Being separated for a long week, the hormone-ladened boys were ready to explode. They hungrily looked at each other while they stripped. Embracing, they shared a prolonged, passionate kiss. As the lovers lip locked, their hands descended to clasp their partner's ass. Tightening their grasps caused the teens hardening cocks to grind against each other.
Breaking their mouth action, Neil eased his mate onto the bed before he lay down next to him in a "sixty-nine" position. Immediately, they began sucking. It was raw, lustful sex that dominated their thoughts and actions as they ravenously sucked on each other and relished the sensual pleasure. However, there was an underlying sense of unity and shared love that made them aware of the need to bring pleasure to the other.
The couple's behavior, although carnal, was also spiritual. While it originated in the need to experience physical satisfaction, it also was an expression of mutual love and a bonding of souls.
TJ, as usual, was the first to climax. He shot several strong blasts down Neil's receptive throat. He might have liked more time for the erotic glow to fade but was driven by the desire to satisfy his lover. He resumed his efforts with renewed vigor.
The eighteen-year-old moaned loudly when he climaxed. The younger boy savored his partner's creamy gift while continuing to tenderly take in droplets until there were no more and the source of the nectar became too sensitive.
They cuddled together, exchanging tender kisses, for the next thirty minutes.
Finally, TJ said, "I'm scared!"
"Scared of what?"
"Everything is perfect. Too perfect. This must be a dream."
"It's no dream. By some stroke of good fortune, we have each other. And that won't change. It's only going to get better. We'll have to wait for that but one day we'll be able to live together as a couple."
TJ's bliss of being intimately entwined with Neil ended abruptly, as he thought about his folk's reaction when told the truth. He ruefully mused, "We'll have to tell our parents at some time."
"Yes, but we'll have to wait at least until you finish high school and I finish college. And we may have to wait longer than that for you to finish college."
"But that could take six years!" TJ complained
"We've already had this conversation. I'm willing to wait even though we can't be together as much as we'd like. You said you were willing to wait even it if means deceiving your parents. A lot can happen in six years but one thing will never change and that's our love for each other. We can do it, TJ! We have to be strong and patient but we can do it."
"I wish we didn't have to wait."
"Someone I know mentioned being apart makes the time together all the more precious."
"Who said that?"
Neil was surprised that his quote hadn't rung a bell.
"A very bright, personable young man with admirable character and values. And, let me add, a very sexy physique!"
"Oh!" TJ laughed. "I did say something like that, didn't I? But, for the record, my body is nothing compared to yours!"
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And, I think you are perfect as you are -- especially between your legs!"
Emerging from his funk the younger teen shot back, "Now we know where your real interest is!"
Neil sensed that more would be required to restore TJ's spirits so he said, "That's part of it. The other is your offer to teach me to swim. Does it still stand?"
"If you can prove you're a good student!"
The swimmer arose, walked over to his chest of drawers and pulled out three bathing suits. He choose a skimpy, yellow Speedo and tossed it to his student.
"Put this on. Do you think it will hold your magnificent cock?"
Catching and examining the skimpy Speedo, he replied. "It's too revealing. I'd feel almost naked wearing it. Suppose somebody saw me!
"Nobody will see you but me, silly. And, even if they did, they would admire what they saw."
"I'm no exhibitionist!" Neil protested.
"You walk through your dorm hall in nothing but a towel. You shower naked with other guys. Suddenly, you've become shy? Try it on!"
Reluctantly, Neil stepped into the Speedo and pulled it up. Being tight, he fumbled to properly position his package.
Watching, half in admiration of his lover's hot body and half in amusement at his embarrassment, he exclaimed, "Damn! You are one sexy dude!"
"That's the problem. Look at the bulge and the hair sticking out of the top. It's embarrassing!"
Realizing his friend was distraught, the fifteen-year-old contained his urge to laugh and said, "The bulge is part of the male anatomy. At least your private parts are covered. And, the pubes can be trimmed. Most of my team mates shave the hair that shows. Or, you can let it show because we will be alone."
As the swimmer put on his suit, his pupil comically tried tucking the fringes of his pubic hair under the front of his Speedo.
It didn't help Neil's discomfort when TJ looked at him and said, "Damn, you're sexy in that!
"Stop it! I know what I thought when I saw you and your team mates in the pool. I sure don't want others to react in the same way.
"There's only one person who will see you. That's me. And I have the same ideas even when you're dressed. Let's grab a towel and go out to the pool."
TJ began the lesson with the backstroke, because he knew breathing would not be as difficult. He held up his student with one hand between his shoulder blades and the other on his ass so the eighteen-year-old would float. He admired Neil's chest, stomach, and, of course, the prominent bulge in his Speedo that barely concealed the shape and dimensions of the treasure inside.
Then, he yielded to temptation and squeezed his friend's ass.
"Hey! That's no way for an instructor to act!"
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. You're so damn hot!"
"And you're too horny. Get on with my lesson!"
In less than an hour, thanks to TJ's directions, the pupil had mastered the basics. The proud novice was pleased he could easily swim the width of the pool.
"Now, what?"
"Repetition. You've got the moves, now you have to practice, until they become second nature. Swim down to the end of the pool and back."
"Into the deep end?!" Neil said with a little fright evident in his tone that surprised TJ.
The older teen had always been very poised and confident but he was now timid about venturing into the deep end of the pool. He had usually taken the lead and his younger friend would follow but now it seemed that TJ had been thrust into a leadership role. It would occur to TJ later that this was an example of how each individual in a relationship had his own strengths and weaknesses and must support his partner in challenging situations for their union to succeed.
"Don't worry, I'll swim alongside you. I have a life-saving merit badge from the boy scouts. But, you'll be fine. Remember to move your arms and legs the way I taught you."
Reluctantly, the timid novice swam the two lengths, as his teacher accompanied him. Upon returning to the shallow end, Neil was like a little boy who had successfully ridden a bicycle for the first time without training wheels. "I did it!" he exclaimed triumphantly.
"Of course. You had an excellent instructor!"
Neil frowned. "Modesty is not your strong suit."
Abandoning the instructor role for a playful one, TJ dunked his friend under the water. Their horsing around degenerated into ass-grabbing, which lead to some serious fondling.
"Enough!" Neil cried out.
"I agree. Let's shower to wash off the chlorine." Then, with an evil grin, TJ added, "We'll be alone. Who knows? Something might happen."
"I suppose it could," Neil mused, having immediately grasped what his lover was implying. "But we'll be able to handle whatever comes up."
The boys got out of the pool, giddy with anticipation for the action that awaited them. They dried off, walked into the house, and ascended the stairs.
The bathroom seemed enormous to the visitor. It contained a separate stall with a door for the toilet, a double wash basin, plenty of cabinets, and several mirrors. Not only was there a tub with water jets spaced around the perimeter but a walk-in shower, as well.
"So this is how `the other half' lives!"
"Yeah!" TJ replied with a frown. "The master bedroom has an even larger one, and the bath is roomy enough for two. It's part of the opulence in this house that I find excessive."
The older teen looked at his friend quizzically. "You resent living in a luxurious home?"
"Sort of. Sure, I enjoy it. And, I realize my parents worked very hard to afford it. But I think about people who don't have much. They work hard, too, but never had the means to gain a higher education or they've suffered some economic disaster. One day, I'm going to do something about the gulf between the haves and the have-nots!"
TJ stopped speaking, because he didn't want to waste private time with his buddy by sermonizing.
Stepping over to his lover, Neil hugged him, before saying, "This is one of the reasons I love you. You have the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met."
TJ returned the embrace, kissed Neil, and pressed their crotches together. "I don't know if you're right about a big heart but I've got something that's getting big. Will you help me with it?"
Smiling, the older partner dropped to his knees while he administered first aid to his horny pal's swollen organ. A side-effect of the treatment was TJ's knees grew weak and he had to be supported when his balls released their contents through a twitching cock and into his companion's mouth.
When he recovered his strength, the now drained youth knelt to return the favor. But his buddy lifted him up before stating, "If you don't mind, I'd rather take a quick shower, go into your room, and play Alabama."
"If that's what you want, then we'll do it!"
The two showered just long enough to rinse off the chlorine. However, they exchanged a few kisses while fondling each other tenderly. Drying off, they returned to the younger boy's room.
Neil laid down on his back, saying, "Do you mind doing this for me?"
"Of course not. One, I enjoy sucking your cock, and, two, I love pleasuring you!"
TJ quickly brought his friend to erection. When his lover began to writhe and buck, he paused to let his over stimulated pal cool down. He repeated the process twice more. On the next attempt, however, he didn't stop sucking in time. When he sat back up, he was surprised to see a slow, steady flow of cum ooze out of Neil's cock and pool on his stomach. He glanced up at Neil who was softly moaning with his eyes closed
TJ felt terrible because his boy friend had ejaculated before reaching the `Alabama' stage. He laid down next to Neil and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't do it right. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. It was awesome! Besides, it's my fault for not explaining the signs to watch for and when to interrupt. Remember what you said out in the pool about my swimming. You need to practice!"
"But, I wanted to take you all the way to Alabama," TJ replied with some remorse.
"Listen to me, my love. I could have held back, but it felt so great. You may not be experienced, but it doesn't mean you are not superb at what you do!"
"In that case, I feel a little better. But I have a question. Your cum just oozed out slowly instead of spurting. I've never experienced that. Does it feel any different?"
"A little. The orgasm is less intense but it lasts longer."
They cuddled for a little while before TJ asked, "May I clean you up?"
"I can use the towel. It's right here on the bed."
"No!" TJ said. "I want it." With that, he moved down and licked Neil clean.
