David's Initiation 20

*******

Again David found himself in the next to last row of the packed airplane
waiting while more than 150 other people got off ahead of him. The flight was
more than thirty minutes late and he knew his mother would be worried. She
hated flying and always worried when anyone in the family used that mode of
transportation. She could never quite accept the overwhelming statistics that
proved flying was the safest method of travel.

David's last day of his visit with Kate, John, Mark, and Matthew began with
him down on the floor playing with the boys. When they took him to the
airport, he insisted they drop him at the curb of the terminal because it was
such a hassle to unstrap the boys, put them in strollers, walk him to his
gate and then reverse the process in order for them to get home. Now he was
about to see his parents for the first time in months and he was excited. He
had missed them just as much as he had Kate and her family. As expected, his
mother and father were waiting for him when he emerged from the jetway into
the concourse. His mother looked like she had successfully worried herself to
a nervous state and the welcome relief was expressed on her face. After a
tender family hug they worked their way to the parking lot and started the
drive home. He thought how funny it was that no matter how old he was or how
far he had traveled, when he came home he was still a little boy. He sat in
the back seat and politely listened to his mother tell him things he already
knew.

David's day also began with an agenda. At the top of that agenda was a phone
call to Texas. Everything else came second. He was anxious to make that call
but he would wait until after dinner and he was settled in his room before
making it. David was also anxious to begin rebuilding the life he had put on
hold during his tour in the Army. He was excited about working with Joe again
and about making the final arrangements for college. He still didn't have a
place to live and all the residence halls were full. Besides, after living in
the barracks a residence hall held no attraction for him what so ever. He
would have to find an apartment.

David's parents seemed to have a never-ending list of questions and pummeled
him with them before, during and after dinner. Finally, about 9:00 PM, David,
claiming exhaustion from traveling, excused himself and, leaving his parents
to watch TV, went to his room to shower before bed. Thirty minutes later he
reached for the phone.

`Wait! What will I say?' Dave began a conversation with himself. `First,
Paul will answer with, "Roehl," like he had that one time I called him. A
little arrogant maybe? Maybe more self-confident. Anyway, should I try to be
funny? Maybe I should be serious. I could start by telling him I need his
ass. No, too desperate. But I am desperate. No you're not; you're just
horny. Okay. Maybe I should go with how I feel? How do I feel? I miss him...
dearly. What do I miss? I miss the way he smells, the way he tastes, the way
he feels to the touch. I miss the sound of his voice. I want to know when we
can get together. Well, here goes...' Dave anxiously reached for the phone and
dialed.

(Riiii-) The receiver was picked up quickly - interrupting the first ring
before it could be completed.

"Roehl!" a voice filled with nervous anticipation on the other end announced.

"Hey, Lieutenant, do you realize this is the first weekend in the last nine
that we haven't been together?"

There was a momentary pause. "DAVE! Oh God, it's great to hear your voice.
Where are you?"

"I'm home and I miss you."

"Oh yeah, me too. You sound so good I could eat you."

Dave began to laugh. "If AT&T offered that service I'd gladly pay the price."
They both had a good laugh at that.

"Well, Stud Soldier, tell me all about your travels. I'd love to hear about
them."

Dave proceeded to tell everything that happened, including the towel fight
with the place kicker in the team locker room. He even broke the news that he
was going to be an uncle again. Then Dave asked Paul what he had been up to
and Paul talked about a couple of cases he was working on. Then the
conversation turned serious.

"Paul..."

"Yeah?"

"When can we get together?" Dave was begging and Paul could hear it in his
voice.

"Soon, Babe... I have a plan." Paul replied. "If you can spring loose on
Friday, two weeks from the day before yesterday, I've set a plan in motion to
fly into your metropolis. Whata you say?"

"There's nothing on my calendar and I'll make sure it's empty, just tell me
where and when."

"Well, I can get a flight that arrives at 1725 hrs; that's 5:25PM for you
civilians. I haven't found a hotel yet but we'll talk several times before th
en so when I get that settled I'll let you know. How's that sound?"

"Wonderful! Just like the sound of your voice."

"Yeah, you sound great too. You know what?" Paul asked.

"What?"

"The minute I heard your voice I got hard."

"Well, the second I dialed the phone I got hard thinking about how good it
was gonna be to hear your sexy voice." Dave wasn't going to let Paul get the
best of him.

"What're you wearing?" Paul asked in his best, very low, sexy voice.

"Nothing but a pair of those sexy boxer briefs you gave me. Every time I put
them on I think about the time you gave them to me and I get hard. You knew
that was gonna happen, didn't you!"

"I'd like to say I did, but I didn't. Now that I know it works I'll get you
some more."

"What're you wearing?" Dave asked his lover.

"Same as you."

"I'd love to see you in your boxer briefs... and then I'd use my teeth to grab
the waistband and slowly pull them down off your body."

"Oh, Dave..." Paul was beginning to breathe heavily. "Please, let's not do
this over the phone. It's gonna screw up my mind, let alone mess up my
briefs."

"Okay." Dave chuckled in agreement. "I'll just have to hang up and go beat
off thinking about you. Now that I've heard your voice it won't take long."

"Me neither. Listen, shall I call you next time?" Paul asked; he was thinking
primarily about the cost of the phone calls and Dave's limited income."

"Better let me call you, say Wednesday, after I get some idea of what I'm
going to be doing and have a better grip on my schedule."

"Okay, Dave, if I happen to be out (or in the shower jerking off thinking
about you)," Paul whispered, "leave a message on the answering machine and
I'll get back to you."

"Sounds like a plan, you perv." Dave laughed at Paul's whispered statement.
"Bye, Paul."

"Bye..." Paul hesitated, he was about to say `my love' but finished with,
"...my Stud Soldier."



Monday morning David was up early so his father could drop him off at the
construction company office. He was surprised to find that all the same
people he used to work with were still there. They were actually waiting for
him to arrive and everyone greeted him with a handshake and a pat on the
back. Mr. McCracken's secretary even hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
Joe wasted no time taking David back under his wing and helped bring him up
to speed. David felt like it was just yesterday that he left to join the
Army, not two years ago.

One of David's highest priorities was to find some transportation. His father
sold the car he and Kate had shared when he left home so now he needed to get
something for himself. He mentioned this to Joe during lunch and Joe asked
him what he was looking for. David explained that he wanted something simple,
economical, and cheep, maybe a small pickup would do.

Later that afternoon, another employee approached David and said Joe had told
him David was looking for new wheels. He said he had a nephew who owned a
Toyota pickup and was thinking about selling it, would David be interested?

After dinner, David's father drove him to look at the pickup. It looked well
cared for, no big dents or scratches and the inside was very clean and almost
smelled like new, the guy didn't smoke. The one drawback was that it had over
110,000 miles on the engine. The owner said that he had replaced the
transmission at about 85,000 miles and the engine had always run well. When
the guy stated his price David almost flipped, it was so low he couldn't pass
it up. They made the deal on the spot. David's father wrote a check, which
the guy accepted without question. In that town everyone knew everyone else
and trusted each other's word. David followed his father home. During dinner,
David offered to repay his father from his wages for the summer but his
father declined the offer, saying it worth having David back home after being
gone for two years and, besides, most of the money came from the sale of his
and Kate's old car. David's mother agreed so the case was closed.

Wednesday evening Dave was sitting at the desk in his room paging through the
owner's manual for his truck that the seller had given him. That was another
selling point for the truck, Dave never heard of buying a used car and
getting the owner's manual along with it.  As he sat quietly, his hand
reached over and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" Dave said, followed by silence. "Hello?" Dave repeated himself.

"Dave?"

"Paul?"

"This is really weird. I dialed your number but I didn't hear it ring. Were
you calling someone?"

"No! I don't know what happened. I just picked it up. I don't think it rang...
but who cares! Talk to me, Babe." That was the first time Dave called Paul
`babe'. It just seemed and felt right. They talked for over an hour and Paul
said he would call Sunday evening then they hung up.

Sunday evening Dave was in his room looking through some stuff the university
sent him. He absentmindedly placed his hand on the phone and let it rest
there. When the phone rang he picked up the receiver before the first ring
finished.

"Paul?"

"Yeah, Babe. You know... you're getting good at this. I didn't hear the phone
ring again."

"Well, this time I heard it ring here."

"Okay, I called to tell you I got us a hotel. Do you know where the Westin
Hotel is near the airport?"

"Yeah, I've seen it a few times when I've gone to the airport."

"Well, that's where we're staying. That okay with you?"

"Where ever you are is where I want to be."

"Why did I know that's what you'd say! Anyway, I can't give you a room
number but when you get there just go up to Registration, identify yourself
and tell them you're there to visit me. They'll probably need to see some
identification and then they'll tell you how to get to our room. What time
you think you can get there?"

"Not until about 1800 hrs, Lieutenant. See, I still know how to speak
military time."

"Okay, smartass Corporal, I'll expect to see you then. And if I'm not
checked in when you get there, just wait for me in the lobby. Okay?"

"What if I call you Wednesday?" Dave asked.

"Not a good idea. I'm going to be at the Pentagon all week. You see, that's
how I'm gonna be able to see you so soon. I'll just detour on the way back
here. So unless I call you, everything is a GO."

They talked for another forty-five minutes before saying good-bye.


"David, didn't I hear the phone ring last night?" His mother asked Monday
morning during breakfast.

"Yes, Mother, it was for me."

"We were watching TV in the family room and it stopped ringing before your
father could get out of his chair. You know, we forget what it's like to have
children living at home again. We hardly ever get calls anymore, and almost
never at night. So, I guess we'll just let you take those calls and you can
tell us if it is for us."

"Yes, Mother, the call last night was from one of my Army buddies. We're
going to get together next weekend in the city. I'll leave Friday after work
and probably won't get home until after dinner Sunday. Will that cause a
problem for you and Dad?"

"Oh no, Dear, it's so nice that you keep in touch with your Army friends. It
will help if you'll just tell us what you are doing so we can make our own
plans about dinner and such.

"Yes. I met some really nice people and I plan to keep in touch." `If she
only knew!' David thought. `But not now, I'm not ready.' "Another thing,
from time-to-time I'll need to make some long distance calls. I'll pay you
back, just let me know how much. Will that be okay?"

"Oh, don't worry about that, Honey."


By Friday Dave hadn't heard a word from Paul so he assumed their rendezvous
was a GO. He was calm all day until he glanced at the clock and saw it read
4:15. Suddenly he began to get nervous. At 4:25 he told Joe he needed to
leave a few minutes early to pick up something at Wal-Mart. He was out the
door in a flash. Dave rushed home and showered. He put on a pair of new, dark
blue Dockers his mother bought him but he purposely chose not to wear any
underpants. He threw a few additional articles of clothing in his overnight
bag, jumped in his truck and hit the road. Dave had been planning this
weekend ever since Paul said he was coming. He was going to show Paul that he
had some resources of his own and knew how to have a good time. Several times
during the drive to the Westin Hotel he had an erection but each softened
with time. There are limits to the hydraulic function of the male penis.

Dave exited the Interstate and quickly found the hotel. After parking in the
lot he grabbed his bag and headed for the hotel lobby. When the doorman
opened the door for him he nodded and smiled, then thanked the guy as thought
this was old hat for him. Walking into the lobby, Dave's eyes looked around
and then up. The front of the hotel was all glass panels that must have been
at least forty feet high and the lobby was open all the way to the third
floor. It was very impressive and the hotel reeked of $$$$. Looking around he
saw the Registration Desk and walked toward it. `I sure hope Paul is here,'
he thought.

"May I help you, Sir?" the young lady behind the counter asked.

"Yes. My name is David Baker and I'm here to see Mr. Paul Roehl. Has he
checked in yet?"

"If you don't mind, Sir, may I see a driver's license or some other form of
identification?" The lady asked as she began typing something into her
computer terminal.

"Certainly," David replied. He was glad Paul had alerted him that this might
happen; it allowed him to act self-confident. He handed the lady his driver's
license and waited.

"Here you are, Sir, thank you." She said as she handed Dave's license back to
him then she reached up on top of the counter, slapped a bell and announced
loudly, "FRONT." In a matter of seconds a young man whom Dave estimated to be
about a year or two older than he and wearing a uniform that seemed to
advertise his good looks and fine physique was standing beside him.

"Would you please show Mr. Baker to this room, Todd?" The lady handed Todd a
piece of paper with the room number written on it.

"Yes ma'am." Turning to Dave he said, "May I take your bag, Sir?"

"No thanks, it's not heavy."

"Please follow me, Sir." Todd said as he turned and began walking toward the
bank of elevators. When the elevator doors were closed, Todd took a plastic
card, inserted it into a thin slot just above the columns of buttons then
pressed the button for the top floor.

Dave could almost feel Todd examining every inch of his body as the elevator
smoothly ascended to its destination. He began to feel naked, like Todd was
undressing him right there in the elevator. It felt exciting and he began to
get hard. Thankfully the elevator soon stopped and the doors opened. Todd
seemed momentarily distracted and this gave Dave an opportunity to adjust his
erection to a more comfortable position.

"Suite 1802 is right over there, Sir. Just knock on the door, Mr. Roehl is
expecting you."

Dave walked over to the door and knocked. As he waited for the door to open
he turned his head back toward the elevator to see if Todd was still watching
him. He was. Todd was standing in the elevator door preventing it from clo
sing and he had a smile on his face. Dave smiled back.

While Dave and Todd were making eyes at each other, the door Suite 1802
opened, a bare arm reached out and a hand wrapped around Dave's upper arm
then yanked the startled young man through the small opening and into the
room. Dave's bag made it through the door just in time to avoid being sliced
in two by the closing door.

Dave's eyes immediately found Paul's and they locked on to each other. From
that moment on their minds accelerated at warp speed and everything that
happened seemed to move in slow motion. Paul's arms were already around him,
lifting him into the air. Dropping the bag, Dave wrapped his arms around
Paul's neck, lifting himself closer to Paul's face. Their lips and slightly
open mouths drew closer and closer. Paul stopped moving and allowed Dave to
close the distance. Their lips touched. The ensuing kiss was soft, wet and
tender.  Two sighs broke the silence on the room followed by moans of joy.
Dave lifted his knees and grabbed hold of Paul's hips and at that moment he
realized Paul was totally naked. Paul turned and began walking slowly toward
the bedroom holding Dave tightly to him. This scene began to seem
surprisingly familiar when Dave remembered what happened at their last
meeting in Paul's apartment. Dave relaxed his legs from around Paul's hips
and, discovering his feet didn't touch the floor he toe-healed his loafers
off his feet and heard them fall to the ultra-thick carpet. He felt Paul's
right hand unzip his pants then work on the button at the waistband. When
Paul managed to get that undone Dave's pants slid rapidly over his hips, down
his legs and to the floor. Paul's free hand instantly found Dave's bare
bottom.

"A little anxious, are we?" Paul said softly.

"Just thinking ahead," Dave replied with a grin, "as usual."

Reaching the massive bed, Paul dragged Dave into the middle of it somewhat
like a lion would drag its prey into its den. Paul broke their kiss only long
enough to slide Dave's polo shirt over his head and toss it somewhere around
the room then they re-engaged their kiss. Dave was now naked, except for his
socks.

Paul lay on top of his lover; his legs were parted on either side of Dave's,
their straining erections lying side by side. Each man seemed intent on
pressing their groins so tightly together that their cocks might be forced
lengthwise into their abdomens. Paul finally withdrew from their kiss and he
placed his head beside Dave's.

"You're wonderful! I've missed you so! You smell so good; you taste great
too." Paul whispered these things into Dave's left ear as he nibbled on the
lobe. "I really need to taste your essence, to drink from your fountain of
life."

"Ohh... Yes... I need to do that too!" Dave whispered back.

"Just lay still while I get into position." Paul instructed.

"Hurry... please." Dave's response sounded like urgency was taking control.

Hearing Dave's plea, Paul decided to tease Dave and prolong his agony and
ecstasy as long as he could so he started placing soft kissed on Dave's neck,
tasting as much of him as possible. Working his way down Dave's body, his
lips latched onto the left nipple and suckled it for a moment. Dave moaned
loudly and his body began to writhe. After caressing Dave's right nipple,
then his navel, Paul shifted his position so that by the time his mouth was
positioned above Dave's genitals, his own equipment was within easy reach of
Dave's mouth. Dave had followed Paul's movements and as soon as Paul was
within reach, Dave's hands were caressing every square (even round) inch of
Paul's body he could touch.

Once in position, Paul lay down beside Dave so he could pleasure Dave other
without having to support his own weight while allowing Dave full access to
his love toys. They could have played around longer but Paul chose to take
David into his mouth as soon as he was in position. First he cleaned Dave's
glans of the precum that was leaking profusely from the slit then he kissed
the tip. He felt Dave return the favor. Paul slid his lips over Dave's helmet
and slowly and softly caressed it with his tongue. Dave was giving him the
same treatment. Paul eased down on Dave, taking perhaps no more than an inch
inside his mouth then pulled back slowly while maintaining a vacuum. He
carefully eased down on Dave again and pulled back slowly as if he was trying
to hold Dave inside him. Paul's method of performing fellatio was slow,
deliberate, and driving Dave wild. Dave attempted to match his lover's
technique and was succeeding better than he knew. The objective of both men
was to provide as much pleasure for the other that they could possible take
before erupting.

This time, the rare event happened, Dave lost it before Paul. While he was
concentrating so intently on making love to Paul's organ, Dave's own orgasm
caught him by surprise. With Dave's lips around the base of Paul's dick, his
contractions began, his body jerked, his hips thrust wildly and he moaned
deeply as his hands grabbed Paul's hips and pulled him to him. His body
released its treasure directly down Paul's throat. Paul backed off
immediately and allowed the rest of Dave's sperm to fill his mouth before it
was consumed.

Paul's climax followed almost immediately. When Dave moaned while Paul was
deep inside Dave's throat it was like pulling a trigger. Paul blasted weeks
of stored cum down his partner's throat and held on to his lover like he
wanted to never let go.

Heartbeat: normal.
Pulse: normal.
Respiration: normal.
Mental capacity: recovering.

Lovingly Paul's tongue removed the remnants of Dave's juices from his cock
and then using his lips he laid Dave's completely relaxed penis across his
thigh. Turning his head, Paul looked down the length of his torso and watched
Dave finish cleaning his cock. When Dave released Paul's flaccid member Paul
slowly sat up then repositioned himself to lay along side Dave and take him
into his arms. They kissed deeply. Although they were spent they were not
tired. Paul was the first to speak.

"You hungry? I sure am. And now that we've had the protein appetizer the
hotel room service menu includes grilled salmon. If we order now it'll take
about 45 minutes to an hour." Paul imparted this information in a soft,
breathy, sexy voice directly into Dave's ear. The intent was to try to make
it sound sexy and it worked.

"Yeah, order now and then let's just lie here for about thirty more minutes
before showering for dinner to remove all this perspiration. I'm not done
holding you." Dave whispered back.

"Great. If you can let go of me for a couple of minutes I'll call."

"Okay, call... and then get your ass back here." Dave insisted as he released
Paul from his grip. Paul quickly found the phone on the nightstand and
pressed the button for room service. In addition to salmon, Paul also ordered
a bottle of excellent California Chardonnay and returned to Dave's side.

The two men lay together, sometimes Paul was on top and sometimes Dave was on
top. With their hands they would stroke, pet, and caress in an attempt to
communicate their love for each other.

"What's this!" Paul said as he ran his fingers through Dave's hair.

"That, Lieutenant, is hair, just in case you forgot. I managed to skip my
last two haircuts before leaving the Army so I was able to get a running
start on growing more. Jealous?"

"I like it! It looks good on you... and it's sexy." Paul answered while
continuing to caress Dave's head. "Hey, let me hop in the shower for a
quickie then you can do the same." Paul said as he pulled away. Dave released
him reluctantly then rolled onto his back with a sigh.

"What if I join you?" Dave suggested.

"Now you know we'd be there too long and miss dinner."

"Yeah, right." Dave sighed again. Paul had a quick shower to remove the layer
of sweat that had coated his body during the torrid sex he and Dave had
enjoyed earlier. Paul knew they both would enjoy their meal more if they were
clean and could then start fresh when the meal was done. Dave was waiting
patiently with a broad smile when Paul stepped out of the shower. They kissed
briefly then Dave stepped into the shower while Paul dried himself off.

Paul was just donning one of the soft, white, terrycloth bathrobes provided
by the hotel when he heard a knock at the door. He slid his feet into the
matching slippers, also hotel provided, walked into the living room to the
door and looked through the peephole. He could see a food cart covered with a
white linen tablecloth with Todd waiting patiently to wheel it into the room.

"May I set this up for you, Mr. Roehl?" Todd asked when Paul opened the door.
Paul had purposefully not used his military rank when he made reservations or
signed in at the registration desk. The credit card he was using was one he
had before entering the Army and he just kept it that way.

"Thanks, Todd, I'm sure you don't need any help from me so I'll just get out
of your way." Paul smiled at the attractive young man as he pushed the cart
up to a small round table near the large picture window that provided a
panoramic view of the airport. In the darkness with the runways, taxiways and
terminal all lit up the scene looked like a large Christmas display.

As Todd went about his duty of setting the table for dinner, he happened to
glance up and into the bedroom. Dave had finished his shower and was standing
in front of the mirror over the dresser using a comb to try different
hairstyles. He was wearing the other terrycloth bathrobe but had not closed
and tied it shut and it to gaped open about eight inches exposing the full
length of his body. As he combed his hair his cock jiggled and swung from
side to side in a very appetizing way. Todd seemed frozen momentarily as he
stared at the image in the mirror. Blood began to rush into his prick as he
almost gasped. Ripping his eyes from the erotic sight to return to his duty
he noticed Paul smiling at him. He knew Paul had already assessed the
situation and was fully aware of what Todd was looking at. He was also sure
Paul could see the bulge at his groin.

"I've never seen him before," Todd said as he quickly struggled to recover,
"he's not from one of the local services is he!"

Paul knew exactly what Todd was asking. He was assuming Dave was a young man
who Paul had acquired from one of the local escort services, what the English
like to call a `rent boy'. After all, Todd had seen several such young men
often in his line of work. Paul's initial reaction was one of anger at the
insult that Todd had just thrown at Dave. But then he realized that Todd's
assumption was actually a compliment.

"Private stock." Paul replied with a grin.

"No offense, sir, but I'd say you are a lucky man, really cute, damn fine."

"And don't I know it!" Paul said proudly.

Todd finished his task and walked toward the door, leaving the cart behind.
"I'll leave the cart here just so you'll have some place to put the dishes
if you need to use the table for any reason."

"Thanks, Todd, nice job." Paul smiled as he held out this hand. Todd placed
his hand, palm up, under Paul's and watched a $20.00 bill drop into it.

"Enjoy your evening, sir." Todd said as he backed out the door with a
devilish grin on his face.

"You can count on it." Paul replied before the door closed. `I think that
young man would like to join us.' Paul thought as he turned the lock in the
door. Turning around he saw Dave walk out of the bedroom.

"Dinner is served?" Dave asked. "I didn't hear it come. I'm famished!"

"You'd better close your robe before I eat you instead. Or, better yet, let
Todd come back and do the job for me."

"What's with Todd?" Dave asked.

"Oh nothing, he almost fainted when he saw you standing in front of the
mirror combing your hair with your cock swinging back and forth like you were
trolling."

"Oh gawd, did I do that!" Dave exclaimed with embarrassment, as he blushed a
little. "I didn't know anyone was here."

"Hey, he thinks I rented you for the evening; he thinks you're cute and hot.
Why, he threw a boner right here in front of the table."

"You're joking, right?"

"Not this time, Stud Soldier." Paul answered as he hugged Dave and gave him
an affectionate kiss. "Now let's eat before the meal gets cold."

Todd had set the table so they would be facing each other and parallel to the
window with the view of the airport for atmosphere. Paul poured some
Chardonnay into their glasses then raised his toward Dave. Dave raised his
glass in response.

"To us!" Paul exclaimed softly with a little hoarseness in his voice.

"To us!" Dave echoed. This was the first time he ever remembered anyone ma
king a toast that involved him and he felt a tightness in his throat.
They clinked their glasses then drank. Setting their glasses down they
removed the silver covers from their plates to reveal delicious looking
grilled salmon with rice and some steamed veggies. Feeling a little silly,
Dave broke off a piece of salmon and, placing it on his fork he extended his
hand and offered it to Paul. Catching on quickly, Paul opened his mouth and
allowed Dave to slowly and sensually insert the food. Paul chewed the bite
then repeated the gesture for Dave. For the rest of the meal the two lovers
sat quietly, feeding each other in one of the most intimate acts of affection
either had ever experienced. Occasionally one of them would giggle or laugh
softly. They paused from time to time to drink the wine and Paul made sure
their glasses were never empty. By the end of the meal both men were hard as
steel and leaking precum all over those terrycloth robes.

With the meal complete they cleared the table and placed all the dinnerware
on the cart that Todd had left behind. Paul turned out the living room lights
as they adjourned to the bedroom and Dave turned out the bedroom lights. The
curtains were wide open and the lights from the airport filled the room with
a soft multicolor glow. Sliding onto the bed from either side the lovers met
in the middle and picked up where they left off earlier to take their
showers.

After several minutes of leaving pecker tracks on each other's bellies Dave
spoke. "Your wish is my command, General."

Paul hesitated for just a moment, totally enjoying the situation and the
wonderful offer Dave just made him. "Stud Soldier... I wish you to be inside
me." Then he gave Dave one of the most tender and deep kisses he could.

"Sir... yes Sir." Dave whispered in Paul's ear.

"And do it now, soldier, on the double." Paul urgently commanded.

"Sir, yes Sir." Dave replied more emphatically. He found the tube of lube
Paul had placed on the nightstand earlier, squeezed some on his fingers and
quickly found Paul's rosebud. Having already crossed the condom-less
threshold during their last sexual encounter both men were eager to repeat
the performance. Gently and with confidence, Dave applied the lube to Paul's
anus and soon had him opened and ready for penetration. Paul was already
holding his knees tightly against his chest.

"Now, Dave, now." Paul begged. Dave moved up over Paul's body and his cock,
behaving like it had radar, went straight to its target. Dave's entry was
so effortless it was like Paul's body had opened and sucked him inside. In a
matter of seconds they were `one', Paul was moaning and breathing hard even
though Dave had not begun his movement and the excitement of rejoining with
his love had Dave at an emotional peek. Dave, buried deep inside his soul
mate, knew he needed to take charge and slow them down so he held his
position until the intensity of the moment passed. When he felt his control
strengthening and Paul's excitement ebbing, Dave began to make slow,
passionate love. Initially he tried his best to avoid over-stimulating Paul's
prostate. As their physical and emotional union grew, Dave began increasing
pressure on Paul's sensitive spot. Over the past ten months Dave had learned
to read Paul quite well and could tell when he was getting close to orgasm.
That allowed Dave to gage his own climax to match Paul's as closely as
possible.

Making love in front of a large picture window with the curtains completely
open added its own excitement. Although no one could see into the room, Dave
and Paul had the feeling they were making love on a stage and perhaps the
passengers on the planes that were taking off and landing were watching them.
That added a new level of excitement and risk to their act of love.

The moment of no return finally arrived. Dave watched Paul's face contort
with pleasure, felt his body stiffen and listened to his sounds and could
sense that he was about to leap over the edge and that fact was crucial to
propelling Dave to the same precipice. Arm in arm, body to body they leaped
together, Paul spraying both their bodies with his cum and Dave filling
Paul's gut with his hot, milky substance.

It was several minutes before either man regained any semblance of
cognizance, primarily because they were in no rush to leave the state of
euphoria they had traveled to. Dave lay quietly on top of Paul listening to
his heartbeat and hearing the air enter and leave his lungs. He kissed Paul's
neck then moved higher and found two lips ready to join with his in an
expression of love. Paul hoped he wasn't dreaming as he held Dave in his
arms. He felt Dave softening so he squeezed tighter trying to keep his friend
inside him. Eventually his sphincter tired and released its captive to slowly
slide from its temporary sanctuary. Paul then rolled them onto their sides,
found the top sheet and pulled it over them just before sleep claimed both of
them.


Without opening his eyes, Dave knew he was alone in the bed. He raised up on
one elbow and looked around the room. The clock displayed 2:08. Where was
Paul? He moved to the edge of the bed, stood up and took a better look around
the room. He checked the bathroom and found it empty.

In the glow of light from the airport Dave easily found his way to the living
room. There, sitting at the table, he saw Paul silhouetted against the
airport lights and looking out the window. Slowly he walked to the table and
sat down. When Paul turned to look at him Dave saw streaks of tears running
down Paul's cheeks. Dave reached out and used his thumb to tenderly wipe away
some of the tears then he covered Paul's hands with his own.

"You alright?" Dave asked, his voice filled with concern. Paul had turned his
head to look out the window. He turned back and looked Dave directly in the
eyes.

"Yes. I'm fine." He said softly. "No... I'm not... I'm better than that... I'm
in love... with you. I know this is pretty heavy stuff, and I don't know if
you are ready for this, and I pray you don't run away, but I have to say
this... I love you."

Dave stared back into Paul's eyes. He wanted to assure Paul that his love was
welcome, desired in fact. But he held his voice to allow Paul to say what was
on his mind. He must have given it a lot of thought.

"There, I've said it!" Paul continued. "And it feels good, no great to
finally tell you how I feel. From the day I saw you in the weight room I
always felt like I loved you. After I got to know you better that feeling got
stronger. Oh, yeah, the sex is great but that's only a part of it. You take
my breath away! You make me laugh and you laugh with me. You always seem to
know what to say at the right moment. I always feel comfortable when I'm with
you. You make me feel like I'm me. You seem to enjoy doing some of the same
crazy things I like to do. I never get tired of talking to you because you
listen to my stupid conversation and are courteous enough to seem to like it.
I didn't put all this together until you weren't there. The Thursday after
you left I went to the Annex to work out like usual. I found myself looking
around, waiting for you to arrive. Out on the track I kept expecting you to
run up and join me. In the weight room I kept looking at the doorway
expecting you to walk through it at any moment. Then in the sauna I had to
admit you were gone. You weren't going to come back. I felt so alone I cried.
My world seemed to fall apart without you. Thank God nobody came in and saw
me; I couldn't have explained it. I had no idea I had become so attached to
you until you weren't there."

Paul paused for a moment to look out the window again. They watched as the
airplanes took off and landed in eerie, silent, slow motion. Then he turned
his head and looked back at Dave.

"I love you, David Baker. I don't know if I have a right to ask this but I'm
asking if you would consider having me in you life for a long, long time. I
won't get out of the Army until November next year. I've considered if I
should ask you to hang around and wait for me until I get out. You're going
to college and I know you'll meet a lot of other guys you'll be attracted
to. And I can guarantee other guys will be after you. Only you can answer
that question. At least now I can feel better knowing I've told you how I
feel."

By now tears were streaming down Dave's cheeks. He got out of his chair, sank
to his knees in front of Paul, moved between Paul's knees and wrapped his
arms around Paul in a very tight embrace. He was silent for a few minutes.

"Oh, Paul! I love you too. I've wanted to tell you for the longest time but
was afraid you weren't ready and I might lose you. What you just said
expresses my feelings so much better than I ever could. And I don't want
anybody else. Those other guys in college can just go piss up a rope; you're
the man for me. I'm ready to start planning our future together if you are."

"Look at us! Look at me! I never used to cry. Now I seem to cry at the drop
of a hat. See what you've done to me? But these are tears of joy. What's
your excuse?" Paul began to laugh.

Dave placed a wet, sloppy kiss in the middle of Paul's chest. "God, you make
me happy!" He kissed Paul's chest again. They remained silent for several
minutes trying to categorize and understand all that had just been said.
Finally Paul leaned over, kissed Dave on the top of his head.

"Let's go to bed... Partner."

"I like the sound of that... Partner." Dave replied as he stood up and took
hold of Paul's hand. In bed again, Dave spooned back against Paul and
together they drifted off to a sleep filled with happiness.
