Chapter 27
I
Surprisingly, what we 
			discovered new about our love was that it could wait. There was no 
			urgency about it. We did not languish in our love; we grew, feeling 
			each moment, redefining our pleasure, discovering new ecstasy as we 
			modified our lovemaking. We could now make love slowly and 
			deliberately. Kisses, started with tenderness, grew in intensity and 
			power. We found that there was no need for top or bottom in our 
			relationship. We were lovers. Our greatest passion was to give 
			pleasure to the other. With that illumination, we knew that no 
			position was exclusive. We now understood the slightest nuance of 
			our lover's body . We were becoming competent experienced lovers. 
			Together, we were maturing as a loving couple.
			
			When we returned to bed after breakfast, the first thing we did was 
			take a short nap. Just holding Sean in my arms was an amazing gift. 
			I knew this was right because everything about it felt right. Those 
			who loved us most sensed that it was right, too. The future no 
			longer frightened me as it had been only days earlier. Now Sean and 
			I could face the future unafraid because we were with each other. 
			There would be some sad days, but there would be more happy days.
			
			As I stroked Sean's hair I thought about this. He slept peacefully 
			as the young should. Thinking about him, I realized that he was 
			remarkably talented, unbelievably handsome, sexually amazing, funny, 
			loving, and perfect in my eyes. He was mine for life. It was 
			astonishing! There was much for which to be thankful.
			
			Sean moved slightly, peeking at me with half opened eyes. He gave me 
			a sleepy little smile and smacked his lips. I kissed him softly. He 
			hugged me tighter. "I love you, Hon," he mumbled.
			
			"I love you, too, Baby," I told him, stroking his back, my fingers 
			brushing his beautiful butt. Without intending to do so, I fell 
			asleep.
********
Some time later I was awakened 
			by Sean who was running his finger lightly across my lips. I opened 
			my sleepy eyes, looking at him smiling down at me; he leaned forward 
			and kissed me.
			
			"So, my Lover, are you ready for some lovemaking, or would you like 
			to join me out on the porch watching the sunset? The colors should 
			be beautiful tonight. It's almost five o'clock. So far this has been 
			an extraordinary day for me. I love you, Ry. I know I tell you that 
			frequently, but I always feel better when I tell you," he said.
			
			"Baby, I never tire of your telling me that you love me. I love you, 
			too, Sean. Maybe I don't tell you often enough, but you can be 
			certain that I love you as much as one human being can love another. 
			I told you I was happy when I was with you, so I want to watch the 
			sunset with you. We need to get on some warm clothes, or our cocks 
			and balls will shrivel up to nothing. Neither of us would like that, 
			would we? Let's get dressed," I told him.
			
			In short order we were dressed warmly, grabbing an outer coat from 
			the closet. The sunset took my breath away; I instinctively pulled 
			Sean to me. The sky was awash in shades of vermilion with dashes of 
			yellow and orange. There were borders of magenta darkening to shades 
			of purple. Neither of us spoke as we watched in awe. The show was 
			short lived; however, as the sky continued to darken until only some 
			of the vermilion and purple peeked above the horizon. Then it was 
			gone! It had been so beautiful that my heart hurt; I felt so small, 
			so insignificant, a speck in the wide universe. I hugged Sean 
			tightly, turned to him and kissed him with a kiss I hoped conveyed 
			the depth of my emotions.
			
			"Ry, every time I watch a beautiful sunset like this one, I 
			experience a joy that is too intense to describe. I feel tiny when I 
			see the enormity of the heavens. But when you hug me and kiss me 
			gently, I know that I am important because you love me. I know that 
			love is; after all, what makes life what it is: life is a journey to 
			the stars with the one you love, and who loves you," he said softly.
			
			"Sean, that is beautiful and profound. You never cease to surprise 
			me with your astonishing understanding of life. Your sensitivity 
			puts me to shame, Lover. You feel intensely much that others don't 
			experience. Believe me, Baby, when I watched that sunset, I was 
			swept to a level of joy I can't explain. I couldn't speak. We both 
			experienced it much the same. Love can make us wiser and more 
			attuned to miracles," I said.
			
			"You know something, Ry? As we spend time together, I realize that 
			love is much more important than sex. I like sex, Ry, don't 
			misunderstand me. But when there isn't any love involved, sex is 
			fleeting and only meets the urges of the moment. When we make love, 
			sex helps us to express our love; it isn't just there to relieve our 
			sexual tension. No, I think it brings us together in a profound way; 
			our two beings are one in that fleeting moment. Sex by itself, 
			doesn't do that. That's why I told you that night that I only wanted 
			you to make love to me. Ry, that's what I want now," Sean said.
			
			We went back into the cabin where we dropped our outer coats on the 
			sofa. In the bedroom, we quietly undressed. We stood there naked, 
			looking at each other. I was overwhelmed by my love for Sean. 
			Although he appealed to me sexually, and I wanted to give him 
			pleasure, I really wanted to make love to him, to allow him to feel 
			the magnitude of my love for him. I walked to him, took him into my 
			arms and gently pulled him to me.
			
			Looking deeply into his eyes, I could see there not lust, but love. 
			With what was a brush of his lips with mine, I kissed him. It was 
			powerful to me, and Sean's body was shaking slightly. He put his 
			arms around my neck, and rested his head on my shoulder. I kissed 
			his hair, enjoying his scent. My hands slowly explored his body, 
			lightly, like a feather being drawn across the surface. Sean 
			shivered, raised his head and kissed me. My erection was full by 
			this time, and Sean, who had pressed his erect penis against me, was 
			also stimulated. Picking him up and taking him into my arms, I laid 
			him on the bed.
			
			As I stood beside the bed, I viewed my beloved. He was perfect. He 
			smiled up at me, inviting me to join him in our bed. I lay beside 
			him on the bed. My hands gently moved over his body, I was not 
			hurrying. Sean, moved under my hands, but never asked me to hurry 
			nor to stop. Our lovemaking continued with tenderness and affection. 
			Both of us were able to reach two amazing climaxes. It was 
			wonderful!
			
			Just before we were slipping off to sleep, Sean said to me, "Ry, I 
			love you, Hon. Our lovemaking tonight was the most satisfying I can 
			remember. Let's always be gentle and tender with each other. When 
			your hands move over my body almost like a whisper, I am brought to 
			a beautiful, sensual plateau. It is close to climax, but not quite 
			there. When I am totally aroused, like I have been twice tonight, my 
			physical, emotional, and spiritual beings come together and I 
			release my semen, not by choice, but because of your lovemaking. It 
			is then that my soul takes flight and I enter into an ethereal place 
			where just you and I exist. It is wonderful!" he confided.
			
			I kissed him lightly, and said to him, "Baby, the same is true for 
			me. This is the only way I want to make love to you, or have you 
			make love to me. This has to be the epitome of the sensual and 
			spiritual expression of love. Sean, my treasure, I love you," I said 
			with deep emotion.
			
			Sean hugged me, and with his head on my chest, we both fell into a 
			peaceful, satisfied sleep.

			Ryan's horrific screaming rudely awakened me . He was thrashing 
			about on the bed. His eyes were closed, as if asleep, but his body 
			was a mass of movement.
			
			He was shouting in his sleep. "I didn't mean to kill them! I didn't! 
			Sean, forgive me. Forgive me. I murdered our friends! I thought they 
			had hurt you. Please, Sean, help me, help me! Sean, I'm afraid. How 
			could I do this? You hate me now, Sean. Sean, are you dead? Please, 
			Sean, answer me. What have I done? I want to die. I will shoot 
			myself. I want to end this agony."
			
			I pulled his sweat-drenched body to me, kissed him hard on the 
			mouth, muffling much of his screaming. He fought to escape from me. 
			He was strong, and it took all of my strength to keep him subdued. I 
			was trying to sooth him.
			
			"Ry, please, Hon; it's only a dream. Wake up, Ryan. I'm here with 
			you. Come on, Ry, try to calm down. Please," I begged as I stroked 
			his hair, which was wet with sweat. I kept kissing his face. His 
			eyes flickered; slowly he had a sense of where he was. He grabbed 
			me; I couldn't stop him, as he was too strong. He wrapped me in his 
			arms and burst into sobs so heartrending that it nearly tore me 
			apart. I let him weep, stroking his body, speaking quietly, 
			reassuring him that I was with him and that I loved him. After a 
			long time, he quieted down. I didn't move. He spoke to me, his 
			speech somewhat muddled, because he was talking into my chest.
			
			"Sean, Sean. I need you. I need you here with me. You were able to 
			take me away from that horrid place. I'm so tired. I just..," Ry 
			muttered as he fell asleep.
			
			There would not be much sleep for me this night. My poor lover. 
			Thank God I am here for him. My yawns started soon, and without 
			intending to, I started to fall asleep. For a short time I fought 
			the desire , finally drifting off into a peaceful sleep.

[Ryan returns as narrator].
The room was bright as I slowly 
			opened my eyes. My body ached and my head was swirling, keeping me 
			from moving for a short time. The urge of early morning urination 
			prodded me to get out of bed. I was more awake now. Searching with 
			my hand, I found my lover. It grazed Sean's abs and touched his 
			semi-hardened cock. I turned my head to look at him. His chin was 
			resting on his hands, his arms bent to support his head. As soon as 
			I looked at him, he smiled that smile at me. From that moment, I 
			felt better.
			
			Sean reached out and ran his fingers lightly on my chest. "Good 
			morning, Lover. I've been watching you. I have to pinch myself to 
			prove that this isn't some cruel dream. How fortunate I am! Your 
			handsome face, your toned and beautiful body, I can admire without 
			interruption. Your intellect, your abilities awe me. Even watching 
			your regular breathing as you sleep, calms me.
			
			"Are you okay this morning, Hon? You had a terrible nightmare last 
			night. I was awake; I tried to comfort you, Lover. It must have been 
			horrible; it took a long time for you to calm down and go back to 
			sleep. You were covered with perspiration, but I didn't try to clean 
			you up; I wanted you to get some sleep. You were exhausted, Hon. I'm 
			so happy that I was here to help you. Remember, Ry, I am here to 
			help you, to comfort you, to scare away your demons. Hon, you know, 
			I love you," Sean said.
			
			I motioned for Sean to come to me. I gathered him into my arms and 
			kissed him. I was moved by what he had told me.
			
			"Baby, I don't remember too much about the nightmare. I do remember 
			your soothing voice, your telling me that everything was okay. Then 
			I don't remember anything," I said.
			
			"You fell asleep, Hon. Afraid to wake you, I didn't even want to 
			move. I tried to stay awake for you, but I fell asleep. I'm sorry 
			that I let you down. I'm ashamed of myself. I couldn't even stay 
			awake to care for you," said an almost despondent Sean.
			
			"You did take care of me, Baby. You talked to me, kissed me, drove 
			away the demons. I was at peace enough that I fell asleep. Don't you 
			understand what that means. You were with me and I had nothing to 
			fear. The nightmare, which was terrible, was gone. It was driven 
			away by you. You have nothing to be ashamed of; I love you, Baby," I 
			said gratefully.
			
			I kissed Sean lightly, stroking his naked back. With a light laugh, 
			I said, "I have to take what you would describe as a wicked piss. 
			Either that or I wet the bed. So, Baby, how about we get out of bed 
			and get on with the day," I said.
			
			Sean moved away from me, put his legs over the edge of the bed, and 
			got up. I followed him quickly and ran to the toilet to relieve 
			myself. As I was doing my morning urination, Sean came up behind me 
			and hugged me. His now erect penis was rubbing in my ass crack. My 
			stream of urine began to weaken as I began to get a hardon. . Sean 
			would not stop his rubbing on my body. Fully erect now, pissing was 
			the last thing on my mind.
			
			Turning quickly, I grabbed Sean and pulled him to me. I kissed him 
			deeply, sharing my tongue with him. He was groaning and moving 
			against me, cock to cock. "I know what I told you, Ry. But right 
			now, I just want sex. I want to get off. I want you to get me off. I 
			shouldn't feel this way; I said I would never want this with you, 
			only gentle lovemaking. And now I am hot as a poker left in hot 
			coals," he said as he pulled away from me.
			
			I stopped him from going any further by taking his hand. I led him 
			back to our bed. Both of us were on the bed in a moment and into the 
			69 position. In an instant we were both enjoying our lover's hard 
			cock. We were sucking each other's cocks with abandon and lust. I 
			had started working a finger into Sean's hot hole, and I felt him 
			beginning to work a finger into my ass. It wouldn't take long; my 
			finger was in deep enough to stroke his prostate. He did the same to 
			me, and suddenly with a gasp I started to fill Sean's mouth with my 
			hot cum. He returned the favor for me. We lay there for a moment or 
			two, coming back to earth.
			
			"Thanks for that, Ry. Hopefully my hormones won't get the best of 
			me. I'll try to keep our agreement about making love. By the way, 
			you were wonderful," said a smiling Sean.
			
			"Baby, I wanted that, too. That was sex, not making love, There are 
			going to be times when we will just want sex. That's what we both 
			wanted this morning. You were pretty wonderful yourself," I told 
			him.
			
			We hugged each other, got out of bed and headed to the shower. We 
			soaped each other and enjoyed touching each other in very sensuous 
			ways. Too soon, the shower was over. We dried ourselves in the big, 
			absorbent white towels. I started to the kitchen naked. Sean looked 
			at me and smiled, dropped the boxers he was about to pull on, and 
			followed me naked into the kitchen.
			
			"So, do you mind that I decided to stay naked?" I asked Sean.
			
			"Of course, I don't mind. This way I get to see all of you. I really 
			like all of you, Hon. Why should I mind being naked with you? Be 
			careful around the stove, though. I don't want you burning your 
			cock," he said with a giggle.
			
			"If I do, you will have to kiss away the hurt. Would you like to do 
			that for me?" I asked.
			
			Sean was laughing, "You mean I can only kiss your injured penis. 
			That's too tame for me. You'll have to get some cream and apply it 
			to stop the burning. You know me, Ry, I would want some cream, too; 
			but I would want it to shoot out of your hard cock. So, sorry, but I 
			can't help," he said.
			
			"I didn't say you could only kiss my cock only if it were injured, 
			Baby. You can minister relief to me in the best way you can think of 
			at any time. I would want relief from you. Wouldn't like you to take 
			care of my cock if I should burn it, though," I said laughing 
			robustly.
			
			"Let's get on with breakfast, you sexpot. Always wanting me to take 
			care of your cock. Well, I'm a hungry, growing boy. I need a hearty 
			breakfast. So, Lover, get on with it; make food for me," said a 
			smiling, laughing Sean.
			
			Our attention was diverted now to breakfast. I decided to make 
			omelets. After a short search, I found an omelet pan. Sean had 
			busied himself getting the oj out of the fridge. He also got bread 
			ready for toast and found jelly. I had taken the butter out of the 
			fridge and put on a pot of coffee to brew. As I was beating the eggs 
			for the omelet, I was reminded that Sean had promised to show me 
			something else today.
			
			"Sean, what is it that you want to show me today? Do you remember? 
			You promised me yesterday," I asked him.
			
			"I haven't forgotten, Ry. After breakfast, we will get dressed and I 
			am going to take you for a ride in the Rover. Don't worry your head 
			about it, Hon. I keep my promises."
			
			"Yes, you do, Baby. I can hardly contain my excitement," I said with 
			chuckle.
			
			"Are you pulling my leg, Lover. "I can hardly contain my 
			excitement'. What a line of bull shit. Give me a break," Sean said 
			to me as he lathered the toast with huge amounts of butter.
			
			I shook the omelet pan and dropped in chopped ham, tomatoes, and 
			green peppers.
			
			I was laughing as I said to Sean, "No, really, Baby, I am interested 
			in what you are going to show me. But, yes, my comment was just a 
			little bathed in bull shit."
			
			Sean came to the stove with a plate. He kissed me on the cheek. I 
			took the plate, and tipped the omelet onto the plate. It was 
			perfect.
			
			"Go ahead, Baby, and eat this one while it's hot. I'll make another 
			one for me, and if you are done with that one, I will give that to 
			you and make another for myself. But before you get this, I need a 
			kiss," I said.
			
			Sean kissed me on the lips. I handed him the plate. He kissed me 
			again and went to the counter and set down his plate. I was beating 
			another omelet by this time. It was quickly in the pan and before 
			Sean was able to finish, I turned it out onto another plate. I 
			brought it to the table. It was a beauty. Sean looked at it and then 
			at me. He smiled.
			
			"If you are going to make such wonderful omelets, Ry, I will 
			probably keep eating them. But, please sit and eat with me. We can 
			make some more after we eat. I want to talk with you, Hon," he said.
			
			Returning to the stove to turn off the burner, I poured myself a cup 
			of coffee, came back to the counter and took my seat on the stool 
			next to Sean. I took a bite of the omelet. It was good. I poured 
			myself a small glass of orange juice. "So, Sean, what's on your 
			beautiful mind?" I asked.
			
			"Well, it has to do with the inheritance. Can we talk about it and 
			not get into an argument? I really need you to help me, Hon," he 
			said.
			
			I had to finish chewing a bit of toast and omelet and then swallow. 
			"Of course I will help you, Baby," I told Sean.
			
			As I reached for a piece of toast, Sean stopped my hand. He brought 
			my hand to his lips and kissed it. Then he held my hand to his face, 
			pressing it against his cheek. The gentleness of his action moved 
			me. He released my hand, smiled at me, and began talking.
			
			"It's about Mom and Dad. We have to do something special for them. 
			They have been so wonderful to us. We need to repay them in a way 
			that will make them happy. Could they use a new car, something big 
			and comfortable? I also thought about sending them on a cruise 
			around the world.
			
			"Do they have any kind of mortgage that needs to be paid? God knows, 
			Ry, we want to do something for them. I love them so much. When I 
			think how they took me to their hearts, how they made me their 
			second son, how they gave me the greatest treasure of their lives, 
			you, my lover; I know we need to show them how much we appreciate 
			them. Should I feel a little cheap thinking that all we can offer 
			them is something that our inheritance will buy? That makes me feel 
			strangely dirty," he said.
			
			"Finish eating your omelet before it gets cold," I ordered Sean. I 
			took a gulp of coffee, cleared my throat, and told him,
			
			"Sean, our Mom and Dad have everything they want. If they want 
			anything, or need anything, they will take care of it. You need to 
			know that our folks are wealthy in their own right. I never said 
			anything, but they are millionaires. When they pass on, I will 
			inherit a large sum of money plus valuable land and a home in 
			Florida. They also have investments and real estate holdings. We 
			have to be very creative in finding something that will make them 
			happy. We want it to be something worthy of them. It won't be an 
			easy thing for us to do. My folks love State. Maybe we could think 
			of something there that would be a reward for them; something they 
			would be proud of. I don't know exactly what that is. By the way, I 
			am sure they would love a cruise around the world, though," I told 
			him.
			
			"So I married a millionaire-to-be and didn't know it. I'm glad you 
			never told me. I would have hated to have you think I wanted you as 
			a life partner because you had millions. And we didn't know about my 
			inheritance either. We both bought a-pig-in-a-poke. I'm glad we did. 
			Now we are both able to do about anything we want, anytime we want. 
			Wow! We are really lucky. I like the idea of something at State; 
			we'll have to think about that. You know what, Ry? I think we should 
			give them that cruise around the world. Let's do that for a starter. 
			What do you think?" asked Sean.
			
			"I like the idea and it will give us some time to figure out what 
			else we want to do for them. I know they will be thrilled with the 
			cruise," I said.
			
			"That makes me happy, but I am still hungry. Lover, will you please 
			make your starving life-partner another omelet?" begged Sean.
			
			"Of course, Baby." I went back to the stove and did my omelet thing 
			again, delivering a piping hot omelet onto Sean's plate.
			
			"Thanks, Hon."
			
			"Do you need anything else?" I asked.
			
			"Only you, Sweetheart. Only you!" exclaimed Sean.
			
			For that remark, Sean got a nice kiss from the cook. He smiled at me 
			between bites of the omelet. I just warmed to his smile. After 
			pouring myself another cup of coffee, I brought it back to the 
			counter and sat down. Sean was nearly finished his breakfast. It was 
			my turn to smile at him. I couldn't believe it, but Sean was 
			blushing.
			
			"When you look at me that intensely, and then smile, I get all 
			nervous inside, and I think I also get embarrassed, and my face gets 
			red. Now that is certainly the behavior of a serious craphead," he 
			said.
			
			"You are not a craphead, Baby; you are mine, and I love every inch 
			of you. If I make you blush when I look at you closely and smile 
			because I think you are wonderful, I'm sorry. Sean, I don't intend 
			to stop looking at you or smiling at you. And if you smile, fine. 
			You're even cuter when you blush."
			
			"We certainly have a mutual admiration society, don't we? That's 
			what two lovers should have, isn't it? If you don't think your 
			partner is the cat's pajamas, then something is terribly wrong. I 
			don't want you to ever stop looking and smiling at me, Ry. When you 
			do, I may blush, but I love it. We have to get ready because there 
			are a few things I want to share with you today. Let's get dressed 
			and get going. Let's have lunch at the inn."
			
			"That's a super idea. I really liked the inn and their food," I told 
			him as we walked to the bedroom to get dressed. We both chose jeans 
			and a casual long sleeved shirt. Mine was a subtle plaid in blues 
			and whites. Sean chose a solid green shirt, which I immediately 
			noticed, made him look like a stud in a magazine. 'He could be a 
			model.' I thought. We both put on warm socks and hiking-type shoes. 
			As we were leaving, we stopped at the sofa and picked up the outer 
			coats and gloves that we had dropped there last night. I made a 
			quick check of the kitchen to be sure that everything was turned 
			off. I was ready to go, but then Mother Nature called.
			
			"Sean, I need to use the bathroom. I'm sorry."
			
			"Don't be sorry. I would rather you take care of your need here and 
			not in the Rover," Sean told me with a laugh.
II
[Sean is now the narrator.]
			
			I was glad that Ry had to use the bathroom. It gave me a couple of 
			minutes by myself to think through what I wanted to do. I had gotten 
			directions from the staff at the inn. Mom and Dad took care of it 
			for me, not really aware of my plans. As usual, they never asked any 
			questions. I had to decide in what order I wanted to do the things I 
			had planned. Just a few uninterrupted moments allowed me to make the 
			plan I would follow. As I was finishing my mental plans, Ry came 
			back into the room. He came to me and kissed me on the cheek.
			
			"Sorry for the delay, but it was necessary. I'm ready,"
			
			"Ry, we have the whole day if we want to use it. I thought one thing 
			we could do was to drive into Brattleboro. There used to be a really 
			good bookstore there. I bet you would enjoy some time to browse in 
			it. Let's just play it by ear, Hon," I told my sexy lover. Sean 
			locked the cabin and we walked to the Rover.
			
			"Why don't you drive, Sean. That will give me an opportunity to 
			enjoy all the scenery. This is a lovely part of the country. If I 
			were talking to my class I might use the word pastoral. Have you 
			ever heard that term before? I asked. "Sure have, Professor Taylor. 
			Dr. Milne has used it and explained it a couple of times. I don't 
			recall ever hearing about it in high school, although I may have. 
			Mrs. Foster was a really fine teacher," Sean confided in me.
			
			"As I see it, Baby, you don't have to worry about literary terms you 
			don't understand. All you have to do is ask the professor. He'll 
			keep you informed. What you can do for me is to keep me posted on 
			the Internet and web. I use the word processor and the email 
			functions all the time, but on the Internet I am a rookie. Think you 
			can teach me, Lover?" I asked with a chuckle.
			
			Sean had started the Rover and we were headed up the dirt road to 
			the main highway. He glanced at me with a huge smile, saying, "I can 
			show you some things on the net that will make you blush. I'm not 
			sure about that, Lover, since you have shown me some amazing ways to 
			make love. You also have to learn about "Google"; it's a fantastic 
			search engine. There are other things I can show you. We'll see how 
			good a student you are when I teach you about this stuff," I 
			laughingly told him.
			
			"There is one major problem with your teaching me, Baby. Will I be 
			able to keep my mind on the lesson? I will look at you; you will 
			smile at me, and I will want to take you to our bed and make love to 
			you. You'll never be able to finish a lesson. You know me, I'm just 
			a horny old professor," Ry told me with a hearty laugh.
			
			I was laughing freely as I turned onto the highway and headed south. 
			If Ry wondered where we were going, he kept all those questions to 
			himself. "Are you curious about my plans for today?" I asked him.
			
			"No, I trust you, Sean. In fact, I am enjoying the mystery."
			
			I continued driving told to East Dummerston and St. Charles Church. 
			It would be our first stop. I wanted Ry to know where my early 
			Christian beliefs started. This is where I learned about a forgiving 
			God. I learned that Jesus loved all of us without exception. Since 
			God created us, it would be strange if He didn't love us, too.
			
			As I was driving, Ry put his hand on my thigh, but he didn't go 
			further, leaving that as a signal of his love for me. At one point 
			he must have been overcome with love for me, as he kissed me on the 
			cheek. I turned and smiled at him briefly; he took that opportunity 
			to plant a quick kiss on my lips. I was getting stimulated. 
			Thankfully we arrived at the little white church before anything 
			more could happen.
			
			"What church is this, Sean? Ry asked me.
			
			"This is the church I attended as a youngster. It's where Father 
			O'Rourke was so kind to me. Here is the place I learned about Jesus 
			and God as loving beings," I told Ryan as I parked the Rover.
			
			"It's really small, isn't it, Sean. I suppose it's big enough for 
			this rural area. It's well kept. Are we going in, or what?" Ryan 
			asked me.
			
			"Yes, we are going in. I want to say a prayer and I want you to hear 
			it. Will you do that for me? I asked quietly.
			
			Ry reached over and kissed me gently on the lips. "Sean, you didn't 
			have to ask me. Of course, I will go in with you. But isn't a prayer 
			a personal message between you and God. I'm not sure I should hear 
			it," he told me.
			
			As we were making our way to the church door, I paused. I turned to 
			Ry and smiled. "In this case, dear husband, I want you to hear my 
			prayer. God will understand," I told Ry.
			
			We were at the door now, I opened it and we silently entered the 
			church. Not much had changed since the time I was last here. I 
			thought the paint might have been renewed, and the sanctuary looked 
			brighter. Walking down a few pews, I genuflected and went in. Ry 
			followed me. I knelt down and crossed myself. Ry, not knowing what 
			else to do, knelt down, too. I reached for his hand and held it 
			tightly. I bowed my head and began to pray.
			
			"Dear God, I have brought my loving Ry for You to meet. He is a 
			wonderful man filled with love for me and for You. He has promised 
			to spend his life with me, loving me and caring for me. I promised 
			the same to him. I know that You already know this, God, but I 
			thought it was important that I should bring him here, in the place 
			where I first learned about You, to introduce You to him. I pray 
			that You will love him as I do, dear God. I also ask that Jesus, 
			Your Son, love him, too. I freely admit to you, my God, that we are 
			not perfect. We have sinned, but never with the intention of 
			injuring anyone else. We ask that You forgive us for these 
			transgressions and bless us and our union. Amen"
			
			Ry was squeezing my hand so tightly that it hurt. I looked at him 
			and saw a couple of tears sliding down his cheek. They matched those 
			running down my face. Ry was silent for a moment, and then he 
			prayed.
			
			"My dear God, my partner for life, Sean Kelly, has taken me into 
			Your home so that You could meet me. God, I want You to know from me 
			personally that I will love this man and protect him and care for 
			him all of my life. I love him deeply; all I want for him is 
			happiness. Please bless both of us, dear God. Amen."
			
			We turned and hugged each other, showing our God that we loved each 
			other, but not in anyway demonstrating anything sexual. We sat down 
			and silently continued our prayers. Ry still held my hand in his. We 
			had been in the church for about fifteen minutes. I whispered to 
			Ryan, "Let's go now; I did what I wanted to do. God will take care 
			of the rest." We quietly left the church and got into the Rover. Ry 
			spoke first.
			
			"I can't tell you, my beloved Sean, how much that meant to me. I 
			will remember the words of your prayer the rest of my life. You show 
			me each day the beauty of a sensitive and open heart. Each time you 
			do something like you just did, my heart widens so that I can love 
			you even more. Thank you, Sean, for this memorable experience."
			
			He pulled me into his arms and with his soft, moist lips, there in 
			the church parking lot, he kissed me with affection and love. I held 
			him tightly to myself and told Ry how much I loved him. I started 
			the car, knowing that what I had planned next would be the most 
			difficult thing I had done for a very long time.
			
			It was not a very long drive, maybe ten minutes at the most. I drove 
			down a quiet solitary road arriving at my destination. I pulled into 
			the driveway to a gate. A lovely sign on the right of the gate told 
			the story, "Gate of Heaven Cemetery." I heard a soft gasp from Ry.
			
			I turned and looked at him, "Ry, I have to do this. It's very 
			important to me. If you don't want to come with me, I will 
			understand. It's up to you, Hon," I said.
			
			I saw Ryan take a deep breath. "Look, Sean, if this is important to 
			you, then it's important to me. I love you, Baby. There is nothing I 
			wouldn't do for you. When you are ready, I will go with you," Ry 
			told me.
			
			I started a slow, careful drive into the cemetery. It had been a 
			long time since I had been here to see my Mom and Dad. But I knew 
			exactly where they were. I stopped the Rover and got out. Ry 
			followed me. I walked a short distance to a large stone marked, 
			KELLY. I stopped and took a huge breath, trying to calm my nerves 
			and keep my emotions in check. I knew it would be difficult. Ry 
			stayed a few steps behind me, allowing me a moment alone. I fell to 
			my knees between the two small stones, one said 'Mother,' the other 
			read 'Father'.
			
			"Hi, Mommy and Daddy. I know it's been quite a long time since I 
			came to talk with you. I just found out about the inheritance. Thank 
			you both for thinking about me. But I came for another more 
			important reason. You told me in your letter that you hoped I would 
			find someone who would love me and that I would love. Well, I met 
			that someone. He's wonderful, Mommy; I know that you would love him. 
			And Daddy, he's a real man. His name is Ryan Taylor.
			
			"I married him on Saturday. Mommy, Daddy, he's a wonderful man. He's 
			an English professor at State and he really loves me. Mommy and 
			Daddy, I just wish that you were here to.. to..." and I couldn't 
			hold back anymore. I was sobbing out of control. Ryan was quickly at 
			my side and he hugged me to himself. He was crying, too. Together we 
			shed tears of regret about my folks and my childhood. I couldn't 
			stop crying for a long time. Ryan had finally gotten some control, 
			and he spoke to me.
			
			"Sean, cry it out. I understand how intense your grief must be. I 
			wish your Mother and Father could have been with us on our important 
			day. But, Sean, thank you for bringing me here to meet them. I am 
			so..." and Ryan lost it again. We knelt there in each other arms, 
			crying for what might have been.
			
			We didn't get control for a long time. There was nothing more to 
			say. I had pulled two flowers out of one of the bouquets at the 
			cabin, a red rose and a white carnation. I had put them in the Rover 
			while Ryan was in the bathroom. We got up from our knees and Ry 
			kissed my tear-stained face. I kissed him on the lips, my hope was 
			that he understood it was a thank-you.
			
			I asked him to wait and hurried to the Rover. I came back with the 
			flowers. I placed the rose on my Mommy's grave and the white 
			carnation on my Daddy's grave. I cried again, but with more control. 
			They knew now all about my Ryan. I know that up in Heaven, they 
			smiled and said together, 'Sean found a wonderful man to love and 
			who loves him. We can rest easy now.' Ryan had his arm around my 
			shoulders, steadying me, supporting me. I loved him more in that 
			instance than I think I ever loved him before. We turned and walked 
			slowly to the Rover.
			
			"I think I should drive to the inn. You need some time alone with 
			your thoughts. Thank you for what you just did for me," Ry told me.
			
			He got into the driver's seat and I climbed into the passenger seat. 
			We started to drive away from the graves. Finally all I could see 
			was the red rose and the white carnation. I cried again. Ry was 
			silent. When we reached the main highway again, he reached out and 
			took my hand in his. He raised it to his lips and kissed it gently. 
			"I love you so much, Sean." was all that he said. We continued on 
			our way to the inn, quietly lost in our thoughts. It had been a 
			difficult and emotional morning.
********
[Ryan is now the narrator]
			
			When we got to St. Charles Church, I had no idea what Sean had in 
			mind. Once inside and he said his prayer, I lost it. Again Sean had 
			demonstrated his sensitivity and his maturity. It was a moving 
			moment in our relationship.
			
			The cemetery was heartbreaking. When Sean started talking to his 
			parents as Mommy and Daddy, I realized that was what he called them 
			when they were killed those years before. He was their child telling 
			them about his life. When he sobbed out of control, I could only 
			hold him. He wanted them to know about me, to meet me. Before it was 
			over we were both weeping. When Sean ran to the Rover and came back 
			with the two flowers and placed them on the graves, I nearly lost 
			it.
			
			I decided to drive to the inn, knowing that Sean needed some private 
			time to collect himself. He looked back at the two lonely flowers on 
			the now disappearing graves and broke into tears again. I reached 
			for his hand and brought it to my lips. I kissed it gently. I told 
			Sean that I loved him, and then kept silent. It had been an 
			emotionally draining morning.
			
			We arrived at the inn a little after noon. The parking lot was busy, 
			but not overcrowded. We had not called for reservations and I hoped 
			they would be able to seat us. Before we got out of the Rover, I 
			pulled Sean to me and kissed him deeply and with emotion. "Sean, 
			thank you for what you did for me today. I wish I could do something 
			for you that would be as meaningful, as wonderful. Thank you, Baby," 
			I said.
			
			Sean smiled at me, "I thought you should meet my God and my parents. 
			It was important to me that you know and love them as I do. Thank 
			you for sharing this time with me. It meant much to me. Now, before 
			we get misty eyed again, let's eat lunch." We moved out of the Rover 
			and went into the inn and to the dining room. They had not forgotten 
			us. We were welcomed with enthusiasm. We got a wonderful table that 
			looked out over the porch to the hills beyond.
			
			Lunch was a pleasant hour and a half. We ordered our favorites and 
			enjoyed the food. We talked about all the things that had happened 
			to us since we met at Walgreen's. Sean was smiling and joyful. I was 
			equally happy. All I could think about was our long life together 
			and all the days that would be filled with happiness and love.
			
			"I have one more place to take you, Ry. Then if you want we can go 
			to the bookstore in Brat, or we can go back to the cabin. I want you 
			to decide which we do. I have really enjoyed this quiet lunch with 
			you, Ry. I've had time to talk with you without either of us rushing 
			away to the stove to cook. You, my lover, are my favorite meal 
			companion," he said.
			
			To our surprise, the owner of the inn came to our table with our 
			dessert. It was a delicious Baked Alaska. He told us it was his way 
			of saying congratulations to us. He was honored that his inn had 
			played such an important part in our lives. He was a jovial man in 
			his late fifties or early sixties. He was somewhat rotund, a result 
			of spending too much time in the kitchen of his establishment where 
			all the wonderful food was prepared. He spoke to us briefly and then 
			left us to enjoy our dessert. It was fabulous! We paid the check and 
			left a nice gratuity. We let the desk know that we would not be 
			leaving the Rover with them. We would both drive a vehicle home.
			
			We left the inn and Sean told me that this was just a little jaunt 
			in the woods. Although I wasn't excited, I said nothing. We drove 
			back to the road from the inn, but instead of turning right as we 
			had before, Sean turned left and headed up a steep hill. The hilly 
			terrain kept appearing and I was sure that we were climbing higher 
			and higher. Even though I wanted to ask Sean, but I decided to let 
			the adventure speak for itself.
			
			Finally after a long climb, Sean turned into a dirt area, not really 
			a parking area, but more like a place that had been turned into a 
			parking area. There were no other cars there. We got out of the 
			Rover, Sean leading the way. He stopped at the beginning of a narrow 
			trail. He took my hand and smiled, "I will hold your hand and keep 
			the beasties from attacking you, my love."
			
			"Are you making fun of me because I am an urban dude, and I don't 
			know how to react to these woods?" I asked, laughing.
			
			"Would I do that, Sir? I think not, Professor. Never. I just want to 
			protect you," Sean said with a laugh.
			
			"Lead the way, then," I told him.
			
			Still holding my hand, Sean began the stroll through the woods. In a 
			very short time we reached a clearing. I looked with awe at the 
			view. We were on some sort of bluff where you could see for many 
			miles in three directions. Sean pointed to the east and told me that 
			was New Hampshire, to the north he told me you could see into 
			Canada, to the south, he told me that was Massachusetts. If we could 
			have seen westward, we would have seen New York state. I just stood 
			there, looking, taking in the enormous beauty. Sean had his arm 
			around me. I was suddenly overcome by strong emotions. It was as if 
			we two lovers had found a secret, silent place. We could survey our 
			world in three directions.
			
			"Sean, I want to kiss you. I want to make love to you," I told him.
			
			"I want you to kiss me, and I want you to make love to me, right 
			now, right here," Sean replied.
			
			I kissed Sean with passion, his lips parted and my tongue was in his 
			mouth, exploring, dueling with his tongue. He sucked on my tongue, 
			as I was removing his jacket. I took mine off, too, and we lay them 
			on the ground. I had already taken off my shoes and my shirt. I 
			stood there in my trousers and stocking feet. Sean was almost 
			completely naked. I dropped my jeans and underwear and stood naked 
			in the cool December air. Sean pulled me to our jackets on the 
			ground. I kissed his with heat and love.
			
			I made short work of letting him know what I wanted; he wanted the 
			same thing. Before we got any colder, I had pushed his legs back, 
			and was entering his hot, tight hole. He pulled me into himself with 
			the magic workings of his ass muscles. We kissed deeply as I slowly 
			fucked him. I increased my speed at his urging, and all too soon we 
			were both groaning and panting as we reached our climax and our cum 
			shot out of our aching cocks. I filled Sean's love tunnel with my 
			love juice, and he shot his all over both of us. We never stopped 
			kissing throughout our entire lovemaking. Once we had cum, we 
			quickly cleaned up and dressed. The sun was out and it was bright on 
			the bluff, but the very light December wind quickly cooled us down.
			
			"I never counted on this wonderful happening when I brought you here 
			to see the view. You were super as always," he told me as he kissed 
			me lightly on my lips.
			
			"Sean, I told you once or twice, that I only have to be close to 
			you, to touch you, and I want you. Thank you for loving me as you 
			do," I said.
			
			"So, Ry, is it the bookstore in Brattleboro, or do we go home to the 
			cabin. The choice is yours," he told me.
			
			Kissing him lightly on the lips I told him, "Let's go home, Baby. 
			You and I are going to sit in front of the fire and make out just 
			like two high school lovers. What do you think of that? I'm an old 
			professor, but I'm alive and kicking," I told him with a laugh.
			
			"You're not old, and you're not my professor. Making out with you in 
			front of the fire at the cabin is a wonderful idea. Who knows what 
			it will lead to, Hon?" he said with a smirk on his handsome face.
			
			"I can hope, can't I?" I asked. Sean just smiled at me.
			
			Somehow I always get my way.
			To be continued...
