Chapter Ten

It was a dark time for the world, with all of Europe involved in a great war. America's long-standing policy of isolationism left the United States reluctant to involve itself with what was popularly perceived, among the American public, as a European war.

Early in 1917, Germany resumed its policy of unrestricted submarine
warfare. This, combined with public indignation over the Zimmermann
telegram, led to a final break of relations with the Central Powers. After
further U-boat attacks on American merchant ships, President Woodrow Wilson
requested that Congress declare war on Germany, which it did on April 6,
1917

The House approved the war resolution as did the Senate. Wilson hoped a
separate peace could be achieved with Austria-Hungary; however, when it
kept its loyalty to Germany, the US declared war on Austria-Hungary in
December 1917.

Although the American contribution to the war was important, particularly
in terms of the threat posed by an increasing US infantry presence in
Europe, the United States was never formally a member of the Entente, but
an "Associated Power". Significant numbers of American troops only arrived
in Europe in the summer of 1918.

Germany calculated that it would be some time before large numbers of
American troops could be sent to Europe, and that, in any event, the U-boat
offensive would prevent their arrival. Still, the United States had been in
a state of full military-related production, aiding the Entente for quite
some time, and had also loaned the Allied powers vast sums of money.

For these reasons, the Germans had made the decision to resume unrestricted
submarine warfare, despite the threat of U.S. intervention, gambling that
they would win the war before America could make an impact on the
battlefield.

The United States Navy sent a battleship group to Scapa Flow to join with
the British Grand Fleet, a number of destroyers to Queenstown, Ireland and
several submarines to the Azores and to Bantry Bay, Ireland to help guard
convoys. Several regiments of U.S. Marines were also dispatched to
France. However, it would be some time before the United States would be
able to contribute significant manpower to the Western and Italian fronts.

The British and French wanted the United States to send its infantry to
reinforce their troops already on the battle lines. Indeed, throughout the
war, the American forces were short of their own artillery, aviation, and
engineering units. However, General John J. Pershing, American
Expeditionary Force (AEF) commander, resisted breaking up American units
and using them as reinforcements for British Empire and French
units. Without experience in this type of warfare, Pershing ordered the use
of frontal assaults, which had been discarded by that time by British
Empire and French commanders as too costly in lives of their troops. As a
result, the AEF suffered a very high rate of casualties in its operations
in the summer and fall of 1918.

Montana 1917

Having just buried Chief Roaring Thunder, Golden Hawk turned his attention
to an active role of seeking the seat of Senator from Montana. Golden Hawk
campaigned vigorously for the seat and won it by a narrow margin because of
the Indian vote.

Although the American Indian would not be given the right to vote in most
states until 1924, Montana let the Native American vote as a way to ensure
peace. It was this vote that gave Golden Hawk the seat of Senator as well
as a voice in Congress to speak for those people that he held precious to
him. He had united the different tribes which gave them great power when
fully united and no longer warring with each other.

"Make your people proud, Golden Hawk," Strong Bear said as he and those
close to Golden Hawk gathered at the train depot to see him off on his trip
to Washington.

"I will my chief and I shall miss all of you dearly," he said thickly, his
voice filled with emotion.

He gave hugs to all and with tear filled eyes before he boarded the
train. Standing on the platform of the caboose, he waved at his love ones
until they could no longer be seen and then went to his private car.

"So you're the new senator that will be representing us in Washington," the
conductor said, shaking Golden Hawk's hand.

"Yes sir that's me," he proudly said and then went forward to his private
car.

One of the privileges of being a senator was having your own car when
traveling by train. Although not his taste in decor, he had assumed the car
from the previous senator and left it pretty much as it was.

The car was rich with Mahogany paneling and richly upholstered
furniture. It also had a four poster bed that until now, was not something
that Golden Hawk was accustomed to sleeping on, having spent his years
married to Roaring Thunder sleeping on pelts and blankets.

Golden Hawk sat back in an overstuffed chair and looked out the window as
the country side rolled by and soon fell asleep. A sudden knock on the door
caused Golden Hawk to jump from his sleep and look out of the window.

He had somehow dosed off and never noticed when the train had stopped to
pick up other passengers along the way.

"Come in," he said and then gasped when the most handsome man he'd ever
seen stepped into the room.

Dressed in a full set of buckskins, Jacob Running Water stepped into the
car and closed the door behind him. His long, silky black hair hung mid-way
down his back. His looks were classic Indian, except for his eyes, which
were green, as green as the first grass of spring and they totally
captivated Golden Hawk.

"How may I help you young man?" Golden Hawk asked, his thought telling him
silently just how he would like to assist him, especially when he let his
gaze drift to the young man's loin and he saw how magnificently he was
endowed.

"Are you Senator Cooper, sir?" he asked standing tall and proud.

"I am, and just who might you be?" Golden Hawk replied after a lengthy
pause, still not use to using his white name and standing to meet the man
who was now offering his hand in friendship.

"I'm your assistant sir, Jacob, Jacob Running Water," he said, surprising
the senator.

"My assistant, I was not aware that I had been assigned an assistant
already," he said. "I was told that I would be choosing my staff once I
arrived in Washington," he said and looked suspiciously at this handsome
man.

Jacob grew quiet and moved nervously from side to side as he contemplated
his next remark. Knowing how all Indians took pride in telling the truth,
he gave way to honesty rather than deceit.

"I'm sorry sir, I lied when I said that I was your assistant. But I have a
good reason sir, for I have followed your campaign and I embraced your
thoughts as if they were my very own thoughts that you were saying as you
campaigned across Montana."

"Sit down ah..."

"Jacob sir, but my people call me Running Water and it's my white mother
that gave me the name Jacob."

"So which do you prefer, because I too was called Golden Hawk by my people
once I embraced the Choctaw people, but for purposes that you can identify
with, I now go by my white name of Kyle Cooper," he confided.

"Yes sir, I can most definitely identify with you. Even though I am Sioux
and white, I was raised as a white. You see my father died when I was six
and my mother went back to live with her parents after."

"I see, so tell me Jacob, I'll call you that because I assume that is what
you were called after you rejoined the white community," he said and Jacob
nodded. "You see Jacob I am new to Washington and I haven't yet decided
whether or not I will need an assistant."

"Oh but you will sir, for you will be terribly overburdened with work."

"Really, and just how do you know this young man, for you don't seem the
type or of age to have been in the political arena?"

"I just graduated from Harvard this past May where I majored in political
science."

"My word, Harvard, now it's my turn to be impressed," Kyle said, smiling
warmly at him. "If you will pardon my asking this, but just how did a man
or half-breed as most whites would call you, get into such a prestigious
school?" he asked, noticing how Jacob cringed at the name `half-breed'.

"My mother's father was once the headmaster there, so he got me into the
school sir," he proudly said, choosing to ignore the name.

"Was it hard for you...being redskin, to get along with the white
students?"

"Yes sir and I was called many names because of my skin's color, including
half-breed. But I did not let that deter me in my studies and I finished
tops in my class sir. I can say that I proudly beat out all of the white
students with my grades."

"So tell me son, why do you feel that I need you as an assistant?"

"Well I did my practicum in Washington as part of my schooling, and it was
there that I worked for Senator Smith as his assistant, keeping his
schedule straight, making sure that he was where he was suppose to be and
on time sir. I was also in charge of scheduling his appointments so that he
wasn't spread to thin with his time. He was quite old and he needed his
times of rest so that he was not overtaxed, bodily."

"As this is my first time in Washington, I had no idea as to what would be
expected of me," Golden Hawk said.

"If I am not being to forward sir, might I suggest something?" he asked and
Kyle nodded. "You might want to use your white name exclusively, or else
you may find yourself running up against a brick wall so to speak," he
suggested.

"I am quite proud of my Choctaw name, but I do see what you mean. I guess
it would be best if I used Kyle instead of Golden Hawk."

"I would suggest that you use Kyle," he paused, "that is unless everyone
knows of your association with the Choctaw. Although my name is Running
Water in Sioux and Jacob was my white name given me, I go by Jacob Mathews,
Mathews was my mother's maiden name."

"Well with this all being said, I welcome you to my team as my executive
assistant, Jacob," Kyle said shaking hands with the lad. "Now tell me young
man, just how old are you?"

"I am twenty-two, sir," he said.

"My but you are young for having such knowledge Jacob. Also, when we are
alone together, would you please call me Kyle, I find that sir is way to
old sounding... not that I am a young man any longer."

"Why you can't be more than thirty-five...Jacob." He said, flattering Kyle.

"I am forty, young man, but today you make me feel twenty," he said
chuckling, his eyes raking over Jacob's well toned body. "Now tell me, how
are you traveling? Do you have a private car also?"

"Who me... I can hardly afford the club car, much less a car as plush as
this Kyle. I am traveling like most of the others on board, sitting up in
the front club cars until we arrive in Washington."

Kyle looked to his bed and saw that it could easily accommodate two men and
his mind, now driven by desire, came up with an idea.

"May I offer you a proposition Jacob," the young man nodded, "seeing how I
have this large private car and a bed that can easily accommodate both of
us for sleeping? Would you like to share it with me and that way we can get
better acquainted before arriving in Washington?"

"I could not impose on you like that Kyle, but I do thank you," he said and
when he gazed at the large bed, he blushed, for he too wish to better know
this man that he had followed politically.

"Nonsense, I have all this and to tell you the truth, I am use to sleeping
on a bed of pelts and blankets," they both laughed heartily and Jacob, who
also desired more with this man, agreed to share the quarters with Kyle.

"Now tell me Jacob, what is your intake on this war that is raging over in
Europe?"

"Personally, I cannot see how we as a nation can continue our isolationist
stand for much longer. We are sending goods to support our allies as well
as building up troops over there."

"I was not aware that we were sending troops to Europe," he said in shock
of how little he knew of the world and its goings on. "But surely President
Wilson does not wish to become involved in a war, seeing how our own civil
war is not that far behind us."

"I do see President Wilson asking Congress to declare war against Austria
and Hungary before the year's end sir...err Kyle. I don't see how he
cannot, what with our current showing of support to our allies there."

"Really, the year's end...that soon huh?" he said kneading his brow.

"Shall I get that for you senator?" Jacob asked when a knock on the door
interrupted their conversation, Kyle nodded.

"I have come to take the Senator Cooper's order for dinner sir," a black
porter said.

"Do come in young man," Kyle called out, surprising the man with his
addressing him so politely.

"Yes'sa," he politely said and entered the car, carrying a menu in his hand
and handing it to Kyle.Kyle moved to the sofa and motioned for Jacob to
sit beside him so that they both could read the menu. Being that close to
each other, it ignited a spark between them, causing Jacob to move away
some. Kyle noticed how quickly Jacob moved and he wondered what he would be
like when it came time for bed, seeing how he was accustomed to sleeping
naked.

"I'll have the roast chicken with potatoes and gravy. I would also like a
side of green beans if I may," he said and handed the menu to Jacob so he
could order.

"I'll have a ham sandwich," he said, noticing the prices and knowing just
how little money he had.

"A ham sandwich...he'll have the same dinner as I am ah...Jackson," he
said, reading the man's nametag.

"Yes'sa and thank you sa," he said taking the menu and leaving the car.

"Kyle please, I would prefer a ham sandwich," Jacob argued.

"Now Jacob, I heard you gasp when you saw the prices. I also figured out
from our previous conversation that your means are quite limited...am I
correct to assume this young man?"

"Yes sir...I mean Kyle," Jacob mumbled lowering his head, embarrassed by
his lack of funds.

"Now don't you worry about money, my mother and grandfather left me quite
well off when they died. Having lived most of my years as an Indian, I have
not had much use for the money," he told the lad, resting his hand on
Jacob's thigh.

The heat from his hand burned clear to Jacob's loin, arousing him in ways
that he'd never known before.

"Even so Kyle, I would feel like a kept man if I allowed you to pay my way
on this trip," he said shuffling uncomfortably on the seat.

"Then let's look at it as a fringe benefit to your position as my executive
assistant," Jacob smiled and nodded in agreement.

Dinner arrived within the hour and once eaten, Kyle and Jacob spent the
rest of their time discussing politics and where to live once they arrived
in Washington.

"I don't know about you young man, but this man is exhausted. Between
campaigning and then preparing for this trip, I have not gotten a good
night's sleep in almost six months," he said rising and heading to the bed.

"I'm tired also...it's been a long day for me also. I was up before dawn so
I could be at the depot when the train arrived."

Standing on each side of the bed, the two men looked at each other
nervously, each waiting for the other to begin undressing.

"I sleep naked Kyle," Jacob blurted out, a blush covering his cheeks as he
looked at Kyle.

"As do I Jacob. How about I soften the light so that it will be easier for
both of us to undress?"

"Thank you Kyle," Jacob said and turned his back to Kyle after Kyle lowered
the wick on the kerosene lamp.

Kyle could not help it; he had to see Jacob's naked body. With Roaring
Thunder's failing health, it had been over three years since they had had
sex together, other than with his own hand. Now being so close to his
handsome young man, gave Kyle a stir in his groin that he'd not felt for
years.

Both naked, they scurried under the blankets and suddenly their asses
touched, sending that spark of electricity coursing through them. Exhausted
from the day's travel, they both fell asleep, their backs to each other and
both struggling with their feelings.

***

Jacob woke just before sunrise and noticed how Kyle was snuggled against
him.  Jacob could feel Kyle's cock as it pressed tightly against the crack
of his ass.  So he pushed back against it, grinding his ass to Kyle's cock
and he heard Kyle start to moan.  Jacob turned and saw Kyle looking at him,
but the look upon his face, said that he was not amused by his actions.

"Are you trying to start something kid, because I do not think it wise to
do this? It has been way to long since I have had sex and if you continue I
will not be held accountable for my actions."

"I know of the love that you shared with Roaring Thunder, and I am of the
same mind," Jacob confided, snuggling closer to Kyle.

"How, for other than those of our village, we were careful of our love
amongst the white community."

"My mother heard through some soldiers at Fort Powell about Strong Bear and
Yellow Hawk. She was also told about Roaring Thunder and his lover who was
the grandson of the colonel that once commanded the fort."

"Really, for we were not aware that the soldiers knew of my secret affair
with the chief, because we were always careful when and where we showed
each other our love."

"Well from what I understand, and this is pure hearsay, a soldier once came
across you and Roaring Thunder in the loft of the stable," Jacob said,
reminding Kyle of the many times when Roaring Thunder came to see Kyle's
grandfather, they would sneak off to the stable to make love.

"Well yes, we often shared our romantic interludes in the loft, but we were
always certain that no one was around. Just as I am sure that you might
think this is right Jacob, but it can only lead to heartache and trouble
for us," Kyle told him.

"I can't help it; I am in love with you Kyle." Jacob gave him a kiss that
was so passionate...so strong that it left no room for doubt as to where
Jacob stood on his feelings.

Kyle's need to experience love again caused him to passionately embrace
Jacob and kiss him hard and long.  He poured into his kiss all the love and
emotion that he had once felt for Roaring Thunder and was, at this moment,
feeling for Jacob.

Jacob felt Kyle's passion and emotion, and it touched his soul deeply. He
could not believe that a man as manly and strong as Kyle could feel such
passion so deep within him for a man.  He broke his kiss and stared into
Kyle's eyes, and he saw his reflection in them, and in that reflection he
saw the love that Kyle was feeling. He only hoped that it was for him.

"I love you Kyle." Jacob said, pushing back a stray lock of hair from his
brow and then kissed the spot.

"Jacob, how can that be so, we only met yesterday?

"I never believed in love at first sight, but lying here with you and
having followed your campaign, I am certain that I am in love with you."

"Just stop and think about us Jacob, why I'm nearly old enough to be your
father," Kyle said, sitting up and turning his back to the man as he sat on
the side of the bed, his face resting buried in his hands.

Moving over closer to Kyle, Jacob softly ran his hand up and down Kyle's
back. Jacob moved to his knees and began nuzzling Kyle's neck, blowing
softly into his ear before he gently nibbled it. Easing his hands around to
Kyle's broad chest, Jacob kneaded his chest and then pinched Kyle's nipples
until Kyle could take no more.

Kyle stood up and turned, his eyes now locked with those of Jacob as he
forced the young man back down onto his back, covering Jacob's body with
his own.

"Right or wrong Jacob, and I am most sure that it's the latter, I am not
going to withhold my love any longer." Kyle affectionately told him and he
kissed him hard, bordering on violent, as he slipped his tongue into
Jacob's mouth.

Kyle ran his hands over Jacob's muscular chest and abs, before he took him
in his arms.  Jacob never felt so loved and secure as he did at that moment
with Kyle's arms around him.  He felt warm and desired, but the best thing
was, he felt loved.  He brought his arms up around Kyle's neck and held him
closer.  Kyle pulled Jacob tighter to him before he kissed his shoulder and
then nibbled on his ear.

"Oh my God," Jacob whispered, "This feels so good and right Kyle." Kyle was
turned on, and he knew it was because of Jacob's hard body and his lust for
him.

Kyle sat up quickly, his knees straddling the man's hips as he took a few
moments to allow his senses to take in the handsomeness of this man that
was looking up at him and then he kissed Jacob passionately.  Jacob sat up,
moved to Kyle's side and took his cock into his hand and leaned down,
licking the pre-cum oozing from it.

"Do you want me to stop Jacob?" Kyle asked as he looked into Jacob's
watering eyes.  "Because Jacob, once I take this big beautiful cock into my
mouth, I am going to suck it and make your wildest dreams come true." Kyle
said looking down at Jacob, who was mesmerized as he looked up at Kyle.

"No Kyle ...oh God please don't stop," was all that Jacob could say as he
fought his urge to cum, while Kyle kissed him once again.

Jacob was very close to coming and Kyle hadn't even begun to suck his cock
yet. Kyle saw how nervous Jacob was also, because he recognized the look
from that first time with Roaring Thunder, wondering if what they were
about to embark on was right.  He had seen it in Roaring Thunder's eyes
just before they had changed their friendship, from friends to lovers.

Once they broke their kiss, Kyle kissed and sucked hard on Jacob's neck,
leaving his mark, before he kissed his way down to Jacob's erect nipples.
He licked and nibbled on them, sending passion filled sensations coursing
through Jacob's body, which caused Jacob to moan in utter delight.

As Kyle teased them, he knew that it had been a long time since even he had
been pleased in such a way, but Kyle wanted nothing more than to please
Jacob, for his pleasure would come from pleasuring this Adonis. He slowly
kissed his way down to Jacob's manhood and enveloped it fully with his
mouth with one gulp, causing Jacob's hip to urgently thrust upward.

Jacob's cock was buried down Kyle's throat as he sucked it zealously.

"Mmmmm," Kyle moaned as he drank in the aroma of Jacob's scent, his nose
nestled in his soft pubic hair.  It was the heady scent of a man's man and
it intoxicated Kyle.  Kyle savored its sweet aroma, as one would a fine
wine, intoxicating him deeply.

"Mmmmm," Kyle moaned again, as his senses filled with the scent of his
lover and he became drunk with lust.

"Please slow down Kyle."  Jacob moaned, barely audible as he wrestled to
gain control over his looming climax.

Kyle dropped Jacob's manhood to admire its beauty and he noticed how fat
and long it was, much larger than Roaring Thunder's.  Before he lowered his
mouth back on it, he extended his tongue and ran it around the sensitive
head, which caused Kyle to groan out in pleasure.

"Please Kyle, slow down, you have me so close and I really don't want to
come just yet," he moaned.

Kyle dropped Jacob's cock from his mouth and sucked his balls, but it was
too little too late for Jacob to hold back.

"Damn it Kyle...just suck me I'm coming," he moaned with total abandonment,
unable to hold back his climax any longer.

Kyle quickly enveloped Jacob's cock with his mouth and brought his lover to
an ultimate climax.  Jacob spewed his sperm down Kyle's throat, his hands
firmly holding Kyle to his groin.  Jacob shot more and more of his seed,
thrusting upward faster and deeper, until he had surrendered it all to his
lover, releasing his hold and breathing raggedly.

"Damn, that was one hell of a blowjob." Jacob moaned in satisfaction,
riding out the tide of his orgasm.

Kyle didn't respond nor wait for more from Jacob, but instead he lifted
Jacob's legs unto his shoulders as he licked and nibbled his way to Kyle's
hidden treasure, teasing his rosebud with his tongue.  He invaded his
rosebud with his tongue and made love to it until Jacob was thrashing about
in ecstasy, insane from the pleasure that Kyle was giving him, sending him
into a sexual frenzy.

"Fuck me Kyle... fuck your man," he yelled, unable to control the passion
that now coursed through his body.  "I need to feel your cock deep within
me Kyle."

Sitting up and looking at Jacob with bewilderment in his eyes, Kyle
questioned this new word...fuck.

"What is this word that you used...fuck, for I have never heard of such a
word," he questioned.

"It appeared in John Ash's 1775 dictionary defining what we are about to do
Kyle, make love. Although its use is considered vulgar and degrading, it
simply means to have intercourse," he explained causing Kyle to blush.

"I would much rather think that I am going to make love to you, instead of
fucking you, Jacob."

"Make love or fuck me, I really don't care what its called as long as you
do it to me my love," he adamantly said, pulling Kyle's mouth to his in a
frantic, torrid kiss of passion and lust.

Kyle returned the kiss and moved down to Jacob's cock and once again took
in his mouth. Jacob knew that Kyle was making another memory, but now it
was with him, instead of reliving his memories of Roaring Thunder.

Kyle wanted Jacob to experience lovemaking with him, so he purposed in his
mind to give him every pleasure that Roaring Thunder had given him over the
years.  Kyle's seductive attention to Jacob's flaccid manhood soon had
rising quickly to its full glory. Jacob arched his back in complete
surrender and let out a moan so deep, that the vibrations reverberated
through his cock to Kyle.

After a long while, Kyle could feel Jacob's imminent climax, as his cock
began to swell once again and throb.  Kyle relinquished his hold on Jacob's
cock, because he wanted this time to last as long as possible for
Jacob. Slowly he kissed and licked his way back up to Kyle's lips were he
lingered, their lips joining and their tongues doing the dance of love,
while their hearts played the music to which they danced to.

Kyle broke their kiss and reached to the nightstand for the some ointment
that he had brought; he lubed Kyle's ass and then his own anxious cock.
Kyle paused looking down at Kyle, "are you sure that you want me to do
this," he asked, his eyes filled with his need.

"I've never been surer sweetheart," Jacob replied and then with their lips
meeting, Kyle slowly slid his cock into his lover's rosebud. Kyle buried it
fully into Jacob's hot, tight sheath and then paused.

"Oh my God Kyle," Jacob cried out as Kyle fully impaled him with his
throbbing cock. "Wait...don't move until I get accustomed to having you in
me, for this is my first time doing such a thing," he gasped as beads of
sweat formed on his brow and his breathing became more ragged as intense
pain coursed through him.

Feeling his muscles relaxing and impaled on Kyle's hard cock, Jacob's eyes
rolled back as Kyle began to make love to him, moving rhythmically
slow. When Kyle felt his lover relax, he moved more urgently as his own
need to release became great. When Kyle felt his cock glide effortlessly in
and out of Jacob's ass, his mind drifted back to the many times spent in
the arms of Roaring Thunder, the chief's manhood pounding his heat.

Jacob laid there and watched the man who was making love to him and his
eyes filled up with tears. Kyle had found them a rhythm that had them
moving as one and as their eyes met and seeing his tears, Kyle lowered his
mouth down and kissed him tenderly and long.

Kyle slowly made love to his lover for some time, but when his own climax
became imminent and he could no longer prolong it, he increased his rhythm,
taking urgent, deep plunging strokes, as Jacob's hips rose up to meet
Kyle's downward thrusts. Locked in love's embrace, Kyle's eyes never left
Jacob's gaze as their tide of love quickly enveloped them, they moved
feverishly in unison, each seeking paradise from the other and yet seeking
to find it together.

Kyle had the look of a man in love in his eyes and his hands roamed
feverishly over Jacob's sweat covered body.  If ever two men could be one,
it was they, as their love flowed through their eyes and their locked
bodies, their rhythm carrying them closer to their climax...to paradise.

"Oh Kyle I'm coming again...fuck me!" Jacob howled as he grabbed Kyle by
the hips, his fingers digging into the firmness of Kyle's ass and thrusting
up to get more of Kyle's cock in him.

"So am I Jacob...oh God, so am I," Kyle moaned as he vehemently pounded
Jacob's warm velvet sheath, his rhythm now controlling his body.  Kyle felt
his sperm churning for release in his balls and rose rapidly as is it too,
sought to escape.

Kyle moaned, his eyes closed, and he surrendered to his climax.  He was
pounding his lover's heat harder, deeper, and no longer in control of his
own body's movements.

"Aaaagggghhhhh damn...take my seed," Kyle howled as his cock shot forth its
seed deep into Jacob's hard, muscular ass.

"That's it baby...fuck me and give me your seed," Jacob howled as he
eagerly thrust upward, their movements controlled totally by their rhythm.

They both climaxed together and there was such an explosion of passion that
was so intense that they shouted in ecstasy, while their senses filled with
the power of their lovemaking, giving to each their all.  They kissed in a
tight embrace for what seemed an eternity, their hearts beating as one,
while their rhythm carried them away on the tide of love's afterglow.

When their tide finally ebbed, they laid there gazing into each other's
eyes, their bodies still joined together in love's embrace.  They were each
gasping for air when Kyle was the first to see what they were creating
between them, and again, his thoughts of their age difference still haunted
him.

"I should not have allowed this Jacob." Kyle said to him, as the difference
of their ages washed over him. "I am much too old for you Jacob; you
deserve a man that is closer to your age."

"Kyle, I wouldn't be here with you if I wanted someone closer to my age.
So let's not worry about our age difference any longer. I love you Kyle and
I have never experienced such lovemaking as I have with you today.  I know
our age difference bothers you, but I want you to be my mine always, Kyle."

"I'll admit that I too am falling in love with you and also I know that you
feel that you are in love with me, but damn it Jacob, how could we ever
make this work in Washington, for you of all people know how those gossip
mongers are?"

"Darling look at me, don't let our age difference, or what those gossip
hounds might say, bother or worry you. Let me take care of them and let
yourself handle what you need to do as senator."

"But your family, what would they think about us, for surely we cannot hide
what we are considering from their eyes? Surely your mother will see that
we are in love," Kyle worried, rolling off of Jacob and then pulling him
into his arms.

"As for my mother and that matter our friends, well they can either accept
the fact that we are in love or not, I really don't care Kyle.  Mother will
be fine with us and I think that she might even suspect that I prefer men
to women.  I sense it whenever she talks to me about finding someone to
share my life with.  She keeps saying that she sees me in a relationship
that is not conventional or what most would accept as normal."

"Oh God Jacob, I hope that she never finds out about Roaring Thunder and I
especially the relationship that we had together.  It could destroy my
career as well as any that you may seek in the future," he worried.

"We'll be careful as to how we act in public so that no one raises an
eyebrow of suspicion. Mother is not one to gossip nor would she tell others
if it meant bringing ruin or hardship to her son."

"Can that truly be done, keep our relationship private and behind closed
doors, because when you are near me Jacob, all that I want to do is, to
grab, touch and kiss you, you move me that much?

"Yes Kyle, it can truly be done and we will both need to exercise control."
He paused momentarily as his thoughts gathered. "So what do we do now
Kyle," Jacob asked, because he knew they were in love.

"What do you mean?" Kyle asked.

"About us, do we live separately or find a place where we can live
together?"

"I had not given that a thought Jacob, what do you propose?"

"I think that if we were to take a private residence in say...Alexandria,
Virginia, which is very close to Washington, we just might be able to live
happily and away from the eyes of those that seek gossip."

"I shall leave finding us a residence up to you then, because I have a room
reserved at the Willard," he said.

"I haven't been able to locate a room yet and assumed that I would have to
take one at the YMCA," he said.

"I'll arrange for us to have adjoining rooms at my hotel. After all, as
senator I will need my personal assistance close by," he said laughing.

"Again Kyle, please take the cost from my salary," Jacob urged, Kyle
nodded.

Kyle became quiet and was trying to find reasons why they shouldn't be
together, rather than why they should. "I really enjoyed this very much
with you and I know that you did also sweetheart, but I'm afraid, more for
you than myself."

"I won't lie and tell you Kyle that I'm not also afraid and that I don't
want this to continue, because I am and I do sweetheart.  I have been in
love with you for quite some time, as I said, having followed your rise in
the political arena since its inception, but I was afraid to come to you
and tell you. Kyle...I want us to be happy and I feel that my happiness
lies with you darling, as does yours with me."

"But wouldn't you be happier with someone that can give you all the energy
and love that you deserve, and not some old man that cannot keep up with a
man of your age?"

Jacob knew that Kyle was searching for a reason to push him aside and it
infuriated him.

"Listen Kyle, if this does happen between us... well then fine. But," he
paused and drew in a deep breath. "I will not allow us to continue
bickering over our age difference Kyle. I love you and I want us to move
forward, toward being husbands," Jacob said, causing Kyle to gasp as Jacob
moved up with his mouth and kissed Kyle heatedly. "Now as for the energy
needed to keep up with a man of my age, damn Kyle, you just made love to me
like a man that was half your age. You totally exhausted me
sweetheart... totally exhausted me."

"Alright Jacob, I surrender, but only because I am in love with you," Kyle
said, tossing aside his insecurity about their age difference. "We will
just have to find a place where we can live together so that we don't
arouse the attention of those that would seek to destroy our careers."

Jacob nodded in agreement and then they once again, kissed long and deep,
sealing their love. They got up and dressed, knowing that soon the train's
steward would be arriving with the menu for breakfast. So they began their
day, and their new relationship with a kiss, knowing that what they had
shared was something very special and worthy to be built upon.

"Father, my I have council with you," Hawk asked, stepping into his Strong
Bear's lodge.

"Ay-uh my son, you know that you never have to ask me this...just come and
talk with your father," he said and then his mind wondered if he may be
having problems with Flaming Arrow. "Are you and Flaming Arrow not happy
with your marriage...are their problems?"

"Gah-ween, for we are very happy father, but this is something else that I
wish to speak about," he said, his face showing his concern about how to
approach Strong Bear.

"I can see much worry in your eyes my son, why is this so?"

"Father, I am enlisting in the army of the United States, because Flaming
Arrow has been drafted," he blurted out, causing Strong Bear to gasp from
the shock of his words.

"Gah-ween my son, for no Choctaw has ever served as a blue coat to the
great chief in Washington," Strong Bear said, rising and going to a window.

Yellow Hawk came up behind Strong Bear, having given Hawk a knowing glance
and wrapped his arms around his husband.

"My love, won't you please sit and listen to what our son has to say,
before you dismiss him as if he were but one of your warriors whom you
disagree with?" Yellow Hawk asked softly, laying his head against the
broad, muscular back of Strong Bear.

Strong Bear turned, looked at Yellow Hawk first, kissed him and then nodded
and smiled before turning his attention back to Hawk.

"What is this thing that you call a draft?" he inquired.

"The draft includes all men from ages 21-30 in America father," he told
him."Do Walking Tall and Swift Sparrow agree with this...this draft
that you say is taking Flaming Arrow from you?"

"Gah-ween, but Walking Tall says that his son has no choice in the
matter. When such a notice calls a young man to serve, then he must
serve. That is why I wish to serve with him father, so that I can be there
beside him to protect him," he reasoned with his father.

"Ay-uh my son, I too know what it is to worry about someone you love and
want to always be there to protect them, but..." he paused giving Yellow
Hawk another glance. "But you are next in line to be chief and I don't see
how you going will allow you to stay with Flaming Arrow?"

"Golden Hawk has promised that he will get us assigned to Washington
together, father. As the new senator from Montana, he said that he'll use
his political influence to ascertain our service in Washington." He too
paused, because he knew how his next statement would be received by his
father. "As for being the next in line to be chief, father, I am giving my
place to Shadow," he glance nervously to both his fathers when he heard
them gasp.

"Gah-ween," Strong Bear shouted, rising angrily to stand. "You are my first
born and you are the next in line to be chief," he adamantly stated and
then hurried from his lodge, leaving Hawk standing bewildered and angered
also.

"My son, let what you have said to your father sink in, I am sure that with
my prodding, he'll see that Shadow is just as capable of being chief as you
are," Yellow Hawk said, embracing his son warmly.

He left Strong Bear's lodge and Hawk felt that he had injured his father
beyond fixing by his words.
