Chapter #3

I don't know what the time was when I awoke, my cock hard as
steel. The urgent and painful need to empty my bladder is what
woke me up  and Shawn snuggling closer.  Moving to extract my
arm from under his head, he moved and murmured something
unintelligible but I had to get to the bathroom or piss the bed.
I managed to roll out of the queen size bed and almost ran into the
bathroom groaning in relief as a strong stream of urine poured
into the commode feeling my groin muscles relaxing and my cock
slowly softening from the pressure.  Milking my cock down
draining the last dribbling drops I was suddenly surprised.

"Do you need help with that?"

"Damn Shawn, you scared the shit out of me. I thought you were
still asleep."

Shawn walked through the door way with his half hard cock
swaying from side to side as he moved alongside of me. Putting his
arm around my waist he leaned in and kissed me gently.

"I was until you got out of bed. Since you woke me, figured might as
well take a piss with you. Do you always look so gorgeous in the
mornings?"

"No more then you do. "

I kissed him gently taking his cock in my hand and aiming its thick
length at the commode while he pissed.  His mouth tasted delicious
even though we had not brushed our teeth. His hand running up
and down my spine sent shivers through me and my cock had
hardened but not from needing to piss.  I could feel the sharp
tingles running through my groin spreading over me.  Shawn's
touch was like fire as his fingers kneaded my back muscles
relaxing me.  Slowly milking his cock I could feel it swelling,
hardening as he kissed me and took my cock in his hand.

Turning slightly Shawn lowered the commode lid and kissed my
hardening tits, his lips and tongue sending quivering waves flowing
through me. As he sat on the commode, I ran my hands over his
back and into his luxuriant hair groaning as his lips surrounded
the head of my cock.

"Ok Shawn baby take it."

I arched my back shoving my cock deeper into his mouth. The
feeling of his hot wet mouth sent fire through me and bright lights
exploded in my head.  "Take it Shawn, suck me.  Drain me, drink
the cream in my nuts."

I was in a total encompassing fog of ecstasy as Shawn picked me up
effortlessly and carried me into the bedroom laying me down.  My
mind was numbed by the desire he had generated within me. I felt
him lay beside me and then his huge cock pressed against my lips.
I opened my lips and felt him enter and the faint taste of urine as
he slid down my throat in one smooth pulsing motion.

"Suck it with me Kev. Lets cum together. Suck on my cock baby.
Fuck my mouth drive it deep Kev."

We both fell into a mutual driving tempo and I could feel Shawn
sucking my cock with the power of his mouth gripping me tight. I
gripped him and placed my hand over the crack of his ass pushing
him in tighter as he drove his cock deep with strong piston drive.
Wave after wave of lusting desire swept over me as I felt his cock
thicken and stretch even deeper suddenly exploding sending thick
streams of his cum down my throat as I exploded my nuts drawn
tight into my groin send my cum deep into his throat.  Muscles
tightened and our backs arched shoving meat tight into each
other's mouths. I sucked and sucked Shawn's softening cock
feeling my cock being stripped by his lips squeezing as I slowly
softened.   The sensations were driving me crazy and I let his cock
fall from my mouth.

"Oh my god Shawn, I can't take anymore." He continued holding
me his tongue driving me into frenzy until I pulled my cock from
his mouth. "

"Man Shawn, are you always that hungry in the morning? I felt
like I was dieing the way you sucked me."

He didn't say anything but twisted around and drove his tongue
into my mouth penetrating deep twisting and touching.  I was
gasping for breath when he relaxed and hovered over me his dark
brown eyes gleaming.

"I want to wake you every morning sucking your cock Kevin. I
want you too know how I feel about you.  I don't love you YET!!! I
love sex and sex with you is fantastic.  Sex is sex but some people
make it feel like they are giving you something other then sex, not
just sucking or fucking and then when you get your rocks off that's
it.  I want you too feel that I am giving you something other then
the cream in my nuts or my cock up your ass. I want you to feel
that I am giving you something of me and I hope you will feel the
same way I do. Does that make sense to you? "

I lay there underneath Shawn I could feel much of what he was
saying. There was something inside of me that was reaching out
but still not quite ready.   Everything I had wanted to hear was
there and I believed him but there was that big BUT nagging at my
mind.  I knew what the big BUT was and it scared me.  I'd had a
couple of guys, damn good-looking ones latch on and then suddenly
they needed money for this or they needed money for that.  There
was that big BUT.  I didn't know how I was going to tell the
difference.  I didn't want to spend the rest of my life going from one
gold digger to the next.  Money was nice but it could be a curse.

"Let me sit up Shawn. This is a hell of a time to be discussing this
but we have plenty of time.  You keep looking at me like that
though and we will never get out of bed.  Do you have any idea how
beautiful your eyes are?  It's like you can see right through me."

"Sorry Kev. I didn't mean to stare but you are pretty easy on the
eyes yourself even though you keep thinking you aren't. I didn't
mean to blurt this out but something inside said I had to get it out
while I was thinking about it."

Pushing myself up a little further on the bed, I pulled the sheets up
around my waist.  Shawn started to get in beside me and I asked
him not too.

"Just pull the sheet up around you Shawn.  You're distracting
enough without sitting there naked. "

"You are too in case you don't know it. Okay if I scoot up a little
closer?"

I watched him closely as he shifted position on the bed.  Every
muscle in his magnificent body rippled as he moved.  Biceps flexed,
chest muscles tightened his pectorals thickening as he leaned
forward and pulled the sheet a round his waist.   If any man was
built to haunt someone, Shawn was that man.  His comments ran
through my head again and I could almost feel an aura of absolute
sincerity radiate from him as he looked at me.

"I have never met anyone like you Shawn. I've been in bed with a
few men since I was 15 but you are different.  When you have
touched me it's like my mind goes numb, my body melts.  I feel
every nerve tingling as you hold me and kiss me.  No one has ever
made me really feel like that.  Sex with you is fantastic but it is not
just sex, it feels like a bond is being built between us and I don't
want to let you go.  Do I love you? I don't know Shawn but I do
know I have special feelings growing inside of me for you.  Could I
have sex with you again, right now, yes I could. That's not what it's
about Shawn. I need someone that wants me for me and build a
future with.  Are we going to do that? I don't know if we will but I
don't want to lose you until we find out or at least try. "

We sat close to each other for a long time. A big lump was in my
throat and I felt like I wanted to bawl and have him hold me but we
just looked at each other.

Shawn reached out for my hand and looked at me with soft brown
eyes.

"Okay if I hold you now?"

Shawn made me feel like my world would begin with him as I
melted into his arms feeling his strong broad chest under my
cheek.  It was as if he was telling me I was safe and always would
be in his arms.  The tears I had been fighting broke and streamed
down my cheeks as his hand ran over my back soothing me.  It was
like I was a little boy again when my grandfather held me in his
arms.  I felt the same warmth and love I felt then as I drifted off in
Shawn's arms.
* * * * * *

A soft shaking of my shoulder and a loud knock on the room door
woke me still in Shawn's arms.

"We better see who that is Kevin, probably someone wanting to
clean the room, it's past 10o'clock. "

"You've been holding me all this time?"

"Yep, sure have. You going to answer the door?"

I jumped up and looking through the peephole, it was the maid.

"Yes?"

"Housekeeping sir, we'd like to clean the room."

"Can you come back in half an hour or so? We should be out by
then."

"Just hang the sign on the door when you leave sir. Sorry to have
bothered you."

We showered quickly, shaved and dressed. Looked around the
room for any missed items and left hanging the sign on the door.

"How about a quick breakfast before we hit the road? I'm a little
hungry."

"Sure Kev. Where we headed for?"

"Lake George Holiday Inn.  We can be there this evening.  You go
on in the restaurant while I check us out."

As Shawn walking into the restaurant I went over to the front desk
and handed my key card to the clerk.

"One day Mr. Karper? Is there anything else we can do for you?"

"One thing yes.  Is the Marriott on the national reservation
system? "

"Yes sir, we are.""

"Would you check and see if a room or suite is available in the
Holiday Inn in Lake George, N.Y.?  If there is confirm one for me
for later today."

"Were you going in for breakfast Mr. Karper? I can check this out
for you while you are, save you a little time. I'm sure they will have
something at this time of the year what with travelers heading
home after their vacations.  People start leaving Lake George at
this time so their kids can get ready for school. They should start
posting their vacancies on the system about now."

"Okay, thanks."

Shawn had taken a two-person table by the window and was
looking over the menu as I walked up.

"Anything good on there.

"Plenty if you don't mind stuffing yourself with fat.  I think I will
have the Eggs Benedict and fruit without the potatoes. The eggs
are pouched and that cuts down on the fat.  Milk to drink, 2% if
they have it. "

"That sounds good for me as well. The front desk is making our
reservations in Lake George for us."

"Shawn, I didn't mean to order you around a little while ago. I
should have asked you to join me in the restaurant not told you.
I'm sorry, it's just habit."

"I hope you aren't going to be apologizing for every mistake you
make from now on Kev.  Hell, I'll probably make more then my
share.  Which way we heading when we leave Hartford? I'm lost
up this way when you get off I95."

"Let's double check the roadmaps after we eat. I want to drive
through the mountains. I usually take the Northway when I drive
to Vermont. Sometimes I drop down on 9N off of I87 and catch the
ferry across the lake to Burlington and then on in too Montpelier."

"You know more about it then I do so lead on, I'm game if you are."

We had gotten up a little late so breakfast was a little more hurried
then we would have wished it were.  Finishing up, I dropped $25
on the table as we left.  Walking back to the front desk, I saw they
had brought the Blazer up for us and it had been washed.

"Hey Kev, they washed the Blazer last night or this morning.  Did
you tell them to have it done?"

"No, but it's okay. You want to make sure all of our luggage is in
while I finish at the front desk?"

"Sure, see you there."

I watched Shawn for a second marveling at how fresh he seemed
and the athletic grace in his movements.  He was like a golden cat
moving with assurance in every step, brimming with energy.

"I hope your breakfast was satisfactory Mr. Karper, I have your
reservations at the Holiday Inn as you requested.  I used your Visa
Debit information for confirmation; I hope that was all right.  I
took the liberty of checking on our house in Lake George and they
can accommodate you if you wish at a slightly lesser rate."

"Marriott's are nice and I usually stay in one. I'm sorry but I'm
used to the Holiday Inn in Lake George. Thanks anyway."

"My pleasure Mr. Karper, another time maybe. Have a safe trip
and thanks for staying with us."

Shawn was sitting in the passenger seat as I slid behind the wheel.
It was starting to warm up and he had removed his T-shirt, his
smooth unblemished golden chest rising and falling as he breathed
in deep lung filling draughts.  I had never seen anyone so self
confident and assured as he was in his capabilities and
appearance.  His brown eyes glittered as he watched me get into
the truck.

"You keep that up and we won't get out of the motel parking lot."

He just sat there with an impish smile playing at the corners of his
mouth.  I stripped my shirt off throwing it in the back seat as I put
the Blazer in gear.

"That's better then the scenery around here Kev."

Shawn chuckled as I tooled out of the parking lot heading for I91
North for Springfield.  I knew that he was only wearing a pair of
athletic shorts; we both had left our jockeys off.  I frankly prefer
not driving with under-clothes; it's a lot more comfortable.  After a
few miles jockeys start bunching up and the elastic bands in the leg
opening will cut off circulation. Boxers do much the same thing so
they are not much better.

The driving time from Hartford to Springfield where I wanted to
connect with I90 was about 3 hrs. US 6 through Hartford were
only a few blocks from the motel and then Exit 51 would swing us
up on I91. The weather was warm but not hot so we drove with the
windows open. Shawn unsnapped his shorts and unzipped
revealing his almost chocolate brown pubic hair with the
tantalizing dark streak from his navel.  He stretched his legs out
and leaned his head on the back of the seat with his eyes closed and
his arm resting on the door window with his left thumb hooked in
the waistband of his loosened shorts.  I was still fascinated by the
beauty of his broad sculpted chest rising and falling as he
breathed.  The thickness of his cock was clearly defined lying
alongside his inner thigh.  The light brown hair on his calves and
upper thighs enhanced the perfect symmetry of his body.

"Shawn. If you drift off, I'll wake you when we reach I90. You can
take over then if you want until we reach I87 in New York or you
can drive on into Lake George.  That's about 3hrs each in driving
time."

"If its okay with you, I'll drive as far as 87 and then you can take it
on into Lake George. You know more about it then I do.  Why
don't you unsnap your shorts and get comfortable?  Here, let me do
it, you keep both hands on the wheel."

I sucked in my gut as Shawn unsnapped my shorts and slowly
pulled my zipper down.  He scooted a little closer and tangled his
fingers in the thick blond pubic hair raking his fingers back and
forth across the base of my cock. I could feel it thickening and
stretching down along my inner thigh.  He kept playing with the
base of my cock and pulling gently on the hairs surrounding it.
Moving almost hip to hip he ran his hand up over my chest and
tickled my tits that were instantly hard at his touch.  He wasn't
being sexual just playing with me and he knew how it excited me.

I glanced down at his crotch and his cock was extended with the
head peeking from under the leg of his shorts.  He laid his head on
my shoulder and I was thankful for the darkened windows but
then I thought, "what the hell, why not?"  His head rested on my
shoulder with his left arm around my shoulders his other hand
slowly moving up and down my chest following the lines of each
muscle but always ending at the base of my aching cock.  I drove
enjoying the feeling of being loved or at least I thought it was love,
hoped it was.

"You don't know just how beautiful your body is do you Kev? Do
you really know how you feel to me lying in my arms?  Your skin
feels like smooth satin when I run my hands over you. Every
muscle is solid and thick but not bulging. The softness of the hair
in your crotch is like touching silk thread."

"Do you always get this sexy when someone can't respond Shawn?
I'm driving and you're making me hot as hell."

"No I don't Kev, I've never had sex in a car before you. I like feeling
you.  Just looking at you turns me on and no one has ever done
that. "

"Well, what you are doing right now has me turned on and this is
the wrong time and place and doesn't give me much of a chance to
tell you how I feel."

I flipped the right turn signal on, his head still on my shoulder.
Exit 51 was just ahead and he lay there as I swung the Blazer up
on 91 north setting the cruise control at 65.  Shawn's right hand
rested in my lap his fingers gently moving in the hair at the base of
my still hard cock.  I flipped the steering wheel column up and held
it loosely in my hands as the Blazer accelerated.  Shawn lifted his
head and sat quietly for a moment or so and in the mirror I could
see he was thinking as he removed his hand from my lap and slid
back a little.

"Kevin, how do you feel about me? Not the body part but how do
you feel about me, who I am? Do you like me or just the sex?"

We were quickly leaving the industrial area of Hartford into the
suburbs.  Rows of look alike houses sped by as I was trying to
understand what Shawn had just asked me. My cock had softened
but was still half hard and I could see he was the same way.  Sex
had been good as far as we had gone but I had a feeling there was
more then that in what he was asking.  I thought back to earlier in
the morning when we had sex and some of the things he had said
about wanting to give me something besides what was in his nuts.
He wanted to feel me inside and out.  I was still hooked on the big
BUT.   I was having a hard time getting that block out of the way
but he was chipping away at it.

"Damn Shawn, you put a guy on the spot.  How I feel about you is a
big question and not easily answered.  You have a great body, the
best I have ever seen or been in bed with.  You know how to make
love and you make me feel good. This morning you had me crying
like a baby and no one has done that since my grandfather died.
Why was I crying? I felt loved, wanted for the first time since he
died.  You made me feel needed and that made me feel you were
sincere in your feelings and not just saying things to make me feel
good.   I like you for you and the way you talk and look at me.  I like
your honesty and the straightforward way you talk.  I don't know
much about you other then you are from Kentucky, going to college
and worked in a circus but I want to learn more. That's why I
asked you to stay with me. "

"I feel pretty much the same way Kev.   I like being with you and
right now I feel like we have been looking for each other.  I haven't
been with many men but most of them made me feel like they had
to see if they could conquer me. Sometimes I wish I didn't have
such a body that everyone wanted it and not me.  When you asked
me to fuck you last night, I didn't even think about using a condom
I just wanted you like I have never wanted anyone else.  Damned
stupid I know but I needed you, wanted you and nothing else
seemed to matter right then.  That's the first thing most of the guys
I have been with want but not you, you wanted me to take you."

"You're right about that but like you said, nothing seemed to
matter right then.  There have only been a couple of guys that I
have done that with and always with a condom.  You don't have
anything to worry about Shawn. I have tested negative when I did
have sex that way even with condoms. We can get tested in Boston
if you want."

"No need for that. I tested negative before vacation and you said
your clean, that's good enough for me. How much further before
we reach Springfield?"

"Just about another hour and then you can take over if you want."

Shawn scooted back across the seat and then he lowered his body
laying his head in my lap and with his free hand he reached inside
my shorts and shifted my soft cock so the head was at his lips. I
took a deep breath feeling his warm breath on the exposed head
and it quickly hardened lengthening and sliding inside his mouth.
His tongue licked the underside and I gasped at the sensations.

"Oh Shawn!!!!"

He didn't move his head as my cock slid deep inside his mouth and
he sucked gently using his tongue creating fantastic sensations
that surged through my nuts and spread upwards from my groin
through the nerves in my body setting them on fire.  His lips
worked my foreskin backwards and forwards slowly as his tongue
continued its soft washing over and under twisting and licking my
blood engorged cock-head.  My crotch felt like there was an intense
fire as my nuts drew up sending their cream up the shaft he
continued to softly, gently suck letting the cream flow in surging
streams filling his mouth.  I felt his chest expand in one deep
inhalation as he drove down on my cock as far as he could his lips
draining every molten drop as he withdrew.   I didn't realize I had
been holding my breath and gripping the wheel until my cock
started to soften and he let it slip slowly from his lips.  I exhaled in
a long slow sigh; "Jesus Christ Shawn" was all I could utter.

He didn't say anything except lay there with his head in my lap the
head of my cock at his lips.   A sign slipped by telling me
Springfield was 25 more miles but I could tell Shawn had slipped
off as he lay there sleeping like a baby that had just suckled his
mother.

I knew I had a lot to learn about him but then he had just as much
to learn as I did.  I didn't wake him as we reached Springfield and
the intersection with I90 and the second leg of the trip.  I lay my
hand on his chest feeling the steady rhythm of his beating heart
and breathing, his silken skin warm and soft.   He moved just a
little but continued lying with his head in my lap. The Blazer was
almost on automatic as it resumed after I had slowed for the
curves and entry onto 90.   It had gotten a little warmer but still
not enough for the a/c to be needed. I had adjusted his window
upwards about 3/4 of the way in case some nosy driver slipped up
my right side again thanking Chevrolet for the darkened windows.

* * * * * *

I let the Blazer cruise at 70 since the highway was fairly empty
and I hadn't seen any state police to worry about.  Didn't mean
they weren't around but it seemed pretty safe since I was only 5
over the limit.  My thoughts were revolving around my feelings for
Shawn and his lying in my lap didn't help all that much.  I wanted
to believe everything he had been saying to me in the worst way. My
heart was being pulled too him but my head was telling me not to
jump off the deep end again, twice was enough.  I knew I could fall
for him but caution said go slow.  That big BUT was always there
since the last one played me for a sucker.

We crossed the NY state line, the signs indicating that the Taconic
State Parkway was just a few miles.  I shook Shawn's shoulder
gently rousing him.

"Hey sleepy head, getting a little hungry?"

"Damn Kev, why did you let me sleep so long? I was supposed to
relieve you in Springfield wasn't I?"

"Well you fell asleep and it felt kind of good having you lay in my
lap like you were so I let you sleep. The truck almost drives its self,
I just steer it.  Are you hungry? We can get off the interstate at the
Taconic interchange for something if you are, I am."

"We better get straightened up first.  When did we cross into New
York?"

"About half an hour ago. You can take over after we get something
to eat and then maybe I can get a cat nap while you drive."

"If that's all you want, okay by me." There was that twinkle in his
eye that made him look like a little boy.

I had the Blazer fueled while we had lunch. I remembered
Shawn's advice about eating and ordered a tuna fish salad
sandwich plain with a side of cottage cheese and he ordered the
same except on wheat bread plain while mine was toasted. We both
drank ice tea without sugar just a wedge of lemon.  I had to admit
it was better then a greasy hamburger with French-fries.

Shawn paid for the fuel and we were on the road again in short
order.  I was beginning to think he enjoyed traveling half naked
since he stripped his shirt off before getting in and I did the same.
I loved watching him pull a shirt over his head his muscles rippling
with every movement.   Even as he drove his body muscles seemed
to flow with every movement of his arms.   He maneuvered the
truck back onto the interstate and set the cruise control at 70
flipping the steering column up when he reached cruising speed.

I followed his earlier example and opened my shorts and unzipped
the fly letting the flaps lay back.  I felt a little like teasing him so I
lay my head on the back of the seat and closed my eyes.  After a few
minutes I felt his arm slide behind my back at my waist and in one
powerful motion he pulled me closer to him.  I turned my face to
his and his lips touched mine his tongue flicking out briefly.  I
leaned in and nibbled on his ear lobe kissing his neck as I did and I
nuzzled my head under his jaw feeling him pulling me tighter.

"Kev, are you planning on using the full three weeks before we get
to Boston? We really haven't talked about it. I've still got to find a
place before school starts and get registered."

I was surprised for a moment and then realized we hadn't talked
about what we were going to do at all.  I had slipped into the old
habit of assuming and not including him.  I moved away slightly
and reached for the snap on his shorts opening them and sliding
his zipper down ran my hand over his hard muscled stomach.

"I have thought about it some Shawn but I was sort of scared you
might get mad at me if I told you what I've been thinking."

"Why would I get mad at you?"

"Because, if I tried to help you that stubborn pride of yours will get
in the way.  I can help you in Boston if you'll let me but I won't if
it's going to make you mad at me or you don't want me too."

"How am I going to get mad at you while you're rubbing me like
that getting me all hot and horny?"

"Am I doing that to you? What do you think you did too me earlier,
you didn't think I was going to let you get away with it did you?"

I felt his cock hardening and I was just as horny. My cock was
throbbing and I slid my shorts down just a little pulling it out so it
was free from being confined in my shorts.  Sliding my hand inside
his shorts, he lifted is hips and I pushed his shorts down pulling
his thick hard cock free.  I stroked it a few times and he sucked in
his breath, his eyes pleading with me.  I slowly lowered my head
opening my mouth as his straining cock reached towards my lips
and licked the head cleaning the clear drop of pre-cum that had
started oozing out of his slit.  Shawn groaned deep in his chest and
lifted his hips.

"Yesssssssss Kev, suck it for me."

I took him in as far as I could and feeling his muscles tighten, I
tightened my lips around his thick girth sucking steadily in short
quick motions, he was to hot for me to play with him.  His nuts
tightened as his cock hardened suddenly gushing great streaming
gobs of his cream with such force I almost choked.  He drove his
hips up forcing more of his cock into my mouth as he moaned
loudly. "


"Drain it Kev, suck it dry baby," he moaned huskily and I sucked
every drop swallowing quickly.  His body odor was musky with his
sweat and I felt a little dizzy from the ecstatic feelings that were
coursing through me as I drained his nuts.  As his cock started
softening, I stripped the last drops with my lips as I withdrew.
Shawn exhaled in a long slow sigh his hand lying on my head.

"You were hotter then I thought. I didn't get much chance to play
with you like you did me."

"Then don't get me that hot if you want to play. I like being played
with."

"What were we talking about before you got so horny? Oh, yes the
trip and Boston.  Okay, here goes. My company has some influence
in Boston; we trade with several dealerships direct wholesale.  I
had thought we might call Harrison in the morning and see if he
couldn't find a reasonable apartment if you want me too."

"You can do that Kev? You think this Harrison guy would be able
to find a place for us."

I scooted closer and reaching over him I asked him to lift his hips
and pulled his shorts back up a little but not enough I couldn't see
his manhood laying on his thick brown hair.

"Now is when you might get mad at me Shawn. I could do it
without Harrison if you would let me.  The problem, if there is one,
is my money.  You made it pretty clear that you weren't a bum and
wanted to pay your share of this trip.  That's okay with me except it
really is not necessary. I'm not trying to impress you or anything
like that but dammit it, I'm going to spend it anyway so why not
when I enjoy doing it with someone I like? I'm not asking you for
any obligation, I just want us to enjoy being with each other and
damn the money. If I can help you out, I want too.  Is that so bad?"

"No, not when you put it that way. I appreciate the offer. I just
didn't want you thinking I was using you because of your money.
I'm not made that way Kev.  Money is nice and I hope to have some
one-day after college. "

For the rest of the trip, we talked about each other and mostly
about what Shawn wanted for the future. He was studying
Physical Education and hoped to become a wrestling coach after
he graduated. Except for his scholarship, he was almost working
his way through college. Money he made during the summers and
small menial jobs he found in Boston was his only income.  He
could have asked for a student loan to help him out but his pride in
making it on his own was too strong for that.  The big thing was he
wanted to show his Dad he could make it on his own and wouldn't
have to live on a dirt farm for the rest of his life.  I was falling more
in love with him as we drove and I listened but putting my two-
cents in once in awhile.  We didn't realize how much we had been
talking about ourselves, mostly about Shawn, until Albany slipped
by and it was less then an hour before we reached Exit 21 and
Lake George.

"You want me to take over or do you feel like driving on into Lake
George?  It's not that far."

"I'll take it on in unless you want to drive.  It makes a trip go by
much faster when you have something to talk about and someone
to talk with.  You know Kev; we have been talking mostly about
what I want and me.  What do you want, ever thought about it?"

"What do I want?  In a nutshell, someone that wants to build a life
with me because of me.  I want someone that won't let money
become the focal point of our being together.  I've always had
anything I wanted for the most part.  I try and avoid money coming
up when I meet someone but it always does sooner or later.   It's
kind of hard avoiding it and then things just seem to change. It
could be partly my fault though.  Take meeting you Shawn. We
could live together on what I have but I know it wouldn't work
with you.  Most guys I could buy for a short while and then it's over
until someone else comes along.  I was stuck twice and Harrison
had a fit bailing me out."

"He had a fit? I thought it's your money?"

"It is but he pissed and moaned about me going to bed with
everyone but him.  That's not really true; I don't go to be with just
anyone but a couple of guys really got next to me.  Money does not
buy happiness Shawn only for a little while."

"I can see that Kev."

He pulled me a little closer and we rode the rest of the way into
Lake George in silence.  The warmth of his body and the strength
in his arm made me feel secure and all I could think of was just
being with him.  The big BUT was slowly slipping into the back of
my mind.  He had not really answered my offer except to say he
appreciated it.  I wanted to help but I wasn't going too push it.

Lake George was still bustling with people and cars. Shawn
spotted the Holiday Inn Turf and drove up the drive under the
portico.  We had stopped just off the exit and straightened our
clothing at least what we wearing.  Two young valets's opened the
doors with the usual greeting and unloaded our luggage. One of the
boys looked at Shawn's duffel bag when he pulled it out of the back
of the truck.  I wondered what he was thinking but we went inside
together while they followed.  A desk clerk was waiting and again
another greeting.

"I think you have a reservation for Karper? It was made this
morning early."

She clicked on a few computer keys before confirming it.  "We have
you in a suite on the second floor overlooking the lake Mr. Karper.
Would you complete the registration card please? Some of our
guests are spending more time then they had indicated so we were
rather limited when your request came in.  How long will you be
staying with us or do you know?"

"Right now we are planning on two or three days, maybe longer."

"Fine sir. You are in 202. I think you will find it satisfactory, the
view is very nice."

She handed one key card to the valet and the other to me.  We
followed him as he led us through the atrium to the elevators.
Shawn tipped him after he unloaded the luggage in the bedroom
and asked if there would be anything else.

The sitting room of the suite was almost open-air with one wall
complete glass leading out onto a small balcony that contained two
lawn chairs with small tables. The lake was in full view from the
balcony and you could see the steamboats that toured the lake. A
small wet bar full stocked was on one wall with the usual
furnishings.  The bedroom was furnished with a king size bed
again sitting up on a dais against one wall. A full portrait of the
Lac Du Saint Sacrement was over the bed.  Instead of rods for
hanging clothing, there were two large wardrobes with overstuffed
chairs making up the remainder of the furnishings. The bath was
all tile, mirrors and chrome with a separate shower in addition to a
large inset Jacuzzi whirlpool tub.  Not a luxurious suite but very
tastefully furnished.

Shawn went back into the sitting room getting him a Coors beer
from the refrigerator.

"You want a beer Kev? Plenty here."

He hadn't said anything except when he tipped the valet. I took the
beer from his hand and he walked out on the balcony standing at
the railing.  I wasn't sure what was going through his mind but I
followed him.

"Something wrong Shawn?"  I asked but he didn't answer, he just
stood there looking out over the village and the lake.

"Would you want to go to bed Kevin?"  He asked without looking
at me.

"Not unless that's what you want Shawn."

He turned and looked into my eyes, I could see the emotions he
was feeling as he pulled me against him brushing my lips with his.

"I'm glad you said that Kevin, I really am.  I've never said this to
any man before and please don't think it's phony.  I'm in love with
you and I don't know how we are going to work it out. We are so
different in some ways but we both want the same thing and I want
you with me.  Can we work it out together Kevin?"

When I heard Shawn say that, the big BUT disappeared.  I had
wanted to hear it; I needed to hear it from him.  This time it would
work because we wanted each other and not just for sex.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at him.

"You don't know how much I wanted to hear you say that.  I
started falling in love with you when you got into the truck in DC.
It will work out Shawn believe me it will. Forget everything except
each other."

He took my face in his hands and kissed me deeply for all too see if
they wished.  I wanted everyone to know I loved him and I felt
warmth flowing over us. No arousal, nothing but the deep feeling of
contentment as he kissed me and I responded pressing close.

We stood there holding each other; Lake George was the
beginning for both of us.
