 Chapter 11
The Devil in the Details

They returned to their cabin just before 7:00 in the evening. Their time at the swimming pool had renewed their energy more than made them tired. As they got out of their wet swim trunks, Kevin once again studied his grandfather's body while hoping that he would be as fit and attractive at 54. He briefly considered suggesting relaxing in bed for a while, even though he was not tired, because it might lead to more than relaxation. However, he didn't want to appear, again, as too eager for sex. At least for a while, he would let his grandpa take the lead. Perhaps more to the point, he was hungry. Very hungry. As only a teenage boy can be.

Jerry was also hungry and suggested that they go back to the Lodge for dinner. "Roughing it in the woods is fun," he said, "but there's a lot to be said for sitting at a table and having a good meal. You did pack your suit and tie, didn't you?"

Kevin was only momentarily taken aback at the thought of formal attire just to eat dinner but then recognized that he was being teased. "The only suit I have is my birthday suit," he shot back with a grin. "Will they let me in that way?"

"I guess not," Jerry mused. "Besides, I don't want most of the women and a few of the men leering at you. Just put on some clothes -- anything will do. This is a resort in the woods and everything is casual."

Over dinner, they agreed that the next day would be spent hiking at least some of the trails through the surrounding forest and hills. The following day, they would try horseback riding. Kevin also wanted to swim more so they would carve out time for that. "Anything else you want to do?" Jerry asked. Kevin showed his trademark wicked grin but Jerry ignored it and added, "There's a room full of video and arcade games over there. Maybe we could spend some time in there. Or we could play some tennis."

Kevin, whose mind had been frequently returning to the chance to have sex, scowled at Jerry. He knew that his grandpa knew what he wanted to do but was teasing him again. "All of that sounds fun," he said, He looked around at the guests in nearby tables before carefully wording his reply. "As long as I'm with you, I'm happy."

Jerry immediately recognized Kevin's real meaning but had another purpose for appearing to remain ignorant. "We're together now. So you're happy now?"

"Yes," Kevin replied, becoming somewhat frustrated at his grandpa's continuing to evade what was in his mind and must surely be in his grandpa's mind. He glanced over his shoulder again and said, "But I could be happier."

"And what would make you happier, Kevin?"

The boy's irritation was now evident in his expression and yet another glance at the nearby tables. "You know. And I know that you know," he grumbled.

"I'm not sure I do, Kevin. And I want to make our vacation really special for you. What would make it special?"

Kevin was now exasperated. He felt that Jerry's teasing had gone too far and, in the restaurant, he could neither complain nor say anything to clarify that he was looking forward to an evening of sex. He suppressed the urge to say, in full voice, 'To go to bed with you. To have sex with you.' But, of course, he knew better. Instead, he sank into a sullen silence. After several bites of food while he tried to understand his grandfather's persistent teasing, it occurred to him. He looked up at Jerry and said, "That was a test, wasn't it?"

"A test?"

"You know. Condition one. You were testing me to see if I would remember what you said. About always being careful."

Jerry smiled and said, "I confess. I started out teasing but then decided to see how you would handle the situation. I have to give you an A minus."

"Minus? I thought I was better than that."

"I'll explain on the way back to the cabin."

Jerry signed the check for dinner and they got up to leave. Before going back to the cabin, Jerry made arrangements to pick up two box lunches at breakfast the next day. Then, walking to the cabin, Kevin's curiosity led him to say, "Minus? What did I say wrong?"

"It's not what you said, Kevin. That was very creative. It's what you did -- looking around before you said something and then talking in a low voice. It's not what people would expect from a grandfather and grandson. Although it is not very likely, it could draw the attention of snoopy people. What you said was perfectly innocent. It's an example, although a poor one, of how we must always be on guard about what we do and say when we're together. You never know when some little detail in a conversation will arouse suspicion."

"I'm sorry," Kevin said.

"Don't be sorry. You handled the situation extremely well. I could tell that you were very carefull in what you said. I'm proud of you for that."

By this time, they had arrived at their cabin. Jerry unlocked the door and they walked inside. Kevin closed the door and locked it. Turning to Jerry, he said, "We're alone now. Can I say what's really on my mind?"

"Of course."

"I'm horny as hell. I want to go to bed with you. I want to play with you and have you play with me. Maybe all night long. Of course, if you say no, I'll have to abide by condition two but I won't like it and I'll have to go off somewhere and jerk off thinking about you. There! I've said it!"

Jerry stared at Kevin just long enough for Kevin to grow uneasy, fearing that his outburst had somehow displeased his grandpa. Then, without warning, Jerry grabbed him, pushed him onto his back on the bed, climbed on top of him, and began kissing him. Delighted, Kevin threw his arms around Jerry and returned the kiss.

It wasn't long before they were both naked and rolling around together on the bed -- each one competing to arouse, stimulate, and please the other -- both of them fully occupied by unadorned erotic pleasure. As Jerry was grinding his firm cock against Kevin's equally rigid member, Kevin said forcefully, "No! Stop! Please!"

Jerry was startled and backed off. "Are you all right? Did I hurt you?" he asked with sudden concern.

"I'm fine," Kevin reassured him. "It's just that I was afraid I would shoot and I don't want to yet. Can we just cuddle a little while? Just until ... you know ... until the urge passes?"

"Of course," Jerry replied in relief that Kevin was okay.

They lay tightly pressed together in an embrace and occasionally kissing until Kevin started to chuckle.

"So what's funny?"

"Condition two. It's usually you that says no. I never expected that I would say it."

Jerry smiled. "I'm glad you did, Kevin. For two reasons. First, you should always say it when you don't want to do something or, in this case, when you just want to slow down. Secondly, by saying that you wanted a pause, you showed that you were in control of your feelings. You weren't just racing toward orgasm."

"Thanks," Kevin replied, "but I wanted you to stop for another reason It feels a lot better to shoot when you're sucking me. Is that being selfish?"

"No, it's being honest." Jerry decided to take the opportunity to add another lesson to Kevin's education and, at the same time, remind him of condition three. "When you find a partner, you must always be honest with him. If the two of you are honest with each other, it builds trust, which is essential to respect and love."

Kevin thought about that for a moment before asking, "Suppose I don't want to do something but my partner does. Wouldn't it be better to give in and do it ... as a favor?"

"Sometimes," Jerry replied, pleased that Kevin was thinking of a partner's needs taking priority over his own. "But everybody has limits on what they want or are willing to do. You told Patrick 'no' back at the lake. He wanted to fuck you and you may have wanted it too but you didn't give in. That was right and smart. Sometimes, though, you will do things to or with your partner that you don't feel like doing just to give your partner pleasure. That's being kind and loving. There's no single answer, Kevin. It depends on the situation."

"I think I understand," Kevin said. "I should do things for a partner that I love ... because I love him ... that I wouldn't do for just anybody."

"That's one reason and an important one. But there may be times, even with a partner you love, that you should say 'no.'"

"For instance?" Kevin asked.

Jerry thought for a moment before an example came to mind. "When your grandmother and I got married, I wanted her to suck me off but she said she really didn't want to do it. She thought it was gross and perverted. She said 'no' even though I wanted her to do it. She had the right to do that and I had to respect that right. So, if there is anything that you really object to, I think it's all right to say 'no.' You can do tactfully and I believe in the long run your honesty will only strengthen the bond between you."

Kevin was silent for a few minutes while he absorbed what he had heard. But then he said, "Speaking of honesty, I'm still horny.
Can we play now?"

Jerry chuckled and said, "I'm glad you asked. We've been doing too much thinking and it's time for play."

Kevin giggled and immediately began to kiss and lick his way down Jerry's chest and stomach while fondling his still-erect cock. "Hold on, pardner," Jerry said. Kevin was surprised by the interruption and even more surprised when Jerry moved into a 69 position. "That's better," Jerry continued. "Now we both have what we want." Kevin immediately got the message and eagerly wrapped his lips around Jerry's cock while enjoying the sensations emanating from his own groin as Jerry furiously sucked on the boy's manhood.

As expected, Kevin shot first but it only temporarily delayed his efforts to bring Jerry to an extremely satisfying orgasm.

They cuddled and embraced for about twenty minutes with their bodies intertwined and, it seemed to both, merged.

Eventually, Kevin whispered, "Thanks, grandpa. I've never been happier."

"That's all it takes? A little sex play to make you so happy?"

"That's part of it," Kevin said seriously and not reacting to Jerry's obvious joke. "The other part is helping me understand what I am. And telling me how to cope. I know now what to say and not say, what to do and not do, how to avoid problems."

"Yes, you know a lot more now but you still have a lot to learn. There are a lot of details and nuances in finding the right partner and then building a lasting, satisfying relationship. There's a lot more to learn about being gay in a narrow-minded society."

"But I have you to help me," Kevin said.

I'll help you as much as I can. The devil is in the details, Kevin. I don't know all of the details. Maybe nobody does. You'll have to discover them along the way. But I'm available ... any time that you need advice."

"What if I need something else?"

Jerry scowled, sensing the trap that Kevin was laying. "Whenever you need advice, whenever you need to talk to somebody, I'll be there. But don't expect that I will cancel condition three."

"But, grandpa ..." Kevin pleaded.

"You will find somebody your own age. This vacation will end. After that, we can talk about sex whenever you want to but our sex will end. I don't like that any more than you do but it has to be. Our pact must remain in force and that includes all of the conditions -- secrecy, the right to say no, and your responsibility to find a partner."

Kevin knew that further objections would be futile and may even anger his grandpa so he just snuggled in more tightly to the man who meant so much to him. He still harbored the hope that his grandpa would relent and grant an occasional session of sensual pleasure but he would have to make his appeal at another time.

For his part, Jerry dreaded the end of the vacation and in unguarded moments regretted imposing the third condition. However, his resolve was buttressed by the firm conviction that it was the best and only way to help his grandson.
