Jack and Ethan brought EJ and Jackie Chris to Connor and Jamel's first annual Fourth of July barbecue at their home in West Warwick. They planned to make it a tradition for their friends and family members to enjoy every year. Afia and her husband Tyrell brought Afia's niece Imani with them, who is the same age as EJ, and they instantly gravitated toward each other as they have done in the past.
June happily took JC from them and said, "Go play with your friends and not be parents."
Connor walked over to them holding his nephew's hand. Ethan narrowed his eyes at Connor who smirked at him as they came over. He said, "Go on, Freddie. Ask Mr. Ethan."
Freddie said in a low voice but looking Ethan in the eyes, "Mr. Ethan, is it ok if I play with EJ?"
Ethan glared at Connor who was still smiling. He said, "So Freddie and I had a talk about families and how some families are different than others. Where he has a mom and a dad, some families like EJ's have two dads and some families like Jamel's niece Kimberly have two moms. But just because families look different, it does not make them worse or better. Just different. I told him just because his father has a problem with it does not mean he has to too. And Freddie said he's cool with EJ having two dads."
"I really am! Honest!" Freddie said earnestly.
Ethan and Jack looked at each other. Jack turned to Freddie and said, "Go play with EJ, little bud. It's fine."
"Yay, thank you, Uncle Jack!" Freddie yelled and ran to catch up to EJ and Imani in the backyard with the other kids their age there.
Ethan looked at Jack. "Why the fuck am I Mr. Ethan but you're Uncle Jack to all the kids?"
Jack laughed. "Sometimes you have this old man vibe to you. Maybe roll around with them on the floor more."
Ethan rolled his eyes. He looked at Connor and started, "Look Connor-"
But Connor interjected, "Ethan, a lot has changed in these last few weeks for my family. But the most important thing you need to know is, I will not let Freddie become his father. That kid loves me and looks up to me. I'm always going to be in his life as his gay uncle and so is Jamel, his gay, black other uncle.
"So even though his father is a prejudice asshole and his mother is an enabling bitch, he has a good heart and strong willed, just like I was at that age. If I survived my father and came out accepting of others, he will too."
"But what is Matty going to say when they start hanging out?" Ethan asked. "Even if I allow it, he won't."
"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of that. EJ is one of his best friends. They've been together since diapers at Just In Time. And they're going to be in the same first grade class in the fall too. The kid got a spanking for yelling at his dad when he was told he couldn't be friends with EJ anymore, basically telling his dad to fuck off in that way kids do. That's how much he's missed EJ, he took an ass whipping.
"He's never going to turn his back on his best friend. Just like my best friend never turned his back on me, despite who my father is. He's six, Ethan. Don't punish the kids for the sins of their fathers. And grandfathers."
Ethan rolled his eyes and sighed. "You better stay in that kid's life forever, Connor," he told him. "I will hold you personally responsible if one homophobic or racist remark comes out of that kid's mouth."
Connor smiled. "I will. And more importantly, I promise to always have a good influence on him. Jamel and I both will. I've cut my father and brother off and Matty is never allowed in my house. But Freddie and my nieces are here with my mom and my sisters, both are cool with who I am and who I love and they will bring them by. So we all will be a good influence on him."
Ethan nodded. Connor reached out for a hug and Ethan gave him one. Jack smiled and joined in the hug. As Connor walked away Jack wrapped one arm around Ethan's waist. "You're doing great, Dad. EJ will be fine and so will Freddie."
Ethan was quiet for a moment watching Connor, then said, "I never really noticed but he really does have a great ass."
Jack's mouth dropped and he shoved Ethan hard who laughed out loud. "Fucking asshole," Jack growled at him feigning anger.
Ethan laughed and wrapped both arms around Jack. "C'mon, you know you got the best ass in all of Rhode Island." He kissed his face a few times and palmed his bottom until Jack relented and kissed him back.
Ethan said in his ear, "I want you. Now."
Jack laughed. "Yea? How is that going to happen? You gonna take me home now? Or you gonna bend me over somewhere here?"
"I want to bend you over a few somewheres." Ethan kissed his ear, talking into it. "The bathroom. The laundry room. Connor's bed." Jack giggled. Ethan continued kissing his neck. "The garage. The upstairs hallway. The office."
Jack laughed again. "I'm not going to say no if you're leading."
Ethan looked up at the crowd in the backyard, both of his children occupied and the music playing loudly. He took Jack's hand and led him through the house that they have visited many times hanging out with Connor and Jamel. They went upstairs to the main part of the house which was off limits to their guests today.
They started in the laundry room. Ethan sat Jack on the washing machine and turned it on. Jack watched him as he opened up Jack's jeans and pull out his cock which was quickly becoming hard in his hands as he stroked it. Ethan wrapped his lips around Jack and deep throated him repeatedly until he was ready to cum, then stroked him with his slit pointed to his tongue and Jack watched his Irish cream fill Ethan's mouth. Ethan stood up to kiss him and they played with his cream together. They left their shoes and socks there.
They moved to the living room, but Jack stopped by the kitchen to grab the olive oil first. Ethan made him kneel on the couch and took Jack from behind right on Connor's pewter blue loveseat, hard and fast. They moaned loudly with the music downstairs drowning out their sounds until Ethan came, thankfully just short of Jack cumming again to avoid jizzing all over their friends' couch. They left their pants and underwear there.
They moved upstairs to the hallway and took off their shirts. They sat facing each other naked, legs over one another and kissed and stroked the other until their erections were hard again. Ethan considered Connor and Jamel's bed but Jack opted not to, not really wanting to have sex in there just in case they didn't change the sheets.
Jack led Ethan to the second bedroom and told him to sit on the dresser with his knees up and cheeks hanging off, and proceeded to get on his knees and lick his hole for a long while until Ethan protested. Jack then inserted his cock inside of Ethan standing up and thrusting until he came inside of his husband.
Afterwards Jack laid Ethan on the bed and gave him a slow blow job until Ethan filled up his mouth with Irish cream. Jack kissed him and again they played with Ethan's cream until it dissolved between them. Naked and exhausted, they fell asleep until Jamel knocked on the door waking them up.
"Um boys, you do know this is not your house, right? But don't worry, there will be payback." They laughed at Jamel's threat. "Your clothes are right outside the door. Get dressed, we're heading out soon for the fireworks in Rockville."
Ethan and Jack said ok but laid there a little longer, holding onto each other. Jack said, "If this was your way of making me feel desired, you succeeded." Ethan didn't answer at first. They kissed and held each other a little while longer watching the sun set in silence.
In the evening they all went over to Wincheck pond for the annual fireworks. JC fell asleep in the car but woke up to the sound of the fireworks, which she did not like and cried, so Jack put on the baby carrier and they decided to leave. EJ, looking happy between Freddie and Imani, insisted on staying until the end, so they asked Mina and June to both keep an eye on EJ and bring him home later or take him to his grandmother's house if he wanted.
As Jack and Ethan made their way back up the hill, they passed by Connor and Jamel sitting on a blanket, holding hands and making out like no one was around. They smiled at each other then walked up to them. Ethan cleared his throat. They regretfully pulled their lips from each other and looked up at them.
Ethan teased, "You two look cozy." They looked at each other and smiled, then kissed again.
"We're heading out now. Jackie doesn't like the booms," Jack said. "Not bad for your first annual barbecue, guys. It was a fun day so thanks for that. We'll do it all again next year."
Connor scoffed and said, "I'm pretty sure you don't know a fucking thing that happened at the barbecue today." Jamel laughed.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," said Ethan innocently. "We're still on for dinner Friday night?"
"Yea, we'll come to you," Jamel said.
"Cool." Ethan took Jack's hand. "See you at work tomorrow, Connor. Good night, guys."
As they started walking away Connor called after them, "Are you at least going to tell me which rooms I have to bleach and disinfect?"
Jack and Ethan laughed out loud and kept walking. As the sound of the fireworks faded in the background, Ethan said, "Remember my first Fourth of July here, when it was you, me and EJ sitting on a blanket?"
