{This is the story of a very young man who gets to spend a summer working at his newly widowed grandfather's horse ranch. Although straight, Albion receives much welcomed attention from his grandpa and the three ranch hands. He may not be gay, but he finds out just how wonderful life can be around four gay men who know how to use their hands to pleasure other people. In this part, grandpa learns all that is possible about his grandson's perfect body.}
*****
The boy was confused. In two weeks, just as he turns nineteen, his parents were sending him away for the entire summer. Now he knew he was intelligent, but he was a slow learner, at least as far as school learning goes, although he did get accepted at State University. He was a visual learner, which was good because he was passionate about art, the visual sort. But he couldn't understand was why his parents were sending him away for the entire summer to live with grandpa at his farm.
Now Albion knew grandma had just passed away so perhaps he was going to help grandpa through his grieving time. He always was close to his grandpa and had spent a lot of time at the ranch, learning how to ride and work the chores. He also knew that his grandpa was gay, but the young man knew he himself was decidingly straight. He loved his grandpa but they had little in common. Grandpa was a practical man, a hard worker, and a strong leader. Albion was an artist, a dreamer, and not very practical. And he was also a virgin and his mom, a free swinger herself, thought that was unusual for a young man entering college. Perhaps grandpa's ranch hands might encourage him to meet new girls and show him the ropes. Albion, even at almost nineteen, was very shy. His parents knew he was interested in girls but nothing seemed to happen in that area. Perhaps a summer at the ranch would help the process and learning practical skills on a farm would not hurt him either.
The only benefit Albion could see for himself was that he would have new landscapes and new people to paint. Whatever the reasons, and his parents did not feel the need to express those reasons to him, he was going to spend the summer on a horse farm, miles away from home and friends, most probably clearing shit out of stalls. Almost nineteen years old, he wasn't sure this was how he wanted to spend his time.
Physically he could use the work. Although he was almost nineteen, he looked more like seventeen. His physical maturity lagged and even at almost nineteen, he still had that comely, overtly cute face with skin smooth as a baby's ass, and very little body hair. Now, he had the beginning of hair under his arms and his pubic hair was pronounced but not all over the place. His body was firm and well proportioned and he had filled out. But he wasn't muscle-bound and there was a softness about his body that was very appealing to the females. They were comfortable with him as he did not present any kind of threat to them and they, alas, apparently didn't make him feel threatened.
His parents drove him to Grandpa's farm and stayed for two days to help him get settled and to see how mom's father was doing. Once they left, Grandpa introduced Albion to the three full-time workers on the horse farm. Albion did not know them, but these men were all gay (and very handsome), making him the only straight man on the farm. They all lived in the elaborate bunk house (Albion would be staying at the house with grandpa - after all, one reason he was there besides work was to give companionship for grandpa after the recent loss of grandma). Hank Gordon was 45 years old, the veteran of the group and ran the whole show; Joey Michaels was 36 and in charge of the horses; and Dakota Simpson was 24, and until Albion came along, the youngest of the group and a general fix-upper man for the farm. Dakota was the cook for them all and was studying to be a chef.
Grandpa was delighted to have his grandson join them on the farm for the entire summer (ten weeks in all). And Albion made his heart flutter - badly. I mean all these men were good looking - grandpa would hardly hire an ugly ranch hand. But Albion was a huge mark above the rest. He was flat out pretty and impossibly cute, with a body one would die for. Indeed, sometimes it seemed as if Grandpa was willing to die -not to have a body like that, but just to look at his grandson's body - all of it. . Alas, Albion was a shy one - it took him half a week at the ranch for him to take his shirt off in front of the others. Albion knew his grandfather was gay, or at least bisexual (he was married for forty years and had five children), but he was unaware that the three ranch workers also were gay. By the time he discovered that, all four men had already explored his privates.
The first few days of hard work had left Albion with very sore muscles and on the third night there, Albion heard a knock on his bedroom door and grandpa walked in, offering his grandson a back rub. Now, knowing that his grandpa was gay gave Albion a small pause. But he trusted his grandpa and also knew that he no longer was a child and could easily stop any unfortunate gestures from grandpa during the back rub. If, that is, he wanted to. He had been wondering if he would terribly mind if grandpa saw him naked while rubbing his back. Or even slightly touched his butt? He had decided that 'no', he wouldn't mind, as long as he wasn't asked to touch anyone else. One thing the boy was absolutely sure of was that he was as straight as they come. And although he never would flaunt it, Albion was very aware of his sensational great looks and noticed when people would just stare at his beauty whenever he entered a room. Naturally grandpa would want to see him in the nude at some point.
And who was he to prevent grandpa from one of the few joys he had in life? What would be the harm? He once read that gays always gave the best backrubs and rubdowns and he liked to kind of experience different things - especially since he had little experience in this area. So when grandpa asked about the backrub, Albion smiled and hugged grandfather, took off his shirt, leaving him only in his boxers, and lay down. Grandpa had brought some lotion, sat next to his almost naked grandson, and began, with love, to massage the young man's back.
