| Blind Man's Bluff |
| Not knowin' what else to do, Rosco had hightailed it back to the Sheriff's office. He'd been panicked when he left the Duke farm. The rage in Luke's eyes had been nearly murderous. And he supposed he really couldn't blame him. He wouldn't like bein' spied on in his own house neither, especially not doin' what the Duke boys' was doin'. "Not that I'd EVER do what they was doin'! No, sir! No, not me! Ohhhhh, no!" He hugged poor Flash so tight the dog couldn't move. Now, what you've got to understand here is this: most folks hereabouts usually think of Enos as Hazzard's oldest virgin. They'd be wrong. Think about it � you've met Rosco's mama. She keeps him on a pretty short leash. And modern 'amenities' like VCR's and the internet haven't come to Hazzard yet, probably never will. The only time most folks get to see a porno film is when somebody mail-orders one for a bachelor party. And I don't know about you, but I don't see ol' Rosco gettin' invited to a lot of those � So gay or straight, Rosco ain't never seen nothin' like this. It shook him to his core. It took him almost an hour of fussing and figuring and worrying at it to realize that watchin' Bo and Luke had gotten him turned on. And THAT knocked him for a serious loop. "Flash? That don't mean � no, it can't. I couldn't be � no sir, not me. I'm the Sheriff! That's a MANLY kind of job, no room for no sissies. No sir, no sissies here!" Now, Rosco knew he had a serious decision to make. Normally, if he'd found out anything about the Dukes that Boss could use against them, he'd tell him in a heartbeat. But something about this seemed wrong to tell, especially seeing as he had no business seeing it in the first place. And besides, if he told Boss about the Duke boys, he might let slip about how he'd reacted. "Nope, Flash, I think this time I'd better keep my mouth shut. Zipped shut tight, and throw away the key. I ain't tellin' nobody � not even Boss." Unfortunately for poor Rosco, Boss came out of the back office just in time to hear that last bit. Now, Boss don't take kindly to anybody holdin' back anything from him, least of all his right-hand-man. His face looked like he'd been sucking on a sour lemon as he turned on Rosco. "And just what was you plannin' on NOT tellin' me?" One pudgy finger poked into Rosco's chest. You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men � and Rosco's backbone was more mouse than man. But he tried �"Uh, nothin', Boss �" Boss' beady eyes narrowed. "Rosco �" That menacing voice was all it took to crack Rosco's resolve. "It's them Duke boys, Boss � I � I kinda saw something out at the farm this afternoon �" Boss' eyebrows were trying to fuse into one. Why on earth would Rosco be holdin' back on somethin' about the Dukes? "Well? What was it?" Rosco took a deep breath. "Um. Well, uh, you see, I had just heard Jesse and Cooter talkin' in town about the boys, about how they needed some time alone for Luke to comfort Bo � and I got to thinkin' about how scared Luke was when we took Bo to the hospital, how mad he got when I wouldn't help. I got to wonderin' if Jesse was hintin' at something � umm, you know, unnatural. So I drove out to the farm to see for myself." Boss' eyebrows had moved the other direction as his eyes got wide. Bo and Luke were lovers? That shocked him more than anything those Dukes had ever done. The fine, morally-upstanding Duke family involved in something as base, as deviant, as this? It was beyond comprehension. He needed more info. "And? What did you see, Rosco?" Poor Rosco just didn't have the words do describe what he'd seen, and his face was almost as red as Boss' got when he was mad. "Um, well, Bo and Luke was there alone in the parlor; I could see right in the big picture window. They wasn't payin' no attention to anybody but each other. When I got there, they was kissin �" Rosco's voice squeaked on the word. He swallowed hard. "Then Bo started takin Luke's shirt off, an' then his pants, and lordy I ain't never seen nothin' that big!" Rosco squeaked to a stop again, and it took Boss a minute to figure out the 'big' he was talkin' about was Luke's dick. Part of him was appalled, but he was already thinking about how he could use this against the Dukes. He wanted to hear every last bit of it. "And? Rosco, what happened then?" The eager look on Boss' face gave Rosco a moment's doubt, but he knew better than to try to stop now. So he took a deep breath and pushed on. "Bo started, you know, touchin' him there, lickin' him � you know�" Rosco could still see the look of delight on Luke's face as Bo had sucked him, and part of him desperately wanted to know what that felt like. But the return of Boss' scowl encouraged him to finish this. "After a while, Luke just sort of arched up off the couch and cried out, then they just sort of laid there together for a couple of minutes until Luke opened his eyes and looked right at me � that's when I ran �" Rosco's story had brought back an old memory Boss hadn't dug up in years. But now was the time to use it. "Well, if that don't beat all. Bo givin' Luke a blow job. Disgustin'. But not surprising, given that Jesse Duke raised them." He let the words fall over Rosco, testing their shock value. It worked. "Boss? What � whaddaya mean by that?" Rosco looked totally overwhelmed. "Rosco, I haven't thought about this in 40 years, but now it all makes sense. Back when I was just a lad of 18, Jesse Duke tried to put the moves on me. I was a scrawny little thing back then, Jesse was a couple of years older and a lot bigger than me. I barely escaped with my virtue intact. He got away with it because he married Martha, but now that she's gone, he's gone back to his old evil ways, and I'm sure he's taught those boys the same. It's not their fault that he ruined them, but that ain't gonna stop me from usin' them to get my revenge against him. Oh, this is too good to be true! We've got them now!" Now, y'all don't think that's REALLY how it happened, do you? Even ol' Rosco realized that something about Boss's story just didn't ring true, but he was way too confused and embarrassed at the moment to sort it out. And he felt guilty for spilling the beans. "Boss? How � how are you gonna use this to get them?" "I don't rightly know as yet, Rosco, but I'll think of something!" And luckily for Rosco, Boss was so busy thinking about that he forgot to wonder why Rosco had been so reluctant to tell him in the first place � ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jesse already had a lot on his mind when he walked through the door, but the looks on the boys' faces warned him that somethin' else was coming. They sat together on the couch, Bo's head pillowed on Luke's shoulder, lookin' like they had just lost their best friend. "Boys? What's wrong?" As usual, Luke took the lead. "Well, after you left, we kinda were doin' exactly what you'd think � what we didn't realize until too late was Rosco was sneakin' around outside, watchin' us." Jesse's face went white. "Rosco saw you? Actually SAW you?" Luke nodded. "He was standin' just outside that window �" Jesse suddenly realized that the boys hadn't gone back to their bedroom. "Now what the heck was you two doin' foolin' around out here? Ain't you never heard of doin' it behind closed doors, where nobody can see ya?" His anger at the situation came through in his voice, and it scared Bo. He cringed back against Luke, who hugged him tight as he answered Jesse. "Well, yeah, but nobody was around here, and we should have been able to hear if anybody drove up. Rosco must have parked out by the road and snuck up on the house all quiet-like. It's like he came here looking to see something he wasn't supposed to!" "Yeah, I know I would have heard him, Uncle Jesse! I got nothin' to do but listen now!" Bo's words pierced Jesse's heart. As he calmed down, he realized he'd scared the boy, so now he came over and touched his arm. "I'm sorry, son. Didn't mean to scare you. It's Rosco I�m mad at, not you two. So I guess Boss knows by now." Luke nodded. "I reckon so. Wonder what he'll do?" Jesse shook his head. "Boys, I hate to have to ask, but I got to. See, sodomy is still illegal in this state. A conviction would violate your probation. But only if what he SAW was illegal. Exactly what did he see?" Luke's face paled as he realized what Jesse's words could mean for them. It had never dawned on him to think that what they did in love could possibly violate their probation. He felt like an idiot for not considering that. He could feel Bo tense up with fear, so he began gently stroking his lover's arms to comfort him. Not wanting Bo to have to say the words, he quickly spoke up. "I'm not sure how long he was standin' there, but the worst he saw was Bo givin' me a blow job." His face was red, but he managed to look Jesse in the eye as he said it. Jesse wasn't all too comfortable hearing it, but he was determined to make this as easy on the boys as possible. "OK, I'm gonna have to do some research on exactly what the law says, but I think you should be safe. But even if he can't convict you, he can still tell the rest of the town about you, and that could be bad enough." Luke nodded. "We know, we've been talkin' about that. We'll find a way to deal with it." Jesse nodded. "I know you will. And Daisy and I'll be behind you all the way, you can count on that." He got up and put his arms around both of them, holding them close. "One more thing. Don't you let this come between you. Don't be afraid to love each other, or Rosco wins." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That night after Daisy left for work, Jesse retired early, too much on his mind between the boys and Cooter's proposition. He'd thought about talking to the boys about it, but realized they had enough on their plate right now without worrying about him. Bo sat at the kitchen table while Luke finished cleaning up from dinner. Done, he came to the table and caught Bo's hands, bringing them to his lips for a gentle kiss. Despite his worry, Bo couldn't help smiling at the romantic gesture. He felt Luke's hand sliding through his hair, so he leaned into the touch. "You ok, love?" Luke asked softly. Bo shrugged. "Been better. But I got you beside me, so how bad can it be?" Luke's arms wrapped around him, and a gentle kiss fell on the top of his head. "I do love you, Bo. Don't ever forget that." Bo held tight. "Me too, Luke. Laws or not, you're the best thing that ever happened to me." The words warmed Luke's heart. "So how about lettin' me show it? We kind of got interrupted this afternoon before I could return the favor �" He could feel Bo tense up in his arms. And then the deliberate relaxation as Bo pushed the thoughts of Rosco spyin' on them out of his mind. Finally, Bo smiled up at him. "Lead the way, cousin." Luke took Bo's hand and headed back to their bedroom. He made sure the curtains were closed before he turned and pulled Bo into his arms, kissing him. They fell together to the bed, still holding tight. In the afternoon it had been Bo's need to DO something that had driven their loving. Tonight it was Luke's turn. He slowly undressed Bo, taking time to kiss every inch of exposed skin, even placing the tenderest kisses on Bo's sightless eyes. Bo felt himself relaxing under Luke's touch, the stress of the past couple of days finally letting go. Even when Luke drew him into his mouth, it was almost soothing, drawing a soft sigh of contentment from deep inside him. Luke sucked him slowly, drawing it out, getting Bo as mellow as possible. But finally he couldn't wait any longer, so he crawled up over Bo, claiming his mouth again. When he let go, he asked softly, "Bo, honey? I want to make love to you. Is that ok?" // Yes! // Bo's heart screamed. But there was that niggling doubt. "Luke? Should we? I mean, from what Uncle Jesse said, we could go to jail for that!" Luke's hands continued their soothing caresses. "I been thinkin' about that, Bo. Technically it's illegal, but only if they actually catch us doin' it. And like Uncle Jesse said, we can't let that come between us. I love you so much, Bo, I want to become one with you. And besides, we Dukes always did what's right moreso than what's legal �" Bo had to chuckle at that. "Well, you got a point there." He pulled Luke's face down to kiss him, giving him his answer without words. Luke slowly worked his way back down Bo's body until once again his head settled between Bo's long legs. He caressed the insides of Bo's thighs, and the sensitive place where leg joins body. Sucking Bo's balls one at a time into his mouth, he rubbed the place behind them, wringing a soft moan from Bo. Bo simply laid there, his entire consciousness focused on what Luke was doing to him. Considering how lousy he'd felt just 24 hours ago, this pleasure, this contentment, was pure joy. He forgot to worry about what Boss was gonna do, or even whether he was ever going to see again. Being blind wouldn't be so bad if it made him this sensitive to Luke's touch. Luke prepared him gently, kissing and licking his balls while his fingers did their work. Bo was nice and relaxed, opening up easily. Luke looked up to see a positively angelic expression on Bo's face, and it made him want him even more. "You ready, lover?" he asked softly. "Yeah," came the equally soft reply. Luke got into position, lifting Bo's legs onto his shoulders. It only took a gentle push and he was in, Bo's tight, hot channel pulling him in ever deeper. Luke's deep groan of pleasure was music to Bo's ears. Luke moved slowly at first, plunging in deep, then slowly pulling almost all the way out. But he wanted more contact, so he plunged in deep, then let go of Bo's legs. Bo knew what Luke wanted. He wrapped his legs around Luke as his lover stretched out over him. He met Luke's kiss with equal passion and love, holding him close. They moved together, slowly working their way to the peak of their pleasure, until they both gave soft cries of release. Luke gently pulled away and slid down to lay beside Bo, feeling his cousin's arm pulling him close. Content, they were soon asleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Down the hall, Jesse couldn't sleep. Worries about Bo and Luke got all tangled up with the thoughts Cooter had triggered this afternoon. It seemed maybe the world hadn't changed as much as he'd been thinking. The idea that something done in love could get the boys thrown in jail when Rosco and JD ran their crooked little empire untouched really irritated him. It offended his sense of justice. Especially since it had been JD who'd started the whole thing in the first place. And the fact that JD had been the only man he'd ever touched offended his sense of good taste. // The things we do when we're young and stupid � // If he hadn't let JD seduce him that one night, he might have not known any different and been able to be a real husband to Martha. // Dang it, no use cryin' over spilt milk. // Now, just when he was thinkin' about giving romance one more try � or at least a little friendly foolin' around � Rosco had to go and spy on the boys, remindin' him of how unfriendly the world still was to men like them. Truth was, it still scared him. Part of him wanted so bad to let Cooter touch him, give him the pleasure he'd foregone all these years. But he'd paid such a price to avoid being caught all these years, it was hard to take the risk now. As he lay there tossin' an' turnin', he became aware of sounds coming from down the hall. It wasn't long before he realized what was goin' on. He remembered his words to Bo and Luke this afternoon � to not let this come between them, to scare them away from each other. It sounded like they'd taken that advice to heart, and Jesse found that it warmed his to hear them together. // Maybe I should take my own advice? // The thought appeared out of nowhere, leaving him stunned with the simplicity of it. All the tangled thoughts unraveled, showing one clear path. A soft smile on his lips, he let himself imagine Cooter's lips touching him in ways he hadn't been touched in 40 years � Continue on to Chapter 5 Send me some feedback Back to the Other Fandoms Index Back to Jade Palace Home Disclaimer: I don't own them, just borrowing them for fun, not profit. |
