Chapter 19
Chapter Nineteen
Joey spent time cleaning the barn before supper. Two weeks had elapsed since Felix’s father took him. Joey’s heart still ached. When he got to Sparkle’s stall, he grabbed Sparkle around the neck and sobbed. He didn’t think he would ever get over not having Felix around.
“Hi,” a quiet voice spoke behind him.
Felix? Joey thought. It can’t be. He turned. Felix stood waiting. “Felix…”
Joey rushed into Felix’s open arms. The two hugged and sobbed together.
“Gosh, I missed you,” Felix said.
Joey pulled back to look into Felix’s eyes and wiped a tear from his cheek. “I missed you more, Felix.” He took in the desire in Felix’s eyes. A look that he missed for two weeks.
“I told my father off, and he kicked me out.” Felix gasped between sobs. “Do you think I can stay here for a few days until I figure out what I want to do?”
“You can stay here as long as you want,” Joey choked out, still not believing Felix was back. “I can’t stand being apart from you.”
“Me too, Joey.”
“Loft. Now.” Joey commanded. He dragged Felix to the loft ladder.
The two scurried up the steps and were soon embracing again.
Joey grabbed Felix’s face and pulled him into a passionate kiss as Felix started unbuttoning Joey’s shirt.
They gasped for air as their kiss broke, and they tore the clothes off each other.
Before long, they stood naked, sporting hard dicks.
Joey pulled them down onto the horse blanket.
“I missed that hard dick,” Felix said, “and I missed you touching mine.”
Joey sank into the desire in Felix’s eyes, which excited him even more. “When your father made you stay in Blackfield, I came home with a hole in my heart a mile wide. I missed you so much and am so glad you came back.” He reached behind Felix’s neck and pulled him into another kiss.
Through their continued kiss, Felix’s fingers stroked the soft skin of Joey’s hard dick. Joey whispered, “God, your touch is magic. You make me feel so good.”
“You make me feel good, too, Joey. I can’t imagine my life without you in it.”
Felix kissed Joey's erect nipples, then tongued his navel. When Felix moved toward his hard dick, he gasped in anticipation. Felix’s tongue slicked across his slit, and Joey melted. “Oh, the things you do with that tongue,” Joey gasped. “My turn…”
Joey leaned over and kissed Felix’s hard dick, licking the clear liquid from the slit before taking Felix in his mouth.
“You’re going to make me squirt if you keep doing that,” Felix moaned. “It feels too good.”
Joey pulled up. “Let’s do each other at the same time.” He wrapped his hand around Felix’s dick. “I like watching your face when you squirt.”
“Okay,” Felix said, folding his fingers around Joey’s hard dick.
It didn’t take long before the two teetered on the verge. Joey tried to watch Felix, and Felix tried to watch Joey. Still, the intense pleasure caused both to close their eyes as overwhelming ecstasy washed over them, and the cream shot from their hard dicks.
Afterward, Joey gazed at the man he adored. “God, I missed that.”
“Me, too,” Felix said.
“Tell me about the gold chain and little cross.” Joey fingered the trinket hanging around Felix’s neck. “You didn’t wear that before.”
“It belonged to my Grandmother Bonner. She was a very loving person. She gave it to me before she died. I kept it in a safe place but put it on when I decided to come back to Sterling Ranch.”
“I’m glad you have at least one pleasant family memory, Felix. I know you had a troubled home life, but you never need to worry about being loved. I have enough love to keep you busy for a lifetime.”
“I’m so glad you said that, Joey. I love you, too.”
“Let’s get dressed and go in and tell Ma and Pa that you’re here.”
“I can hardly wait to see them,” Felix said.
They used hay to wipe off, get dressed, and climb down the ladder.

“Ma…Pa…look who’s here.” Joey and Felix marched into the kitchen.
“Well, howdy, stranger.” Grover’s wide smile split his face. “What brings you to Sterling Ranch?”
“Sterlings.” Felix grinned. “I missed you all so much, I decided I needed to come back.”
“Oh, honey, I am so happy to see you.” Mabel grabbed Felix in a hug, then kissed his cheek as she released him. “Joey's been powerful depressed without you.”
“Did your father let you come back?” Grover asked.
“No…I had it out with Father. He ordered me out of the store and out of the house. I left for good.” Felix looked down at the floor.
“I couldn’t take it anymore. The last straw happened when I dropped a glass vase at the store, and he yelled at me, saying he was taking the two bits out of my pay. I shouted at him and walked out.”
“Are you sure being on the ranch is what you want, son?” Grover said.
Felix knew Grover’s question came out of genuine concern. “More than anything, Pa. Sterlings are more of a family to me than I ever thought possible.”
“Your father is bound to come after you. What do you want me to tell him when he shows up?”
“Gosh, I hadn’t thought of that. I have nowhere to go but here.”
“Felix, you are welcome to stay here with us, but I want to be sure staying here is what you want. You are a man now and can make your own decisions. But I need you to tell me to my face you want to stay here.”
Felix looked deep into Grover’s eyes. “Pa, I want to stay here if you and Ma will have me. If I go back to Blackfield, I’ll run away to somewhere else. I cannot live with my father any longer.”
“Fine. Your word is all I need. When your father comes for you, tell him you decided to stay on the ranch with us. I will back up your decision and tell your father we welcome you to our home.”
“Thanks, Pa,” Felix said.
Grover stood up. “Come here, son.”
Felix walked over, and Grover wrapped his arms around him in a fatherly hug. “Never be ashamed of who you are, and never wonder where you belong. You are loved here; this is your home as long as you want to be here.”
Felix returned the hug. “Thank you.” Ma touched his shoulder, and he turned to her for a hug.
“Honey, no child should ever be without a family. We are here for you.” She released her hug, and Felix sat down. Joey beamed at him from across the table.
Felix was home.
