Mason Nathan Bates III

By Francis Scott

Mason Nathan Bates III. "What can I say about this young man?" "Lots."

Mason was 19 years old. Had just graduated from high school and just celebrated his nineteenth birthday.

Mason had everything going for him. He was smart, graduated valedictorian, popular, friendly, great personality, tall, muscular, dark brown hair, cut short, and wealthy.

Mason wasn't just wealthy, he was filthy rich. His dad, Mason Nathan Bates II, was the most wealthy man in the state and probably one of the most wealthy men in the United States. The Bates family were multi billionaires. Due to Mason's grandfathers ability to make good investments and run a very successful investment firm. The family now owned businesses in foreign countries and had investments worldwide.

After Mason's graduation, his father had a talk with Mason and told him if he graduated from college with a degree in business, he would become a senior member of the familys business.

Mason was now deciding what Ivy League school he was going to attend. Both his father and grandfather had attended Yale and graduated with business degrees. Mason thought he might go to a different Ivy League School they all had good programs in business. But Mason wanted to have a double major in business and economics.

Mason had his list of schools narrowed down to two, Cornell or Dartmouth. Both had excellent business and economics programs with great reviews. Graduating at the top of his high school class, Mason's college education was paid for with a full scholarship to the college of his choice. Of course, money wasn't an issue, he was more concerned on which college he should attend and give him the best education.

Mason laid on his bed with his laptop and kept comparing both colleges and making a list of which one had more benefits. Finally, after hours of working on his laptop, he made his decision. He decided on Dartmouth. Dartmouth was about a four hundred mile drive one way and he setup an appointment with admissions. Mason had printed out and had copies from his high school of the necessary documents for admission.

Mason hadn't mentioned anything to his dad about his college decision and having a double major. He wanted to surprise his dad.

Mason's dad was very proud of his son and had told him so on many occasions. Mason proved himself, graduating at the top of his high school class of over five hundred students in the graduating class. Mason's dad had big plans for his son. He knew he would get his business degree and then he would be working for the families business. He had plans for Mason to do a lot of traveling and checking on their businesses overseas.

After Mason finished deciding on his college of choice, he was laying on his bed daydreaming. He only had two concerns in his life. First, he didn't have any close friends. His father had warned him ahead of time about being careful with any close friends, as they may be more interested in his money than him. Mason was already aware of that. His second concern was that he didn't have a boyfriend. Mason knew from a very young age that he was attracted and liked boys. He would look at boys in magazines in their underware and get an erection. Not when he looked at the girls. He liked looking at the boys in gym class, especially in the shower room. Mason had nothing to be ashamed of. Now as a young adult, he sported a thick eight inch cut cock with big balls that hung below his cock. Many of the boys would tease Mason about how big he was. Secretly, they wished they were as big as Mason. Mason had matured at an early age and had pubic hair before most of the other boys.

During grade school and junior high school or middle school. He was teased about his name. They asked him if they owned a Bates Motel. And if his name was really Norman and not Mason. They would make scary sounds when he walked down the hall. It didn't bother Mason. He just laughed it off and over time it faded away. His classmates liked Mason and he was always joking and becoming more and more popular. Soon in high school he became class president and president of the National Honor Society and captain of the varsity football team.

Mason's mother Virginia, just called them Mason I, grandfather, Mason II, husband, and Mason III, son. She was a socialite and organized charity events, fashion shows and cocktail parties for her husbands business associates. Virginia was a petite little thing, hardly reaching five feet two inches, with an enviable figure. She had all the curves in the right places and was a very attractive lady.

Mason was glad he took after his father, being tall and muscular and not his mom and be short.

Mason lived in the east wing of their house and his parents lived in the west wing. Both his mother and father had adjoining offices in their wing. Mason had an office in his wing that he used for studying. But when he started college he would be living on campus.

The Bates mansion was in the neo-classic style. Three floors. It was exactly a quarter mile between the east and west wings of the house. There was a smaller house in the same style for the staff. Many times Mason thought they had more staff at his house then teachers and staff at his high school. There seemed to be a maid or valet for everything. Mason's father, mother and himself each had their own private chaffeur. Mason had his own private butler and valet that got out his clothes each day and had his shower ready for him.

Mason owned six cars. Four sports cars and two SUVs. His mother had three cars and his dad had eight cars. Five of his cars were collectibles.

The garage was underground and worked on a hydraulic system. His chaffeur always had his car ready for the day. He would tell him during breakfast which car he was using. His mom and dad did the same with their chaffeurs.

Mason now was anxious for his meeting with admissions at Dartmouth College. He would be leaving in a couple of days and would stay overnight and then drive home the next day. At least that was the plan.

Mason could hardly wait to start college in the fall. He had a couple of good reasons. First and most important was to get a good education. Second, was hopefully to find someone to be friends with. That was one reason why he wanted to live on campus. So his fellow classmates wouldn't know he came from a wealthy family. And hopefully, a friend that would want to be more than just a friend. Maybe a friend with benefits.

Albert was on his way to Mason's door to his wing. Albert was the head housekeeper and was in charge of all the staff. He hired and fired and had new staff trained. He had started working for the Bate's family when Mason's dad was a young man. He needed to tell Mason that his chaffeur was on vacation and if he wanted to have Winston or Jefferson get his SUV ready for tomorrow morning.

He knocked on Mason's main door to his wing of the house. Mason was busy on his computer and thought he heard the main door. He got up and walked over to the door and Albert was there. "Good morning Master Bates. I have some news for you. James is on vacation and I was wondering if you wanted Winston or Jefferson to have your SUV ready for you tomorrow morning?"

Mason always cringed when Albert called him "Master Bates." He knew Albert did it on purpose and there was nothing Mason could do about it. Albert was a favorite of the Bates family, especially his dad, so saying something wouldn't do any good. "Have Winston get the Mercedes SUV ready for me for tomorrow morning."

"Very good Master Bates. Consider it done."

Mason had four sports cars, a vintage Mustang, a limited edition Corvette. It is a 1978 silver anniversary Corvette. A Mercedes Benz S Class Silver 2018 Convertible. And finally a Ferrari 488 Spider that is only used in good weather and on special occasions. His two SUV's are a BMW XM SUV and a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. The Mercedes he was using tomorrow when he drove to Dartmouth.

Mason had another knock on his main door. He opened and Reeves was there. Reeves is Masons personal valet. He had a large sealed mailing envelope. "Here's all the information you need for admissions tomorrow in the sealed envelope as requested by the college. And your room reservation at the Ritz-Carlton. Is there anything else you need?"

"No, thanks Reeves. I think you have all the bases covered." That took care of my copies. I had forgot the college wanted all our documennts in a sealed envelope. I went into my office and shredded the documents that I had printed.

"You can get out some exercise clothes for me and lay them on the bed. Then tell Higgins, I'll be down in a few minutes for my workout."

"Very good Mr. Bates. Consider it taken care of. Would you like me to dress you for the gym?"

Reeves was hoping Mason would let him dress him. He secretly liked Mason, but couldn't do anything that would jeopardize his work. He liked working for the Bates family and they were very good to their staff. Paid holidays, life insurance and a retirement plan.

Sure Reeves. Let's go into my bedroom and you and get out my gym clothes, while I strip out of these clothes and then you can dress me. Mason had a feeling that Reeves liked him. So why not give him the opportunity to touch his body while be dressed him.

Mason quickly stripped out of his clothes and put them on the bed. Reeves came out of the dressing room with gym clothes for Mason. He let out a low gasp. Mason was amazing. His body looked like it was carved out of marble. He had an athletes body. Muscular and well formed. He had muscles in all the right places. Very little body hair and a flaccid cock to die for.

"Reeves, you look like your trembling and shaking. Is everything okay?"

"Oh yes sir. Everything is fine."

Mason smiled to himself. "Let's get started. Why don't you put my jock on me first." Reeves took the jock off the bed and walked over to Mason. He got on his knees while Mason lifted one foot and then the other. When Reeves stood up his head brushed against Mason's flaccid cock. Causing Reeves to shudder. Reeves finished pulling up Mason's jock. Mason said, "I feel a little uncomfortable." Pointing to his crotch. "Maybe you can arrange things for me." Mason was enjoying this and he noticed Reeves getting more and more nervous. "You mean you want me to reach into your jock and adjust you?" "Yes, is that a problem?" "No sir." Reeves was a little hesitant at first, but he pulled the jock out from Masons waist and moved Masons big balls and then his flaccid cock into a position he thought would be more comfortable. "Is that better sir?" "That's perfect Reeves, thanks?" Giving Reeves a big smile. Then Reeves put on Masons compression shorts and a tank top. Helped Mason with his gym shoes and he was ready for the gym. "Thanks Reeves. You're the best. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Oh before I forget. I'll have a light lunch here in my room when I finish my workout. I'll let you know when I return and you can get my shower ready for me." "Yes Mr. Bates. Just let me know when your back here."

Mason walked out smiling to himself. He felt his suspicions were true and that Reeves really liked him.

Once Mason left. Reeves let out a big sigh. "Damn, what a tease Mason is. But I couldn't pass up an opportunity to feel his junk. That kid is hung like a horse. Wonder how that big cock would taste?"

Mason took the elevator close to his wing to the basement where the gym was located. The garage for the cars was located under the basement. Higgins, Masons personal trainer was waiting for him. He had wiped down all the equipment and kept the gym in tip top shape. All state of the art exercise equipment. He liked working with Mason, he was a great kid and dedicated to keeping himself fit. He had the athletes body and his workouts kept him trim, without an ounce of fat.

Mason knew the workout routine and got started. All Higgins had to do at times, was help Mason with his form on some of the apparatus. He could watch Mason all day. That big bulge in the front of his compression shorts always made his bulge grow. He always wondered how big Mason was. But Mason always left when he finished his workout and showered in his room, never in the lockerroom and shower on the side of the gym. Higgins would have showered with him. Seeing what Mason was packing. He was sure it was impressive.

Higgins told Mason that he had already worked out for over an hour and should probably call it a day. Mason agreed. He was sweating and his muscles were sore. He might have Reeves give him a massage, and then he thought. Higgins is a personal trainer, maybe he also knows how to give a good massage.

"Higgins, I have something to ask you?"

"Sure. Shoot."

"Do you know how to give a massage? My muscles are sorer than usual and a massage would help me relax."

"Yes I do Mason. It was part of my training. Especially giving sports players massages after a game."

"Perfect. So, you wouldn't mind giving me a massage?"

"Not at all." He didn't want to seem too eager, but couldn't pass up an opportunity like this. "You should shower first, while I get the massage table set up and ready for you."

"I don't have a change of clothes with me."

"No problem. Just wrap a couple of the towels around you. They are big and will cover you when you leave. Why don't you go ahead and take a shower while I get everything ready."

This was the first time Mason had taken a shower here in the gym. He walked into the changing room and took off his sweaty gym clothes. Put on a pair of packaged shower sandals and walked into the shower room. The shower room was big with four shower heads on each wall. No privacy. It was like taking a shower at school. Mason got the water running and saw soap and shampoo dispensers by each shower head. He let the water run down over himself and got a gob of shampoo on his hands and lathered his head. Higgins couldn't help himself and took a peek into the shower room. Mason had his eyes closed while he shampooed his hair. Higgins was in awe looking at Mason's perfect body, and that nice flaccid cock hanging down. Damn, I think Mason is bigger than me. I hope to find out later during the massage.

Mason started rinsing off and Higgins went back getting everything ready for the massage. He heard the water turn off and Mason walked out with a big towel wrapped around his waist and another towel drying his hair and the rest of his body.

Mason saw a massage table set up with a paper liner on top. "How do you want to do this Mason? You want to keep a towel on or, do you want a complete massage and be naked?"

"I'm not sure. I know my muscles are hurting and sore. Probably a complete massage would be the best."

That's what Higgins was hoping to hear. Why don't you hand me your towels and lie down on your stomach. You face goes into the opening. I have a small towel I will fold and place over your behind.

Soon Mason felt some warm oil being drizzled on his back. He seemed to have an aromatic smell. Soon Mason felt Higgins strong hands working the oil into his back shoulders and neck. It sure felt good. Mason closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling. His back and shoulder muscles were already feeling better. Mason felt like he could easily fall asleep. But he didn't want to. He wanted to enjoy this great massage. Higgins sure knew what he was doing. He was wondering if Higgins was interested in him like Reeves. Mason wasn't sure. I've never been with a man or another person my age so I don't have any experience. Only what I've read and seen on the internet, but I don't know how much of that I can believe. Oh well, I'll just go with the flow and see what happens.

Higgins was enjoying working Masons muscles. He couldn't wait until he started the massage on the front. At least Mason couldn't see the big bulge in front of his gym shorts right now. Mason had some tight spots and knots that Higgins had to work repeatedly to get the muscles to relax. Everytime he did, he heard Mason give a sigh of relief. Higgins now was working Masons lower back and then his arms and fingers. Higgins took a chance and folded the little towel over Mason glutes and put it on the side. Mason didn't say anything so Higgins figured he could proceed. Higgins started working Mason firm muscular glutes. Damn they felt good. Higgins thought he could hold and work these glutes all day and never get tired of looking at them. He would squeeze and pull on his glutes, sometimes opening them and Higgins could see Masons hot little rosebud. He wondered what his slick oiled cock would feel like sliding into that tight little hole. He was sure nothing had ever been in that hole before and he would be the first. That made his cock twitch and throb in his gym shorts. Higgins now was working on Masons legs and then his feet and toes. He had the back side finished and motioned Mason to turn over.

Mason was half awake and half asleep. He finally got the hint and turned over. Mason didn't realize his cock was at half mast. He put his head back into the opening at the end of the massage table. And went back to being half awake and half asleep. The full body massage felt good and relaxing. He had never experienced anything like this before. In fact, this was the first massage he had ever had. The team doctor would rub out sore muscles, but never gave a massage.

Higgins was wondering what was going on with him. He liked women. In fact, he liked women a lot, but there was something about Mason that attracted him. Mason had the perfect body. Maybe that was what was attracting him.

Higgins was working on Masons pecs and nips and his nibs were hard and Higgins kept rubbing over them. Mason couldn't help but give out a low moan. Soon Higgins was working on Mason abs and stomach and getting closer and closer to Masons cock and balls. Higgins then poured oil on Masons legs and he worked his leg muscles, feeling the muscles relaxing. He did Masons feet and then worked his hands up Masons thighs and to the inside of his thighs. His fingertips were brushing against Mason balls. Higgins couldn't believe how hard he was in his gym shorts. Luckily, Mason kept his eyes closed.

Higgins thought he would get a litte more daring and poured oil on his hands and then slowly started massaging Mason big low hanging balls. Mason didn't push his hands away or say anything, so Higgins kept stretching and rolling those big balls around in his hands. He then thought he had worked his balls enough. He wiped the oil off his hands and slid his gym shorts down and kicked them off. His hard cock was straining his jock. He then put more oil on his hands and started working Masons shaft. Slowly up and down. Masons cock was warm and throbbing and twitching as he worked his big hard shaft. Mason was moaning and couldn't believe the good sensations going through his body. He didn't realize yet, that Higgins was slowly jerking him off.

Finally, Higgins leaned over a bit to get a better jerking action on Mason"s cock. When he did that his hard cock brushed against Mason hand. This caused Mason to open his eyes and he realized then, what was happening. "Higgins, what are you doing?"

Higgins immediately stopped. "I'm sorry sir. I don't know what happened to me. I seemed to be in a trance and had no control over my actions."

"No problem Higgins. I was just wondering what was feeling so good. We will need to keep this our secret. No way, can my dad find out. He would kill both of us."

"You're not mad at me Mason?"

"Not at all. It's the best feeling I've ever had. Just go back to what you were doing."

Higgins let out a sigh of relief and went back to slowly stroking Masons cock. He let his own hardon rub back and forth over Masons hand.

Mason felt something hard rubbing his hand and grabbed whatever it was. Higgins gave out a gasp, and then continued jerking Mason. Mason knew what it was. It was Higgins hardon. Mason started rubbing his hardon through his jock while Higgins started picking up his jerking speed.

Higgins in one quick movement slid his jock off and it fell to his ankles where he kicked it off. Mason could now grab his hard shaft and start stroking him in rhythm with Higgins jerking him. Mason felt himself getting close to cumming. He knew the feeling when he jerked himself off at night. He didn't know if Higgins was getting close. Then Mason felt something warm and moist. He looked down and Higgins was sucking his cock. The feelings for Mason were undescribable. He had never felt anything so good in his life. He liked watching Higgins bobbing up and down on his cock. It made him stroke Higgins faster. Finally, Mason gave out a gasp and told Higgins he was going to cum. Mason couldn't control himself any long and started jerking and trembling and shot out a massive load into Higgins waiting mouth. Mason was shaking he came so hard. Higgins told Mason he was going to cum. Mason leaned over on the edge took Higgins fat cock head in his mouth and felt the first shot hit the back of his throat and then Mason swallowed down the rest of the load. Mason couldn't believe how fantastic this was.

They just stayed there panting for air and finally Higgins put his jock and shorts back on. Higgins helped Mason off the massage table and Mason wrapped a big towel around himself and said he was going back to his room. Mason felt exhausted. His massive orgasm had drained the strength out of him.

Mason and Higgins looked at each other and then started laughing. "Remember Higgins, this has to stay just between us. What happened here needs to stay here."

"No problem sir. My lips are sealed. But thank you for a great time."

"Thank you too, Higgins. This has been the best experience of my life."

Mason didn't have to worry about the closed circuit security cameras. They were only located in the long hallways. Masons dad had a full crew of secuity people outside that patrolled the grounds 24/7 on a rotating schedule, with the second crew.

On his way out, Mason buzzed Reeves and told him to have his shower ready for him. And then he could bring in his lunch.

Higgins watched Mason leave and take the elevator to his wing.

Mason still couldn't believe what had happened. He had no regrets about what they had done. It was something he dreamed about when he jacked off at night. And now it had happened.

When he got to his wing, Reeves was waiting inside for Mason. He noticed Mason looked flushed. He figured Higgins must have put Mason through his paces. "Your shower is ready for you sir."

"Thanks Reeves. Go ahead and bring my lunch."

"Very good sir." And Reeves left his room.

The hot shower felt good. Just what Mason needed. He had noticed Reeves had laid out some clothes on his bed.

Mason had planned on going swimming after lunch, but discarded that idea. He was tired after his workout, massage and hot sex with Higgins.

Mason dried off and smelled something good. He got dressed and walked into his dining room and lunch was waiting for him.

Mason ate his lunch and buzzed Reeves to clear the dishes. Mason then went into his office and checked some more on the economics and business programs at Dartmouth. He got tired after about an hour.

He laid down on his bed and wasn't wakened until it was dinner time.

Mason ate a small dinner and went to bed. He watched tv for a bit and wanted to have a good rest for leaving early tomorrow morning. He was leaving at seven and depending on traffic, he should arrive at the college around eleven in the morning. His meeting with director of admissions was at one in the afternoon. He wanted to get checked into his room at the Ritz-Carlton and then grab some lunch at the hotel and head over to the college and walk around for a bit before his one o'clock appointment.

Reeves was disappointed. He thought Mason was going for a swim after lunch. He would have given him an opportunity to put Mason's speedo on him. Then he could get a good whiff of Mason cock and balls, and maybe get a quick feel as he pulled Masons speedo on. Well, that didn't happen.

Higgins was finishing in the gym and getting all the equipment wiped down and disenfected. Along with the changing room and shower room. He knew Masons mom would have her group of friends here for their aerobics and yoga. He still couldn't believe what happened with Mason. It was like he was in a trance when he touched Mason's body. And then couldn't get enough of him. He had never done that with another man or even his close school friends, when he was in school. And besides it was his boss. How stupid of him. Well, it wouldn't happen again.

Mason woke up to Reeves quiet voice. "It's time to get up Mason and have breakfast and get ready for your trip."

Mason had worn boxer briefs to bed. He usually slept naked, but for some reason, boxers felt good. He mumbled a little and shook out the cob webs and walked over to his dining room, where breakfast was served. Reeves couldn't help but notice Masons morning woody. It sure looked nice and ready for action.

While Mason was eating his breakfast, he asked Reeves to get his shower ready for him and lay out his clothes for his trip. Reeve said his clothes were already laid out, and he would get his shower ready.

Mason knew Reeves liked him. So he liked to tease him. Mason told Reeves he had finished his breakfast. Reeves cleared the table and took care of the dirty dishes and wiped off the dining room table. Mason purposely left his bathroom door open to give Reeves a show. He knew Reeves was watching him out of the corner of his eye. Mason slowly pulled his boxers down and pulled them out and over his morning hardon. He bent over so Reeves could get a good view of his ass and finished pulling down his briefs and kicked them off.

He got into the shower, which had clear glass walls and started lathering himself. Paying special attention to his cock balls and asshole. Reeves was in a trance watching Mason. He couldn't help himself. His bulge was growing in his uniform pants. Mason finished his shower and turned off the water. Reeves got one last look while Mason pulled the water off his water. He opened the glass door and asked Reeves to hand him his towel. Reeves was right there and got another good look at Masons hot body and big cock and balls.

Reeves told Mason that his Mercedes SUV was ready. Winston had cleaned it and made sure it was ready for his trip and fueled. It was parked in the front. Mason thanked Reeves and asked him to help him get dressed.

Reeves was more than happy to help Mason get dressed. He first put on Masons tighty whities, making sure his hands rubbed over Masons cock and balls. Then his socks. He helped Mason with his Polo pull over shirt and then his dress slacks. Finally, he helped put on his dress shoes and belt. Reeves thought he looked like a preppy. Mason was satisfied and splashed on a little cologne.

"You look ready sir."

"Thanks Reeves. I feel ready. Is my overnight bag stowed in the SUV?"

"Yes sir. Everything is ready. Also a travel mug filled with fresh hot coffee."

"Thanks Reeves. You always think of everything."

"Thank you sir. Is there anything else you need?"

"No. I'm ready for my trip."

Reeves did some tidying in Masons room. Masons maid would take care of the cleaning.

As Mason made his way to the elevator, he met Albert.

"Are you ready Master Bates for you trip?" Which he always said with a smirky smile on his face.

"Yes Albert. I'm heading down to the front to leave."

"Have a safe trip Master Bates."

I didn't give Albert a reply.

I got to the first floor and walked to the entrance. One of the maids opened the door for and I thanked her.

Winston was by my SUV waiting for me.

"Everything is ready for your trip."

"Thanks Winston." Winston opened the drivers door for me and I got into my SUV and left the grounds of the mansion. The exit wound around between a tree lined paved road. It was about two miles to leave the mansion and make it to the front security gate. The guard at the gate waved to me and I left the mansion grounds. The computer and GPS were programmed for my trip to the Ritz-Carlton and Dartmouth college. I was ready and couldn't wait to start the next part of my education.

Mason was happy that traffic was light and he could make good time. Mason wasn't a fast driver. On the freeway, he only drove one or two miles over the speed limit and cars were still passing him left and right.

Soon Mason saw the turn off ramp coming and he slowed down and followed the GPS to the Ritz-Carlton. Mason could see the hotel and he parked in front under the marble canopy. A parking valet was right there. The valet motioned to a porter who took Masons ovenight bag out of the SUV. Mason was given a ticket from the valet so he would know who had parked his SUV.

Mason had never been in this Ritz-Carlton, but he looked the same as most of them. He walked into the massive lobby, ornately decorated and busy with people. He walked over to the reservation desk and handed the cute young lady his room information. She checked something on her computer. "Very good Mr. Bates. Your room is ready for you. Anything else you need, just call the concierge and they will take care of your needs."

"Thank you."

The porter was right there and had Mason followed him to his room. His room happened to be the penthouse, with it's own private elevator.

The penthouse was huge. He had an open floor plan which also made it look bigger. It had two master bedrooms and two guest bedrooms. A huge living room with a fireplace and a grand piano. A large gourmet kitchen and an elegant dining room. The porter put Masons overnight bag in the first master bedroom. The porter told Mason, "your butler will be here shortly."

Soon there was a knock on the door and the butler let himself him. "Good morning Mr. Bates. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes. I'm going to freshen up and change clothes before I go to the college. I would like a light lunch."

"Do you want me start your shower and lay your clothes out on the bed?"

"Yes. That would be perfect."

"Very good sir." Mason walked to the master bedroom, followed by the butler.

Mason was used to stripped and being naked in front of his staff at home. After years of playing sports and changing and showering. He had no qualms about being naked. Besides he was proud of his body.

The butler was taken back by Mason being so forward and stripping his clothes off in front of him. Mason didn't give it a second thought and grabbed a big plush bath towel and walked into the bathroom. What a bathroom, all marble with brass fixtures. It had a jacuzzi tub, steam room and a huge shower. Double sinks with a vanity between the two mirrors. Two dressing rooms in the bedroom.

Mason took a quick shower and dried off. He walked back into the bedroom and saw his clothes laid out on the bed. The butler had made a perfect choice. While he was getting dressed, he checked the time and it was just a quarter to twelve. Perfect. He didn't have to rush around.

He finished dressing and walked out to the living room. He saw the butler arranging his lunch on the dining room table.

"Your lunch is ready sir."

Mason thanked the butler and told him he didn't have anything else for him right now.

The butler left the penthouse and Mason ate in silence. Just like he did at home. He was thinking about his upcoming meeting with admissions. He couldn't wait to get that over.

His lunch was perfect. Some kind of gourmet sandwiches with a variety fruit plate. And a tall glass of some kind of refreshment. Healthy, and just what Mason liked.

Mason finished his lunch and buzzed the butler. The butler was there immediately. Like he was waiting outside the door. Maybe he was. Mason told the butler he was finished with lunch and would be leaving now for the college.

Mason found his sealed folder. He wouldn't need his printouts, he had shredded them anyway. All the information that admissions needed, was in the folder. Mason found his ticket for the valet and the butler had his elevator ready for him.

Mason made it down to the lobby. And the concierge had the valet there waiting for Mason. The valet told Mason his car was in front and waiting for him. Mason gave the valet a generous tip and was handed back the valet ticket. The valet told Mason he would be his private valet while he stayed at the Ritz-Carlton.

The valet opened the door of Mason's SUV and Mason got in. He turned on the GPS and followed the directions to the college.

The college wasn't far from the hotel. Only a few blocks. But with the skyscrapers and buildings all around. He couldn't see the college. He probably could see the college from the penthouse.

A sign appeared welcoming you to Dartmouth College. It seemed quite large. But then again, I didn't know what to expect. I followed the signs to the administration building and sign that pointed to admissions. The parking lot was almost empty, so I easily found a parking spot. I checked the time on my SUV and it was just after twelve thirty. My appointment was for one. So it gave me a few minutes to walk around. Without a map, I wasn't going too stray far. But what I had seen so far was impressive. My high school teachers told me that Dartmouth was a small college with a very hard admission process, but they knew I would have no problem being accepted. With my academic and extracurricular activities and leadership skills.

I walked around for a few minutes. Everything looked old, but in good condition. I saw a few students walking around. But I knew that I was applying early, and most students were on vacation or probably started their admission process.

It was a quarter to one and I thought I better head into admissions. I don't like being late. And I prefer being early. My hands had started sweating and I didn't realize I was nervous. I don't know why. I knew I had everything the college was looking for.

I walked in and the smell reminded me of a hospital. That sterile smell. I looked at the signs and found a receptionist for admissions. She asked me my name and told me to take a seat and Mrs. Sherman would be with me shortly.

I sat the sealed envelope down on the chair next to me. I didn't want to get sweat stains, from my hands, on the envelope. I was wondering how long I would have to wait. I wiped my hands off on my handkerchief and that seemed to get rid of the sweat.

Soon my name was called by the receptionist and she told me Mrs. Sherman would see me now. She led me to her office and opened the door for me. An older woman stood up and we shook hands and she told me to take a seat. The office furniture was all in mahogany, which made the room appear dark, even with all the windows and lighting. Mrs. Sherman appeared gruff and stern. Her gray hair was pulled back into a severe bun. She was wearing a matching blouse with a jacket and skirt.

She cleared her throat and said, "let's get started. First, I'd like to ask you a couple of questions. First, why did you choose Dartmouth?"

"After doing a lot of searching on the internet, I was torn between Cornell and Dartmouth. I choose Dartmouth because it's smaller and more personal. I thought that would be a good transition for me from high school. Where the teachers were personal with their students. Also, I like the economics and business programs Dartmouth offers."

"I see," said Mrs. Sherman. I know of your family. I think most people do. I know you come from a very wealthy family, but that will not be an influencing factor in determining whether you're admitted to Dartmouth or not. What's inside that sealed envelope will determine if you're admitted."

"I understand. And I've never used my family name or wealth to get what I wanted."

"That's very commendable of you Mr. Bates."

"Now, how about if you hand me your sealed envelope and we can get this process started."

My hands had started sweating again as I handed the large sealed envelope to Mrs. Sherman.

"Be patient Mr. Bates. I need to look over everything before I say any more. This will take a few minutes."

Mrs. Sherman used a letter opener and opened the large mailing envelope. "I'm glad to see you haven't opened the envelope. Many students, out of curiosity, open the envelope, and I can't accept an opened envelope."

Mrs. Sherman started pulled out papers and arranging them on her desk. I didn't realize they could cram that many papers into a large mailer.

The first paper was a letter of recommendation from the Superintendent of Schools. Congratulating Mason Bates on his academic achievements. Followed by a letter of recommendation from the high school principal, and finally a letter of recommendation from the high school teacher representative. Mrs. Sherman started spreading the papers out on her desk. Not really showing any emotion and giving a grunt and nod here and there. Next were Masons academic achievements. Valedictorian of his high school class with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Followed by a certificate of achievement for a perfect score on his SAT test and a certificate of achievement on a perfect score on his ACT test. Also, his scholarship to the college of his choice, all expenses paid. Next was a copy of Masons classes he had taken through high school with his grades. Also, he had started taking AP courses in his junior year of high school and all of his senior year. Next were his extracurricular activties. President of his class in both his junior and senior years of high school. President of the National Honor Society. Captain of the varsity football team in his senior year.

Mrs. Sherman had all these papers spread out on her desk and kept looking them over. Finally, she looked up at Mason with a smile on her face. "Mason, you're quite the young man. These are the most impressive documents I've seen in many years. And I've been doing admissions here for almost thirty years. All I can say is I'm overwhelmed by your achievements. I'm wondering how you managed to find time to study?"

"Well, I managed to work it in."

Which made Mrs. Sherman smile. "What are your plans for Dartmouth? I mean, what do you plan to study?"

"I would like to get a double major in economics and business. My father has already promised me a job in the family business if I get my business degree. But I thought adding economics on, would be a good combination."

"Your a smart young man Mason. And I think your choice of a double major is a good decision. But let me get back to the reason you're here."

"After carefully looking over all your papers, a few times, I can only come up with one decision."

"Mason was really sweating now and had to wipe sweat off his forehead."

"I'm sorry Mason for drawing this out. But I couldn't stop looking over all these wonderful documents. Dartmouth college would be honored to have you here as a student starting fall semester. I will have one of the seniors take you around campus as a short orientation. The receptionist will have a copy of the student handbook for you. Along with the undergraduate book of majors and the classes involved for each major and the number of credits. Mrs. Sherman picked up her phone and she was talking to someone. I just took care of your room, so you'd be sure to have a room reserved for you this fall."

We stood up and shook hands and Mrs. Sherman said, "welcome to Dartmouth college. She led me out of her office and to the receptionist. "Enjoy the rest of your day Mason and I hope your enjoy your time here at Dartmouth."

The receptionist handed me the two books that Mrs. Sherman had mentioned and a tall young man walked in. We shook hands and his name was Beau and told me he would give me a quick tour of the campus.

Once we left the admissions building, Beau said, "you must have made quite an impression on General Sherman."

"What do you mean?"

"First, she rarely does admissions interviews. And second she acually seemed happy?"

"I guess she was impressed with the admissions documents."

"Well, let's do this quick tour. First, welcome to Dartmouth. I hope you like it here. It's a friendly campus. And the teachers get personal with the students, which makes learning a fun experience."

"Let's go to your residence hall and I'll show you your room. Your in North Park House, which has some of the nicest dorm rooms on campus. You have a single room." We seemed to walk forever and I knew I would never find my way around. Beau seemed to realize I was confused. "Don't worry, I'll give you a map of the campus before we finish. After a couple of days, it will be like instinct where to go."

We arrived at North Park House and Beau talked for a couple of minutes to someone at the reception desk. I noticed he had a room key. "Follow me Mason." The residence hall had three floors and I followed Beau. He stopped in front of a room and unlocked the door. "This "is your room Beau." I didn't know what to expect, but the dorm room had a lot of space. There was a small kitchen with a refrigerator and an apartment sized stove. Even though I didn't know how to cook. It looked like a queen sized bed with a study area. A large dresser and a small walk in closet. Also, it had it's own bathroom. I thought this was perfect for me. Beau showed me the internet connection. I would be able to bring most everything I was planning on.

We left the room. "What do you think Mason?" "I think that room is perfect for me. Everything that I need."

"Good. I'm glad to hear that. North Park House is quiet and set back and makes a perfect environment for studying. Most of the students in North Park House are masters or doctorate students. So you will find it quiet."

We walked back downstairs and Beau turned in my room key. And he told me he would show me how to get to the school of business and the school of economics. It didn't seem far from North Park House. The schools were located next to each other which would make it easy for me. Beau said, "I don't know who your advisor will be, otherwise, I could introduce you. Since you have a double major it will be either one of the teachers of business or one of the teachers of economics. "You'll get that information when you have the full orientation, the week before school starts. I would recommend arriving at least two weeks before school starts. So you can start getting familiar with the campus. The student union, bookstore, main dining hall and then your two schools."

We started walking back and Beau ran into a building and came out with a campus map for me. "This should help you out. Do you have any questions Mason?"

"Not right now, but I'm sure I will in the future."

We arrived back at the admissions building and Beau thanked me for becoming a member of the Darmouth community. I thanked him for his short tour of the campus." He told me he would try to be my guide for the orientation before classes start. He told me when I arrived to ask for Beau and they would know if he would be available.

We shook hands and I thanked him again. I walked over to my SUV with the map and two books. The undergraduate student handbook and the books of majors and requirements.

I soon took off for the hotel. I arrived and gave the same valet my keys and he parked my car. I walked into the hotel and took my private elevator to the penthouse. The butler was inside and waiting for me. I still was chuckling to myself about Beau when he called Mrs. Sherman, General Sherman. She seemed like a general at first, but once she reviewed my papers, her mood changed rapidly. I couldn't believe how smoothly everything went.

The butler greeted me and asked me if their was anything I needed I told him I was going to the hotel gym for a bit and then have something to eat after. He smiled and said, "Mr. Bates, your penthouse has a small state of the art gym. Let me show you."

I followed the butler down the the hall which I thought was all bedrooms. He opened a side door and inside was a gym. It looked like a mini version of the gym at home. "This is perfect. Would you lay out some gym clothes for me on the bed?"

"Of course Mr. Bates." I thought I should take a look around. I had only just glanced around quickly yesterday. Another side door opened into a nice sized office with a computer and a combination fax, printer and scanning machine. I turned around and walked out and thought I'd see if I could see the college from the wrap around deck. I walked out from the living room and was surprised to see an infinity pool. Not big, but just right for me. I walked to the right and looked out and could see the campus. I didn't recognize any of the buildings, but I knew it was Dartmouth.

I walked back to my master bedroom and the butler was just finishing laying out my gym clothes. "Would you like help changing?" "No thanks, I can manage. I would like another light lunch after I workout."

"Very good sir. I'll get right on it."

Mason got in a good workout. It helped him relax after being all hyped up. He took a quick shower and ate his lunch with a towel wrapped around his waist. The butler didn't mind. In fact, Mason thought the butler liked it. Mason did a little reading in his master bedroom. Starting with the student handbook.

The time went by fast and it was approaching dinner time. Mason asked the butler what he would recommend I eat for dinner. The butler told Mason the hotel had an excellent French restaurant and Italian Restaurant. With high reviews and excellent food.

Mason ate downstairs at the recommended French restaurant in the hotel. He had a half carafe of the house red wine, with a delicious steak dinner. After dinner, Mason went up to his penthouse and took a dip in the infinity pool. He skinny dipped. Being way up in the penthouse, nobody would see him. And if they did, then they'd get a show.

Mason rinsed off outside and dried off. Wrapped another big plush towel around his waist and went to his master bedroom for the night. He read some more and watched a little tv until he got tired.

Mason planned to leave at eight in the morning. With his four hour drive home, he should arrive around noon, depending on the traffic. He had already alerted Reeves, so he could be expecting him.

Something Mason didn't know. His father had hired a special team many years ago, to keep an eye on Mason and to update his father. With his busy work schedule and traveling a lot, he could keep caught up with what Mason was doing. Mason Bates II had his suspicions about Mason being gay. He never mentioned a girlfriend and he was always hanging around with guys. He never brought any friends home. I think he was suspicious that they might be more interested in his money than him. Mason Bates II, had the same problem when he was in school. He was always leary about a friend being interested in his money and not him.

Anyhow, he didn't care if Mason was gay. He was a fine young man. Popular and smart as a whip. He would make a good addition to the family business. He thought his son would tell him when he was ready. And it wouldn't matter. He loved his son and was proud of his accomplishments.

Mason woke up to a light knock on his bedroom door. It was the butler telling him his breakfast was ready and it was seven. Mason got up right away and took a quick shower. Wrapped a towel around and walked out and ate his breakfast. He asked the butler to lay out his travel clothes and to pack his overnight bag.

Mason finished his breakfast and walked back to the master bedroom. "Would you like me to dress you sir?"

"No, that won't be necessary. Do you have my overnight bag packed?"

"Just finishing sir."

Mason dropped his towel and was completely naked. The butler gave out a gasp, he couldn't believe how perfect Mason's body was. He wasn't gay, but anybody would appreciate how Mason looked.

Mason knew the butler was watching him, so he thought he would tease him a little bit. Mason bent over and slowly pulled up his briefs. And then turned around and got everything adjusted in the front. He noticed the butler giving him quick glances. Mason then put on his dress socks. Put his shirt and pants on with a nice dress belt and finished off with his dress shoes. He thought he looked ready for leaving. "What do you think?" He asked the butler. "You look ready for your trip sir."

Mason did one quick check around the penthouse to make sure he hadn't forgot anything. He kept the two books with himself and the butler and Mason took the elevator down to the lobby. The butler handed his overnight bag to a porter and thanked Mason. Mason saw the valet pull his SUV up in front and the porter stowed Mason's overnight bag in the back of the SUV. Mason gave the valet a handsome tip and he was on his way home.

Traffic was light and Mason made good time getting home. He had called ahead to let Reeves know where he was. The GPS worked perfect and soon Mason was parking in front of the mansion. Reeves greeted Mason and took us overnight bag out. They took the elevator up to his wing. And Reeves took care of Mason's clothes.

Over the next few days and weeks, Mason read over the undergraduate book and practically had it memorized. He noticed the B.S. program in business took two years to complete and the B.S. program in economics took four years to complete. Both the masters programs in business and economics was around four years. So if everything went as planned, he would be studying at Dartmouth for about eight years. Making him 27 when he graduated. He didn't think that was too bad. Maybe, there would be a chance to finish sooner.

Mason started getting a list ready of things he wanted to take to his dorm room at Dartmouth. He definitely wanted to buy a new computer. He had plenty of clothes, so that wasn't an issue. Maybe a new stereo and a tv for his room. He had plenty of space in his dorm room. Other than that, he didn't think he needed anything else. He would use his Mercedes SUV. It had the largest cargo space. And should be able to hold everything.

Mason's dad was gone again on a business trip. He seemed to be gone more. Mason had learned his grandfather, had cut way back on his work in the company. According to Reeves, he was suffering from dementia and was having trouble remembering his name and sometimes was asking my father who he was. Grandpa was also having difficulty remembering and keeping his work organized. So my dad thought it was better to take over those responsibilities. That's why his dad couldn't wait until Mason graduated with his business degree. He would have Mason do most of the traveling. Giving him more time to have board meetings and keep everything running smoothly on the home front.

Mason planned on arriving early to Dartmouth. Rather than two weeks before classes, he planned on three weeks before classes. He wanted to feel ready for his classes and know the campus well.

He was counting down the days. Summer vacation would soon be over and he'd be starting classes at Dartmouth. He had read some reviews online where students had finished their undergraduate course work in two years and the same for the graduate work. Mason wondered how they managed that. Maybe his advisor would be able to tell him.

Mason had everything ready in his wing. A new computer and tv in their original boxes. Clothes were packed in his calf skin suitcases. His dad was gone again on a business trip and his mom. Who knew where his mom was. Probably doing some charity work or organizing another cocktail party. She never seemed to have time for anybody. He saw his father more than his mother. And that wasn't often.

Here it was the day to leave. He wasn't leaving early. There was no rush to get to the college right away. He had a late breakfast. Got cleaned while Reeves and Winston got everything loaded into the Mercedes SUV. They told Mason there was still more room, if there was anything else he wanted to take. He told them no. He had everything ready that he needed.

He dressed himself on the clothes laid out on his bed. Reeves told him again, that he looked "preppy."

Winston told Mason his Mercedes was ready. All gased and clean inside and out. While Mason walked to the elevator. He told one last look around. It would be the last time he would be here for a few months. Most of the staff was downstairs by the front extrance to bid Mason a safe trip and good luck in his studies. Of course Albert asked Mason, "is Master Bates ready for his trip?"

"Yes Albert. I'm all ready."

Mason walked out of the house and again took one last look around. Winston opened the driver's door for Mason and he got in. He waved to everyone as he left.

Mason knew the route to the college and it was programmed into the GPS, in case he needed help.

Mason took his time and thought he'd eat lunch at the college or in town. He arrived and followed the signs to North Park House. He found a parking spot and walked into and straight to the admissions counter. A young man asked for his name and he told him. He gave Mason his room key with a student ID and asked Mason if he needed a map of the campus. He told him he already had one. He told Mason where he needed to go for his class lists and advisor. He thanked the young man and walked up to his room. Once inside, it looked just like he remembered.

Mason heard noise outside his room and opened the door. A student was having trouble moving in a big screen tv by himself. Mason offered to help and the student thanked him. Once the tv was inside they shook hands and introduced themselves. Mason's neighbor was Rex. Rex was a big guy. Probably six four or five and muscular. He looked like a linebacker. He told Mason he had played high school football. Mason told him he had also. Rex had dark brown hair cut short. With brown eyes. He was a good looking young man. And Mason felt attracted to him, he didn't know why he just did.

"Did you just arrive Rex?"

"Yes. How about you?"

"The same. How about if we help each other get our vehicles unloaded?"

"Sounds good Mason."

"Since you're already started Rex. Let's finish with your things first and then we can unload my vehicle."

Rex liked Mason. He seemed like a nice guy. With the two of them it didn't take long to unload Rex's car. Then Rex helped Mason unload the SUV. "Pretty nice SUV you have Mason?"

"Thanks. It was a high school graduation present."

"Pretty nice graduation present. I like it."

"Your Mercedes S Class Sedan is nothing to complain about."

"Like you, it was a graduation present."

"I don't feel like unpacking right now. How about if we find a restaurant and get something to eat. I'm starving."

"Let me grab me map. I know they're cafes and restaurants on campus."

Rex came out of his room with a map. They locked their dorms rooms and headed out of North Park House. They found North Park House on the map and a restaurant looked close to their residence hall.

They were talking animately, like they had known each other forever.

They found the restaurant and a hostess seated them immediately. They talked about their families. Mason held back a little. He wasn't sure how Rex would react if he knew Mason was a Bates. Mason quickly changed the conversation as to their majors. Rex was majoring in business. He told Mason his dad had promised a job in the family business if he got his degree in business. Mason told Rex, his dad told him the same thing. Except he was getting a double major in business and economics. He felt the two majors would be a big plus for him in the family business. Rex liked that idea. And he thought he should do the same thing. He told Mason when he meets with his advisor he's going to change to a double major like Mason. They talked more and found they were both only children. Mason knew of Rex's family business. He had heard his dad mention the business, but never went into any details.

They had a wonderful lunch and conversation. Once they finished their lunch and showed their student ID's they didn't have to pay anything. Rex told Mason he was attending Dartmouth on an all paid academic scholarship and Mason told Rex he was also. In the short time they had spent together. It just drew them closer and closer together and by the time they left the restaurant, they felt like brothers.

Once they got back to North Park House. They decided to work separately getting their rooms organized and things put away and unpacked. They both had single rooms, the rooms looked pretty similar. Their floor was all male students. The third floor was women. And the first floor was a mix of men and women. Their residence hall. Had washers and dryers in the basement. Along with a game room. The first floor also a had large rec room for lounging with study cubicles along one wall. With internet connections. The lobby had a pay phone. The rooms all had phones, besides the students cell phones. They had agreed at six, if they hadn't finished they would take a break for dinner.

It didn't take Mason long. He first put his clothes away and stored his suitcases in the closet. He arranged his toiletries in the bathroom. What took the longest was setting up his computer, tv, and stereo. He did his computer first, then the tv, and finally the stereo. He checked the time and it was approaching five thirty. The empty boxes fit comfortably in his walk in closet. He thought his room looked pretty good. He would buy a few things from the student union to place around his room and also a hoodie and maybe some workout clothes if they had them in the student union. Also, the North Park House admissions person had told Mason they already posted the advisors and students doing the orientation on the big bulletin board in the student union. I checked my handbook and the student union stayed open until nine. Till classes started, then it was open almost 24/7. Since Mason had finished with what he could do in his room. He thought he'd check on Rex and see if he needed any help.

He knocked on Rex's door and didn't hear anything. He knocked again a little harder and still no reply. Mason tried the door handle and it was open. He was wondering if he should walk in. He opened the door a little further and heard the shower going in Rex's bathroom. That's why he hadn't heard him. He shouted out to Rex that he was in his room. Rex told him he would be with him soon.

Rex's room looked pretty good. It looked like he had everything done. I saw his computer and tv set up. He had brought a few things, it looked like from his bedroom at his house and had some photos and a couple of posters on the wall. One poster was of his high school football team. The other poster was of some rock band Mason hadn't heard of.

Rex was glad Mason was in his room. The only problem, when he heard Mason's voice, it gave him an instant erection and he wasn't sure how he could get it to go down. Rex was gay, but in the closest. He knew if his dad found out, the shit would hit the fan. But for some reason, he had strong feeling for Mason. He was wondering about Mason and if he felt the same way. He also wondered if Mason was gay. He was getting mixed signals from him.

The bathroom was connected to the bedroom. The bedroom had it's own door. Then the living area, small kitchen with an island for sitting and eating. And a study area. Just like Mason's room.

Mason heard the shower stop and Rex thought he'd try something. He wrapped a big towel around his waist, but his bulge was still showing. He thought he'd peek out and tell Mason that he was almost ready.

When Rex opened the door and peeked out. Mason almost had a heart attack. Rex was a god. He had the perfect athletes body and was drop dead gorgeous with just a towel wrapped around him. Mason also noticed the bulge and could feel his own cock stirring in his pants. "I'll be right out Mason."

"Ok. Take your time. There's no rush."

Besides Mason needed to think of something to get his erection to go down. He was glad it took Rex a few minutes before he came out of he bedroom all dressed and looking handsome. He had thought about his gradma having sex and he felt his cock going back to it's flaccid state immediately.

"You ready for dinner?" They both wore dress slacks with a nice pull over shirt and dress shoes. They had both splashed a little cologne on. "I'm hungry again after putting everything away. Your room looks pretty good."

"Thanks. I bet yours does too. We can check out your room after dinner. And maybe stop by the student union before coming back to North Park House."

"Sounds like a plan."

Rex pulled out his map again and they decided to go to a different restaurant for dinner. The chinese restaurant sounded good to both of them and that's where they headed. They noticed on the map that it wasn't too far from the student union.

The restaurant wasn't busy. But like they had said before, most of the students hadn't arrived yet. A hostess seated them and told us our waiter would soon be with us. I thought now was just as good a time as any to tell Rex my full name and then he could decide if he still wanted to be my friend. "Rex, I have something to tell you and I hope you won't get upset?"

"I don't think anything you tell me would upset me."

"My full name is Mason Nathan Bates III."

"I saw a smile on Rex's face. I wasn't sure what that meant. I already knew that. I just wondering when you were going to tell me. I've seen you with your father on tv."

"So, you're not upset with me?"

"Why. Should I be?"

"I guess not. I was just surprised is all."

"Why is that Mason?"

"Because, most of the time people are interested in my money and not me. And I thought you'd be the same way."

"I appreciate you being honest with me. But I come from a wealthy family too. Not as wealthy as your family. But my parents are multi-millionaires, mainly due to being a member of your parent's business."

"Now that we have that out of the way. How about if we enjoy our dinner."

Mason felt a big sigh of relief. He was glad his being a Bates wasn't a problem with Rex. He really liked Rex and was glad they were becoming friends. Something he missed in his life.

If anyone had overheard Mason and Rex talking, they would have thought they had been friends forever and were catching up on what the other was doing.

Mason and Rex decided to order off the menu. They didn't want to eat off the buffet. They enjoyed their dinner and checked the time. They still had time to go to the student union before it closed. Again, they didn't have to pay anything for their meals when they showed the waiter their student IDs.

They followed the map and the student union was close to the chinese restaurant. They walked in to a spacious open room. They first went to the big bulletin board and found their names and who their advisors were. Masons advisor was Dr. Wickerman and Rexs advisor was Dr. Knotwell. A student came over and noticed the confused looks on their faces. "Maybe, I can help you?"

"We just found our advisors, but we aren't sure what to do next?"

We told the student who advisors were and he told us to go to the school of business and there would a list of students the two doctors were advising. A date and time to meet with the advisor. He told us when we met with our advisors, the advisors would give us all the information we needed about our majors and the courses we needed to take to complete our majors. We thanked the student.

The cafeteria was huge in the student union. We walked over to the gift shop and looked around. Rex and I got matching Darthmouth hoodies. We thought they'd feel good when the weather started changing. We both picked up a couple of Dartmouth banners to hang in our rooms. We then left. We would come back when we had more time. Rex and I saw the bookstore, but right now, we didn't know what books we needed. We both thought our advisors would let us know what books we needed. And maybe give us class schedules.

It was getting later and we walked back to North Park House. The admissions person greeted us and asked us if were getting familiar with the campus. We told him, a little at a time. That's good, I'm sure you're going to like it here. We thought we'd run our advisors by the admissions person and see if he could give us any more information.

He told me that my advisor was the department head of business and Rex's advisor was the assistant department head of business. He told us we had two of the best advisors. He told us we should meet with them as soon as possible. They would give us class schedules and a list of books we would need. We thanked the admissions person and Rex dropped off his hoodie and banner in his room and then we walked into my room. I closed the door behind Rex. Our floor still seemed pretty quiet. Rex thought I did a good job of organizing my room. He said my room looked newer than his, but the layout was about the same.

"What do you want to do Rex? Listen to music or watch tv?"

"Why don't you see if any football games are on."

I turned on the tv and checked the sports channels and found a college football game. "This okay?"

"Yeah let's watch this game."

We kicked off our shoes and sat down on the sofa. Actually it was a loveseat. I think a full sized sofa would have taken up too much room. I like the loveseat, it made us sit close to each other. I could feel Rexs body heat and I'm sure he felt mine.

"So what's our plans for tomorrow?"

"I think after breakfast, we should see if we can meet with our advisors. Get our booklist and get them purchased and look over class lists. Then go back to the student union, maybe have lunch their and look around some more in the gift shop."

"Sounds good to me Mason. I hope you don't mind me hanging out with you. But I feel after all our talking, we're more like brothers than friends."

"I feel the same way Rex. I'm glad we met. It seems like we've known each other all our lives."

As the game progressed they were moving closer and closer together. Soom Rex looked at Mason. "What, is something wrong?"

"No, nothings wrong. Everything is perfect. I'm nervous about what I'd like to do, but I'm unsure about you?"

"That depends on what you want to do. I'm sure I won't mind."

As soon as Mason said that, Rex leaned into Mason and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Sorry man, I shouldn't have done that."

"No Rex. I liked it. I've never had a close friend and now someone that's like a brother. Let's do it again."

This time they faced each other and put their hands behind the other person head when they kissed. Rexs lips were warm and comforting. Mason really liked kissing another man. And he was glad it was Rex.

They broke apart. They needed air. "Wow, that was quite a kiss, they said in unison."

It was approaching half time and they couldn't stop looking at each other. Mason thought the love seat made into a bed. Rex was wondering what Mason was doing. Mason asked Rex to get up for a just a minute. Mason found a handle under the loveseat and when he pulled it the loveseat pulled out into a double sized bed. Mason put the cushions back on the loveseat and they could use them as pillows. "How did you know this loveseat made into a bed?"

"I didn't. But the more I looked at it, the more it looked like it could be pulled out."

"Since it's half time, why don't we get more comfortable together on the loveseat bed?"

Rex liked that and was hoping something might happen between him and Mason. Mason was perfect, in every sense of the word. Mason got up and told Rex he was going to lock the door. When Mason got back they helped each other out of their shirts. Mason couldn't stop feeling Rexs muscles and noticed his nips getting hard. Then they took their socks off and undid their pants and slid them off tossed them on the floor. Now they were just in their boxers. Their boxers were tented but they wanted to make out. They couldn't get enough of each others bodies. Mason was hungry for Rex. This was his first friend and wanted to experiment and try things he had read about and watched on the internet. Rex couldn't get enough of Mason either. Mason was perfect. Just the kind of friend/brother he had always wanted to have. Mason and Rex were kissing and feeling each other all over. Getting acquainted with each other's bodies.

Soon half time finished and the second half was ready to begin. Mason and Rex were cuddled together with their arms around each other and started watching the game. Every once in awhile they would face each other and kiss.

The game ended and Rex told Mason, he should probably head back to his room. Get a good rest so they could spend the day exploring more of the campus and hopefully meet with their advisors. Mason didn't want Rex to leave, but he wasn't sure if he was ready for anything else yet. They had just met and everything seemed to be going so fast. He thought it would be good to hold back a bit and give their friendship more time.

Mason watched Rex get dressed. His muscles working as he put his clothes on. He could watch Rex all day and never get tired of looking at him. Rex was dressed, Mason stayed in his boxers and patting Rex on his butt when he left the room. Rex looked back with a smile on his face and leaned in and gave Mason a good night kiss. "See you in the morning."

Mason closed and locked his door. He moved the loveseat back into it's upright position. Arranged the cushions and then he went to his bedroom.

He laid on his bed and replayed everything they had done together today. And finally how it all came together when they watched the football game. He was wondering what tomorrow had in store for them. Hopefully, they could meet with their advisors. And then spend some more intimate time together. Have to wait and see. Rex might have mixed feeling about last night.

Rex was doing the same thing. He was laying on top of his bed and thinking about Mason. Where had Mason been all his life? He really liked Mason, and hoped things would keep progressing with them and Mason would want to continue being with him. Rex hadn't really done much with another guy. Just some kid stuff when he was young with a couple of friends. See who could shoot the farthest and who had the biggest cock and if they had any hair yet. But that was the extent of his relationship with another guys. He'd have to wait until tomorrow and see how Mason felt about what they had done.

It took Mason a long time to get to sleep. He had a lot on his mind, mainly Rex. He couldn't wait until tomorrow. Finally, he nodded off and woke up to his alarm going off at seven in the morning.

Mason got up with a big morning woody. His thick eight inches were sticking out the opening in his boxers and has balls were hanging out a leg opening. He wondered if Rex was up yet.

Mason took a hot shower and took his time. He felt his hardon, but he wasn't going to do anything about it. Maybe Rex would help him with his hardon later today. He dried off and decided to put some cargo shorts on and another nice pullover. He finished dressing and walked out to the living area. He saw his clothes from yesterday scattered around the room. He wasn't used to picking up after himself. Usually, someone else did that for him. He picked up his clothes and hung them up and the dirty clothes he put in the clothes hamper. Then he remembered he would have to do his own laundry. Hopefully, Rex could help him. He had no idea how to wash clothes.

Rex had woken up almost the same time as Mason. He also had a morning woody. His thick seven inches was sticking out of the opening in his boxers. Maybe Mason could take care of this big boy tonight. If they were still hanging out together. Maybe Mason had regrets about what happened last night. He sure didn't. He was hoping it would keep progressing. He couldn't keep Mason out of his mind. He was really getting infatuated with Mason. Rex took a long hot shower and dried off. He thought since the weather was warmer he would wear shorts and a nice button down shirt, with some dress sandals.

Rex was dressed and he wondered if he should knock on Masons door and see if he was ready for breakfast, but decided to wait a little longer.

Mason was wondering if Rex was up and ready for breakfast. He thought he'd wait a few minutes, before knocking on his door.

Finally Rex couldn't wait any longer. He opened his door and locked it. When he heard Mason's door opening and he walked out. They spotted each other and started laughing. "You ready for some breakfast?" Mason said, "the same thing."

They didn't see anyone else in the hall and they leaned in together and gave each other a good morning kiss. That kiss seemed to answer their questions about whether they still wanted to hang out together.

"Where should we go for breakfast?" asked Rex. "Let's go to the student union. The student union is close to the school of business."

They walked to the stairs and left North Park House. Mason had a map tucked into his back pocket, in case they needed it. They already knew how to get to the student union from their residence hall. The student union wasn't busy yet. You could smell breakfast. They walked up to the counter and ordered their breakfast. Showed their IDs and waited for someone to bring their breakfast. Finally a student walked over and told them they were supposed to wait at the counter for their breakfast. They walked back to the counter and a kitchen worker had their breakfasts arranged on a trays. They carried their trays back to a table and devoured their breakfast. It was okay, but nothing like they were used to. They ate everything and washed it down with orange juice.

Mason checked the time and said they should head over to the school of business and see what time and day their appointments were with their advisors. They put their trays away where they saw them stacked and walked over to the school of business. The building looked a little intimidating from the outside. But when they walked in it looked like a school. With offices and lecture halls. They had no idea where their advisors offices were located, so they started wandering around. Finally a custodian saw them going around in circles and asked if he could help them. They told him who they were looking for. He pointed to the second floor and said, "stay to the right and you'll see their offices. They are next to each other." We thanked the custodian and found the stairs to the second floor. We walked down the hallway checking he names above each door. Of course our advisors had to be the last offices. We checked the list posted outside each door. I found my name and I was scheduled to meet with my advisor today in about two hours. Rex told me it was the same with his advisor. We didn't know if we should wait or come back. Soon the office door opened to my advisor and a student walked out followed by an older distinguished looking gentleman. He looked at me and I told him my name, but I wasn't scheduled for another two hours. He told me to come in. The appointment before me was canceled. I shrugged my shoulders at Rex and followed my advisor into his office.

"Mason, it's a pleasure to meet you. I received a full report from Mrs. Sherman about you. So academically, I know a lot about you. I understand you want to do a double major program, in business and economics?"

"That's correct sir."

My advisor lowered his glasses down his nose. "I would prefer Dr. Wickerman and not sir. Sir makes me feel old," he said with a smile on his face. I don't know how familiar you are with our undergraduate program in business and economics, but they are both intensive programs and most students finish the double major in two, but usually closer to three years."

"I have a copy of the undergraduate programs. And looked closely at the courses offered, for both business and economics. Some of the classes I didn't understand, but I feel it's something I can do."

"I see Mason. I feel with your academic background, you can handle the double major. And I have already have you scheduled and programmed in our system for the double major. I have a printout here of your first semester courses with the room numbers. And a printout of the books you'll need. Once classes start, I usually like to meet with the students I'm advising once a week. See how your handling the work load and to keep me up to date. Also, if you have any concerns or questions."

"Thank you Dr. Wickerman. I'm anxious to get started. And I will try my best."

"I know you will Mason. I can see it in your eyes. You have desire and the ambition to do what is required. I only expect the best from you Mason. I have high hopes for you."

"Thank you sssiiiir, Dr. Wickerman. I won't let you down."

I picked up the printout off Mr. Wickermans desk. We shook hands and I left his office.

Dr. Wickerman was floored. It had been a long time since he had advised a student like Mason. He knew Mason would do an outstanding job. He just glowed when he mentioned his double major. And he exuded energy and the desire it took to do a good job. He expected great things from Mason.

Just after Mason entered his advisors office. Rex was able to meet with his advisor. His interview went pretty much like Masons. Rex was also a top achiever in high school. And came to Dartmouth with some very impressive achievements. His advisor also told Rex had him programmed in the system with a double major in business and economics. And expected great things from him.

Rex was overjoyed when he left Dr. Knotwells office. He had his printouts and now he needed to wait on Mason so they could purchase their books, eat some lunch and the try finding their class rooms on their printouts.

Rex didn't notice Mason right away. Mason was wandering around the hallway waiting on Rex. Soon they spotted each other and compared interviews. Both interviews had went about the same for both of them.

They left the school of business and headed over to the student union to pick up their books. They checked their printouts and they both had identical printouts. They gave their printouts to the young lady at the counter and told them she would be back with their books in a couple of minutes. Soon she came back with a young man. They both were carrying their books. They each had eight books. They showed their IDs and the books were theirs. They thought they better get books bags if they needed to lug all these books around every day. They carried their books over to the gift shop. And found matching bookbags with Darthmouth stenciled on the side. All the books fit perfectly in each bookbag. Again their student ID paid for the bookbags. They carried their books back to their rooms and stuck the printout in the front of one of the books.

They kept their printout courses and room numbers with them. They left, using the map to find a cafe for lunch.

During lunch at an outdoor cafe. We compared notes on our meeting with our advisors. Both Rex and I had similar experiences. We then talked some more about ourselves and finally we couldn't believe how much we had accomplished in a short time.

While eating lunch we compared our classes. Rex and I were in the same classes almost all week. The only day was Tuesday when a business class and an economics class were switched. I told Rex that I felt my advisor was holding back some information. Maybe not, but just a feeling I had. We finished our lunch and thought we'd check on a few of classrooms. In the school of business and then call it a day.

We walked over to the school of business and I noticed most of the classes started in the 100s and a few were in the 200s. The economics classes were numbered about the same. I told Rex I thought that maybe the 100 numbered classes were on the first floor and the 200 numbered classes were on the second floor. When we entered the school of business. We tried out my hunch and I was correct. We easily found some of our classrooms. The doors were locked. But I would have liked to be able to see inside some of the classrooms. We passed today on entering the school of economics which was next door. We could do that on another day.

Next week started orientation and I had a message from Beau when I returned to the North Park House. He said he would be my orientation guide, for two days. I called him and asked if Rex could join us and he said it wouldn't be a problem. I explained that Rex lived across the hall from me and we had become friends.

I told Rex about Beau as we walked up to our rooms. We thought we'd start reading and looking over our books. Rex came over to my room. I was thinking that if Rex wanted to spend time studying in my room with me. I should check with the residential staff about another desk being moved in. I didn't think they would mind, but I would have to wait and see what Rex's decision was.

Rex came over with his books. And I pulled out the loveseat into a bed. Used the cushions with the loveseat and grabbed a couple of pillows from my bedroom, so we could prop ourselves up while we skimmed over our books.

Our printouts didn't mention which books were for what class. So we would have to take all our books with us at least the first couple of days of classes.

I had locked the door and we were relaxed on the loveseat bed in just our boxers. Something now we felt comfortable doing. As I was looking through a business book, it seemed very intense and condensed. I wondered what that meant. I mentioned that to Rex and said he hadn't noticed, but with closer investigation, he told me now noticed that.

I thought I might mention that to Beau. He might know what was going on with our courses and books. We finished looking over our books and I turned the tv on and we watched another college football game.

This time we started kissing almost immediately. Rex was a good kisser. Or least I thought so. I had no experience, so I could only go by what I thought. We laid on our sides facing each other and held each other tight while we kissed. I could feel his hardon poking me. I wasn't hard yet, but I knew it wouldn't take long. I was wondering if I should reach down and feel his hardon. I thought I'd wait and see if touched me first.

Our kissing was getting more intense with a lot feeling and touching. Rex asked me, "do you mind if I take my boxers off?"

I told him no and that I'd do the same. On three we slid our boxers down and off. Rex's cock was semi hard. I was still soft, but seeing his beautiful cock and balls, I knew I would get hard fast. I saw Rex staring at me. "Do you like what you see?" He kind of stammered. I must have taken him out of his trance. "I definitely do." "How about you, you like what you see?" "I sure do."

We kissed more and our hands started working down each other's chests to our pubes and finally to our growing and swelling cocks. Rex put his hand around my shaft and I let out a groan. It felt so good. I followed Rexs lead and did the same to him. He let out low gasp. His cock felt so warm in my hand and it throbbed and twitched. Rex told me how good it felt. He smiled and said, "your hand feels better than mine." I smiled and told Rex the same thing.

We just laid there kissing and holding each other's cocks. No jerking or stroking just holding each other. Which seemed right at the moment. We let go of each other's cocks and laid on our sides together tightly. Holding each other close. Our cocks were pressed together, which was a fantastic sensation. Finally, we broke apart and kissed once more.

"That was fantastic Rex. You're becoming more than just a friend."

"Thanks Mason, you mean a lot to me. I hope we can keep becoming better and better friends. Maybe once classes start, we can study together, since we have the same classes."

"I'd like that Rex. Nobody else I'd rather study with. What should be do now?"

"How about if we just lay here naked together for a bit. Then get us get something to eat."

"You're always hungry?"

"What can I say, I'm a growing boy."

We watched a little more tv. Keeping our naked bodies tight to each other. This was the first time I'd ever been with another guy naked and I was really liking it. I liked how we took our time and didn't rush into anything. It seemed to make every time together special.

I heard Rex's stomach rumble. "I just heard your stomach Rex, I think we should get dressed and get some dinner."

"Alright."

We slowly moved off the loveseat bed and put our same clothes on. They weren't wrinkled and looked okay. I pushed the bed back and the loveseat was back in it's original position. I hated to get dressed. I loved being naked with Rex. But I knew he was hungry.

Rex said, "let's see if that cafe is open in the evening. I really liked the food and their menu."

We took a map with us. Everything looked different when it was dark outside.

Rex and I found the cafe and it was open. The walkways were well illuminated, so it made it easy to find the cafe. It was a nice balmy evening so we sat outside. At the same table where we had lunch. We had a different waiter this time. And he handed us dinner menus. I was thinking, I hadn't worked out since arriving at Dartmouth. I needed to find a gym and start working out regularly. I asked Rex if he worked out. He told me on a regular basis. I told him tomorrow we should find the gym on campus and start working out together. I told Rex I wanted to buy some new gym clothes. Maybe check out the gift store tomorrow in the student union. And then use our map to find the gym.

We enjoyed our dinner and Rex agreed with me about finding the gym and buying some new gym clothes.

When we got back to my room, Rex brought over a couple of books and we started reading together on the loveseat. It wasn't long before we were leaning against each other. It seemed every day we got a little closer and closer. Our friendship was growing and we were starting to do everything together.

We found the sports center on campus and they had a huge gym. But it was mainly for the teams to workout. That was kind of a bummer. We still went to the store and bought some new workout clothes. It had the Dartmouth seal and were in the school colors, green and white. They had a large selection of gym clothes. We also picked up another hoodie and a couple of sweatshirts and tshirts, a couple of coffee mugs, we thought we had enough. Probably more than enough. With our ID, we didn't have to pay for anything.

Tomorrow we were scheduled with Beau for our orientation. It would start a ten in the morning and according to the times, we should be don eby lunchtime.

We got a good nights rest in our own dorm rooms. We ate breakfast at a different cafe and sat outside. The weather was great. We wore shorts and our new Dartmouth tshirts, with some deck shoes. Rex and I ate a later breakfast and we were starved. We thought we'd head to the student union after breakfast. And look around until it was time for our orientation. We had our class schedules with us. Even though we knew were all our classrooms were located.

We noticed a lot more students now, that it was getting close to classes starting next week. The student union was bustling with students and I saw groups of students leaving with upperclassmen. Probably getting their orientation.

I saw Beau and we greeted each other and I introduced Beau to Rex. Beau told me had been looking for us and asked us, "you guys ready for your orientation?"

We told him, "sure."

When we left the student union, I told Beau we had a couple of questions for him. "He said shoot."

"Rex and I noticed when we were reading some of our books that they seemed quite intense and condensed."

Beau asked, "what color are your books."

We told him, "blue."

Beau got a smile on his face. "All blue books are for honors classes. I'm surprised being new college freshmen that you are enrolled in honors classes. You both must have had some outstanding admissions information. Congratulations."

"We had no idea. Now my other question is. Both Rex and I played sports in high school and are used to working out. We found the sports center yesterday, but it seems the gym there is for the teams."

"What dorm are you in?"

We told him, "North Park House."

"Are you kidding me. That's another surprise. North Park House is for graduate students. I've never heard of undergraduates living there. But that explains about your blue books. You must have mentioned you wanted to get your masters degree when you finished your undergraduate work."

"We told him we did."

"Now as far as gym for you guys to use. North Park House has a small gym in the basement. I don't know if you've checked out the House?"

We told him we took a quick tour of the whole house, but didn't find a gym.

"The gym is tucked back behind the laundry area. There's a small hallway with a door to the right. That is where the gym is located."

We thanked Beau and told him we would check it out later. "Let's get started."

We did a lot of walking, which was also good exercise. Beau showed us the different areas of the campus. Our North Park House was located on the the North side and kind of set back. Which made it quiet and a good place for graduate students to study. We walked by some of the other schools and ended back at the school of business. "Do you have your class schedules?"

We handed him our schedules. "You know where your advisors are located?" We told we did and had already met with them once. "How about your classes?"

"We found a few of them. But never checked out the school of economics.

Let's go next door to the school of economics and we can find your classrooms. We walked in and it looked like a copy of the school of business. It had the same kind of layout. Beau had told us we were correct about 100 level clases on the ground floor and 200 level classes on the second floor and graduate classes on the third floor. Beau tried the door on one of classrooms in the school of economics. The door opened and the classroom was small. It looked like it could hold maybe ten students at the most. Beau noticed the surprised look on our faces. "Remember guys, you're taking honors classes. Usually honors classes are very small, with about ten students being the max. The teachers can spend more time with the students and it tends to get to be like a family. Everyone knowing each other. I liked the sound of the that.

We left the school of economics and Beau asked us if we had any other questions. We told him no, and thanked him for the information and showing us the other areas of the campus. We shook hands and Beau walked back to the student union and we walked over to North Park House.

Rex and I were talking about our orientation. We thought we'd check on the gym in the basement. We also talked about being in honors classes. And we both agreed we needed to talk to our advisors about that. Why we weren't informed at our first meeting. Rex and I thought we'd go back to the school of business and see if our advisors had posted a schedule when we would be meeting with them next.

When we arrived back at North Park House. The receptionist called us over. He told us we were on a schedule for our rooms to be cleaned and laundry done. That brought a smile to my face. I had never done either of those two chores. He asked us what our hours for classes were. We told him we had our first class at eight in the morning and we finished by three in the afternoon. He told us that was perfect. The cleaning person worked Tuesdays and Thursdays and laundry was done on Wednesday. He told us all we had to do was have our laundry ready in a hamper, pillowcase, or a plastic container by the door on Wednesdays. He said inside the room, by the door. The cleaning people were a professional team that the college hired and they were respectful of our private things and everything would be left the way we had it. We thanked the receptionist and left for our rooms.

Rex came over after he had showered and changed clothes. I had done the same. We sat down on the loveseat and we kissed for awhile. Rubbing each other's chests, feeling our nips get hard. That wasn't the only thing that was hard. We broke apart and started talking. I told Rex I wasn't upset, but surprised that I was enrolled in honors classes, without being told ahead of time. Rex told me he had been thinking about that too, and he wanted to ask his advisor about that. We kissed and made out some more and thought we should head out for dinner.

We checked the map together before we left my room. And found a restaurant we hadn't been to. It was easy to find. The walkways were busy with students. And we had to wait a few minutes to be seated at the restaurant. This was a Mexican restaurant, we both liked Mexican food. Mariachi music was playing and set a great atmosphere for the restaurant. Soon a host escorted to a table on the side by a window. He told us our waiter with be with us soon. The restaurant was busy. It was must be a popular restaurant. Soon a waiter dropped off a sombrero turned upside down and was used a serving dish, with guacamole in the center and tortilla chips scattered around the dip. The dip was spicy, but with the chips it didn't seem spicy. Soon a waiter came and handed us menus. The campus didn't serve alcoholic beverages and I wasn't a drinker. We both ordered black coffee, while we looked over the menu. I decided on a fajita mix of beef and chicken. Rex ordered a chicken quesadilla. Our order came quick and the food was delicious. The spicy sauces were in the center of our table. I tried the red sauce which didn't seem too spicy. Rex tried the green sauce and said it felt like his mouth was on fire. He guzzled down his glass of water, but he was red around his mouth. We finished our dinner and showed our IDs and left for the school of business.

Now with classes starting soon, most of the schools, restaurants and student union stayed open later.

We walked up the stairs to the second floor and to the end of the hallway where our advisors were located. There were printouts by the door. Both Rex and I would meet with our advisors on Tuesday of next week. Just as we finished class for lunch. That would be perfect and we could find out about being enrolled in honors classes.

We arrived back to North Park House and Rex came over to my room and we hung out on the loveseat. I had it pulled out into a bed with the tv going. We slowly stripped each other out of our clothes and laid together naked watching tv. Everytime there was a commercial we'd kiss and make out. And end up holding each other's hardons. We hadn't done anything else and I think we were both nervous and unsure how to proceed. Since we were both like children with no experience, we didn't want to upset the other person and do something they didn't want to do. For me, I was glad we were going slow. It seemed more special to me than rushing into things, whatever those things were.

Over the weekend, we read the first chapters in the other books we had looked at. I had a good memory and could remember everything I read. I saw Rex taking a few notes so he wouldn't forget facts. I thought I'd help him out later when classes started and we started studying together. Rex had had another desk moved into his room for me, like I had done for Rex. We agreed, we'd alternate weeks studying in each other's rooms.

Here it was Monday morning and our first day of classes. I was glad Rex and I would be together all day in our classes. We had three business classes in the morning and four economics classes in the afternoon. The first day went smoothly. Classes were small like Beau had told us. Most classes were eight students and couple classes had ten students. Most of the teachers followed the same routine. They introduced themselves and students introduced themselves. We were given a syllabus of course work and requirments. It seemed pretty straight forward. Our teachers explained, since we were in honors classes. The requirements are different. A lot of our course work would be investigating, writing reports and giving presentations. Also, guest speakers would be giving lectures, where we could ask questions. Our textbooks were for reference. They're weren't any written tests. We were graded on our abilities and what we were learning. It seemed like a good learning technique. The first day went fast without really doing much in each class. Other than receiving our syllabuses.

Rex and and I reviewed our syllabuses, which seemed rather sketchy and vague. I thought I might show my advisor one of the syllabuses and get his comments. Our first major assignment was an investigative report. Our computers would come in handy for the research information. And then we would present our findings to the class.

Rex and I had asked our teach about being enrolled in honors courses. He told the class since we had taken AP courses in high school, that wiped out our electives requirements and we could jump right into honors classes.

Tuesday we met with our advisors. My first question was about being enrolled in honors classes, without any previous knowledge. My advisor got a smile on his face and told me it was done that way on purpose. They didn't want students getting all nervous and anxious and not be able to achieve. They thought by waiting, it would be a pleasant surprise. It was a surprise all right. But how pleasant I wasn't so sure. He told us with our academic accomplishments, it was logical thing to do. And since we had taken AP couress in high school our electives were finished. He said, they only expected the best from mus. I then asked him about being housed in North Park House. Again, he said it was the logical solution, since we planned on getting our masters degrees. We would keep the same rooms for the four years. Two years for undergraduate degree and two years for my masters degree. North Park House is quiet, and mostly graduate students reside there. So it makes a great environment for studying.

I left my advisors office, just as Rex was leaving his. We compared notes again. And Rex was told the same thing as me. We walked back to North Park House and crashed in my room. We relaxed on the loveseat and started reviewing our syllabuses. We had the same teacher for all of our business classes and the same teacher for our economics classes. I was wondering why they had put different room numbers for each class. Then I realized that probably a different teacher was assigned that room on a certain day of the week. We thought that made sense. I noticed Rex was nervous and I asked him what was wrong. He told me this was going to be a big adjustment for him. He was used to structured classes in high school. And now he would be doing all the work on his own. I told him no he wouldn't. We would be doing our course work together. And if we had problems, we were there to help each other. He felt better about that and gave me a long deep passionate kiss.

My assumption was correct. And each day of the week we met in a different classroom. There were eight of in the class. Two girls, which were really smart. Almost scary smart. Everyone was friendly and we all got along well. The teacher took a personal interest in each one of us and we could stop by his office any time we had questions or just wanted to talk, in the school of business. Our school of economics worked almost the same way.

Rex was studying and working this week in my room with me. We had decided not to work in just our boxers. We thought it would be too much of a distraction and we wouldn't be able to concentrate on our course work.

Rex and I were working on our first major assignment in business. We needed to research and give a presentation on our findings. I noticed Rex was struggling and having a hard time. Rex, "what's the matter. You haven't done anything this last hour."

"This assignment is being difficult for me. I can't concentrate and I'm not even sure what I'm doing."

"Let me explain the assignment. Or at least the way I see it and see if this helps you."

I looked directly at Rex. "Think about it this way. Your dad gave you a knew major customer that he wants you to check out and then present your findings back to him and the board of directors. That's the way I'm approaching this assignment."

"I didn't see it that way. I just saw it as another class assignment. That makes sense and it's already giving me ideas. Thanks Mason." He leaned over and we kissed then got back to work on this presentation.

Our economics classes were structured and what we were used to from high school. The teacher would present problems that we needed to work out. And then hand our results back in. Again, a couple of our business class members were in our economics classes. Most of the students were economics majors without business attached. The teacher was more cut and dry. But according to the syllabus. Our course work would change in the second semester.

Everything was going well for Rex and me. Rex got over that hurdle on his presentation. Everyone in our class aced their presentations. I guess that was why we were in honors class. Our teacher congratulated us on a job well done. Our next major assignment was being board members and discussing prospective new business. And how we would handle a new client.

Rex and I were really enjoying our business classes and learning a lot of practicle information. Economics was still staying pretty cut and dry.

We were just over half way through our first semester. Time goes by fast when your having fun. I still felt Rex was struggling a little. He was doing fine in the business clases, but he was still having hard time grasping what the teacher wanted. I would explain my approach and that always seemed to help.

It was Friday night and we had finished everything we needed to do to be ready for classes Monday. I liked to stay a little ahead on work, so I didn't have to make a last minute rush to get something done. If I felt rushed, I didn't do my best and work tended to be sloppy. Rex liked that idea and he did the same.

It was after ten at night and we hadn't eaten dinner. "Should we go somewhere for a bite to eat?"

"Yeah. I'm hungry. Let's go to the student union and grab something to eat there."

We wore what we had on. Shorts and a Dartmouth sweatsweat. We put on sandals and walked over to the student union. It looked nice at night with all the lights on. The student union was busy with students mingling around. Everything was open, including the book store and gift shop. The cafeteria looked busy. Many students must have be doing the same as Rex and me. Getting a bite to eat after studying.

We got in the short line and then told a young man what we wanted. They had a large sign behind the counter of everything they offered. We waited for our tray. We remembered that from our first time eating here. We found a place to sit and eat. The food wasn't too bad. It was filling. We finished eating and put our tray away and walked back to North Park House. I looked over at Rex and he knew I wanted to ask him something. "What?"

"I sort of hemmed and hawed around." I felt uncomforable. I had never been in this position before and wasn't sure how to ask.

"What's on your mind Mason. You know you can ask or tell me anything."

"Would you spend the night with me?"

I didn't recognize the look on Rex's face. I don't know if it was shock, surprise or a combination of both.

Finally he looked over at me with a smile on his face. "I'm glad you asked first Mason. I wasn't sure how to approach the subject. Of course, I'd like to spend the night with you. Something you should know right away. I always sleep naked."

I said, "I hope so. So do I."

At first I thought Rex was going to give me a kiss, but he pulled back with so many students around. Then he was going to hold my hand and pulled back to.

I was happy and nervous that he had agreed.

As we got close to our residence hall, we saw flashing lights. Campus police were all over the place, along with city police. We were wondering what was going on. We walked up to the entrance and were stopped by police. "Sorry men, you can't go in yet. The whole house is under investigation. Once they finish, we'll give you the all clear to enter."

We walked over to a group of students we knew from the house. "What's going on?"

They found drugs in a double room. I thought I heard one of the police say they were selling drugs."

I was thinking. How stupid. You're at one of the best colleges in the United States and you ruin your life and education with drugs.

Finally we saw a couple of students being taken out of the house in handcuffs and put into a couple of patrol cars. Another officer came out of the house. He must have been in charge, and told us all we could go into the house now.

When we entered, the person working the reception desk, told us the police had to check every room. So don't be surprised if some things are out of place.

We into Rex's room first and a few drawers were open. But everything else was in place. We then walked into my room. And it looked like a tornado had went through. Items were scattered all over the place. It took Rex and me over an hour to get my room organized. "A cold beer or a chilled glass of wine would taste good right about now."

Rex shook his head in agreement. "You still want to spend the night?"

"You bet. A few policemen couldn't keep me away."

We stripped down to our boxers and watched a little tv. We were wound up with the police in our house. I made sure the door was locked. We watched the late news and then we headed to my bedroom. We picked up our clothes and put them on the loveseat.

We walked arm in arm to my bedroom. We were both a little nervous and anxious. I had no idea what would happen once we were in bed together. I was hoping for some great things. But I didn't know. I saw Rex's cock and balls flopping back and forth as we walked to the bed. Once we were both on the side of the bed we removed our boxers and laid down together on top of the covers. I turned off the bedroom light and turned on the side table light. Which gave off a low glow. Perfect. We looked at each other and I had never seen Rex look the way he did. His eyes looked like they were full of love.

We started romping around on the bed. Laying facing each and holding our bodies tight together. Soon we started rolling around on the bed. First me on top of Rex and then Rex on top of me. The sexual electricity was high. Finally, Rex ended up on top of me. He stretched out with my arms above my head and he started kissing. My lips first and then moved to my ears and neck. I had my eyes closed and couldn't believe how good it felt. I had heard the moaning and groaning on the internet, but experiencing it for real, was the best. He then kissed and licked my pecs and hard nips and nibbled on them. I could feel my cock getting rock hard. The hardest it had ever felt. Then he kept working his way down, and was kissing around my navel making me squirm. That was a ticklish area. Over my rippled abs and then I felt his nose in my pubes. Was he going to do what I thought he was. He did, oh my god. Rex was licking and kissing around the base of my hard cock. Then started kissing and licking the sides of my shaft working up to the head. I could feel precum oozing out and I felt Rex's tongue lick it off. He then tried to suck in my big cock. He started gagging and pulled off. Rex couldn't believe how good Mason smelled. The strong musky manly scent. Rex tried a second time. He had read about sucking cock and how to deep throat. He remembered you had to relax your throat and breathe through your nose. Rex tried that and it worked. He felt Mason's big cock sliding into his throat. Damn Mason was big, but he was determined to take it all. Mason was moaning and pulling on the sheets, it felt so good. Rex started bobbing up and down on Masons cock taking all thick eight inches. Mason could feel a big orgasm building. He knew this was going to be a big load. He told Rex he was getting close and to pull off. That just encouraged Rex to go faster and faster. Soon Mason was at the point of no return and blasted out jet after jet of hot cum bathing Rex's throat. Mason saw Rex swallow a couple of times and then slowly pulled off Masons cock. He laid back on the bed. Mason was still jerking and trembling after his intense orgasm. Finally Mason looked over at Rex. "That was fantastic. I've never felt anyting like that in my life. It was something special to wait for."

Rex leaned over and they kissed passionately. "Now it's my turn Rex. I'm a novice at this, and I hope I can do half as good as you did."

"Don't worry about it. I know anything you do will be perfect and the best I've ever experienced." Like I had so much experience. The only experience I had was my right hand and the internet.

Mason got on top of Rex and started kissing him like Rex had done. Mason took his time and was enjoying Rex's sexy hot body. Rex tasted wonderful and his smell was intoxicating. Soon Mason was at Rex's big hard cock. It looked like a steel pipe, it was so hard. As soon as Mason started licking and kissing the shaft, Rex's cock was twitching and jerking and throbbing. Mason worked his way up to the head and licked off Rex's precum. It didn't taste bad. Just different. Mason had a hard time deep throating Rex's cock. He had never done it before and had no experience. Rex told Mason what he needed to do. Mason followed Rex's instructions and it still took a couple of tries before he could deep throat Rex's cock. Finally he managed and Rex thought he had died and gone to heaven. He couldn't believe how good it felt. Soon like Mason, he felt his orgasm building and told Mason he was going to cum. Mason went faster and faster on Rex's cock. He felt his cock stiffen throb and felt jet after jet of hot cum hitting his throat. Mason had to swallow to take the big load. Rex's cum was kind of tart and salty, but not unpleasant. Soon Rex finished cumming and Mason slowly pulled of Rex's cock. They hugged and kissed again. It was just after eleven. They had been going at it for over an hour.

"Let's take a shower and then go to sleep."

Rex couldn't believe everthing that had happened. He never thought he'd find someone like Mason. All he could say was how perfect Mason was.

Mason was thinking about what they had done. And like Rex, he thought he was perfect. And never thought he'd find someone like Rex.

They climbed out of bed. Still semi hard and walked into the shower. Mason got the water going. And started washing Rex. Rex put his hands on the shower wall and let Mason take over. His hands felt so good on his body. He lathered Rex all over. Washing his cock and balls carefully. He couldn't help but stroke Rex a few times and noticed his cock sprang right back to attention. Rex rinsed himself off and then he lathered Mason's hot muscular body. He couldn't get enough of Mason's body. Like Mason, Rex paid special attention to Mason's cock and balls and gave them a good cleaning. He stroked Mason a few times and noticed Mason's cock got rock hard almost immediately. They were both horny again for each other. After they had rinsed off they faced each other and kissed under the water and Mason fisted their cocks together. Soon they were humping back and forth and shot out another sizeable load. Hitting each other's stomachs. They rinsed the cum off and turned the water off.

They stepped out of the shower and towel dried each other. And walked back to the bed. They crawled into bed and laid on their sides hugging and kissing each other and that was how they went to sleep.

After their night of getting better acquainted with each other's bodies, and a night of love making. Even though they didn't realize it, at their young age, and lack of experience. They were getting closer and closer.

Over the next few days and weeks they kept up their routine of study one week in Rex's room and then the next week in Mason's room. They kept their clothes on when they studied. The first semester was coming to end soon. They couldn't believe how fast time was going. They were hoping when second semester started, there would be somes changes in their economics class. So far it had felt they were still in high school.

The first semester came to end with both young men being top achievers in both their business and economics class. Their economics teacher told them they would be doing a lot of in depth research and presenting their findings to the class. That was more what Mason and Rex were hoping for. A more practicle approach.

The advisors for Mason and Rex were pleased with their first semester results. They told both young men that they were on the right track and to keep up the hard work.

Mason and Rex didn't consider their classwork hard. They enjoyed what they were studying and it didn't seem difficult or a lot of work.

So far Mason and Rex hadn't used the "L" word when they were intimate or any words of endearment. But they were only 19 years old without any previous experience. Everything they had done and were doing was by instinct. From what they had read and watched on the internet.

Their intimate times happened on the weekends after a full week of studying and preparing for their classes. They wanted to give a 100% to their classes and then they could enjoy each other Friday night after they finished their course work through the weekend.

They took turns staying at each other's rooms on the weekend. They continued their exploration of each other's bodies and were starting to find out what the person liked the best and what they disliked. They had explored rimming, which they both found quite pleasurable. But hadn't done any fucking yet. They had tried a sixty nine and enjoyed that. Especially when they both came at the same time. And did a sixty nine the most. Mutual jerking and sucking was fun too.

They found the gym in the basement. It was small, but sufficient for them. Usually, they were the only ones using the gym. They wore their new college gym clothes and were hot and tired once they finished a good workout.

They always took a hot shower after they worked out and started reading about massages. They bought some massage oil at the store in the student union to some raised eyebrows. But they didn't pay any attention. Mason was better at giving a massage than Rex. Rex was trying to remember everything that Mason did, and do the same to Mason. Rex was getting better, but it was taking time. They alway ended their massages in a sixty nine, bringing each other to mind blowing orgasms.

Sometimes just looking at each other, they would get hard. They had to control themselves in their classes and concentrate on what the teacher was saying and not looking at each other's hot bodies.

Second semester was moving along nicely. Both young men were doing what their advisors and admissions person knew they would do. They were maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA as well as most of the other students. But their teachers knew that they really enjoyed the courses and it was like it was natural for them. Mason and Rex didn't find the coursework that demanding or difficult. They enjoyed what they were doing. And were like sponges absorbing as much information as they could.

Second semester was already in full swing and Rex and Mason were making plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas break. They decided that Mason would go to Rex's for Thanksgiving and Rex would to Mason's for Christmas. Since Rex's parents were going on vacation during Christmas. They hadn't called their parents yet. They were deciding on how to approach the subject. They thought they would say they were bringing a school friend. Both Mason and Rex knew each other's families, at least informally. Mason knew Rex's family by his last name, "Granger." He had heard his father talking many times about Rex's father and Rex knew the Bates name. Like probably half of the United States did. They still had time before they needed to call their parents. Since they were only into the second week of second semester.

Finally, they couldn't put off calling any longer. They decided to call in the privacy of their own rooms. In case any problems arose. They could deal with that later. Mason knew he wouldn't have a problem, having his own wing of the house. However, Christmas was a big deal at his house and it was one of the few times they all ate Christmas dinner together. Then there was the problem of what to buy Rex for Christmas.

Rex was having the same problem. They came from wealthy families and had pretty much everything they needed. Rex decided on friendship rings for Mason and him.

Mason finally came up with an idea. He would pay for them to go on vacation during Easter/Spring break. His personal staff could easily take care of that for him. It was just a matter of deciding where to go. Mason picked up his cell phone and called the house. "Hello Master Bates, it's nice to hear from you."

"Thanks Albert, nice to hear your voice too. I calling for a special reason. While I'm on Christmas break from college, I'm bringing a school friend. I would like to make sure a guest bedroom is ready in my suite. Also, if you can give a heads up to my parents. I tried reaching them, but no answer as usual."

"Of course Master Bates. Consider it done. Don't worry about anything. I'll take care of your requests."

"Thanks Albert. I knew I could count on you."

The Granger mansion wasn't anything like the Bates mansion. It was much smaller, but still impressive. Rex called his private valet and told him about bringing a school friend for Thanksgiving, and to have a guest bedroom in his suite ready. And if he would tell his parents. Like Mason, he couldn't get an answer when he called his mother and father.

Rex walked back to Mason's room and they told each other everything was ready for Thanksgving and Christmas. They were glad to have that out of the way.

The rest of semester seemed to rush by and soon winter break was approaching. Most students were anxious to have a break after heavy studying.

Mason was looking forward to meeting Rex's parents. He hoped everything went well. And it would give Mason a chance to meet Rex's dad. He had heard a lot about him, when he heard his dad talking about him.

Rex was looking forward to seeing the Bates mansion. He had only seen glimpses of it on tv. Also, looking forward to meeting Mason's dad. He had heard a lot about him from his father. Some things good and some things not so good. But he could make his own judgement.

We gave our final presentations in business class, incorporating many of the new concepts we had learned. Economics was a written thesis for the final. Which seemed kind of strange, but we managed to get it finished and turned in. We just needed to wait on our final grades. The teacher's said they would have first year grades posted in a couple of days.

Rex and I had agreed we would both drive. That way if there was any problems, we had our own vehicle with us.

We were all packed and ready to leave on winter break and head to Rex's house for Thanksgiving. Rex and I were waiting on our final grades. There was a lot of commotion in the hallway and I stuck my head out to find out what was going on. I asked one of the students running down our hallway. "The teachers have posted the final grades."

I told Rex and we hurried over to the school of business and to our teachers office. There was a printout posted next to his door. We eagerly found our names on the list. I found my name first, Mason Bates 4.0 for the year. Rex found his name, Rex Granger 4.0 for the year. We almost kissed, but we held back with all the students huddled around. We then walked or ran over to the school of economics. And the printout was posted by our teacher's office. Rex found his name first this time, Rex Granger 4.0 for the year. I found my name way down on the list. Mason Bates, 4.0 for the year. We were happy and our all hard work had paid off.

We walked back to North Park House and the receptionist told us he had a couple letters for us. He handed us each our letters. Actually, we each received three letters in envelopes. We looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders and hurried up to my room. We sat on the loveseat and opened the first envelope pulled out the letter. It was from our advisors. They congratulated us on a outstanding first year at Dartmouth and looked forward to being our advisors in our second year. Our next envelope was from a Mrs. Long. The envelope said undergraduate dean. The letter was similiar to the letter's from our advisors. She congratulated us on our achievements in our first year at Dartmouth. She also included her email address and phone number if we wanted to talk to her. And our last envelope was from Mrs. Sherman. She congratulated us on an excellent first year at Dartmouth. She said she knew we would be outstanding students and she had never been wrong. And she also mentioned that we were welcome to visit her office anytime.

"That was surprising. I think we should keep these letters. They may be important in the future." Rex agreed with me. and put the letters into our study desks.

"Well Mason, are you ready to leave? We're all packed and ready to go."

"Yeah. I'm ready I like Dartmouth, but I'm ready to see something different."

We checked our rooms one last time and we had everything we needed. We locked our doors and walked out to the covered parking area. Since we were going to Rex's for Thanksgiving. I followed him. We left the college around one, just after lunch. It would take about three hours to get to Rex's house. Rex had called his personal valet and told Rex he would have everything ready when they arrived.

I noticed Rex drove a Navigator. It looked like it was loaded with all the extras. But it looked used. I had a thought in the back of my head and if things turned out well when we visited our families, I would put my plan into action.

Traffic was pretty heavy the first hour, but eased up later on. We stopped at a couple of rest stops. Mainly to stretch our legs and refill our travel mugs with coffee. Not the best coffee at the rest stops, but it would have to do.

Soon Rex phoned me and told me we would take the next exit ramp. We had our cell phones connected in our cars and we both used voice recognition to call. That way we wouldn't have to stop to talk to each other and could keep on driving.

I followed Rex and we turned off on the exit ramp. Then at the stop sign we made a sharp left. He told me to follow close as there were a few more turns to make. Soon we went through a gate with a security guard and followed a long lane up to the Granger mansion. We both parked in front. The mansion was impressive. but like a scaled down version of mine. It had two floors in the neo classic style like mine. Servants were ready to greet us. Rex introduced me to the staff that was outside and his personal valet. The valet told us to go inside and they would take care of our personal belongings and suitcases.

We walked up the marble steps to the entrance. The head butler opened the doors for us and greeted Rex and then me. He told Rex his parents were in the back sunroom. Rex told me to follow him. We walked down a long hallway and then turned to the right. Through another hallway and out to the sunroom which faced the pool and beautifully landscaped gardens and a large pool. When we entered the sunroom, Rex's parents stood up and we shook hands and Rex introduced me to his parents. They seemed friendly and not surprised that Rex had invited a friend for Thanksgiving.

We had a pleasant conversation and Rex updated his dad on his first year at Dartmouth. His dad seemed pleased and his mother smiled. Then his parents shifted gears and started questioning me. I told them how Rex and I met and that we roomed across the hall from each other. Rex's father seemed more interested that I was a Bates. He told me how my father has been putting pressure on him to consolidate businesses. But he wasn't sure if he wanted to make that move. I didn't make any suggestions. I just told him that was something he and my father would have to work out. He told me I talked like a politician and not a business and economics major. I told him it wasn't my place to speak for my father. Rex had told his parents, with Masons urging, to also get a double major in business and economics. Rex's dad seemed pleased with that.

Then Rex's father said, "your mother and I have an important cocktail party to attend at the country club. We'll be back a little later. Rex, why don't you show Mason around and get yourselves unpacked and settled in."

Rex told his parents to enjoy their cocktail party.

We all got up and left in different directions. I told Rex his parents seemed very friendly. He told me, "only because your last name is Bates."

Rex showed me around the mansion. Just like my first impression, it was a scaled down version of my house. We went outside first and they had a beautiful reflecting pool, the grounds were well manicured and attended. They had a tennis court. But no basketball court or baseball field, like I had. The pool was a nice size and the water was a beautiful blue color, it looked like a picture of the Caribbean Sea. With the crystal clear blue water. I didn't see a golf course. We have an eighteen hole golf course on our property, that my dad takes advantage of. We then went inside and Rex showed me the ground floor. With a large gourmet kitchen. Two large kitchen islands with a breakfast nook. The formal dining room. A large living room, tastefully decorated with an adjoining outside patio. We went down a hallway that had the servants quarters, where they lived and dined. Upstairs was a large open banquet room with hallways on both sides. The left hallway was his parents personal rooms and on the right wss Rex's personal room. We went into the first large door. That opened into a large sitting area with a big flat screen tv. He had his own office, which he used for studying when he was in high school. Next down the hall was the master bedroom. A niced sized room. The next door to the left was a large linen closest with bedding and related items. Next door on the left was another master bedroom. The the two doors on the right were two smaller guest bedroom. I saw my suitcases in the second master bedroom. But I didn't see Rexs. He told his valet had put his things away. I told Rex he could put my things away too. Rex pressed a button I hadn't notice before and told his valet to put my things away.

We then went downstairs and then down another flight of stairs which took us to the basement. The basement was light another floor in the mansion. It was nicely furnished. I saw the laundry area. And Rex told me to follow him. We went through a door to a large gym. This was perfect for Rex and me. It had a large changing room with lockers and also a shower room. The exercise equipment looked new and up to date.

Rex told me we could stay fit while we were here. I told him this would take the place of some of our exercise, giving him a wink. He walked over and we kissed and hugged.

"How about if we go back to my room and freshen up and then have some dinner. I'm sure my parents wouldn't be back till later and they will eat at the country club."

I noticed a smiliar pattern here at Rex's house. My parents were the same way and never around. They always had excuses why they couldn't be there for me. I see the same thing here in Rex's house. Too bad, I think we're fortunate we turned out as well as we have.

We showered together in Rex's large walkin shower. Washing each other and getting erections. We hadn't had any sex for a few days and I was really horny. I knew Rex was too. Once we finished washing each other we were rock hard. We stood side by side and jerked each other off. We wanted to watch out cum shoot out. And boy did we shoot. We could hear our cum hitting the opposite shower wall and then watched it run down the wall and finally into the floor drain. We rinsed off one more time and made sure all the traces of cum was gone. We towel dried each other and I went to the other master bedroom to get changed. Rex's valet had laid out clothes for me on the bed. That was a pleasant surprise. We both wore shorts and a pull over shirt and dress sandals.

We ate in a smaller dining room, that was used for the family. Dinner was excellent. They had their own chef. I had a small piece of homemade apple pie for desert with a cup of coffee. Now this was coffee, not that crap they sold at the rest stops. "What should we do now?"

"I never bought your parents anything for Christmas. I thought I'd ask you what they would like. "Well, I already ordered traveling clothes to be tailor made and delivered the day before Thanksgiving. Why don't we go downtown and buy some perfume for my mom and cologne for my dad. I know what they both like. That would be a perfect Christmas present from you."

A black Mercedes limousine pulled up in front of the house. Rex said, "I thought we'd go to the mall in style." I just smiled.

The chaffeur opened the back doors for us and we got in. Rex told the chaffeur, "The Mall."

And we were on our way to the mall. It didn't take us long to get there. The mall had three floors and every kind of store you could think of. Rex knew right where to go and soon we were, or I was buying perfume for his mom and cologne for his dad. I had both gift wrapped in something Christmassy. "That's the perfect gift from you. They'll love the perfume and cologne."

We went back to the house and then went downstairs and worked out for about an hour. We were hot and sweaty when we finished and showered in Rex's walkin shower again. This time when we finished we laid on Rex's bed and got into a sixty nine. And easily deep throated each other. We had been getting a lot of practice. We both came at the same time and swallowed each other's loads. We laid back panting on the bed and regaining our breathing. "That was fun. Let's walk down to the pool and have a cold beer."

I wasn't much for drinking alcoholic beverages, but an occasional beer was okay. As we walked outside we passed a maid and Rex told her to bring us a couple of cold beers. We'd be at the pool. "Yes sir." And she was gone.

The weather was staying unseasonable warm for this time of the year. But we knew it could change quick.

We took a seat in the shade. It was another warm day, but nice. Soon I started daydreaming about Rex and me. Rex was talking to me and I didn't even hear finally. "Hello, Earth to Mason, Earth to Mason."

"Huh, what?"

"You looked like you were lost in space."

"No. Sorry, I was thinking about us."

"Oh, oh, I hope it was good?"

"No nothing like that. I was thinking. We were destined to be together."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, look at it like this Rex. We arrive at the college on the same day and time. We have rooms across from each other. We help each other get moved in. We are both twenty years old now. We are both only young men. We come from wealthy families. Our parents practically deserted us and we were raised by the servants. We are both studying the same double major. We both played football in high school. We both had football and academic scholarships to the college of our choice, all expenses paid. Our father's are both successful businessmen and we can work in their businesses when we graduate. Our mother's are socialites and organize charity events and host cocktail parties. Do I need to say any more?"

"No, I think that pretty well covers it. I never thought about it. All I know is that your the best friend anybody could ever want." Just then we heard the maid and she set our chilled beer steins on the table.

"That's ditto on that Rex. Your the best friend I could want. Actually, your my first best friend and I hope my only best friend. I don't need anybody else."

We looked around and leaned in together and kissed. "A beer kiss isn't too bad."

The beer tasted good. It had been a long time since I drank a beer. In fact, I couldn't remember the last time.

It was nice relaxing and hanging out with Rex. "What will happen tomorrow Rex, on Thanksgiving?"

"We'll have a big dinner in the formal dining room. Mom, will have us all tell what we are thankful for. Then we will relax for a little while in the living room and exchange gifts. Since they will be gone for Christmas on vacation. Then we'll talk for a bit and then mom and dad will head off to the their room. Leaving us to do what we want.

We finished our beer and headed back to Rex's room. His parents still hadn't returned. He told me this happens all the time. They promise a time they will return, but it never happens.

Rex locked his main door and we got naked on his bed and watched tv. Some good football was on and it would give us a chance to analyze the game. Once the game finished we were tired and I stayed in Rex's room for the night. He told me that wouldn't be a problem. His personal valet was very tight lipped.

We had a long session of making out and got so tired we fell asleep in each other's arms and that was the way we woke up. Only our morning woodies were poking us. We crawled out of bed and took a shower in Rex's bathroom. Washed each other and jerked each other off. We towel dried each other and I told Rex I was going back to the second master bedroom to get dressed for Thanksgiving dinner. He told me something dressy, sporty would be fine. I thought I'd get dressed, "preppy," like Reeves told me. Besides I wanted to mess up the bed and turn the water on in he shower, so it looked like I had stayed in the second master bedroom. I left some of my clothes laying around. So it looked more lived in. I found something sporty and dressy, at least I thought so. And walked back into Rex's bedroom. He was just finishing dressing. We looked similar. "Good choice of clothes Mason."

We checked each other out in front of the floor length mirror in Rex's bedroom and we thought we were ready for dinner.

Rex's dad couldn't be happier that his son was good friends with Bate's kid. Maybe, a merger of their two companies, would be easier now with they son's being friends.

Rex and I walked downstairs to the main dining room. The room was large and could seat twenty people. Two huge crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. There were many sidetables and large china cabinets. Loaded with different silver serving dishes. Rex told me not to get seated yet, until his parents arrived. His mom was particular on where everyone sat.

Soon Rex's parents entered the dining room. Very formally dressed. More so, than Mason and Rex. Rex's mother thanked Mason for joining them for Thanksgiving dinner. Rex's mother said, you two young men can sit in the middle across from each other. Rex's parents sat at opposite ends of the long table.

Rex had warned me ahead of time that this was would be a banquet. His mother always had a large feast. Some of the leftovers would go to the staff for Thanksgiving and the rest went to the food shelter. Where distributed meals to poor people and the elderly, that weren't able to leave their homes.

Soon a line of waiters showed up and started serving the dinner. Rex was correct, this was a dinner for a 100 people or more.

First was the main courses. Starting with turkey. They served Rex's mother first, then his father, then Rex and I was last. I had a slice of dark meat. I wasn't too fond of the white meat. It tended to be dry. Next was ham and I took a small slice of ham. Finally pheasant with a great presentation using some of the bird's feathers. I had a couple slices of pheasant. It was something I really liked. Next came the sides dishes. I had a spoonful of the cranberry sauce. A large spoonful of sweet potatoes and a large spoonful of a green been casserole. We had wine with the dinner. Everything was delicious and I complimented Rex's mother on a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. We all had hommade strawberry shortcake with real whipped cream. Again, it was delicious. I was stuffed by the time we finished eating. I felt I would need to workout two or three times a day for the next ten years to get rid of all this food.

We left the dining room and we all went into the living room. I noticed Rex nod to one of the staff and he took off for somewhere in the house. We had a pleasant conversation. And I thanked Rex's parents for allowing me stay at their home. Rex's father spoke up, "since we're not going to here for Christmas. We thought we'd give you your Christmas presents now." A butler came in with two large boxes. One for Rex and the other for me. I was wondering what they contained. Rex was like a little kid and ripped the Christmas wrapping off the box. He then opened his box and had the biggest smile on his face. He pulled out the Dartmouth school mascot Keggy the Keg. Rex thanked his parents and I wondered how they were able to buy a replica of the college mascot. Mason opened his box and he received the same mascot and thanked Rex's parents. Then the valet that Rex had nodded to handed the cloth covered suits to his dad and two traveling suits to his mother. Merry Christmas, mom and dad. I thought you could use some traveling clothes. They both thanked Rex. Next they handed the blue cologne box to Rex's father and the red perfume box to his mother. They unwrapped the boxes and thanked Mason for being so thoughtful.

They then said they were invited to a party and would have to leave soon. They apologized, but said it was work related. Rex couldn't remember how many times he had heard that.

Rex apologized to Mason. "Rex there's nothing to apologize about. The same thing happens at my house all the time."

They spent one more week at Rex's house. They slept together every night, worked out and just relaxed, not having to do any school work.

Some of the staff waved to Rex and Mason as they left. It was about one hundred miles to Mason's house, so it wouldn't take that long. Mason had called ahead and talked to Reeves, so everything would be ready when they arrived.

It didn't take the guys long to arrive at Mason's house. They took one rest stop break, mainly to stretch. Then soon were entering through the main gate and long winding drive to the mansion. Rex was following Mason and taking in everything. Soon the mansion appeared in the distance and Mason could see a large group of staff waiting for them. Max pulled up in front with Rex right behind him. Albert opened their doors and they got out. Winston and James said they would take care of the vehicles. The staff started unloading the two SUVs and Reeves went with them to show the staff where everything would go. Mason and Rex started up the stairs when Albert said, "it's nice to see you Master Bates." I knew this would happen. I saw Rex having a hard time not to laugh. Albert told Mason his parent's were gone, but would be back later to greet them and meet Rex.

Rex had seen a few shots of the mansion on tv. But when you were actually here, this mansion was huge. Mason and Rex walked into a large foyer with a tall Christmas tree decorated. The tree had to be a least 20 feet tall. Rex was in awe. He thought their mansion was pretty impressive, but Mason's house was way over the top. The second floor staircase wound up to the second and third floor and were decorated for Christmas. It looked like real pine boughs were used. Decorated with holly and some small white twinkling lights. Mason told Rex to wait until tonight when all the outside and inside Christmas lights are turned on.

Rex followed Mason up to his wing. And Reeves was right there to open the door for them. "Holly crap Mason. This is where you live?"

"Yup. Welcome to my humble home."

"This isn't very humble. This is like something you'd see a movie star living in."

"I live in the east wing and my parents live in the west wing."<

Reeves told Mason that everything was put away and taken care of and asked Mason if they would like a beverage or a snack."

"A refreshment would be good. I'll be showing Rex around the house, so you'll have to find us."

"Very good sir." And Reeves left.

Mason showed Rex his wing. Then they walked out and Mason pointed to where his parents lived. "How long are these halls? They seem to go on forever."

"They're exactly one quarter mile."

"What's in the rooms at the far end?"

"They're used for storage."

Mason and Rex used the stairs and walked down to the second floor. Mason showed Rex around and the large banquet room. With guest bedrooms on two sides of the banquet hall. Then they walked down to the main floor. And Mason showed Rex the large gourmet kitchen with a breakfast nook. Small dining room for the immediate family and then the formal dining room, that could seat forty people. Sideboards and large china cabinets were along the walls. Four large crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. They then went to the living room which was massive. With a large full wall fireplace. A large projection tv. Sliding glass doors were along one wall that let outside to a covered patio that looked down to an almost olympic size swimming pool. They then walked down a hall which had more storage for dry goods for the kitchen.

Sliding doors were in the small dining room which let out to a beautiful enclosed sunroom. Filled with lush tropical plants.

Then then went outside and Mason showed Rex the tennis court the 18 hole golf course. The basketball court and a baseball diamond which could be converted into a football field. Complete with scoreboard and bleachers. Rex followed Mason to a couple of koi ponds connected by a little stream. Rex thought that was pretty cool. I showed him the reflecting pool and told him this would look nice when it got dark with the Christmas lights. Finally, the large pool, with pool house for changing and showering. Rex asked me what the large house was. He asked me if that was a guest house. I told him no, that's where the staff lives. We then went back inside and I we walked down to the basement. This was a full basement that my father had redone a couple of years ago. Rex liked the full gym with a changing room and shower room. The game room was also a hit and Rex liked the four lane bowling alley with scorboards and automatic pin setting machines. Then finally I showed him the theater room that my father had added when he had the basement redone. The theater room could hold twenty people in oversized chairs. Complete with a concession stand and popcorn machine.

We went back up to my wing. This time using the elevator. Rex mentioned to me that he hadn't bought anything for my parents for Christmas. Even though it was Christmas eve. I told him most of the stores were open for last minute shoppers. I suggested we take a shower and change and go to a couple of stores that I know my parents like to find presents for them.

I told Reeves we were going to shower and change and then Rex needed to do some shopping. If James could have a car ready for us. Reeves said, "consider it done sir."

Reeves took his time get their clothes laid out. He was hoping to see Rex naked. Mason sure had a hot friend. He thought it might give him some jack off material. What Reeves didn't know was that Mason and Rex were showering together in Rex's master bathroom.

Mason got the water hot and steamy and they slowly lathered each other. It didn't take them long to get hard. Then rinsed off then hugged and kissed under the water. Their hard cocks hitting together and sometimes rubbing between their balls. Mason turned the water down and got on his knees and gave Rex a fantastic blow job. When Rex came he was trembling and got weak in the knees he came so hard. Mason helped Rex stay standing. Then Rex returned the favor to Mason. And Mason erupted with a massive orgasm in Rex's mouth. They kissed again, tasting each other's cum. Rinsed off and walked out of the shower. Towel dried each other and draped the towel over their shoulders and walked into Rex's bedroom. Reeve's eyes almost bugged out of his head. Here was Mason and Rex completely naked with semis. Reeves had to control himself so he wasn't caught staring. "We didn't expect to see you Reeves."

"Sorry sir, was taking my time and making sure everything was just right for you and Rex."

"No problem Reeves. Rex and I are used to being naked. Playing sports and changing and showering in front of guys all the time."

"I'm finished and I'll leave you two alone. And Reeves left."

Mason and Rex laughed about that. Especially the look on Reeves' face. And the way he stared at them. Mason went back to his bedroom and they both got dressed.

Reeves couldn't believe his luck. He got to see both Mason and Rex naked. Two hot guys. Now he would have plenty of memories to jerk off too.

Mason and Rex were dressed and looked like two "preppies." Mason told Rex he knew a good restaurant where they were going and could have lunch their.

They walked to the front and Albert opened the doors for them. "Have a good day Master Bates." Mason cringed and Rex was stifling a laugh.

"Does he always call you Master Bates?"

"That's hilarious. I have to remember that." "Don't you start."

James was waiting for Mason and Rex in a black stretch limousine. Mason thought they should go in style. This one of two limousines that his dad used for business.

Mason told James where they wanted to go and soon they were driving into town and stopping in front of a strip mall. It looked like high end shops. They walked into an exclusive men's shop. The owner knew Mason and walked over immediately. "How may I help you Mason?"

"Well, I'd like you to help my friend Rex. He's looking for silk ties with a hanger."

"Very good. Right this way gentlemen. The owner pulled out a rack of four Armani silk ties. "Who is this for?"

"It's for Mason's father."

"He likes Armani. In fact that is all he buys from me. These four ties and rack are a set."

"What is this wood?"

"It's African Blackwood. The most expensive wood in the world."

"How much is this set?"

"It's priced at $2,500. But if you buy the set I'll take $100 dollars off, since it's for Mason's father."

"You've got yourself a deal." Rex paid for the set and had the owner gift wrap it in Christmas wrapping paper. The card simply said, "Merry Christmas, Rex." They all shook hands and left the shop.

They put the gift wrapped box into the limousine and walked down a couple more shops to a very expensive looking crystal ware store. They walked in. "My mom loves this store, Rex."

"Anything you buy her from here would be a perfect present." They walked in and the owner immediately recognized Mason. "Hello Mason, it's nice to see you. How may I help you?"

"My friend is looking for something for mom for Christmas."

"Well, you've come to the right place. Why don't you take a look around and see if something catches your eye."

Something did catch Rex's eye. "What do you think about this set for your mom? Do you think she'd like it?"

"Like I told you. Anything you buy for her from this shop, she'll love."

We got the owners attention. "I like this Kylemore set."

"That's an excellent choice. In fact, something I just received this set. I know your mom has pieces in this pattern, but not this set. This would make a perfect Christmas gift."

"How much is the set? "It's $1,800. But since it's for Mason's mom. I'll give you $100 off."

"You've got a deal." Rex paid for the set and had it gift wrapped in Christmas paper. It looked nice when it was finished. The card simply said, "Merry Christmas, Rex."

A very good French bistro was located in this strip mall. And had outside seating. We took a seat and French music was playing. A waiter in typical French garb came to our table. We ordered a glass of house wine, while we looked at the menu. Our French was nil, and was glad they had English translations. Our waiter came back and Rex order Moules Frites or mussels and fries. And I ordered Croque Monsieur or a ham and cheese sandwich. We had our wine glasses topped off. It was nice sitting outside and enjoying the weather, which would be changing soon. Fall is on the horizon and then winter. Our waiter brought lunches and told us, "to enjoy."

Lunch was very good and you could tell it was made by a chef or chefs. The wine complimented our lunch. Even though we weren't big wine drinkers. We finished a delicious lunch and thanked the waiter and gave him a generous tip.

We then headed back to the house. Mom and dad still weren't home yet on Christmas Eve. Albert told us they had many Christmas parties to attend, but assured us they would be home soon.

I asked Reeves about my Christmas presents for my parents and he said they were hanging up in my walkin closet. I had two tailored Armani business suits made for my dad. And one evening gown and one cocktail dress tailor made for my mom. My Christmas present for Rex was in my office and I would give to him later.

Rex was excited about his Christmas present for Mason. He hoped he liked what he had picked up and had inscribed. He and Mason had agreed to exchange Christmas presents in Mason's room.

They arrived back at the house and Albert told Mason his parents weren't back yet. But he expected them soon.

It was only the middle of the afternoon. So Mason and Rex put on speedos grabbed a couple of plush towels and walked out to the pool. Reeves was watching them from an upstairs window. He wished he was joining them. He was hoping they would swim naked, but no such luck. Mason and Rex had a glass of refreshment brought down for them. They rinsed off, using the outside shower by the changing room. Then they both dove into the pool. The water was refreshing and they did a few laps for exercise. They then climbed out of the pool. Their speedos clinging to their big bulges. The outline was clearly evident. Reeves was licking his lips and wishing he had his lips wrapped around those two big cocks. He had to stop watching them. He could feel himself leaking and didn't want to have a big wet spot on the front of his uniform pants. Besides he was getting rock hard and it was uncomfortable.

Mason felt himself getting closer and closer to Rex. They didn't have to say anything anymore. They knew what the other person was thinking. Mason thought he was really falling for Rex. When they made out and had sex. It didn't feel or seem like sex anymore. It felt like Rex was making love to him. Even though he wasn't sure about love. That's what he thought it was. Rex was so gentle and caring, Mason felt like the luckiest guy in the world.

Rex was daydreaming while they relaxed at the pool. He was thinking about Mason and how lucky he was to have such a great friend. But he felt Mason was more than a friend. He couldn't get those thoughts out of his head. He thought he was really falling for Mason. Mason was an easy person to like. He hoped Mason would like his friendship rings. He had them inscribed with, "I love you." He hoped he wasn't pushing or rushing into anything. But that was how he felt about Mason. The rings had two diamonds on the front. Representing, Mason and Rex. He was wondering what Mason's Christmas present was for him. All Mason would say, is that it's something special.

They talked a little about school and wondered what the second year had in store for them. They were really enjoying Dartmouth and they agreed they had made the right choice.

To strangers looking at Mason and Rex. They would feel the love the two had for each other. Even though they didn't realize or express it to each other. Just the way they looked at each other, would tell anybody how much they cared for each other.

Reeves walked down to the pool. He took his time. He wanted to take in their almost naked bodies. Those bulges sure looked delicious. "Mr. Mason. I wanted to tell you that I think you two should start getting ready for dinner. It's five now and your parents are on their way home."

"Thanks Reeves. We will do that. Why don't you lay out our clothes for dinner."

"Very good sir. Consider it done."

Reeves was happy. This could give him the opportunity to see both Mason and Rex naked. Or least he hoped so.

Mason and Rex climbed off their loungers and walked over and rinsed off the chlorine. Towel dried themselves and walked up to the house and took the elevator to Mason's room.

Reeves was busy in Mason's room. Getting the clothes arranged on the beds. "Reeves why don't you get the shower ready in Rex's bathroom for us."

Reeves hurried into Rex's bathroom and got the shower going. Mason and Rex walked into the bedroom and took their speedos off. They cocks and balls flopped down. Reeves couldn't stop staring. Mason knew he was watching and liked to give Reeves a show. So Mason put his arm around Reeves and they walked into the bathroom. So Reeves could see their cocks and balls bouncing and flopping around. Rex whispered to Mason, "you're such a cock tease."

"I know but Reeves loves it."

They took a long hot steamy shower. Washing each other. They jerked each other off in the shower while they kissed. They could feel each other's cum hitting their stomachs. They rinsed off again and then walked out. "Let's have a little fun with Reeves."

Rex raised his eyebrows. He was wondering what Mason had in mind. "Reeves, would you towel dry Rex and me?"

"Of course sir. It looked like Reeves was sweating and he was nervous."

Reeves started with Rex and dried him off, paying special attention to his cock and balls. He thought he felt Rex geting hard and twitching when he rubbed the towel over his cock. OMG, he was thinking to himself. Rex looked at the clothes that were laid for him while Reeves towel dried Mason. Mason put his hands behind his head and projected his crotch out to Reeves so he could dry him off. Reeves knew what Mason was doing. But he didn't care. Just the chance to dry them off completely. Was rewarding enough. Reeves also paid special attention to Mason's big cock and balls. He could feel Mason getting hard while he slowly dried his cock. Mason couldn't hold back a low moan. Reeves was really turning him on. "Thanks Reeves. That was great."

Reeves was thinking, "it sure was." "Would you like me to help you guys get dressed?"

They looked at each other and decided they would do it themselves. "I think we're okay Reeves. If mom and dad are home. Tell them we are getting dressed for dinner."

"Yes sir." Reeves left with a frown on his face. He was hoping to dress Mason and Rex and get a few feels in.

Reeves needed to find Albert. Mason must have forgot that he couldn't personally tell Mason's parents they were getting dressed for dinner. Only Albert was allowed to contact his parents.

Reeves finally found Albert at the kitchen, talking to one of the chefs. "Yes Reeves. Mr. Mason wanted his parents to know they were getting dressed for dinner."

"Thank you Reeves. I will inform Mr. Bates II."

Albert informed Mr. and Mrs. Bates that Mason and Rex were getting dressed for dinner. Mr. Bates told Albert they would meet in the living room before dinner.

Reeves told Mason that everyone should meet in the living room before dinner.

Mason and Rex looked pretty sharp in their dinner suits. They opted for bow ties in similar black dinner suits. Instead of the elevator they took the stairs down to the ground floor and walked into the spacious dining room. They were in the living room only a few minutes when Mason's parents entered. Mason's dad was wearing a dinner jacket and his wife was wearing a lovely gown. They all stood up and Rex greeting Mason's parents as well as Mason.

They sat and talked while the chefs were finishing dinner. Mason's dad poured them a quarter full brandy snifter. Mason knew this would probably happen. Neither he nor Rex drank alcoholic beverages, but out of respect they struggled it down. Mason's dad apologized for not being here. But he said during the holidays, they have a lot of parties they need to attend. Mason was thinking, they must celebrate the holidays most of the year. They're never home. Albert walked into the living room and said, "dinner was ready to be served."

They all got up and walked into the formal dining room. They sat where they had before. Soon a chef brought in a large covered silver platter and set it on a sideboard and left the dining room. The servers then came in. One of them took the cover off the large silver platter. Two whole suckling pigs were sliced and ready for serving. He served us followed by a line of servers with side dishes. Fresh crisp garden salad. Three different kinds of white potatotes. Sweet potatoes. Cranberry sauce. I thought we were having Thanksgiving dinner all over again. And many different casseroles. I ate modestly and I noticed Rex did also. Everything was delicious and I don't know how my mom always came up with a different menu every Christmas dinner. We didn't have seconds, my dad did. We had wine with dinner. Soon we had finished and a large dessert cart was wheeled in and the server went to each of us. I knew everything was homemade by the pastry chef. I had a mouthwatering eclair. I noticed Rex had an apple danish. My mom had key lime cheesecake and my dad had a large slice of apple crumble pie with whipped cream. I felt like I did at Rex's that I would need to workout for the next ten years to get rid of all these calories.

We finished and retired to the living room. We finished our coffee in the living room. And my mom said it was time to unwrap presents. I nodded to Reeves who walked in with the tailor made clothes I had made for mom and dad. My dad gave me a big hug and thanked me. My mom gave me a kiss on the cheek and then thanked me. Next a blue box was handed to my dad and large red box was handed to my mom. My dad read the card. "Merry Christmas from Rex." My dad was like a little kid and ripped the paper off and opened the box. A big smile came to his face. "Rex, this a perfect Christmas present. Thank you very much." They shook hands and my dad gave Rex a hug. My mom was being prissy opening her box and neatly folded the wrapping paper. She carefully opened the box and a smile came to her face. "Oh Rex, this is wonderful. Thank you so much." She had the big box on the floor. It was too heavy for the coffee table. The outside of the box said Kylemore Waterford Crystal Set. The box contained 8 water goblets, 8 claret wine glasses, 8 champagne/tall sherbert glasses, and 8 fluted champagne glasses. "This will finish my set. This is just is just wonderful." My mom and Rex hugged and my mom gave Rex a kiss on the cheek. "What did you young men get each other for Christmas?" "We are going to exchange our presents in our room." "How about you, mom and dad? What did you get each other?"

"We're going on a much needed vacation for one week to Bali. My private secretary took care of all the details. We will be staying on a private island with our own bungalow. We will be leaving early tomorrow morning and taking my Bombarier Challenger 650. I knew that was a new jet and outfitted to my dad's standard. It could hold 12 passengers and it had a bedroom and a dining area with a large comfortable seating area.

"Enjoy your much needed vacation."

We all got up and my parents went to their wing while Rex and I went to my wing. We took the elevator. I was anxious to see what Rex got me for a Christmas present.

We changed clothes first and got into something comfortable and casual. Just shorts and a tshirt. Reeves put our dress clothes away. Once he left Rex said, "I'll be right back."

He went to his bedroom and was back in a flash. "I want you to stand up and close your eyes. I'll tell you when to open your eyes."

Rex got down on one knee with his ring box in his hand. "Okay, you can open your eyes."

"Rex, what are you doing?"

Rex handed me a little box. I opened the box and a beautiful ring was shining at me. I took the ring out of the box. "Read the inscription inside Mason." I looked inside the ring. It read. "I love you Mason. Forever Rex."

I nervously put the ring on my ring finger and it fit. I pulled Rex up and we hugged and kissed. Then Rex handed me a small box and told me to get down on one knee. I did like Rex had done and handed the ring box to Rex. He opened the box. The inscription read, "I love you Rex. Forever Mason."

"Rex these rings are the best Christmas present ever. I love you. But wasn't sure how to approach you. These rings say it all."

"Did you notice the two diamonds. They symbolize us."

"I know Mason. I knew I loved you for a long time. But like you, I wasn't sure how to say it. I thought these rings say it the best."

We just stood there hugging and kissing each other. And looking at our rings. "Now where is my Christmas present?" I asked Mason. "Just a minute and I'll be right back."

I saw Mason run down to his office and came back holding, what looked like a couple of travel pamplets. "Sit down Rex before I hand you this."

We both sat down together on the couch in the front room. I handed him his tickets. "What's this?"

"Look at it."

I saw Rex looking at his tickets carefully and then a big smile came to his face. "Are these tickets to Fiji? Or are you joking?"

"They are to Fiji and I'm not joking. I thought this would be a good idea during our two week spring break between semesters."

"This is a great idea Mason. The trip could be our honeymoon."

We hugged and kissed some more and expressed our love to each other, over and over again.

We got into a routine of working out when we first woke up. Then breakfast. Tennis and a couple of games of bowling. Then we'd eat lunch. After lunch we'd change and relax and do a little swimming in the pool. This was a routine we were comfortable with. We had our trim and firm bodies back in shape.

Our winter break was soon coming to an end and we would be heading back to college to start our second year. We were wondering what second year had in store for us. I was sure with us working together, we'd get through it.

Reeves had our suitcases packed for us and James had our SUV's parked in front. Our suitcases were stored in the back of our SUV's. We had agreed to switch off, as to who would be in the lead. When we stopped at a rest stop, and then we would switch and the other person would be in the lead.

A large group of staff wished us a save trip. Of course Albert had to mention, "Master Bates." Which always made Rex chuckle. We waved to the staff as we circled around and left the grounds of the mansion.

We were returning a few days early to adjust and get our rooms ready for second year. The drive back to college would take about four hours, depending on traffic.

Our travel mugs were empty, so we stopped at the next rest stop. Filled our travel mugs and emptied our bladders. Rex would be in the lead now.

Rex and I were making good time. Driving back during the week, was less traffic than the weekend. We had already completed three hundred miles. And should be arriving at around lunch time.

We pulled into town and it was busy. I guess a lot of students had the same idea as us. Arriving back a few days early. We knew of a couple good restaurants and we pulled in, in front of one of them. The hostess seated us and we ate a good lunch.

We then took off to the college and parked in our reserved spots with our parking ID hanging from the rear view mirror. No valets here to help us. And we unloaded Rex's SUV first and hauled everything up to his room. Thank god for elevators. Then Rex helped me. We had taken pictures of our rooms with our cell phones to make sure nothing had been taken. I walked into my room and it smelled fresh. Everything looked in place. I did a quick tour around my room. Being a small room, it didn't take long.

I walked over to Rex's room and he said nothing was out of place or missing. We thought we'd take a walk around the campus and see if anything was posted yet for the honors classes.

We walked over to the school of business first. All that was posted was a class roster for honors classes and a list of the students. And the time and where the first class would meet. We noticed the class roster was all the same students. Still the eight us. We then walked next door to the school of economics and it was practically the same. Only change was we picked up a couple more students in our honors class. So instead of eight, we now had ten.

We left the school of economics and walked over to the student union. It wasn't busy yet. Probably the majority of students would arrive on the weekend. We saw a few familiar faces. We grabbed a couple of ice teas and walked around the union. Nothing of interest was on the big bulletin board. And we didn't feel like going to the book store and looking around.

We ended up back in my room and I noticed Rex locked the door when he entered. He walked over to me and we hugged and kissed. I pulled out the loveseat into a bed. And we slowly stripped each other completely naked. "I love you Rex." "No. I love you more Mason."

We laid down on the bed facing each other and kissing some more. Our cocks were hard and hitting and rubbing together, making us hot and horny. The only thing we hadn't done was fucking and I think neither of us wanted to rush into it. We had done some rimming, which was pretty hot. We liked being in a sixty nine. So far, that was our favorite position. Where we could suck each other and try to cum at the same time. Sometimes we got daring and would stick a wet finger in the other's hole. Neither of resisted, but that was as far as went.

We kept making out and getting hotter for each other. Finally we moved around into a sixty nine. We were both getting pretty good at deep throating. We had had a lot of practice. I was playing with Rex's big balls and fingering his hole while I deep throating his hard throbbing cock. I knew just where to suck his cock to bring him off fast. Rex knew the same thing with me. Soon we couldn't hold back and we were pumping out big loads and swallowing them down. We laid back exhausted and finally regained our breathing.

Rex and I decided to take a shower and then grab some dinner.

We were faithfully watching the weather channel. We knew the college and this area could have some brutal winters. It was cool for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but no snow yet. I turned on the weather channel and we both watched. The weatherman said a cold front was coming through the area, with snow and freezing temperatures behind it. I guess that answered our question.

We put on some heavier clothes. And ski sweaters and thought we'd peek out and see if that good enough. I had a hard time opening the door. The wind was so strong. We definitely needed a coat and something on our head.

I walked back to my room and told Rex. He told he would be right back, changed, and ready to go.

I found some heavy corduroy pants and heavy socks. I put on a ski sweater and a winter coat over that. But wasn't sure what I had for my head. I found a stocking cap and stuck that on. I found a wool scarf and pulled that out. Took my coat off and wrapped it around my neck and put my coat back on. Found some shoe boots and put them on. I was just finished dressing when Rex walked in. He had stocking a cap too. No scarf, but a ski sweater and heavy coat with some boots.

We walked downstairs and left our residence hall. The warm clothes felt good. The wind was howling and making little swirls. He was cloudy and looked like snow clouds. We decided to go to the restaurant that was the closest. It was the Chinese restaurant.

The restaurant was open, but not very busy. Students probably didn't want to get out in the weather. We were seated by a window. I was glad so we could check on the weather. We decided to eat off the buffet. Everything smelled wonderful. We loaded up our plates and walked back to our table. We both had hot cups of coffee, which tasted good. We finished and Rex went back for seconds. Rex was taller than me and a bigger build. He could really put the food away.

When Rex finished his second helping. We walked back up and got dessert. I wasn't sure what I was wanted, but it looked good. A waitress told me it was a banana pudding. It was as good as it looked. They had some king of cookies lining the bottom with a layer of bananas and then the vanilla pudding on top. It was really good and I was tempted to go back for seconds. Since Rex went back I joined him.

We finished our dinner and thought we'd go back to our dorm. We both left a tip for the waitress, she said something in Chinese, but we didn't have a clue.

The wind was still blowing hard. And it looked like a skiff of snow was coming down. It felt cold, with the wind blowing so hard. And we made good time walked back to North Park House. The residence assistant told the had changed the forecast to a heavy snowstorm, hitting later tonight. The wind was supposed to let up, followed by the snow.

The hallways were a comfortable temperature and we had our own thermostat in our room. Rex told me he was going to get changed and then be right over.

I checked the frig freezer and I had three frozen pizzas we could zap in the microwave or heat in the oven. We might be able to get delivery. Would have to check on that tomorrow.

Rex made it back in shorts and tshirt. He looked like he was free balling. I could see cock and balls bouncing around in his shorts. Somebody must be horny.

I put the weather channel back on so we could check the progress of the storm. On the weather map it looked huge.

I told Rex about the frozen pizza and he said he had a couple in his freezer too. So that would make a good snack.

We were sitting close together on the love seat with an arm around each other's shoulders. And our eyes glued to the tv. Soon I felt Rex's hand move down on my chest and he started rubbing my nips through my tshirt. You could see two little points sticking out. He leaned in and kissed me while he undid my shorts. I lifted my hips and he slid them off. Then I told Rex it was his turn. He lifted his hips and his big cock sprang out. I was right, he was going commando. We kicked off our sandals and were only wearing our tshirts. I like being completely naked. For some reason it makes me hornier.

We kissed and hugged sat side by side. Let's pull out the love seat. I pulled it out and we used the cushions as pillows and laid back hugging and kissing. We were making out for almost an hour when I told Rex he was getting me close. So we moved around into our favorite sixty nine. As soon as Rex's throat engulfed my cock, I started firing out a big load. Rex eagerly swallowed it down and I started working Rex's cock. Bobbing up and down making loud slurping and sucking noises. I knew Rex was getting close. He started stiffening out and I felt his cock swell in my throat. Soon he blasted a big load hitting the back of my throat. I pulled off his cock and cleaned the cum off. We laid back breathing heavy and regaining our breathing.

I got up and looked outside from the window and the snow was coming down heavy. It looked hazy outside with the heavy snowfall. It looked like the wind had eased up. I felt comfortable right here in my dorm room with my lover.

The only terms of endearment we used for each other was babe and lover. And that was perfect. We laid with our eyes glued back on the tv. The storm looked huge. The weatherman said it was a slow moving storm and would probably we staying in the area for about five days. Wonderful. We'd have to go out in the storm to our classes.

It was getting later and our stomachs were growling. We warmed the oven, according to the instructions on the wrapper. The red light went off and the oven was ready. He slid the sausage pepperoni pizza in. He set the timer and told me we would have some hot pizza soon. I found some paper plates and napkins. And made a couple of glasses of instant ice tea. Threw in a couple of ice cubes and I thought we were ready. I heard the oven beep and Rex pulled out the pizza with an oven mitt. I didn't even know I had an oven mitt. I found a pizza cutter in one of the kitchen drawers and Rex cut the pizza. We put a couple pieces on our paper plates and walked back to the loveseat bed with pizza and ice tea. I told Rex we would need to workout tomorrow in the gym. And get rid of all these calories.

Our snack was okay. Not great, but it filled us. When we finished we looked out the window and the snow was still coming down hard. We could see what looked like four wheelers with plows on the front clearing the walkways. It was fun watching them. The width of the plow was the perfect size for the walkways. We didn't know how many were plowing. It was too hard to see.

Over the weekend, we pretty much hibernated in each other's rooms. The snow storm persisted. I found a phone directory by the room phone. It give a number to use to call off campus and then a list of phone numbers for the grocery store, restaurants, cafes, student union and the other residence halls. I didn't know the campus had a grocery store. Might have to check that out. We were able to get delivery. It took longer because of the heavy snow. But Rex and I knew hardly anything about cooking.

Monday arrived and the snow storm was still kicking out buckets of snow. We bundled up and put on our matching Dartmouth hoodies. We could use the hood to cover our head. We wore scarves, in case the wind was blowing. We had a business class first and we walked into the class room. All the same students were there and we greeted each other while we waited for the teacher. Soon the same teacher came in and apologized for being a few minutes later. He gave us a syllabus and class schedule. He told us second year was more intense. He told us if we looked at the syllabus, we would be having a combination of lecture and presentations. He would be presented knew concepts and then it ws our job to incorporate them into a business presentation. Class was short, because of the weather and being the first day.

Our economics teacher told us the same thing. He told us first year was like the appetizer and second year was the main course. He told us he would be challenging us and our work would be more intense than first year. We would really delve into the concepts of economics.

All our classes the first day were short and to the point.

The snow storm was supposed to be easing up tomorrow. Would check the weather channel when we got back to the dorm. We stopped at the student union and got a bite to eat. We thought we would order deliver again for dinner. The student union was busy. It looked like half the student population was inside. It was crowded. We had to stand up and eat our lunch. There wasn't any sitting places.

The four wheelers were busy plowing when we walked back to North Park House. There wasn't any wind so, it didn't feel as the cold. Just the perfect temperature for snow.

The snow storm finally ended and then they salted the walkways. The resident assistant told us to take off our boots in the hallway. That way we wouldn't be carrying the salt into our rooms. He said the salt was strong and would eat away the carpeting. The hallway carpeting was different and the salt didn't affect it. The resident assistant told us there was free hot chocolate in the lounge, if we were interested.

Rex and I picked up a styfoam glass of hot chococlate. It wasn't too be and the the hot chocolate felt good going down our throats.

Like our teachers told us. Second year was definitely more intense and challenging. Rex and I found ourselves studying and preparing presentations, that were taking longer. Sometimes we wouldn't finish till around two or three in the morning. Then have a quick bite to eat and get a few hours of sleep before our first class.

First semester of the second year was going fast. We were kept so busy, it made the time fly by. I finally asked the two girls in our class if they were sisters. They looked at each other and started laughing. They said they were twins. Then one of the sisters asked me, "is Rex your boyfriend?" It took me by surprise, I didn't think we were that noticeable. I told her the truth, "yes Rex and I are boyfriends." Then I showed her my ring. "I knew it. The way you two look at each other. It shows the love you have for each other. Too bad, your guys are so handsome, it would have been great to date you." I said, "I guess that won't be happening." Then the teacher came in and class got started.

Soon we were in our last week of first semester. Rex and I were doing great. And maintaining our 4.0 GPA, as were almost all of the students in our class. A couple of students in economics seemed to be struggled a bit. So Rex and I helped them out and got them back on track. They appreciated that and their grades improved.

I had called Reeves to make sure everything was confirmed and ready for our trip to Fiji. The flight would be over fifteen hours, even flying in a high speed jet. A lot depended on the wind currents and how long it would take to take off and land. We would be flying on my dad's Bombardier Global 8000 jet. It was the fastest of the Bombardier jets. I was surprised we were using that jet. I had never rode in it. It was the newest purchase of my dad.

Our last week finished and Rex and I were packed and ready for a break. We had two weeks off between semesters. We would be returning about three days before second semester started.

There was supposed to be an airport limousine coming to pick us up. We waited downstairs by the entrance and saw a black limousine pull up. The chaffeur got and we told him our names. He helped us with our luggage. It would be nice to be wearing summer clothes.

The airport was about twenty minutes from Dartmouth. The chaffeur seemed to know where he was going and parked by the side of the Bombardier Jet. It was big and looked new. The flight crew helped the chaffeur store our luggage in the cargo hold and the steward hung up our garment bags inside. The inside was spacious with an elegant sitting area. Dining room and a full sized bedroom with an en suite bathroom.

The steward asked us if we would like something drink before we took off. Since we were on vacation. We both asked for a beer.

The cold beer tasted good. We hadn't drank any alcoholic beverages since last Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Soon we felt the plane moving and the captain came on and told us to fasten our seat belts, we would be taking off shortly. The plane smelled new and everything was pristine. I knew it was just the way my dad wanted it.

Soon we were picking up speed and we were airborne. There wouldn't be any stops. We were going directly to Fiji. Rex and I were excited. Neither of us had every been to Fiji and it would be just the two of us together.

The captain came on and told us we had reached our cruising altitude and could take off our seatbelts. He went on to say that it should take around fourteen hours before we arrived at Fiji, if the wind stayed the same. This plane did go fast.

The steward asked if we would like anything and we told him we would take another beer. Once we had our second beer. We got up and walked around. Everything was of the highest quality. Italian leather chairs and sofa. Marble in the bathroom. The meeting room was of the highest quality with a walnut table and brocaded matching walnut chairs. We walked back to the front. And sat on two chairs facing each other. Our second beer went down too fast and we thought we better hold off. We opted for a cup of black coffee and some snacks.

Lunch was delicious. A good gourmet lunch. Not too filling, just right.

Rex and I thought we'd take a nap for a little while. Fiji is seventeen hours ahead of us. So we're going to lose almost one day. But will gain it back when we return. I told the steward we were going to take a nap and if we slept too long. To wake us for dinner.

We laid out the travel brochures and Fiji looked like a tropical paradise. We would be arriving at the best time of the year. Before tropical rains start. I didn't know where we would be staying, it was a surprise.

We stripped each other and laid together naked on the bed. Whispering how much we loved each other. We hugged and kissed and stayed that way as we nodded off.

I heard a light rap at the door. I put on a robe and walked to the door. The steward told me he was getting dinner ready and if we wanted to get ready for dinner. I told him we would be out in a few minutes. You couldn't see the bed from the door. I was glad about that. I didn't want the steward seeing my lover spread out naked on the bed. That was for my eyes only.

God Rex looked so hot. I hated to wake him. But we needed to eat dinner and check the time. We should be landing in a little while. It would be the afternoon of the next day when we arrived. Which would seem strange.

I laid down next to Rex and kissed him. He stirred and gave me a smile and we kissed. I told him the steward was getting our dinner ready. We got up and took a quick shower and jerked each other off to get rid of our hardons. We put on some nice sporty clothes. Not "preppy," but sporty. And walked out to the front sitting area.

I saw the dining room table already set. Something smelled good coming from the galley. The steward told us the chef had something special cooked for us. He told we could get seated. Dinner was ready.

He came out from the galley with a large silver covered platter. Then brought out fresh garden salads. Small round potatoes in garlic butter, topped with fresh parsley. Also a mixture of different vegetables. He took the cover off the platter and it was a chateubriand for two. He also had a small gravy boat of au jus for the chateubriand. He asked us if he would like him to serve us. We told him to go ahead. He served Rex first and them me. The steward also had a chilled bottle of red wine in a wine bucket next to me. Everything was mouthwatering. I had never eaten chateubriand this tender and delicious. Rex also complimented the dinner. We ate more than we usually do. Once we finished. The steward cleared the dishes and brought out dessert. Homemade strawberry shortcake. He told us the strawberries were imported fresh and it was real whipped cream. Again, we ate more than usual. We told the steward to thank the chef. The dinner and dessert were excellent.

We went back to the sitting area and the steward put the rest of the chilled wine into a carafe for us. I checked the time and it was already approaching seven. I thought we should be arriving in about an hour. But the captain hadn't announced anything.

We were finishing our wine when the captain came on and said we were starting our descent into Fiji International Airport. Which is called Nadi International Airport. We should be landing in about an hour. He said when seated to have our seatbelt on.

I looked out the window but couldn't really see anything as dark out as it was. But we should be coming into daylight soon.

We kept sipping on the wine. And I noticed daylight and thought I caught glimpes of land. The captain said we would be passed over part of Australia. Since Fiji was off the coast from Australia by about four hours by plane. We saw a part of Australia and saw Fiji up ahead. The captain had already lowered the landing gear. He came back on and reminded us to have our seatbelts fastened, that we would landing shortly.

Rex and I were excited and anxious.

We felt the plane touchdown with a very smooth landing. And soon the plane was taxiing to our private landing area. A limousine was there waiting for us. The plane stopped and we stood up and stretched. And thanked the flight crew for an enjoyable flight. We walked down the steps and to the limousine. The steward and chaffeur loaded our gear into the limousine. The chaffeur opened the back doors for us and we waved to the flight crew as we got into the limousine.

The chaffeur told us he was taking us to a private ferry. We asked him why a private ferry. He said that was the only instructions he had.

It didn't take long and he soon stopped by what looked like a marina. He opened the doors for us. And a man asked our names. He told us he would be taking us to one of the islands. I knew that Fiji was an archipelago of 330 islands. But I didn't think all the islands were inhabited. We climbed into a very comfortable ferry boat. The captain of the boat and chaffeur stowed all our gear in the boat. Soon we were on our way to an island. We talked a little and the owner of the ferry asked us if this was our first time to Fiji. He told us he hoped we enjoyed our stay. The water was crystal clear and a most beautiful blue color. You could see the bottom the water was so clear. Soon he slowed and pulled into a dock. Someone was there to help anchor the boat to the dock. There were steps lowered so it made it easy to get out of the ferry.

We walked out onto the dock and were greeted by many nationals. Their English was perfect and they told us to follow them. We followed them down a stone walkway to a huge bungalow. The person in charge, told us we were in a private bungalow on a private island. We would be the only tourists here. We would have a staff to attend to us. Otherwise, we were the only inhabitants.

The bungalow looked huge from the outside. And when we walked in. It looked even larger. I noticed it had a traditional palm leaf roof. Otherwise the rest of the bungalow was more modernized. Part of the bungalow was over the water. It was a covered sitting area. Giving fantastic views. The bungalow had a large kitchen with a small dining room. There was a large formal dining room. A large living room with a fireplace and flat screen tv mounted on the wall. There was an office downstairs. The living room had sliding doors out to a large swimming pool. Upstairs was another large living room in the center was bedrooms going around the living room on three sides. Kind a of different arrangement, but it worked. We were shown to the master bedrooms. Our belongings were already in the master bedrooms. And a maid asked us if we would like her to put our things away. We told her to go ahead. We went back downstairs and went out a small door close to the kitchen. This was another stone path that took us down to the beach. Palm trees were all over. The white sand seemed to make the water look even bluer. Our guide told us it was safe to go swimming here. But to not swim past the buoys. We went back inside and our guide told us we were having entertainment early this evening. Around six the entertainment would start with our dinner.

Rex and I were busy taking pictures on our cell phones. The pictures would be the best way of explaining where we stayed.

Our guide asked us to follow her. She took us to a flag pole. She told us we would be by ourselves at night. They lived only about ten minutes away. If there was a problem or they needed something, to raise the flag and they would be here shortly. We thanked her.

Rex and I noticed a large crew setting up what looked like a stage and some large banquet tables. I was wondering what the entertainment would be. We told our guide we were going to take a nap before the entertainment.

We walked up to the first master bedroom. My things were located in this room. Rex followed me in and locked the door. His master bedroom adjoined mine and he made sure his master bedroom door was locked. I grapped some lube from my carry on and set it on the nightstand. I thought now was a good time to try some anal penetration. I wasn't sure about this, but it was something I wanted to experience.

We got naked in record time and I saw Rex's big hardon bouncing around. He looked ready and excited about this. We weren't sure exactly on how to go about this. We had listened to some information on the internet and had watched videos. I knew I needed to be stretched. Rex told me to get on all fours and then put my head down on the pillow. I saw him put lube on a finger. The lube felt cool, but soon warmed as he rubbed it around my hole and then inserted his finger coating the inside of my hole. We had fingered each other before when we sixty nined. So I was use to the feeling of a finger in my hole. Then Rex lubed a second finger and eased it in. It didn't feel bad. Just different. He moved the two fingers around and then scissored them to stretch my hole. Then I felt a third finger going in. I told Rex to go slow and take his time. The third finger didn't feel so good. Soon Rex was working the three fingers in and out of my hole. He pulled his fingers out and wiped them off on a towel. I saw him lube his big hardon. I started tensing up. Rex told me to relax and breath and I felt something hard and blunt at my hole. Rex tried to enter me, but my hole was too tight. He put more lube on the entrance to my hole and the head of his cock. The head popped in and I gave a gasp. "Are you okay babe? You want me to stop?"

"No. Don't stop. I'm just getting used to the full feeling. It didn't hurt. Just go slow and take your time."

I appreciated Rex being concerned about how I felt. I knew he really loved me and didn't want to hurt me. I relaxed and kept breathing and I felt a little of his shaft enter my hole. Rex was taking his time and going very slow. Soon a little more was eased in. It didn't feel bad. Just a strange full feeling. Soon I felt his pubes pressed against my ass and I knew he was all the way in.

Rex didn't move and just let me get used the feeling of his cock in my hole. I soon felt him pull out a little and then ease back in. It didn't hurt and actually didn't feel too bad. Rex did that again and I felt him hit something and gave me jolt of electricity and a euphoria wash over me. I told Rex that whatever he had rubbed, it sure felt good. He said it must have been my prostate. Rex started going faster and I was matching his thrusts. He continually rubbed over my prostate and I could feel my load building. The next time he rubbed my prostate, I didn't think I could hold back and would be shooting out a big load. I was glad we had laid some big towels on he bed. Rex rubbed my prostate again and I moaned and started shaking as I released a big load. My hole was constricting uncontrollably on Rex's cock. I felt his cock swell in my hole. And he gave out a loud groan and filled me with his hot cum. We were both sweating and Rex slowly pulled out of my hole. We laid back on the bed panting and looking at each other. "How was it babe?" "Better than I expected. When you rubbed my prostate, all I felt was wave after wave of pleasure. You didn't hurt me."

I saw a look of relief on Rex's face. I told him later tonight it was my turn to fuck him. He gave me a concerned look. "Don't worry lover, I'll be gentle and take my time." I don't know if that made him feel any better.

We took a quick shower. Put the towels in the clothes hamper and dressed in some rather touristy clothes. At least we thought so.

We unlocked our bedroom doors and walked downstairs and checked the progress outside. It looked complete, and different types of tropical fruit was being arranged on the large banquet tables. A sitting area had been set up in front of the stage. There was a wide aisle between the rows of chairs.

Soon we heard a lot of talking and people were arriving. Our guide told us people from the main island and some of the smaller islands were invited. Food was also being placed on the banquet table. It was being arranged very artistically.

Soon someone walked up on stage and asked everyone to get seated. The show was going to start soon.

We heard typical music and saw dancers coming down the aisle dancing and then they went up the stairs onto the stage. It was the national dancers. They danced to typical Fiji music. Most of the dances told a story. They were excellent. Part of the program, was just women dancing, then it changed to just men dancing and then concluded with both men and women dancing together. The program was excellent and we all gave them a standing ovation.

They came off the stage and mingled with us. They all knew good English. The buffet was ready. And we were told we should go first. Everything looked too nice to eat. But the different tropical fruit was out of this world. We took tablespoonfuls of some of the local dishes. I had no idea what they were. I thought most of the dishes had some kind of fish. Whatever it was, it was delicious. We all sat back down and got acquainted and enjoyed our dinner. Once we had our fill. Our guide went up on stage and told everyone that small baskets of the buffet food was being prepared and to make sure everyone took a basket before they left. I thought that was a unique idea. I noticed some of the workers had taken food into the bungalow.

We greeted everybody as they slowly left. Rex and I thanked the national dancers for an excellent show. One of the dancers told us they had left a couple of CD's for us. One was just typical music they danced to. The other CD was the buffet combined with part of the show.

Soon everyone had left and I saw workers taking down the stage and folding the banquet tables. Soon it didn't look like anything had happened.

It was getting later and Rex and I were getting tired with the time change. Our guide reminded us about the flag pole and we told him we would use it, only if it was something important.

Soon it was just Rex and I on our private island with a beautiful bungalow.

We walked into the bungalow and fresh fruit was arranged on the table with some beautiful red and white flower interlaced around the fruit. We found out later the flowers were the national flower of Fiji.

We walked back upstairs and had agreed to take a swim on our private beach. Rex and I walked into my master bedroom and a huge fruit basket was on the dresser. A large floral arrangement was on the bed. Rex walked into his bedrom and told me he had the same thing. We set the flowers next to the fruit. Rex changed in his room and I changed in my room. We were going skinny dipping. We both put board shorts on, which could easily be removed with an oversized plush towel. We wore flip flops and walked out the door close to the kitchen. On our private stone path to our beach.

The moon was out and full. And making a beautiful glow on the clear water. It looked really romantic. We spread out our towels and pulled off our board shorts. We were both naked. Left our flip flops by our towels and walked on the white sand. It was a nice balmy evening. And the water was perfect. We had our arms around each other's shoulders as we walked in the water. We pulled each other close together and kissed. Rex told me, "this is the best Christmas ever." I was happy he was enjoying himself. I felt it was a perfect spring break.

We swam around a little and finally I was getting really horny. I was wondering about making love to Rex in the water. I called Rex over and told him to back up to me. He had a perplexed look on his face. My raging boner was ready for action. When Rex was right in front of me. I slid a finger into his hole. He gave out a gasp. He wasn't expecting that. Then a second finger. It seemed to slide in easy with the water. I moved the two fingers around like Rex had done to me and then worked in a third finger. Stretching Rex's hole for my engorged cock. I held Rex by his hips and pulled him onto me slowly. I could feel the head of my cock slowly opening his hole. Then suddenly the head was in. I asked Rex how he felt. He told like I had said. He felt full, but it didn't hurt. I then eased in a inch. Rex told me to go slow so he could adjust. I think it took about twenty minutes before I was all the way in. Rex said it didn't hurt. I slowly pulled out a little and eased back in. The head of my cock hit his swollen prostate. I could feel it. Rex gave out a gasp and told me that he just had the most wonderful sensation course through his body. I told I rubbed over his prostate. He told me to keep it up and go faster. I started a slow in and out, making sure the head rubbed his prostate. Rex was panting and pushing on me. He looked like he was in a trance. I kept going faster and faster and Rex said he was going to cum any second. I could feel him cumming. His hole was tightening on my cock getting me close. I soon stiffened and my cock erupted in his hole. Sending gush after gush of hot cum. I pulled out and we rinsed off in the water. We staggered back to our towels and laid down for a bit. "That was fantastic babe. This is something I want to do again." I told Rex, "I liked it. But wasn't sure about when I wanted to do it again."

Finally we walked naked to the bungalow. Rinsed off in the shower and crawled into my bed. We were exhausted and sleep overtook us almost immediately. The time change was starting to catch up with us.

Over the next few days. We didn't really do much. We enjoyed the beach more than the pool. We both had pools at home, so the beach drew our attention. We enjoyed the tropical drinks. The cook was good at fixing different kinds of tropical drinks. The fresh fruit and the relaxing atmosphere was just what we needed. We forgot about school for a few days.

Unfortunately all good things have to come to an end. We wanted to get back to college a few days before second semester started. Especially with the time change. All our travel arrangements had been made ahead of time.

The housekeepers had our bags packed and we thanked for a wonderful, relaxing time.

The same man escorted us to the ferry. And soon we were back on the main island. The limousine was waiting for us and took us to our private jet. The flight crew said they had an enjoyable time in Fiji. We waved back to everyone as we boarded the plane. Soon we were airborne and on our fourteen hour flight back to college.

Rex and I talked about our time in Fiji and how much we enjoyed it. It was the perfect getaway.

As we were getting close to landing. Rex and I changed into winter clothes and the steward took care of our clothes we had been wearing.

Another smooth landing and we were greeted with snow and cold weather. The captain told us they had just had another snow storm, and the weather was staying cold. The outside temperature was in the teens.

When we deboarded, the cold weather was like a slap in the face. We got into the warm limousine quick and soon we were on our way back to Dartmouth.

The chaffeur helped Rex and me with our gear and soon we were back in North Park House. Unpacking in our rooms.

We relaxed for the three days before classes. We already had our schedules for second semester. It didn't seem like we were already finishing our undergraduate work and would be graduating and then starting our masters program in both business and economics.

First day of second semester was laid back and not intense. We were given assignments and then our first day was over.

The weather was staying cold. But no more snow was in the forecast. It looked like we had more than enough snow.

We ordered delivery and ate while we worked on our computers, getting our next presentation ready.

Second semester was going along smoothly. It stayed intense and kept us focused. Since we were in honors classes, we would graduate with honors. All eight of us in business honors class would graduate valedictorians. One student in our economics would graduate as a salutatorian.

The graduation ceremony would be held at Memorial Field Stadium. Both our parents wouldn't be able to attend. There work schedules wouldn't permit the day off. I wasn't surprised and Rex wasn't either.

Honors students received their diplomas first followed by the rest of the graduates. Rex had to give a valedictorian graduation speech. I was relieved. I didn't want to give a speech. Rex's speech was well received. One of the other students in our business and economics class gave a speech. Along with some other students I didn't now.

Rex and I were already enrolled and ready to start our masters classes. To our surprise, we had the same teachers we had for our undergraduate business and ecomonics classes. That was a pleasant surprise. We got to know our teachers very well. Just like we were told at orientation. It's like a family environment and the teachers take a special interest in their students. They want their students to excel.

We didn't do any more fucking after we got back from break. With classes starting soon, we didn't need any more stress or anxiety. It seemed right when we at Fiji. We were relaxed and stress free. Now that it was the middle of winter. We thought our bungholes were probably frozen shut anyway. But we weren't in the mood for trying more fucking. When we sixty nine, we still stuck a couple of fingers in our holes. That was good enough.

Tomorrow would start first semester of our masters program. This would be a two year program with a our double major in business and economics. The weather was slowly starting to change. And would get warmer as we got closer and closer to spring. The snow had went down a lot from what we had had.

We relaxed most of the day and wanted to be rested and ready for tomorrow. Rex and I were in the habit of being naked most of the time. The only time we wore clothes was when we were studying. We didn't want any distractions, so we could concentrate. We were continually getting closer and closer.

We nodded off while watching a football game. When we woke up the game was over and it was approaching dinner time. We decided to get dressed and go somewhere for dinner. We thought we'd go off campus. We needed to run our SUV's once in awhile. Especially in the cold winter weather. So we both opted to drive. We knew a few restaurants we had been to before. But we wanted to go to a different restaurant. Rex was in the lead and I followed him. We had our cell phone connected so we could talk and drive. Rex told me he saw a sign for a steak house and we decided to try it out.

We walked in and a hostess seated us. The restaurant wasn't busy. Maybe a handful of customers. I thought most of the students were probably staying on campus. Many didn't have vehicles.

A waiter walked over and handed us menus and asked us if we wanted something to drink. We decided on coffee. Hot coffee would taste good. Since it was a steak house we decided on steak. Both Rex and I ordered blackened rib eye steaks, medium. Salad and our choice of potatoes were included. We both chose the double baked potato.

Our steaks were excellent. The restaurant lived up to it's name. We passed on dessert. Our steaks were big and we ate all our salad and potato. We had a refill of our coffee. Showed our student ID, left the waiter a nice tip and we left back to North Park House.

We stripped down in my room and got comfy in bed, watching tv. We didn't watch much tv. Rex and I were busy making out. Finally the late news came on and we watched that and went to sleep.

Here it was the first day of the first semester in our master classes. We woke up early. Our first class wasn't until nine so we had a couple of hours to get ready and have breakfast. We didn't have as many classes in the masters program for business and economics. But I was sure they were condensed and very intense. I couldn't wait to get started.

Rex scurried off to his room to get changed and ready for breakfast and our first masters business class. We had showered together in my room and sucked each other off. That took care of our morning woodies. Rex came back a few minutes later. He looked like an eskimo. All I saw were two eyes sticking out of his face mask. Heavy coat, scarf, boots and gloves. "You expecting a major storm with cold weather?" "No. But I don't like this cold weather. I hope spring comes early."

I finished getting ready we had our books and course outlines with us and thought we'd eat at the student union. We both had blts with coffee. Wasn't too bad. But it tasted like a lot of processed food.

When we finished breakfast, it was getting close to our first business class. So we walked over to the school of business. Walked into the classroom and greeted the same students from our undergraduate classes. Soon the teacher walked in and greeted us all and asked us if we were ready for some intensive masters work. We told him we were.

The teacher then went around talked to each of us individually. When he got to me. He asked what my work plans were. I told him my dad had a job for me when I finished my masters degree. He asked me if I knew what his plans for me were. "All my dad told me was that I would be doing the traveling for the company and acquiring more business." "Sounds like your dad has you pretty well incorporated into the business?" "Yes. Since my grandfather can't do much for the business anymore, it has put extra work on my father. That's why he will be glad when I graduate to move into the traveling part of the business and he can work from the corporate office." "I see Mason. I understand your also getting a masters degree in economics." "Yes. I thought the business and economics combination would be benefical. And give me a better background for whatever my father decided to throw at me." "Your very smart Mason and perceptive. I think you've made a wise decision. I know you and Rex study and work together." "That's correct. In fact, I encouraged Rex to also get a master degree in economics. He had planned to stick with just business." "That was a wise decision on your part. With the businesses both your parents own and operate, the combination was a wise choice." "Anything else you can share with me Mason?" "Yes. I know my father has wanted to merge Rex's fathers business with ours. And I have a feeling when we graduate, Rex and I are going to be negotiating a business deal, where our two companies are merged."

"Again, very pereceptive on your part Mason. I've read where the two companies have tried negotiating and merging without success. I think you may have the right idea about your father. I need to talk to Rex. My plans are for you two to work together during these master classes. I think both your parents have big plans for both of you. And my gut feeling is that they are going to want you two working together. To make a stronger company and acquire new business in your travels. Your masters program will be centered around that thought. Thanks for sharing the information Mason and I already have my plans ready for the both of you."

That was interesting and I wondered what the teacher had in store for me. Or I guess, for us.

Class finished and it was time for economics. The teacher told us we would be delving into advanced economic concepts and since most of were almost getting a masters in business. The economics would be geared to business.

Rex and I made it back to his room. And we talked about our classes. I let Rex go ahead. He told that the business teacher wanted us to work together, because of the nature of our parent's businesses, and the possiblity of us working together once we graduated.

We hadn't been given any homework yet. But I knew that would change soon.

The weather was starting to change and getting a bit warmer. Which was gladly accepted. Rex and I were working together. Our first assignment was to gather as much information as we could about our parents companies and then present it to the class. Most of the other students in our business class came from business families and they were doing the same. Something I had to my advantage, I had one of the business programs loaded into my laptop. I thought I heard Rex had the same on his computer. That would make our assignment a lot easier.

Economics class was geared toward our family business also. And we were learning the business aspects of economics and how it related to our family business. These classes were interesting, but required a lot of outside work. The teacher told us, this would probably take most of the first semester, before we'd be ready to give any presentations on the businesses.

The teacher was pretty close to his word. Rex and I spent all semester planning our presentation and incorparating the concepts we were being taught in business and ecomonics classes. It looked like our final would be our presentations.

Rex and I didn't have any plans for winter break. We had a lot of studying to do. And our parents never invited us for Thanksgiving or Christmas. So we thought me might visit a winter resort not too far from Dartmouth. Rex and I are not skiers, but it's never too soon to learn.

The student union prepared a special Thanksgiving dinner for the students staying on campus. And the same for Christmas. So that would work for us.

The weather was slowly getting warm and spring was approaching. New green grass looked nice against the white snow. Trees weren't stating to bud leaves yet, but it wouldn't be long.

Rex and I were putting our final touches on our presentation. This would be our first semester grade. We were already told that second semester we would incorparting economics into our presentation and showing how it related to business.

Our presentations went well and our teacher told us we had done an outstanding job. The twin sisters also received high compliments from our teacher. The other four students in our business class were going to get more coaching from our teacher. It was nice to see how he took a personal interest in each one of us.

Our economics final was pretty cut and dry. We had an essay final exam. And it took Rex and I the whole class time to finish. Our teacher looked over all our final essays. And said he was pleased with what he had seen and read so far.

Rex and I had mad plans to spend four days at the ski resort. We were trying to get our mind on something besides college. But I was wondering how that was going to work.

The ski resort was beautiful in the mountains. It was an alpine style lodge with small a-frame housing units. Our unit had a full wall fireplace with a huge flat screen tv hanging above the mantle. Everthing was wood and gave a nice warm cozy atmosphere. I thought it was pine, but I wasn't sure. The downstairs was the kitchen, dining room and living room. There was a deck out from the living room. There was also a half bath downstairs, I assume for guests. Upstairs in the loft was another living room with a master bedroom and two guest bedrooms on the other side of the hall. Everything was decorated in typical scenery in New Hampshire. We hadn't brought any school books with us and were going to try our best to stay focused on this short vacation.

Once we unpacked. We went downstairs and made sure the door was locked to our a-frame. We wanted to get naked in front of the fireplace and get down and dirty. Have just flithy sex. We both laughed when we said that. We made out on the plush rug in front of the fireplace and ended into a sixty nine. The heat from the fireplace was stimulating and arousing to us. We were both rock hard and it didn't take us long to cum. We were hungry for each other and this was a release we needed with our strenuous course work. We felt good after we came. We hugged and kissed and licked and cleaned each other off.

We went upstairs and changed and headed to the lodge for some dinner. We both thought we'd have some wild game. We both ordered stuffed duck. It was delicious and headed back to our unit. We checked our schedule and we would start ski lessons tomorrow after breakfast.

Rex and I had a hot ski instructor. He looked like a model material for GQ. He had to control ourselves and listen to the instructions and not keep staring at him. The rental and lift fees were included in our four day package. The instructor helped all six of us with the right equipment. He then started showing and demonstrating the basics. We were on the bunny hill and we all snowplowed down the little hill behind our instructor. Nobody fell. He then went on to some advancced skiing techniques. I wasn't so sure about that. But we stayed on the bunny hill. I almost fell, but regained my balance. Rex was laughing the whole time. Our instructor told us we would meet here at two after lunch.

We went through the basics again and did the same advanced techniques. Our instructor told us we did good on the first day. He probably told everybody that. And we'd meet here tomorrow at nine after breakfast.

Our four day weekend went fast. Neither Rex nor I had fallen. We had some close calls and I certainly didn't want to return to college with a cast on my leg. We finally made it to the intermediate hills. They had three intermediate hills. We used all the instructions we had been taught. Rex and I were actually skiing. Nothing fancy. But we managed to get down the hill. The two other intermediate hills used a ski lift. Our instructor showed the safety and correct procedure for using the lift. Rex and I didn't have a problem and we skied the other two intermediate hills.

We enjoyed our short ski trip and we were on our way back to Dartmouth. Rex drove and that was okay for me. I'm don't like driving in the winter. I can manage. But it's not my favorite thing.

We arrived back and got busy studying again and preparing for second semester. According to our teachers, we would be giving another major presentation. This time to a businessman. Also, businessmen would be lecturing in our classes and explaing how our business concepts we were learning with economics geared to business, were used in their businesses. I thought that would be helpful and help me give a better presentation at the end of the semester.

Our short break was helpful. But we had a lot of work to do, before second semester started and we would be finishing our first year of honors masters clases. The workload was intense and we were expected to incorporate all the new concepts the teacher presented. That made for a lot of work and research. But I liked it, as did Rex. Working together was a good idea. We could accomplish alot. Two heads are better than one.

Rex noticed a change in me. I wasn't being my regular self and more introverted. I wouldn't talk and he thought I was made at him for some reason. Rex said, "maybe it's better if we start staying in our own rooms." "I told him I was sorry. Just depressed that I never hear from my parents. We were both doing excellent in college and never hear anything." "I know Mason. I've gotten used to it. I don't expect to hear from my parents and I don't call them. I would never get a reply. They are always too busy." "I know, but doesn't that bother you?" "It used to, but I've gotten over it. Besides I have a great lover and boyfriend. What else do I need?"

"Thanks Rex. That makes me feel better. I guess I've just got to deal with it. And like you. I have a great lover and boyfriend. And we can get through this together."

Second semester started and we were busy. We needed to incorporate all the new concepts we had learned into our presentation. The presentation was expected to be like if we were working for a company and giving our information to the board to decide to if they wanted that company to merge with them. I thought that was interesting, because I knew my father wanted to merge with Rex's fathers company.

Rex and I were busy getting our presentations ready. Each of us would give our presentations. So that would be over eight days. The twins would go first followed by Rex and then me. Then the other four students in our class. I was glad we weren't going first. It would give me chance to observe the twins presentations and hear the reviews from the businessman and our teacher.

We were putting the finishing touches on our presentation. The twins would start tomorrow. The businessman was the father of the twins. And they would be presenting to his business. The first twin started and I thought she gave a very thorough presentation, using the concepts and making a very convincing presentation. When she concluded her father pointed out a few things which she could change to make the presenation even more forceful and dramatic. He left and the teacher took over. Explaining what the businessman had said. The teacher explained how a presentation to a business needs all the facts and why it's beneficial to merge with that company. Using the concepts we have learned, would make a big impact and a convincing presentation.

The second day, the other twin gave her presentation and I could notice the changes and I thought I'd merge with that company. Her father told her a good job. And he would be glad to merge with that company, of course, with the boards approval.

I received some good information and I made a few last minutes changes to my presentation. I noticed Rex doing the same thing. He was next up tomorrow.

I thought Rex's presentation went well. His dad was present and he gave him some good reviews. He told Rex that he gave a very convincing presentation and had all his facts straight. Once Rex finished they went out of the classroom to talk. I would have to ask Rex about their conversation. The teacher told us that Rex gave an excellent presentation. And used the concepts effectively that had been discussed and learned.

That gave me a couple more ideas for my presentation tomorrow. And I checked it over a couple of times and thought I was ready. I was wondering if my dad would be present for my presentation.

Here it was my big day and I was ready. I practically had my presentation memorized. And I was correct my dad was present. I couldn't be happier. It had been a long time since I'd seen my dad. I think Rex noticed a change in my demeanor. My presentation went well, at least I thought so. My dad said he was impressed with my presentation and he didn't see any reason why the board wouldn't vote to accept the merger. Like Rex and his dad. My dad and I went out in the hallway to walk for a couple of minutes.

I told dad I had been depressed, but Rex had helped get me out of my funk. He asked me why. I told them I was feeling sad and depressed because I never hear from you. He apologized and told me that many times he wanted to call, but always get interrupted. He reminded me again of grandpa and how he wasn't able to work, which doubled my dad's work load. Dad told me how proud he was of me and how I was excelling at Dartmouth. We hugged and he promised to give me a call now and then. I walked back into the classroom and the students and teacher critiqued my presentation. Everyone thought I did an excellent presentation. That had all the facts and was convincing. The teacher followed up by saying he thought my presentation had been the best so far.

The last four students did presentations to their dads also. They also received high praises and we agreed they had done excellent jobs on their presentations.

The presentations concluded and that ended our first semester of second year. We all received excellent final grades for the first semester.

We stayed at the college and started working on our masters theses. I was planning on revising my business and economics undergraduate theses and adding what I had learned from my masters classes. Rex had chosen new topics for both his business and economics theses. He was going to be busier than me. I still had plenty of work to do and research. But Rex was starting from scratch.

I then asked Rex about his quick chat with dad after his presentation. He had told Rex pretty much what my dad had told me. He was proud of Rex's accomplishments and how he was excelling at Dartmouth. He was glad Rex and I were working together and getting along well and promised to call Rex off and on. Time permitting.

Our father's held true to their words. And Rex and I started receiving phone calls from our dads. It always helped us to stay motivated and on track. And their encouragement was a big boast to our morale.

We only had to show up once a week at our business and economics class while we were busy on our theses. Mainly to inform our teachers about our progress and to review any problems we might be having. At the conclusion of the second semester. Our theses would be reviewed by the business department and economics department. They make the final decision as a team.

Time was going fast. Maybe too fast at times. We were already half way through our second semester. I felt both my theses were coming along well. Rex had a few struggles and roadblocks. And we worked together on that. And I thought Rex was making good progess. We would read parts of our theses back and forth to each other for our reaction. And see if we needed to make any changes. That seemed to work out well. Having someone else assess your work. We liked the direction our theses were going and thought we were making some powerful statements based on facts and statistics.

Our theses needed to be completed and turned in one week before the semester ended. This would give the business and economics departments enough time to review the theses of all their students. I believe there are forty masters students in the business department and fifty students in the economics department.

Rex and I were putting on the final touches to our theses and anxious to get them turned in and get our results. Then graduation and start work.

We got our theses turned in and now it was the waiting game, until the departments heads posted the results by their doors. Rex and I were not good at waiting. We tried burning energy in the gym. Walking around campus. But all we thought about was if we passed or not.

On Thursday of the week we turned in our theses, there was a big commotion in the student union. It seemed that some of the department heads were posting final results for undergraduate and graduate theses results.

I don't know whose heart was pounding the hardest, Rex or mine. We made a beeline for the school of business. It was the closest to the student union. Students were all over the place. The busiest I had ever seen it. We walked up the stairs to the second floor and down the hall to the department heads office. On the left side of his door was the undergraduate results. On the right side of his door were the graduate results. We looked down the list until we found our names. Rex and I had passed with a perfect 4.0. Now to check out the school of economics. We walked next door and it was also busy and crowded with students. We walked to the department heads door. And the same. Undergraduate on the left side and graduate results on the right side. We checked down the list until we found our names. I couldn't believe it. Two more 4.0. Rex and I were jumping around like two little kids. Now we could sleep and stop worrying. At the bottom of the list was a notice to meet with our teachers on Friday before noon. We hurried back to the school of business and checked the notice there. It said the same. Since both schools were next to each other, that would make it easy. We thought we'd head over at nine tomorrow to the school of business and when we finished to the school of economics.

We decided to treat ourselves to a good dinner off campus. This was to celebrate our 4.0.

We went to the good French restaurant again downtown in my SUV this time. However, summer was here now and the weather was excellent. We had the chateubriand for two again. It was so good the first time, we couldn't resist it again.

Friday was here and we had a good breakfast at the student union. And then headed over to the school of business. We followed the instructions to the room we were supposed to go to. That's where our teacher would be. We walked in and we were the only two there. Our teacher said most of the students came early. He sat with us and pulled out our thesis. "Gentlemen, it was a pleasure for our department to read your theses. You both did an excellent job and incorporated all the major concepts we had covered in class and were able to relate those concepts to your topic. It was an easy job for the department. Both of you will be graduating valedictorians. Only one student student in your class will be graduating salutatorian. At this time I'm not sure, but Mason, you might be giving a graduation speech. I will let you know as soon as I know. Rex you're off the hook this time. You gave a speech during your undergraduate work. Again, Mason and Rex, it has been a pleasure having you two fine young men in my class. And I know you're both going to be successful in your business/economics careers. Please keep in touch. I like to know how my students are doing. We will be keeping your theses as part of the next years handbook for graduate students.

We left like we were floating on air. We then entered the school of economics and went to our teachers room. He was finishing with a student and motioned for us to take a seat. Once he finished with the student he pulled out our theses. "What two fine young men. You guys did an excellent job on your theses and it was easy job for our department. Mason, I don't know if you have been told, but you will be giving one of the valedictorian speeches at graduation. Rex you won't have to this time. Since you gave a speech at your undergraduate graduation. I'm keeping both your theses. I want some of the information to be included in next years student handbook for graduate students. You both excelled in my class and I couldn't be prouder. I know you're going to make successful business/economics men in your careers. Please keep in touch, I like to hear from my former students. As soon as I have details, I will let you know about your graduation speech." We thanked the teacher and left the school of economics.

"Well babe. I guess we have to hang around until graduation. That should be next week."

Rex and I could relax now. It looked like most of the students were staying for graduation. It wasn't a requirement.

We got into a routine of working out before breakfast. Usually after breakfast at the student union. It was Tuesday when we came back to North Park House. The resident assistant told me he had a letter for me. We walked up to my room and I opened the envelope. It was addressed from the dean of students. The dean was thanking me for a job well done and that graduation was scheduled for Thursday at 1:00pm, at The Green. Graduation procession will begin at 12:00 noon. I would be giving the first valedictorian speech and then one of the twins would be giving the other speech.

Graduation Day approached fast and Rex and I were ready. We made it to the area to form the procession. Everyone was ready and the music started. The audience was standing. We marched in and took our seats. We had a large graduating class. It was going to be over 1000 students, representing the different schools.

Soon we were all seated as well as the guests in attendance. The dean of Dartmouth gave his speech welcoming our class and outstanding students. Then the dean of students gave a speech pointing out our graduating classes achievements. Then it was my turn to give my valedictorian speech. I didn't want to give a cliche speech. I wanted my speech to be unique to me. I talked about setting goals and I how I achieved them. I was about half way through my speech when a heckler stood up. "That's real nice talking about setting goals. But when you come from one of the richest families in the United States and probably the world. I'm sure the doors open easily for you. Money talks." "I not going to deny that I come from a wealthy family. It has it's advantages and disadvantages. Let me tell you about growing up. I never had any close friends. Friends at school and nobody I could hang out with. I didn't know if they were my friend or more interested in my money. As far as attending Dartmouth. Money doesn't open the door here. Admittance is based on your achievements and what you have accomplished. Dartmouth has a high application rate, but a very small admittance rate. They have high standards that need to be met for a very important reason. They want small class sizes where the teachers can work one on one with their students. My biggest class was economics with 10 students. My business class had eight students. Dartmouth is one of the hardest schools to be admitted too of all the Ivy League Schools." The heckler then stood up again to many boos from the audience. "Isn't true that your gay?" "I can easily answer that question. Rex would you come up here please." I whispered to him to take off his mortarboard." I then pulled him into me and give him the best kiss I could muster. He then went back to his seat with the reddest face I have ever seen on him. The whole graduating class was standing and applauding and as most of the audience. I finished my speech by thanking the heckler and thanked everyone in attendance for attending our graduation.

Next was the other valedictorian speaker. One of the twins from our business class. She looked at me and said. "Mason that took guts, but I'm glad you did it. My twin sister and I have been gay for as long as we can remember. We thank you for breaking the ice." She then went on to give a very emotional speech about growing up and the problems her and her sister faced. They only thing that saved them was understanding parents and being top achievers at school. They felt very fortunate to be accepted at Datrmouth College and they have big plans for their future. She received a standing ovation at the end of her speech and we all stood up and applauded her.

Finally the dean of Dartmouth walked to the podium. And told us that he appreciated our speeches and opening a few eyes to the reality of the world we live in. He then introduced the two salutatorians and they gave their speeches. Also, well received.

We then stood to receive our diploma or diplomas. We had all received our diplomas and the ceremony was over. I stood up in front of the graduating class and threw my mortarboard in the air as they all joined in.

We all left the stage to join our parents. I didn't know if Rex and my parents had attended. We walked off the stage and Rex spotted his parents and then I saw my parents standing with them. They all congratulated me on my speech and taking care of the heckler. They told us a big party was planned at the house. So Rex's parents followed us to the house.

As we neared the house I could see the banquet room lit up as we got closer. The chaffeur dropped us off under the canopy and we walked in followed by Rex and his parents. The banquet room was elegantly decorated with a large banner saying, "To The Best Dartmouth Graduates Mason and Rex." We mingled around. Most of the people Rex and I didn't know. Our fathers introduced us to some of their business people and members of the board. In fact, we followed them to the board room in the house. When we went in. Our fathers took over and again congratulated us on our achievements. And they told us that we would have a week off of vacation. Then the work would start. A merger meeting would be happening in two Wednesdays and we are to join in on the meeting. Also, you will be in charge of the final details if the two companies decide to merger. By that time you guy's graduation present should be finished. Rex and I looked at each other with questions on our faces.

That concludes this short meeting and let's enjoy this special occasion.

We walked out to the banquet room and ate appetizers until we were stuffed. Champagne was flowing freely. Soon the party ended and we needed to head back to the college to finish packing and moving out. Somehow our SUVs were at the house and ready for us. We got into our SUVs and waved to everyone as we left for Dartmouth.

Rex and I talked on our phones connected to our SUV's. Everything was happening fast. And we couldn't believe the responsibility our father's were putting on us about the merger. We wouldn't have much of a vacation, as we would need to do our homework on each other's companies and be ready for merger negotiations.

We arrived back at North Park House. Our heads were reeling, everything was going so quickly. We were packed and turned in our room keys to the resident assistant and thanked him for all his help. He told us our student ID's were good for one month after graduation. He said, before he forgot, he had letters for us.

I noticed a letter from the Dean of Dartmouth, another letter from the Dean of Students. A letter from the Dean of Honors Masters Program. We would read them later.

We were going back to our own homes for a couple three days and then Rex would join me at my house while we started getting our information ready.

Our parents were very pleased with our accomplishments and were glad that Rex and I wanted to work together. My father had that look on his face that he knew more than he was telling me. But I guess time would tell.

Two or three days go by quickly. My three letters said almost the same thing. The Dean of Dartmouth thanked me for my comments to the heckler and not raising my voice or playing into his hand. He was glad I stood my ground for what I believed. He also thanked me about explaining the admission process and why the standards are set so high. The Dean of Students also thanked me for setting the heckler in his place. He thought I had done an excellent job. He knew that I would be a top achiever at Darmouth and finally the Dean of the Honors Masters Program told me that he was pleased at my achievements and I only made Dartmouth that much better. The letters made me feel good and I would keep them with my other letters. If I needed inspiration, I could always reread them.

Rex arrived and I helped him get setup in my wing of the house. My dad told me he had a big surprise for both of us this coming weekend. Rex and I got in comfortable clothes and got busy on our computers. My office was big enough for the both of us. I had Albert get us another desk for Rex. We sat side by side as we worked on our computers. Taking notes. I couldn't believe how big Rex's company was. They were grossing just over a billion dollars a year. I could see why my dad was interested, because they handled parts of the business that his company was weak in. The merger would strengthen both companies. But the biggest task was getting the facts and making a convincing argument. I felt like I was back in class at Dartmouth getting a presentation ready. I now saw how everything fit in place and I had the skills and background to get this job done.

Rex knew that Mason's company was big. He just never realized how big it was. They grossed between 20 to 30 billion dollars a year. If the merger happened. It would bring our company to around 5 billion a year and increase Mason's company to close to 40 billion a year. This merger would be beneficial to both companies. I just needed to get my facts and convincing information ready to give the biggest presentation of my beginning career.

The days were going fast and the weekend approached. I wondered what our graduation surprise would be. "Babe, do you know what our graduation present is?" "I don't have a clue, my father was very vague, but said he knew we would like it."

We all get into a company limousine, even my mom. She was beaming and was very happy about something, but kept her lips sealed. My dad poured us brandy from the bar in the limousine. Rex and I weren't drinkers, but I thought that would probably be changing. I knew how the businessmen liked their drinks.

I was trying to watch where the chaffeur was taking us. It was a park of the outside of town I wasn't familiar with. We soon pulled into a private entrance. That seemed strange. A guard opened the large electric gate. With a high stone wall that went all around. The chaffeur drove down a beautiful tiled entrance with tree limbs hanging over the drive. It made a wonderful entrance to whereever we were going. It seemed like the entrance went on and on. Finally, we saw a huge mansion in Mediterranean Style. The stucco on the outside in a rich brown color. The tile roof. The mansion was spread out with a complete second floor. Two large parking areas were on each side of the entrance. There was a loop where you could drive in and then exit. I noticed a limousine already parked. The plants made this a real Meditteranean feel. Everything looked knew and fresh. The chaffeur opened our door and I helped my mom get out. We walked up to the large double door entrance and walked in. Reeves was there greeting us. We walked in and all Rex and I could say was wow, wow, wow. "Dad who lives here? I never knew this mansion existed." My dad looked at my mom and said follow us. We walked up the grand sweeping staircase to the second floor. A large banquet room greeted us and later we found out the bedrooms went around on three sides of the banquet room. Again a large banner read, "Welcome to your new home Mason and Rex." Rex and I couldn't believe it. We got weak in the knees and very emotional and had to help each other to keep standing. Soon Rex's parents joined us. There were just a handful of people. Some of them I recognized. They were some of the top businessmen at both our families businesses. We all took a seat at one of the large round tables. And a chef brought out some delicious appetizers and more champagne.

My dad started. Rex's dad and myself thought this would be the perfect graduation present. We remembered how you guys liked the Mediterranean Style. So we had our best architects design and build this house for you two. We'll go around and show you the house soon. I thought it would be good to relax for a oouple of minutes and start taking everything in. Reeves is the head housekeeper here. He's been busy working with Albert to get all the staff hired. And if I remember correctly, all your staff is hired. Reeves will then take care of the hiring and firing and training of staff. Winston will still be your chaffeur and Rex your personal chaffeur is here too. You both will have your personal valets. You have a head gardener and a head pool cleaner. The maids will take care of the daily cleaning. You have three chefs. The head chef that oversees the kitchen. A salad and dessert chef. My dad looked at Rex's dad and asked him if he left anything out. He shook his head no. Let's get a refill on this delicious champagne and start the house tour. Our mom's joined us. And told us if we needed any help in planning parties to be sure to let them know. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Our parents were actually going to be spending time with us.

Since we're on the second floor. Let's look around. You can see the built in bar for when you have parties here in the banquet room. This room can easily handle between 100-150 people. Depending on the seating arrangement. I also noticed that the banquest room could be set up for meetings. I noticed a white board. Projection screen and podium. We then went down the hallway on the left. There were two huge master bedrooms. Beautifully decorated. Followed by four smaller bedroosm. But still tastefully decorated and designed. The smaller bedrooms were adjoining. All the bedrooms had there own en suite bathroom. Everything was of the highest quality. I knew a lot of the stone and tiles were imported. The hallway on the right side was set up the same way. So we had four master bedroom and eight smaller bedrooms. I asked dad where our bedroom was? "Don't worry, we'll be getting to that soon.

We walked down the long winding staircase. Rex and I were introduced to the kitchen staff. The kitchen was huge with imported marble everywhere. Two of the largest refrigerators I had ever seen. And a stove that I didn't even know came in that size. There was a small informal breakfast dining room. The formal dining room was right off the kitchen. The dining room could hold twenty people. With four large imported chandeliers from the ceiling. Sideboards and china cabinets were already installed and stocked full of whatever. Don't ask me what was inside them. I had no clue. There was a short hallway before coming to the large living room. The hallway had quest bathrooms for him and her. The living room was big. Again all stucco with a full wall fireplace which would feel good in the winter. Dad told us all the blinds and curtains were electronic. Also, all the floors in the house were heated, which would be a nice convenience in the winter. Sliding glass doors opened to large covered patio. With a built in kitchen center, complete with barbeque, refrigerator and bar. A stone pathway made its way down to the pool. It wasn't really a pool. It looked more like a lagoon. Waterfalls over rocks and it even had a grotto behind the big waterfall. Two places where you could dive into the pool. Also an attached hot tub jacuzzi. And a changing building. Lush plants were all around and looked like they had been there forever. We noticed the high stone security wall going all around the property. The property seemed to go on for ever. We walked around a little more and there was a pergola with a fire pit. We walked back in and to the far left side of the house. This was our master bedroom and what a master bedroom. The bed was an oversized king. Two walkin closets with humidity controls already stocked with Armani business suits, dinner jackets and formal attire. A large changing room and a sitting area in our bedroom. Two large dressers with mirrors. Our moms said the dressers were aleady full of clothes. All in European Mediterranean style. The master bathroom. Had a huge walkin shower. Everything was in a nice warm brown marble tones. A steam room and a large jacuzzi tub. We had his and his sinks which would make it easy in the morning getting ready for work. When you left our bedroom was a hallway with our offices. It was one large room, but set up for an office. Two desks. Our dads told us that while we were talking our things were being brought over. And a couple of IT men from the business would be setting up our computers and downloading the business programs that we would need. A door went outside just before the kitchen. To a beautiful sunroom. It was full of all kinds of tropical plants. I noticed a humifier going to control the climate for the plants. Overstuffed chairs and sofas were in the sunroom. It was a very comfortable place and a nice place to relax after a busy day at work.

We then walked back outside from the living room. Dad showed us the poolhouse with an outside shower. We then followed a stone path off from the pool area. This brought us to the tennis court. A baseball field that could be converted into a football field. I noticed bleachers and a scoreboard. The courts were lighted so they could be used at night.

We walked back in and went downstairs to a complete basement. It looked like another floor in the house. Plush carpeting crunched under our feet. There was a large laundry area sectioned off. We had a small two lane bowling alley with a scoreboard. A game room with two billiard tables, foosball, and pinball machines lining the walls. We had a theater room downstairs that could hold fifteen people with a concession stand and popcorn machine. The gym was big and fully loaded with all the latest high tech exercise equipment. Rex and I knew we would be spending time down here. The gym also had a changing room and showers.

Our dads looked at each other and while we were walking upstairs. They told us there was a 20 stall garage underground. Two new company limousines are already parked in the garage. The keys are in your dressers in your bedroom. We also have a new Bombardier Challenger 650 jet for your traveling. Since you two men will be doing most of the traveling for the business. It holds ten passengers with a meeting room, dining room, guest bathroom and bedroom. There is also a gourment galley and your own flight crew. Also, we have a company yacht that is being completed for you. Which is a nice way to entertain businessmen and make a favorable impression. "Do you men have any questions?" "No, but this is overwhelming and a lot to take in, in one day." "We realize that, but we needed to go over everything since time is a factor."

Reeves interrupted us and told us our things had arrived.

Rex and I asked our dads where the staff stayed. "We forgot to show you. But when you walk to the tennis court. There is a stone path that leads you to the staff quarters. The house can hold forty staff. Presently your at twenty five, but if the need arises in the future for more staff, you have plenty of room. All the staff like ours receive life insurance and all medical insurance are paid 100% with the health plan. Also, social security is withheld and they can pay into an IRA account if they choose to do so. We appreciate our staff and want them to feel like part of the family. Our accountants take care of the staff, so there's nothing you two have to do.

"Oh yes, before I forget. There's one other room downstairs I forgot to mention." We walked into a dark wooden room. This was a humidity controlled wine cellar and smoking room. With humidors and high back leather sitting chairs for a good smoke and a glass of wine.

"Well men, I think it's time for us to leave and let you start enjoying your new house. Let the IT men get your office setup and finish getting your things put away. The chaffeurs will park your SUVs in the underground garage. Mason, all your cars are in the garage. Oh, Rex, you have a new Navigator and BMW SUV. Sports cars we can purchase later, when you give us your preference.

We gave our dads hugs and hugged and kissed our mom's on the cheek. And told them we had a lot to take in and get used to. And then we needed to get to work. Wednesday was coming fast. And thanked them many times for an over the top graduation present.

We all walked to the entrance and watched our parents leave.

"Wow babe, what do you think?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I think I'm still in a state of shock. I never expected anything like this." "I know Rex, but I think it shows our parents have high expectations for us. And appreciate our achievements."

Reeves told us the IT men were busy in the office if we wanted to check in on them. He also told us that our SUVs were stowed in the garage and our clothes and personal items were being put away as we talked. He introduced us to our two personal valets and they went back to our bedroom to finish putting everything away.

"Rex do you realize we're only 23 years old and look at where we're at." "I know Mason, I've been thinking the same thing. I don't feel 23, I feel more like 33. I guess we act older than our age."

We walked into the office and it looked like the IT men were finishing. They told they should be finished in a few minutes, if we wanted to wait and they could show us the new programs that had been downloaded. They told us we had high speed internet on a router to make our large programs run fast. We waited around and it was fun watching them work. They knew their stuff and worked good together. Soon they were finished and asked Rex and I take a seat. They each showed us the new programs. And some of the special features. It looked similar to what we had used at Dartmouth. We thanked them and they left.

We went out and told Reeves we would like something light to eat in the sunroom with coffee. "Very good sirs. Consider it done."

Rex and I walked back to our bedroom first and checked out everything. We didn't see our valets, but noticed all our clothes were hanging in our walkin closets and our dressers were fully stocked. The vanities in the bathroom had all our personal toiletries. I noticed the shower had dispensers like in a hotel for shampoo, body wash, and hair conditioner.

We walked into the sunroom and one of the maids was getting a table ready for us. We introduced ourselves and she seemed a little nervous. We told her to relax and she was doing fine. Soon one of the chefs brought in our lunch. It was perfect. Some kind of delicious finger sandwiches with a beef consomme. This was the perfect snack for us. The coffee was excellent. Probably some gourmet brand of coffee.

We finished our snack and thought we should do a little work in our new office. We had to take another walk around the house. We were still in a state of shock. This house was perfect for us. And it was our dream house. We had mentioned off and on how we liked the Mediterranean Style, but it was only in passing. We never thought it would become a reality. We ended our tour back at our office. We got out our notes and with the two new programs installed. Our work went much faster.

Over the weekend we enjoyed the amenities of the house. We used the gym and really liked the way it was set up. Reeves mentioned to me that Higgins was wondering if I still wanted him as my personal trainer and I told Reeves to let him know that for sure I wanted to keep having him as my trainer. I told Reeves to mention to Higgins that Rex was now living here and if he could help Rex out too. Maybe give us both massages. That brought a smile to my face.

We had some great gourment meals. The chef was excellent and we ate in the small dining room. Our staff seemed to be adjusting well to us and this big mansion. Everyone was efficient and Reeves told us everything was going like clock work. At least I didn't have Albert here calling me, "Master Bates."

We continued working on our presentations and the benefits of the merger. I received an email from dad stating that the meeting would be at ten in the morning this coming Wednesday and would last until however long it took to work everything out. Rex told me he received a similar email from his dad.

We left the office and walked into our bedroom. I wanted to find the limousine keys in my dresser. Rex found his and I found mine tucked away underneath some clothes. We handed our keys to Reeves. We told them the keys were for the two company limousines in the garage. He told us they had a special locked box for our keys and these would be added.

Rex and I had our valets lay out a couple of speedos and we thought we'd relax down by the pool. This would be our first time by the pool. The valets asked us if we wanted them to undress us and put on speedos. Rex and I smiled at each other and we told them to go for it. They seemed to like that idea. I remembered how I used to tease Reeves. Now we had two knew valets to tease. They carefully took all our clothes off and I noticed Rex was plump but not hard. His valet kept staring at him. Until he noticed me looking at him. My valet was busy stuffing my junk into my speedo. He seemed to be having a hard time. (No pun intended.) I was bulging my speedo by the time we finished. The valets handed us some plush towels and we walked down to the pool. Reeves asked us if we wanted something to drink. We told him a glass of white wine.

It was dusk by the time we arrived at the pool. The outside solar lights were starting to come on, giving a nice glow to the outside. It was a nice evening. But we knew the weather at this time of the year could start changing quickly. We laid out towels on pool loungers. Kicked off our flip flops and dove into the pool. The water was perfect. I could tell the heaters were on. We swam to the large waterfall and ducked under and swam into the grotto. The grotto had two stone benches on each side. You could dangle your feet in the water while you sat on a stone bench. It was a nice feature. And I knew Rex and I would spend a lot of time in the grotto. It was private and away from prying eyes. So we could do what we wanted. I don't think the staff would mind if we went around naked. But I didn't think it was a good idea. Especially with the female staff members.

Finally we swam out of the grotto to the shallow end and walked up to the steps and back to our loungers. We sipped on our wine and looked around. We still had a hard time believing this wonderful house belonged to us. We couldn't thank our parents enough.

The next few days our weather made a complete 360 degree change. Winter came in with a blast. And Reeves made sure the heat was on, on the floors. That really felt good when you woke up in the morning. Our bed was super comfy and sometimes it was hard to get up and out of bed. We had initiated our bed with over three hours of making out and ending in a sixty nine. We were tossing around the idea of some more anal fun. But so far nothing had materalized.

Wednesday was fast approaching. And Rex and I reviewed our notes and made copies of our presentations for the board members in attendance. Not a complete copy of our reports, but the most important points that we would be elaborating on.

Our big day had arrived. I was anxious and ready for this. I felt well prepared. Our Dartmouth teachers really knew what they were doing. Rex said he felt ready and couldn't wait to see how the day turned out.

Rex had his chaffeur bring out one of the company limousines. And soon we were on our way to our first business presentation. We wore new Armani suits and we looked hot and professional. Also, an overcoat with the cold weather. Scarf and gloves. We opted out of wearing a hat. I'm not big on hats, unless it's really cold and the wind is blowing. Rex told me the same thing. He never liked wearing hats and his mom would get after him to wear a hat when it was cold outside.

We arrived at my dad's office complex. It was a six story office building. I saw another six story office building being constructed right next to my dads.

We walked in. I knew some of the staff and we went up the elevator to my dads floor. Which of course was the sixth floor. It looked like some of the board members were milling around and talking. My dad spotted us and asked if we were ready. We told him were as ready as we would be. Rex saw his dad with some of his board members and we all headed into the board room. Rex, his dad and board members sat on one side of the table. While my dad, myself and board members sat across from Rex and their team.

My dad started the meeting and thanked everyone for taking the time on this important meeting. He told us he was proud to introduce Rex and Mason as our newest junior partners who would be concluding this meeting. Then Rex's dad started his talk and told us all how this meeting had been mentioned and juggled around a lot without any serious decisions being made. Hopefully, today a final decision would be made.

Our dads and board members went back and forth for a few minutes with basics of the two companies. Finally all eyes were drawn to Rex and me to take over. I handed my copies to everyone in attendance. I told them I would be filling in the missing information. I went over the general information of our business. Rex had made copies also, they were passed around to everyone. He also laid out the general information of their company. My dad then spoke up and said if it was okay with everyone. I think Rex and Mason should duke this out and see what kind of a decision they come to. We can then meet after they tell us their decision. And do a vote. They all agreed and left the board room.

That left just Rex and me across the table from each other. Rex, I'll go ahead and start. Interrupt any time you feel you need to. We knew each other style of presenting very well. After working together for four years, we should. I handed Rex my detailed projections after the merger. I pointed out the major changes to both companies and how much more we would gross by merging. The benefits to our company and the benefits to his company. Rex looked over my projections carefully before saying anything. "Interesting Mason. I came up with the same projections if we merger."

"So what do you think Rex? Do you think your company would want to merge, given the projection information?"

"I think it's a no brainer Mason. You've done your homework. The benefits to both companies with the merger is very beneficial and I think we should present our results to the board and get a vote."

Rex and I shook hands. Walked around to each other, hugged and kissed and walked out of the board room. To announce that we had reached a decision and was ready to present it for the board to vote.

Everyone walked back in and took a seat. Rex told me to go ahead. I handed out my detailed projections for the first year after the merge. I gave everyone a couple of minutes to look it over. Then I began. Rex and I talked and tossed around some different ideas. But when it came to the facts and the projections. We both basically came up with same results. Given the way a merger would be beneficial to both companies, I think the decision is obvious and a merger of the two companies should happen. Now we're ready for any questions."

A board member for Rex's company spoke up. You've done an excellent job on your projections Mason. Are you sure you're only 23 years old?" "I'm quite certain sir. And I hope you like what you see and will vote for a merger?"

Another board member of Rex's company spoke up. "If we agree on this merger, where would our offices be located. It seems we would need to be close to your company Mason?"

My dad spoke up. "If you look out the window, you'll see a new six story office building going up. That would house your company and be right next to ours." That seemed to send a good note to Rex's company. "Someone else spoke up and asked what the new company would be called if we merged?"

Rex and I talked about that and agreed on Bates and Granger Inc. Again that raised some eyebrows and some muttering between the board members. Rex and his dad and board members asked if they could have a few private minutes.

We left them alone. While we waited outside the boardroom. My dad and his board members said they were pleased with the work I put into this merge. They all told me they would agree to the merge. Soon Rex poked his head out and said they were ready.

Rex spoke for his company and said they all agreed that merge would be in the best interest for both companies. They said that Rex and I had done our homework and made a presentation that showed unusual maturity for our age and being our first business presentation. We had agreed on a 60-40 merger. Meaning my company would gain 60% and Rex's company would gain 40%. We had to put in a good word for Dartmouth and told them we had had excellent teachers at Dartmouth that took an interest in their students and we felt we were well prepared. Again the board member said. "It definitely shows maturity and a good business sense."

Finally I spoke up. "Is everyone ready to vote on this merger?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Okay I'll do the count. Everyone in favor of the merger raise your hand. Everyone raised their hands and it was an unamimous agreement for the merger.

My dad got up and passed drinks around to everyone while we stood and talked and shook hands. We sat back down and my dad took over. "As far as the transition. The new building next door, should be finished by the end of the month. And then you'll be able to move in and get set up. I'll take care of new business cards. Does anyone have any questions?" Nobody said anything. Everyone left the board room with smiles on their faces. Our dads pulled us aside and told us they knew we could pull this off. And like everyone else. They said we showed maturity beyond our years and only expected great things from us.

After the merger and Rex's company got moved in. We had a meeting with our dad's. We wondered what was up. If we had done something wrong. My dad said. "Okay you guys. You don't need to look worried. We just have a few things to pass on. Your new offices will be in our building Mason. On the top floor. We already had the office space reserved for you two. And your dad approves this Rex. Also, your starting salary will be $500,000 per year. Each new merger you acquire will raise your salary by another $500,000. We have prepared a printout for you two. This is list of companies that would be beneficial for Bates & Granger to merge with and also companies that have merged, but would like you two to check on. Your jobs will be to do the traveling for both companies and do your fantastic presentations and get more companies to merge with us. We think a $500,000 paycheck is a good incentive. Right now you two men need to get settled into your new offices. Then you deserve a couple weeks off before you start working on the next merger."

We all got up and shook hands. And both our dads said they expect great things from us. And this merger shows we have the drive and ambition to do the job.

Our dads took us to our new offices. They were joined into one large office. Everything looked in order. We had new computers. Filing cabinets, even though we would be doing mostly desktop filing. And we had a personal secretary that would take care of calls and make our travel plans.

Our dads had previously told us that our jet had a hotline directly connected to our dad's offices. Besides we could also connect on our computers and use our cell phones for conference calls. We mentioned to the men working in our office. That we wanted our diplomas mounted on the wall, along with some very important letters. They said to bring in the information and they would make sure it got mounted on the wall. I noticed the new business cards on my desk. They sure looked nice. Also our names were on our desk set. And our names were on the outside of our office door.

Our office looked nice once the workers finished. Our diplomas hung on the wall behind our desk chairs. They had arranged our letters in hanging display cases that were lighted. The art in our office was good taste. We really liked our office and knew it would work out perfect for us. We had large windows that looked out to some beautiful views. Electric blinds to close if the sun got too intense and made it hard to work.

With the holidays approaching we told our dads we wouldn't do any traveling until after New Years. They agreed that was probably a good idea. That didn't stop us from working. Our first company on our list was in Australia. According to the notes from our dads, they had expressed an interest in merging some time ago. So we thought that might make our job easier. We started our research on the company and started gathering as much information as we could.

Rex and I had talked to our mothers and thought Christmas would be a good time for an open house and get married. Our mothers were excited about that news and told us to leave everything to them. They would take care of everything. Same sex marriage had been legal in our state for some time. And Rex and I thought this would be the perfect time. It was going to be a surprise for our dads. They wouldn't be told until the wedding actually happened. Rex and I were excited and so much in love. It was the obvious thing to do. We worked so well together and our parents were so proud of us.

We thought this would be the perfect time to write some emails to Dartmouth. We worked out a form letter and sent it off to the Dean of Dartmouth, Dean of Students, Mrs. Sherman, our advisors, teachers and Dean of Honors Masters Classes. We also invited them to our wedding with the date, time and location. Whether they showed or not, at least they knew they were welcome.

We had Thanksgiving at our house and of course our parents were invited. Rex's parents stayed at our house. They had a one hundred mile drive back to their place. Even with the chaffeur, they didn't like the long drive in the winter. It seemed strange that just a few days ago, we were lounging at the pool. Now the pool was drained and covered. A light dusting of snow covered the ground.

Thanksgiving was hit and our head chef did an excellent job. Everyone complimented him on the dinner. We had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a couple of casseroles he made that were traditional. For dessert we had pumpkin pie with real whipped cream. This was the first time we used our formal dining room and it worked out perfect. Our staff did an excellent job of serving and our silver was used as serving dishes. Elegant crystal glassware and monogramed silverware make a nice place setting. Along with chargers under our monogramed dinner plates. The chairs were covered with a Thanksgiving theme and a large Thanksgiving table runner went done the center of the table. Along with a Thanksgiving arrangement in the center of the table. The lights had been dimmed and candles lit. This made a nice atmosphere for dinner.

Once we finished dinner we retired to the living room and had an after dinner drink. Our staff was very professional and everything went smoothly.

Now Christmas was approaching and our Christmas present from our families was our wedding. They were planning everything. Our Christmas present to our parents was a trip to the Bahamas. I had heard my parents mentioning going there many times. Our private secretary set up all the arrangements. They would use a company jet and stay in a private bungalow.

Rex and I were getting nervous with our wedding soon approaching. We wanted everything to go without a hitch. Our mothers assured us that they had everything under control and not to worry about anything. Many of our companies would be attending the weddding. Rex and I wondered if anyone from Dartmouth would attend our wedding. Anymore traveling any distance was asked to notify us ahead of time. So we could have guest rooms ready for them. With four master bedrooms and eight standard guest rooms we had plenty of space for guests.

Our wedding was only two weeks away. We had received our tuxedos for the wedding. They had been picked out by our mothers and tailor made. No doubt Armani. The tuxes were in a cream color and we really liked the color. We would have a white rose in the lapel. The banquet hall at my parents house would be setup for the wedding. Our banquet hall was already starting to be prepared for the reception. If everyone showed for the wedding, we would have close to sixty people. By the end of the week we had heard from the people at Dartmouth we had emailed. They all planned on attending our wedding. Rex and I were glad they accepted. We notified the staff to make sure the master bedrooms were ready for our guests. We thought we'd treat them to first class bedrooms. Nothing to good for our Dartmouth friends.

Here it was the week of our wedding. Rex and I tried doing different things to stay calm. We worked out a lot and ate a lot of comfort food. I think we were starting to make some of the staff nervous with our walking around and checking everything every couple of minutes. Our house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Our moms had taken care of that also. The day before the wedding our Dartmouth guests arrived. We greeted them and they loved our house. It gave us a little time to talk before the wedding. We spent most of our time in the sunroom. Many flowers were blooming and the aroma was magnificent. They told me specifically that my graduation speech made a huge impact on the college. A group of students started an LGBTQ chapter on campus and have great success. Many straight students have also joined to widen their horizons. We also included some phrases from your graduation speech in the both the undergraduate and graduate handbooks. And our admittance staff is getting flooded with applications to Dartmouth. Also, the student body in general is still talking about your speech Mason. I don't think you realized what a strong impact you had. They way you handled that heckler was superb and very professional. We get business weekly at the college and you two were featured in one of their issues. Also, mentioning Dartmouth College also made more interest in our fine college. We could't be prouder of both of you. You are fine examples with the kind of professionals we produce. Already junior partners at 23 years old. Landing your first merger with two very powerful companies, is a tribute to you both and the education you received. We could go and on. We were so pleased to receive the invitation to your wedding. We thought maybe you had forgot about us. We wouldn't have missed this for the world. We finished our drinks and the Dartmouth faculty were getting tired after their long drive. We had the staff take them to their rooms.

Here it was our wedding day. We were having our Dartmouth guests driven to my parents house in one of our limousines. Rex and I would go in the other limousine. The banquet room looked perfect and ready for our reception. I couldn't wait to see the banquet room at my parents house for our wedding. I was wondering how it was decorated.

Our Dartmouth friends really liked their master bedrooms. They made us promise to give them a tour of the house.

We were all loaded into the limousines. Rex and I went first. We were dressed in our cream colored suits. And I was right. They were Armani.

We pulled up in front of my parents house under the canopy and the chaffeur opened the door for us and then the second limousine pulled under the canopy and our Dartmouth friends got out. We walked up the long staircase to the entrance. Albert was there and I was hoping he wouldn't say what he usually does. But Albert being Albert, I don't think he could resist. "Master Bates, you like very smart and congratulations on getting married." Rex couldn't stop chuckling until I pinched his arm and he shut up.

Our moms were right there and putting a white rose into our lapel. They asked us if we were ready and we told them as ready as we could be.

Everyone was already seated in the banquet room. There was an aisle betwen the rows of chairs. It looked like every chair was taken. The chairs facing the aisle were decorated with white rose sprays. A big arch in front for the wedding was decorated with white roses. As we walked in everyone stood up and the music started. Here it was our wedding. We walked down the aisle and to the front where the minister was located. We couldn't be married in our religion, because same sex marriage was prohibited. But we didn't care. We stood in front looking at each. Our parents were behind us on each side. The minister began the ceremony. We had our vows for each other memorized and shared our heartfelt feelings for each other. The minister proclaimed us husband and husband. We kissed and walked out. The whole wedding had been filmed by a local tv station and a photographer was busy taking photos for a popular wedding magazine. We walked back out to the applause of everyone in attendance. My father announced the reception would be held at our house and to just follow the car in front of you.

As we got close to our house. The Christmas lights looked wonderful. With the skiff of snow we had received, the lights sparkled and reflecting from the snow. The lights in the reception room shone bright and looked very festive. When we got out of the limousine we could hear music playing. We walked up to the front and Reeves opened the front doors for all of us. Our parents led the way to the banquet room. There was already a crowd of people and when we entered everyone started clapping and cheering. We were escorted to our reserved table. One parents sat on each side of us. A band was playing and I noticed the buffet was being setup. It looked like prepared individual servings.

Soon my father motioned to the band to stop and he clinked his glass to get everyones attention. He thanked everyone here for attending a very special wedding. My father then went on to explain our growing up and how we became best of friends when we attended Dartmouth College. How we excelled in our studies and are now junior partners of the merged Bates and Granger companies. Now called Bates & Granger Inc. These two fine young men convinced our board of directors that the merge was the right direction to go. They had done their homework and the benefits of the merger were clearly explained. It was a unanimous vote of approval for the merger. Both myself and Rex's parents expect great things from these two young men. They will be do our traveling and acquiring more companies. How smoothly they work together, I know they can accomplish anything. Please give a warm applause to Mason and Rex. We stood up and then sat back down again.

Rexs father spoke next. Reiterating many things my father had said. He went on to explain how pleased he was with the merger and how well the two companies worked together. The transition went very smoothly. I know these two young men are going to accomplish many great things for our merged company. He then sat down to a nice round of applause.

Then unexpectedly the Dean of Dartmouth gave a short speech. Reviewing our accomplishments at Dartmouth and in our short four years, changes we made to the school. Some of which Rex and I were not even aware of. Finally the dean concluded by stating that the board of directors of the college would be honored if Mason and Rex would consider being members of our distinquished board of directors. I have letters for both young men from our chairman of the board. The letter explains why they were selected and other information related to the board. Mainly what the board of directors responsibility is. I sincerely hope they consider this honor from the college. It's the least we can do for two fine examples of students that graduated from Dartmouth.

Finally my dad stood up again and told everyone that the dinner was ready. We would be served at our tables.

Soon the waiters started coming around. We were served first along with our parents. Rex and I had lobster. Everyone was served seafood of there choice. I hoped everyone liked seafood. We had white wine with our dinner. But before we started eating. My dad stood up and made a toast. We had been served champagne and everyone stood and we drank our champagne. Rexs dad was next and gave toast, another flute of champagne. Finally the Dean of Students gave a toast and another flute of champagne. We all then sat down and enjoyed our dinner. Once everyone had finished. The dinner dishes were cleared and dessert was brought out. And the biggest and prettiest wedding cake was wheeled in. There were a lots of oohs and aahs. The pastry chef started cutting the cake and it was passed around to us first and then all the guests. It was some kind of butter vanilla cake. It was delicious. Rex and I would have to hit the gym hard.

Finally everyone was finished eating and the music started. Rex's dad stood up and announced that Mason and Rex would dance first followed by everyone else after. The music we had selected was played. "You are my Everything." The band played it wonderfully and Rex and I danced like we had been dancing forever. The music finished to a nice round of applause. Then the band started up again. And couples took the dance floor. Rex and I mingled around and started talking to everyone in attendance. Soon the reception was starting to wind down and people were starting to leave. Finally it was just our parents and the guests from Dartmouth. They would be staying another day.

Our Dartmouth friends went upstairs to change into some winter clothes. We were going to start the tour of the house outside first while it was still light outside. I told Reeves to have the patio heaters turned on.

Our parents waited on the guests. Rex's parents were staying with my parents for Christmas and then leaving the day after Christmas. While we were waiting. I pulled my dad aside. "Dad, with the merge complete, do you know what Rexs parents are planning. They still going to live in their home and make the 100 mile commute, or consider rebuilding and locating closer to work?" "Mason, your amazing. You're always thinking about other people. All I know right know is that they're kicking around some different possibilites. If they did decide to relocate, that's work related and paid for by our merged company. Just like you and Rexs house was paid for by the company. That's all I know right now. But when I receive more information, I'll be sure to let you know.

Our guests came downstairs in some warm winter clothes. They shook hands with our parents and thanked them for having two wonderful sons.

Our parents left and we walked outside through the living room. We did a quick outside tour. The wind was blowing hard and it was cold out. The patio heaters helped a little. We kept the outside hot tub going and you could see the steam rising. We liked using in the winter and with the patio heaters, it made it comfortable. We showed them around the lagoon and then took the path to the tennis court and baseball/football field. They liked the bleachers and scoreboard. We were ready to get back inside the warm house. One of the staff had a nice cozy fire going in the fireplace. They went back upstairs and changed out of their winter clothes. We didn't follow them upstairs.

Soon we heard them coming back downstairs. "You ready to see the rest of the house?" "We certainly are."

"You're familiar with the second floor, that has the guest bedrooms and the banquet room. According to our parents the banquet room can accommodate between 100 to 150 people, depending on the seating arrangement. It has a built in bar and can be converted into a meeting room.

We then slowly showed them around the rest of the house, so they could take everything in. "Well Mason and Rex, you two have quite a home here. We all like the Mediterranean Style."

"Our parents overheard Rex and I talking one time and how we liked the Meditteranean feel. The warm colors."

We ended in the sunroom and thought we sit there and relax for a few minutes and then go to the living room. I think Reeves had turned on the sound system. And some nice background music was playing. The control tablet would let you decide what rooms you wanted to listen to music. Reeves came in the sunroom and asked us if we would like something to drink. We all told him a glass of champagne would be good. Soon a cute litte maid came in with our flutes of champagne. The champagne was very good. And we all decided to go to the living room. The same music was playing and the lights were dimmed in the living room. Letting the glow from the fireplace illuminate the large room. "We are all amazed at the changes that have happened so quickly in your young lives and how well you've adjusted and adapted."

"We knew as soon as we met that first day at Dartmouth that something special was going to happen between us. We had a mutual attraction for each other and everything just clicked and fell into place."

"It sure has. You two make a very handsome couple. You're already starting out successfully in your careers and we only see it getting better and better for the both of you. Can we get a refill with this wonderful champagne?"

"Of course. I pressed a button in the living room and Reeves was there immediately."

"Yes sir." "We would all like another round of the champagne."

"How do you feel about the wedding?" I think it was the perfect culmination to the rest of our lives together. Our parents couldn't have given us a better Christmas present."

"Thank you for inviting us, Mason and Rex. I think we should retire for the evening. We have a long drive tomorrow and winter weather can be tricky. Oh by the way, where are our cars?"

"I had our chaffeurs park them in the underground garage. They are out of the winter weather in a heated garage. They have cleaned your cars and put in fresh air freshener. Also, you have a full tank of high test gas. We have our own gasoline pump in the garage. Our chaffeurs will bring your cars to the front tomorrow morning for you when you're ready to leave.

"Thank you. That was very thoughtful. But I think we should get to bed and get a good rest for tomorrow."

"Do you need any help or anything else?"

"No, you two have done enough. Good night and we'll see you in the morning."

Before Rex and I retired to our bedroom, I told Reeves I wanted the head chef to fix a very special gourmet breakfast for our guests.

Rex and I walked arm in arm to our master bedroom. We couldn't be happier. We kept rehashing the wedding and the reception. We also were happy to see how well our parents got along. It was important for the merger to be successful. Rex and I knew we had the perfect Christmas present for them.

Our valets were putting the finishing touches on our bedroom and asked us if there was anyting else they could help with. I thought I saw a smirk on their faces. We told them no and would see them in the morning. I think they left a little disappointed. They would probably wanted to help us undress.

Rex and I helped each other get undressed and laid out clothes on a couple of chairs in our bedroom. The valets could take care of the clothes later.

We slipped into bed naked and felt the warmth of each other's bodies rubbing together. We kissed and made out and told each other how much we loved each other. Rex reached over and turned the lights off and we fell asleep in each other's arms. We woke up all tangled together. Our morning woodies rubbing and hitting together. We needed to do something about that. We moved around into a sixty nine and deep throated and massaged each other's shafts with our tongues and throats and soon were rocketing out a couple of big loads. We sucked out the last drops and gave each other a cum kiss and headed to the shower. We took a hot steamy shower washing each other. We dried each other off and walked into the bedroom. We heard a knock on our bedroom door and quickly wrapped the towels around us. I went to the door and it was our personal valets asking if we needed anything. We told them they could lay out our clothes for today. They seemed pleased to be able to do that. Probably hoping to get a good look at us naked.

I gave Rex a mischievous wink. And when our valets came back with our clothes, we were finishing drying ourselves off naked. I knew the valets were giving us quick glances. "Excuse me sirs, would you like us to dress you?"

"Yes that would be perfect." I saw them smile. They started with our underwear. They had brought out white briefs. I lifted a foot so he could slide the briefs on. My cock was hitting the top of his head and as he moved the briefs up, my cock was sliding down his body. He looked like he was in a trance. Finally he got everything tucked into my briefs with a noticeable bulge. He then finished getting me dressed. I saw Rex doing some rather sexy things with his valet also. Soon we were dressed and the valets make sure our clothes were on perfectly. We told them that was all we needed and they left. As soon as they left the bedroom, we started laughing. "We're going to have fun with them."

We walked out and met our guests. They were dressed and in the living room. "I hope you all slept well?"

"These beds are very comfortable and I could have spent the whole day in bed. Unfortunately, we have a long drive to look forward to. We checked the weather and no storms are predicted. So we should have good driving conditions."

Reeves came to the living room and told us that breakfast was ready. We all walked into the formal dining room. And two servers were waiting for us. The chef had prepared Eggs Benedict and Bananas Foster Belgian Waffles. Everyone enjoyed the delicious breakfast. We had fresh squeezed orange juice and black coffee. We had a pleasant conversation and then the guests thought they should be leaving. The weather can change quickly and they wanted to get home safe and sound.

I told Reeves to have the chaffeurs bring their cars to the front. I also had Reeves take care of buying Christmas presents for our guests. Rex and I had wine, cheese, and cracker gift sets made for each couple.

The staff was helping our guests with their bags. And they thanked us again for a wonderful time and inviting them. As they left we handed them their gift baskets. They thanked us again as we watched them leave and waved.

We quickly got back inside the warm house. It was cold outside and still windy. But it wasn't snowing and snow wasn't in the forecast.

Here it was Christmas Eve and we were staying home. Our wedding and reception were over the top and we couldn't thank our parents enough. Rex and I exchanged gold wedding rings at our ceremony. These weren't friendship rings, these were the real deal. They were eighteen carat gold nugget rings with a large diamond in the center. Signifying our love for each other. We had the inside of the band inscribed. "All my love for Rex, forever. All my love for Mason, forever."

We had Reeves get the banquet room setup for our staff Christmas party. He was running around like a chicken with his head cut off. Finally, almost out of breath, he told us the banquet room was ready. Rex and I were dressed casual and we walked up to the banquet room. Everyone was seated and anxious. They probably thought they had done something wrong. Rex and I stood up front and assured everyone in attendance that they had done nothing wrong. Many let out a sigh of relief. The reason for this meeting. Is to have an impromptu Christmas party for you. As you know we've had a lot happen to us in a short period of time. But we wanted to show you our appreciation for all that you do. Reeves wheeled in cart loaded with envelopes. As Reeves knows this has been a tradition at my parents house. And Rex said they also had a staff Christmas party at their house. The names were on the envelopes and Rex and I took turns handing them out. Each envelope contained $5,000 per employee. Once the envelopes had all been passed out. Then it was time for the toys for the employees with families and children. Again Rex and I went back and forth handing out the toys. Once that was finished. The pastry chef rolled out a large cake decorated for Christmas with homemade vanilla ice cream. We had eggnog with our cake and ice cream. Left over cake was packaged for the employees. Again we apologized for not making this a better Christmas party. But we will make up for it next year. Some of the ladies were crying they were so happy. And thank you all for your hard work. It's really appreciated, even though we may not always show it. We have a Christmas dinner now to get ready for. Stay up here in the banquet room as long as want and I'm sure Reeves has given you copies of your holiday schedules for the rest of the week. "Merry Christmas to you all." We then went downstairs.

We lounged in the living room for awhile. We still had a lot of house to take in and get adjusted to. It felt good in front of the fireplace. We sat on the floor on the plush carpet in front of the fireplace. Just mesmerized watching the fire. Suddenly our cell phones rang. It was our parents calling. "Hi mom, thanks for calling." "Just checking in to see how your guests are doing?" "They left a few minutes ago. They wanted to leave early in case the weather changed." "They sure seemed nice and I couldn't get over the wonderful things they had to say about you and Rex. It's makes us so proud of you Mason. We look forward to you two coming for Christmas tomorrow. Come over as soon as you're ready." "Thanks mom. I'll tell Rex. He's busy talking to his parents right now. Thanks mom for calling and look forward to seeing you and dad tomorrow."

I could overhear some of Rexs conversation with his parents. I knew they were talking about the merger and the Dartmouth guests. I wanted to talk to Rex about his parents living situation and see if had any information on their plans.

Rex finished his call and sat down next to me. "I have something to ask you babe?" "Go ahead, you know you can ask me anything."

"Now with the merger complete. I've been wondering what your parents are deciding to do about their living arrangements. If they plan to commute back and forth. Sell their house and rebuild?"

"All I know is that their kicking around some ideas. At this time they aren't sure what they want to do. I know they don't like the long commute in the winter."

"You know that if they decide to relocate, the cost would be put up by the company, because it's work related."

"I'm sure my dad knows his options."

We checked the time and thought we should get ready to go to my parent's house. While we showered and got dressed we talked about our parents. Rex and I couldn't ever remembering spending this much time with parents. "I think it's our parents way of showing their appreciation on our hard work and getting the merger." "I think your right babe. I've been thinking the same thing."

We wore dinner jackets with a nice overcoat. We put on gloves, but no hat, even if the wind was blowing. Our valets must be upstairs enjoying their mini party.

Reeves knocked on our door and told us everyone was surprised that we had a Christmas party for them. They thought with everything we had going on in such a short time, and not working that long at this house, that you would skip on a Christmas party. "No way Reeves. It's the least we can do to show our apprecation." "The reason I'm here is that your limousine is ready and waiting in front." "Thanks Reeves, now go back upstairs and enjoy yourself. We can let ourselves out when we're ready to leave."

We helped each other straighten our clothes and look "preppy." We grabbed our overcoats and put them on and our gloves and walked out to the foyer and to the large double front doors. As we were getting ready to open the doors. All the staff sprang out and said, "Merry Christmas." We were surprised. Reeves hurried to the front doors and opened them for us. We waved back to our staff and climbed into the back of the limousine and were off to my parents house.

It was around four in the afternoon when we arrived at my parents house. The outside decorations were on and looked very festive. The chaffeur opened the back door for us and we climbed out. And we walked up to the front doors where Albert was waiting for us. "Thank you Master Bates for coming and you too Mr. Granger." Everytime Albert said, "Master Bates." Rex had to chuckle. We walked into the elegantly decorated foyer. It looked just as nice as ours. Albert told us that our parents were in the sunroom. We walked over to the sunroom and our parents stood up and we shook hands, hugged and kissed our mothers. Then we all took a seat. One of the maids brought us a glass of eggnog. This was powerful eggnog. I wasn't sure if it was brandy or whiskey in the eggnog. Maybe both. But Rex and I managed to drink it.

We told our parents about our impromptu Christmas party for the staff. They seemed pleased and surprised that we had time. But were glad we had done it. My dad spoke up, "it's always important to show respect for the staff. They work hard without many compliments." I knew my dad and Rexs dad had a large employees Christmas party at the office buildings. But with everything we had going on. We had couldn't attend.

Mom told us we wouldn't be eating until around six. And it was just after five now. We had another round of eggnog. The second glass went down easier than the first. Then Rexs dad got our attention. He said, "I have an important announcement to make. I know some of you may have been wondering what our plans were for living after the merger. It was an easy decision for your mother and I Rex. With our long unpredictable winters. We decided to sell our home and relocate closer to work. I've already started the ball rolling. And I have real estate people checking out a site for our new home. We really like the French chateau style. It's a style we've talked about many times. The company architects have already been sending us ideas and getting our ideas on what we want included in the house. All our furnishings from our other house and staff will move into the new house. Now in the middle of winter, it gives us plenty of time to find the right spot for this home and get some final plans ready for the design and connecttion when spring rolls around. I know that since we're relocating because of work. I know the company will pay for the land and house."

"My dad said, I think you're making the right decision. Besides now that we've merged companies, we will be working side by side. And this will make it much easier for everyone. If you need my help, I'm just a phone call away. Or an office away and I'll help you all I can."

Rexs mom spoke up, "this was hard decision for me. I love our home and it was our dream home. But I know the move is needed and important for work. We will now have our second dream home and the design and style we've always wanted."

The mom's hugged and my mom told Rexs mom she knew the best interior decorator and they started talking about what they would have included. Our fathers just shook their heads.

Albert came into the sunroom and told us that dinner was ready. We followed our parents into the formal dining room. Servers were already present and waiting for us. Mom as usual, had name tags placed so everyone knew where to sit. The dining room table was decorated for Christmas. My dad talked to a server and soon a glass of champagne was passed around to each of us. We all stood and my father gave a toast. "Here's to a wonderful Christmas dinner and gathering. I'm glad to see our whole family here together. And I hope that this will be the start of many family gatherings." We all raised our glasses and drank our champagne.

The servers started. I wondered what my mother had planned for dinner. It didn't take long to find out. She had pheasant under glass prepared. We were each served our pheasant breast. The glass was used to keep the pheasant breast warm. Sides included small boiled potatoes fixed with butter, parsley and a dash of onion. A special holiday vegetable dish had been prepared. Fresh garden salad. And two casseroles finished off the dinner. Everything was excellent and we complimented mom on an excellent Christmas dinner. Once we finished the entree the dinner dishes were cleared and we had a Pavlova wreath for dessert. It was made into individual sections so it was easy to serve. We all had coffee with our dessert. Once we finished we all got up and went to the living room. Dad had Albert pour each a small glass of cognac to finish off an excellent dinner.

The conversation was pleasant and dad asked what our plans were for New Years. We told him we had been kicking around the idea of having a New Years Party at our house. Invite the board of directors and friends. Our moms spoke up right away. "That's a wonderful idea boys. We can get everything ready for a wonderful New Years Eve party." I said, "well I guess that settles that."

We then pulled out our travel envelopes and handed them to our "parents. "What's this they all said in unison?" "This is our Christmas present to the best parents anyone could wish for." They opened their travel envelopes and couldn't believe what they saw. We told them the tickets were open and all they had to do was confirm the dates they wanted to travel and everything would be ready. "This is the best Christmas present ever. Our moms were crying and wiping away tears. "We've always wanted to vacation in the Bahamas and now it's a reality. Thank you boys so much for being so special and caring."

It was getting later and we told our parents, we should probably go home. I got Alberts attention and told him to have Winston bring the limousine to the front. "Very good Master Bates. Consider it done."

We all got up and our parents followed us to the front door. We hugged and shook hands with our dads. Hugged and kissed our mom on the cheek. Albert opened the front doors for us and we walked out and into our waiting limousine. We waved to our parents as we left. The warm limousine felt good with the heated seats. It was cold outside and windy.

We got home to a Christmas light display. The outside decorations sure looked nice. Rex and I loved our home. And we were still discovering new things about the house. Winston parked under the canopy and opened the door for us. We got out and walked up on one side of the sides to the entrance. There were staircases one each side that swept up to the entrance. With a fountain at the bottom. Reeves was there to open the doors for us and asked us if we had a good Christmas dinner. "It was excellent Reeves, thanks for asking." "Did the staff have a good Christmas dinner." "Yes. The chef prepared a special Christmas dinner according to you and Rexs instructions."

As we walked into the foyer the Christmas lights really illuminated the large room. Making it look very Christmassy. No other lights had been turned on.

We told Reeves we were going to change and then bring us a small glass of cognac to the sunroom. "Very good sirs. I'll have your drinks ready for you."

We walked into our master bedroom and the valets were getting the bedroom ready for the evening. We asked them to help us out of clothes. And they were helping us in an instant. We were stripped down to our bulging boxers. But didn't feel in a teasing mood. We told them just some sweats and tshirt would be fine. They put on our sweats, making sure the back of their hands rubbed over our cocks and balls. Which didn't help the obvious bulge. Then the tshirt. We put on flip flops. Even though we could have went barefoot with the heated floors. I happened to brush against one of the curtains and it moved to the side revealing a door. Rex and I didn't know that door existed. It had been blocked by the curtains. The door went out to a private patio from our bedroom. What I nice place to have a morning cup of coffee in the summer. The patio was nice sized, but not enclosed or covered, so it would only work in the summer. We might decide to have that enclosed in the near future. With windows that could be slid open to let in fresh air. Something to consider.

The valets stayed in our bedroom, putting our clothes away and finishing the turn down of the bed. We walked out and into the sunroom.

Soon Reeves entered with our cognac and a large envelope. "What's this Reeves?" "It's a surprise sir. I hope you like."

Rex and I moved to the loveseat so we could sit close to each other. I opened the envelope and it was an oversized Christmas card. When we opened the card all the staff had signed it and thanked us for a wonderful staff Christmas party and Christmas dinner.

That was sure nice of them. We then realized this was our only Christmas card we had received. I ran out and put the card on top of the fireplace mantle. The Christmas colors sure looked nice there.

Rex and I stayed close together on the loveseat and sipped on our cognac. "This is very good Reeves." "This is your dads favorite cognac and he had bought a case for you men." "What's the brand?" "It's Remy Martin Louis XIII." It tastes expensive, but good." "Your right sir. One bottle is around $5,500.00."

We finished our cognac. Took a walk around the house upstairs and downstairs and ended at our bedroom. We were tired after a full day. And lots of food.

Over the next few days our moms were busy with a decorating company, getting the banquet room ready for our New Years Eve party. Reeves had managed to get ahold of Higgins and both Rex and I were on a good training program. Higgins was the best and he always had time for us to workout. Of course we got some special massages at the end of our workouts. Higgins got us into the pleasure of anal sex. He loved fucking and was very good at it. His big hard cock was almost as big as mine. It was a perfect fit for Rex and me. His cock was straight like an arrow and the head of his cock made for easy penetration. He was gentle and took his time. He knew we had very little experience. Anal sex with Higgins was satisfying for us and enough. Rex and I enjoyed our love making and sixty nine.

Rex mentioned to me one day that we should buy a massage table and the oils. That way Higgins wouldn't have to lug his massage table back and forth. We talked to Reeves and he took care of it. The next time Higgins came for our training. He used the new the massage table. It said it was good quality and he appreciated us buying a massage tables so he didn't have to bring his every time. The aromatic massage oils really relaxed our muscles. And we made sure the sound system was on and some nice background music was playing during the massage.

News Years Eve was fast approaching and we left our moms to do their thing. They sure worked together well and seemed to be in their element. When they would leave for the day. Rex and I would check out the progress. The moms told us they expected around 80 people if they all showed. An area for the band was setup and a raised stage for dancing. Four large disco balls were installed and I could see spotlights to shine on them with different colors. The tables were setup and chair covers and tableclothes were on the table. I didn't see any banquet tables. Everything must be going to be served. The bar was fully stocked and looked ready for the bartenders and waiters and waitresses. It looked like everything was falling into place.

Attire for the News Year Eve party was formal. I knew my mom would want that. I wasn't sure about Rexs mom.

Here it was New Years Eve. The laundry area had it's own dry cleaning machine. And our suits were ready for us and hanging in our walkin closets. We were wearing dark blue pin stripped Armani suits with black accessories. We finished and walked out to start greeting our guests as they arrived.

Our moms were busy upstairs, putting on the final touches. Our moms knew we were short staffed during the holidays. I had Reeves make a rotating schedule where each staff member would get a few days off to spend with their families during the holidays. Our moms assured us that everything was taken care of.

Soon guests started arriving and staff started escorting them to the banquet room. It looked like most everyone had arrived and Rex and I walked upstairs to the banquet room. The room looked full. I think everyone invited had attended. The band was playing music as background noise. Drinks were being served along with appetizers. Beautiful flower arrangements were in the center of each table with a Happy New Years announcement stuck in the center of the arrangements. One large banner was above the band that said Happy New Year. The disco balls were going and the spotlights were shining rotating colored lights on them. Our parents and us were located in the front center.

Since it was our party. We thought we should be the ones to greet the guests. We both stood up and clinked our glasses to get everyone's attention. We took turns talking and thanked everyone for coming to our First New Years Eve party in our new home. Some of you we don't know. But we will be mingling and getting acquainted with you all. For those of you who don't know us. I'm Mason Bates III and this is Rex Granger. We hope you enjoy yourselves and make yourselves comfortable. Now let's get this party started.

The band picked up the tempo and some couples hit the dance stage. The drinks were flowing and everybody was having a good time. Lights were dimmed so you get the full effect of the disco balls. Our parents danced a little as well as Rex and I. Which didn't raise any eyebrows. We were glad about that.

Our dads told us most of the people in attendance were board members from the merged companies. Ten from our company and ten from the Granger company, plus their spouses. So that made forty people right there. The other people were some other executives and friends of friends. It seemed like a good mixture of people. Of course, Rex and I were the youngest at the party. But that didn't seem to matter.

Our moms seemed pleased that everyone was having a good time. The appetizers were delicious and our moms decided to stay with different appetizers, rather than a big meal. The Russian caviar with gourmet crackers, seemed to be the hit of the appetizers. Our moms told us they were serving Premium Ossetra Sturgeon Caviar, La Mer Noire Brand, which was the top of the line caviar. I wasn't surprised. It was just the way my mom was. Rex and I tried the caviar and it was very good. Many different types of canapes were being served, all very delicious.

It was getting close to midnight and I noticed waiters and waitresses passing out party favors and noise makers. As it approached midnight the band started the count down. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Everyone was standing and clapping and kissing their spouse and the people next to them.

The band started playing Auld Lang Syne and those that knew the words were singing. Finally everyone sat down. The band started playing music again and people started hitting the dance stage. It was going on twelve thirty and it looked like some people were starting to get ready to leave.

The president of the board stood up and thanked us for a wonderful New Years Eve party. And hoped it would be an annual event. Which brought a few laughs. He then said that a board meeting would be happening soon and he would be emailing everyone the details. Once he finished a few couples got up and we thanked them for coming. Following by more and more people leaving. Soon it was just us and our parents. We had one last appetizer and a glass of champagne. We thanked our moms for organizing this great party.

We got up. Our parents were looking tired. And we all walked downstairs. One of the staff handed our parents their coats and helped them put them on. Our moms assured us that everything would be removed and cleaned tomorrow. Again we thanked our parents for coming. We watched them leave in their limousines for my parents house.

We walked back in. It was another cold night. The house felt good. We told Reeves we would have another glass of champagne in the living room. We wanted to absorb the heat from the fireplace. "What do you think about the party babe?" "I think it was another success. We've had two great parties in a short amount of time."

Reeves brought in our champagne and I told him to pour a glass for each staff member that was working. To celeberate the new year.

Our parents took their vacation before the upcoming board meeting. This would be our first board meeting to attend as board members. They told us by text message what a good time they were having. And they definitely wanted to return again to the Bahamas. This was a wonderful Christmas present.

The new year started out busy for us. We attended the first board meeting as voting members. Rex and I were introduced. And we were by far the youngest board members. The chairman of the board told us we were the youngest board members they had ever had. But he knew with our credentials and education, we were an important part of this board. Meeting started and again the chairman of the board thanked us for the merger. Everyone agreed. The transition was almost complete. The Granger part of the company were moved in and settled in their new adjoining building. There were two walkways between the new buildings. They were heated and glass so you could see outside. The walkways were short but a welcome so you didn't have walk outside in the winter or when it was raining. There were also scooters available like they use in the airports for faster transportation if needed. The scooters fit perfect in the walkways.

The next order of business was how Rex and I were progressing on the next merger. We told the board were finalizing our notes and our presentation was almost ready. We would be leaving for Australia in the coming week. The final travel details and meeting times were being organized. "The board knows you two young men work together well and we wish you all the best and hope you bring us back good news." "We plan to. We have one merger under our belt and have gained experience from that process. We feel prepared and are planning for any counter arguments coming our way. "That sounds good and you sound ready."

It was a short board meeting and soon it broke up and everyone took off to their respective offices. Most of the board members worked for the merged companies and only a couple board members had their own private businesses.

We were prepared and packed and ready for our business trip to Australia. Rex and I did a little research on the internet and our plane could make the flight in about 18 hours. The time change was 16 hours. That would be the hardest to adjust to. We planned a week, but was hoping everything would be done and finalized in less time.

We were busy working in our home office finalizing our two sets of documents. I heard a knock at the door and Reeves had our mail that he handed to us. We thanked him and he left. There were two large mailing envelopes from Dartmouth, one addresssed to Rex and the other to me. Also, a couple of letters.

We agreed to check our mail later since we were concentrating on our paperwork. The first set of documents was the general information. What we knew about their company, a merger meeting that happened almost two years ago and a few other general stats. Also, general information about the merger of Bates and Granger with some stats on how the transition went. The second set of documents was the meat of the presentation. Giving the benefits of a merger with their company. The projected profit in one year and the projected yearly projections. We finished or as much as we wanted to do.

We left the office with our mail and went to the sunroom. It looked cold and glomy outside. A light snow was coming down, but it looked like the wind had stopped. Reeves brought us in coffee and we sat together on the very plush comfortable loveseat. We opened the Dartmouth envelopes first. There were copies of the undergraduate and graduate handbooks for the coming school year. Along with a letter from the Dean of the College. We read our letter first. Again saying pretty much the same thing he said when they visited our wedding. Excerpts from Rex's undergraduate speech was included in both handbooks. Excerpts from the graduation speech was also included in both handbooks. Also, there was a feature on both of us in the alumni section. Finally, concluding by being how proud he was with us and what fine examples the Dartmouth College produces. We scanned through the handbooks and read over the excerpts and read over the feature article on us in the alumni section. We debated whether we should include this information in our office at work. But decided against it. We thought it might be too much.

Coffee tasted good and we relaxed together on the loveseat. Leaning into each other. It felt nice and it always gave us a peace of mind. "Two days babe and we're going to be in Australia." "I know, but I feel ready and I have a gut feeling we will get the merger, but it's going to be a struggle." "I have a good feeling about this business trip. Even though a merger was tried in the past, I'm not getting my hopes up too high. We can only hope for the best. And our ability."

Trip day was here. We were all packed and everything was loaded into the limousine. It looked like all the staff was waiting for us to wish us a safe and successful trip. We thanked them and Reeves told us not to worry about anything. They would keep everything running smoothly while we were gone.

It didn't take long to get to the airport and our new business plane. It sure looked nice all bright and shiny with the sun reflecting off from it. The weather wasn't so cold and the highways were in good condition so we made good time. The steward came out of the plane and greeted us and we walked up the stairs into our plane. The chaffeur and steward got all our luggage stowed and our suits hung in a special garment compartment. We would be staying a hotel that was next to the business building where we would be having our meetings.

The steward came back on the plane and introduced himself and them introduced us to our flight crew. Captain and copilot/navigator. He took our coats and gloves and put them away for us. We looked around the plane and it had a little different layout. We had a large office with our hotline to our father's offices. Also, a multifunction printer and copy and fax machine. A small conference room. Not big like on the other plane. We wondered why this conference room was smaller. It made the dining area bigger and our master bedroom and en suite bath was bigger also. The more I thought about the conference room, it was probably because we would be traveling and meeting at the businesses conference rooms.

We told the steward we were going to relax for awhile since we had a long flight. We asked him if he knew how long the flight would be. He said he would ask the captain and be right back. He came back in a couple of minutes and told us the captain said it would be around an 18 hour flight. Depending on wind. Maybe a little later or a little sooner.

Rex and I weren't tired, but with the time change we wanted to look rested for the first meeting. Rex asked the steward if they had anything that was relaxing. He said he would check if there was any tea.

We felt the plane taking off and we were soon airborne. The steward knocked on our door and said he found some chamomile tea that was soothing and relaxing. He sat two cups on my nightstand and we thanked. He told us to get a good rest and would let us know when lunch was ready. We told him to make it a late lunch, like around 2pm.

We drank our tea and after some talking and tossing and turning. We wound up cuddled together and nodded off.

I woke up to a thumping sound. Then I realized it must be the steward knocking at the door. I walked over to the door and the steward told me he had lunch ready for us when we were ready. I told him we would be out shortly and he could get the dining room ready.

I nudged Rex and he rolled over on his side. I kissed his ears and neck and I heard him mumble. He looked over at me. "Lunch is ready babe. We should shower and dress and get something to eat."

Rex and I took a hot steamy shower and then dressed in something casual. We walked out to the dining room that was elegantly set. We had a light lunch which I was glad about. Some gourmet sandwiches with a great consomme. The warm consomme was soothing and just what we needed. We finished lunch and thanked the steward and walked up front to the large sitting area. The captain came on and told us that the flight was projected to take about seventeen hours. We had wind behind us and was helping to make better time. We would be staying at the same altitude with the jet stream pushing us.

"What do you want to do babe? Let's go in the office and check it out." We walked into a nice sized office. With a large double desk. We booted our computer and typed in our passwords. We checked our email and we both had emails from our fathers. Wishing us a safe and successful trip. We hoped for the same. We shut down our computers and went to our bedroom to watch some tv. We told the steward we would eat a late dinner. Around seven or seven thirty. He told us he would tell us when it was ready.

Rex and I had peeked into the galley. It was a large set up like a mini gourmet kitchen. It looked like every possible appliance was somehow fitted into the space.

Rex found a good college football game that we started watching. Soon we found ourselves nodding off again with the game still playing on the tv.

We woke up to the steward knocking on our door that dinner was ready. We got dressed and walked out. The chef had prepared some kind of stuffed lobster. It was good and we passed on dessert. After dinner we went back to bed to get in a good rest. We would have our first meeting tomorrow at one in the afternoon.

The cheapskates couldn't even provide lunch for our business meeting.

Rex and I went right to sleep and again the steward knocked on our door and apoligized for disturbing us, but we were starting our descent and thought we'd like to know. We showered quickly got dressed in some nice dress clothes and walked out to the sitting area and fastened our seatbelt.

Soon we had a smooth landing and we saw a limousine waiting for us. The steward and chaffeur stowed all our gear in the limousine, since we would be staying at the hotel next to the business. We thanked the flight crew. They would be our flight crew everytime we used our company plane.

The chaffeur was talking to us and pointing out places of interest, but we had a hard time understanding him. He had a strong Australian accent. We arrived at the hotel. It looked pretty from the outside and was right next to the business, just like we had been told.

The chaffeur helped a porter with our gear and we walked up to the reception desk. We give him our names and we were taken to our room by the same porter. The hotel had twenty floors with the top floor being the penthouse. We were on the nineteenth floor in the presidential suite. The suite was massive with an open floor plan. The porter put our clothes away for us and told us we would have a personal butler that should arrive shortly. We thanked him and gave him a tip.

We took a quick look around the suite and found a large conference room. Now everything clicked. That was why our plane had a small conference room. We would be spending our travels in hotels and hotel rooms with conference rooms.

We had enough time for lunch and then we would need to get ready for our first meeting. Our butler came in and we introduced ourselves. We told him we would like a light lunch and if he could lay out our double breasted suits.

The butler made a quick call on our room phone. I'm sure he was ordering our lunch. Rex and I stripped down and took a quick shower. We walked into the bedroom toweling off while the butler finished laying out our clothes. He left us to our privacy and Rex and I got dressed in our suits. We checked each other and thought we looked pretty sharp and ready for the meeting.

We had a light lunch, like we had requested. Freshened up a bit and splashed some cologne on and walked over to the building next door. We had our briefcases with us and our two presentations, depending on how the first meeting went.

We went in and we gave the receptionist our names and she personally took us up the elevator to the meeting room. There were six other gentlemen huddled together and talking. When we walked in we introduced ourselves and we shook hands and walked into the meeting room. The room was large and looked like it could hold around twenty people. Rex and I sat together on one side of the table while the six men sat across from us on the other side of the table.

One of the men, we thought must be the head of the negotiating team started talking. He thanked us for making the long trip and hoped that our meeting would be fruitful with good results for both companies. The man spoke perfect English and was easy to understand. The other men didn't say anything and just glared at us. I don't know if they were trying to intimidate us or not. But it didn't faze Rex or me. Then Rex took over and handed out our preliminary presentation information. This was a list of the general information. About an earlier merger meeting almost two years ago. The different aspects of their company and ours. It didn't go into detail or mention any numbers or projections.

The men looked it over carefully. Then the same man started talking again. You two seem very young to be in this position. Of course they knew who Mason and Rex were. They had done their homework and knew they were the sons of the owners of the merged companies. Also, they were highly intelligent and were honors graduates from Dartmouth in business and economics. We don't want this meeting to drag on and on for days. So let's get down to business and see where it takes us.

With that said we handed out our second set of presentation papers. We saw a few raised eyebrows. It was hard to read the men. They stayed pretty hard faced while they carefully read over our information on the second presentation. Then Rex and I started going back and forth and filling in the details on this presentation. The men sat back and listened while we presented our facts and benefits to both companies. Once we finished the same man again said. That was very impressive. But we need to consult on this and discuss some issues privately.

I mentioned that we were staying at the hotel next door in the presidential suite and why don't we continue tomorrow at our suite at one with a lunch and continue our meeting. The men seemed to like that idea. And we got up and shook hands and left. The men stayed in the their conference room.

Rex and I walked back to our hotel and talked about the meeting. We really had no idea where this would go. They all seemed serious, of course it was a serious matter making a merge. But the benefits and projections could speak for themselves.

After Mason and Rex left. The men started a discussion. They went over all the points on the second presentation. According to their stats, everything seemed to be in place. There were surprised how well prepared Mason and Rex were and how well they presented the information. They acted much older than their 23 years. They kept kicking back and forth different points on the presentation and comparing it with their notes. They couldn't find any discrepancies and they liked the terms of the merger and how easy the transition would be. They talked for about another hour and finally came up with a decision.

They would present their decision tomorrow when they had their business lunch meeting at the hotel. Which was one of their businesses.

Mason and Rex checked out more of the presidential suite. Being in Sydney in January was the middle of the summer in Australia and the temperature was staying in the mid 70s.

Mason and Rex changed into some casual clothes and relaxed on their huge deck. They texted their fathers about the first meeting and their reaction and the follow up meeting tomorrow. They had the butler bring them a cold beer. Which tasted good. They didn't drink a lot, but were finding as they got more and more into the business world. The more and more that people drank.

It was approaching dinner time and we asked the butler what he recommended for dinner. He told us the hotel had two excellent dining rooms, a French cuisine and an Italian cuisine, both with highly praised chefs. We told him to make reservations for seven at the French restaurant.

Dinner time rolled around and we were personally escorted to the French restaurant. Luckily for us, everything on the menu was in French and English. As our butler told us, the meal was excellent and top quality. We enjoyed our dinner very much.

We left and went back to our suite. We changed clothes again and relaxed in the living room. We were getting hyped up for tomorrows meeting and what we thought might happen. We knew the meeting could go either way. We could only hope for the best with what we presented.

Here it was the big day. Rex and I were a little nervous and anxious. We made sure the butler took care of our lunch. He said everything was ready as soon as we were. 1pm was approaching and soon the same men starting entering the suite. We shook hands and greeted each other and made our way into the conference room. The servers were waiting for us and lunch was served. Two large charcuterie wooden platters were set on the table. Obviously organized by the chef. They were elegantly decorated and well presented. We had the option of red wine or coffee for lunch. Most drank coffee.

While we were eating the same man started talking. He told us after we left yesterday they had a long discussion with the facts, statisics, projections and transition on a merger well planned and presented. After a couple of hours of discussion and kicking facts back and forth, we agreed the the merger would be in the best interest for both companies. This was the first time I saw the man smile. The other men still stayed pretty hard faced.

We finished our lunch in a more relaxed atmosphere and we told the men that our transition team would be contacting them soon to start the process. They would keep their company name, but all correspondence and mail would use Bates & Granger. They understood that, and couldn't wait for the transition to begin. We enjoyed the rest of our lunch and retired for a little while to the living room. The butler brought us all a cognac to celebrate our merger. The men said they were impressed with how well prepared we were and it made the decision easy for them. The men said they needed to leave and get back to work. We shook hands one more time and they left the suite.

Rex and I were flying high. We immediately got on the phone and called our fathers. They said they knew we could get the job done and another outstanding merger. We told them we were going to spend one more day in Sydney and then leave for home tomorrow. They told us there was no rush and to take our time.

Rex and I just increased our yearly salary from $500,000 to $1,000,000.

We told the butler we were going to change and then would like a tour of this capital city. He told us he would take care of everything. We left the hotel in the same limousine that we arrived in with the same chaffeur. He told us he would take us to the most popular places in Sydney. He took us to the Chinese Garden of Friendship, a national aquarium, the famous opera house, a national maritime museum, and concluded with an art gallery. That took the rest of the day and we arrived back at the hotel.

We told our butler we wanted to go to one fo the finest restaurants in Sydney for dinner. He told us he would have the chaffeur take us to Bennelong, which servers typical Australian food. That sounded like a wonderful idea. The butler made the reservations and we put on our dark brown Armani pin stripped suits. And were on our way for a fine dining experience to celebrate.

We enjoyed the restaurant and typical Australian food. It was a unique experience. Everything was paid for by the company, as part of our expense account. We left our waiter a generous tip and left for the hotel.

We got to our suite. A large basket with different wine, cheese, crackers and meat was sitting on the coffee table in the living room. Rex read the card. "To two very skillful and tactful negotiators." Signed by the members of the Australian negotatiating team. That was a surprise.

We asked the butler to arrange some of the basket on a platter or tray for us and we were going to relax out on the deck. Soon he came out with flutes of red wine and some of the items neatly arranged. From our deck we could see out to the marina and the yachts. We thought we should use our yacht sometime for traveling. It was fully equipped with a meeting room and would make a nice atmosphere for business meetings. Rex liked that idea and we kept it in the back of our minds.

Finally we thought we should turn in. We had a long flight ahead of us tomorrow. We were leaving early Australian time and with the time change we should arrive back around 5pm at the latest, our time.

The butler had already started packing some of our things. Mainly just toiletries and a few personal items were left to be packed.

The butler took care of our suits while Rex and I took a shower. When we finished the shower the butler was gone and we crawled into bed. Snuggled together and were out like a light.

We woke up to some light knocking on our door. A put a courtesty hotel robe on and opened the door. It was the butler and telling me that we should eat breakfast and get ready to go. It was approaching 7am and we wanted to be airborne by 8am. We thanked the butler got up and took a quick shower and took care of other bathroom needs. Travel clothes had been laid out for us. And we got dressed. We ate a delicious breakfast while the butler finished getting our things packed.

A different porter came to our room and took our luggage and garment bags, into the waiting limousine. We thanked the butler and we were off to the airport.

Our plane was ready and the flight crew was ready for us. We got aboard while our gear was taken care of. Within a few minutes we were taking off and heading home.

We had some good meals on the plane. And soon the captain was telling us that we were starting our descent. Our landing was smooth and not bumpy. The flight was smooth with no turbulence.

Our limousine was waiting for us. We made sure to put on our winter dress coats and gloves and thanked the crew for a wonderful flight.

The drive home seemed to go fast and before we knew it, we could see the outside Christmas lights. A few cars were parked around, but we didn't pay much attention to that.

We walked up the right staircase to the entrance and Reeves welcomed us home and took our coats and gloves. He told us to head up to the banquet room. Rex and I looked at each other and wondered what was going on. When we entered the banquet room the lights came on and everyone cheered and applauded. It was the board of directors and our parents welcoming us back. They thanked us for a job well done. And were pleased with the comments they received from the Australian negotiators. Our fathers told us that while we were talking the transition was already taking place.

We all mingled and talked for a bit. We were getting tired after the long flight. Again everyone thanked us for landing that big merger. It would boost our revenue to over twenty five billion more and the merger would increase the Australian companies revenue by almost fifteen billion. Soon everyone was leaving, except for our parents. They told us we needed to take some time off and enjoy a successful business trip. We agreed.

Our parents hung around for about a half hour and we talked some more in the banquet room. Our fathers couldn't believe how fast we got the merger. Usually negotiations take days or weeks before they are finalized. We got the Australian merger in two days. Our parents knew we were tired and and so walked downstairs with them and thanked them for this surprise party.

Rex and I were bushed and our valets took care of our clothes for us while we crawled into bed. We didn't give each other a good night kiss. We were both snoring as soon as we hit the bed.

Over the course of the year we landed two more big mergers. One in Canada and the other in Mexico. Both only taking two to three days to be approved. The company was ecstatic with the mergers. We had brought billions of dollars into the business, besides helping the companies that merged. Rumors were going around the business that we were going to get a huge bonus or increase in our yearly salary. Rex and I didn't care. We were now up to two million a year. But making three big merges in one year, is almost unheard of.

Rex and I attended our first board meeting at Dartmouth. Where we were introduced as new board members. Everyone was pleased we had agreed to be members of the board. The chairman of the board pointed out how we were continually featured in Business Weekly. We didn't have any issues to vote on, but general business was discussed and plans for the new school year.

Our parents gave us a surprise birthday party for our 24th birthday. God, we were getting old already. Sometimes we felt much older than 24.

Rex's parents new house was about half finished. The contractors were busy with the inside work. The outside was finished. But this house, when completed, would be about twice the size of their old house. From what we could see from the outside, this was going to quite a spectacular home when finished. Their old house was constructed for about 3 million dollars. It was listed for 25 million and was sold immediately to a family that was relocating. They fell in love with the house, which made Rexs parents happy. They were staying with my parents until the house was finished. They were were hoping by Christmas to be able to move in.

We were busy now getting ready for a presentation in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We were going to use the yacht. It would be our first time and we were excited. It had a top speed of 60 knots which was close to 70 mph.

We also had the patio redone from our bedroom. We had it enclosed with floor to ceiling glass windows that could easily be opened and closed. Lighting was put in. And some nice patio curtains were in place. A little furniture and it looked like it had always been that way. Of course our moms had to put the finishing touches on the patio.

We also had the contractor of our house working on a new room down the hall from our bedroom. They were taking out the storage space and making it into a room that would be a surprise for our parents. Something we were working on, but keeping it a secret from everybody. Only a few staff knew what was happening.

We wanted to have the surprise ready for our 25th birthday and as present to our families. We were excited and hoping that everything went through without any problems. So far, so good.

We landed the merger in the U.S. Virgin Islands. So far we were batting 1000 in our mergers. The yacht worked out perfect for lunch. The conference room as big. I thought it could hold at least twenty people, maybe a few more. All the bedrooms on the yacht were deluxe state rooms. The crew had their own quarters. The dining room was big and could hold eighteen people comfortably. A large living area. Our master bedroom was off down another hall and spacious. We had jet skis. A small speedboat if we need to get somewhere fast. Also two lounging decks and small pool with an attached hot tub. This yacht was a mansion on the water.

Last Christmas the rumors were put to rest. The board of directors unaminously agreed to change our yearly salary to 5 million per year. The way we were making money for the company, they felt it was justified. We started putting some of the money into two trust funds.

Our 25th birthday was approaching and we were getting excited. The new room was finished and looked ready. We were approved, which really made us happy. We had already informed our parents that we wanted to have our birthday at our home. Rexs parents wanted us to have our birthday at their new completed home. But we told them we had a special surprise, so they consented.

Rex's parents new home was huge. It looked at least three times larger than their former home. It was beautiful in the French Chateau style. It was spread out with the middle section having a second floor. We couldn't wait to get the grand tour.

It was our 25th birthday and we were so excited. We were practically bouncing off the walls with excitement and energy. We couldn't wait for our parents to arrive. Finally the cars pulled in and our parents got out and came in. We hugged and kissed and Reeves took their coats, even though it wasn't that cold. The wind was a little chilly. We walked into the living room and Reeves poured us all a glass of white wine.

Our mother's were excited and wanted to know what the big news was and why we looked happier than usual. Finally I nodded to Reeves and soon a nanny came out of the new room with twin baby boys. They were eight month old. Our mother's couldn't believe what they saw. Here's our special birthday presents. We adopted identical twin boys. They are eight months old. One is Joshua and the other is Jacob. Josh we named Joshua Mason Bates Granger and Jacob we named Jacob Rex Granger Bates. Our parents were beaming and so happy. Our mom's took turns holding their grandsons. We were happy to see our parents so happy. The babies were well behaved and the nanny took special care of them.

We then walked down to the nursery so they could see the boys room. We have two nannies. The other nanny was getting things ready for the boy's naps. Our parents loved the nursery. My dad asked us what our plans were when the boys got older and needed their own rooms. We told the dads we had already talked to the contractor on our home and he could put in a wing upstairs with a small hallway and two master bedrooms for the boys. Since they are identical twins we wanted the bedrooms to be adjoining. They were already showing characteristics of being identical twins. Crying at the same time. Hungry at the same time. If one was fussy, so was the other one and the list went on and on.

"All we can say is this is the best present ever. You know we're going to spoil our grandsons rotten. And they will get anything they want. You may not even see them much. They will be spending all their time at our homes."

Rex and I just smiled.

It didn't take the boys long to outgrow their nursery and when they were big enough they moved into their new master bedrooms. The nursery was converted back to the storage area like it had been. It took the boys awhile to adjust to their new bedrooms. They were big and I thought they were a little scared at first. We kept the nannies on until they were five and then we hired personal valets for the boys. By five they were well adjusted to their bedrooms and got along well with their valets.

Our parents kept their word and the boys were almost every weekend at one of the their grandparents houses. It surprised me how our parents always had time for their grandsons. They never seemed too busy to spend time with them. It gave us a break. And some personal time together. We loved the boys and they always thought we were their parents. They didn't mind having two dads and it wasn't an issue. I was wondering how that would play out when they started school next year. We already had them enrolled in the best private boys school in the state.

Work was going well. We started slowing down. We didn't need three mergers in one year. Sometimes we did only one merger in a year and no more than two. The merger never took more than two or three days to complete. Our company was huge. And bringing in multi billions of dollars a year. Rex and I were now making over 25 million per year and moved up substanially in the company with the boards approval.

We were doing our own research now on new companies with a good potential for a merger. Rex and I made sure we always stayed in contact with all our merged companies and visited them personally, which they liked. That way they could tell about any complaints or problems they were having.

Our board work at Dartmouth had produced good results. And had spurred an increase in enrollment, where the students were admitted or not was another story. The LGBTQ chapter was popular on campus and they had as many straight kids as gay.

Our boys were doing well in school and adjusted easily. They were likeable boys, friendly and popular. And they did well in school.

Everything was working out well. We all couldn't be happier. Our parents were happy having grandsons. We were happy to have such nice boys and a very successful career. And we never stopped thanking Dartmouth. Or none of this would have been possible.

I will be taking a couple three weeks off from writing. Next I'll be writing some short stories. And then start another series of Bob and Graham.

I apologize for this story taking so long. It started out as a short story, but I kept coming up with more and more ideas and it turned into a full blown novel. I promise the next story will be a short story. I plan to write a sequel about Mason and Rex, but that will be in the near future.

Please email me your comments and suggestions. I like to hear from you. I answer all emails I receive. I ask that you please put Nifty or the title of the story in the subject line. Then I'll know it's not spam. I hope you have liked this story. Please email me at: fsfs@hotmail.com
