                                Part 6

     After driving Clay home, I return to the house.  Before heading to
bed, I go into my office and look at the drawings and sketches again...
his  drawings and sketches.  They are all over, a few even hanging from
the walls.

     The  boy  has done a marvelous job.  He created a fabulous  design
for  the renovation of the property.  It is wonderful - truly wonderful
...and  wondrous.   He  has  an excellent eye,  a  beautiful  sense  of
proportion  and  is, quite honestly, an exceptional artist.   It's  sad
that  his  field of expertise, where his talents lay, is  an  area  not
recognized as being one of high artistic merit.  Too bad for us all.

      The  design is an amazingly unified whole.  It eliminates all  of
the  terraces, steps and blatantly artificial areas currently existing.
It instead utilizes contouring of the land to create areas for flowers,
shrubs,  wild flowers, vegetables, herbs, and entertaining.   By  using
berms,  dunes  and artificial hillocks, he employs the land  itself  to
demarcate  the various areas.  It is a brilliant design - well  thought
through and superbly realized.

     What  I  find  most  amazing is how Clay, in his sweeping  design,
shows his sensitivity to my needs...and wants...and tastes...and to  my
personality.  He seems to know instinctively that I'm not a formal type
of  guy.  I like things with a certain casualness to them - nothing  up
tight,  too  rigid or studied.  The entire project has  an  interesting
informality  about  it.  There is a certain surface  formality  to  the
overall  plan,  but  underneath, there  is  a  casual,  devil-make-care
attitude.   His  remarkable insights...his instincts...his rightness...
his awareness...they are all absolutely outstanding.

                       ^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^

      In  bed,  after turning out the lights, I can think of  only  one
thing...one  person.   Clay.  Lovely Clay -  my  beautiful,  angelic,
ethereal  Clayton.   His image...the indelible  image  burned  into  my
cerebral  cortex...moves  before  my  now  closed  eyes.   And   what
magnificent image it is, too!

      We had such a pleasant, fulfilling afternoon and evening together
...looking over sketches and drawings, eating dinner, watching the film.
It was a wonderful day.

      It  was so marvelous how I responded to his openness...and he  to
mine.   The  way he touched me...and the way he permitted me  to  touch
him.   His  playing  with  my  nipple  piercing...the  gentleness...the
consideration...the  intensely  erotic  manipulations...causing  me  to
climax so powerfully.  And how he removed his prosthesis and let me rub
and  fondle his stump...the beautiful remnant of his leg.   God!   That
had  to be the highlight of the entire day.  I adored touching it...and
him...and  somehow...somehow, at that  very  moment,  I  knew  that  my
feeling  ran  very deep...that I loved him.  Maybe because  it  was  so
intimate...I felt so united with him...so incredibly close.

      But  why?   Why did I find him so incredibly sexy...his  body  so
tremendously  erotic?  Why?  When I'd never been sexually attracted  to
very young men...ever!

     Christ!  Always questions!  Always!

     Does he know how much I'm drawn to him?
     To his personality?
     And his physical appearance?

     Is it a sexual come-on?
     Is he luring me?
     Playing with me?
     Trying to seduce me?
     Are we playing games?
     Teenage boy game?
     Is he using his distinctive assets as an enticement?
     Is he aware of what he is doing?
     To me?
     Is he using his body as a lure?
     And for what end?

     Does he want me to take him?
     And what's wrong with that?
     Isn't that what I desire?
     Isn't it?
     My ultimate desire?
     Clayton?

      Do  I think about him this way because...because I feel sorry for
him...because I  admire his spirit and his fortitude?  Do I think  he's
desperate  for love...and feel he will come to me because  I  am  here,
showing him affection...and demonstrating my desire?  Showing him  that
his physical appearance is pleasing to me?  Showing him that I think he
is absolutely beautiful - despite what others may think...or say?

      Yes,  Clayton  has  an incredible beauty...I  must  even  say  an
overwhelming beauty...for me.  He's a most marvelous boy...a delight to
know.   He  is  a pleasure to be with...a fine person...an  interesting
individual.

     My thoughts and ruminations slowly began to turn to another aspect
of  Clayton...and our burgeoning friendship...to that of Clayton  as  a
potential companion...and the remote possibility of our becoming future
bedmates...sex partners...lovers.

      Is  it  in  my future?  Our future?  Is it too much to hope  for?
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but one day...one day soon...I truly
hope  we are.  The boy turns me on like no other person I'd met in more
than twenty-five years.  Why?  I cannot understand the reason. Never...
never...never  boys...I've  never been  with  boys...or  even one  boy.
Strange...so entirely bizarre.

      Yes.  What makes the situation so incredibly weird is that I have
never  thought about the possibility of being monogamous...or having  a
regular,  loving partner...or even desiring one.  I loved playing  "the
field"...or so I've always convinced myself of that.  Why has Clay done
this  to my psyche?  How is it possible for this teenager to have  this
kind  of  effect  on  me...this kind of enormous,  life-style  altering
effect?

     I see his smooth thigh...the thigh of that amputated leg.  It's so
soft...so nicely muscled...underneath the velvety...tantalizing flesh...
flesh  as  fine  and clear as a newborns skin.  And  the  stump  is  so
beautifully  formed - lean, tapered, symmetrical.  The  surgeon  did  a
truly  first class job.  I cannot believe how excited I became touching
it...fondling it...petting it...working  in that  softening,  soothing,
delicate cream.  It makes me anxious to see what the arm...the stump of
his arm...looks like...and feels like.  I'll bet it's beautiful, too...
soft...and cuddly...and with a cute little scar at the end.  And I long
to  see...to let my eyes gaze upon...and let my hands feel...his entire
body.

      I still get whiffs of the body lotion I used on him tonight - and
each  flash of the  aroma brings  me back...to being with Clay...gently
soothing  his body...watching him luxuriate in the glow of my  unbroken
attention...and adoration.

      It  was  so strange carrying his prosthetic, though.  Carrying  a
body part of another person.  Holding Clayton's leg.  Christ!  I was so
disconcerting...and such an enormous turn-on.

     And  when  he  pulled up his boxers...and I could see  almost  the
entire right side of his body...up to the hip bone...and the surprising
absence  of  hair...so  little  hair...anywhere.   Christ!   What  a
tremendous  rush!   It was  so incredibly  exciting...seeing  all  that
smooth,  lustrous  skin...what  a fantastic  trigger  to  my  senses...
creating  an image indelibly imprinted in the catalogue of my  greatest
sexual moments.  Let us hope there are many, many of them in my - our -
future.

     Yet...yet...something  is bothering  me...seems to be bugging  the
shit  out  of me.  Why is it...that...the area very close...closest  to
his  crotch...seems  devoid...absent of  any hair.  What is  with  that
anyway?   Does he shave his body...and is that why he was so  quick  to
notice  how  I  shaved mine?  Could be...it's a possibility.   But  not
really.... He doesn't even seem to need...need to shave  his  face.   I
know.   It  felt  so  downy...and so  incredibly soft...when  I  gently
stroked it...with the back...the back of  my hand.  So...so...soft...so
...silken...so supple...so...sleek...so...

     Questions...so many questions...so few answers...more and...more...
and more...

                       ^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^

     The  caffeine from my first cup of coffee of the day has  not  yet
begun  to  percolate into my blood stream.  I am in  my  underwear  and
stare  out the kitchen window into the garden.  I think about  all  the
work  Clay and I will need to accomplish to complete his vision of this
large,  open space.  It is such a great and grand vision...and  I  long
for us to begin working on it together.

     The weather is awful - rainy, windy and quite cool for spring.  It
is  one  of  those days one wants to spend in bed - to sleep  away  the
hours  in  sweet  oblivion - particularly if one  is  sleeping  with  a
cherished one.

      The  ringing  of  the  telephone breaks my  thoughts.   It's  the
business line.  I'm tempted to let the answering machine get it, but  I
figure  it  must be important if the person is calling so  early  on  a
Saturday morning.

     "Yes, good morning, this is Cole Avery.  How may I help you?"

     "Good morning, Dr. Avery, this is Clarence Ritchards."

     "Oh?  Oh, yes!  Good morning Dr. Ritchards."  I immediately become
anxious when he identifies himself.  Has something happened to Clay?  I
start feeling panicky.

     "You muh-muh-must be Clay's...uh...uh..."

      "Grandfather,"  he  interjects hastily.  "I'm Clayton's  paternal
grandfather."

      "Yes, of course.  How are you this morning, Dr. Ritchards?"  Then
I add immediately, "And how is Clay?"

     "I am fine, thank you. And Clayton is quite well."  He pauses, and
I  know  he's getting ready to explain the reason for the  call.   "Dr.
Avery,  Clayton's grandmother and I know that he has been busy  working
on  a design project for the landscaping of your property.  He has been
devoting much of his available time to this undertaking."

      "We have met twice to discuss the project, sir, and . for him  to
present his plans and drawing.  In addition, I am sure you know that he
will be tending my lawn weekly."

      "Yes.   So I am lead to understand.  I also understand  that  the
work  he  is  doing  is  taking much of his available  time.   This  is
valuable time that could be better utilized by Clayton to devote to his
studies and his schoolwork."

      I'm getting the distinct impression that there is a big change in
the  offing.  After all, I'm not that slow.  "Yes.  I understand.  But
...well he seems so interested and...so happy doing this type of work."

     "I am sure he is.  But certain...um...shall we say some particular
difficulties and problem situations have arisen at school.  And we, his
grandmother  and  I, believe that he needs to stop all  extracurricular
activities, sir.  They seem to be interfering greatly with his academic
pursuits.   I'm  truly sorry, Dr. Avery, but we have  reluctantly  been
forced  to conclude that Clayton cannot assist you with the landscaping
renovation.  He must become more committed to his lessons, his studies,
and  his  schoolwork in general, and expend more effort on  both.   I'm
sorry, sir."

      I  hear  a loud "NO!" in the background and the sound of  a  door
slamming.

      I'm very disappointed...and greatly saddened by the grandparent's
decision.   To  say the least, I was looking forward  to  working  with
Clay.   His  design  is  wonderful.   In  addition,  he  is  the   main
participant in my current series of intense, sexual fantasies.

     "Dr. Ritchards, may I ask a question?"

     "Certainly.  But I need to ask you something first."

     "Then please proceed."

     He's quiet for about ten seconds.  I have the feeling he is trying
to formulate how he is going to say whatever it is he wants to say.

     Finally,   he   comes  out  with  it  -  slowly,   haltingly   and
deliberately.   "Dr. Avery, would it be possible for  you  to  meet  us
today  so...so that  we may  discuss Clayton's...uh...Clayton's  future
course  of...uh...the  course of his  studies?  And his  progress...or
rather seeming lack of progress...in school?"

     I am quite surprised by the request.  I must admit that despite my
longings  and desires, I hardly know the boy...and don't know  anything
about  the  family.  Yet, I am being invited to discuss  Clay  and  his
school situation with them.  Why?

     I  answer  quickly and with conviction.  "Yes!"  Why  pass  up  an
opportunity  to  be  with the boy?  "That will certainly be possible...
and most desirable.  Yes.  Thank you for asking."

	He seems pleased with my reponse.  "Thank you, Dr. Avery."

	Would you like me to come to your home? I think it would be easiest
since the weather is rather foul."

      "Yes."   I hear him breath a deep sigh.  Is it a sign of  relief?
"Excellent...thank you.  Thank you so much.  Say about 11:30?"

                       ^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^

      The  house is small.  It is the first time I see it in  daylight.
It seems to be nothing more than a one-story bungalow, and in the light
of  the  gray,  overcast skies today, looks very  plain  and  extremely
ordinary.   What sets it apart from the neighboring structures  is  the
beautiful landscaped grounds surrounding it.  They are stunning and  so
artistically  defined.   There  is no  doubt  in  my  mind  the  person
responsible for this splendid effort.

      Clay  opens  the  door before I get a chance to  ring  the  bell.
Again, I am thrilled to see him.

      "Oh, God!  I'm so glad to see you Cole."  He goes to hug me,  but
pulls  back quickly.  I'm sure he's has immediate second thoughts about
an  open  display  of  affection...especially  with  his  grandparents
present.  "Please come in."

     "Thank you, Clayton."  He gives me a rather big frown.  I call him
Clayton.   I decide on the drive over to take a rather formal  approach
to things, playing it professional and as cool as possible.

      We  shake  hands.  "You look great," he says.  "Your clothes  are
like real cool, dude."

     I smile.  "Thanks."

     I'm dressed in what's called "business casual"  -  an ecru shirt,
khakis, no tie, socks matching the shirt, brown loafers, Italian black
leather jacket.  I think  the outfit  says a number of things - I have
taste, I have a sense of style, and I have money.

     Today  Clay's wearing the arm prosthesis that  most  looks like  a
natural hand...and it is very  attractive.  It  almost matches like his
real  hand.  As I grasp it, I look directly into his eyes.  I feel  the
sponginess of the hand...see the beauty  in his  face...feel the almost
vice-like  grip of  the hand...see the tension  in  his body  language.

	I hope I can control  my  body...and prevent severe embarrassment
while I'm here...and near him.

      "What  happened to your hair?" I ask loudly.  I am startled!   He
has  been  shorn.  He looks even more adorable with his hair no  longer
than a eighth of an inch - all around.  And he looks younger, if that's
possible.  His face definitely looks more youthful.  However, no twelve
year old was ever that tall, except maybe for Lew Alcindor.

      "Got it cut this morning.  I always ggget it cut short before the
sssummer.   More comfortable this way.  Easier to wash,  too  and  keep
clean in hot weather."

      Clay's  grandfather comes to the entry foyer.  He's  tall,  bald,
thin, distinguished and much older than I had expected.  I'd guess he's
well  into his seventies.  He almost looks like an aged Clay,  but  the
teen  is  taller than the old man.  He is dressed in an oversized  gray
sweater,  gray slacks, with a white shirt, a gray tie under the  V-neck
sweater,  and  black,  wing-tipped  oxfords.   His  overall  appearance
matches the weather.

      We  shake hands, and he leads me into the living room/dining room
area.

      The  rooms are rather cramped.  They look stuffed.  The furniture
is  old but nice (a throwback to the 1950s craze for Danish modern and,
apparently,  original), the carpeting slightly worn, and everything  in
need  of  a fresh coat of paint.  There are plants everywhere, artfully
arranged  and  seemingly very healthy - obviously Clay's  tender  care.
And  books!   Shelf  upon  shelf of books  tucked  into  every  corner,
occupying  every  square inch of wall space, and  even  piled  in  some
corners.   There  is  a display of family photos on  a  piano,  on  the
cocktail/coffee table and over the fireplace.

      "Thank you for coming, Dr. Avery.  My wife and I appreciate  your
concern for Clayton...and his difficulties at school."

      "Thank you, Dr. Ritchards.  My pleasure to be of any help I  can.
I think Clayton deserves every assistance we can provide."  Again, Clay
frowns; the old man nods.  Clay is obviously displeased - he must think
that I'm immediately siding with his grandparents.

      "Good  morning, Dr. Avery.  Welcome to our home."  I turn  around
and  see the other Dr. Ritchards.  She is this incredibly petite woman,
holding  out  her  hand to me.  "Thank you for  joining  us."   She  in
impeccably coiffed, wears very little makeup, and is sporting a simple,
flowered shirtwaist dress and sensible shoes.

      I  extend my hand and we shake.  He skin is amazingly soft -  not
old woman soft, but like that of a woman half her age.  "Thank you, Dr.
Ritchards."

      She laughs lightly.  It is a very appealing laugh and sounds like
a  young woman...maybe even a girl.  "Please, please, let us not  stand
of such formality.  Please call me Franny."

     "I would be honored, if you agree to call me Cole."

     "Cole it is."  The old man seems to be rather displeased with this
level of familiarity.

     Franny walks over to the dining room table.  There are coffee cups
set  there,  along  with  a  variety of small sandwiches,  scones,  and
muffins.  Somebody's been quite busy in the kitchen.

      "Would you like a cup of coffee?  And maybe I can tempt you  with
some of my homemade goodies?"

     "Yes, thank you, Franny."

      She pours three cups of coffee.  Clay walks into the kitchen  and
comes back with a Coke.  He's wearing various articles of baggy clothes
again,  the preferred "couture" of the teenage set.  They look somewhat
ridiculous,  at least to me they do.  I can't tell what the  pants  are
supposed  to be - they come down to his mid-calf.  Are they long  short
pants  or short long pants?  He is wearing high white socks so I cannot
see the real leg or any part of the leg prosthetic.

     He  holds the can of soda in his artificial hand.  The hand  seems
quite  functional and remarkably realistic.  I have to  keep  reminding
myself not to stare...and to get any idiotic grin off my face.

      After  we drink the coffee, eat the food Franny has prepared  and
made  endless  amounts of small talk, the male Dr. Ritchards  gradually
begins  the  move to the topic and the situation that  has  brought  us
together - Clay and his underachievement in school.

      I can see the boy immediately becomes agitated.  He does not like
the subject, and I suppose he hates me for being here.  But I feel it's
the  least  I can do...to do everything possible to help him.   I  kept
telling myself that I'm here to help Clay become the man he wants to be
-  to realize his full potential.  And, yes, it is also selfishness.  I
most  definitely  want to see my property developed the  way  Clay  has
envisioned it.

      "As  I  mentioned in our earlier conversation, Dr. Avery, Clayton
has  some  serious difficulties with his current schoolwork.   At  this
particular  time, he is in danger of receiving failing  grades  in  two
subjects  - algebra and social science.  His grandmother and I  do  not
take  this grave matter lightly...and we are determined to correct  the
situation."

      "I  understand, sir.  I know if I were in your position, I  would
take the same position as you are taking."

     "Thank you, Dr. Avery."  He glances quickly at Clay.

      I look at the boy.  He's staring at the carpet, his face  totally
impassive,  maybe a touch angry.  I notice an occasional  tick  in  one
cheek  muscle  whenever his grandfather speaks.  Must be a  conditioned
reflex.

      "His  grandmother and I have reluctantly reached  the  conclusion
that Clayton must spend more time - and make a more concentrated effort
-  on  his  studies...on all his studies."  He takes a deep breath  and
lets  it out slowly.  "Let me state for the record that Clayton is  not
one  of the top students in his grade level.  He is nowhere near  that!
He is, unfortunately, a straight `C' student."

      "That's  not  true!"  Clayton gets flushed and sits  forward  and
looks at his grandfather.  "I get B's!"

      The old man looks at him.  "Yes.  That is true...and you also get
D's...so it averages out."  He looks back at me.  "We have gone through
this  before  with  Clayton and without any notable success.   However,
this  time will be different.  We are prepared to take on the  services
of  well-qualified  tutors to assist him.  He has  successfully  argued
against  having  us  take  this  step  -  until  now."   Clay  and  his
grandfather look at each other, and it is not a pleasant exchange.  "He
needs  to  be drilled, to have instilled the proper need and  reverence
for  learning, to stimulate in him a desire for learning, and to  bring
him  up  to  a  passing  level  in the subject  subjects  where  he  is
defective."

     I immediately cringe at that word.  I get the impression that this
man has the bare minimum amount of social graces.

      Franny coughs slightly, to get her husband's attention.  He looks
over  at  her, and it gradually dawns on him - he has made a  bad  faux
pas.

      I  look at Clay;  he has  become quite  red in the face and  very
worked  up.   I  know I need to break the oppressive silence  that  has
settled.   I  know we need to get to the point as quickly  as  possible
now.   I  get the distinct impression that this man can talk  around  a
subject  for  hour  upon  hour.  He is, after all,  a  retired  college
professor.

     I  shift my weight and lean forward in my chair.  "Are you  asking
me to be that tutor?"

      "Yes we ARE!"  Clayton is speaking.  We all turn and look at him.
He  stands  and  walks to the center of the room.  He  immediate  takes
charge.  Both grandparents stare at him  -  open-mouthed.

      "And  when  would  you like me to begin?" I ask,  addressing  the
question directly to Clay.

      "TODAY!" he replies, looking directly at me.  "We...uh...I mean...
I would like you to begin TODAY!" he says most emphatically.

     Franny smiles.  The old man looks sullen.
