Page 25 of Holding On to a Hero
I was a little stiff getting out of the truck, but in the interest of avoiding the Spanish Inquisition I decided I could stretch once I got to my bedroom. I hurried to the front door but it opened before I could reach for the handle.
Ally blocked the doorway, arms crossed over her Incredible Hulk pajamas. “Wow, Will, home before midnight. I was hoping you’d stay out all night.”
“Move aside, Ally.” I shoved past her into the house. At that moment my phone chimed again with another text.
“Ooooh, they’re texting you. Making sure you got home safely, or something a little more interesting?”
“I have no idea. I’m going to bed. I’ll see you in the morning.” Wise to her ways, I put my hand over the phone in my back pocket and walked as swiftly as I could toward the hallway to the bedrooms.
Ally grabbed my arm but matched my speed. “At least tell me how the date went, asshole,” she whisper-yelled as we passed Abby’s room.
Giving in to the inevitable, I stopped at my bedroom door and told her, “It was fine.”
“It wasfine? Fine as in good, or fine as in meh?”
“Good, it was good. I’m seeing them again Saturday night. Are you happy now? Can I please go to bed?” And of course my phone chimed again.
Ally’s mouth spread into a self-satisfied smile. “Sure, Will. I’m glad you had a good time. We’ll talk more in the morning.” Not if I could help it. “But I think you’d better check your messages before you go to sleep though.” She winked, patted my shoulder and strolled down the hall to her room.
Fucking siblings.
I quickly ducked into my room, making sure to lock the door behind me. If I’d been able to, I would have taken a running jump to land on the bed like a teenager, but I had to settle for sedately sitting down before I turned on the bedside lamp and unlocked the phone.
Holy shit. Jason had indeed texted a photo. What a photo. No faces and no dicks, which made sense given Cole’s fame. But the two torsos snuggled together, pecs and well-defined abs shiny with cum, were mesmerizing. Jason’s broader and larger chest sported a soft-looking pelt of hair I just wanted to run my fingers through. Cole’s baseball player-type build was on full display, wide shoulders and narrow hips, not much chest hair but a distinct treasure trail that just begged me to follow it.Damn.
I was so caught up in ogling the photo that it took me a long moment to register the caption that had been sent with it,Thinking of you.And then another text, the one that had come through while I was trying to fend off Ally, asking whether I had gotten home safely. They were more likely wondering if I was freaking out again.
I dashed to the attached bathroom as quickly as I could, brushed my teeth and got naked. I grabbed a towel and slid back into bed.
Will: Sorry, I had to endure the Inquisition when I got home. Thank you for the photo – it’s…inspiring….
Saving the photo to my phone, I snatched the lube out of the nightstand. I ogled Cole and Jason’s bodies and imagined myself with them, touching them. It seemed like I’d been hard all evening, so it only took me a few strokes to get fully erect again. My phone chimed as a text replaced the photo on my screen.
Jason: We aim to please. ;-) Feel free to show us how much you liked it
I set the phone down so I could fondle my balls while I jerked off. The thought that Jason and Cole knew what I was doing right at that moment was enough to quickly send me over the edge. I had to wait to catch my breath before wiping my hands off so I could take my own selfie. I left my face out of frame, but I decided I wasn’t worried about including my dick. My belly was a little soft but the front of my body was free of scars, and I thought the splatters of cum were highlighted well by the lamp next to me. I couldn’t refrain from some minor cropping, but I didn’t add any filters.
Will: [photo] Can’t wait to come see you Saturday

Saturday morning found me wide awake by 7:00am. I did yoga for thirty minutes before taking a quick shower and heading to the kitchen to start breakfast. I was considering taking Abby to Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve off Loop 360 later. Abby liked the waterfall and the trails were easy, and Ally could have a few hours to herself before my overnight at the ranch.
Every time I thought about the night to come my brain split itself between arousal and nervousness. Cole and Jason had done a lot to ease my worries on Thursday night, so I was doing a pretty good job convincing myself I was just having normal dating jitters.
I’d just started the bacon, or as I liked to call it, the magic smell alarm, when my phone rang. Jason. It was too early for him to be calling to cancel. I hoped.Dammit, remember to be optimistic.
“Hey, Jason, how are you?” I greeted him with a smile in my voice.See me being optimistic.
“Good morning, Will. Sorry to call so early. If you still didn’t have any plans today, I wanted to see if you were interested in coming over this morning instead of tonight? We got a call about some animals in a hoarding situation, and we’re bringing some of them to the ranch. Cole and I wanted to get some pictures of their arrival if you’d be up for that.” I started to reply when Jason spoke again. “And this would let us spend more time with you this afternoon too. I don’t want you thinking we only want you to come over for your photography. But obviously you like animals and we’re hoping to be able to have some before and after shots of the animals as they get healthy again. And of course we’ll bring you home tomorrow whenever you like. I’m sorry I’m rambling. I’ll stop talking now.”
I chuckled. Was it wrong that I liked that he seemed just as awkward as I felt? “That sounds good, Jason. I’d love to come over early, and I can help with anything you need, not just photos.”
“Great, that’s great.”
I eyed the breakfast I’d started. “When do you want me to come over?”
“Oh, um. Well, I’m actually downtown right now. I was going to meet with my brother Brian.” Brian was Jason’s partner in their security company, I remembered. “But that can wait til next week.” He laughed. “Brian doesnotwant to help with the animals. Anyway, if you’re free I thought I could pick you up and you could come with me to the feed store on the way back to the ranch.”
