Young but Daily Growing-Chapter 24

By Eff Del

There is a legend concerning a young Indian brave who consulted with the
tribal medicine man.

"Wise one," he asked "How should I best deal with the faults I see in
another?"

The aged sage blew a puff of smoke from his pipe and said;

"Never criticize another man without first walking all morning over a road
of sharp stones wearing his moccasins."

"Ah, and this will give me some insight into his thinking and motives?"

"No...but then, when you DO criticize him, you'll have a half day head start
AND he'll be barefoot when he runs after you along a road of sharp stones."

My first perception was that two gleaming chunks of turquoise were hovering
freely in front of me.

As my vision cleared and wakefulness took control of my senses I realized
that these were not floating turquoise; they were his stunning blue/green
eyes looking down into my face. He was smiling and his smile was so
glorious it made my heart sing with happiness.

"Mornin' Eric! I'm so glad you're awake! This is our special day today
cause this is the first day I know I don't gotta go back to the NEST!

This is MY happy day! This is MY happy new year! I've been thinkin' about
it all morning...wish me Happy New Year Eric! Wish me Happy New Year!"

He was sitting on my stomach wiggling and bouncing and my bladder was
sending me urgent signals of distress.

"Happy New Year little man! Tell me, is it your New Year resolution to
cause me to pee the bed?"

"Oh I already went pee...hours ago Eric."

"Well...I...did...NOT!" I growled as I lifted him off of me and tucking his
wiggling little body under my arm I marched into the bathroom.

"Muuuuch better!" I sighed as I shook the dew from the lily. "And NOW...good
morning Sean." I leaned down and kissed him lovingly.

I knelt down so that we were more or less eye to eye and reached out and
stroked his neck and shoulders.

"You know we've got so much we need to talk about don't you Sean?"

He took my hand and pulled me to my feet and tugged me toward the shower.

"Yeah, I know Eric but...PLEASE not today. Not on my most happy day. Today
can't we just have fun an be together and stuff?"

I lifted him up into a hug.

"You're so wise for such a little guy! Of course we can...I guess we've got a
very long time to talk about things since...you're not going anywhere."

He grinned and giggled and rubbed his nose against mine Eskimo style as I
carried him into the shower.

It wasn't our sybaritic shower at Joyous Gaurde but it was big enough for
us both and we were like two joyful children on the first day of summer
vacation.

We soaped each other's body almost more for the pleasure of touching as for
the actual mechanics of washing.

As we toweled ourselves dry, I realized that we had been laughing
spontaneously and almost nonstop for at least 20 minutes.

Hand in hand we walked back into the bedroom and soon we were rolling on
the bed kissing passionately. The room was filled with our sounds of
wordless ardor.

Breaking our kiss I sat up and muttered "I'll be right back." I jumped from
the bed and ran back into the bathroom and seized the bottle of
complementary moisturizing skin lotion the lodge provided.

Back on the bed, I smiled mischievously down at him and filled my palm with
the thick cream. I slowly grasped his little cock in my now greasy hand and
began a slow rhythmic stroking motion. The little tool became erect at once.

He looked up me with a naughty expression and said;

"Do the massage thing Eric...please"

I had to think for a second before I realized what he meant, greasing up
the index finger of my left hand I pressed against his little sphincter. He
instinctively pulled his knees up toward his chest and with a slight twist
of my highly lubricated finger; I was past the little gate and into his hot
silky smoothness.

Within moments I located his little magic button and began to caress it
tenderly and cyclically, as I recommenced stroking his cock matching the
pace of my probing finger.

Very quickly he was writhing on the bed eyes closed tightly breathing and
moaning through his open mouth.

I sensed the nearness of his climax and built my twin stokes into a rapid
crescendo causing him to buck and twist as he cried out his pleasure.

I kissed him as he came down from his high and then wiped him clean with a
towel.

He started to sit up saying;

"Now my turn to do you." But I pushed him back onto the bed and stroked his
sweaty brow.

"Nope. This is your special day little Sean...it's all about you."

*******

"Shhhh." I was stooping low and held up my hand to stop him from walking
any further. Holding a finger to my lips to signal silence I pointed up
ahead.

They stood in a natural clearing bathed in the filtered light of the
morning sun descending through the trees.

We were upwind but I suspect she knew we were nearby. The safety afforded
by being in a National Park had suppressed her natural caution but she
still maintained a healthy apprehension and her soft black nose twitched
rapidly as she took our scent and worked upon a choice of action.

Nearby, her twin children- more yearlings now than fawns, sensed their
mother's wariness and stood frozen awaiting a signal from her.

Sean was statue still on the path... his mouth opened with wonder as he gazed
rapt at the almost magical sight. He and I each took one slow cautious step
closer and the adult deer's ears twitched radar like as she stared at us.

Together, we carefully took another step being as soft and silent as
possible. This pushed the limits of her comfort level and without a sound
the doe bounded off into the black green darkness of the forest followed at
once by the two youngsters. In a moment, all that remained in the clearing
ahead of us was the sunlight and the silence.

"Wow! Did you see that Eric? That was the most wonderful thing I've ever
ever seen! That was so beautiful! Thanks for bringing me here I never
thought I'd ever see somethin' like that."

We had been taking a short hike into the woods to look at a stand of very
old trees called "the seven sages"...the oldest in the park; these were on
our short list of sights to see today. Unexpected sighting of the little
family of deer was one of those wonderfully serendipitous moments that
could never have been planned and never again quite duplicated.

"See Eric, I TOLD you this was my happiest day. It just keeps getting
better."

I hugged him tightly to me and decided this action was sufficient. No words
could possibly improve this moment. We continued down the trail in
satisfied silence each occasionally catching the other as we secretly stole
glances and exchanged approving smiles.

********

That evening after dinner, we again sat naked in the turbulent foam of the
hot tub. He was in my lap and I had my arms wrapped around him as we talked
without any hidden anxiety or fear. All day his conversation had been
candid, excited and relaxed.

"I'm rememberin' more about the stuff that happened back there at the swim
meet Eric. Some of it is confusing and some of it is still like only part
of something...do you understand?"

"Yes, I think I do. Do you want to talk about any of it Sean?"

"Well, I remember one time in the cave with Kyle...I told you about being in
the cave with Kyle...I was worried about something and I was gonna cry but
Kyle...he said something funny. He said `don't worry Walter is takin care of
it.' Isn't that a funny thing to say Eric? I don't know what Walter had to
do with anything but the next time was when Kyle told me it was alright
cause you were there...but somehow, I seem to feel like Walter was there
too...it's all very funny."

I squeezed him to me tighter and kissed the top of his head.

"Maybe you've got to wait for more of the memories to come back Sean and
then...perhaps it will make more sense."

I had purposely not told him very much about the kidnapping or his
subsequent rescue preferring to wait and see what memories came forward on
their own.

I could feel him nod his head in agreement.

"There's something else." He said very softly almost in a whisper.

"What's that Sean?"

"Remember when I told you that I remembered walking to the pool for the
medley and I had this feeling that I wanted to say something to you but
instead I blew you a kiss and waved?"

"Yes Sean, I remember and I also remember you doing that."

"Well I remember what I was thinking and what I was gonna say to you Eric."

"What was that Sean?"

"You know I told you that Professor Swaim has been workin with me about all
my feelings right?"

"Yes Sean."

 "Well, I was thinking that I wanted to tell you I loved you but there
wasn't time to do that before the race so..I blew you a kiss."

I felt as though my heart had stopped. I felt a rush of heat in my temples
and my mouth was suddenly dry.

"W-what did you say Sean?"

"I wanted to tell you I loved you Eric."

I raised him from my lap, turned him around to face me and grasped his
shoulders.

"Do you...do you understand what you just said Sean? Do you understand what
that means?"

"Yes, of course I do Eric. I've known how I feel about you for a long time
I just didn't know what to call it. Eric, love is something you don't have
to have a name for to feel. Does that make any sense?"

"Then Sean, does that mean you understand what I'm feeling when I've told
you that I love you?"

I could see him smiling even in the dim light of the terrace.

"Yeah, I was just so afraid to believe it was true cause Eric, I've loved
you for such a long time an I couldn't understand how you could love me
back...I'm just a little kid."

I pulled him close to me.

"But, you're MY little kid. I think you've always been MY little kid.
Somehow we found each other and we chose each other and ...now we know that
we love each other. Come on...let's go inside it's freezing out here."

I wrapped him in his robe and carried him into the cabin.

Later in the darkness we lay close touching and kissing. We were in the
lazy dreamy state that comes upon you after the completion of giving and
receiving pleasure. We had ministered to each other slowly and lovingly. He
had over time become able to take more of my penis into his mouth and had
become adept at bringing me to a wonderful climax always swallowing my load.

I had pointed out the signs of hair that were just beginning to display
themselves at the base of his tiny cock and mentioned that before very long
he would probably begin to ejaculate himself. I whispered to him how much I
was looking forward to tasting his little boy juice for the first time.
This made him smile with pleasure.

"Eric...this is what peace is huh?"

"What do you mean Sean?"

He was caressing my cheek with his little hand while he slowly undulated
his hips absentmindedly rubbing his still hard cock against my hip.

"I mean for me...not being afraid of going back, knowing how you feel about
me, knowing how I feel about you...not-not being afraid of what's gonna
happen or what's gonna be...that's peace isn't it?"

I reached down and cupped his slowly moving little ass in my hand and
rubbed it softly and lovingly.

"Yeas Sean, that's peace. I think we've both found it in each other...it's a
wonderful gift that we've now shared."

I pulled him up my body and our lips locked in a deep passionate kiss, I
relished the feel of his little tongue probing and darting in my mouth as
our hands roamed over each other's body anticipating the pleasure of a
passionate touch.

We napped rather than slept neither of us wanting the magic of the day to
actually end.

Eventually, I suggested that we pack up and head out well before dawn. I
wanted desperately to get him home but at the same time I still wanted him
to see the ocean during this short little trip of ours.

I'd left a note for Chris at the front desk thanking him for all of his
good service and reminding him to contact me after graduation. We were on
the road and well on our way long before the sun rose behind us.

We drove like children, Sean with his hand on my leg as we played guessing
games with the songs we picked up on the radio. Stopping for breakfast and
lunch as well as one pee break greatly needed by both of us.

We pulled into the picturesque little coastal town of Santa Anunciation a
bit before 9:00 am. I drove directly to the harbor and located the pier
belonging to the whale watch cruise boats.

I notice oned smaller boat belonging to "Fluke and Fin" tours and arranged
for a private cruise. We were going to have the whole boat to ourselves
when we noticed a group of about 16 little boys and girls with their two
adult chaperones and realized this must be a small school group.

They looked to be from no so wealthy families and the price of a tour even
at a discounted rate would probably be a significant expense for them.

I don't know how Sean picked up on this but he did and he looked at me with
an expression that was in itself all the question that he needed to ask. I
nodded to him and he walked over to the adult that seemed to be in charge
of the children. I stood behind and watched as they spoke finally the woman
approached me and said;

"Your son has offered us free passage on this boat for a whale watching
tour. Is this true?"

"Yes it is. We've got this entire boat rented and I think the adventure
would be much more fun to share don't you?"

"The children have worked very hard to raise the money to pay for this trip
so I would gladly pay you Mr..."

"That is not necessary. Perhaps the children can use their money for
something else at another time. My name is Eric Tucker and Sean is my ward.
Please call us Eric and Sean."

Smiling she extended her hand.

"You are very kind Mr...Eric I am Maria Velacruse...Maria please, and this is
my associate Nita Ramirez...the children...well, let's try to introduce them
catch as catch can eh?"

As the little ship left the harbor and worked its way out to open water I
got to know the two ladies while Sean injected himself into the group of
excited second graders,

I discovered that they were a class from a small Catholic School from a
little town about 30 miles inland and this was their big field trip for the
year. They worked for months to raise enough money. They were poor people
but very happy and all came from loving hardworking families.

Maria and Nita pointed each of the children out in turn proudly sharing
information about each.

The children on the other hand were completely absorbed in watching over
the rails as the ship plied the water and already it seemed they were all
infatuated with Sean who seemed content to joke and talk with them.

Soon the ship was ringing with the sound of happy children's laughter and
it became infectious even so far as to carry over to the small crew of the
ship.

I watched in pleasurable amusement but as I did so, my mind roamed... finally
settling on thoughts that had been formulating in the back of my mind for
some time. They were thoughts about the NEST.

It had been sometime since I could think of the NEST benignly any longer. I
was developing the idea that it was not enough to have saved Sean and young
Jack from their evil mandated sexual servitude...somehow I was beginning to
feel that I must do something for all the boys...now, and in the future.

At the moment, that thought was too complicated and too unwelcome and so I
pushed it to the recesses of my brain concentrating upon the beautiful
things before me.

The cruise was an astonishing success. We spotted twelve humpbacked whales
seven grey whales, a pod of orcas and were followed and entertained for
about a half an hour by an acrobatic troupe of dolphins.

By the time the little ship pulled back to her berth, we were all
sunburned, tired and joyful friends.

At the dock we posed for a group picture and I made certain that I'd
entered contact information for Maria and Nita into my phone. They were
going to be surprised in a week or so by an anonymous donation to the
school.

Before they got into their bus each of the children bid me a very polite
goodbye and required a hug and a kiss from Sean.

"What a neat day that was Eric!" he said his white teeth sparkled against
his sun burnished skin and his hair whipped wildly in the wind.

*******

As we sat at our table in the waterfront seafood restraint, Sean bubbled on
about the cruise. He kept changing his mind over which was "neater" the
grey whales or the humpbacks nor could he decide which were prettier; the
dolphins or the killer whales but he knew that they were all "cool".

"Eric, did you hear the captain tell us the notches on the fluke of a whale
are all different? No two are alike...they're like finger prints!"

"Yes little man, actually I already knew that."

"Yeah but did you hear him tell us that a whale's brain is never completely
asleep...that some part of it is always awake so that it comes up to the
surface to breath even when the rest of the whale is sleepin?"

"Yep I heard that Sean. Tell me...are YOU going to come up for breath or are
you going to talk on and on all night?"

He broke into a huge grin and with his eyes twinkling he said.

"It's just that I had so much fun and that all I can think of is how lucky
I am that you picked me cause I love you so much!"

I grinned back and reached across the table to pat his hand.

"I'm the lucky one Sean and...remember that night that seems so long ago...we
picked each other."

"Eric, are we always gonna be this happy?"

"I don't know Sean. Probably not always. Life is long and it's full of
things that happen. Not everything that happens is going to always make
either you or me happy. What I DO hope though is that if we always love
each other, then we won't be so bothered by the unhappy things when they
come along. Make sense?"

He nodded his head thoughtfully.

"Yeah. Makes sense."

We were walking back to our hotel along the waterfront. A hundred yards
away in the dim light, the dark sea crashed rhythmically against the rocky
shore while above us the crescent moon was partially obscured by a dark
wisp of a cloud. The acrid iodine smell of the sea and the shore filled the
air pungently as we strolled along. Actually, if I were being truly
accurate, I strolled. He danced and pranced like a little race horse.

"I've got to call Walter and the Professor when we get back to our suite
Sean. Do you want to tell them our news?"

"Yeah can I? Do you think they'll be happy? Do you think they'll be glad
that I'm stayin?"

"I don't know how you can even ask that little man. I guarantee you that
they'll be delighted to learn that you're staying but I'll tell you
something else...I don't think they're going to be very surprised."

He looked up at me curiously but apparently decided not to press the point.

*******

I was standing on the balcony of our sea shore hotel suite talking on my
cell phone while Sean sat on one of the lounge chairs knees pulled up to
his chest and his chin resting on his knees as he watched me attentively.

"...yes, so I figure if we don't hit any traffic or other delays, we should
pull through the gate around 1:30... 2 o'clock at the latest. Oh and warn
Martha that we probably won't catch lunch on the road so we'll most likely
both be starving by the time we get there.

Now...both of you stay on the line. I've got somebody here who wants to tell
you something."

I offered my phone to Sean.

"It's both Walter and the Professor." I said in a muted voice He took the
phone and raised it to his ear.

"Hello...Hi Walter, Hi Dr. Swaim it's me Sean. Uh huh, uh huh. Fine...I'm
feelin good thanks. Yeah real good.

 Hey, listen...guess what? No...guess what Eric told me...no, no not THAT...he told
me that I'M NOT NEVER GOIN BACK TO THE NEST!!! Not NEVER! I'm staying with
him and with you guys forever! Yeah...yeah...THANKS! Me too! I can't wait to
get back home and see you guys...to see everybody! Yeah...uh huh. OK see you
tomorrow bye...I mean NITE!"

He was wearing a large "Sean smile" as he handed the phone back to me but
as I looked in the dim light, there seemed to be a trace of a tear in his
eyes.

"T-they both said they're REAL happy...and they're proud of me and that
they...that they love me and can't wait for me to be home. HOME Eric...we're
really and truly goin' HOME!"

I ruffled his hair and steered him inside.

"Let's turn in a bit early little man. We didn't get much sleep last night
and I'd like to leave pretty early in the morning. The sooner we leave
here, the sooner we get home...our HOME."

*******

He had been bouncing in his seat like a little jumping bean since he'd
first recognized where we were.

"We're REALLY close ERIC! We won't be long now!"

As we pulled up to the gate I noticed at once that there had been some
changes made. The brick guardhouse that had been largely ornamental ...used
only during rare large formal gatherings at the mansion was now manned by a
uniformed attendant.

He stepped out and approached my window which I lowered as he came near.

"Good afternoon Mr. Tucker. Welcome back. Welcome back Master Sean."

"Thank you...err...do you work for me?"

"Yes sir. I'm Richard."

"Have you worked for me very long...Richard?"

"In a manner of speaking, yes Sir."

Thinking for a moment, I asked;

"Are you a Skuggor Richard?"

"Skugga sir."

"Excuse me?"

"Skuggor is plural Sir. One is a Skugga and...yes Sir I am. I'll open the
gate Sir."

"Thank you...Richard." It was only as he turned to reenter the gatehouse and
open the gate that I noticed the big Glock 18 hanging on his belt.

We pulled up to the front door and I stepped out of the red Escalade.
Walter was on the steps to meet us.

"Welcome back Sir." Walter was in "official mode" again it would seem.

"I'm sorry about the surprise at the gate, it will become considerably less
obtrusive shortly but I'm revamping security pretty much across the board.
That...man...did us a bit of a favor by catching us with our pants down because
we've done some self-examination and identified some weakness...but we can
talk about that later Sir, there are more important things at hand right
now."

So saying, he did a most un-Walter like thing. He turned to Sean and
dropped to his knee reaching out he pulled the startled boy to him in a
tight emotional hug. In a husky voice he said;

"Welcome home lad. You are so very very welcomed here."

He held the hug for a long minute before breaking it and rising to his feet.

"Thanks Walter" responded Sean with a smile.

Regaining his decorum, Walter turned to me again.

"I'll have your luggage brought upstairs and we'll have the Escalade
dropped off at the agency this afternoon."

"Thanks Walter." I said with a mile as I grasped his arm and affectionately
squeezed it.

*****

"Mrs. Edwards! Mrs. Edwards!" he was almost flying into the kitchen. Martha
spun around from the counter she'd been working at and beaming she opened
her arms wide to welcome him into her hug. He ran to her and was at once
enfolded in her love.

"Guess what Mrs. Edward's, guess what?...I'm never leavin here! I'm gonna
stay here forever and ever!"

She was openly weeping as she rocked him round and round and muttered
unintelligible but loving sounds.

"Oh, my darling boy! My darling little boy! What a blessing! What a
wonderful blessing!"

After a few minutes she pushed him back and held him at arm's length
smiling and shaking her head.

"Oh what a happy day! Now you two...give me twenty minutes and I'll have a
nice lunch ready for you...you both shoo now!"

"Can we go tell John now?" Sean asked looking up at me anxiously.

"I think we'd be in big trouble if we didn't." I was smiling as I started
for the door.

"John! John! Are you in here?" Sean was gazing around the long garage
building but couldn't see our friend.

"I'm under here I'll be right out!" The familiar cheerful voice was coming
from under a red classis MG TD that was raised up on wheel jacks off to one
corner.

His smiling face popped up and soon he was walking toward us wiping his
hands on a shop cloth.

"You're back Seano and you look as good as new! Did you guys have a nice
drive down? How was the weather? Did you like the National Park? How about
the whale watching did you see many? I hope so. They're really something to
see aren't they?"

I knew that he was deliberately not giving Sean a chance to tell him his
news and the smile on his face got larger and larger as the frustrated
little boy tried so hard to be polite.

"Johhhhhhhhhn! John...wait a second, I gotta tell you my news!"

"What news Seano?" He was trying so hard to appear ignorant but he wasn't a
very good actor.

The little boy grabbed John's large hand and almost jumping with excitement
he said;

"John guess what? I gedda stay here for always! I'm NEVER going back to the
NEST...NEVER!"

With a loud happy whoop, John raised the boy up and tossed him lightly into
the air catching him and swinging him around.

"That's just about the best news I've ever heard kiddo! I'm so happy!"

Sean was laughing and squealing as the big man tossed him into the air a
second time.

Very soon the three of us were laughing with happiness.

*****

That night I held him in my arms as we lay in OUR bed. Nothing had ever
felt so right but even in this rush of happiness I realized there was still
one final issue to be settled between us and I wanted it done sooner than
later.

"Now my sweet little boy," I whispered to him. "We STILL have a great deal
to talk about and I think tomorrow you and I are going out to Fish Camp to
have a long conversation with Doctor Swaim."

"Kay Eric...but I STILL gedda stay here right?"

"Of course silly...remember you told me you weren't ever going to worry about
that again right? What we have to talk about is more personal but very very
important but it's NOTHING to worry about. Now give me a kiss and go to
sleep."

He rolled over onto me and kissed me tenderly before rolling onto his side
one arm and one leg thrust across my body.

"Nite Eric." He murmured "I love you."

"I love you too my little Sean. Sleep tight."

He was home. After all of this time...he was HOME.

(to be continued)

Next we'll have a long conversation with the Professor.

As always, I welcome your comments and ideas.
