Chapter 4 : Cousin Leo Returns

Saturday afternoon was coming to an end at last after the usual lastminute rush. Five minutes before closing time Mikes cousin Leo appeared. This time instead of Mike he headed straight for Lewis.

Lewis looked up from serving a customer, saying, ‘Hi Leo, go through and put the kettle on.’ As he went through, Mike looked up from his customer and grinned at Lewis saying, ‘That was MY cousin just went through, wasn’t it?’

Lewis grinned back, he had told Mike earlier that Leo might turn up and if he did just to take his cue from him. All he had told Mike was that he had sorted out Leo’s problem but felt he could do with a few additional experiences. So, he had suggested he came back today. ‘I told him if he did it would have to be with the two of us,’ he had told him.

‘He’s here,’ Lewis said, ‘So he’s obviously prepared to include you, even if he did forget to say hello.’ He added with a grin.

They served their last customer, then shut up the shop, put the lights out and went through to the back room. Leo had made three coffees ready. He gave Mike a hug and said, ‘Hi cousin,’ which appeased Mike a little. As they sat around the table with their coffees, Lewis said, ‘Do you want to put Mike in the picture before we start.’

Leo looked at Lewis who smiled and nodded to him encouragingly. Leo swallowed, looked at Mike and said, ‘I’ve got a new assistant at work instead of the two I used to have. He’s eighteen and I thought he was coming on to me. I started to question my sexuality and was worried about me and Gwyneth. Lewis sorted me out and everything is great. I can deal with it all now.’

‘I’m sorry I didn’t feel able to discuss it with you,’ he said looking at Mike. ‘It was Lewis’s suggestion that I came today and brought you up to date.’ ‘Don’t worry about it,’ Mike said, ‘It’s always difficult to talk about personal things and as I’m sure you soon realised, Lewis is an expert at getting people to open up.’

‘Ok Leo,’ Lewis said, ‘First of all is everything ok with you and Gwyneth?’ ‘Yes great,’ Leo said, ‘As good as it’s always been.’ ‘Brilliant,’ Lewis said, ‘Remember that’s the most important thing. Now did you do what I asked you to do about Phillip?’ Leo glanced at Mike and looked a little embarrassed.

Lewis told him, ‘Leo If I had your problem, the first person I would discuss it with would be Mike.’ That seemed to help so looking at Lewis Leo said, ‘I tried not to act any differently, but concentrated more on things that were happening. I hadn’t noticed before but whenever there were no customers at the counter, Phillip always seemed to come much closer to me, then as soon as someone came in, he would move away. I couldn’t see any reason for him moving either way.’

‘Well done,’ Lewis told him. ‘Right, we have finished our drinks, so I want you to lie on the settee whilst you tell us what else you have discovered. Mike, will you sit on the end with a cushion on your lap.’

When Mike was in place, Lewis told Leo to take his shoes off and lie with his head on the cushion. Once he was settled, Lewis sat on the edge by Leo’s knees. Lewis said, ‘I know you are relaxed with me and I’m sure you’re relaxed quite a bit with Mike, but I want you to try and get more relaxed with Mike than you’ve ever been before, ok?’

‘Ok,’ came the response. ‘As I told you last time,’ Lewis continued, ‘I hope you can always contact me if you have a future problem, but I don’t know where life is going to take me. If you can relax completely at ease with Mike now, you’ll always have someone close to turn to.’

‘So, I will guide you along and, in the meantime, Mike will massage your head.’ Lewis said, nodding at Mike to begin his massage, ‘I asked you to look for some specific things. Did you see any?’ ‘Yes, all of them.’ Leo said. ‘Ok,’ Lewis said, ‘That’s good. But try and remember that Mike doesn’t know what we are talking about. I promised you I wouldn’t disclose anything you told me. So, I want you to try and bring Mike into the picture as much as you feel that you can as we go along, ok?’

‘Ok I’ll try,’ he said smiling up at Mike. ‘You have already told Mike you were questioning your sexuality,’ Lewis said, ‘So you need to try and open up to Mike with some more details. When we are talking about something I think you should explain more about to Mike, I’ll put my hand here and hold it still.’ Lewis said placing his hand flat between Leo’s legs. ‘But it’s up to you what you say Ok?’ ‘Ok,’ came the reply.

Lewis smiled at him. ‘Do you realise what you have just done?’ he asked. Leo looked puzzled. ‘I’ve just put my hand on your cock, and you didn’t bat an eyelid because you are so at ease with me. But it didn’t bother you that Mike must have seen me do it. That is an excellent sign of how much at ease you are with Mike already.’

Leo clearly hadn’t even thought about it. He blushed and looked at Mike. At a nod from Lewis, Mike reached out and put his hand where Lewis’s hand had been. Lewis put his hand on top of Mikes. ‘Most men’s problems are connected to their cocks,’ Lewis said. ‘We have both got our hands on yours so from now on, talking about your cock and anything connected with it shouldn’t be a problem with either of us.’

‘Now of the things I asked you to look out for what did you notice?’ As Mike resumed his massage on his head and Lewis massaged his stomach, Leo said, ‘I’ve already told you about him moving closer. The next thing you asked me to keep a check on was the front of his trousers. You were right, he definitely had a hard on, on several occasions.’ ‘Did you notice if his getting a hard on matched his moving close at all?’ ‘Yes, it did,’ Leo said, ‘Not every time but most of them.’

‘When you spotted it, did you get one too?’ Lewis asked. Another blush from Leo. ‘Yes, I did.’ he said. ‘Do you think Phillip noticed?’ Lewis asked. ‘I don’t think so Leo told him, but I can’t be certain.’

‘How did you feel when you realised you were erect?’ Lewis asked. ‘It felt exciting,’ Leo answered. ‘Mind you, if I had spotted it before I saw you last time I’d have been horrified.’ Lewis rested his hand on Leo’s cock, which he noticed had swelled very slightly.

As Leo looked at him, Lewis indicated Mike with his head. Leo nodded. ‘When I came and saw Lewis,’ he said directly to Mike, ‘I had no idea that having some experiences with another male was normal. Lewis talked me through all my feelings and convinced me that nothing I was feeling would affect me and Gwyneth.’

Mike smiled at him, ‘That’s why I left you to it,’ Mike said, ‘I knew no matter what your problem was, Lewis would sort it out for you.’ Leo looked up at his older cousin. Mike grinned at him, ‘Go ahead, ask,’ he said. Leo blushed again then said, ‘Have you had a male experience?’ Mike nodded. ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘And I’ve enjoyed every single one.’

It took Leo a few minutes for it to sink in that there had been more than one. He looked at his cousin in a new light. ‘Leo,’ Lewis said, ‘I think this would be a good time to demonstrate how relaxed you are and take your top things off.’

Leo sat up right away. ‘Sure,’ he said as he pulled them off. Mike helped him take them over his head. As Leo lay down again, Mike smiled at him and said, ‘I think the last time I helped undress you, you, were about ten years old.’ ‘We were going swimming,’ Leo said remembering, ‘and I got myself tangled up in my clothes.’

Mike resumed his massage, this time including Leo’s chest. Lewis massaged his stomach and then undid his belt as he asked, ‘During the full day, how many times would you say you made physical contact with Phillip?’ ‘How do you mean?’ Leo asked. ‘Well, when Mike and I work in the shop together, there will be occasions when bits of us bump into each other as we reach for something on the counter, or one of us steps back unexpectedly and bumps into the other.’
