Frequency, Pitch and Colour
Complex tones, or composite waveforms (harmonic and non-harmonic), consist of many sine waves of different frequency added together. These individual sine waves are called frequencies components. What are consider to be musical sounds generally don't have just one or two frequency components. Sounds that have only a few frequency components are not at all interesting or pleasing to listen to. They have no musical colour or timbre. Conversely, sounds that have too many frequency components, like the sound of a strong windstorm with rain, may be interesting and even pleasant to listen to but, these sounds don't have a particular pitch so they usually aren't considered musical "notes."
When someone sings a note or plays a note on an instrument, a very particular set of frequencies is heard. Visualize each note that is sung or that is played on an instrument as a smooth mixture of many different pitches as shown above. These different pitches are called overtones or partials and are preferably harmonic as described above, but they can be either harmonic or non-harmonic. The human auditory system generally blends them together so well that you do not hear them as separate notes at all. Instead, the overtones or partials give the note its color or timbre. Notes that have many non-harmonic overtones are said to create inharmonicity.
In music, inharmonicity is the degree to which the frequencies of the overtones of a fundamental differ from whole-number (integer) multiples of the fundamental's frequency. These inharmonic (non-harmonic) overtones are often distinguished from harmonic overtones (whole-number multiples) by calling them partials, though partial may also be used to refer to both. Whether we hear a sound as pitched or unpitched depends partly on the overtones of that sound. The more inharmonic a sound is, the less definite it becomes in pitch. Many percussion instruments such as cymbals, tam-tams, and drums create complex composite waveforms that are inharmonic sounds but yet they add a peculiar or colorful amount of inharmonicity or harmonic distortion to music, which is found to be palatable to the ear. Conversely, most modern professional-quality wind, brass and string instruments are designed to limit inharmonicity as much as possible in order to bring harmonicity to music. In the hands of a master, timpani can bridge the gap and provide both.

Celebrated in the North Indian belt, this is a festival that reflects eternal love between a man and his wife. This is the day when married women keep a fast throughout the day for the well being and longevity of their husbands. Read on to Know more about the festival...
Celebrated in the North Indian belt, this is a festival that reflects eternal love between a man and his wife. This is the day when married women keep a fast throughout the day for the well being and longevity of their husband's life.
In ancient times this was the time for men to go out and explore new boundaries or fight a war. The women who generally were at home would pray for their safety.
The fourth day of Karthik month also holds significance as going by mythology Goddess Parvati had kept the same fast for achieving the love of Lord Shiva. Later, during Mahabharata times, at the behest of Lord Krishna, Draupadi had kept the same fast for the well being of Arjun and her other husbands who were facing tough challenges.
This is however, also the time to harvest the crops therefore women also pray to Mother Earth (and that's why the Karva) for peace and prosperity.
Solah Shringaar or 16 types/steps of beautification is a very important part of the Karva Chauth festival. On this day, women adorned with their Shringaar, pray to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati to bless and protect their husbands from any adversaries.
Married women observe a fast during which they don't even drink water on this day. They open their fast in the evening only after moon sighting and praying to the Moon and Shiva–Parvati. Women sit in a circle in the evening and offer their gratitude for all that they are blessed with. In the centre, earthen pot is established. It is filled up with Gangajal and is symbolic of Lord Ganesha. A pious thread is tied around the pots neck. Alternatively, one can also use betel nut and tie Mauli (yellow coloured pious thread) around it and place it on top of rice grains. This also becomes symbolic of Lord Ganesha.
Goddess Gaura is made from yellow mud and a small ball of mound with a triangular top. One can also keep a copper coin representing her. It should also be tied around with yellow thread and a small vermillion bindi should be pasted on it. This manifestation of Goddess Gauri and has to be placed on the left side of Lord Ganesha. Two flowers representing Lord Kartikeya and Nandishwar are also placed with them. Fill another plate with rice grains and place deities of Lord Shiva and Ma Parvati on it and keep it behind Ma Gaura and Lord Ganpati. One can also make Ma Parvati with turmeric and wheat flour paste on a hard paper board. Then decorate this manifestation with beads, garlands, anklets etc.
Place two earthen pots in front of all the idols - one filled with water and a coin (preferably a silver coin) and another filled with dryfruits, sweets etc. place the picture of moon on the right side of Lord Ganesha. After praying to these deities for the wellbeing of one's husband and the clan, women who are sitting in the circle, pass on the karva plate to each other singing folk songs related to the fast.
In the evening, one offers prayers to the Moon through a sieve and then looks at her husband's face through it. The fast is broken after the prayers are offered to Moon. The following moon mantra should be chanted five times while sighting the moon:
"Dadhi sankha tushaaraabham kshiirodaarnasambhavam
Namaami shashinam somam shambhormukuta bhushanam
Aum Chandraaya namah"
Decorate a plate with various laces, mirror work, Gotas and Zaris. Keep a earthen pot in the centre filled up with Ganga jal. Place Diya, Roli, rice grains, vermillion, flowers etc on the right side of the plate and on the left side of the plate one should keep various sweets, fruits, dry fruits etc.
For your convenience, I have compiled a list of various types of sweets that would enhance the effects of your prayers when you offer them to your husband after the puja.
|Colour Of Sweet
|Boondi Laddo, Shrikhand
|Red, Orange
|Strawberry Flavoured,Almond Burfi

For women fasting on Karva Chauth, here is a list according to your Sun Sign that contain the colours you should wear and the flowers that you should adorn yourself with.

On electric vehicles, low noise is a key requirement, while low-speed operation enables improved control and positioning for various vehicle functions. This means that gear pumps which can operate efficiently and quietly at low speeds are among the most important priorities for electric vehicle designers. CALMA technology is also attractive in other markets, including truck, bus and off-highway, where the trend towards lower noise standards has been further encouraged by worldwide legislation.
Following an exhaustive programme of research and development in collaboration with the University of Dresden, we developed a range of CALMA pumps in displacements from 6cc to 24cc. The company established itself as a leader in low-noise gear products a decade ago when it introduced the first WQ series (quiet) gear pump product line. WQ introduced the concept of true dual flank engagement of the gear teeth (as opposed to "near dual flank engagement"), which is unique to Concentric and which reduces the amplitude of the pressure pulsations introduced into the hydraulic system. CALMA is a significant step forward in low noise technology in that it reduces noise by up to 10 dB or 85% in low-speed applications. Low speeds at high pressure are the most severe condition for gear pump technology. The pump, features innovative tooth geometry, true dual-flank gear engagement, reduced trapped oil volume and advanced trapped oil management. The design reduces pressure pulsation by 75%, which is the key factor determining the pump's noise levels, while also reducing energy consumption.
Both static and in-vehicle tests have demonstrated that CALMA series pumps offer significantly lower noise operation when compared with other external gear pumps. In many cases, they can also match or even out-perform more expensive internal gear pumps on efficiency and low-noise operation.
CALMA is especially well suited to applications on electric counterbalanced lift trucks and warehouse lift trucks. Sound power testing in comparison with other quiet gear pumps on these vehicles showed CALMA provided significant reductions in noise during the steer, tilt and lift functions by 50% to 85%. CALMA is also well suited to electric aerial work platforms and other mobile equipment where low noise, low speed and high efficiency are required.

Can we upgrade the Hide Empty Email Fields feature to include the other fields like PDF Link and IP Address?Asked by ghobbins on July 22, 2013 at 11:31 AM
Hide Empty Fields on EmailsHide empty fields on submission email.
This only works using the default email notifier.
JotForm Support
Hi! Thanks for contacting us.
Enabling Hide Empty Fields means that when you receive the notification email, fields that are not filled will not appear.
When you set up the notification email, there is the default content that has all the fields in it. iLike this:
If you change the content, then the hide empty fields will no longer work.
Let us know if you have further inquiries. Thanks!
So adding IP address and PDF link from the menu on the right makes it no longer 'default'?
JotForm Support
That's correct. When you add IP address and PDF link, you can see that even if Hide Empty Fields is enabled, it will no longer work as it should. So it really is only for the default email.
Please take a look at my email alerts. I created new ones without the IP address and PDF link with Hide Empty Fields enabled and the empty fields are still showing up in my emails.
JotForm Support
I see you've edited your email notification. Default notification contains JotForm logo, replacing it with something else is considered to be not a default notification anymore or in our terms it's called "dirty template", which simply means a modified email template.
Please recreate your email notification (delete and create a new one) and this time don't make any alterations in order for the hide empty email feature to work properly.
You need to fix this.
Right now this feature is unless.
JotForm Support
It is actually working so long as the email content is not edited.
As a sample, on one of my forms where it Hide Empty Fields is enabled, this is the result of the email when I included the IP address and PDF link
...but if it is simly the default email content
I have to agree, anything that is added from "your" menu should be considered default. This is really a nuisance.
JotForm Support
Your suggestion have merit.
Let me elevate this concern to our next level support for review.
Perhaps something can be upgraded on this process in the Hide Empty Email field feature.
We will notify you via this thread and in your email when new updated response is available.
Thank you!
Your concern has been sent to our development team, so you will receive the update about this issue when it is available, in the mean time we would appreciate your patience..
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I deleted the notification and autoresponder emails, created new "default" ones.
The notification to me is perfect. The autoresponder is still showing empty fields.
JotForm Support
Thank you for providing more information about the issue. This will really be helpful to our developers as they look into it and provide a fix and further improve this feature. As my colleague has said, they'll update you through this thread. Thanks!
I need to hide empty fields as I have in the past and was very disappointed to find this feature broken. Notifications require at least a some alteration in order to be clear for clients. Will placing a name and removing the jotform logo from the top section of a form break the hide empty fields feature? If so, that is a failed condition. Mine does not work. Please repair the feature asap. It is very important to provide clean notifications without maaaaany empty fields cluttering their view. Hide empty fields is necessary.
The form I am currently concerned about is formID=32192908365863
Thank you in advance for prompt attention to this.
We really apprecite that you informed us your concern/request about this topic. However, we would appreciate if you open your own thread where you explain what you need so that we can assist you properly. That will help us to give you the most appropiate answer/solution to your concern, we will be more thatn glad to help you.
Thanks for your comprehension
Thank you. I started a new thread: http://www.jotform.com/answers/255088-Hide-empty-fields-in-Email-Notification-is-broken#0
JotForm Support
Hello everyone,
We have implemented a feature that allows customization of email alerts without breaking the hide empty fields feature. However, for this to be possible we had to lock down the default table that contains the question and answer rows. Everything else outside of that table is free for editing though.
Note: You may choose to 'unlock' and edit the data table, but doing so will forfeit the ability to hide empty fields on the email.
Please do try it out and let us know what you think.
That a nice workarond but i have a question,
Is it possible to put for exemple on a upload field this {IMG:photo::200} without break the data table ?
And also remove some line ?
JotForm Support
You can place that tag anywhere outside the data table. That table is off-limits, so the answer to your 2nd question is no.
JotForm Support
By the way, you can add anything outside the data (q&a) table. You can even create another table for your own need, but please bear in mind that the hide empty fields feature only affects the data table.
I don't realy like this feature for me its not finish.
For exemple i need to put the Image preview of the upload next to the download link.
So I will need to make a double link.
It's not clean !
JotForm Support
The email editor is HTML-based, it is impossible to track down changes to the html codes that comprise your customized template and still be able to hide the rows that are empty.
This is the best workaround we can offer. Sorry about that.
Works for me, thanks!
JotForm Support
Hello ghobbins,
I am glad to know that it works for you.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!
I tried cloning my form, deleted all email notifiers, and used the default email template - but I changed to Text Mode - and ran the test. The blank fields came through. I take it this means I can't send text-only emails and use the hide blank fields feature? I can't send HTML emails to Lighthouse to create email-generated tickets, as it will just create a blank ticket.
JotForm Support
@ mikeopubco
I created a separate thread to your question here http://www.jotform.com/answers/578118
we will attend to it shortly.
Hello JF Support Team-
Has anything been done since 2013 to help with this issue? It is great there is a work around, but it would seem like we should be able to make edits to the table AND not have blank fields show. It really is unfortunate that it is an EITHER/OR situation 3 years later. Is there any chance of someone truly fixing the issue instead of relying on a workout that is super strict?
Thank you!
JotForm Support
Hello Sabrina,
I have moved your question to a new thread and you will be answered here: http://www.jotform.com/answers/776928

text: For the first time since 2010, senior finance executives across global regions are more aligned in their predictions of economic expansion, according to recent research from American Express (NYSE:AXP) and CFO Research. Overall, 72% of respondents predict economic expansion this year, while 17% say they plan to pursue aggressive spending and investment plans, compared to just 10% last year. As a further indication of their confidence, only 3% say they plan to decrease spending, down from 8% last year. The findings in the seventh annual American Express/CFO Research Global Business and Spending Monitor are based on a sampling of senior finance executives based in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia. European CFOs – whose economic expectations had been trending downward since 2010 – are now indicating a more positive outlook for growth. European confidence in the economy this year surged, with 68% of senior finance executives predicting economic expansion in their respective countries, up from 48% in 2013. The European region's economic expectations are now closer to the expectations reported in Asia (down from 80% in 2013 to 70% in 2014) and Latin America (down from 80% in 2013 to 79% in 2014). The U.K. accounts for part of the significant boost in optimism seen in Europe. Ninety-three percent of U.K. respondents are predicting economic expansion in 2014, compared to just 50% the prior year. This increase is likely the result of improvements in the U.K. economy over the past year, including several consecutive periods of GDP growth. Still, it may be some time before this improving outlook translates into increased spending and hiring. While 70% of European respondents say they plan to spend the same or more this year on headcount, just 60% of U.K. CFOs say the same – down from 64% last year. While other countries also saw slight drops in plans for headcount spending, the overall trend remains positive. Three-quarters of the finance executives surveyed (75%) say they plan to spend the same or more on headcount this year.

This he uses for justification to spend more of OUR money on unsubstantiated global warming that a glut of politicians are probably reaping huge financial benefit from. Kingfish obama has thus another hair brained scheme that will do nothing but pay back more of his election "creditors". Still there are idiots who will defend him on every illegal, expensive, unconstitutional move he makes. SOMETHING SMELTS VERY BAD IN D.C.

Vídeo Gay Online – Sexo Gay: Lawson Kane & Philippe Ferro
Smooth Lawson Kane and hairy Philippe Ferro take turns spotting each other as they do dumbbell flys. But shaved-headed Lawson has other ideas, rubbing his partner's chest and kissing him before feeding him his giant boner from above. Lawson reaches over to stroke Philippe's uncut cock, then sucks his standing bud as his own throbber grazes Philippe's leg — a great low shot looking up at the action. Philippe fucks Lawson's face, then sucks him again before the two come (coating Philippe's furry chest).

FY2017 H1B Cap Reached
As expected, on April 7, 2016, during the first week it began accepting FY2017 H1B petitions for an employment start date of October 1, 2016, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reached the congressionally-mandated FY2017 H1B cap. USCIS has also received more than the limit of 20,000 H1B petitions filed under the US advanced degree exemption.
FY2017 H1B Cap Lottery
USCIS will use a computer-generated process, also known as the H1B lottery, to randomly select the cap-subject H1B petitions needed to meet the annual H1B caps of 65,000 visas for the general category and 20,000 for the advanced degree exemption.
USCIS will first randomly select cap-subject H1B petitions for the advanced degree exemption. All unselected advanced degree H1B petitions will become part of the random selection process for the 65,000 general H1B cap. The agency will reject and return filing fees for all unselected cap-subject H1B petitions that are not duplicate filings.
Before running the H1B lottery, USCIS will complete initial intake for all H1B filings received during the FY2017 H1B filing period, which began April 1, 2016, and ended April 7, 2016. Due to the high number of H1B petitions received, USCIS is not yet able to announce the date it will conduct the random H1B lottery.
Cap-Exempt H1B Petitions
USCIS will continue to accept and process FY2017 H1B petitions that are otherwise exempt from the annual H1B cap. H1B petitions filed on behalf of current H1B workers who have been counted previously against the annual H1B cap, and who still retain their H1B cap number, will also not be counted toward the FY2017
H1B cap. USCIS will continue to accept and process H1B petitions filed to:
- Extend the amount of time a current H1B worker may remain in the United States;
- Change the terms of employment for current H1B workers;
- Allow current H1B workers to change employers; and
- Allow current H1B workers to work concurrently in a second H1B position.
US businesses use the H1B program to employ foreign workers in occupations that require highly specialized knowledge in fields such as science, engineering and computer programming.
Employers who wish to hire cap-subject H1B employees in the future will be unable to file until April 1, 2017, for a start date of October 1, 2017.

text: "Two other factors help support our positive outlook for 2013. First, we own a record 73% of our fleet. While we expect average utilization to be below last year's level, it should remain high since 82% of our fleet is subject to long-term and finance leases. Second, during the fourth quarter of 2012 we successfully closed several finance lease and purchase leaseback transactions and expect to further grow this business in 2013."Dividend On February 8, 2013, Textainer's Board of Directors approved and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share on Textainer's issued and outstanding common shares, payable on March 5, 2013 to shareholders of record as of February 22, 2013. This dividend is an increase of $0.01 per share from the prior quarter. The current dividend represents 44% of adjusted net income (1). "We increased our dividend by 2% from the third quarter, resulting in a 44% payout ratio. This is our twelfth consecutive quarterly dividend increase, continues our record of either stable or increasing dividends every quarter since going public and is a 22% increase compared to the dividend declared for the fourth quarter of 2011," added Mr. Brewer.

Tracy-Luckey employees Monday were still mourning the loss of plant manager Homer Gay.
Gay, 70, who worked at the Harlem pecan processing plant for 53 years, died after being hit in the side of his head with a 2-inch pipe, said Columbia County Coroner Vernon Collins after receiving results from a Saturday autopsy at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab.
"We are mourning the loss of what we consider a family member and we are just in shock," Tracy-Luckey official Ed Wicker said Monday. "He was definitely an employee that was a family member to all of us."
Tracy-Luckey officials had declined to comment immediately after the incident.
Harlem Department of Public Safety Director David Sward confirmed that investigators are preparing a report that he said would be available today.
Sward referred questions about Friday's accident to Columbia County sheriff's Investigator Stephanie Carani, who is investigating the incident.
She said the incident happened while some contracted workers were installing a new air compressor at the plant in downtown Harlem. They were attempting to stop a leak when a safety officer of the contracted companies or Tracy-Luckey approached and said, "Y'all need to get back or somebody's going to get killed."
Carani said the contract workers and Gay turned to walk away from the compressor. Gay took two steps before the pipe from the compressor blew off and hit him.
"It was a freak accident," Carani said.
Gay, a Harlem High School graduate, had worked at the plant since 1958.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration was notified of the fatality Friday and sent a compliance officer from its Atlanta office to begin an inspection.
The inspection would likely take weeks to complete, and a final report would be filed afterward, according to Mike Wald, the regional director for public affairs for the U.S. Department of Labor.
If OSHA violations are found, Tracy-Luckey could be cited and fined.

Coleman sticks with Toffees
Everton have agreed a deal to extend defender Seamus Coleman's contract for a further four years.
By Mike Barton
Last Updated: 19/05/10 3:05pm
Everton have agreed a deal to extend defender Seamus Coleman's contract for a further four years.
The 21-year-old full-back, currently on loan at Blackpool, has secured the deal after a string of impressive performances for both the Toffees and the Seasiders.
After joining from Sligo Rovers in 2008, the promising Irishman has risen through the reserves to the first team, where his home debut in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham saw him picked out as man of the match.
After initially struggling with injuries, Coleman has flourished further under Ian Holloway at Blackpool and is likely to appear in their play-off final against Cardiff at Wembley on Saturday, when they could be promoted to the Premier League
Coleman will return to Everton following the showpiece and he becomes the second player to commit their future to the club after Tim Cahill put pen to paper on a new deal on Tuesday.
Caught the imagination
With the experience at Blackpool seen as invaluable, Everton boss David Moyes spoke of how pleased he was with Coleman and how popular he could be at Goodison Park.
"I think he's someone who has caught the imagination of a lot of the supporters," Moyes told the club's official website.
"You've got to remember this is a boy we've taken from Ireland, we've paid £60,000 for him, we've brought him in and he's had very little of what I would call senior football. So we had to get him some games.
"He had a terrible injury in pre-season which kept him out and, if it hadn't been for that, he might have had more games and he might have even been further along.
"But I think these games for Blackpool, at the level they're playing at, will do him no harm at all."

Kurt Vile - Childish Prodigy 12 inch
Don't judge a book by its cover. Kurt Vile's long-haired hippie appearance may suggest West Coast roots -- even though he's actually a Philadelphian -- but his sound comes straight out of the underbelly of the Big Apple. With a slack-singing style reminiscent of Lou Reed or Alan Vega, and his vocals doused in slap-back reverb, the songs on Childish Prodigy shift between gritty numbers driven by guitar fuzz and steady ballads backed by one-key baritone drones. If this sounds a bit derivative of the Velvets, well, it is and it isn't. Childish Prodigy is split between drunken caterwauling and quiet hangover-recovery sessions, and both sides of the spectrum are fantastic. The band's spirit is captured perfectly, courtesy of Jeff Zeiglar's open-sounding recording style, and the indie underground rarely seems this fresh and free.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Contact Printing' started by Bruce Osgood, Nov 21, 2008.
Does anybody make contact prints using VC paper and a color head?
Thank you,
Yes, me, I do.
I also use VC papers occasionally for contact printing - Forte Polywarmtone using an Ilford MG head. However this paper seems prone to Newton's rings interference pattern noticeable in even tone areas like the sky. I've not yet tried other VC papers yet to see if these patterns appear.
Using graded papers (Galerie) and the same set up these patterns do not manifest themselves.
I had that problem with Polywarmtone as well, until I switched to the bad etched "anti glare" glass in my contact frame.
i found with my 8x20's I use Qriental Seagul and a Zone VI enlarger. I have also used my Azo enlarging light on my Bessller 45 (SP) with graded paper of the same make. I think it takes a little longer to learn over enlarging. I use a B&S contact frame just like I use for my AZO and PD/PL printing.
I thought Forte is out of buisness?
mike a
They are Mike, this is just paper I've stocked up on.
Interesting, I was just planning on doing this for the first time with Foma papers.
Me too.

Jamie's emergence into manhood was reaching its climax. On his trip with Mark to the Guadalupe Dunes his transformation from insecure surfer boy to self-assured young man - Mark's 'new man' - had been heightened by some wild sexual scenes involving Bob, Mark and the twins. Jamie had been the driving force. He was in charge and had cracked the whip - on one occasion even literally.
Mark was proud of the new Jamie, and the final act was to take place the following Saturday when they were both due up at Steve's house for the dinner the doctor had suggested. It was to be a gathering of four men rather than three men and a boy, where newly confident Jamie would be calling nobody 'sir'. Steve had suggested they come up in the afternoon for drinks round the pool before an early dinner.
Mark was a little nervous for Jamie's sake, hoping he wouldn't be intimidated taking his place as an equal among three stunning alpha males. Was it too much to ask of him? It had been Steve's idea, but was this another one of his crazy schemes, or a shrewd plan to put the final touch on Jamie's transition from boy to man?
Jamie had chosen to wear blue-jeans, flip-flops, and a navy blue Polo shirt that set off his golden tan and blond hair. The shirt was snug enough to show off his athletic build but loose enough to look smart. Mark had just come out of the shower with a towel round his waist and said, "Damn, boy, you look good enough to eat." They laughed as they looked down at the tent-pole under Mark's towel.
"I've got my swim trunks under my jeans, sir," Jamie said, "so I guess I'm ready for anything."
"Atta boy," Mark smiled, pleased that the self-assured tone was still there. Maybe this had been a god idea after all. On the drive up to the house Mark reminded Jamie, "Don't forget, for the rest of the day you don't call anyone 'sir'. You're one of the men."
Steve was at his front door to meet them and any residual doubts they had were immediately dispelled as Steve hugged first Mark, then Jamie. He held Jamie at arm's length and said, "Wow, all the rumors I've been hearing about you are true, man. Quite the stud. Come on, Lloyd's out by the pool.
Lounging by the pool Lloyd squinted up from his chaise and shielded his eyes. He looked flawless wearing a black speedo to preserve his tan lines. "Greetings, men," he said cheerfully. "You sure are a sight for dazzled eyes. The sun's perfect, guys, so get those damn clothes off."
He watched as Mark stripped down to his swim trunks, then gazed up at Jamie as he slowly pulled off his shirt. "Holy shit," he murmured under his breath as the tall blond surfer stood shirtless, his torso gleaming in the sun. "The, er ... the suntan cream's right there."
Jamie poured some from the bottle and spread it over his face and neck. Lloyd's jaw dropped as the young jock ran his hands over his shoulders, his chiseled pecs and washboard abs, then reached round to his back. He dropped his jeans, leaned down and oiled up his legs, so Lloyd had a clear view of his flawless ass pushing against his swim trunks.
"Oh, man," Lloyd said. "Sorry guys, but I gotta get a feel of this." He got up from his chaise, his gym-honed, tanned physique glowing, his handsome features lit with a smile. He had seen the change in Jamie right away - his confident stance, self-assured attitude, a cocky smile on his gorgeous face.
"Hey, so this is the new Jamie I've been hearing about. Come here, buddy. Give me a hug."
The two men, one blond, one dark, grinned at each other and their equally muscled bodies came together in in a cock-stiffening embrace. Mark looked questioningly at Steve.
"Don't worry, big guy," Steve smiled. "I have everything in hand. Just go with the flow, buddy."
He turned to the other two. "OK, if you guys can disentangle yourselves, who's for margaritas?" There was a full pitcher on the table and Steve poured.
They lounged around the pool sipping drinks and for a while it just was the silent language of the eyes - rather a furtive language as Jamie and Lloyd exchanged glances, their cocks still pumped from their hot embrace.
Steve and Mark lay on their stomachs on adjoining lounges grinning speechlessly at each other, their dicks growing hard underneath them. When their smiles began to feel inane Steve broke the silence.
"You know Mark, when you first came to my office for therapy all that time ago I was expecting some dumb jock cop with an attitude, and when you walked in I was speechless - not the best condition for a therapist to be in, by the way. You were so fucking gorgeous ... what does Bob call you, 'the most beautiful cop in creation'? I got an instant hard-on, and you know what? I still have the same reaction whenever I see you - like when you walked in today and stripped down to your swim trunks ...." he laughed ... "the hunk in trunks."
"Thanks, man, coming from you that's quite a compliment. It takes one to know one. I mean look at you .... sensational body, chiseled features. You're the mirror image of Randy - only the polished version. And I gotta tell ya, you're not the only one with a boner."
"Polished? Well, it's true that I'm not so handy with my fists as my big brother - or his boy for that matter."
Mark sighed. "Huh, there's a story brewing there too. Pablo's reaction to the new, macho Jamie bordered on hostile. And Bob tells me Randy's warning to the boy was so tepid they ended up sparring like boxing partners and Randy praising the boys fighting skills. Not exactly the best way to warn Pablo off picking a fight with Jamie."
"Yeah," Steve sighed, "Pablo can't let go of that old 'boss's boy' routine, and he's real antagonistic to anyone who threatens his position as senior boy. And I agree, basically Randy encourages that tough side of him. Don't worry, though Mark, I'll keep an eye on things and if the shit really does hit the fan I have a solution in mind."
"Don't you always? Hey, as you're the shrink with the drinks, how about a refill?"
"Coming right up, stud. And hey, you guys over there, if you can stop making cow eyes at each other how's about Jamie tells us all about his adventures in the dunes?"
The party was loosening up, the margaritas flowed, Jamie took the stage confidently and held Steve and Lloyd spellbound with his blow-by-blow account of his life-altering trip with Mark. "Man," he concluded, "you missed a mind-blowing sight there - two hot muscle-gods, the cop and the superman, roped together and fucking the bejesus out of each other. I guarantee you've never seen that before, eh?"
"Damn right," said Lloyd. "Hell, you should stage that again so we can all jerk off and shoot our wads.
Jamie grinned lasciviously. "Dude, there are other ways of getting your rocks off, you know."
He glanced at Mark to make sure he hadn't gone too far but Mark's proud smile reassured him.
The thought hung in the air until Steve plucked it down and ran with it. "OK, guys, quit making out like a couple of high-schoolers and cut to the chase. Mark and I have a ring-side seat and a couple of stiff rods. So just do it."
Jamie hesitated so Mark took him aside and they spoke quietly. "Is it OK, sir?" Jamie asked.
"Hey, Jamie, no 'sir', remember? You're a man now and a real man fucks when he wants to fuck, so go for it. What's it gonna be, big guy ... top or bottom?"
Jamie gave a full-throated laugh. "You have to ask, man? I think you know the answer to that."
He walked over to a chaise, pulled off the full-length cushion and threw it on the deck. "OK, Lloyd ... on your back, now!" Lloyd scrambled onto the cushion, lay flat on his back and gazed up at the young blond athlete towering over him, legs astride, arms folded across his chest.
Lloyd - himself a gorgeous man with a stunning body and face - had always been addicted to beautiful men, especially hot-looking muscle-jocks. He followed them around at the gym and then jerked off in the shower. Muscle worship was his favorite thing, especially when the object of his desire ended up shoving his dick in Lloyd's ass. That was why, every night, he beat off watching Steve strip off his clothes, then submitted his ass to him and begged to get fucked.
Boys were not such a turn-on for Lloyd, and before now he had put Jamie in that category. But now he was looking up at a real man, a dominant young jock who had clearly left boyhood behind. If Lloyd had seen such a muscle-stud at the gym he would probably have creamed his shorts.
He almost did now but Jamie's commanding voice said, "Lose the speedos, stud. Let's see what you got in there." Lloyd slid his hands under his speedos and pushed them down slowly over the bulge until his big, uncut cock sprang out iron hard.
"Yeah, I thought so," Jamie said. "Can't get enough of this, eh, man?" He raised his arms and flexed in a bodybuilder pose, showing off his hard biceps, shoulders and chest.
"Oh fuck," Lloyd breathed, "that is so fucking beautiful, man." He stroked his cock as Jamie went through several competition poses - pressing his fists into his hips as he flared his lats and flexed his washboard abs - thrusting his leg forward, displaying his muscled thighs and calves, the result of so many hours on a surfboard.
Jamie grinned. "That get you off, man, that hot surfer jock posing for you, flaunting his hot bod, flexing those muscles? That what gets you stoked, makes you wanna bust your load? You're a real stud, Lloyd .... bet you shoot a massive load all over those beautiful pecs of yours. Come on, big guy, let me see you pound your meat looking at me. Makes me feel real hot being worshipped by a hot guy like you. Look at that bulge in my shorts."
Lloyd was going wild. This was exactly what he loved most, what he longed to do with every hot guy in the gym. And Jamie knew this. Among the guys Lloyd was completely open about his body-worship obsession, and now Jamie, free of his former inhibitions, put on a show for him.
Jamie saw the pre-cum oozing from Lloyd's cock and grinned, "How about this?" He turned his back to Lloyd, leaned forward and touched the ground so his shorts stretched across the perfect globes of his ass. He reached behind him and pulled his shorts down over his ass-cheeks.
"Incredible ass," Lloyd groaned, beating his cock harder, pushing it close to orgasm. When Jamie turned round, the waistband of his shorts had been pushed lower, exposing his blond pubic hair and the base of his cock. "You wanna see it, man. You wanna see what the surfer's hiding under his shorts?"
"Yeah, man, let me see it .... please, buddy, show me your fucking rod."
Lloyd was mesmerized by the stunning image before him. Everything in the background faded as he watched Jamie pull his shorts down slowly, in short jerks, exposing his cock - inch after inch after inch. "Here it comes, buddy ... this is what you've been waiting for."
He finally yanked his shorts down so his cock sprang out rock hard and his balls hung over the waistband of the shorts. Lloyd panted, "Fuck ... oh fuck ... that beautiful schlong...." Jamie stroked it slowly, first with one hand then with two fists folded round it, making his biceps bulge.
It was too much for Lloyd - the tall blond athlete towering over him, the muscles of his perfect torso rippling in the sunlight as he stroked his penis, his handsome face rolling from side to side in ecstasy. Lloyd was pounding his cock to his climax but Jamie wanted to cock-tease him 'til it hurt so he shoved his cock back in his shorts and the frustrated architect stopped jerking off.
"I know you drool over those musclehunks at the gym, Lloyd," Jamie teased, "but you ever wonder what the guy does when he gets home? I'll show you." He walked to a nearby glass door and opened it, positioning it at an angle so he could see his reflection in it and Lloyd could see both the muscle-boy and his reflection.
"Here's what he does, man. Before he takes a shower he catches sight of his reflection in the glass door and he can't resist. He gets off on himself.... like this. Staring at his reflection Jamie ran both hands slowly over his abs, then up over his pecs, his neck and his face, then ran his fingers through his tousled blond hair.
He sighed deeply, "Man, that body feels great .... see that gym-jock getting off on himself, worshipping his own beautiful body? Makes him wanna show off the boner under his shorts."
He loosened the string of the waistband, pulled the shorts open exposing the mass of tangled blond pubic hair. "Oh yeah," he moaned, moving both hands back up to his pecs, then slowly lowering them down over his abs and inside the shorts, pushing them down until they fell round his ankles. Naked, he held out his arms to the side as an act of homage to himself.
He murmured, "Look at that beautiful young stud stripped naked ... the tan-lines round his gorgeous ass." He turned his back on Lloyd who gasped as he saw Jamie cup his hands round the white globes, then run his hands down his bulging thighs. Jamie turned back round, gazed into his own eyes in the mirror and stroked his cock slowly with one hand while he squeezed his nipple with the other. "Damn that feels good," he said to his own reflection.
Lloyd moaned, "Shit, man, that's fucking incredible ... so fucking hot." He stroked his cock again, lightly this time as he wanted this vision to last as long as possible before he came. A few feet away Steve and Mark, stunned into in disbelief, were doing the same thing, stroking their cocks, mesmerized by the sight of the young athlete getting off on himself.
Jamie squeezed his nipple hard, rolling it in his fingers, moaning louder as he applied more pressure and beat his dick harder. "Aaagh," he howled .... "the pain .... the pain in my chest."
His chiseled features flinched in agony as his head thrashed from side to side.
Jamie had entered his own narcissistic fantasy ... it consumed him and became real as he groaned to the young bodybuilder in the mirror, "They're torturing him, man. They've got the surfer tied up naked and they're torturing his tits ... his chest is on fire ... he can't take anymore .... he's begging for mercy .... stop ... please ... I submit...!"
Lloyd saw it all, exactly as Jamie described, the handsome young surfer taken prisoner, his beautiful body tortured, as he screamed for mercy. Lloyd yelled, "I can't take it, man ... I'm gonna cum. I'm gonna bust my load ....."
"NO!" Jamie abruptly ended the fantasy and dropped his hands to his side. "Take your hand off your dick, man. Now!" Lloyd had been on the brink of orgasm but he obeyed and his cock pulsed without cumming. Jamie walked away from the door toward Lloyd until he was towering over him, his youthful physique gleaming with a sheen of sweat. "Put your hands behind your back." Lloyd obeyed, pushing his hands under his back as if they were tied together. His cock still shuddered as he watched, hypnotized by the sight.
And the view was spectacular. Jamie went into another bodybuilder pose, his hands behind his head, arms out to the side, bent at the elbows. His voice was mesmerizing to Lloyd. "Watch this man." He took a deep breath and flexed his entire body as if in competition, his biceps and shoulders bulging, the slabs of his chest rippling, his abs razor sharp. And his cock was standing straight out before him like a pole.
"See that, buddy? See that naked jock posing for you, letting you muscle-worship him? You get off on that man, don't you, and you're dying to touch your dick. It's throbbing, you can feel the jizz straining in your balls. I can make you cum man. Look at this body, look at the cock and tell me what you want, man."
"Man, you're torturing me," Lloyd yelled. "You know what I want ... I want you to fuck me!"
"What's that?" Jamie said, flexing harder. "You wanna get fucked by the muscle-jock you've been worshipping? You want that gorgeous body leaning over you, his eyes burning into yours and his dick sliding in your ass? His dick's gonna torture that ass, man, and you're gonna beg for more ... you're gonna submit to him, man."
Jamie flexed even harder, making his veins pop out. "Look at that beautiful fucking stud, Lloyd. Look at that dick ... imagine it ramrodding your ass. You feel it, buddy? I know you can feel it - you can see that body pounding you, the face dripping with sweat as the young buck howls like an animal and you feel his jism slamming into your ass. That want you want, Lloyd? You want me to fuck your ass?"
Clenching his hands behind his back Lloyd flexed his muscles and screamed, "Yeah, I want it, man. I wanna feel your cum in my ass. Please, man, I'm begging you .... Fuck me ....fuuuck me ... aaagh!' His body jerked, his cock pulsed .... and blasted semen over his heaving chest, his face and his dark hair.
"Holy shit." That was Steve, slack jawed with amazement. He and Mark had watched in awe as Jamie, in the role of master, seduced Lloyd into a body-worshipping fantasy that ended with the handsome architect begging to get fucked in the ass.
"Jesus," Steve said, "that is exactly Lloyd's ultimate fantasy - going home with a bodybuilder from the gym, muscle-worshipping him as the guy strips naked and gets off on himself posing in front of a mirror. And now the climax of his fantasy - getting his ass fucked by the muscle-god. Damn, I could go for that myself - letting that sexy young buck fuck my ass."
Mark was glowing with pride (and lust) as he gazed at a Jamie he scarcely knew - the daring exhibitionist. "Steve, old buddy," he said, "even the new Jamie can't fuck both of you at once. But," he grinned, "there's always an alternative."
"Oh, Jesus," Steve gasped. "The minute you came into my office that first time my first impulse was for you to fuck me. But I was your therapist and professional ethics reined me in, so I could only dream of it. Well to hell with ethics. Now I'm just a guy begging to get fucked, like my lover is begging your boy."
Steve stood and, just as Lloyd had done, picked up one of the full length chaise cushions and threw it on the deck, end-on to the one Lloyd was lying on. He dropped his swim trunks and lay naked on the cushion on his back head-to-head with Lloyd.
Steve groaned as the cop locked eyes with his. Mark pulled off his swim trunks, his huge dick sprang out and he stroked it. "You sure you want this, doc? You want the cop's rod inside your ass?"
"It's been a fantasy of mine for years, man. And at last ....."
Lloyd was only dimly aware of what was going on behind him, so riveted was he by the sight of the naked surfer stroking his dick to rock hardness. Lloyd's Speedos were still just below his balls so he bent his knees, raised his legs and pulled them off over his feet.
"Hold it right there," Jamie growled. Lloyd kept his legs up, grasped them behind the knees and pulled them back, offering his ass to Jamie. "Man that ass looks good," Jamie sighed, letting go of his cock and using both hands to squeeze his own nipples, his cock sticking straight out and dripping pre-cum onto Lloyd. Lloyd groaned in desperation, "Don't cock-tease me anymore, man, please. I need that dick inside me...."
Jamie dipped his fingers into a jar of lube Steve had left on the table and greased up his dick. He dropped to his knees behind Lloyd's ass, grabbed his ankles and pressed the head of his dick between the cheeks. Then Jamie raised his head and looked straight at Mark, who had lubed up his cock and was kneeling between Steve's legs, facing Jamie across the two bodies. He matched Jamie by pushing Steve's legs up high and pressing his dick against Steve's hole.
It was symmetrical - Lloyd and Steve lying head to head, their asses waiting. Jamie and Mark faced each other pushing their captives' legs so far back that their feet touched and the men's hands linked together round them. They knelt on the opposite man's outstretched palms so they were trapped. Mark stared in awe at Jamie and silently mouthed the words, "You are so fucking hot, Jamie." Then out loud, "You ready for this, buddy? You ready to show these two hunks who's the boss around here?"
"You bet I am," Jamie grinned. "Let's do it."
Lloyd was on fire. "I want it so bad," he groaned. "I'm begging you. Please, sir .... Fuck me.... He was near to sobbing as he felt the surfer's long rod penetrating him, sliding down his greasy chute and pressing against the hot membrane deep inside.
At the same time Mark smiled at Steve. "Been a long time coming, doc, but here it is." Steve stared up at the Greek-God face and magnificent torso as he felt the cop's shaft push inside him, pull back, tease him, then push deeper and deeper. The doctor's chiseled features, so like his brother Randy's, winced in ecstasy and his muscles flexed.
"OK, Jamie," Mark shouted, "Let's fuck!" and in seconds man and boy were pounding ass. Lloyd was in a daze, gazing up at the muscle-jock he had body-worshipped. The cock he had gazed at in awe was now pistoning in his ass. And Steve's own dream was coming true, getting his ass pounded by the beautiful cop he had fantasized about for years.
For the first time Mark and Jamie were working together as two alpha top-men, gazing at each other in triumph. Mark was thrilled by his boy, seeing the passion on his face as he fucked just as Mark himself fucked. He was a junior version of his master, which turned Mark on to a pitch of excitement. Through his panting breaths he growled softly, "You are gonna get so fucking fucked, boy." Jamie grinned, "Thank you, sir."
As they hammered their captives' asses master and boy challenged each other. "That all you got, stud?" Mark said. "You call that fucking?" Come on man, make the fucker bust his load."
"You're on," Jamie shot back. "Ten bucks says I'll make my man shoot first."
They were transformed into two brawling buddies who had captured two men in a contest to see who could make his victim submit first. Sweat dripped off their faces as they impaled the asses on their pile-driving cocks, faster and faster, deeper and deeper, urging the tortured men to shoot their loads.
"Come on, man," Jamie yelled at Lloyd. "You wanted the jock's dick in your ass. Imagine those bodybuilders at the gym tying you to a bench and group-fucking your helpless ass, forcing you to cum. It's what you want, man."
Mark stared down at Steve, writhing helplessly beneath him. "Don't let me down, doc. It's what you've always wanted - the cop's nightstick in your ass. Look at me, man, the muscle-god reaming your ass. You wanna feel my jizz in your ass, you know it. But you gotta shoot first, doc. Come on ... do it!"
Behind him Steve heard Lloyd scream, "Yeah, yeah .... oh fuck ... fuck .... fuuuck ...." Lloyd's cock exploded for a second time and semen splashed all over his heaving body. Seconds later another scream and another eruption of jism - this time from Steve as he gazed up at the cop he had idolized for so long.
A jubilant Jamie smiled at Mark and said, "I win, man. My man shot first."
"Yup, you're the man, Jamie. You wanna finish them off?" He gazed into his boy's eyes as they still pounded ass. "Come on, stud, let's see what you got. I'm gonna shoot ... you with me?"
Jamie grinned, "Right there with you, big guy. Let's do it. "Aaaagh." Both muscular bodies reared up, muscles rippling, heads thrashing as they poured jism into the ravaged asses of the doctor and the architect.
Jamie let go of Lloyd's legs and pumped both fists in the air with a triumphant shout. "I am the best!" He was magnificent and Mark's eyes gleamed with lust as he said softly. "You are gonna get so fucking fucked, boy."
There was only one thing for it .... the pool. They all dived in and splashed and roughhoused with the exhilaration of four men glorying in their potent manhood.
Then Mark and Steve went to the kitchen to prepare dinner while Lloyd and Jamie, despite the glow of spectacular sex, fell into a discussion of the new house for Pete and Brandon. Lloyd was the architect and Jamie (with Bob's help) controlled the budget. This continued for a while at dinner, then Steve took over with hilarious tales of his patients (no names, of course).
But hovering over it all was a thick cloud of testosterone created by the earlier orgy of mind-blowing sex involving new experiences for all four men. So, no matter how congenial the conversation, sex still ruled. Mark shot meaningful glances at Jamie, while Steve looked at Lloyd, eager to be alone and try out some of the new ideas inspired by Jamie's erotic display.
So, by mutual but unstated consent the party broke up early and, after intense hugs and promises of a repeat performance soon, they parted. Steve and Lloyd went straight to their game room and Mark and Jamie sped off down the hill in Mark's truck.
Mark drove fast and they both knew why. He had been dazzled by Jamie's sexual virility which had intensified his lust for the macho young stud. Also, part of him needed to reassert his authority over his boy.
Jamie's feelings ran along the same lines. He had loved displaying his new role of top man to Mark, but it was kind of exhausting and he urgently needed to surrender himself to his master, to resume his role as the cop's boy.
When they pulled up at the house, the remains of dinner were still on the outdoor table and men and boys were still gathered round it. They stirred as the two came in, eager to get 'the scoop' as Darius put it, but as they crossed the lawn Mark waved them off with a "later guys" and they disappeared into their apartment.
Inside, Mark stared at Jamie like a bull in heat pawing the ground with lust. Jamie was still wearing his old swim trunks and had pulled on a thin tank-top in the truck. He stood almost at attention waiting for the command to get on the bed. But it never came.
"Man, you drove me wild this afternoon," Mark said. "You looked so fucking hot, such a fucking stud dominating Lloyd. He might as well have been crawling at your feet - Steve too. But the thing is, boy, you're mine .... you're the cop's boy ... and I want you .... more than I've ever wanted you before. Let me see that fucking body."
He reached forward, bunched the tank top in his fist and, with one jerk, ripped it clean off. He raked his hands down the boy's bare chest and squeezed his nipples. "You're cock hard?" he barked. "Let's see, boy." He grabbed the swim trunks and, like the shirt, tore them off and stared with satisfaction at the rock hard cock that sprang up.
"Damn, I love you, boy," he yelled. He clamped his hands round Jamie's waist, lifted him bodily and flung him down hard on the bed, on his back. Jamie looked up at Mark's blazing eyes as the cop stripped naked. He had never seen such ferocious lust in his master's face before and for a moment it scared him.
Mark spat in his hand, rubbed the spit over his cock and growled, "You see this, boy? See this cock? You know where it belongs?"
"In my ass, sir .... please sir."
"Damn right!" Mark launched himself forward onto Jamie's trembling body. He pushed his legs in the air and plunged his cock into Jamie's ass, making the boy buck and scream. "You want it, boy? You want it rough?"
"Yeah," Jamie moaned. "Please, sir, give it to me .... make me your boy."
Mark pinned the boy's arms to the bed and pounded his ass, more savagely than ever before. Jamie went wild, pounding his fists on Mark's bulging chest, then squeezing his nipples ferociously. "Fuck me, sir," he begged. "Hurt me, ream my ass, sir. I love you, sir, I'll always be your boy .... aaah .... you're making me cum. Please, sir ... permission to cum, sir?"
"Yeah .... here it is .... here's your master's jizz in your sweet ass. Cum for me, Jamie. Show me you're my boy." He watched as the macho young jock jerked under him, he screamed and shot a stream of cum that flew up and splashed on his master's chest.
"That's my boy!" Mark shouted and his own cock erupted deep in the cauldron of his boy's ass.
When his cock had drained Mark collapsed on top of Jamie, held him in a bear hug and kissed him ferociously, his cock still inside him. He slowly regained his breath and said softly, "You were spectacular today, Jamie. You made me hotter than hell. I always wanna see you like that - except in here. When we're alone you're my boy and I'm your master and I can fuck you as hard and as often as I like, OK?"
"Absolutely, big guy" Jamie smiled mischievously. Mark laughed at his impertinence, then said. "You wanna go again?"
"Yes please, sir. Absolutely."
The old saying, 'every cloud has a silver lining' works in reverse too. No matter how dazzling, every light throws a shadow and that was the certainly case with Jamie's brilliant transformation. The first flickering embers of discord had already been visible when Mark and Jamie came home from the dunes and all the boys reacted enthusiastically except one - Pablo. He saw Jamie's rise to manhood as a threat to his own dominant position among the boys, the 'boss's boy' as he persisted on calling himself.
Some conflicts take only a small spark to ignite them, but when they burst into flames the fire spreads rapidly. The spark in this case was struck several days later when Jamie had been working hard in the office with Brandon, going over the many details of the budget and supply requisitioning for the bungalow up the hill that Bob and Randy had bought and was to be remodeled for Pete to rent for himself and Brandon.
Escrow on the house had closed and Randy had designated a small crew to work on it, including several of the boys. The masters always gave the boys as much responsibility as possible, so Pablo and Darius were to head up the crew, Brandon would monitor supplies as they arrived, and Jamie was in charge of the budget under Bob's supervision.
It had been a long day for Jamie and Brandon as the budget was nearing completion and Jamie's nerves were a bit on edge, though Brandon's amiable company helped a lot. It was the end of the workday and Jamie stretched his limbs. "This is probably a good place to stop for the day, buddy. We can finish up the rest tomorrow. Bob said he doesn't need these figures until last thing tomorrow so we've plenty of time. Don't know about you but I could murder a beer."
Just then the office door burst open and Pablo marched in. "Hey, you got those figures for Randy? He wants them right away."
"No," Jamie said calmly, "Bob said they won't be needed until late tomorrow."
"That so?" sneered Pablo. "Well you got that wrong, asshole, 'cos Randy wants them now and he's the boss. You'll have to work overtime and let me know when they're done."
Weary as he was Jamie was needled by Pablo's high-handed attitude. He might have taken it before .... but not anymore. His alpha male kicked in and his voice took on a hard edge. "Now look, here, pal, Bob is my boss and I take orders from him. If Randy wants to override Bob, which I seriously doubt, he can come to me himself instead of sending his errand boy. The office is closed, Brandon and me are off the clock. So come back tomorrow, dude."
Pablo's temper flared and he jabbed his finger at Jamie's chest. "I don't take that kinda talk from no one, shithead, especially not some pretty-boy surfer with no guts. You've got that cop fooled into thinking you're now this big macho stud, but that's bullshit. I'm the boss around here, the senior boy, and I'll fucking wipe the floor with you to prove it. You wanna take this outside?"
Jamie restrained his growing anger and backed away with his arms stretched up in a truce gesture. "I don't wanna fight you, Pablo, but don't push me any further or, by god, I'll ....."
"Please," Brandon interjected, alarmed that the situation was escalation out of control. "Don't fight, guys, there's no need for that. Back off, Pablo, or...."
"Or what?" Pablo sneered. "Stay out of this, punk, and leave it to the big guys. Let me remind you, kid, you're in a wheelchair so what you gonna do? You gonna wheel yourself outside and beat me up? Yeah, like that's gonna happen." He shoved Brandon's wheelchair with his foot and sent it banging into the wall.
That did it for Jamie. One thing that made him madder than anything was hearing Brandon sneered at, and he sprang to his defense. "You worthless piece of shit," Jamie yelled. "OK, man ... outside."
They crashed through the door together and out to the lawn. Pablo, the skilled young fighter, trained by Randy, had quick reflexes and, in a kickboxing move, swung his leg high and slammed his foot into Jamie's stomach, sending him crashing to the ground. Pablo towered over him and jeered, "See what I mean, asshole? I can drop you or anyone else in a second. Get up, loser. Get up and fight."
Jamie pulled himself up painfully on all fours but Pablo kicked him again and sent him sprawling. This happened several times, with Jamie rolling over the grass clutching his stomach in pain. Pablo could have finished him off right there except that a strong tug on his arm pulled him away.
Brandon had wheeled himself down the ramp from the office and now rolled to Jamie's defense. Pablo spun round and yelled, "I warned you, boy .... stay out of my way or I'll hurt you." But Brandon charged again, only to be checked by a raging Pablo who shoved his boot against the arm of the wheelchair and pushed it over on its side, sending Brandon sprawling on the grass.
The distraction gave Jamie a moment to catch his breath and his rage exploded when he saw Pablo attack his friend. All the strength and courage that had been building in him over the last week now came to a climax in a burst of adrenaline and macho defiance. He sprang to his feet and snarled, "You fucking coward ..."
Pablo took a swing at him but Jamie blocked it with his forearm, then another. In surprise Pablo hesitated for an instant and when Jamie saw an opening his slammed the back of his fist against Pablo's cheek, sending him staggering backward. Stunned, he threw out his arms to keep his balance, leaving himself open to an onslaught of blows from the ferocious young jock.
Pablo was wearing his usual dungarees but the single strap had broken and they now fell down round his ankles. Near naked, he fell back against the wall of the house and Jamie was on him in an instant. He clamped his hand over Pablo's face and slammed his head back against the wall until Pablo's eyes went glassy and his slid down the wall and slumped to the ground.
In the fight Jamie's tank top had been ripped off his chest and his shorts were torn, and he looked a ferocious figure towering over his victim, his breath heaving. "See, asshole, Randy's not the only fighter around here. The cop you sneered at is a champion boxer and trained me to defend myself. And now the high and mighty boss's boy is gonna get what he's had coming to him for a long time."
He looked over to Brandon who had hauled himself into a sitting position. "You OK, buddy?"
"Never better," Brandon grinned. "I know how to fall. Go on, stud, give it to him."
Jamie dragged the naked Pablo onto his stomach in front of one of the floor-length windows of the house. Pablo groaned but was so dazed he offered no resistance. Jamie pushed his legs apart and knelt between them. He pulled his cock out of his ripped shorts and spat on it. With his free hand he grabbed Jamie's hair and pulled his head back so he got a view of himself reflected in the window - a blurred view in his dazed condition.
"See that, dude? Who's the loser now? You got beat ... you got thrashed ... and now the boss's boy is gonna get his ass fucked by the cop's boy." Jamie pushed his rigid cock between the cheeks of Pablo's famously perfect ass ... and rammed it deep inside him. The piercing shaft of pain jerked Pablo out of his stupor and he screamed and reflexively tried to claw his way forward.
There were low spikes along the edge of the flower bed under the window and Pablo grabbed onto two of them and desperately tried to pull himself forward off Jamie's cock. But his ass was impaled on the shaft and when Jamie pressed his hands down on the small of his back he was trapped. There was no fight left in him and there was nothing Pablo could do but endure the pain and scream.
Those screams brought the house to life, and it was Randy who reacted first. He and Bob had been talking in their bedroom upstairs. He ran to the window, saw that his boy was in trouble and rushed out the door. One of Randy's strongest instincts had always been to protect his boys, an instinct that overrode all others, especially logic. So as he ran from the house, followed by Bob, the big gypsy had only one thought in mind.
"Mother-fucker" he yelled racing toward the boys.
"Freeze," commanded a voice from the gate. Mark had been Zack's house across the street straight after work and, still in his uniform, he too had followed the sounds of Pablo's screams. "Leave them alone, man. It's between the two of them."
Distracted only for a moment Randy reached down and yanked at Jamie's torn shorts, but they came off in his hand and Jamie, immersed in his anger, never stopped hammering Pablo's ass. Yelling obscenities Randy raised his leg to stomp on Jamie but he was pulled back by Bob.
"Randy, do what Mark says. Leave it to them ... you'll only make things worse."
"Get your hands off me, man. He's hurting my boy." But Bob tightened his grip on Randy's arm. "Fuck you, asshole," Randy yelled. His anger raging he turned round swinging his fist which caught Bob on the jaw and he staggered backward and crashed to the ground.
"NO!" Mark howled and he sprang toward Randy, his own anger bursting into flames. Not only was his boy in danger from Randy, but he had just seen the man he idolized beaten to the ground by the wild gypsy, who was clearly out of control. He had to be stopped.
Randy was unnerved by what he had done, slugging Bob, something he had promised never to do again. But he had to save his boy who was screaming in pain as his ass got hammered. These conflicting thoughts made Randy hesitate in confusion .... and that was his undoing.
Mark was on him in a second, fists flying, every blow landing ... on his face, his chest, in his stomach ... until Randy was flailing round the garden like a rag doll. He made a few attempts at defending himself but his irrational anger had destroyed his fighting instincts and he was finished. With one last massive blow from Mark, the beaten gypsy spun round and crashed to the ground close to his tortured boy.
All Mark's professional instincts kicked in and he acted fast. Like any seasoned cop he pulled several sets of handcuffs from his belt and used his foot to turn the semi-conscious Randy onto his stomach beside his boy. He cuffed Randy's left wrist to Pablo's right and looped the cuffs over one of the spikes. Then he cuffed Randy's other wrist to another spike and did the same with Pablo so master and boy were splayed out on the ground face down next to each other.
By now the garden was getting crowded as the other men and boys came out of the house or home from work. Pete, Adam and Nate had come from the house next door and Pete had gone straight to Brandon and sat him back in his chair, none the worse for his spill. Nate, Eddie and Ben all stood close to Brandon in a state of nervous excitement.
In charge of it all was Zack who had crossed the street from his house with Darius. "Stand back, guys," he ordered in his deep commanding voice. "Just let this play out ... nobody interfere." Darius's ingrained reflex had been to grab his camera as he left the house and was now unobtrusively filming in the background. Right now he was focused on Mark.
Mark glanced anxiously over at Bob but saw that he was moving and being tended to by the twins who had come running from the kitchen. Then he turned his attention back to Randy who was stirring painfully and tugging at the handcuffs.
"You fucking bastard," Mark growled. "Once a caveman always a caveman, I guess. You slammed your fist across Bob's face and knocked that beautiful man to the ground, and you know what that means. I can't let you get away with that, man."
Randy managed to raise his head and look at the reflection in the window. He saw the cop unbutton his uniform shirt and shrug it off. He pulled his T-shirt off over his head and stood there shirtless in black uniform pants and his high black motorcycle boots. He stared at Randy's reflection. "You know what's gonna happen, man. It has to."
With his foot he pushed Randy's legs wide apart and knelt between them. He spat on Randy's hole, licked his fingers and pushed them in his ass to loosen it up. Randy groaned but made no move to resist. He was still reeling from having hit Bob and, in his own ritualistic code of conduct, he needed punishment to assuage his guilt.
Mark looked at Jamie beside him and said, "You OK, buddy?"
"Yes, sir ... just a few bruises. But I gotta do this sir ... for me and for Brandon."
"I know, kid. And I'm right there with you." He grinned wryly. "Guess we had our rehearsal with Lloyd and Steve the other day."
"Guess so, sir. Only this time it's for real." He turned his attention back to ramrodding Pablo's butt, a fuck that had already lasted a long time. Mark pushed his thick cock against Randy's hole and then, with one savage thrust, buried it deep in the gypsy's ass to the sound of Randy's howls that matched his boy's.
There was silence among the mesmerized onlookers, except for the faint sound of Darius's camera as he recorded yet another pivotal scene in the annals of this remarkable house.
In the background the gate opened quietly and Steve came in. Zack had called him when the trouble began and he had driven down here fast. He said softly to Zack, "What the hell's going on, Zack. No don't tell me. It's pretty damn obvious." He gazed at the extraordinary spectacle of the cop and his boy side by side, pounding the asses of the gypsy boss and his boy. "Guess we could all see this coming for some time. Nobody badly hurt, I hope."
"Nah, just a few bruises, hurt feelings - and two very sore asses. God knows where it all goes from here, though. Any ideas?"
"Oh yeah," Steve smiled, "I think we can steer this into a good place, Zack. I have a plan."
"Trust you, doc," Zack grinned. "I thought you would. That's why I called you. But right now I guess all we can do is stand back and enjoy the show."
