Chapter 39
“George, Mike,” Philip said, “meet my nephew Steve and his boyfriend Roger.”
We shook hands, and Steve said, “Uncle Philip, I think Roger and I qualify as partners now, don’t we? After all, we’re eighteen and we’ve been together for two years.”
Philip chuckled and said, “I stand corrected.”
“We just finished a big job,” Steve said, “and needed the pool to cool off.”
“Knock yourselves out,” Philip said, “then join us in the Jacuzzi, if you like.”
Philip led the way to a large Jacuzzi, which was built into the floor of the room. Its perimeter was tiled, and there were steps leading down into it. The four of us sat quietly for a while, allowing the jets of warm water to relax our muscles, and when Steve and Roger finished splashing around in the pool, they walked over and into the Jacuzzi. As they did so, I saw that their bodies were deeply tanned.
The boys settled in the Jacuzzi and sighed. “God, this feels good,” Roger said.
