Part Six:
I awoke before sun up the next morning still in his arms. I had never felt more complete.
Sliding my right hand down off the side of his belly, I started playing my fingers over his soft, substantial scrotum. His eyes fluttered open and he tenderly touched his lips to mine for the first time since I'd moved to his bed.
"You're still here."
I sensed there were layers of meaning beneath the statement that were beyond my inexperienced grasp at the time. All I knew for sure was that those three words made me feel special in a way I never had before, and that his expression as he spoke them was one of surprising vulnerability.
I probably gave him the old 'aw, ain't that cute' look. He tightened his arms around me.
"G'morning," I replied.
I couldn't resist pressing my lips to his for a second helping.
He slid a hand between us and gently traced his fingers over my morning erection as my kiss lingered. Then he took my arm by the wrist and moved my hand to his rigid cock.
I traced my index finger down the length of his bulging dorsal vein as he resumed fondling my member. He heaved a satisfied sigh. I reciprocated.
"Mind scooting over a bit? I need to get on my back."
I moved to the edge of the bed to accommodate him.
"That's better," he sighed.
I snuggled against him again and resumed fondling his sagging balls.
He pushed the covers back and exposed his chest. I watched the nipple of his right pec erect in the room's chill and slid my hand up to trace my finger around it. My finger looked so small.
"Can I taste it?" I asked.
"There's no need to ask," he assured me, "You can have me any way you want me...it's all yours."
At last those words meant what I'd always wished they had. I touched the tip of my tongue to the pencil eraser sized nub in the middle. Feeling emboldened I flattened my tongue to the dark brown treat and satisfied my curiosity about its taste. It was delicious!
I looked up and he smiled at me. Taking him at his word I asserted myself and began nursing on it. He ran his fingers through my hair and sighed his contentment.
"I wish we could do this all day, sport, but we've got another set up to get through."
"Can we pick up here when we get back?" I asked.
"You bet we can!"
I raised up and gave his beautiful belly a playful swat.
"Then let's get a move on, carny!"
I rolled out of bed to let him know I hadn't forgotten he was my boss.
"If we shower together we can cut the clean up time in half," he said looking coy.
I'm sure my surprised and delighted expression was all the confirmation he needed.
Squeezing into that little tub shower with him was a damn tight fit, but we managed it. I guess it was then I began to notice the endearing flaws in his aging skin. They gave him such a look experience and wisdom.
He wrapped his hand around my hard-on and then guided one of mine to his.
My length barely managed to span the width of his enormous hand. My comparatively slender hand concealed only something over half the length of his.
"We're not gonna be worth a flip today if we don't fire these things off," he said with a grin.
We started tugging at them. I was mesmerized by the sight of his velvet-like foreskin rolling up and back over his bulky cock head.
He brought me off first and I sang out in orgasm as my load spurted up onto his belly, streaking it with several volleys. He let go of my dick and began proudly smearing it around.
That pushed him over the edge as I continued my ministrations. He loudly growled as he let fly with a gusher of an eruption that positively dumbfounded me. I looked at the sticky mess he'd made of my hand and front, then up into his relieved expression. I'd never felt prouder of myself.
I smeared his emission over me. He leaned forward to plant another kiss on my lips and rubbed his belly against mine to mix our loads together. I would have proudly worn that first gift from him for the rest of my life, but I understood the impracticality of that given the job that lay ahead of us.
It was the perfect conclusion to my momentous first night in his arms. I suspect he instinctively knew that masturbating each other was the logical first step for me into the uncharted territory of shared gratification. Given my complete lack of experience with sexual intimacy, it started my journey into that great unknown with my feet on familiar ground. He was right, of course.
He was right about the other benefit as well. By the time the caravan showed up and our exhausting labors were underway, we were both fit to focus our full attention and energy on them.
I threw myself into my work that day with a new self-concept. It was as though, by exposing his tender side to me, he opened a door through which I could leave the uncertainty of my boyhood behind and take my first sure-footed step into the world around me as a man. I never looked back.
Roy's image of me seemed to change that day, too. As it wore on he gradually felt less compelled to keep me at his side and began entrusting me with some fairly dangerous and very physically demanding jobs out from under his watchful and protective eye.
When we arrived back at our room early that evening to clean up for dinner we were both totally exhausted. I sat down at our little table and gave him first crack at the shower.
He accepted and emerged from it stark naked, then flopped down on his bed while I took my turn. When I came out he opened his arms to me in an invitation to join him. I couldn't fall into them fast enough.
"You were something else today!" he boasted.
He cradled me in his arms and roamed my back with his strong hands.
"I'm worn out, but I've sure never felt better," I confided as I nestled into his embrace.
He pressed his lips to mine in a lingering kiss.
"Dinner's on me tonight," he said when we broke from it.
"Let's get dressed then."
Overjoyed by my new freedom to explore the body that had fascinated me for more than half my life, I reached down and cupped my hand under his hefty scrotum.
A delighted giggle escaped him.
"I'm getting mixed signals."
I laughed and helped myself to another quick kiss.
