Chapter Ten

	Luke woke suddenly and found himself laying half on, half off
Mark's sweaty body. He untangled himself and stretched, and suddenly Mark
patted him softly.
	"You okay buddy?"  Mark whispered.  "You were making noises and
moving around a lot."
	Luke thought a minute before replying.  He had dreamed that he and
Lonnie had had a big fight and that Lonnie was mad at him.  In the dream
Lonnie had said things that had really hurt Luke's feelings.  He was glad
it was only a dream, but he was still upset.  "I..just had a bad dream,
that's all.  I'm okay now."
	"Okay, buddy.  Night night, love ya.  See you in the morning."
Mark whispered sleepily as he patted the boy once again.
	"Night."  Luke replied.  "I gotta go pee first."
	Luke stood up slowly and unzipped the tent door, he stepped out and
realized he was a little nervous being alone in the darkness.  He was
relieved to see Mark step out of the tent as he stood peering into the
darkness.
	"I hadda go too."  Mark explained.
	"Cool."
	Luke moved up to the nearby tree and Mark took a place on the other
side of it.  Luke yawned as he let go with a hot powerful stream , and Mark
followed suit.
	"Ahhh, that feels better."  Mark said humorously.
	Luke was in no mood for humor and ignored Mark's comment.  Mark
knew something was bothering Luke, and he was tired of waiting for him to
tell him what that might be.  He decided to try to pull it out of the boy.
	"Hey, Luke."  Mark said softly.  "Let's go sit on the table and
talk a minute.  Okay?"
	Luke was surprised but agreed, and hopped up on the cement table.
The cement of the table was cold and sent shivers through Luke's body.  He
folded his arms around his chest and waited for Mark to speak.
	"What's wrong buddy.  I know you, and something is bothering you."
Mark began.  "Is it Lonnie.  Did something happen today?"
	Luke bowed his head and considered not replying, but his respect
for Mark made him reply with a shrug of his shoulders.  "I dunno.  Not
really.  I mean nothing bad.  I just....... I don't know how I'm supposed
to feel."
	"Ahh, I see."  Mark replied hoping the boy would elaborate.
	"If I tell you, promise not to get mad."  Luke said looking
seriously at Mark.
	"Luke, I promise I will never get mad at anything you tell me.  I
love ya buddy, don't ya know that?
	"Yeah, sorry."  Luke began slowly filling Mark in on the what he
and Lonnie had shared.
	Mark supressed a wave of jealously and tried to be objective.
"That's cool.  As long as you both agreed about what you did, aint nobodies
business but yours."
	"I just...I don't know how to feel about all this stuff.  I mean
the sex stuff was fun...but I don't know if I love Lonnie or what."  Luke
said cocking his head to one side and looking sadly at Mark.
	Mark took a deep breath before responding.  "You know buddy, you're
still pretty young to have to make any commitments to anyone.  I mean sure
I know you're old enough to have special feelings for someone.  I like to
think you have special feelings for me and for Don."
	Luke nodded.  "You know I love you and Don a lot, but this feels
different."
	"I know buddy.  First love is a very special thing.  Maybe you and
Lonnie do have feelings for each other, I don't know, maybe not.
Personally I think you should just let things happen.  Don't sweat it.  If
it's love it will happen, if not you'll know soon enough.  Anyway, tomorrow
we go back and you guys may not see each other for awhile."  Mark said
placing an arm around Luke's shivering form.
	Luke looked forlorn as the reality of that statement sank in.
"God, Mark...I miss him already."  Luke said sadly.
	Mark supressed a giggle.  The boy was smitten, even if he didn't
know it himself.  "Tell you what, I'll talk to Lonnie's folks tomorrow.
I'll make it clear that Lonnie would be welcome to come and stay with us
anytime, then the two of you could be together."
	Luke smiled weakly at Mark and nodded.  "Thanks Dad, you're the
greatest."  He threw his arms around Mark's neck and hugged him.
	Mark felt ready to cry, had Luke realized that he had called him
Dad?  He hadn't called him that since that first night online when they had
met.  He pulled the boy close and wrapped him up in his strong embrace.
Luke melted into him and nuzzeled his neck, sending cold chills throughout
his body.  Mark's cock suddenly sprang to attention and stirred in his lap.
Not now, he told himself.  The boy is just being affectionate, he's not
coming on to you.  But Luke's hand suddenly moved to Mark's chest and he
rubbed the soft hairless flesh causing Mark's nippled to go hard.  He gasp
as Luke suddenly leaned in and kissed him fully on the mouth.  Mark was at
first reluctant, but finally decided a kiss was alright, he just couldn't
let himself get carried away. Mark had been kissed many times, by many boys
and men, but suddenly he felt as if he had never really been kissed at all
before now.  His senses were suddenly on a new plane of awareness.  He felt
the kiss all the way down to his toes, and his heart was beating so hard he
could feel the blood in his ears.  His cock was painfully trapped between
his legs, the consequences of freeing it too frightening to consider.  Part
of him wanted to push the boy away, while the other part wanted to pull the
boy closer and make love to him.  A million scenerios went through his mind
as Luke continued to kiss him , his kiss now turning lurid, far from the
sweet innocent kiss it had begun as.  Mark's mind screamed for him to put a
stop to this madness now, but how could he refuse the boy without damaging
his sweet innoncence.
	Mark pulled away slightly and stared into Luke's eyes.  There was a
look of surprise, then question as Mark began speaking softly.  "Babe that
was one sweet kiss, you took my breath away.  But, I think you should save
that for Lonnie."
	Luke looked hurt and pulled away folding his arms around his
slender frame.  "I can love you too."  Luke said almost defiantly.
	"I know, buddy.  You can love a lot of people, your mom, me , Don,
but there are all different kinds of love.  Don't get me wrong, the kind of
love you seem to be offering me is something really special, and I am so
flattered.  But, I don't ever want you to feel like you have to do anything
to earn my love.  I love you buddy, no matter what.  Understand?"
	Luke nodded.  "I just don't understand.  You always told me that
sex isn't bad if both people want it.  Don't you want it?  I do, a lot."
He looked hurt and confused as he continued.  "You love me that way, don't
you?"
	Mark groaned as his own words came back to haunt him.  "Luke, it's
not that I don't want it.  I've dreamed about it a thousand times, but it's
just really complicated.  I mean it's not just about us, I have Don to
think about too."
	Luke was suddenly quiet as he considered what Mark had just said.
"I never thought about that.  Do you think Don would get mad.  I don't ever
wanna cause no trouble."
	"Would I get mad about what?"  A sleepy Don suddenly asked as he
moved away from the tent.  The two had been too deep into their
conversation to notice his exit from the tent.
	Luke felt a wave of fear surge through him.  He turned an
embarassed face to Mark and held his breath.
	"Hey, come on over and sit down."  Mark said patting the space
beside him on the bench.  Don slowly walked over and plopped down beside
Mark and looked at him curiously.
	"Is this what I think it is?"  Don ask suddenly.
	Mark nodded his head.  He knew Don better than anyone, but he
didn't have a clue as to how he would react.  He nervously outlined what
had occurred as Luke stared into his lap, fearfull and ashamed.
	"Oh, is that all."  Don said cheerfully.  "I figured you two had
gotten that out of the way a long time ago.  Look, I love both of you, and
if it's what you want, then it's fine with me.  I'm not the jealous type
and I know you love me Mark, so don't worry about what I think."
	Mark pulled Don into his arms and kissed him fully on the lips.  He
knew Don was special but, how special he hadn't realized until this minute.
"I love you so very, very much."  He said breaking the kiss.  "Now how
about we all go back to sleep, I'm exhausted."
	Luke looked up and managed a strained smile.  "Okay, I'm pretty
tired too."  Luke said yawning.
	"Luke, let's just leave things as they are for now.  If it happens,
it happens." His voice was choked with emotion as he continued.  " I love
you both so much."  He pulled them both close and hugged them.  "Now back
to bed.  Tomorrow will be sooner than we think."
	Mark awoke to find Luke snuggled up on one side of him and Don
snuggled up on the other.  He smiled and gave him both a gentle good
morning kiss.  Luke's eyes flickered open and he blessed Mark with his
heavenly smile.  Don stirred a little but continued to sleep, his mind
reluctant to join the wakening world.
	"Hi."  Mark whispered.  "Did you sleep well?"
	"Yeah, thanks."  Luke said thoughtfully.  "I'm really sorry about
last night.  I was really stupid."
	"Noooo" Mark said gently.  "You were not being stupid youre being
you. You were being you.  And you offered me the most precious gift two
people can share.  It really means a lot to me just to have you offer.  I
hope I didn't hurt your feelings in any way. I only want what's best for
you buddy.  I love you so much."
	Luke managed a smile as he digested Mark's words.  "I'm not giving
up."  Luke said with an evil grin.  "Someday I'll find you when you're
weak, and bam....!"  He finished with a giggle
	Mark groaned and hugged the boy close tickling his sensitive ribs
with his free
 hand.  Don stirred as the tickling evoked loud giggling from the boy.  He
raised up and smiled, glad to see the two engaged in horseplay.  He stood
up slowly and stretched.  Mark stopped tickling Luke and the two watched
Don,both studdying his handsome face and chiseled body.  Mark felt a
stirring, one not entirely caused by his morning pee-boner.  Presently the
three slipped on shorts and walked to the bathroom to relieve themselves.
Don and Mark fixed a quick breakfast and they showered and dressed for the
short drive to pick up Lonnie.  Lonnie was waiting impatiently outside his
house and bounced up to the truck as Mark pulled into the drive.
	He opened the door and stuck his head in.  "Mom says come over to
the drive-in she wants to talk to ya."  Lonnie said with a big grin.  He
looked at Luke and they exchanged smiles.  Lonnie swarmed over to Luke as
he climbed out and Mark thought they looked like two puppies as they
fiested around with each other.  He and Don led the way and Lonnie's mom
came to the window.
	"Oh, hi."  She said sliding back the window.  "I just wanted to say
thank you again, and let you know that you won't have to bring him back,
his dad will drive down and pick him up later.  Is six too late?"
	"6 is fine, we plan on leaving around 6:30 or so.  We're gonna pack
up when we get back."  Mark explained.
	"Okay, well...Lonnie be good and mind Mark and Don.  Luke since I
won't see you before you leave, come around here and give me a hug.
	Luke looked surprised but walked to the backdoor and accepted his
hug with delight.  She whispered into his ear and gave him a little
squeeze.  "Thank you sweetie for being nice to my Lonnie.  He really likes
you a lot."  She pulled away and gave Luke a wink.  Luke walked away
confused.  Did she know or was he just being silly?  He dismissed the
thought and rejoined the others.  Lonnie ran inside his house to grab his
things and they were off.  Once again Luke and Lonnie took the back seat
and re-bonded, filling the vehicle with the excited chatter of two boys who
had found the sweetness of first love.  Mark and Don exchanged knowing
glances and Mark felt a pang of emotion for the young man beside him.  God,
how he loved Don.
	The boys changed in the tent before heading off to the river to
swim, leaving the two adults to pack up camp.  An hour later, with
everything packed Mark and Don changed into their trunks and joined the
boys.  They spent the rest of the afternoon splashing about and around
five, tired and thirsty they walked back to the SUV.  Mark dug out sodas
for everyone and the boys ate some chips and cookies.  It was around 5:30
when Luke and Lonnie went off to the bathrooms to change.
	Most of the campers had already packed up and left for and the few
remaining campers were busy elsewhere, leaving the bathrooms empty.  Luke
was glad to see that no one was in sight as he and Lonnie headed into the
bathroom.  He winked at Lonnie seductively and once inside grabbed at his
affectionately.
	"Hey, don't." Lonnie said pulling away.  "Someone might see."
	Luke was hurt at first then shrugged the feeling off.  "Nahh, no
one's here but us.  Come on...."
	"Nah, it's okay.  I just wanna get changed and go, okay?"  Lonnie
said softly.
	Luke felt his smile wilt and he blushed.  "Sure."  He replied
stiffly.
	Lonnie went into one of the shower stalls and changed quickly as a
dejected Luke changed in the main room.  He gathered up his clothes and
waited for Lonnie who appeared shortly grinning slightly.  Luke looked at
him questiongly, hoping he would explain his sudden aloofness.  When he
failed to respond, Luke decided to take matters into his own hands.
	"Lonnie....what's wrong?"  Luke ask nervously. "Yesterday....I mean
you weren't worried about doin stuff."
	"I just don't wanna, okay."  Lonnie said shrugging.  "My dad will
be here in a minute, come on let's go."
	A sad Luke followed Lonnie out the door and back to the campsite.
They found Lonnie's dad had already arrived and was chatting with Mark and
Don.  They seemed to be having a pleasant conversation as the two boys
approached.  Lonnie broke into a run and jumped on his dad who pulled him
into a bear hug.
	"You ready to go Lon?"  His dad said smiling.
	"Yeah, can I tell Luke goodbye first?"  Lonnie said eying Luke
shyly.
	"Sure, sure.  Why don't you two go down by the spillway and say
your goodbyes, I'll just wait here."  Lonnie's dad said patting his son
affectionately.
	Luke looked surprised, but followed Lonnie down the trail and onto
to the rocky bank near the spillway.  The water made soft gurgling sounds
as the boys found stood eye to eye neither speaking.  Luke felt so unhappy
that he wanted to cry, but he didn't want to let Lonnie know just how much
he hurt.  Lonnie felt helpless and confused, overcome by the contrasting
emotions that he had felt the last two days.  He wanted to hug Luke and
kiss him, but he was afraid.  He was afraid of the emotions that he had
suppressed for so long.  At first Luke seemed like his redemption, but now
he resented Luke.  Luke had forced him to deal with his own differences.
But, on the other hand Luke was different too, they were kindred spirits.
But,one thing he knew for sure....he had to let Luke know that he had
feelings for him, even if he didn't understand all that they implied. He
couldn't let Luke go away without trying to share some part of how he felt.
	Lonnie looked up and gazed into Luke's eyes.  Luke blushed and
waited, his heart beating fast.  "Luke." Lonnie took a deep breath before
continuing. "Thanks...for inviting me here and everything.  I......I'm
gonna miss you......a lot."  Lonnie turned his eyes to the ground as tears
welled up in them.
	Luke smiled weakly, still hurt but like Lonnie he didn't want them
to part with so much unsaid.  He was only twelve, but at the moment he felt
the weight of the world on his shoulders.  "It's okay.  I had fun,
especially in your treehouse."  He said grinning.
	Lonnie smiled and felt the tension ease between them.  He looked
around, and seeing no one in sight, he moved up to Luke and took his hand.
"I'm sorry....I shouldn't have been like that in the bathroom.  We missed
out on a chance to be together.  I'm shit, man...can you forgive me?"
Lonnie was choked up with emotion as he spoke and Luke took his hand.
	"It's okay.  I'm a little wierded out by all this too.  It's cool,
don't sweat it."  Luke said,feeling as if Mark was standing behind him
guiding him as he spoke.  "Maybe you can come visit me sometime, Mark says
it's cool and he was gonna talk to your dad about it."
	Lonnie brightened a little and smiled.  Looking around again he
leaned in and kissed Luke softly but quickly.  Both boys smiled and they
walked back holding hands right up till the last minute, not wanting the
adults to see them being affectionate.  Luke knew Mark and Don would be
cool with it, but he wasn't sure how Lonnie's dad would feel about Lonnie
having a boy friend.  Gosh, boy friend...he thought of himself as Lonnie's
boy friend.  He smiled to himself and squeezed Lonnie's hand tightly before
surrendering it.  Their shoulders brushed once or twice as they hurried
back to camp and Luke wished that they had had time to make up properly.
Luke ventured a quick hug which seemed to cause no alarm in Lonnie's
dad,and they said their goodbyes, both boys waving until Lonnie was out of
sight.  A sad Luke burried his face in Mark's chest as he blanketed him in
a hug.  Luke was crying softly now and Don joined the hug rubbing Luke's
back softly.
	"I miss him...."  Luke whined.
	"I know baby."  Mark said.  "But, I got good news.  Luke's dad,
says that he can come over in a couple of weeks.  They are going to his
class reunion and will be passing through town.  He said if it was okay
Lonnie could stay with us the weekend.  He can pick him up Sunday afternoon
on the way back."
	Luke danced for joy and wiped at his tears.  "Really?  That's
greaaaaat!"  He said in his best Tony Tiger voice.
	As they drove back, Luke made plans for Lonnie's visit and forgot
all about his sadness at leaving.  Mark and Don held hands and exchanged
furtive glances as they sat in silence enjoying the warmth of each other's
company.  Tired but happy, they dropped Luke off at his house and headed
home.  No matter how much Mark enjoyed camping, he was always glad to get
back to the comfort of his own bed.  Showered and relaxed he and Don wasted
no time making up for missed opportunities.  Around midnight, exhausted and
very satisfied, they finally went to sleep.  In a house not to far away,
Luke had finished working his stiff cock for the third time, having
envisioned Lonnie's hand on his cock, replacing his own.  He cleaned up
quickly and fell asleep satisfied and happy at how his life was turning
out.
