I had decided to take the "easy" route to South Africa since the firm was paying. So on Saturday I flew to Newark and a few hours later I was on the United non-stop to Johannesburg--16 hours. The mid-day flight took off without incident--a good performance for EWR, one of the most congested airports in the US. The great advantage of this flight, in addition to being non-stop, was that it arrived early enough to catch the charter service to the camp in the Kruger. So in about 24 hours, I could be all the way there. I had brought melatonin--and the last week had been a blur of work to permit a two week hiatus--so I managed to sleep for a large part of the trip. Two movies helped. Although if asked, I couldn't give you their names. As did my focus on Ron's business and financial plan. I hadn't had time to read it before--and I soon realized it really needed a great deal of development.
On the last trip, it had been an unusually warm May. But not this time. It was definitely winter, but not bitterly cold. Sweater weather. But, I guess the plunge pool (unheated) and outdoor shower were going to be out of the picture for this time.
Ron met me on the camp's private strip with the Land Rover--and again I was his only passenger. Once again, he blew me away with his simple, sturdy, outdoor man's man image. He wore the typical safari beige shorts, tight and belted in leather with a tucked-in safari shirt with epaulets of the camp's logo. His tanned arms were crossed over his pecs emphasizing their massive size, and any gay man would have marveled at the obvious size of his package and the massive rugby ass and thighs. No one would mess with this guy. He greeted me formally (there had been no suggestion of our past relationship--only that I had specifically requested his service as ranger for the four days). However, I pulled him into a bro-hug, and he blushed deeply when another ranger looked over. Compared to him I was a tall, slim twink. And thanks to the long plane ride, I was wearing the glasses--so I also looked a bit nerdy, I'm sure.
But, when we arrived at the "camp," he pulled me into his arms and sucked the breath from me. "Wow, Paul, it's been a year. You look great. You've put on weight--and all of it in the right places. You must be fighting them off all the time. That gym must be pretty nice." All the old thoughts of a year ago came flooding back--here I was in the arms of the guy who had rescued me from the depression of a broken abusive relationship. He was a hunk--but he was also a de facto therapist and Daddy figure. Doc-of-the-Bush.
"It's been a long trip, Ron. I'm going to skip the afternoon game drive--unless there is something I absolutely shouldn't miss."
"A lot is going on in the bush. But you can skip today. Do you want to do dinner tonight or are you going to sleep through?"
"That pretty much depends on you. Can you stay with me?"
"I didn't want to presume. I am the hired help, remember. But, as a short-timer--now only four more days--they can't do much to me. So you set the rules--and the times--and the bed, Paul."
"Then, stay. And we'll have dinner later together. I'd like that."
"Well. Get settled. You know the routine. I need to tell them we aren't going on a drive this afternoon and turn in the gun. I'll be back in a half-hour."
I unpacked--it took about 5 minutes, stripped and stretched out on the bed, pulling the furry throw over to help with the chill--I was going to wait to shower with Ron when he returned. I had already decided. I wanted these few days--at least until we went to the ranch, to replicate the experience we had had the previous year. I had to know whether Breck had changed me completely--so I was going to move him out of my psyche for a few days and see what happens. Little did I realize that I was playing with fire: walking into the arms of a big earthy man that had pulled me up before "for a few days" while walling off the thoughts of a sexy new and thoroughly cosmopolitan partner that I was beginning to think was going to be long term.
My eyes flipped open perhaps an hour later. Ron was sitting in the easy chair near the sliding doors just watching me sleep. It was déjà vu. At our first meeting, I had found him staring at me reclined nude on a chaise by the plunge pool--again while I had slept. But this time, he was nude, stroking his 8 incher while intently watching my ass which had slipped out from under the small throw. He looked delicious--everything I remembered. His hair was long, halfway to his shoulders, and the sun had bleached perhaps the last two inches of most of the strands. It had probably been six weeks since his last home leave. And presumably because he was leaving, management had given him a little leeway on the "short hair" rule. His hairlesstorso was even wider if possible. The pecs were square slabs. And he was deeply tanned. It gave him the Tarzan look. Only the sculpted pubes suggested he was not just a man of the jungle.
