       After their long embrace, Mister Burrows loosened his arms from around
    Jimmy's sweaty back. Their kisses had ended. His big nose took in the
    strong smell of sex rising from their bodies; it was very male! He peeked
    down at their wet bellies and smiled to see that the youth's pole was
    sleeping against his dark groin hair. His semi-hard cock was stuck between
    the cheeks of the boy's pale butt.

      "You given relief to this man's aching," said the Indian with gratitude.
    "I've not make love to a boy since ago I was a boy."

       Jimmy smiled. He couldn't look into the man's dark eyes when he asked,
    "You really like my butt?"

      "Ah, yes. A nice fit to my cock! Much seed put into you." Mister Burrows
    patted the youth's small butt with satisfaction.

       The boy felt his hole oozing from what the man had put in there. "It's
    all come out though..."

       The Indian laughed. "I have more in my balls to give you."

       Jimmy giggled. Of that, he was sure! The boy glanced into the Indian
    dark eyes - they looked very intense; lustful. Hunger showed in them for
    the man to have his butt again. 'Why not?' The boy felt a strange thrill
    when considering giving himself to the man's need again. He felt the
    swollen cock laying through the crack of his butt. In a tease, the boy
    wiggled his bottom to coax its rigid growth. When the man noticed what he
    was doing, strong hands gripped his back and lowered him onto the man's
    raised knees. The boy's butt turned against the man's hairy groin. A push
    was made into his hole and the thick cock went in.

       Their eyes met. Some pain filled the boy's while the Indian's black
    eyes shined. Their bodies were joining again in the most intimate way two
    males can. His cock slipped through the tight heated passage of boy. The
    Indian groaned with much anticipation.

       Jimmy was amazed by how easily it went in him. His hole was filled with
    man again. An uncomfortable pain but he could endure it to give the Indian
    his pleasure. He wanted them to fuck. Not in punishment this time for
    what he'd done to Jeff but because it was a good thing for a man and his
    boy to do together. They really loved each other.

       Mister Burrows tightened his grip of the boy's slim shoulders. His
    thrusts began. The youth steadied himself by hanging onto the man's
    outstretched arms. The back of his feet pressed into the man's flexing
    butt. He felt power building there. Deep in his butt, the cock moved in
    and out. It was going to replace what the boy had pushed out earlier.

       "You a sweet boy!" gasped the Indian. His body moved with a man's
    rhythm to complete itself in the willing youth. Much pleasure came from
    his cock. It pushed through the hot yielding tightness of the boy's hole
    in deeper stabs. Jimmy's eyes no longer showed pain. They were narrowing
    from what he was feeling deep in his ass. His erecting pole proved that
    was so.

       "Feel my Power?" the man asked. His hips bucked when fucking harder
    into Jimmy's pale butt. Low moans came out with his breaths.

       The boy could only nod his head. He felt his pole surging whenever the
    man's cock pressed against something deep in him: a pain tickle. The
    sensation was hard to describe except to say that it was very intense.
    Being fucking a second time was easier for the boy. His hole was slippery
    and already stretched to accommodate a man's sized cock.

       The Indian felt his hard body's dance towards climax. He tried keeping
    it from ending so quickly by slowing his thrusts. His cock pulled further
    back to nearly slip out of the boy's hole before pushing into it as deep
    as he could. Something wild shown from the youth's eyes when he did.

       Jimmy felt the thrilling surges returning to his pole. It stuck out
    hard from his groin ready to shoot again and he wasn't even handling it!
    That amazed him. He knew that he'd already released from it twice: to the
    bed sheets and against the man's belly.

       Mister Burrows also noticed the boy's erection. It made him glad. He
    knew that Jimmy liked having his little butt fucked and that it got his
    dick to come out. He drove his cock harder through the youth's tight hole.
    He could feel the boy's heat around his shaft. From having cummed into it
    before, the passage was slippery to his penetrations. No pain for the boy.

       Jimmy felt the man's knees pressing into his back. The cheeks of his
    butt tickled against the Indian's hairy groin while having its hole filled
    with thick cock. A man's sized cock! It amazed the boy that his small body
    could satisfy the Indian's sexual need.

       Strong brown hands gripped the boy's under arms. Jimmy was pulled down
    to impale his butt onto the upwards driving man cock. The hands relaxed
    when the Indian withdrew from his hole. He stared into the man's dark
    eyes that shined with utter pleasure. They were performing a very adult
    act that he couldn't brag to anyone about.

       Mister Burrows felt the boy's legs rubbing against his sides; the boy's
    heels pressed into his butt humping over the bed. Theirs was an unusual
    fucking position. He bounced the youth over his groin to make the stabbing
    motion through his tight ass. From the intense thrills building in the
    man's loins, he knew that he was coming to the quickening part.

       Jimmy gasped from the pain/thrills he was getting deep in his butt. The
    man's cock was pressing against something in his hole that was giving him
    a strange sense of pleasure. Not like the simple thrills from beating off
    but mixed with pain and feeling intense. It was almost too much to endure!
    The boy held onto the Indian's outstretched arms to control how deeply his
    butt would get penetrated. It was like a contest between what the man
    wanted: deep! and what he was willing to give.

       When the boy's eyes fluttered, Mister Burrows felt his greatest
    pleasure and sense of pride for his manliness. He knew what his cock was
    doing to the youth. A warning tingle came from his balls. The Indian kept
    his cock deep in the boy's asshole with shallow, ending thrusts. He felt
    the rising of his seed. It exploded from him like a bear's anger.

       Jimmy felt the change from Mister Burrows; the shallow stabs that
    remained deep in his hole. When the Indian raised his head to growl, a
    thrilling throb was felt in his butt from the man shooting his sperm...
    deep in him! That made the boy get intensely excited. His pole squirted
    once to the Indian's brown belly with brief pleasure for him!

       The man saw it. His cock continued to fill the boy's butt while only
    that one clear shot hit his belly. Nothing left in the boy's small balls
    to give him. The Indian chuckled. His pleasure faded when his balls also
    emptied of sperm. They had exchanged all their bodily love to each other.
    Only in their hearts was there a love that would never run out.

       Their heated breaths sounded loud in the small bedroom. Mister Burrows
    loosened his hold of Jimmy's slim shoulders. He felt the full weight from
    the boy sitting over him that kept his cock deep in that pale butt. His
    cum still trickled into the boy's hole; he'd managed to fill it with his
    Power yet again.

       Jimmy noticed that he had his eyes tightly shut. What he'd felt was the
    most intense feeling his body ever endured. Breaths raced through his open
    mouth. When the strong hands released his shoulders, the boy balanced
    himself over the man's groin. He slowly opened his eyes. The Indian gave
    him a nice grin and nodded in thankfulness for what he'd been given: a
    place to fulfill manhood in his little butt. Their second joining had been
    intense. Sweat beaded on the man's brown face and his long black hair was
    cast about in wild curving flows over his shoulders and down his breast.

       The boy's dick felt hurt. He knew it was forced to shoot from the
    intense pain/thrills that had come from his butthole. It was as if the
    man's shooting in his butt had gone through his own dick and out. A
    strange thought! He was relieved that it was over with.

       The Indian arched his back so that he could reach the boy's face with
    his. Jimmy was eager to kiss him. Their arms wrapped around each other in
    a sweaty embrace: little white boy with big brown Indian. Male bodies were
    still connected; kiss after kiss. Theirs was a gentle touching that gave a
    flutter to their joining spirits. Very sweet.

       Jimmy felt exhausted. His mouth blew out a harsh breath into the man's
    that ended their kissing. He needed to get air! Streaks of sweat ran down
    his belly to the Indian's cock sticking in his butthole. It still amazed
    him that two males could come together that way for sex.

       "My Power fills you," the Indian announced with pride. "See how your
    pole shot out to me?"

       Jimmy nodded his head. "It happened again... I squirted without even
    handling it!"

       "Hmm. That like over filling a cup with too much milk," the Indian
    explained. "Some has to spill out."

       The boy understood. He experienced the Indian's tremendous sexual power
    that had been too much for his immature body to contain, like a small cup.
    He spilled out from his pole.

       Mister Burrows lowered his hands to the boy's thighs and rubbed over
    them to still their trembling. He pushed away the guilt nagging at his
    heart for performing so adult an act on the white youth. Jimmy was a young
    teen. Just barely of age to understand what they've been doing and able to
    withstand its intensity. He needed to be sure though.

       "Are you okay what we do?" asked Mister Burrows. The boy was slow to
    nod his head in reply so he would explain it.

       "In my tribe Jimmy, you need two years more growth before given brave's
    name; a manhood initiation. A brave free to do all things. His body strong
    and head all grown up. A warrior like me is proven man so he show the boy
    to become a brave. Give hardships like long runs, fasting which is no eat
    or drinking, climb high cliffs and such to get body strong and also teach
    things for head. That our Indian way. You are white..."

       "I'd like to be an Indian, learn your ways!" asked Jimmy.

       Mister Burrows frowned. "What mean is that your white ways are soft and
    make slow a boy's growth. I'm glad you willing to learn my things. I love
    that in you. My heart is pained that what we do could hurt and make you
    hate me. No want that! Be sure you okay to follow my path."

       Jimmy thought hard about what the Indian was trying to explain. It
    seemed that the man wanted him to be sure that it was okay for them to
    have sex and to make their hearts becoming one. They were doing good! It
    was a bit strange for a boy to be giving himself to a man's sexual need;
    he usually married to get that.

       The boy looked at the man's weathered face and saw that he was old. How
    old, Jimmy didn't know. All he knew was that they had connected as friends
    and he was learning lots of fun things about Indian rites, sex and about
    life. The Indian was a wise man. Yet it seemed that Mister Burrows wanted
    to be sure that he was willing to learn and experienced what could be
    taught him. The boy gave his consent. "I'm okay with everything."

       "That good," said Mister Burrows with obvious relief. "My path is not
    like other men; not a father's for his son because we make love with our
    bodies..." The Indian reached back to Jimmy's little butt and patted it.

       The boy grinned. "I'm glad to give myself to you... I love you." He was
    amazed by how easily those words came out of him.

       "I love you too."

       Jimmy gasped from hearing the Indian saying those words back to him. In
    his heart, he knew they were true while his head was a little confused
    because the kind of love they were talking about should only be between a
    man and a woman; he was only a boy.

       "Let roots set down and grow slowly to bring up a healthy plant of
    understanding," asked the wise Indian.

       The boy knew what Mister Burrows meant. That he should give some time
    to what he's been taught and experienced to fully understand it all. The
    youth felt privileged that he was being shown adult things and the man's
    sacred Indian ways. Most of them felt good.

       Jimmy shifted his weight over the man's lap. There's been a building
    need in him to piss or something. The pain centered behind his balls, an
    uncomfortable feeling that began to overwhelm him. It was his butt that
    was hurting... he had to go! The boy lifted himself from the man's lap and
    some relief came when the swollen cock slipped from his aching hole. The
    boy rolled off the bed. On his feet, he rushed to the bathroom. None could
    be found.

       "Where's the toilet?" the boy shouted. "I really have to go!"

       "Out there," answered Mister Burrows. He chased after the boy steaking
    out of his shack and pointed towards the trees. "The outhouse there."

       Jimmy ran into the woods to where the Indian pointed. He found a small
    hut with a half-door. Opening it, he stepped inside and saw the oval hole
    cut in the top of a raised wooden box. There was a peculiar odor inside;
    unpleasant. Yet he was in great need. He turned around and sat down over
    the small hole. His butt pushed out what it held. He could hear splashing
    below him and the thought of it was disgusting. His butt strained from the
    need to keep pushing but nothing more would come out.

       It was a long sitting. Jimmy was in pain from forcing an emptying of
    his bowels. He still felt the need to shit. Only when he realized that the
    full sensation was pain did he force a relaxing of his inner muscles. The
    dull aching from his hole was very uncomfortable.

       Mister Burrows stood outside his shack to wait for the boy. His arms
    stretched out to welcome the cool air over his sweaty body. He revelled in
    his male nakedness. No longer was he ashamed of being nude or in fear that
    someone would take advantage of him without clothes. The man thought
    back to what happened to him at the age of thirteen...

       It was his first visit to a white man's town. Hawks had brought him
    along to earn a little money by tearing down a building that had burned.
    Hawks was a man that had dealings with the white folks outside their
    reservation. Unfortunately, he liked to drink. Money was earned so that he
    could keep up his bad habit.

       The job given them was to chop down the remaining walls and fallen wood
    beams with axe/hammers and carry away the debris that proved a dangerous
    undertaking. No whites wanted to do it. Hawks was nearly struck by a
    falling deck that had been weakened from the fire. They tried being
    careful but both endured cuts from nails and bad strikes from their axes
    while their bodies were blackened by the charred wood and fire ash. The
    space was needed to build a new store so cash would be paid to them if
    they worked quickly.

       Hawks was given a jug of whiskey on the third day by some white men. He
    tried the fiery liquid but spat it out because the taste was so horrid.
    Hawks had no problem drinking it. They finished working at the end of the
    day and went to clean up in a pond they'd been camping at outside of town.
    He had no problem with being nude with Hawks since the young man was an
    Indian like him with a similar brown body though more developed.

       Hawks touched him in the water. It caused his dick to get really long
    especially when the young man turned around to rub his butt against his
    groin. He got the idea that Hawks wanted them to mate with his dick
    sticking in the man's asshole. At thirteen, he felt great lust to come out
    when erected but the idea was too strange. Boys from his tribe had beat
    off with him or belly rubbed for a shared male relief but he thought
    Hawks was made crazy by drinking the white man's bad drink.

       The man drank more whiskey on the bank and wouldn't cover himself with
    his breech-cloth. He waited for his young companion to decide to mate with
    him. Lust begged a joining to their male bodies but as an unexperienced
    boy, he was trying to decide if he should fuck the young man or not.
    That's why his breech-cloth was left on the bank over Hawk's. It was a
    foolish mistake by remaining nude.

       The white men who had given Hawks the jug came around for a visit.
    Three of them ranging in ages from eighteen to thirty or so. They removed
    their clothes at the sight of them and drank whiskey. Their strange
    behavior was both frightening yet exciting to him. Hawks comforted him
    with a hand across his shoulder and tried getting him to drink whiskey; he
    took a few mouthfuls. It dulled his head.

       The white men beat their cocks in hand when the liquor affected them.
    Hawks, who was the most drunk, had to leave his side to lay down over his
    sleeping mat. His uncovered butt invited lustful attention. The oldest of
    the white men went to him and quickly stuck into the Indian's ass. Their
    brutal act had frightened the unknowing boy...

       Mister Burrows frowned at the grim remembrance. He understood now that
    Hawks liked getting fucked but the liquor-crazed white men had gone after
    him as well because of their lust. He was held down over the ground by one
    man when he resisted while the eager companion stuck into his virgin butt.
    After getting it seeded, they switched positions with his asshole getting
    raped again. The little whiskey he had drunk made him weak and unable to
    defend his manhood. Worse, he staggered over to Hawks to be comforted and
    found himself accepting a belly rub with the young man as they held each
    other's fucked butts. The white men watched them and laughed.

       Morning brought them aching heads from the liquor and sore assholes.
    Hawks felt bad that his younger companion had been raped; he admitted to
    like getting his ass fucked but felt that it was partly the boy's fault
    for not covering himself after swimming in the pond; his nakedness being
    an offer to the crazed white men as Hawks freely gave his body to them.

       Mister Burrows lowered his head when remembering his shame. He accepted
    the blame that Hawks said was his and they never spoke about what happened
    to them. No love lost between them. They never again embraced for male
    relief and their friendship faded.

       They did finish tearing down the building and split the money equally.
    Hawks bought whiskey with it. The man was caught in a terrible cycle of
    want and desire that the white men took advantage of. He returned to the
    reservation with his share and gave it to his father. It was much needed
    by the family. Yet no more would he go off to the white men's town with
    Hawks. And he never revealed his nudity to anyone least he get raped as
    Hawks claimed that invited it.

       A boyhood friend of ten had learned that same lesson... from himself.
    After losing a big bet from him, the youth made payment by getting naked.
    His small body was forced to endure the attentions of his hungry mouth
    over it: sucking on his prick that was too immature to cum so he licked
    into the boy's little hole so that he could take it. The youth didn't
    realize that being naked was inviting an attack upon his small body. He
    mounted the youth's butt and all the rage that was pent up in him from
    what those horny white men had done to him came out with his sperm into
    the little boy's ass. His brutal act broke the friendship between them.
    Not since hurting that little boy did he try making love to another. The
    full circle came back to him as a man when Jimmy, a white boy, allowed his
    little butt to get stuck into by him. The act between them was from love;
    not just lust or an expression of power over another. It cleansed that
    shame on his manhood. He no longer loathed white People since a small boy
    showed him how to love.

       Mister Burrows felt the joy of rebirth. Sadly, it had come so late in
    his life that few years remained to him to embrace other males with what
    his lusty body and loving heart could offer them. It was enough to have
    won the white boy's heart for him.

       The man felt back for the sweaty cheeks of his butt. He slapped over
    them with the decision that Jimmy would return his love to him in there
    if he wanted. There would be no shame to his manhood to give himself to a
    boy. The boy he loved.

       'Where is Jimmy?' the Indian wondered. He looked into the woods for the
    outhouse and could barely see that its half-door was closed. He couldn't
    be sure if the boy was still sitting inside it so he looked around camp.
    That's when he noticed steam coming from his water pot. A stick was
    fetched to lift the boiling pot from the fire in a rush. Its discovery was
    a lucky thing. His unexpected roll with that kid in bed had him forgetting
    about making coffee before the youth's visit. If he'd come later, the
    water would have all boiled away.

       The man reached down for his earthern mug. It was topped with a round
    metal strainer already filled with ground coffee. He carefully poured a
    little water into the strainer from the pot and waited. When the water's
    level dropped, he filled it again. It took two more pourings of hot water.
    The metal strainer was then removed to reveal the dark coffee in his mug.

       Mister Burrows held it close to his nose for a sniff. He relished the
    coffee's aroma. It was still too hot to drink yet. His thoughts turned to
    Jimmy with concern. The boy was taking a long time in the outhouse; he
    hoped the youth wasn't feeling much pain. He looked down at his satisfied
    brown cock. Its tip had shrunk back into his foreskin. Two times he had
    cummed from it to fuck the boy good. His performance gave him a deep sense
    of manly achievement and pride.

       Jimmy stepped into camp. He slowly walked towards the Indian in obvious
    pain. Mister Burrows gestured for the boy to sit over his thigh and tell
    him about it. The man wasn't surprised by what he heard.

       "It kept feeling like I had to push but nothing more came out," Jimmy
    explained. "Doing that only brought more pain. My butt really aches me..."

       Mister Burrows nodded with understanding. He held the boy in his left
    arm while blowing over the surface of his mug before taking a drink of
    coffee. The liquid would replenish his lost energy.

       "Can I have a sip?" asked Jimmy. The man was surprised but lowered his
    mug so that the boy could drink. It was very hot. The taste was strong,
    kinda like hot chocolate but with a bitter after taste he didn't like.

       The Indian lifted his mug to take another drink. He wasn't surprised to
    see that Jimmy didn't ask for another sip. Coffee was an adult drink that
    took some getting used to before it could be enjoyed. The boy waited. He
    shifted over the man's thigh to find a less painful position of sitting.
    His bottom was really aching him.

       Mister Burrows noticed. "You must endure to have a greater thing - my
    man's Power in you."

       Jimmy blew out a troubled breath. "I'm hurting from getting stuck by
    your big cock. Twice!"

       "Hmm. That felt good to do," spoke the man with a sigh. He watched the
    boy's sour expression with concern. "You not tell anyone what we do,
    Jimmy? Get us to trouble."

       "I know that..."

       "Let me hear your promise," the Indian asked. "Swear it."

       Jimmy looked the man in the eye when he spoke. "I swear not to tell
    anyone about what we've done together... naked. I cross my heart and hope
    to die!"

       Mister Burrows nodded his head with acceptance. "I also swear unto the
    Great Mystery to keep in my heart our love..."

       Jimmy nodded. He gave the man a nice smile from hearing what he said.
    The Indian finished drinking his coffee and set the mug down on the
    ground. He slowly stood up, carrying the boy with him. In those blue eyes
    he saw pain.

       "Come inside," the Indian asked. "I have medicine to stop your hurt."

       Jimmy walked behind the naked man to his shack. He eyed the brown butt
    with a strange lust; 'what would it feel like to stick my dick in him?' he
    wondered. The door opened. He went inside after the man and they stood in
    the kitchen. Wooden doors to the cupboard were opened. Its shelves were
    cluttered with lots of things.

       Mister Burrows went through them until finding a small pouch. The boy
    wondered what was inside it. The draw strings were untied and a yellowish
    powder poured out into his palm; a healing herb. He spat into his hand
    and mixed it with the powder to form a paste. Jimmy grimaced.

       "Bend over," the Indian asked. He watched Jimmy turn away and stick out
    his little butt. The man lowered to the floor on his hunches. He looked
    between the opening cheeks and saw the boy's pink butthole. A thrilling
    surge went through him to see how small and tight it was - such a great
    feel around his thrusting cock! He gathered up some of the healing paste
    with his left finger and pressed it against the youth's entrance. More of
    the healing herb was applied.

       Jimmy felt the man's gentle fingering. He spread his legs and bent over
    more so the Indian could get to his hole.

       "I need to put inside," Mister Burrows asked. "Open your butt more."

       The boy reached back to pull his cheeks apart. A sharp pain went
    through his hole when he did. The Indian stuck his finger inside it,
    pushing the paste deeper into his butt. A coolness spread in him from it.

       The Indian rose up from the floor. He wiped the remaining paste from
    his hand over the cheeks of his butt. Jimmy stood up and turned to face him.

       "How feel?" asked Mister Burrows.

       Jimmy stretched his bottom this way and that but felt little pain.
    There was a coolness spreading through his hole. "Better," he answered.

       A yawn came unexpectedly from the boy. He stretched his arms and felt a
    heaviness to his eyelids. The man took him in hand back to the bedroom.
    They sat over the edge of the bed together.

       "Can I stay a while?" Jimmy asked. He was feeling sleepy and wanted to
    stay with the Indian for a while longer.

       "Yes. My house is yours to stay," answered Mister Burrows.

       Jimmy looked around at the small shack. Its wooden walls were bare
    without any pictures or shelves to adorn them like in his mother's home.
    There wasn't any carpeting on the floor. Not even a door to separate the
    bedroom from the kitchen.

       "My shack good," said the Indian. "A better place than what I sleep in
    at the reservation."

       "Really?" Jimmy blurted out. He didn't think that the man's shack was
    much to look at. "What is your reservation like?"

       Mister Burrows looked at the boy. His eyes turned sad when he began
    telling him about Indian life there. Jimmy learned that the white man had
    stolen their tribal lands a century ago and moved what People they didn't
    kill onto bad land not fit for hunting or farming. Their old Indian ways
    were not permitted so their children grew up without knowing who they
    were. White schools taught them strange ways of thinking; useless things.
    It upset the balances between elders and the young men, wives to their
    husbands. The children who returned with white teaching in their head had
    no respect for honored Native beliefs. It caused much turmoil.

       "I was hid when the black-robed women came for the children," explained
    Mister Burrows. "My parents want me to keep a good head, filled with the
    proper Indian ways."

       Jimmy asked, "Is that why you ran away?"

       The Indian shook his head from not understanding what the boy was
    asking him. "Ran away?" he asked.

       "Why you came here... to get away from your reservation."

       "No. I come to earn money for sisters and brother," the man explained.
    "There no good jobs for Indians in Oklahoma."

       Jimmy nodded his head. "Is that why you wear pants instead of an Indian
    breech-cloth?"

       "Ah. I no wear flaps since a boy," the Indian answered.

       "The Indian warriors in my picture books didn't wear pants."

       Mister Burrows smiled. "Those free men from long ago. Ride their horse
    and hunt the buffalo to feed their People. Now, no more."

       Jimmy remembered hearing that before; how the Indians had lost their
    freedom to the white man. It sounded very sad. An uneasy silence came
    between them that the boy didn't know how to end.

       "You not wear breech-cloth more?" asked Mister Burrows. He remembered
    Jimmy coming into his bedroom with pants and white underwear; not his
    painted flaps he was so proud to wear.

       "They were taken," the boy answered. "Jeff's too!"

       Mister Burrows saw pain reflecting in the boy's freckled face so he
    laid his arm across the youth's shoulders to comfort him. "Tell me."

       Jimmy told the Indian what had happened. He didn't cry since he felt
    very angry with those two boys who had tormented them. A greater anger
    filled him when remembering a similar incident with his father. It mixed
    with deep guilt that he could never be rid of.

       "I did the same thing to my father," the boy blurted out. "He fell."

       Mister Burrows was startled by what the boy said. He noticed that Jimmy
    wouldn't look at him. The boy's head lowered in great sadness. On his face
    was much pain; guilt that the Indian recognized. The man knew that
    something bad was trapping the youth's spirit.

       "He is dead?"

       Jimmy slowly nodded his head. He felt that he should be crying for his
    father but couldn't. It wasn't that he didn't love him! He was left with
    guilt and the need to be punished for the terrible thing he'd done.

       It grew silent between them again. A yawn erupted from Jimmy's mouth so
    he scooted himself further over the man's bed. He laid down to sleep. His
    weary eyes closed. The last thing Jimmy remembered was the sheet being
    drawn up to cover his body.

       A fish struggled against the line Jimmy was reeling in with his pole.
    He was glad to have finally caught one! His father was sitting across
    from him in the row boat, a proud smile on his face. He already caught a
    bunch of fish because he knew how to jerk his pole at the moment a fish
    had taken the bait into its mouth. Jimmy kept missing; the hook returning
    to him empty. With the landing of his fish, he proved to his father that
    he was no longer a little boy.

       Jimmy called down to his father. The ground seemed so far away with him
    sitting in their newly constructed club house. It had two glass windows to
    look out of, a low table and several cushion to lay over. When the man
    began his climb, Jimmy shaked the roped ladder in fun. His father kept
    climbing up. He growled like an angry bear coming to eat him! That had the
    boy jerking the ropes even harder. The bear fell... With a sickening thud,
    the black shaggy beast turned into a naked Indian laying over the ground.
    It was Mister Burrows!

       Jimmy woke up with a start. He noticed that he was breathing hard and a
    sense of panic overwhelmed him. He didn't know where he was! The sheets
    were pulled down and he lept from the bed. He noticed his nakedness. Over
    the floor was his white underwear so he put them on.

       The boy remembered where he was. It calmed him some but a need was in
    him to find Mister Burrows! He ran to the kitchen and found it empty.
    Outside, he found no sign of the Indian. Even when he called out to him,
    there came no answering reply. The boy hoped he wasn't laying dead at the
    oak tree.

       "What wrong?" shouted Mister Burrows when he came running into camp. He
    went to the boy and found himself being embraced; a great bear hug. The
    youth seemed frightened.

       "I had a bad dream," answered Jimmy. He kept his tight hold of the man
    as if never letting go.

       Mister Burrows lifted his boy onto him and went into the shack. He knew
    the Power of dreams; especially bad ones. It was a sign that the boy's
    spirit was being troubled and he suspected that he knew from what.

       The man also remembered being told about them mean boys who stole
    Jimmy's and Jeff's breech-cloths. He wasn't sure but there may be
    something to give back to one boy. Jimmy was carried into his bedroom. He
    was lowered to the floor next to a wooden trunk. It was opened to reveal a
    pile of clothes. The man gently pushed them aside to get at something from
    the bottom. When his brown hands lifted, they held a yellowish bundle.

       "This for you," said the Indian.

       Jimmy was in awe of the Indian garment. He pulled down his underwear in
    a rush to accept the gift. The man unwound the long thong belt and tied it
    loosely around his slim waist. Two flaps of old deerskin were unfolded and
    dropped over the belt in front to cover his dick and in back to cover his
    pale butt. A necklace remained in the man's hand.

       "This was your breech-cloth?" Jimmy asked. He made a tighter knot in
    his thong belt to hold the two flaps next to his body.

       Mister Burrows nodded. "A long ago. I kept so to remember my way as boy
    but I no wear more."

       "What is that?" the boy asked while pointing at what the man held.

       "Oh. This my father's totem give me," the Indian replied. "He want to
    pass on my son."

       Jimmy looked at the painted wooden object with much desire to have it.
    A real Indian thing! The small carvings were of animal faces each one on
    top of the other. A black thong went through a hole in the totem.

       The man's hands pulled open the black thong. Jimmy waited to have it
    dropped around his neck but it went instead over the Indian's head. A
    disappointment filled the boy.

       "I not wear for a long, long time..." the Indian whispered. His eyes
    became glazed as if in deep thought.

       Jimmy looked down at himself. He still had a real Indian breech-cloth
    over his body! The yellow flaps weren't painted; a musty smell came from
    them that proved their age and lack of use. "I can have this?" he asked.

       Mister Burrows nodded his head. "You a boy so to wear is good!"

       "Can I wear your father's totem?"

       The Indian looked the white boy directly in the eye. "This mine to give
    my son. It an important thing to me." The man saw the desire in the white
    youth to have his totem. How could he explain that it was a Power object
    to be kept in his family?

       "But you aren't ever going to have a son..."

       Mister Burrows realized that the boy's words were true. No son would
    come to him. He was long past the age of marrying and no woman interested
    him because of what he felt in his loins for boys. The man felt suddenly
    old. He knew that he was almost four fingers times the age of this boy.
    Old enough to be a grandfather.

       The Indian tugged at his totem hanging down from his neck and decided.
    "You can have before leave camp. Must earn it when pass a test."

       Jimmy nodded in understanding. He felt that the Indian wanted to wear
    his father's painted totem for a while longer before giving it to him.
    The end of summer camp was still over a week away! Time enough for the man
    to be ready to give it up.

       "My breech-cloth old and smelly," said the Indian. "Go to lake and have
    its water cleanse it."

       Jimmy lifted the front flap. The cloth felt stiff in his hand and there
    was a discoloration to the hide in the middle of its underside.

       The man grinned. "See that? As boy, I come out a lot from my pole. My
    front cloth hide what I do from the others." He made a lusty gesture of
    pulling over his cock.

       "You mean you shot to this flap?" asked Jimmy.

       The Indian nodded. "All boys do that thing so breech-cloth smell sweet
    and bear that male sign within." He pointed at the discoloration.

       Jimmy became excited. He dropped the front cloth and pressed it down
    over his dick. The flap felt sticky and cool against him. He also pressed
    over the rear flap covering his butt and asked, "Any stains back there?"

       Mister Burrows laughed. "Only if I farted!"

       The boy giggled. He felt that the man didn't want to tell him if his
    butt had been fucked. His was. To push out a man's seed would have given
    the rear flap the same discoloration as the front. He wanted to look but
    would wait until Mister Burrows wasn't around.

       "Go to lake, Jimmy. Stand in its depths and make my breech-cloth your
    own. That way you join with the water's strong spirit. You be cleansed."

       The boy nodded. He didn't know if there was anything left in his small
    balls to shoot out but he would perform the ritual as the man asked.

       Mister Burrows took the boy outside. He was looking for something and
    spotted it laying over the ground near the fire. The man put on his shirt
    and buttoned it up, shoving its ends into his pants. Jimmy remembered his
    clothes in the bedroom. He decided to leave them and wear the man's Indian
    breech-cloth. It replaced what those mean boys had stolen from him.

       "Walk with me," the man asked. He led Jimmy down the trail that led
    back to the boys' camp. They held hands. Much joy was in their hearts for
    they had made love and felt close from it and because of their growing
    friendship. Jimmy often spied on the Indian's totem hanging from his neck.
    He felt its Power attracting him.

       Jimmy was glad to be spending the day with his man. He smiled and
    laughed often. Teasing was made when he twirled around to let the Indian
    get brief glimpses of his nudity when his breech-cloth flapped. His little
    butt was pinched. That gave the boy an excuse to ask the man something.
    "Did someone like your butt when you were a boy? Was it fucked?"

       Mister Burrows felt uncomfortable by the boy's question. It didn't seem
    the proper thing for a youth to ask of his elder. He continued walking to
    the lake in silence.

       They took the right fork in the path that led to the camp's dump. The
    trash had long since burned down; not even embers. The man kept walking.
    There would be time to watch Jimmy's ritual before returning to the mess
    hall to wash dishes and clean up there. He maintained his silence.

       When the trees thinned out, the lake came into view. Jimmy looked
    around for boys but didn't find any. 'Ah. Lunch time!' he realized. His
    stomach was empty but it wasn't aching him to have food. The boy felt love
    sick and that kept him from being hungry.

       The Indian stopped at the edge of the lake. He gestured for the boy to
    walk into the water while he remained on the bank. Jimmy stepped through
    the shallow water. He turned questioningly to the man.

       "What do I do?"

       Mister Burrows smiled. "You know. Make a boy's rite with your hand
    under front cloth."

       Jimmy thought that was what he was supposed to do. He reached into his
    front flap and pinched his dick. It wasn't hard. There was no need in him
    to beat off so he felt awkward standing in the lake while holding his
    small pole in front of the man.

       The Indian noticed the boy's distress. With a sigh, he unbuttoned his
    shirt and hung it over a low tree branch. Next, his pants were dropped. He
    stood naked before the youth with his cock in hand. A harsh pulling was
    made over its thick skin to make the youth get excited.

       Jimmy watched it with interest. He felt the stirring of his loins and
    pinched his growing erection to get it to come out. The tip of his dick
    poked the front flap, rubbing against the crusty discoloration that the
    Indian said was where he'd often shot to it as a boy.

       Mister Burrows had grown his cock to full length. He stopped pulling
    over it to raise his hands in ritual. The Indian began singing. Jimmy
    couldn't understand any of the words but he felt touched by the man's low
    chanting. He enjoyed looking at the man's brown body. It was displaying
    strength and sexual excitement that lend the boy power to his task. He
    continued to pinch over the shaft of his hardon to get it to shoot.

       The Indian called upon the lake's spirit to cleanse the boy of his
    spirit hurt. He asked that his guilt and great sadness be carried away.
    Jimmy's arm moved with a telling beat. He didn't realize what the man's
    ritual was really trying to achieve.

       A fond memory returned to the man from his youth. He had stood in a
    river and performed a boy's common rite to rid himself of lust. Yet no
    matter how often he did it, his need would return to him. A boy's lone
    rite was no match for sharing bodily need with another, he'd discovered.
    Boyhood friends liked to belly rub with him and that made their dicks
    satisfied. But as a man, those naked games ended with no one wanting to
    embrace his lust for other males. He was also afraid of getting raped.

       Jimmy kept his eyes on the naked Indian. His excited manhood display
    made the boy yearn to hold him for a release of both their bodies yet he
    kept his place in the lake for ritual sake. He knew they'd be together
    again. Not for a few days since his body had performed so much sex and
    would need a rest. That thought made the boy giggle.

       The boy pinched the shaft of his hard dick while his butt made the
    humping motion to build up his thrills. Holding it so tightly would leave
    a telling red mark but no one would see it until it went away. He knew
    that the Indian only had to pull over his foreskin to come out. It made
    him envious for not having that extra skin around his dick to play with.

       Mister Burrows ended his chanting. He looked at Jimmy's boy rite and
    waited for its sweet ending. The youth noticed his attention, turning
    himself sideways so that the Indian could peek through his two flaps. It
    made the man grin to see the boy's pale butt humping under the rear cloth
    and the small hand gripping his erection under the front. The man felt
    that a part of himself was embraced with the boy since that was his
    boyhood breech-cloth covering him.

       Jimmy felt a slow rising from his loins; a kind of struggle from his
    weary body to release its sex. When it came, a brief sweet thrill was
    given him when squirting to the inside of his front deerskin flap. He let
    go of his aching dick with pride and relief. He was able to do it again!

       Mister Burrows saw it. He stepped into the lake to be at Jimmy's side.
    His hand lifted the front flap and he saw the clear streaks over the place
    he'd often shot to in his youth. It felt like a full circle turning.

       "Is the rite completed?" gasped Jimmy. He felt a little out of breath
    for making his body come out again so soon.

       The Indian had a solemn expression on his face and remained silent. He
    squat into the lake. With cupped hands, he brought water up to the boy for
    a ritual bathing. His hands rubbed over the boy's shoulders, chest and
    back, stomach, under both flaps to clean his dick and butt. The legs were
    last to be rubbed in the lake water.

       It felt funny to Jimmy to be washed by the man when he was old enough
    to do that himself. His mom hadn't seen him naked for bathing since he was
    six or seven years old. Yet he knew that the Indian was doing it in a
    cleansing ritual; that's what he had told him.

       Mister Burrows last rubbed water into the boy's two flaps. He wanted to
    rid them of their musty smell. Lovingly, he held what had been his breech-
    cloth worn long ago when he was a boy. They would serve this white youth
    well; new experiences to bond with the old ones. Was this what it felt
    like to care for a son?

       The man stood up with his eyes looking into Jimmy's. He saw total trust
    there; love too. He gripped the boy's pale shoulders and gestured for him
    to fall back into the lake. No hesitation in the youth. His body submerged
    into the water to complete the cleansing rite.

       "It is done," the Indian announced when bringing Jimmy back to the
    surface. The stood up together. An embrace happened when the boy jumped
    onto his body with small arms going around his back. He lifted the youth
    by his bottom so their faces could come together. A kiss happened.

       Mister Burrows happily carried his boy back to the bank. Jimmy was the
    closest he'd ever have to a real son. There was a real strong bond between
    them like father and son. Different though.

       Jimmy looked into the Indian's eyes. Some boldness was in him when he
    spoke. "Now, I can't see if there was a discoloration on the inside rear
    flap of your breech-cloth..."

       The man knew what Jimmy was asking of him. He had hoped to avoid
    answering that question but the youth would only press him about it again.
    "Yes. There was some stain back there..."

       Jimmy saw the effort it took for the Indian to admit it. He wanted to
    learn more; who fucked his butt and if he liked that or not but from the
    man's sad eyes, he knew not to ask anything more.

       Mister Burrows carefully dropped the silent boy down. He asked, "Go eat
    lunch. I need do chores now."

       Jimmy felt odd. He had hoped to spend the day with this nice man but
    knew that he was the janitor of camp with work to perform. Something
    nagged at the boy. 'Was my question put to the Indian the cause for our
    parting ways?' He didn't mean to hurt the man's feelings.

       Without knowing what else to do, Jimmy took Mister Burrow's hand in a
    farewell shake. Their eyes touched for a brief moment. It was going to be
    okay between them! He ran off to the barracks so that he could get dressed
    into normal clothes. Jeff was in his mind...

       Mister Burrows watched the boy's flight along the lake shore. When he
    could no longer be seen, the man dived into the lake. A ritual cleansing
    was given his body by the lake's water spirit. He felt freed of old
    burdens. Joy replaced hatred and the mistrust he had always kept like a
    tomahawk at the ready against his enemies. He could enjoy being naked like
    the carefree boy he was so long ago.
