Zac is a canoe expedition guide, something he started doing when he was in
high school and continued throughout his university years.  He has just
graduated from university, but he keeps guiding because it makes the summer
interesting.  He really enjoys the people he guides as much as he loves
being deep in the wilderness which God created for people to use and enjoy.
The extra cash doesn't hurt either.

He is 28 years old, and a university graduate in the field of Environmental
Sciences with a fresh new Doctorate.  He is living in his own apartment in
the city, and will begin lecturing in the fall at the university.  It's a
split position with half his time lecturing, and the other half completing
research in the lab. He had the best of both worlds by protecting the
environment and being able to use it.

He is a young looking 28 year old, 5'10", 165 lbs light brown hair which he
likes to wear in a spike style.  His grey eyes sparkle with intelligence,
mischievousness, and the love for life.  He has a natural olive colour to
his skin which goes even darker by the end of the summer.  Zac's moustache
and beard are not heavy, but he likes to keep them trimmed with the stubble
look sported by so many men these days.  He has some hairs around his
areoles which stand out on his defined chest; Zac isn't overly muscular,
just very solid from workouts and paddling a canoe all summer.  His abdomen
is flat and sports a thin line of hair from the belly button to the top of
his cargo shorts.  Zac has a nice little package which fills out his cargo
shorts.  Zac had put up a sign at the GLBT Centre at the university
advertising his guiding trips, and some extra business had come his way.
The latest trip, which is planned to start today, is for three guys who
emailed their booking.  They had also said within their messages their
group had not been out camping overnight before. After Zac had asked, they
had sent him copies of their canoeing course certificates from the Parks
and Recreation Department in the city.  Zac's guiding trips included all
the necessary equipment for the expedition; the participants only have to
bring their personal items such as clothing and toiletries.

Zac had all the equipment spread on the ground, double checking it when a
new SUV pulled up and parked next to the little warehouse he used as his
base of operations.  Three very good looking guys in their early or
mid-twenties got out and walked towards Zac.  None of them had shirts on
and Zac's eyes were already enjoying looking at their bodies.  "There are
three, maybe one is single" thought Zac to himself.

"Are you Zac, our guide?" the tall blonde asked.

"Yes I am" he replied.

"I'm Nick.  That over there is my brother Jon" he said as he pointed at the
tallest of the three men.  "And this is Aiden, my boyfriend."  They all
shook hands enthusiastically.

Nick is naturally a light blonde with longer hair.  He stood about 5'10",
175 lbs, and had a good firm body.  His blue eyes were very clear and they
sparkled when he smiled. Other than his light treasure trail and underarm
hair, he was naturally smooth.  Nick was wearing plaid coloured board
shorts and deck style running shoes.

Aiden is about 5'11", 180 lbs, and just as muscular as his two buddies.  He
was slimmer than the other two and smooth everywhere on his body where Zac
could see, including his legs.  He was a dirty blonde who also had his hair
cut shorter on the sides and longer on the top.  His blue eyes were alive
with excitement when he looked at Nick.  He was wearing brightly coloured
board shorts which drew a person's gaze to them, as well as speculation of
the contents within.

Jon is a darker blonde with a short haircut of 6'2", 200 lbs.  He had
beautiful grey eyes.  His smile was warm and sensual, lighting up his
entire face when it was present.  Jon was wearing board shorts as well,
which hung low his narrow hips.  Jon had a light covering of blond hairs
across his chest which formed a "V" down and disappearing into his shorts.
His shorts were riding so low the top of his groin pubic hair showed at
times when he moved.  His legs were long and muscular, joining at the hips
as if they were an arrow pointing to the bulge in Jon's board shorts.  He
definitely got Zac's attention.

"Nick, it's nice to meet you, after all we never got a chance to talk other
than through emails" stated Zac.

"It's great to finally talk with you too Zac.  Just so you know Zac, we've
all been hanging together since we were babies. Our parents were best
friends and we were raised together" said Nick.

Aiden continued the story. "We went to school together, played soccer and
baseball together on the same teams and even graduated at the same time.
We're still at university together and have finished our bachelor's
degrees, now moving on for our Masters."

Zac asked "So what made you guys want to come canoeing?  One of your emails
said you had never done it before."

"Well, we saw the sign at the GLBT Center at the University and thought we
would give our dream a try" started Nick.

"We have stayed in provincial and private campsites before but never in the
real wilderness" replied Aiden.

"We have talked about doing like this many times and the opportunity
presented itself, so we jumped at it" Jon said.

"That's great, so you have some basic camping experience.  That makes me
feel better" replied Zac.  "I have been nervous about taking you guys out
on the trip without some fundamental camping skills."

Jon spoke up. "I'm glad we could reassure you. I have been looking forward
to this, now even more" as his eyes checked out Zac.

"You'll really enjoy this trip.  The river is fantastic right now and the
weather for the next few days is supposed to be real sunny and hot. I have
planned the route through some of the best scenery, best fishing, and
nicest camping spots so you guys have a great experience in the wilds"
explained Zac.

"That sounds fantastic" said Nick. "What do we need to do to get started?"

"Let get this equipment sorted out and you guys need to get your personal
effects into the waterproof containers" Zac instructed.

Under Zac's direction, the four men sorted out the tents and cooking
equipment, dividing it for each canoe.  The food was dispersed into
waterproof containers and one cooler as well.  The ice in the cooler would
only last for the first 2-3 days of the trip, but it could be replenished
at a portage about the midpoint of the route where a small supply store had
been set up. The supply store was actually a small rental cabin office for
a dozen rustic but cute cabins, used by wealthy tourists as part of a
trophy fishing package.  These people usually flew in on a float plane or
traveled the river on a luxury motor boat.

Zac also grabbed some fishing rods and tackle, putting it in the canoes.
He watched over the guys packed their clothing items into the waterproof
containers.  Soon everything was packed into the canoes, and they moved the
canoes onto the beach.

"So have you guys discussed who is going to be canoe partners" asked Zac.

"Aiden and I are a team and you get stuck with the little brother" said
Nick.  He made a gesture with his finger and thumb approximately two inches
apart, and added "My real little, little brother."

 "Stop talking about yourself" Jon quipped and then stuck his tongue out
him.

Zac paused, and then replied "From the indications of his board shorts, you
may not be accurate about Jon. On the other hand, Aiden's shorts seem to
concave....."

Aiden stuck his tongue out at Zac while Jon made a fist and swung it
forward to bump it with Zac's.

"You are going to be a great canoe partner Zac" said Jon.

"Ok, you're in the bow, and we will trade off during the day Jon" said Zac.
"This leg of the trip is short today.  It will take us about 6 hours to get
to the falls, where we will spend the first night."

Aiden asked "Are there going to be a lot of other canoeists out there
besides us?"

"During the first part of the month the place was quite busy, but not so
many now as it is the end of July." replied Zac.

"Will we get to try fishing along the route?" asked Jon.  "None of us have
ever done it and it looks cool."

"Yes, we should be able to catch a fresh supper each night if you want and
are lucky" answered Zac. "Last thing before we launch.  There's a rope
attached to an eyelet on the bow and the stern, let them drag in the water
when we get out there."

"What are they for?" asked Nick.

"They drag behind the canoe and are sort of like a safety line.  If you
fall or get thrown out of the canoe, it creates drag so it won't get far.
They also give you a chance to grab it if you are in the water and pull the
canoe towards you" explained Zac.

"They didn't tell us that in canoe lessons Zac" said Aiden.

"Well, it's not high tech and sort of a more traditional way to canoe" he
answered.  "Let's launch the canoes and head out guys."

They headed out and paddled along the shore of the bay, into the main part
of the river. It is located deep in the Canadian Shield, and is fairly
rough in terrain.  It is a large and slow moving body of water most of the
time, but there a few sets of rapids along its length. The river bank
alternates between densely packed spruce trees and large areas of exposed
slabs of granite rock hundreds of feet long. Some of the huge slabs of rock
show the marks which were scraped into them as the glaciers moved and
ground across them.  While some of the granite was smooth, some of looked
as if someone had dragged their fingers over wet cement, leaving long
parallel grooves.  It is awe inspiring to understand the glacial process
causing the marks so Zac explained it to the group.

The day was warm as they gently glided along the river.  The fresh air they
were breathing had a hint of natural pine mixed with wild flowers, and Nick
was thinking this must be as close a person could be to heaven while still
being alive.

Aiden was listening to the cries of a bald eagle, looking up, trying to
spot it.  He saw the majestic bird gliding on the waves of air high above
them in a large circle, and occasionally flapping its wings to maintain
control.  He got Nicks attention and pointed so he could watch it too.

"It's so beautiful to watch it fly" commented Aiden.

"It makes flying look so easy" said Nick.

"That's a male up there" commented Zac.  "It's a good sign or omen
according to the old ways to have a bald eagle watching over you like this,
and it means a safe trip for us.  The eagle is a very strong totem to the
locals, and they are a powerful good spirit to protect people. "

"That's cool" said Jon.

"You will see something really cool in a couple of hours.  There are some
wall paintings high on the rock face looking over the river which people
painted hundreds of years ago" said Zac.

Jon spoke up "I would like to see that."  Both Nick and Aiden agreed with
him.  They continued their paddling in silence, the men looking all over at
the beauty around them.

Zac explained the historical significance of this canoe route to the three
visitors. "At one time in history, this was the route used by the "courier
des bois" or the "Runner of the Woods" who were the early fur traders.
These men traveled throughout the north in oversized canoes, meeting and
trading with the members of the First Nations.  They traded trinkets,
knives and some other goods for the furs. Basically, the courier des bois
were paying pennies for each fur which was worth hundreds of dollars as a
finished product. They transported the furs to trading posts and sold them
to one of the companies who had been granted the rights to establish a post
by the Crown.  The company eventually transported the furs overseas and
sold them in Europe. The Europeans used the furs for such things as formal
Top Hats worn by such people as Charles Dickens.  Today, some of the people
still rely on the income from trapping for their livelihoods, except now
the furs are run down the river in motor boats and sold to different
companies.  We are traveling the route used for the past 300 years by the
explorers."

"Pretty cool" said Jon.  Aiden and nick agreed with him.

Zac had been watching Jon's back as he was paddling.  His muscles rippled
as he dipped the paddle into the water, leaning on it as he pulled the
paddle along the side of the canoe. He could see the muscle tighten and
bulge under Jon's skin, relaxing after the stroke had been completed.  He
liked watching Jon's muscles and skin he paddled. "He's so cute" Zac
thought to himself.

He had the men kneeling in the canoe for both increased stability and
balance, especially important since Zac considered the three men to be
novices. This position also gave them more efficiency and strength to their
strokes.  Jon's ass was wedged against the little seat in the bow.  The
materials of his board shorts were tight, detailing the shape of the
muscular mounds of flesh beneath them.  The board shorts had ridden lower
exposing the tops of each white ass cheek, clearly showing tan line.  It's
a nice sight for Zac to look at, and fantasize about.

Jon found himself really enjoying the trip, and talking with Zac along the
route.  He was feeling comfortable talking with Zac, and he even was
beginning to feel comfortable when there was silence between them.  He had
noticed Zac when they first pulled up today.  Jon had thought "What a body
on that man."

Finally, Jon got up the nerve to ask the big question, "So Zack, do you
have a boyfriend?"

"No.  I haven't been in a relationship with anyone for a couple of years.
It was too hard to look or do the dating thing while I was studying for my
Doctorate" he replied.  "What about you Jon? Got a boyfriend back home?"

"No.  I have been without one just about as long as you. In all
seriousness, I've been looking for a stable man and a relationship.  Not
just a quick fuck.  That has narrowed the field quite a bit in the gay
community." answered Jon.  "You're a Doctorate?  In what discipline?"

"Environmental studies" answered Zac.  "What Master's program are you guys
going into?"

"The three of us graduated with undergraduate engineering degrees.  Those
two are moving over to civil for their masters, and I was accepted to
environmental engineering" Jon said.

Nick and Aiden had been paddling along the calm river behind Zac and Jon's
canoe.  They were listening to the conversation take place in the other
canoe.

"Will you two be bumping into each other at the university in the fall?"
asked Aiden.

"It could be possible because we will be in the same buildings at times"
replied Zac.  "I'll be lecturing in the classrooms and working in the labs
starting in the fall."

"I would like it if we did Zac" Jon commented.

Zac replied a little too quickly "I'm beginning to think the same thing
Jon."  Then he blushed at how he had responded like a youngster.  Silence
returned to the four men.

Jon was thinking about how Zac seemed pretty easy to be with.  He was
smart, but not overbearing or obnoxious.  He had a great sense of humour,
as well as being easy to talk with.  Jon thought to himself "I would allow
Zac to eat all the crackers he ever wanted in bed, if I ever got him in
there with me. I would sure never kick him out of bed!"

Aiden and Nick had been talking quietly about how hot they thought Zac was,
and how well he and Jon seemed to be getting along.  Unless they were
misinterpreting the signals, Jon looked as interested in Zac, as Zac was
becoming in Jon.

"They seem to be getting along fairly well" Nick whispered to Aiden.

"Sounds and looks like it" replied Aiden.  "I didn't realize Zac was a
Doctorate in part of the field Jon wants to go into.  That's quite the
coincidence."

Nick replied with "Yes, it's quite the coincidence.  Jon's also lucky;
Zac's smart and cute."

They had paddled for a couple of hours when Zac had them pull over for a
break.  After they got out of the canoes and pulled them onto the shore,
Zac said "You guys need to watch the sun reflecting off the water.  It will
burn you to a crisp if you're not careful so maybe you guys want to put
shirts on for a while, or at least lots of sun block."

"We're used to being out under the hot sun, so it's not so bad for us" said
Nick

"Well it's your choice, but we better drink lots of water too, this sun and
heat burns the fluid out of you" suggested Zac.

The guys drank some water as well as some electrolyte replacement. Zac dug
some trail mix out of one of the waterproof tubs and passed it around for
every to eat.  The guys were sprawled comfortably in the shade of the
spruce trees and enjoying the break.  After about 20 minutes of rest and
re-hydration, Zac thought it was time to get back out on the water again.

They got their canoes moving forward.  They had all changed positions and
now Zac was in the bow paddling with Jon in the back paddling and steering.
Aiden was now in the bow with Nick in the Stern.

The day was beautiful with just a light breeze, just enough to keep the
mosquitoes away from their bodies.  At times, the four men chatted while
paddling.  At other times, they went back to silence as they made their way
along the river.  They all really appreciated the wonder of nature around
them as they paddled.  They slowed down and drifted a few times as they
passed wildlife on the shore.

They saw a large bull moose standing in the water up to his chest eating
plants, amazed at the rack on his head was so big.  The animal looked
graceful as he dipped his head into the water to grab more plants in his
mouth for eating.  As they passed, the moose never stopped chewing, but he
did follow the canoes with his head, watching them for any threat.

"That animal is huge" stated Jon.

"He is a little bigger than average Jon.  He probably weighs about 1000
lbs, and the rack on his head would be around 90-100 lbs" explained Zac.
"Could you imagine having to carry that weight around on your head?"

"Wow.  No wonder their neck muscles are so big" exclaimed Aiden.  "Is it
true they grow a net set every year?"

"Yes, they lose them after rutting season and they start growing again
shortly thereafter" answered Zac.

"They have a rutting season?  Nick is rutting on Aiden all year round.  He
would never survive having it based on a season" commented Jon.  Both Nick
and Aiden stuck their tongues out at Jon.  Zac started to laugh.

They stopped for a quick lunch after a couple of hours.  Zac had
sandwiches, cut vegetables as well as fruit for them to eat.  He also
encouraged them to drink lots of fluids.  After a half hour, they started
out again.

As they came around a slow, lazy curve in the river, Zac directed them to
canoe over to the base of a set of rock outcroppings.  The walls were
straight up until they reached the outcropping a couple of hundred feet
above them.

Zac pointed to a couple of spots on the vertical rock wall blow the lowest
outcropping.  "Hundreds of years ago, someone or maybe more than one person
drew pictures on the rock face.  The one on the right shows three men
represented by stick figures who appear to be hunting a bull and cow moose.
They are using spears and are holding them above their heads as if they we
ready to throw them."

"How did the pictures get way up there?" asked Aiden.

"We're not exactly sure Aiden.  The river could have been higher back then
or most likely there was a plateau for them to stand on, but a large piece
of the rock face probably sheared off and fell into the river" answered
Zac.

"How did they make the red and black colours?" asked Nick.

"The use of berries, fats and ash to get the black and berries, fats and
some clay to get red according to the tribal elders" Zac explained. "The
drawing on the left shows two groups of men who appear to be working
together for a hunt.  They are on each side of what appears to be a herd of
buffalo in the centre.  At one time, there were many woodland buffalo
ranging through this area as well as woodland caribou, but they no longer
are here.  The men are carrying a variety of weapons, spears and bows with
arrows by the look of it.  It may be marking a spot where a successful hunt
had taken place or there may be other reasons."

The guys snapped a few pictures of the drawings, and then continued down
the river.

They continued in silence, scanning around the shores to spot any more
interesting things or wildlife.  They continued to travel down the river.
They had stopped once more for a stretch and a short rest before making
their final run for the campsite.

They arrived at the campsite about 5:00 pm; the sun was still very warm but
now much lower in the sky.  The large flat rocks they beached their canoes
on were very warm to their bare feet, and the camping spot was amazing.  It
was at a sharp bend in the river where the far side was a gentle turn, with
the side closest to the camp site had water large rocks where the water
rushed over them in a waterfall. Below the waterfall, the water sped along
and over partially submerged slabs of granite forming a chute and fast
rapids.

"This is incredible" Jon reflected.

"It sure is" agreed Nick.

"Let's get camp set up and you guys can try to fish. I have some lures for
you to use" said Zac.

"Can we sleep under the stars tonight?" asked Aiden.  "It's always
something I wanted to try."

"Sounds like a plan if you guys want to do that" replied Zac.

The men got their gear up to the soft duff sound just past the rocks and
set up camp.  Zac rigged a tree sling a safe distance from their site.

"What is that for" asked Jon.

Zac answered "Before we go to bed, we put the food supplies into the web
sling and pull it up and out of the reach of animals like bears, wolves,
coyotes, cougars, lynx or tigers."

"Tigers?  There are tigers out here?" Jon asked with alarm.  Although Nick
and Aiden hadn't said anything, their eyes and mouths were both wide open
with having heard Zac's words.

"Got ya" smirked Zac.  "No, there are no tigers out here but the rest of
them are.  They don't bother us much except if they smell something
interesting.  The bears are really about the only animal that will come
this close to the scent of man for free easy food."

"Wow" stated Aiden.

"You do this all the time.  Don't you ever think you need a gun to protect
yourself and your group?" Nick asked.

"Normally, you don't need a gun.  I have bear spray in case they come too
close but I rarely carry a gun.  If there is a problem with an animal, I
let one of the locals know and they track it until they can shoot it.  They
keep it and use all the parts for various things.  I have carried a high
powered rifle at times when an animal has been known to cause problems, but
it is pretty rare.  I do carry a handgun in case someone on the trip pisses
me off on the trip though."

"You're kidding right?" asked Jon with concern.

"Yes, I'm just pulling at your chain Jon.  I just use the handgun if
someone gets injured.  I finish them off so they are not in pain" replied
Zac with a straight face, a moment later he was smiling.

Jon was standing there with his hand on his dick.  "Don't pull my chain any
more Zac.  Pull this instead" he said with a big smile.

"That's subtle, real subtle Jon" laughed Nick.

"If that was a fish, we would through it back in the river for being too
small" said Zac.  "Maybe we better do it anyways, right guys?"  Aiden, Nick
and Zac grabbed Jon and dragged him to the river.  He made a fairly large
splash as he hit the water.

When he had surfaced, Zac said "Be careful Jon, the fish have been known to
bite a guy's penis because they thought it to be food."

Jon sprung out of the water with his hand cupping his crotch.  "You serious
or you fucking with my mind again" he asked Zac.

 "Go back in and find out Jon." Zac let out one of the most evil laughs he
could muster.  Aiden and Nick were almost rolling on the ground they were
laughing so hard.

"Assholes" mumbled Jon.  "And to think I was beginning to like you Zac."

Zac rummaged through one of the bags they had set on the ground and brought
out some towels and biodegradable soap.  "Would you guys like to wash up in
the river?  Over there it's shallow and the slabs of rock from the shore
extend out into the river so the water is warm."

They walked over to a shallow area, finding a rock which was above the
surface of the water and put their towels on it.  They were soon were soon
using the safe soap to wash their hair and bodies.  Zac surprised them by
moving towards the shore, pulling his shorts off, folding them and placing
them on the bank.  He turned around and realized the three guys had stopped
their washing to look at him walking back towards them naked.

"What?  You guys never seen a naked guy before?" asked Zac with a smile.
Zac now stood in his naked glory and although the groin area was a lighter
colour than the rest of his body, there were no defined tan lines.  His
cock was 4" long and hanging over a set of nice low slung balls.

After a pause, Jon answered him. "Not as good looking as you Zac."

Aiden commented next "And we didn't have to put bills into your G-string as
incentive for you take everything off."

"He folded his clothes Aiden.  You see how he did that" laughed Nick.
"Maybe I should upgrade to a boyfriend model that can do that?"

Aiden splashed him then stuck his tongue out at Nick.

"Thanks guys, I think.  You guys are all pretty hot looking too, Jon" he
replied.  Zak used his hands to splash water onto his hair and the rest of
his body.  He grabbed some soap and started to wash his hair.

Aiden and Nick moved towards the shore. Nick's cock flopped into the fresh
air as the shorts were pulled down. He had a nice blond bush over top of a
3-4 inch uncut dick.  He had some tan lines but it was obvious his groin
area had been exposed to the sun in recent time.

Aiden pulled his shorts off next, exposing a hairless uncut cock about 4
inches hanging over two large balls.  He was white around his groin, very
definite tan lines.  He folded his shorts and carefully placed them on the
bank.  He then stuck his tongue out at Nick again.

"You shave Aiden?" asked Zac.

"Started doing it when we were swimming in high school and just continued
it" replied Aiden as he reached and tugged at himself.

They joined Zac and started washing themselves in the shallows.  Aiden
looked over at Jon.  "Are you going to join us?"

"Can I do it later guys?" asked Jon with his hands in front of his crotch.

"Little brother needs help Zac.  I bet he got hard-on checking you out"
said Nick with a smile.

"Did not!" pleaded Jon, keeping his hands over his package.

Zac walked up to him and looked directly into Jon's eyes.  When Jon seemed
to relax a bit, he quickly reached and pulled Jon's shorts to the ground.
His 8" cock sprung up with its big purple head front and foremost.

"It's got a mind of its own" explained Jon.  "But it does have good taste,
in more ways than one."

"Zac, I've never had to accuse Jon of being subtle" Nick chuckled.

Zac laughed but continued to wash his hair.  Soon, the four of them were
finished and moved to the shore.  The naked men lay on the warm rocks to
dry in the sun.

"Anyone hungry" asked Zac.  The three men nodded their heads.  "Let's try
and catch supper."  They put their shorts back on and headed to the
campsite.

Before they went fishing, Zac showed them how to cut up some potatoes,
onions and carrots into tin foil pouches and bury them in the coals of the
fire.  Zac took them over to the equipment and outfitted them each with a
fishing rod, attaching a lure to each.  He showed them a couple of spots,
one just past the waterfall and one above it.  Zac showed them how to cast
the rod and slowly reel it back in.  He got a bite during the
demonstration, and was able to show they guys how to set the hook to reel
the fish in.  It was a four pound Northern Pike.  Zac got the hook out and
threw the fish onto the bank.  He gave the rod to Jon to use.

Aiden caught a nice one next, and they kept that one for dinner too.  It
was his first ever caught fish and he was dancing on the river bank like he
had won the lottery.  Soon, there was six large fish on the shore when Zac
told them they had enough.

Zac showed them the teeth in the fish, suggesting they could do a number on
someone's penis in the water. He explained what was locally called a
jackfish was distantly related to the shark.  The three men didn't know if
was telling the truth or pulling their chains again, but said nothing.  He
cleaned and filleted them on the shore.  At camp, Zac helped them to bread
and fry the fish.  They dug into the food with gusto.

"That was fantastic" stated Aiden as he leaned back on a log feeling full
and content.

"Let's get supper cleaned up and then its relaxation time" said Zac.

"Ok.  I am the one going to address the elephant in the campsite" said
Aiden.  "Were you yanking our chains about the fish thing?"

"Those fish actually have been known to pull ducklings and goslings down
under the water, swallowing them whole and they are a freshwater fish
related to saltwater sharks" explained Zac.  The three guys unconsciously
moved their hands over their crotches.

"Do you remember the size of the minnows in their guts when I was cleaning
them?" The guys nodded their heads.

"Well, no one here but Jon has any worries about their penis being mistaken
for a small worm or minnow.  It's a myth they go after live humans"
explained Zac as he made yanking motions with his right hand and arm.

Jon spoke immediately "Asshole.  Just when I thought I liked you Zac."
Zac, Aiden and Nick were all laughing hard while Jon was acting like a
pouting kid.

A short time later, the dishes and food had been cleaned up and stored
away.

Nick and Aiden got up, holding hands.  They told Zac and Jon they wanted to
go for a short walk along the shoreline, probably sit near the small
waterfall.

Zac was moving the food supplies into their containers, placing them near
the food cache.  He returned to the fire and sat.  Jon left, telling Zac he
was going to use the outhouse which was located towards the back of the
camping area.  Many of the regular camping sites had wooden outhouses built
to try and encourage the campers from leaving an uncontrolled minefield of
fecal matter piles throughout the sites.

After Jon had left, Zac got up with the idea to check on Aiden and Nick.
They had been gone for a while and he was worried about them being city
people in the wilderness.  He really didn't want them to get lost or hurt
out here.

Zac had been taught how to walk through the forest quietly by the elders,
and now it was something he did all the time quite naturally. Zac came
across them on the shore below the waterfalls, frantically making love.
Aiden was on his hands and knees, knees spread and ass up in the air.  The
scene before him was so hot, so he moved behind a couple of bushes to
prevent them from seeing him while he was spying. Zac clearly saw Aiden's
hard cock swinging in rhythm from each thrust Nick made into his ass.  He
also heard Nick grunting as the big cock was buried to its depth inside
him.

Aiden's head was hanging down for a few thrusts, and then hyper-extended
upwards with his mouth wide open and tongue licking around his lips in
absolute delight. His eyes were closed tightly, cutting out everything
which might distract him, allowing him to concentrate fully on the
sensations he was feeling. Aiden was concentrating on feeling the large,
hard cock as it was sliding through his asshole to a point deep inside him.
He could feel the warmth radiating from Nick's hard dick, and loved the
movement of the oversized head of the cock being pushed and pulled through
his tight ass.

Nick was feeling naturally high as he was plunging in and out of Aiden.  He
had wanted his boyfriend so bad all day, almost giving into his urges
earlier when everyone was naked while having a wash in the river.  He had
wanted to make love to Aiden so badly and he had found himself constantly
hard since their wash time.  He knew Aiden had been feeling the same way as
soon as he had pulled his shorts down to suck on that delicate, yet solid,
piece of meat.  It didn't take long to be buried deep within his boyfriend,
making love.  Nick also enjoyed it when Aiden topped him, but Aiden
preferred to bottom.  He didn't argue as long as they were just making
love.  The sensations of Aiden's tight asshole surrounding his cock were
incredible.  His boyfriend was so warm and smooth inside; he loved the
sensation from the extra-large head on his cock as it moved inside Aiden.
He also loved it when he bottomed out deep within him, pushing against the
second ring of muscle.

 From his position, he could see Nick's hard cock plunging in and out of
Aiden.  Both of them had their eyes closed and were obviously enjoying the
sensation being given and received.  Zac was feeling his own manhood rising
to the occasion.  Watching and listening as the two men made love had
brought a need foremost to his mind, and he freed his now very hard cock
from the confines of his shorts.  He was already oozing slick pre-cum as he
took hold of it and began stroking it. The fluid and his spit worked well
to lubricate his hand, as he slid it up and down his shaft.  He was
listening to Aiden tell Nick to fuck him deeper and harder, begging him to
pound his ass.  Nick was telling him he had such a tight, warm ass and how
much he loved him.  He watched from behind the bushes quietly as Nick moved
from his knees to roll Aiden over onto his back on the sand.  Moving over
top of his boyfriend, he plunged into him again.  Zac watched as Nick
stretched down to kiss Aiden while pumping into him.  When Nick was
supporting himself on his arms, Zac watched as Aiden started to jack
himself frantically; his head rolled backwards, eyes still closed.

Zac now had his eyes closed and was sliding his fist up and down his hard
cock faster, imagining he was inside Jon's beautiful ass.  His imagination,
being very vivid, had created a picture of Jon lying on his back with his
knees spread wide.  Jon's long hard cock with the big purple head was
oozing precum onto his tanned stomach skin, and he was begging Zac to make
love to him.  He imagined Jon's tight little rose bud 'winking" at him in
the anticipation of being spread wide as it was entered.

Zac closed his eyes, and he created a new picture in his mind of him lying
on top of Jon, feeling their hard-ons rubbing against each other as he
kissed him deeply.  He dreamed of kissing Jon, continuing to kiss his way
down his neck to the nipples, using his teeth to pull at them.  Zac thought
of what Jon's hard dick would taste like as he sucked on it, running his
tongue around the big purple head and then sucking it into his mouth.  He
would suck it so deep his nose would be buried in Jon's pubic hair.  He
wanted to lick and suck on Jon's big low hanging balls too.  They looked
like perfect fit for his mouth. He could use one hand to play with his
balls, while the other hand would be busy jacking Jon's cock, milking the
pre-cum out of it.

He thought about what Jon's asshole would feel on his tongue as he licked
it, using his tongue to probe into the ring of muscle. He would use his
hands to spread those luscious ass checks so he could spend lots of time to
lick and nibble at the beautiful little sphincter, relaxing and moistening
it for entry.  With his hands in that position, he could extend the index
fingers to begin massaging the entry point and entering it slowly with a
digit.  He created a vision in his mind of his finger disappearing into
Jon's entry point; moving in and out, twisting on the way out.  He thought
of Jon's response to the finger and imagined a second one going in.

The scenario he created in his mind so complete he could imagine it was
really Jon's love canal he was in, not his own fist.  Zac wanted to say
"Jon, you are so beautiful, so tight and it feels so good to have my dick
in your ass.  Jon I Love you."  He wanted to hear from Jon say he loved Zac
too.

Zac shot his load all over the tree he was supporting himself against.  He
came hard, imagining he was cumming deep inside Jon. He imagined how Jon
would feel as he came buried deep inside in.

Zac leaned against the tree, settling down from his climax. When he opened
his eyes, he could see the large streaks of cum dripping off the bark. It
was one of the largest loads he had shot in a long time.  "Wow, if I did
that with my imagination, imagine what he would like with the real thing"
he thought. Zac milked the final drops of cum out of his deflating cock,
pulled his shorts up to head back to camp.

Before leaving, Zac observed Aiden and Nick still lying together, Nick's
arms wrapped around Aiden, on the beach and basking in their after sex
glow. Zac hadn't seen Jon hidden amongst the bushes further into the
forest.

Jon had just finished blowing a load as well.  He had been watching Zac at
a distance from between the trees, but close enough to see Zac's hard cock
as he jerked off.  When Zac came, Jon had shot off soon after.  Jon was
wishing it was his ass Zac was pounding, and not his fist. He wanted that
big cock of Zac's up his ass. He headed back to camp after pulling his
shorts up.

The sun was dipping lower by now casting shadows from the trees.  Aiden and
Nick were sitting on the ground leaning against a log bench next to each
other.  Nick had his arm around Aiden who was resting his head on Nick's
shoulder.

Across from them, Jon was leaning against another log bench, his knees
bent.  He was sitting there shyly, stealing glances at Zac who was leaning
against another log, his arms stretched out in both directions along the
log.

The four men were sitting and staring at the fire as it burned; the flames
dancing as it consumed the wood.

"So this is canoeing" said Nick.

"We should have started canoeing years ago" added Aiden.

They sat in silence, being hypnotized by the fire, each alone with their
own thoughts.  Zac soon noticed their heads bobbing from being tired from
the day they had.

"Let's roll out the sleeping bags and hit the hay" suggested Zac.  The guys
got up, laid out the foam underlay, and spread the bags out on top of it.
It wasn't long after they lay down, sleep had claimed them all.  During the
night Jon had moved in and against Zac, being spooned.  Zac had even
wrapped his arm around Jon, pulling him tight while dreaming about how good
it felt to be holding someone again.

The four awoke in the morning to the sound of birds chirping their merry
songs all around them.  Zac got up first and started a small fire for
coffee and breakfast.  When the fire was going, he headed out into the bush
to empty his bladder.

As he returned to the campsite, Zac heard Aiden speaking from under the
sleeping bag which he had pulled over his head.  "Is there a volume control
for those birds?"

Zac laughed at Aiden.  "Nope.  They sing at the top of their lungs every
day."

A sleepy voice was heard from another bag.  "I thought nature was nothing
but silence" commented Nick.

"Nature is full of sound, but no one ever stops to listen to the beauty of
it" replied Zac while he poked at the fire.

Jon crawled out his sleeping bag and stood while stretching.  Obviously he
had a morning hard-on as his shorts where tented straight out.  The problem
was emphasized when he stretched backwards.

"Careful Jon, you may poke someone's eye out with that thing" Zac
commented.

Jon ignored him as he stretched.  "It needs stretch first thing in the
morning too." He returned to a normal standing position and asked "Anyone
want to help it stretch?"

"Subtle as usual" was heard as a mumble from one of the sleeping bags.

"Coffee is almost ready guys" said Zac.

"That's next on my morning list after a piss" Jon said.

When Jon came back from his trip to the bushes, he helped himself to a cup
of coffee and sat on the bench.  He was using two hands to hold the cup as
he sipped from it.  "Good stuff Zac" he commented.

Aiden and Nick were both up and stretching by now.  They had the same
problem in their shorts Jon had earlier.  They wandered off to the bushes
to deal with their morning needs.

After each had drunk their morning coffee, Zac got breakfast started.  The
bacon, eggs and oatmeal disappeared quickly.  After rinsing the dishes,
they packed and loaded the canoes.

Jon was paddling in silence.  He may be quiet but his mind was working and
in deep thought.  "Am I falling for Zac?" he kept thinking. He began to
realize his masturbation session was pure lust, but was now acknowledging
something deep inside of him. Jon realized he had been lusting after Jon
from the moment he had met him, but now he was beginning to feel something
different as he got to know him.  He had felt comfortable being spooned by
Zac last night, and even better when Zac had responded by wrapping his arm
over him and pulling him closer.  It had been a long time since he felt
something like this about someone else.  He thought some more and realized
"I have fallen for Zac.  But would he ever be interested in me?"

Nick was thinking about Jon and Zac as well.  He liked Zac, and was
beginning to think of him as a friend who he would like to continue
associating with after the trip.  He had seen how his brother and Zac had
seemed to be connecting and hoped it would work out.  Nick also thought
about Aiden and how it nice it was for them to be doing something like this
canoe trip together.  It was something the two of them would remember for
the rest of their lives.  Maybe it should become an annual event for the
four of them.

Aiden was sitting in the canoe with a hard-on and wanted to masturbate or
have Nick's lips wrapped around him.  "Dam it!  The fresh air is making me
hornier than even Nick" he thought.  He tried to concentrate on his
surroundings so his dick would settle down.

Zac was looking around at the river and shoreline, comparing the landmarks
with those imbedded in his memory.  They were slightly ahead of schedule
for the current leg of the trip but that could change real quick if they
got side tracked or something unexpected occurred. Jon didn't know Zac was
thinking the same things he had been. Zac's mind wandered to thinking about
Jon, and how he was feeling something deep inside for him.  It was an
awaking he hadn't felt for a long time, something which had disappeared the
day his boyfriend had been in the accident, closing himself off and diving
into his studies. He enjoyed Jon's sense of humor, his personality and his
happy go lucky disposition.  Jon seemed to be a sensitive person too with a
touch of shyness at times, which he over compensated for by being the class
clown so to speak.  Zac began to feel warmth growing in his heart.  It was
a feeling he thought he had been incapable of anymore, but now realized he
had been wrong.  He was falling for Jon, in a big way.

Soon they spotted a big black bear and three cubs foraging for food by
flipping and tearing apart rotten logs with their claws.  A couple of
times, they seemed to find something as cubs were chasing and eating
something.  When they weren't eating, the cubs would be playing with each
other similar to kittens at home in the city.  They would pounce on each
other, wrestle around and then chase each other before starting it over
again.  A sound similar to a "bawl" would be heard every once in a while
when one was bit a little too hard by its sibling.  They took pictures of
the animals as they played.

Continuing down river, there were a few of the locals who Zak knew went by
in their boats.  The boats were either filled to the gunnels with family
members or it was a lone male; there was nothing between those two
extremes.  They all waved at Zac as they passed by.

They took a short break, getting out and stretching their legs.  Aiden
decided to lead them in a set of stretches and on completion, they did feel
better.

"I may have to make that part of my trip procedures Aiden.  It was a good
idea and I do feel better after doing it.  How are you fat old city guys
doing?" asked Zac.  They guys looked at each other, at Zac, and then each
other again.  It was as if they had sent a message telepathically when they
all started towards Zac at the same time.  The overpowered him, and threw
him into the river.

Zac swam around a bit in the river before getting out.

"You're an old fart compared to us" said Aiden.

"Payback is a bitch Aiden" Zac said with a twinkle in his eye. "Just
remember that."  They got back into their canoes and started paddling down
the river further.  A short time later, they passed a First Nations
settlement on the south shore.

"There are about 1,000 people in the settlement year round" Zac explained.
"There are another 250 or so who live in the area at various cabins and
seasonal camps.  Those structures along the shore which look like the frame
of a teepee are drying racks for the fish and game they catch.  It is
traditional to do it that way. They can wrap a covering around the
structure and smoke hides or meat too."

They looked at the structures and could see what appeared to be a couple of
elders teaching a group of young people how to prepare the fish for drying.
The kids had seen Zac, and were waving at him while yelling his name.  Zac
returned the waves.

"My fan club" explained Zac with a smile.  He became serious when he
continued "I've spent a lot of time with the people there and really
enjoyed it.  They are very welcoming and hospitable when I drop in on them,
even now.  I did my Masters on their traditional ways and the way it
retained the environmental balance.  The elders were more than happy to sit
and drink tea while explaining the history of the tribe and their
traditions to me. We became good friends.  I had to visit with them many
times for more research, and get more sun dried moose jerky of course."

Jon had been listening attentively.  "That sounds like a great topic for a
paper.  How did it go?"

"I did very well and impressed my faculty advisor with the depth, and the
content" replied Zac.  "When I defended the paper in front of the Board, we
took twice as long as normal because they were truly interested by the
information.  They were both shocked and impressed that I had been accepted
by the tribal elders."

 "Can I read your paper sometime?" asked Jon.

"If you would like to read it, I will print a copy off for you."

"How far to the next campsite" asked Nick.

"Getting tired already older brother" asked Jon with a smile.

"I am going to smack the back of your head so bad when we get to land you
little bastard" he said with brotherly love. "You are only nine months
younger than Aiden and me at 23, not to mention you were an accident."

Jon retorted quickly with "Perfection is never an accident Nick.  The first
one is a trial run and with the second, the mistakes get corrected."

"Jon, the best part of you ran out of momma and into the mattress" Nick
shot back.

Not to be outdone, Jon replied "you're lucky the night of your conception
it wasn't a blow job instead of sex."

Zac was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes.  Nick and Jon were
sticking their tongues out at each other and Aiden was rolling his eyes as
he said "they do this all the time Zac.  You get used to it."

"The next campsite is about 2 hours after we have lunch.  We're going to
have lunch above the rapids we're thinking about traveling through.
Actually, I really want to check them out and decide if we portage or go
through them" explained Zac.

"Wow!  Are they big rapids" asked Aiden.

"Not usually.  They can be a bit of challenge for the inexperienced but I
will walk them through with you guys and decide if we can chance it."

"I'm not scared" chirped Jonas he puffed his chest out.

Zac thought for a moment and said "I am scared Jon.  You guys are new to
this and even though they are not big, you can still flip a canoe and get
caught in the hydraulic.  That's where the water pushes down deep after
coming off a rock.  It pulls the river water down and straight to the
bottom, almost creating a hole in the water which can suck in a person if
it is big enough."

"Maybe we better portage" suggested Nick.

"I'll check it out guys so no worries" replied Zac.

They heard the rapids before they saw them.  The roaring of the water being
funneled through a chute and dropping in elevation fairly rapidly was
pretty loud.  Zac didn't think it was too bad when he looked at it, but he
had to consider them from the level of his clients, not his.  He took the
guys down along the banks and pointed out the areas which could cause a
problem, as well as the routes to take their canoes through.  After, the
guys all stood on a rock outcropping, looking down over the river.  It was
quite a sight for the three city guys.  They were hypnotised by the water
flow and surges, over and around the rocks, almost seeming to dance as it
journeyed down the river.

As they ate lunch, they discussed as a group if they would shoot the rapids
or portage.  They decided to canoe through the area. Zac hoped by going
along with their decision, he was doing the right thing.

Zac had everyone put their life preservers on; making sure they had snugged
them tight.  He also showed them how to secure the loads into the canoes so
they wouldn't shift, then he double checked them after the guys had
finished.  They got into their canoes and headed out.  Nick and Aiden would
go through first, following the route Zac had showed them from above.  Zac
reminded them to trail the rope from the stern through the rapids as a
safety precaution.

The water near the top of the rapids picked up in speed as it narrowed and
shot down the chute.  The guys did well managing to stay away from the big
rocks and cross currents.  It only took a few minutes and they were
through, gliding slowly near the bottom in calm water.  They took up a
position to wait for Jon and Zac.  The two of them were waving at Jon,
giving him thumbs up at their accomplishment.

"Let's do it" said Zac from the stern of the canoe.  They entered the chute
and started down, picking up speed while the canoe rocked side to side from
the competing currents they encountered.  The two of them were about half
way through when a cross current caught the canoe, jarring it suddenly to
the right.  It wasn't much, but it was enough to catch Jon off balance as
he tried to complete his stroke, throwing him out of the canoe over the
left side.  He landed head first in the water, but surfaced quickly.

Zac steered the canoe towards Jon to give him the chance to grasp the
gunnel or grab one of the trailing ropes to hang onto.  Jon was struggling,
but managing to keep his head up and above the water. The current was
moving Jon downstream quickly and Zac couldn't get close enough to him as
he headed towards a series of boulders.  If he had still been in the canoe,
they could have gone up the right side into the calmer water.  But, Jon had
landed in the current which headed directly towards the big rocks.  Zac
followed him in the canoe, knowing the dangers of him being in the stern
and the canoe not being very well balanced with Jon not in the bow.  He
followed Jon around the first rock and towards the second.  Zac was
steering and paddling like a madman to keep up with him.  Jon bounced off
the second rock and was pulled around towards the third rock.  If he could
get by this one, he could float his way down to the calm water Zac thought.

Jon made it to the third rock and tried to grasp it, but he couldn't keep a
grip.  He was pulled around the rock, keeping tight to it.  This was the
worst position to be in as Jon could not avoid the hydraulic on the other
side.

Zac thought quickly and steered his canoe to the left of the third rock,
jumping out of it and into the water.  He swam across the currents and got
in behind the rock with Jon.  Jon looked tired or dazed when Zac got to
him.  He grabbed Jon by the life preserver collar and started to swim
backwards, away from the rock at an angle.  He was fighting the back
current, especially hard while pulling what seemed to be dead weight and
not helping at all.  He reached the current which went down stream and it
started to pull at him.  This was what Zac was hoping for as he struggled
to hold onto the collar of Jon's preserver.  Holding onto Jon had been like
trying to pull an anchor out of the water from a moving boat.  Zac had
finally pulled Jon over enough, and he was caught by the current as well.
Then it got easier.  Zac had no clue how Jon was doing and he wouldn't know
until they got to the shore where he could look at him.  Zac started
swimming across the river at an angle, heading for riverbank.  Between the
current pushing them and Zac swimming, they made to shore eventually.

He got out of the water and pulled Jon onto the beach, laying him flat.
Zac moved quickly and kneeled next to Jon to look him over.  Jon's eyes
were wide open and staring at him.

"Are you Ok Jon" asked Zac with concern.

"I think so Zac.  My head hurts a bit" he replied.  Zac pulled him up and
in close for a tight hug.

Zac had tears in his eyes as he held Jon tight.  "I thought I had lost you
Jon.  I really thought I had lost you."

Jon had started to hug him back. "Thanks Zac. I don't even know what
happened, I just remember flying out of the canoe and into the
water. Sometime after that I felt a bang to my head knocking me senseless."

Zac released Jon, and leaned back to look at him.  Jon had tears in his
eyes as well.  Zac leaned into Jon and kissed him, which Jon returned his
enthusiasm.  They were still kissing when Aiden and Nick arrived at the
beach after beaching their canoe nearby.

"Are you ok Jon?" asked Nick as he kneeled next to him.  Aiden got on his
knees close by as well so he could look at Jon as well.

"I think so.  I wouldn't be if Zac hadn't saved me" he said.

"I saw that Jon" Nick replied.  He leaned over and hugged both Jon and Zac.
"Thank you Zac."

Zac replied "It was nothing, it's what guides do."

Jon was still looking into Zac's eyes while his brother had been talking,
and he smiled.  "I think I need more mouth to mouth Zac."

Zac returned his smile and leaned in to kiss him again.

"I think he is doing ok" Aiden joked.  "Jon, there had to be an easier way
to get Zac to kiss you."

"Ignore him Zac and keep kissing me" said Jon.  Zac gave him another long,
sensual kiss.

"Jon must be doing ok.  He is a little cold, he's bumped his head and he
still gets a big hard on" Nick said as he pointed at Jon's shorts.

 Jon moved his hands to cover himself while getting up.  "Asshole" Jon
said.

"Can you guys fetch the canoe and bring it back to shore?" asked Zac.
Aiden and Nick were just about to get into their canoe when they saw a
motor boat heading towards the canoe.  The boat operator grabbed the
trailing rope, and started to drag it towards them.  Soon he had pulled up
to the beach and jumped out.

"You guys ok?" the young guy asked.

"Yes Jimmy, we are fine.  Thanks for doing that" said Zac as he walked
forward.  Jimmy reached out his hand and Zac grasped it.  They shook by
grasping each other's wrist, locking their hands tightly, and then
embracing each other with their free arm. It was a greeting which
demonstrated not only warmth, but a strong connection.

"Zac, it's good to see you brother" exclaimed Jimmy.

"It has been too long my brother" answered Zac.

"You swam through the rapids without me?" Jimmy asked.

"You swim through the rapids?  Like in body surfing?" asked Aiden with
disbelief on his face.

"Yup.  Jimmy and I do it with a few others a couple of times a summer.
This guy fell out of the canoe and I went in after him Jimmy" Zac explained
as he gestured to Jon.

"Let me take a look at him for you Zac" replied Jimmy.

"Guys, this is Jimmy or Nurse Jimmy Nahtooney if you prefer.  He works at
the medical clinic in the settlement we passed" said Zac.  The guys
introduced themselves to Jimmy.  He checked Jon over and declared him fine
for a skinny little city guy. They all were happy at Jimmy's announcement,
except Jon who stated very clearly he wasn't little.

Zac and Jimmy spoke for a few minutes about various members of the
community and how they were doing.  Jimmy ended the conversation by telling
Zac he had to get going to help his grandfather pull the fishing nets they
had placed early in the morning.  They hugged again before he headed off in
his boat.

"You kiss me and a minute later you hug him" said Jon.

"You heard him call me brother didn't you?  I was adopted by his family
when I was doing my Masters, a great honour for me.  We really are brothers
in the eyes of the tribe" explained Zac.  "You should see him naked; he has
such a great ass......."

Jon's eyes snapped open like someone had let a blind loose at a window.

"But not as good as yours Jon" continued Zac with a big smile.  He stepped
towards Jon who was smiling as well.  He leaned in and kissed him.

"I like those kisses Zac" Jon said.

"Does this mean the ugly duckling little brother is interested in the big
hunky canoe guide?" asked Nick.

"Asshole" said Jon in reply.  "Yes, the cute little brother is interested
in the hot canoe guide."

"I want to get to know you too Jon" said Zac.  "I was afraid I had lost you
in the water before I even got a chance to start."

"I appreciate that Zac, but you saved me.  Something I will never forget or
be able to repay."  Jon reached out and hugged Zac as he started to sob.

"This is good.  It's the emotional release after a major event" Zac said to
Nick.  Nick and Aiden wrapped their arms around the two making it a group
hug.

The hugged for a few moments until Jon had settled down.  While they
hugged, Zac quietly asked Jon "How are you feeling?"

"Better Zac, I'm feeling better now" replied Jon.

When the hug broke, Zac suggested if Jon was up to it, they should head
down river to the next campsite where they were going to stay for the
night.  Jon said he was ready and wanted to get back onto the proverbial
horse which had thrown him off so hard.  Jon and Zac launched first,
knowing the campsite was about two hours away.

Just before they launched, Aiden spoke quietly. "Well, it looks like
everything is going to be fine Nick. Those two appear to be on their way to
something."

"We'll see" Nick whispered back.  "I agree with you and we can hope Aiden.
Jon really needs someone and Zac really seems like a good guy. He risked
his life to save him, and then downplayed it.  That says something about
him."

The trip to the campground was fairly quiet.  Jon and Zac did chat now and
then, but they were both deep in thought about the episode at the rapids.

They beached the canoes along the shore at the campsite.  When they had
stepped out of the canoe, Jon and Zac grasped each other into a hug,
content being in each other's strong arms.  They leaned their heads onto
each other's shoulder and stood there for a moment, enjoying the feelings.
Zac moved his head and kissed Jon's neck, and then his lips.  Jon returned
the kiss.  They looked at each deeply, the growing flames of love seen by
both in the other's eyes.

"Jon, this feels right to me" said Zac

Jon quickly replied "it does to me too Zac."

"I like this, but we need to get camp set up and supper made."

Aiden and Nick had pulled up onto the beach as Jon and Zac were embracing.
They glanced at each other and smiled.

All four got the equipment out and up to the campsite.  There were enough
steaks in the cooler to cook over the open fire for a good supper.  They
worked together to prepare the tree sling.  Then everyone helped to prepare
the potatoes with carrots for the tin foil cooking. They put the tin foil
packs into the coals of the fire and buried them.

Zac took them down the beach for a wash, holding Jon's hand the entire way
there.  They stripped off what little clothing they wore, and went into the
shallow water.

Zac went over to Jon and helped him to wash his hair.  He was shampooing
and massaging Jon's head, with very obvious effects on Jon's rising cock.

Zac moved around behind him and began to wash his shoulders and down his
back, spending some extra time on the luscious muscular mounds of his ass.
Jon started to move when Zac whispered in his ear

"Stay still Jon.  Just stand here and enjoy."

He looked over at Aiden and Nick.  They were standing there in the
shallows; hands wrapped around each other's hard cock and jacking slowly.
Zac came up tight behind Jon, reaching around him to start washing his
chest and abdomen.  He spent extra time washing Jon's very erect nipples,
playing with them by tugging and twisting them gently.  Jon was pushing
backwards so his ass was in contact with Zac's hard cock.  He wiggled his
ass and finally reached around to pull it apart with his hands, allowing
Zac's hard cock to nestle in the crack between his cheeks.

"Fuck me Zac" Jon moaned.

"Not right now Jon.  Later tonight, and we will make love, not fuck!" he
said.

"Promise?" asked Jon.

"Promise!" replied Zac.

Jon's need was growing within him and he tried to entice Zac more by
wiggling his ass against the hard cock behind him.  Zac reached around and
slowly slid both hands down to Jon's hard piece of man flesh.  He grasped
it gently, and using the soap as a lube, began to jack him. Jon moaned
deeply, leaning back into Zac. One of Zac's hands went slowly up and down
Jon's rigid shaft while the other was gently being twisting around the
large mushroom shaped head.

"Zac, this feels so good" Jon whispered.

Zac looked over at Aiden and Nick who were now sitting in the shallow
water, side by side, jacking each other's hard cocks.  He could see both of
them closely now, and saw their dicks were big and thick.  He watched their
hands sliding up and down the shaft of the other as they were watching him
jack Jon.

Jon turned his head as much as he could to look at Zac for a kiss, and he
got one. Zac began to slide his cock up and down the crack of Jon's ass,
his pre-cum and the soap giving him lots of lubrication to slide easily up
and down within the tight trough between the muscular cheeks.  Zac started
to pump Jon's cock faster, and with a tighter grip.  Jon had reached a hand
around to grab Zac's hip, pulling him tighter against him while the other
reached up to his own nipple and began to pull and twist it.

Jon was moving his hips to meet Zac's fist as it stroked his cock.  This
helped the sensations being felt by Zac's cock between Jon's ass cheeks as
the large muscles were tensing and relaxing providing waves of sensation.
It was an incredible feeling for Zac.

"Zac, I'm not going to last much longer" groaned Jon.  "This is just too
fucking good."

"I'm enjoying it Jon.  Your ass feels so good so I'm not going to last much
longer either" Zac replied.

Just as they finished speaking, he heard Aiden yell he was cumming followed
quickly by Nick saying the same thing.  Zac looked over and could see the
ropes of cum being shot out of their dicks, landing in the water.  They
were cumming like geysers Zac thought.  Jon called out as well.

Jon shot a huge load out as Zac looked over his shoulder.  It seemed to go
on forever but he knew it was only a few seconds.  While he was cumming, he
clenched his ass cheeks tightly; trapping Zac's cock between them, and that
was enough to push him over the edge as well.  He came hard; his cum
shooting between Jon's cheeks and squeezing out of them like too much jelly
on a peanut butter sandwich.  When they both finished, they slowly sank
down to sit in the shallow water, Zac still behind Jon.  He continued
holding onto Jon tightly from behind.  Jon positioned himself so his ass
was tight against with Zac's deflating cock, between his widely spread
legs.  Jon leaned his back into Zac's chest, and turned his head to kiss
Zac.

"Thank you Zac" he said.

"Thank you Jon" Zac replied.

"That was pretty hot Zac.  You even made my little brother look hot while
you gave him that hand job" said Nick.

"You guys looked pretty hot over there too, don't fool yourself.  You were
pretty fucking hot over there too!" replied Zac.

"Do you do this often?  I mean, you must hook up on these trips all the
time" asked Jon.

"Jon, this is only the second time in the all the years I have been guiding
that I allowed something to happen. I don't mix business with pleasure and
it's not good for business if any guide has the reputation of using his
client's as sexual objects.  The only other time I was interested enough in
someone to have sex, we ended up dating and living together after the trip
for 2 1/2 years.  It was a great life together until he was killed by a
drunk driver" answered Zac.

Jon twisted quickly to look at Zac.  Aiden and Nick both looked up in
shock, their mouths open, not knowing what to say.  "I'm sorry I asked that
Zac."

"It's ok Jon, no worries.  I just thought I would give you the complete
story, and tell you are only the second guy I have ever done this while
guiding. I don't do quickies with people; it is morally offensive to me.  I
am hoping by the end of the trip we may consider being together too."

"I would like that Zac" answered Jon.  "I have been feeling something more
than lust since I first shook your hand yesterday morning.  I think I am
falling for you Zac"

"Me too Jon.  But I know I'm falling for your skinny little city ass" he
replied.  Zac hugged him from behind while Jon leaned backwards into his
body.

Aiden and Nick were applauding.

Jon smiled, leaned back for another kiss from Zac and then said "assholes."

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm starved and there are some steaks
ready to cook" said Zac.

Jon yelled "Alright, FOOD!"

The four gathered up their towels and toiletries, and then headed back to
the campsite.  No one even bothered to get dressed as they were now fairly
comfortable being naked around each other.  Especially after the show they
had put on for each other.

Aiden volunteered to cook the steaks over the fire and Nick volunteered to
get the vegetables finished.  Zac and Jon went out to gather some wood to
keep the fire going into the night as well as the morning for coffee.  When
they came back with a couple of large armfuls, the two of them were told
supper was ready.  It was a tasty meal.  Aiden had done a great job of
cooking the steaks.  Zac had brought two large steaks for everyone, and
there was nothing left on their plates by the end of the meal.  Not even
the scraps of fat as those had been eaten as well.

As the other three were clearing up the dishes and putting the food away,
Zac went a little ways from the campsite and cut some sticks to roast
marshmallows.  He was surprised when all 3 had admitted they have never
done it before and were soon enjoying themselves trying to get the best
brown colour without burning it.

Zac opened a small waterproof tub the guys had not seen before.  In it were
graham wafers and chocolate bars.  He showed them how to get two pieces of
wafer ready along with a piece of chocolate. He placed the chocolate on top
of one of the wafer pieces, laying the second wafer beside the first one.
Zac carefully cooked his marshmallow and using the single graham wafer he
demonstrated how to trap the marshmallow on top of the chocolate and the
other wafer.  It effectively made a wafer sandwich with warm marshmallow
and melting chocolate between them.

The guys loved making the things Zac called Smores.  They had to keep an
eye on Aiden.  Nick explained that Aiden was a chocoholic and if the group
turned their back on the bars, he would have them in his mouth before
anyone could even react.

Aiden and Jon quickly spoke up, calling Nick a few choice names.  They set
the record straight, and it was actually Nick who had the chocolate
problem.  As if to emphasize it, Nick had already managed to grab two
chocolate bars.  He was quickly relieved of the bars and given a seat on
the other side of the fire, the opposite side to the Smore supplies.  He
faked a pout when he sat down but received no sympathy from anyone.

The sun was setting, and four men had already hung the remaining food up in
the tree cache.  Now they were sitting as couples in front of the fire.
Zac had brought a couple bottles of wine and those were now open, a paper
cup in each person's hand.

"Zac, the wine was the icing on the cake for today.  The night is beautiful
and it is so nice to sit in front of the fire.  It is a new experience for
me to be running around naked for the last couple of hours too" said Nick.

Aiden spoke "I agree there is no place I would rather be than doing this,
and snuggled up to my boyfriend.  Sharing this with Zac and Jon makes it
even more special."

"Thanks guys.  I appreciate that sediment and hope we will continue our
friendships when we get back to the city and our real life" replied Zac.

Jon was sitting in front of Zac, leaning back against his chest. "I like it
too.  I especially like it with Zac snuggling with me in front of the fire,
and NAKED."

The guys all laughed.  "Subtle as usual Jon" commented Nick.

"Seriously though, I would like us to continue seeing each other Zac.
Would you?" asked Jon as he turned to look Zac in the eyes.

"I will have to check my schedule....." replied Zac.  His words stopped as
Jon slapped Zac's naked thigh near his ass.  "I stand corrected.  Yes Jon,
I would like to continue seeing you.  I think you want to hear me say as
boyfriends don't you?"

The other thigh was smacked by Jon.  Zac, Aiden and Nick were laughing at
Jon's action.  "Dam right I want to hear that."

"Ok Jon, I want the world to know you are now my boyfriend" said Zac
seriously.  "I have fallen in love with you Jon and am having trouble
imagining being without you."

Jon turned around and got onto his knees quickly, facing Zac.  "Did you say
you love me?"

"Yes I did" replied Zac.

Jon smiled and spoke "I've fallen in love with you too Zac." They both
kissed, and guzzled the wine in their cups, placing them off to the side.

Zac pulled Jon into him for a long, sensual, tongue probing kiss.  Both men
were already responding, their cocks filling and expanding rapidly.  The
two men stood, without even breaking the kiss and started to grind their
pelvises into each other.  Their hands were exploring each other's body
finally letting their hands rest on the other's buttocks.  They pulled on
the other's ass which increased the pressure between their groin areas as
they rubbed their cocks together between their flat stomachs.

Nick and Aiden had been watching the other two begin to celebrate their new
relationship status, and they found it very hot to witness live.  While
still watching, Aiden had reached around to fondle Nick, with Nick
reciprocating to Aiden. They had both started to swell just watching the
other two, but the actual touch of another person sped the process up
considerably.  Aiden could feel Nick's cock beginning to respond to his
touch.  They began to kiss while slowly beginning to jack the other.

Nick began to move towards Aiden, and they moved to the ground together
with Aiden on his back. Nick looked at his boyfriend, leaning in to give
him a kiss.  Aiden responded and kissed him back.  They continued to kiss
deep as their bodies were sliding, and rubbing into each other.  Nick's
body was now fully on top of Aiden, wedged between his bent legs.  He
slowly slid down Aiden's body kissing and licking at his skin until he
reached the erect nipples.  He blew across the right one after licking it.
The breath on his nipple caused Aiden to shiver with sensual response.

"You like that don't you?" asked Nick.

"Oh god yes I do like it.  My nipples are so sensitive, especially when you
play with them" replied Aiden.

"I love the feeling and taste of your skin on my tongue as I circle the
nipple and then drag my tongue over their hardness."

"I love it too" replied Aiden.

Nick slid down further, kissing, licking and nipping skin the entire way
until he was facing Aiden's very hard cock.  He took it into his mouth and
sucked the entire length of it into his mouth.  There was some stubble
where Aiden had shaved his pubic hairs off, and Nick could feel it on the
end of nose as he engulfed his boyfriend's hard dick to the root.

Zac and Jon had been watching Aiden and Nick from the corners of their
eyes.  They were now in a 69 position with Jon on his hands and knees over
Zac.  They had the other's hard cocks in their mouths, giving as well as
receiving pleasure.  Jon was enjoying the taste of Zac's pre-cum being
squeezed into his mouth as he sucked on the huge dick.  Zac was
experiencing the same feelings and salty taste from Jon.

Zac let the big dick free of his mouth and leaned up to take the large
hanging balls into it.  He was rolling his tongue around Jon's balls as he
used his hands to separate Jon's as cheeks, toying with the exposed ring of
muscle with his fingers.  Zac had dreamed of this and now he was
experiencing it for real. He stroked lightly across Jon's sphincter,
massaging it and feeling the velvety ring vibrating with his touch.

Jon moaned his appreciation out loud around Zac's cock buried in his mouth.
Zac milked some of Jon's pre-cum out of his dick onto his fingers,
returning them to their position at his ass.  He took Jon's cock deep into
his mouth while he slid one finger into the exposed muscle ring.  Jon
groaned at the entry.  Jon had quit sucking on Zac's cock to lay his head
down on the pubic mound, enjoying the sensations he was feeling.

Zac now had two fingers, one from each hand inserted into Jon.  He was
sliding them in and out, massaging the ring to loosen up.  While Jon had
his head laid on Zac's crotch, he looked over at his brother.

Nick was buried deep inside Aiden's ass, and thrusting in and out of it
with vigor.  Aiden was on his back, knees spread wide with his hands under
his ass holding it up off the ground for Nick to plow into him deeper.
Nick had his hands gripping Aiden's hips and pulled him as he thrust in.
Both were moaning and groaning in pleasure as the hard cock thrust in and
out.

"What do you want Aiden?" asked Nick between breaths.

"Fuck me hard Nicky" replied Aiden. "Harder Nick, slam me harder."

"Anything for you" Nick replied as he plunged harder and deeper into him.

"Nick, it feels so good when you have that big cock slamming into me."

"You are so tight sweetie; my cock was made for your asshole."

"Yes, it's perfect" said Aiden.

Nick pulled out and signalled for Aiden to move and lay across the huge log
beside them.  Aiden moved quickly and assumed a position with his dick
pointing straight down to the ground; legs spread wide leaving his ass in a
position for easy access by Nick.  Nick moved behind him, braced himself
with his arms above Aiden, plunging his cock deep inside of him.  As he
plunged in, Nick could feel the round little button deep within Aiden on
his cock as he rubbed by it.  Aiden felt the jolt of electricity as his
prostrate was hit by the hard cock and he moaned loudly in pleasure.

"That's it Nick, that's the angle.  Harder Nick, go deeper" cried out
Aiden.

"Oh god Aiden, you feel so good" he replied as he thrust as deep as he
could.

"That's it Nick.  Do it.  I want to cum as you're fucking me" Adin said.

Jon was lying on the ground with his legs spread wide as Zac pounded into
his ass.  He could hear what was being said between Nick and Aiden and it
was really hot for him to hear.

"Come on Zac, fuck my ass hard" screamed Jon.

"Jon you are so fucking tight" moaned Zac.

"You are so fucking big in my little asshole Zac.  Pound me!" replied Jon.

"Are you getting close Jon?" asked Zac.

"Oh yeah!  You are so good at this" replied Jon between grunts.

Zac started fucking him like a runner seeing the finish line in a race.  He
could hear Aiden and Nick screaming they were cumming and he joined them.

"I'm cumming Jon" cried Zac.  He could feel the contractions of Jon's
asshole and body as he was cumming as well.

Jon's dick spurted rope after rope of seed into the ground beneath him.
Zac collapsed on top of him, still embedded in his ass.  After a couple of
minutes, the four men had all untangled themselves from their partners and
were leaning against each other in post orgasmic bliss.  Jon and Zac had
crawled over to join Nick and Aiden against the log, the four of them with
their arms over the shoulders of the person next to them.  They sat there
looking into the fire.

"I can cross being fucked outside, around a campfire with witnesses of my
bucket list" commented Aiden.

"That was on your list too?" replied Jon.

Nick spoke up "I have had a few things crossed off my bucket list during
this trip."

"I don't need a bucket list.  I have Jon so my list is now complete" said
Zac.

Each couple kissed their boyfriend.  They four of them were covered in dirt
and cum so they loaded some wood onto the fire and ran to the river to swim
and wash off.  When they returned to the fire, they stood in couples with
their arms around their partner staring into the flames.

The four naked men were standing there when Zac noticed a shooting star and
pointed at it.  "Make a wish" he said.

They were all thinking the same thing. They each already had what they
wanted, and didn't need anything else.  They stood watching the falling
star burn out, with their arms around the person who they would have wished
for.

"Damien, that's how we met each other" said Jon.  Although they had left
the sex out of the story for their son, both Zac and Jon clearly remembered
it as they went through the memories of their first canoe trip together.

"It was 20 years ago, and the four of us have done that canoe trip every
year since. Over the years, we have been joined by your brothers and your
cousins as they reached their first year at university.  This year, we want
you to join us and fill the fifth canoe.  Nick and Aiden's sons will be
coming as well, seeing Todd has entered university with you" said Zac.

"Could I canoe with Todd dad?" said Damien with a blush.

"Why don't you call him and ask" suggested Jon.  Damien dialed his cell
phone and stepped into the living room out of the kitchen.

"I think those two have been seeing each other since high school, but don't
want us to know.  They aren't shy about anything except telling us about
them." said Jon.

"Maybe it will come out on their first trip" suggested Zac. "I think they
are concerned about being seen as cousins by everyone.  They are both
adopted so in my mind, it doesn't make a difference."

"They make a cute couple but I am concerned with the two of them being the
sizes of small muscular buffalo. They do great on the university football
team, but it isn't too good in a delicate piece of equipment like a canoe.
We may have to get one with extended gunnels so they don't sink."

Zac laughed along with Jon when that vision appeared in his mind.

"Marrying you and adopting the 3 kids were the best things I ever did in my
life Jon" said Zac as he reached across the kitchen table to hold his
husband's hand. "This annual trip reminds me of that."

"I feel the same way Zac.  When you saved my life, I never thought it would
end up like this. I still remember the shooting star and the wish I made.
Do you?" Jon asked.

"I am living my wish" said Zac.

"So am I" replied Jon.  "So am I."

The End.
