<><><><><>

      The absolute silence was only punctuated by the slowly swirling snow,
until the single digit powder compressed under Jake's snowshoe. He looked
up into the encroaching twilight and shook his head to see the sky already
blanketed with points of starlight. Jake knew a crystal clear night was
just a precursor to a bitterly cold morning.  He guessed it would be well
below zero if a storm didn't slide in during the night. Jake refocused on
the silhouette of the small cabin before him as he steadily snowshoed to
it.  Just as the metal teeth of his shoes clicked against the porch, a
monstrous shape erupted from the tree line and ran at him full bore. The
animal leaped from several feet away, hitting Jake full in the chest,
knocking his muscular body to the porch.

      "Damn it, Kody! Get off me!"

      Jake grabbed the huge Husky by the neck ruff and tugged him to the
side.  Climbing to his feet, he quickly brushed the powder from his
clothes. Pulling off a glove, Jake reached above the door, searching for
the key he kept there. Eventually his chilling fingertips found the frigid
piece of metal and retrieved it from his hiding spot. Quickly slipping his
hand back into the warm glove, he spent several minutes fighting the aging
lock before it finally gave way. As Jake pushed the door open, Kody rushed
past him into the dark room.

      "Crazy dog," muttered Jake as he released his snowshoes and cleared
them of snow, leaving them propped against the wall as he closed the door.

      Jake made his way to the table on the side of the tiny room and
wiggled his arms out of the backpack he was wearing. They had been at the
cabin for several days now, Jake had to make the several mile hike to his
SUV so he could drive to town and restock supplies. Since he was limited to
the amount he could carry, Jake tended to go out several times a week. His
civilization-weakened body had complained about the new demands, but the
soreness was lessening with each trip.

      Leaving his pack on the table, Jake moved to the only heat source for
the cabin, a small two-burner wood stove. Opening the stove, Jake reached
in with the poker and stirred the coals. He smiled as the small red embers
came into view, a faint wisp of smoke curled from the ashes. Reaching into
the tinderbox, he pulled out a handful of tinder, and laid it gently on the
coals. Leaning in close, he gently blew until the small pile burst into
flames. Jake spent the next few minutes carefully feeding the flames pine
needles, then gradually larger twigs, until he had a small fire going.

      As he carefully laid in the first piece of kindling, he couldn't help
but think back over the last five years, and the fact that the pain of
losing his husband had never really lessened. Each year as the horrific
anniversary came again; Jake left his modest home and escaped to the
wilderness for a few weeks. As he fed the hungry fire, he recalled the
wonderful times he and Scott had over their decade plus relationship. A
slight smile crept across his face as he recalled how he teased Scott about
his slightly receding hairline, and how valiantly he tried to hide it,
until he had gotten tired of the teasing one summer and had cut off all his
hair. What Scott hadn't foreseen was how sexy Jake thought he was with
buzzed hair.

      A sharp crack from the burning wood brought Jake back to the
present. Looking around the tiny room, he saw some of the small tokens of
Scott he had brought to the cabin over the years since his death. Only
happy memories, Jake had no problem bringing up the horror and soul rending
sadness of the accident. His only consolation was the knowledge that,
according to the investigator, Scott probably never saw the drunk driver
who t-boned his car. The trial that followed was a blur to Jake, the pain
of his loss put everything in a haze for him.

      His colleagues at the university somehow seemed shocked that he
grieved like he did, as if it were somehow less painful because their
relationship was between two men.  Oddly enough the person who was the most
support, was a quiet man that Jake had never really gotten to know that
well before, but he had lost his wife years before to breast cancer. He
seemed to fully understand that love was love and the pain wasn't a contest
to see who hurt the most. Jake had spent many hours with Keith talking
about their spouses, and the knowledge that someone else understood did
help.

      But Jake coped most days now. It was just around the anniversary of
Scott's death that he needed a break from life. So this tiny cabin he had
built after Scott's death had become the place that kept him sane.

      Jake shook his head at himself as he lit the small sliver of kindling
he was using as a taper. With flame burning brightly from its tip, he
quickly lit a small kerosene lamp beside the bed. Checking to make certain
everything was in place, he closed the door to the stove. The small space
warmed quickly, and Jake was soon stripping off his layers of clothing.
Eventually he was down to his union suit, and lay on the bed to enjoy one
of his few acknowledgments to the digital age, his eBook reader. Jake had
finally relented and purchased it, not to be one of the in crowd, but
because of the weight it saved in his backpack. It could store a week of
reading material with very little weight. That, combined with Kody's warm
body across his feet, soon had Jake feeling very warm and relaxed.

      Kody perked up suddenly, staring in the direction of the door. Jake
listened carefully, trying to see or hear what had the dog's attention.
Just as he was about to settle back to read, thinking a passing owl or
other small animal must have caught Kody's attention, a frantic pounding
erupted from his door.

      "Oh god! Please! I'm freezing, please let me in."

      "Hang on! Hang on! I'm comin'," yelled Jake.

      Grabbing his pants he quickly pulled them on and then shuffled across
the few feet of floor to reach the door. Yanking it open he found a tall
young man standing at his door, shivering and covered with snow. As Jake
tried to work out how this youngster had managed to find him, he realized
the kid was standing in the driving snow in only a t-shirt, jeans and
athletic shoes.

      "Come on! Get in here!" said Jake as he frantically beckoned him into
the cabin.

      Jake tugged the young man into the cabin when he didn't move.
Slamming the door shut, he turned to see that the kid had slumped onto the
bed. His body was wracked with shivers as he sat on the bed, his lips blue
from the cold. Jake grabbed his hands and started rubbing them, realizing
that they are almost frostbitten. The young man was incoherent except for
the whimpers of pain as feeling returned to his hands. Jake pressed a hand
against his chest and laid him on the bed.

      Jake cracked the ice from the kid's shoes, finally getting them
off. Minutes crept by as he fought to get the socks off his wet, frozen
feet. Finally managing to peel them away, he saw gray-white flesh, a sure
sign of frostbite. Jake was becoming frantic as he realized the severity of
the exposure. Even in what felt like a warm room to Jake, the kid was
shivering violently, his speech incoherent. Jake only knew one way to get
his body temperature back to normal, but he wasn't really sure he could
handle that kind of intimate contact with another man. Letting out a long
sigh, he decided there wasn't really a choice, if he didn't warm this young
man up he wasn't going to survive.

      Lifting the kid's slender frame, Jake quickly undressed him, trying
to be as clinical and quick as he could. Soon his ice-coated clothing was
draped around the room.  As the kid lay curled on the bed, his slender body
and pale, smooth skin made him look even younger than Jake's initial
impression. Putting his misgivings behind him, Jake banked the stove then
tugged the blankets over the kid. But watching for a few moments Jake could
see he was still shivering violently. With a deep sigh, Jake stripped
quickly and crawled into the bed behind the freezing young man. Quickly
pulling the multiple layers of blankets and quilts over them, Jake braced
himself and spooned his naked body against the nude kid now sharing his
bed.

      Raising his head, he saw Kody watching them closely with an
inquisitive look on his face. "Come on, Kody. Climb on top and help me get
him warm." The large Husky moved to the side of the bed, looked to Jake for
confirmation, then climbed on their feet and lay down.

      A gasp slipped between Jake's lips as he enfolded the freezing
stranger. The icy cold of his skin shocked Jake's body, sending the message
that it desperately wanted away from the frigid boy, but Jake held the kid
tightly while his system valiantly tried to warm them both. The minutes
seemed to creep by, while the increases in temperature seemed tiny. But
after long minutes of worry, Jake felt his charge relax beside him and a
few minutes later slip into the deep breathing of normal slumber.

      Finally able to relax, Jake stayed spooned against him to make sure
he remained warm. As he drifted off to sleep, he realized distantly that he
had missed the smell of a man surrounding him since he'd lost Scott.
Lifting himself from the bed for a moment, Jake blew out the lamp then
snuggled back against his guest.

      <><><><>

      Justin woke slowly in luxurious heat, feeling oddly safe and
protected. He refused to open his eyes and destroy the feeling of
contentment that he hadn't felt in years. He had vague memories of the
driving snow and bitter cold last night, and finally seeing a light in the
distance. He had almost given up, his feet numb as he struggled for each
step as he stumbled to the door of the tiny cabin. After that everything
was a blur of white cold, followed by the intense relief of warmth.

      Justin moved slightly, and everything came into focus. He could feel
the heat of the person behind him and heard a sigh from his feet that he
somehow knew was a dog.  The warm body spooned behind him was bringing out
more feelings of intimacy than Justin could deal with. The prickles of hair
against his bare back let him know it was a man, and his body was already
beginning to respond to the intimacy. Justin desperately looked around the
tiny room, trying to figure out of what he was going to do. As he was
working out options, he felt the person behind him stirring.

      "Get down, Kody," he heard in a deep bass voice that then with a
question directed at Justin. "Morning. How are you feeling?"

      Justin shrugged, and then realized he needed to actually speak.
Taking a quick inventory of his body he realized, other than a little
tenderness in his toes, he was fine.  Actually he was more than fine, his
erection was rock hard and jutting from his crotch.

      "I'm ok, thanks for letting me in. I'm afraid I don't remember much
of it," said Justin softly.

      A deep rumbling chuckle rose beside his ear, sending a chill down his
entire body.  "Well, sorry about stripping you down and putting us together
in our birthday suits. It was the only way I knew to get you warm. You had
a pretty bad case of hypothermia, you might have some frostbite on your
toes too."

      The blankets behind Justin started to rustle and suddenly a thickly
muscled thigh was across his hips. Justin could feel the weight shift as
the stranger hoisted himself out of the bed. Justin looked up and almost
gasped as a hard-as-rock, bubble butt walked away from him. His eyes were
locked on the lightly haired ass cheeks. As the owner's back was turned
toward him, a wet lick across his face brought Justin eye to eye with the
cabin owner's large, very hairy dog.

      Justin reached out and ruffled his fur and smiled. "Hey boy, what's
your name?  You kept the old toes pretty warm last night."

      "His name's Kody, and I'm Jake. What's yours?"

      Justin sat up, hoping to hide his rampant erection, pulled the
blankets and quilts around him until only his face was showing. As his
surroundings began to register, he realized the room was not exactly warm,
so he was glad he had stayed burrowed in the covers. As he looked out at
Jake, he saw the big man pulling on a set of white thermals that covered
him from neck to ankles. There was also a cheery fire going in the small
wood-burning heater, Justin could already feel an increase in temperature
for the minuscule room. Catching Jake's eye, he realized that he still
hadn't given his name.

      "I'm Justin. Sorry, I was zoning a little. I can't tell you how much
I appreciate you saving me last night."

      Jake walked across the room, pulled a 5-gallon bucket from a cabinet,
and as Justin watched he fished his thick uncut penis out and proceeded to
urinate into the bucket. Justin's mouth fell open as he watched Jake pull
back a long foreskin and take care of his morning piss so blatantly.
Suddenly he realized that he needed to pee urgently too, looking around he
realized the bucket was the bathroom. The turgid state of his cock
certainly wasn't going to make this situation any easier. As he was
starting to panic about getting out of this without acknowledging his
. . . problem, he realized Jake was dressing.

      "I'll fix us some breakfast, but since we don't have electricity, I
keep the stuff that needs to be frozen in a little box outside. I'll be a
few minutes so if you need to take care of your morning . . . ritual. That
bucket is my bathroom, just cover up whatever you do with fresh sawdust and
put it back in the closet," explained Jake as he want out the door.

      Justin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly threw his feet over the
side of the bed and onto the wooden floor. As he put weight on them, pain
lanced through his feet, confirming a problem with his toes, but his full
bladder convinced him to cover the few feet to the bucket, which he did
with careful steps. Spreading his legs wide, Justin desperately willed his
hard cock to soften enough to urinate. Finally the cold of the room did
what he couldn't through resolve alone achieve, and his dick deflated
enough to at least point it at the bucket. With a sigh of relief, the thick
hard stream of urine burst from his penis and hit the middle of the sawdust
filled bucket. He stood there for several minutes as a seemingly
never-ending stream continued to surge from him. As the final drops fell
into the bucket, he heard a rumbling chuckle behind him.

      "Whoever fills the bucket has to take it out and dump it, just
thought I'd warn you," said Jake softly.

      Justin gave a yip of surprise at not having heard Jake come
inside. He realized it must have just happened when the swirl of freezing
air hit him and he dove for the bed and it's warm blankets.

      Jake chuckled at the young mans antics, grabbed a small bag and
poured a good amount of sawdust into the bucket. Putting everything back,
he moved to a basin that Justin hadn't noticed before and washed up before
starting to put together some breakfast.  Justin realized that he was still
naked and started looking around the room for his clothes.

      "They're still wet. I don't think you want to try to put them back on
right now.  You're fine as you are as far as I'm concerned, or I can give
you something of mine to wear if it would make you feel more comfortable,"
said Jake.

      Justin started a little when he realized that Jake knew what he was
looking for, but then settled back into the bed when he realized the big
man didn't care. He thought for a few minutes and meekly asked, "Maybe a
t-shirt would be good. If you've got one."

      Jake left his food preparations and stepped over to dig through a
small plastic box.  After a few moments he straightened up and tossed a
bundle of cloth to Justin. He caught it and quickly pulled the grey t-shirt
over his head. It was big enough that Justin was swimming inside it, but at
least it was long enough that it covered his groin if he had to get up.

      Refocusing on his host, he studied Jake while he was busy
cooking. Justin knew he was younger than Jake, but he didn't think it was
by too much. Jake definitely had the advantage in size; he looked like an
ex-college football player who hadn't let himself go to seed. His muscles
were large, the biceps stretching the sleeves of his shirt showed that,
without being too much. Justin was most entranced by his butt though. It
had to be one of the nicest bubble butts he'd seen in a long time. Justin
was definitely a butt man too, he loved guys with tight asses. Of course
Justin knew Jake had to be straight, so this was all just jack-off material
for later, much later.

      Jake turned away from the wood stove he'd been cooking on with a
steaming plate in each hand. Walking over, he handed one to Justin. Jake
perched on the edge of the bed and ate slowly, while Justin practically
inhaled the plate of food. With a smile, Jake took the empty plate from
Justin's hand and handed him his own.

      "Here, eat up. I've had plenty and you are still recovering. Let me
take a look at your toes while you are finishing," said Jake.

      Justin took the plate without any questions, or hesitation, and
started eating his second breakfast. He gradually worked his toes out of
the blankets, suddenly concerned that somehow Jake would know just from his
toes that he was gay. He knew he couldn't survive the trip back to his
vehicle right now, and since his own family had rejected him why would he
expect some stranger to be more understanding. Justin flinched as the
examination started, but Jake was very gentle. Focusing on the food, he
emptied the plate before Jake was finished. Justin was relieved when he
stopped since his touch was having the same effect on his dick as waking up
next to Jake had earlier. Jake carefully tucked the blankets back around
Justin's feet and stepped back.

      "You were starting to get frostbite, it wouldn't have taken much more
and you would have lost a toe or two. But I think you're going to be fine,
you might have some blisters though so you need to stay off your feet for
the next few days. You don't want to pop the blisters," explained Jake.

      Justin wiggled his toes slowly, feeling a slight stiffness. "Ok, are
you a doctor or something?" asked Justin.

      Jake chuckled and shook his head. "No, I'm a microbiologist, but my
partner was a nurse so I know a thing or two about first aid."

      "Oh, well I'm glad she taught you some basic stuff. Otherwise I'll be
in trouble," said Justin slowly.

      "He," said Jake.

      "Excuse me?" said Justin.

      "You said 'she', my partner was a man. And he was a damn good nurse."

      Justin sat frozen in place for several long minutes, his mind racing
to put the pieces together. He finally realized that he'd been quiet an
uncomfortably long time and Jake was waiting for his reply. Sudden
completely at a loss for words, he blurted out the first thing on his mind.

      "I'm gay!" said Justin.

      Jake looked at him quietly, seeming to study him closely, shook his
head and smiled. "Well, I guess we can stop worrying about offending each
other because we're gay."

      "You're the first person I've told, well the first gay person, I'm
not queer or anything, just gay, no one else knows, well but my family, but
that didn't go well, but-"

      Jake stopped him by putting his meaty hand over Justin's mouth. "It's
ok, Justin. If you want to talk about it that's fine, but let it settle for
a while. I'll answer any questions you have, but I haven't been with many
men other than Scott. He was kinda the playboy in our relationship. Well
before our relationship, otherwise I would have decked him," said Jake with
a chuckle.

      Justin nodded his agreement and then felt Jake's hand pull away from
his face.  Jake paused for a minute and then nodded when Justin maintained
his silence.

      "Ok, then lets talk about last night. What in the world were you
doing driving around in that storm, and how did you find this cabin? I'm at
least 2 miles from the nearest road, and it's almost impassible," said
Jake.

      Justin nodded and made an audible gulp. Considering his words
carefully, he began to talk. "I ran off the road and the car was stuck in a
ditch, and I guess I got lost trying to get into town. The snow was so
deep, and I kept falling. I had almost given up when I saw the light in
your window and dragged myself toward it."

      Jake looked at Justin and folded his massive forearms in front of his
chest. When Justin finally met his eyes, Jake cocked one eyebrow and looked
at him again. "And?  What the rest of the story? Why were you out at all?"

      Justin dropped his eyes, staring at the floor and then letting out a
deep breath. "I was kicked out of the house. My parents said I was an
abomination and threw me out."

      Jake hovered for a minute and then sat on the side of the bed. He
hesitantly reached out and rubbed Justin's back. After a few minutes,
Justin continued "I've been out at college for several years. I never had
enough nerve to date anyone though. My parents are very strict Mormons, but
I thought it would be ok, that they'd understand. And I'll be graduating in
the spring, so I thought I'd come out over Christmas." Justin took a deep
breath and his body shook. Jake tried to comfort him as best he could, but
knew that he just needed to get the story out.

      Justin shuddered slightly and continued his story. "They both started
screaming at me. They said I was going to hell for having those thoughts. I
tried to talk to them, tried to give them some of the literature from
PFLAG, but that just made it worse. Dad grabbed a belt and started hitting
me with it. Then they said I had to leave, that I couldn't stay in their
house for one second longer. I guess I didn't move fast enough 'cause my
Dad grabbed me and threw me out the front door in just the t-shirt and
jeans I was wearing. I banged on the front door for a long time, but they
turned off the lights. My brothers and sisters must have heard the argument
too, because all of their bedrooms were dark. One of them threw me out a
pair of shoes, but that was it. Eventually, I realized they really weren't
going to let me back in, so I took my car and started back to school. The
snow was blowing so hard I could barely see, and I guess I missed a turn
and ended up in the ditch."

      Jake tried to think of something to say. His own coming out had been
years ago, and it had gone fairly well. His parents were very
supportive. Scott's family had not accepted his announcement, and they
never had reconciled before Scott was killed. As he was working through to
something comforting to say, Kody walked over, stuck his nose in Justin's
armpit, and inhaled deeply. Justin gave Jake a slightly horrified look, and
Jake burst out laughing.

      "Yeah, he does that sometime. I don't know if it's a greeting, a
chemical test, or if he gets off on pits," said Jake.

      Justin chuckled then reached over and scratched Kody under the
chin. Kody let out a small whine of pleasure, and laid his head on the bed
beside Justin. As the two of them got better acquainted, Jake cleaned up
and stowed everything away. When he finished, he saw that Justin was
yawning and his eyes looked like his lids were lead weighted.

      "Justin, get some sleep. It's still snowing pretty hard out there so
I'm just going to read for awhile anyway," Jake said, holding up his reader
as proof of his activity.

      Justin nodded and wiggled back into the blankets. His soft snores
were soon proof of his exhaustion.

      <><><><>

      Jake had been quietly reading for the entire morning, but his stomach
was starting to grumble and he knew Justin would wake up soon with a
voracious appetite. Standing, he stretched, his back popping softly as his
body resumed its full height. Walking over to a cooler he kept to one side,
Jake quietly opened it and did a quick inventory of their food.  Jake knew
they would need supplies in a few days since there was no way Justin was
going to be able to make the hike to the SUV until he had recovered. He'd
already checked the weather forecast on his radio, and knew another big
storm was coming in 48 hours from now, so he'd have to make a trip to town
soon.

      Pulling out some bratwurst, Jake started browning them. Grabbing a
few other ready-to-eat items, Jake had shortly put together a decent lunch
for the two of them. He walked over and gently shook Justin. When Justin's
only response was an unhappy grunt, Jake shook him again. This time he got
a groan of acknowledgment, and Justin sat up in the bed.

      "I made lunch," said Jake.

      At that announcement, Justin's stomach let out a loud growl and both
men chuckled. Justin scooted to the edge of the bed, swung his legs over
the edge and his feet to the floor. As he pushed himself into a standing
position, pain shot through this lower body and he fell back onto the bed.

      "Oh fuck!" said Justin through clenched teeth. Realizing what he had
just said he reddened. "Sorry, that kind of slipped out."

      Jake chuckled softly, "Don't sweat it. Sometime things slip out of my
mouth too.  Let me take a look at your feet."

      Jake pulled over a chair and lifted the young man's feet to inspect
them. As he looked over first one foot and then the other, the t-shirt
slipped off Justin crotch, revealing his soft cock and tight ball
sack. Jake tried to ignore the sight before him, but for the first time
since losing Scott, he was feeling a physical attraction to someone.
Snapping himself back to the task at hand, he pushed Justin back on the bed
and shook his head.

      "The blisters are fairly big, so you need to stay off them as much as
possible. I'm afraid you're stuck in the bed for the next few days."

      "Sorry, I know I'm ruining your vacation," said Justin, dropping his
head.

      "Nope. You're not ruining anything. I come up here because Scott was
killed around Christmas. So I can avoid the memories in our house, I built
this place the first Christmas after . . . after it happened. So Scott was
never here, but there are a few things of his I've brought up over the past
few years," said Jake.

      "Well, I'm at least in the way. This cabin is, kinda cozy for two
people," said Justin.

      Jake chuckled and smirked a little at Justin. "Depends on how cozy
the two people are."

      Jake grabbed one of the filled plates and held it out to
Justin. Taking it carefully, Justin was soon eating with relish. Jake
smiled to himself, enjoying the youthful exuberance of his guest. As he
watched Justin clean his plate, Jake was drawn to the slender young man in
front of him. The t-shirt that he had loaned him was far too big, looking
like a skirt on Justin, but it somehow fit the innocent charm of the
youngster perfectly. Jake again got that comforting feeling that he had not
felt for years. Jake had always recognized that Scott wouldn't want him to
stop living because of his death, but Jake had been numb inside for so long
that he had just accepted the fact that he would never find a person to be
with again. Justin had him rethinking his assumptions of how his life would
go. Jake suddenly realized what he was doing, and slammed down on his
emotions. He refused to take part in any romantic daydreaming with a
20-something virgin. It just wasn't going to happen.

      Jake was rather quickly brought out of his woolgathering by a wet
lick across the back of his hand, followed quickly by a wet nose bouncing
under it. Jake chuckled and reached down to scratch Kody behind the ears.

      "Are you needing some attention, Kody? Is Justin getting all of
Daddy's attention?" said Jake as he ruffled his Husky's thick fur.

      "He's beautiful," said Justin.

      "He's a pain in the behind is what he is. But he puts up with me and
my moods, so I guess that makes us even." Jake looked around the room,
noting a few things they would need if the two of them were spending a week
at the cabin to give Justin time to heal. Having decided what staples they
needed, he turned to check his backpack and started dressing for the
trip. Without a thought, Jake sat on the edge of the bed to pull on his
gaiters, with Justin scurrying to the opposite corner to stay out of his
way.

      Innocently, Jake reached over and grabbed Justin's bare shoulder and
squeezed it.  "Sorry, dude. I forget how big I am sometimes."

      Justin smiled slightly and shook his head, "You look like a perfect
size to me."  Immediately realizing what he had said, Justin blushed
crimson, and Jake chuckled slight at his discomfort. Without further
comment, Jake finished dressing and was soon standing beside the door.

      "I'll only be gone a few hours, I'll be back before nightfall. I just
want to make sure we don't get stranded without food if a blizzard comes
through. I'll leave Kody to keep you company, and you need your rest
anyway."

      "Ok," said Justin, "Just be careful."

      Jake gave Justin a slightly sad smile, knowing the kid couldn't have
known that was the same instructions Scott gave him each time he left the
house. Turning quickly, Jake slipped on his snowshoes and headed out the
door.

      <><><><>

      The snow had been deeper than he'd thought. Jake was glad he'd
invested in a new pair of snowshoes at the beginning of the season, and
that he was in shape for some rigorous snowshoeing. But he'd made it back
to the SUV, easily dug it out and made it to town. It was a typical tiny
up-north hamlet, but it had everything Jake needed.

      He made a few passes up and down the aisles of the small mom & pop
grocery store, trying to guess what Justin might like. Finally realizing he
was acting like he was shopping for an important date, Jake laughed at
himself and his constant habit of over planning. With that acknowledgment,
he quickly finished his shopping and packed his purchases in the SUV.

      As he headed out of town, he passed the small local
pharmacy. Realizing he hadn't gotten anything for Justin's frostbite, he
quickly wheeled into the snow-covered parking lot. Inside, he perused the
aisles to find what he needed. Picking up the typical antibiotic creams and
gels, Jake realized he had inadvertently ended up in the family planning
section. Looking at the selection, he sighed at his foolish optimism that
some young kid would be having the same fluttering for an old guy as Jake
was having for him.  But his preemptive nature soon won out and he grabbed
a box of condoms from the shelf and tossed them in the basket along with a
tube of lubricant. Shaking his head at himself and chuckling again, Jake
figured these condoms would dry up before he used them, but he was prepared
. . . just in case.

      <><><><>

      Justin woke up slowly, drifting in that wonderful place between sleep
and awake.  This day so far had been amazing, considering that he thought
he was going to die last night, he couldn't believe his change of
luck. Part of the reason Justin was still a virgin was just fear, he was
afraid of falling for someone and finding out he was straight, but a bigger
part was he'd found a lot of guys who he thought were cute, but never
anyone who made his heart sing. The guys his age were more interested in
drinking and screwing than anything else, and while Justin wasn't opposed
to either of those, he wanted something more. He knew that Jake would never
have feelings for a lanky kid like himself, but he could still
fantasize. And the shoulder that Jake had grabbed was still tingling in
delight from the touch.

      Justin started as he felt something large jump on the bed beside him,
immediately realizing it was Kody. The panting dog was sniffing across and
through the bedding, until Justin was laughing and trying to push him
away. The struggle continued for a few more minutes until Kody finally
relented and jumped to the floor. Justin fought to sit back upright, and
then looked at Kody's inquisitive face.

      "Oh man! I really gotta pee!" said Justin.

      Justin tossed the covers off and threw his feet over the edge of the
bed. Carefully putting the majority of his weight on his heels, he gingerly
walked across the small room and pulled out the bucket. Standing quietly,
his strong stream arched into the bucket as he sighed in relief. Shaking
the last drops from his dick, he quickly stored everything back where it
belonged, and was slowly making his way back to the bed when Kody
intercepted him. The dog looked at Justin, then stepped in and stuck his
wet, cold nose right under Justin's balls.

      "Holy shit! Don't do that!" squealed Justin as the cold shrunk his
genitals.

      Kody trotted off a foot or two and seemed to smirk at Justin as he
struggled the last few feet to the bed. Just as Justin was covering
himself, Kody erupted into a series of growls and barking that startled
Justin.

      "Shut up, Kody! You damn well know it's me!" came from outside the
cabin as Jake stepped onto the small porch.

      Justin pulled the coverings over and around him, making a warm cocoon
against the cold that was about to invade his warm space. As he covered the
last spot of exposed skin, the door popped open to a snow covered Jake who
struggled to get into the door while Kody circled his feet feverishly.
"Kody! Calm down, I'm here. Chill out." Turning to Justin, he
smiled. "Feeling better?"

      "Yeah, they're a lot better. I managed to use the bucket a few
minutes ago and it wasn't too bad." Justin got a crooked smile, "Except
Kody sticking his nose in my crotch."

      Jake roared with laughter. "He does tend to do that a lot. When Scott
was alive Kody drove him crazy sticking his nose under his nut sack anytime
he found him naked."  Jake turned and quickly tucked away the food that
he'd gotten, leaving everything else in the backpack. He quickly pulled out
two steaks and set them into a pan he'd been heating.  Soon the tiny room
was filled with the aroma of seared steak. Flipping the beef, he quickly
filled two plates with a few items he had picked up. Soon the meat was
cooked to the degree of doneness he wanted, and he carefully moved each
steak to the already full plates.

      Turning from the stove, Jake handed one of the plates to Justin then
balanced himself on the edge of the bed. They both ate with single-minded
focus and soon both plates were cleaned. Justin tried to sneak his plate to
Kody for a final polishing, but when Jake snorted quietly at the noise, he
knew he was busted. More importantly, when Jake's plate joined his, he knew
it didn't matter.

      Jake soon had the dishes cleaned and was preparing for night. To
Justin it seemed as if the wind was blowing even harder, which Jake soon
confirmed.

      "There's another storm coming in tonight. The weather station said it
could get to blizzard intensity. If it's that bad we might be stuck here
for a few days, but I got plenty of food for us."

      Justin nodded, not certain what to say since he was largely helpless
in this situation. His clothes were dry, but unable to walk he hadn't even
bothered to get to them and take off Jake's shirt. Actually, he was still
very much enjoying the smell of Jake on the shirt as he wore it.

      Once Jake had closed the shutters on the one window, he came back to
the bed with a couple of magazines in one hand, and his reader in the
other. He tossed the magazines to the bed beside Justin.

      "I thought you might like something to read, so I grabbed a couple of
magazines while I was out. There isn't much to do at night here except
read," said Jake.

      Justin nodded and snuggled down into the bed again, moving so there
was ample light from the kerosene lamp. Jake stripped down to his
underwear, and crawled in bed beside Justin. The evening passed quietly as
the two of them read and occasionally shared something they found. As the
wind picked up, howling around the small shelter, the warmth soon had
Justin relaxed and sleepy. When he gave another massive yawn in less than a
handful of minutes, Jake turned off his book.

      "I think you're ready for some sleep, and I'm tired too. Lets get
some shuteye," said Jake.

      Justin nodded sleepily and handed the magazines to Jake. Wiggling
down into the bed he soon found himself snuggled against Jake's warm
body. Justin kept drifting off, only to be awakened by Jake moving
again. After several times, Justin finally asked, "What's wrong?"

      "Well, normally I don't sleep in anything," said Jake.

      "So why are you wearing them tonight? I don't care, it isn't like we
haven't slept together without clothes already," Justin said with a sleepy
chuckle.

      Without another word, Jake quickly stripped and tossed his underwear
beside the bed. Wiggling back into the warm blankets he was soon nestled
into the bed. Justin snuggled back against his warm backside, feeling very
content. Jake smiled silently when he heard the soft snore coming from
behind him, and quickly fell asleep feeling very content for the first time
in a long time.

      <><><><>

      Jake woke the next morning feeling a vaguely familiar sensation on
his butt as he drifted awake. After a few moments he recognized it as an
urgently hard cock pressed between his butt cheeks. Enjoying the sensation
that at one time had been very familiar; he relaxed and appreciated the
feeling of long lost intimacy. But the feeling of satisfaction was fleeting
when he awoke enough to realize that Justin was probably asleep, and didn't
realize he was humping Jake's ass. Very softly he called out, "Justin?"

      "Yeah?" came back the sleepy reply.

      "Babe, your morning wood is a little busy . . ."

      There was a brief pause, followed almost immediately by a loud squeak
as Justin pulled his cock away from Jake.

      "Oh god! I'm so sorry! Please! Oh god, I'm so so sorry. I was
dreaming, and -"

      Justin froze as he tried to collect his thoughts. Feeling very
confused between his raging hormones and terrible guilt at what he'd done
to Jake. Part of him was on the verge of tears, while another was furious
at the situation that he was thrust into. His emotions were still warring
as he felt the bed shift and Jake turned to look at him.

      "Calm down, Justin. You were asleep and dreaming. You're a young guy
and I'm sure you have desires. I know I'm too old for you, so don't think
anything of it," said Jake calmly.

      "No," said Justin almost in a whisper.

      "No?" said Jake.

      "No, you are not too old for me. I thought I was too much of a kid
for you."

      Jake looked at him and smiled, "This sounds like the x-rated version
of the old 'assume' joke." When Justin just got a confused look on his
face, Jake just shook his head.  "Never mind, but now the question is, what
do you want to do? We're both wide awake so we don't have the 'I was asleep
and didn't know' card anymore."

      Justin looked deep into Jake's blue eyes, torn between terror and
ecstasy. He was unable to decide, not knowing what to do now.

      "We don't have to do anything. It's up to you," said Jake quietly as
he stretched his arm, exposing the plentiful hair exploding from his
armpit.

      Justin inhaled the scent from Jake's pits, and sighed. Deciding this
was what was fated; he finally whispered, "Can we kiss?"

      Jake chuckled, then gently took Justin's face in his hands. Moving
closer, he stopped a few inches from Justin's lips and inhaled deeply. The
morning smells of the young man were surprisingly pleasant, awakening
feelings in Jake that he'd thought had died with Scott. Refocusing on the
young man he was holding, he studied Justin's face carefully. His dark hair
and eyebrows, combined with his chiseled jaw and slight dimple were
charming and sexy to Jake. His nose could only be described as pert, but
his lips, Justin's lips were so very red and kissable. Closing the last
inches, Jake pressed his lips against Justin's, and to his delight he found
they were every bit as kissable as he'd imagined.

      As they separated, Justin gasped for breath as he tried to recover
from his first kiss with another man. The soft lips, the scratchy rough
beard, the slight masculine smell, everything about it was perfect. The hot
touch of Jake's lips on his own had surged through his system and his cock
was again hard and throbbing. His mind was reeling as he realized Jake was
waiting for him to speak. Unable to form an entire sentence he gasped out.

      "More, please!"

      Jake cupped his chin, running his thumb across Justin's dark morning
scruff.  Leaning back slightly, he pulled his t-shirt over Justin's head
and dropped it to the floor.  He leaned in again and kissed Justin. This
time it wasn't a simple kiss, Jake let the heat he was feeling enter the
kiss, their lips pressing hard against each other. Suddenly Justin opened
his lips slightly and his tongue darted out to touch Jake's lips before
escaping back to Justin's mouth. Jake took that as permission for more, and
drove his tongue into Justin's mouth. Soon the two of them were kissing
with intensity and passion that had Justin's head spinning. Suddenly he
felt Jake's finger run down the middle of his chest.  The touch left a
trail of fire where it passed and Justin's passion rapidly reached the
point of no return.

      "No. Stop. Oh god," gasped out Justin.

      Jake immediately jumped back. "Sorry, Justin. I didn't mean to go too
far."

      Justin started a twittering laugh, "No, it was amazing and I want to
do more. But I was about to nut."

      With a smile Jake spread his massive hand across Justin's chest and
ran it up to his nipples. "That's fine. I'm sure you will recharge in no
time." With that Jake leaned in and sucked one of Justin's nipples between
his lips and licked it gently. His hand slid down Justin's quivering body,
exposing its gorgeous length. As he flipped the last blanket from Justin's
groin, his hard cock jumped into view, a thick strand of precum running
from his slit to his pubic hair. Moving his hand back up Justin's body,
Jake started rubbing his finger over Justin's hard nipples as their lips
again found each other.

      Their tongues were soon fighting for supremacy as Justin barreled
toward a long overdue orgasm. His body began strong rippling contractions
as he felt his cum race from his full balls. Trying to warn Jake, he
managed only a grunt and gasp before the first strong shot exploded from
his cock, leaving a line of white cum from his cheek, down his neck and
across his smooth torso. Jake continued kissing him passionately as
Justin's body thrashed under him leaving a crisscross of translucent cum
covering Justin's torso.  His orgasm buried him under new and amazing
sensations as the overwhelming pleasure continued to roll over
him. Eventually the last pulse erupted from his hard cock, leaving a pool
of semen covering his groin. As his muscles released, Justin's body melted
against the bed as he gasped for air. Jake touched him gently, slowly
tracing patterns over his chest.

      "Oh god, I've never come that hard. It was amazing," sighed Justin.

      Jake leaned in and gave Justin another soft kiss. "Good, that's the
best thing you could have said." Jake moved close to Justin and almost
licked one of the many trails of cum over his face before he remembered
this was not Scott lying under him. Grabbing the discarded t-shirt, Jake
quickly wiped Justin clean.

      Justin relaxed against Jake's large frame, feeling very
content. Suddenly he realized only one of them had gotten off. "Hey! You
didn't get your nut yet. I want to get you off too. Like you did me."

      Jake let out another deep chuckle and rubbed his hand over Justin's
exposed back.  "I'm afraid I'm too old to get off on just nipple play and
kissing, but it felt really good."

      Justin twisted in Jake's arms until their faces were almost
touching. Justin rubbed his smooth torso against Jake's hairy chest, loving
the texture of Jake's curly hair against his skin. Justin ran his fingers
down Jake's chest, tugging at his thick public hair. Jake let out a sigh as
his achingly hard cock flexed from the stimulation. Justin looked up at
Jake, who nodded his permission. With that acknowledgment, Justin's slender
fingers slipped deeper into his dark bush, taking the base of his throbbing
cock and caressing it slowly.

      Justin fondled him seductively, feeling the slight corrugation of
Jake's rock hard cock. His hand slowly teased its way up the length of
Jake's thick cock until he reached the skin-covered tip. Justin smiled at
the loose foreskin he had found and quickly buried his finger inside,
running his finger through the accumulation of precum. Justin tugged and
stroked Jake's foreskin for several minutes as he explored, enjoying the
added dimension. Eventually he gripped it lightly and pulled back the long
soft skin covering.  Justin was fascinated as it slithered wetly down
Jake's thick cock, revealing the dark head of his dick. Rubbing his finger
over Jake's piss slit, Justin coated his finger with more
precum. Mesmerized, Justin started to lean in to taste this glistening
tower of manhood, when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

      "Let's wait on oral, babe. Ok?" said Jake in deep tones.

      Justin nodded, not sure if he'd made a misstep, or not. But then
moving his head back to Jake's chest and he flicked his tongue over Jake's
hard nipple as he slowly stroked his iron hard cock. Justin wanted more so
badly, but he was trying to not rush Jake into anything, he realized that
he was falling for the ruggedly handsome man. Soon he heard moans of
pleasure as Jake's body tensed under him.

      "Oh god! Oh god! Fuck! I'm coming!" said Jake through the moans.

      Justin released Jake's nipple and tightened his grip as he jacked
him. He wanted to watch this massive cock explode from his
handling. Quickly Jake's moans escalated, then his hips flexed up and
locked.

      "Oh! Oh! Ahh! Fuck!" screamed Jake.

      The first jet caught Justin across the cheek and he jerked back. He
continued jerking the rapidly firing cock as Jake emptied his
load. Numerous lines of thick white cum soon decorated Jake's chest as his
cock shot again and again. Justin pulled the foreskin over the tip and held
it tight as the last of Jake's orgasm ballooned it with semen.  As the last
ripple of orgasm passed through Jake's body, Justin released the skin and
watched with fascination as it slowly opened, releasing the trapped cum to
slowly drip off Jake's softening cock and into his thick bush. Running his
hand across Jake's torso, he smeared the trails of cum over Jake's hairy
body. Justin slowly touched and worked semen over Jake as he enjoyed the
post-orgasm closeness of his first sexual experience.  Jake simply watched
and smiled, content to let Justin experience it however he wanted, knowing
it would be a memory that would be with him forever.

      Eventually Jake's chest hair was matted with jizz, and Justin looked
up with a sheepish smile.

      "Sorry, I guess I just got lost in the moment," said Justin as his
face reddened slightly.

      Jake lifted his chin and kissed his lips gently. "You're
fine. Whatever you want is ok with me. This is all new to you, so whatever
you want to try, we'll try."

      Justin smiled and nodded, "I want to try everything, but maybe not
right now."

      Jake let out a belly laugh and nodded, "Not unless you're wanting to
kill an old man. I don't have your stamina."

      Justin kissed Jake's cheek and shook his head, "I'm sure you could be
ready just as quick as I can."

      Jake reached down and gripped Justin's already resurrected cock and
squeezed its hard length in his hand while Justin sucked air between his
teeth. "I don't think so, stud.  You're already hard and ready for round
two. But how about we get some breakfast and check those feet before we
ravish each other again."

      Justin smiled in agreement, ready to do whatever Jake wanted.

      <><><><>

      Having finished breakfast, Jake moved to check the condition of
Justin's feet. He carefully inspected them, prodding at them in a few place
and was pleased to find nothing particularly tender. Looking up he smiled
at Justin.

      "Looks like they're about healed. Wanna go out and get a little
practice with the snowshoes?" said Jake.

      Justin perked up at the idea he could leave the tiny cabin, even if
it was only for a short walk. "Sure! That sounds great. I wouldn't mind
getting out for a little bit."

      Justin threw off the covers and swung his feet to the floor before he
remembered that he was completely naked. He started blushing, then realized
that there was very little that Jake hadn't already seen of his body, but
he did need his clothes if they were going out.

      "Umm, I need my jeans and stuff."

      Jake chucked and pulled the dried clothing together and tossed it to
Justin. "Don't worry about the shocks and shoes. I think we're about the
same size so you can wear a pair of my wool socks and an old pair of hiking
boots," said Jake.

      Justin pulled on the clothing as Jake quickly retrieved the socks and
shoes. As he sat them down, Jake realized that Justin still needed a coat,
so he went rummaging. The only thing he found was an old wool coat of
Scott's that Jake had brought to the cabin.  That first Christmas after the
accident, Jake had slept with it every night. He looked at it closely,
thinking about its significance, and realized that it wasn't Scott, it was
just a memory cue. But he still handled the coat gently as he set it beside
Justin.

      Soon they were both bundled against the cold, with several more
borrowed items completing Justin's wardrobe. Jake helped him fasten the
spare snowshoes onto his boots, and they headed out the door. Jake strode
across the open space without a backward look, until he heard a soft gasp
as Justin got the shoes tangled and fell face first into the powdery
snow. Jake let out a soft laugh and turned back to help. Grabbing Justin's
hand, Jake pulled him to his feet.

      "Come on. It's pretty easy, but we'll practice in the yard for a few
minutes before we had hit the trail," said Jake.

      Justin nodded as he tried to wipe the snow from his face with the
oversized mittens that Jake had given him. Once he was on his feet he
watched as Jake gave him a lesson in using snowshoes, and Justin quickly
caught onto the technique.

      The next few hours were spent in relative quiet as Jake shared the
sights of his part of the forest with Justin. They proceeded slowly;
wanting to be sure Justin didn't over-tax himself. But Justin was in awe of
the spectacular scenery and kept stopping Jake to see a new marvel that he
had discovered. The winter sun was out and turned the world into a
crystalline encased wonder for them both. Jake had walked this trail many
times, but he was enjoying Justin's fresh wonder at the sights. When they
reached the turn around point, Jake brushed the snow from the trunk of a
fallen tree and motioned for Justin to sit beside him. They both gobbled
down the trail mix that Jake had put together, with Justin eagerly looking
at the world, and Jake looking at Justin.

      "Justin?" said Jake.

      Justin turned with a smile, "Yeah?"

      "So how are you feeling about what happened this morning. If you want
to talk about it or if you have any questions . . ." Jake trailed off.

      Justin thought for a second, then smiled at Jake, "Can we do it
again?"

      Jake let out a chuckle, "Yes, if that's what you want. But if it made
you feel bad, then don't think you have to do anything else."

      Justin paused for a moment as he reflected. "No, I think what my
parents did was wrong. If it weren't for you I would have died. I think
this morning was wonderful. I've never felt so safe and cared for in my
life."

      "Ok, well I know I'm a lot older than you so I don't want you to feel
like you have any kind of obligation to me," said Jake softly.

      Justin shot him a dejected look and hung his head, "Ok . . ."

      Jake's brows knitted together as he looked at the boy. Finally
reaching down, he cupped Justin's chin in his palm and turned Justin to
look at him. "Look Justin. I was just being realistic. I'm sure you'll want
someone closer to your own age."

      Justin finally looked up and met his eyes. "No, you are so incredibly
sexy and I love how I feel when you touch me. No hipster, twenty-one year
old is going to make me feel the same way. If you don't want to be with me
I'll live, but I want to be with you more all the time."

      Jake gave Justin a kiss and a gentle smile. Without another word, he
split the rest of the food and started nibbling while they were studying
the area. As the last morsel slid down his throat, Jake brushed his hands
off on his pants and then stood. Looking over at Justin he grinned, "Wanna
race?"

      <><><><>

      Jake was leaning against the post on the porch panting for
breath. Justin had been more of a challenge than he'd expected in the race
back to the house, and now he was trying to recover. Just as he turned to
see if Justin had recovered, a snowball splattered against his
jacket. Turning quickly, he saw Justin laughing as he raced around the
cabin.  Jake chased after him, only to be rewarded with another snowball to
the forehead. A full out war quickly ensued that left Jake the clear and
distinctive, loser.

      As he lay gasping for air again, this time in a snow bank, he turned
to Justin.  "How in the hell are you making snowballs from powder! Mine are
just falling the fuck apart!"

      Justin reached down and grabbed a small handful of snow, and breathed
into it.  The combination of warm wet breath glued the particles
together. Justin playfully tossed the little snowball at Jake.

      "Well crap. Ok, well as soon as I can dig my way out of this snow, we
can go clean up for dinner."

      Justin offered Jake a hand then tugged the larger man to his
feet. They slowly walked to the cabin feeling very connected. Opening the
door, they stowed their snowshoes beside it then continued inside. While
Justin stripped off his wet clothes, Jake grabbed another bucket and went
back outside to pack it with icicles from the roof's edge.  Coming back in
he sat the bucket as close to the heater as he dare to let the ice melt.
Stepping beside Justin, Jake was quickly stripped and was rustling through
yet another storage area. Pulling out a washcloth he turned to Justin.

      "Well, finish stripping. We need to clean up, we stink to the high
heavens," said Jake with a smile. Justin quickly shed the last of his
clothes and sat on the bed in the warm room, watching the hottest man he'd
ever seen walk a few feet from him, completely nude and looking really
sexy. He was focused completely on Jake's hairy bubble butt as he mixed the
ice and hot water into a washbasin. Once he was satisfied with the
temperature, he turned and looked at Justin.

      "You want to clean up first?" asked Jake.

      Justin spread his legs, exposing his continually hard cock and
smiled. "Why don't you wash me, then I'll wash you."

      Jake smiled at Justin's sudden forward behavior, but the idea of
washing each other sounded really good to Jake. Walking between Justin's
spread legs, he slowly and carefully started washing this new man in his
life. While he explored and touched the sexy smooth college boy, who was
mewing and writhing under him, Jake paid careful attention to Justin's
nipples, stopping each time he thought Justin was getting close. The only
dark side to his exploration was finding the bruised welts that still
faintly crisscrossed his body from his fathers beating. Jake put his anger
aside and refocused on the handsome youngster under his hands. Jake
carefully ran the warm wet cloth over Justin's face and neck; then, he
leaned in and kissed him softly.

      "Turn over, babe. I need to get your backside," said Jake with a
smile, looking forward to getting to explore this young man's ass. Justin
slowly rolled over, moaning as he tried to ratchet his overloaded senses
down. He groaned as he lay face down on the bed, feeling very safe, even in
his exposed position. Justin sighed as the cloth began traveling over his
back. The lower it got, the more he anticipated the first touch on his ass.
He was involuntarily clenching and releasing his butt, eager for Jake's
touch. Just as the cloth was about to slide over his ass cheeks, Jake
stopped. Looking back with a moan of disappointment, he saw a smile on
Jake's face as he carefully washed Justin's feet, checking them briefly
before he moved to his ankles and began moving up his legs. As the warm
cloth cleaned Justin's calves, a soft moan came from his throat. When Jake
stroked across Justin's inner thighs, he had to wave Jake to stop before he
came from the wonderful sensations.

      Finally, Justin relaxed against the bed and signaled Jake to continue
with a loud exaltation of air. As the cloth hit his lightly haired ass
cheeks, Justin shuddered from the sensuous cleansing. Immediately Justin
knew he wouldn't last. Trying every distraction technique he could think
of, he lasted beyond Jake's big hands rubbing the cloth over his butt
cheeks. But when a single cloth-wrapped finger slid down his ass crack, and
over his butt hole, Justin lost control.

      With a gasping squeal, Justin plunged headfirst into his orgasm, as
he felt Jake press harder against his clenching hole, getting just the tip
inside. His body contracted as the first wad of cum hit the bed. Unable to
control himself, Justin was bucking under Jake's prodding fingers while his
body exploded with the sensations of amazing sex.  More quickly than he
would have liked, his orgasm ended and Justin was lying in a puddle of his
own cum, gasping for air.

      Jake leaned down, kissed the nape of his neck and whispered in his
ear. "You ready to wash me?"

      Justin nodded weakly, but then rebounded at the thoughts of free rein
to touch and explore this stunningly handsome man. Turning, he took the
washcloth and rinsed it carefully before beginning. He started with Jake's
face, carefully running it over his cheek while caressing it with his
fingertips. As he washed around each ear, he ran his tongue along the
outside edge and kissed the lobe. He moved down Jake's neck, lovingly
washing the hollow on each side of his shoulders before leaning in to kiss
his Adam's apple. As he moved down Jake's chest, Justin tried to remember
every porn scene he'd watched, every erotic story he'd read, trying to make
this experience memorable for Jake.

      But as he lifted Jake's arms to wash the dense hair of his pits,
Justin didn't need instructions. His primal instincts took over and his
hands grabbed Jake's shoulder has he buried his face in the warm, masculine
crevasse. He licked, sucked and bit in the deep recess until it was wet and
dripping spit. Panting with desire, Justin moved to the other side and
repeated his performance, perfecting some moves from what he had done
seconds before.

      Sighing as he refocused on his task, Justin carefully washed Jake's
torso. The cloth skimmed over the hair covering his flat belly, then glided
to his faint, but clearly defined, Adonis belt. Following the crease lower,
Justin quickly found himself in the wiry pubes of his lover. Justin knelt
before Jake and washed his balls with excruciating care, taking his now
hard cock in his fist, he peeled back the long foreskin and carefully
washed the head. By the time he had finished, Jake's cock was hard as a
rock and leaking precum in a solid stream.

      Justin moved to his thighs and enjoyed going over each millimeter of
skin as he explored the hair covered muscles. Jake was panting with lust,
his legs spread wide by the time Justin finished with them. Standing behind
him, Justin pushed Jake onto the bed and chuckled.

      "Time for me to clean this last bit, Jake. Damn, you are so fuck'n
hot!" said Justin.

      Jake smiled at the profanity that had slipped from Justin, but moved
to the bed in a daydream of lust. Lying across it, Jake spread his legs as
far as the space allowed, exposing his rosebud for Justin's examination.

      Justin moved in closer and began working on what he thought was
Jake's single most attractive feature, his ass. He carefully cleaned it;
over and over again he wiped its melon shape with great care. Once he had
finished with the lightly furred butt, Justin carefully cracked open his
ass cheeks, seeing Jake's hairy trough and winking red hole.  Pushing the
damp cloth into his crack, he teased Jake the same way Jake had teased him,
with the same result. Soon Jake was moaning and thrashing on the bed under
him. Again the circumstances overwhelmed Justin and he was drawn to perform
the one act he had never seen the appeal of, but he suddenly, desperately,
wanted to rim Jake.

      Justin dropped the cloth in the basin and again knelt behind
Jake. Forcing his muscular ass cheeks apart, Justin tentatively leaned in
and licked over his puckered hole.  It had none of the unpleasantness that
Justin had been concerned about. In fact, the act itself almost sent Jake
through the roof, which was reason enough to repeat it. Soon the air was
laden with pheromones and both men were gasping and pawing as lust overtook
them. As Justin ate Jake's ass like a seasoned pro, Jake knew he finally
wanted it again, needing it from his young lover, he needed to be fucked.

      "Fuck me," whimpered Jake, "Please Justin. Take your fat cock and
fuck me!"

      Justin rocked back, unprepared for this turn of events. In his
wildest fantasy he'd never imagined that he would ever fuck Jake. He was
just too masculine, too much the quintessential top. But his bubble-butted
wet dream was lying beneath him, begging to be nailed. Justin was trying to
formulate words as Jake looked back and regained a little composure.

      "It's ok if you don't want to, but god you have me so horny,
babe. That rim job was amazing and I'd really love to be your first fuck,"
explained Jake.

      Justin grinned and nodded. "Yeah, I'm so horny. I want a piece of
your ass.  But . . ."

      Jake chuckled, "I bought supplies . . . in case something
happened. And I'll tell you what to do. It's been a long time so you'll
need to get me ready for your fat dick. Go look in the backpack, there are
some condoms and lube."

      Justin leaped up, grabbed the bag and quickly rifled through it and
found what they needed. As he stepped back, Jake turned and took the condom
box from him and removed one. Ripping it open, he unrolled it down the
length of Justin's raging hard cock.  Noticing Justin's flushed skin and
heavy breathing, he knew that neither of them was going to last long, but
it was going to be wonderful.

      "Take the lube and coat my hole really well, then slowly push one
finger inside me. Once that feels like it's loosening, add a second
one. Eventually you'll get a third finger in and then I'll be loose
enough. It might take a little while, like I said it's been years since
I've had sex with anyone. Just take your time, and it'll be amazing for
both of us," explained Jake.

      Jake moved to his knees, presenting his ass for Justin to
explore. His breath sucked in as Justin's finger slid over his hole,
coating it with the slick gel. After a few passes, Justin slowly slid his
finger into Jake, pushing with a steady pressure until it was completely
buried inside. Jake was overwhelmed by the sensations, pressing his face
into the bed as his ass was loosened for a fucking that he needed more and
more with each passing second.

      Justin carefully added a second finger, feeling the tightness of
Jake's inner portal as he worked to stretch it. The heat and scents coming
from Jake's ass were almost overpowering as Justin got him ready. As Jake
relaxed, Justin slipped in a third finger and then slowly pushed them home.

      "Oh god, Justin. That feels fucking wonderful. Fuck me, babe. I need
your cock so bad, fuck me hard!"

      Justin let his fingers slide out and stood mesmerized by Jake's
dilating hole for several moments. Then he coated his latex encased cock
with a thick layer of lube.  Standing behind Jake, he ran the head up and
down the trough of his ass, then pressed his swollen cockhead against
Jake's hole. Leaning against it, Jake's gut slowly relaxed until Justin
slipped inside. Feeling the constraint of the second portal, Justin
repeated his performance and was soon pressing deep inside of Jake. As his
dark pubes ground against Jake's butt, a huge groan erupted from Jake.

      "Oh, god yes. Fuck me fuck me fuck me. Oh holy hell!" moaned Jake.

      Justin pulled almost out, then slowly pushed back inside. The condom
was helping him last, but Jake's hot, tight ass was proving too
much. Knowing he wouldn't hold out much longer, he left any pretext of
being an experienced lover and grabbed Jake's hips and started pounding
him. Soon their grunts and moans were filling the room.  So loud in fact
that Kody groaned and covered his face with his tail.

      Justin fucked Jake with all the force his slender body could muster,
and Jake enjoyed it. But with a final slam, the crescendo hit Justin and
his body started pumping the condom full of cream. He thrashed and tried to
push back into Jake, but succeeded only in sending his body into
convulsions from the sensations of lust. Soon Justin was spent, his third
ejaculation of the day actually exhausting his reserves. With a final
shudder, he collapsed across Jake's back.

      Jake moved slowly, feeling Justin's cock gradually slipping from
inside him.  Turning under Justin, he soon had the youngster in his arms,
kissing him tenderly.

      "That was amazing, you were amazing. I almost came from you fucking
me.  Damn, it was so good, babe," whispered Jake.

      Justin looked up with a single tear rolling down his face. "Fuck
me. Please."

      Jake reached up and wiped the tear from his face. "Why the tears?
What's wrong?"

      "Nothings wrong. It's just that I've never felt this cared about. I
really want you to have my virginity."

      "Have you ever . . . put anything up there?" said Jake.

      Justin blushed a charming crimson. "Yeah, my fingers, a lot. And I
ordered a couple of toys online too. I like it, but I want the real thing."

      "I'd love that, Justin. We'll go at your speed, and we can stop
anytime if you want to quit," said Jake as he caressed Justin's face.

      With a smile Justin handed Jake a condom, the lube and crouched on
the bed with his ass in the air.

      Jake moved behind Justin on the bed, leaned forward and opened
Justin's ass cheeks. Leaning in, he inhaled the odor of man sex and
youth. He ran his hot tongue over Justin's exposed hole, eliciting a
rumbling groan from Justin. Smiling to himself, he licked and tasted
Justin's ass, driving the young man under him wild with desire. They
progressed rapidly as Jake hardened his tongue and drove it into Jake's
puckered ass.

      "Oh shit! Motherfucker! Oh god damn, fuck me, fuck me, fuck my hot
asshole," screamed Justin through a loud moan.

      Smiling at Justin's sudden lapse into dirty sex talk, Jake dove in
with an insatiable sexual appetite. He was soon tongue-fucking Justin with
an intense passion, as the boy was lost in the heat of the moment. Deciding
Justin was ready for the next step, Jake quickly put on the condom and
coated it with lube. Reaching up, he spread Justin's ass cheeks, watched
for a moment as saliva dripped down the hairs surrounding his ass, then
squirted a healthy amount of slick gel over his puckered ass.

      Jake followed it quickly with his thick finger that he buried deeply
inside of Justin.  When Justin's only response was an increase in volume
and intensity of moans, Jake began a careful preparation for what was to
come. His finger slid in and out of Justin, his butt slowly loosening until
Jake was able to slide a second finger beside it. After several long
delicious moments of fingering the hot boy ass in front of him, he applied
more lube and slid in three fingers.

      "Please, please Jake, Fuck me. God I need your hard fuck'n cock in
me," begged Justin.

      Jake kissed Justin's ass cheek as he let his fingers slip out of his
cavity. Flipping on his back, he pulled Justin toward him and gave him a
soft kiss. "You take it from here, babe. Get on top, that way you can
control the speed."

      Justin nodded comprehension, his body shaking from the stimulation
Jake had already sent through his body. Crawling across the bed he was soon
positioned over Jake's latex coated cock, with his own rigid cock jutting
into the air between them. Justin reached back and found Jake's hot,
throbbing cock and rubbed it over his hole. Unable to control the gasp that
shot from his mouth, Justin started pressing down. His ass seemed to
stretch forever, the pain mounted until the head slipped through his outer
sphincter. The pain spiked as Jake's thick hard cock popped through, but it
quickly receded and after a short period of time it became
pleasurable. Willing himself to relax, Justin pushed down again, this time
forcing the thick man cock through his inner gateway.

      This time the searing pain took away Justin's breath. He fell
forward, catching himself on Jake's broad chest. His breath was coming in
ragged gasps as he tried to cope.  Then he felt Jake's gentle touch over
his body.

      "It's ok, babe. Breathe and try to relax, the pain will get better in
a few minutes," whispered Jake.

      Justin focused on Jake's touch, his body relaxing as the pain slowly
disappeared, to be slowly replaced with electric jolts that felt like
mini-orgasms filling Justin's body.  Time stopped as the two joined in
their shared sexual pleasure. Eventually Justin pushed down again, this
time it was pure pleasure. He'd never felt so full, and the sensations
coursing through his body were like nothing he had ever experienced. Before
he realized what he had done, Justin felt the curly hair surrounding Jake's
cock rubbing against his ass. With a sigh, Justin leaned in and kissed Jake
hard across the lips. Bracing himself against Jake's chest, he started
grinding himself in small circles, relishing the electric sensations
arising from his body.

      "That's it, babe. Enjoy yourself. Just do whatever feels good. Damn,
you have a tight ass. You feel amazing around my cock," said Jake softly.

      Justin smiled down at his man, spreading his hands over Jake's chest,
Justin lifted himself higher and then drove the thick cock deep into his
gut. Quickly he lost himself in the pure sexual pleasure, riding Jake's
cock like a wild thing. Jake tried to make it last, wanting Justin to find
the pleasure he was seeking, but soon he was racing toward an orgasm. His
muscular hips thrust up as he drove himself into Justin, meeting each of
his bucks by driving his thick cock deeper inside.

      Justin grabbed Jake's nipples and tugged on them as he ground his ass
against Jake's crotch. The combination proved too much for Jake. Gripping
Justin's hips, he flipped them over and started power fucking the young
man. Justin let out a guttural scream of pleasure as Jake's cock rammed
over his sweet spot again and again. With now both men racing to a climax,
their bodies were responding in ways that Justin had never felt
before. Just as he felt the first jet of cum squirt from his well-used
cock, Justin felt Jake tense, filling the condom. The pleasure washed over
them both, their bodies writhing on each other as their climaxes crested
simultaneously.

      Slowly they came down from their sexual highs, burying themselves in
the blankets for warmth as they gently and lovingly kissed and touched each
other.

      "That was amazing," murmured Justin, "It was better than I ever
imagined."

      Jake kissed him softly and nodded, "It was amazing. I loved every
second."

      Without another word, the pair snuggled against each other, letting
the room dim as the sun slowly slid out of sight.

      <><><><>

      Justin looked around the tiny room that had been his world for the
past week. He and Jake had enjoyed each other's bodies in every way either
of them could imagine, and it had all been amazing. Justin was saddened
that it was coming to an end and they would be going their separate
ways. But it had been an amazing time, and he wouldn't have changed a
thing.

      Grabbing the bag full of clothes that was serving as his suitcase, he
stopped at the door and started putting on his snowshoes. Hearing nails on
the wooden floor, he looked up in time for Kody to lick him from chin to
eyebrow. Laughing he wiped his face dry then turned to Jake.

      "I'm ready whenever you are, handsome," said Justin.

      Jake looked over at the youngster and smiled. The time they had spent
together the last week had been amazing. Feelings had been awakened in Jake
that he thought had died with Scott. As he did his last round to close up
the cabin for the season, he had one regret. He knew he would never know
for sure, but Jake wished he knew that Scott approved. Scoffing at his
silliness, he headed over to Justin, who was watching him from the open
doorway.

      With a slightly sad look on his face, Justin gave Jake a brave
smile. "If you could help me get the car out that would be great. I know
you have to get back, and I'll need to call a few friends and see if I can
crash at their house until I find something."

      Jake gave Justin a confused look, "Why?"

      "Why what?" said Justin.

      "Why do you need to find a place? I thought were you coming to live
with me," said Jake.

      A smile broke out on Justin's face, covering it from ear to
ear. "Really! You want me to live with you! In your house!"

      "Yes in my house, our house. I'm sure we'll have to work out a few
things. But Justin, I've fallen in love with you."

      Justin threw his arms around the handsome muscular man in front of
him. "I love you too! I thought it was just me being a silly kid."

      Jake held him tight and kissed him again. "If it is, we're both silly
kids. Come on, let's get your car out and head home."

      Justin raced out the door with Kody, joy settling into his system
with an intensity he could never remember before. His emotions seemed
contagious as Kody raced through the thigh deep snow in huge
bounds. Looking back at the cabin, he watched Jake carefully lock up.

      Staring at the tiny cabin, he realized for the first time that there
was no window on this side. As Jake walked past him, he tried to work out
the riddle of where the point of light came from that guided him the night
he almost died. Jake paused to look at Justin.

      "Everything ok?" asked Jake.

      Justin turned to Jake with a smile, "Everything's perfect. I was just
thinking too hard. I could have sworn the light from the lantern is what I
followed to find the cabin that night in the storm."

      Jake paused and let the handsome young man walk past him. Tilting his
face to the sky, Jake mouthed a silent thanks, and quickly caught up with
Justin.

      With that the pair moved across the glistening snow and into their
new life together.
