Summary: It’s been a few weeks since my son Logan came to work with me. What a wild, filthy day that turned out to be! Seven horny lumberjacks with nothing to do and a smooth twink with a needy hole―I was amazed Logan didn’t walk bowlegged after the pounding he took. Afterwards, he asked me if we could have my brother over for some quality “family time,” just the three of us, and... today is that day! Note: Definitely no need to read Logjammin' first to know what's going on. I promise you that these aren't exactly plot-heavy books. 😉
