Chapter Eight
Jude marched behind Neo for another hour. As dawn stretched long fingers of pink and gold over the tips of the trees, and the birds welcomed the new day, they came into another clearing. This one was larger than when they’d drunk from the stream, and set in the middle was a small log cabin. It had a wraparound balcony, five wooden steps leading up to the front door, and a brick-built chimney sat squat on the rooftop.
“What do you think?” Neo asked, stopping.
“It’s awesome.”
“You really think so?”
“Yeah, what a place to get lost.”
Neo laughed. “Yeah, the only people who ever come here, unless they know it, are lost hikers, and they’re few and far between.” He took a step forward. “Wait here, though, I need to check it out.”
“Okay .”
Neo shifted into his dog form and walked toward the house, his nose on the floor and tail in the air. He didn’t go in a straight line. He weaved this way and that, as though following a brief trail then discarding it as nothing to worry about.
Jude marveled at how seeing Neo shift was becoming less and less shocking. Though he wasn’t sure if he’d ever get completely used to it.
Neo walked right around the cabin, then checked out a store of wood. Finally, he climbed the steps. He turned to Jude, his doggy eyes staring straight at him, then returned to his human form. “Come on, it’s all clear.”
Jude grinned and walked through the shin-length grass. It was dotted with small yellow and white flowers, and he disturbed several butterflies as he went. It truly was an idyllic spot.
When he reached the cabin, the door was open and Neo inside.
Jude paused for a moment and let his eyes adjust to the darkness.
“I’ll light a fire. Get rid of any dampness. I haven’t been here for over a month.”
“Why? What have you been doing?”
“Just roaming around.”
“You do that a lot?”
“Not anymore I won’t.” Neo stepped back as a flame licked up the chimney. “There, shouldn’t take much.” He nodded over his shoulder. “Get a beer.”
“Nah, I think a coffee is in order now. It’s morning.”
“Sure.” Jude wandered into the small but perfectly functional kitchen area. He found a kettle, filled it and set it over a gas stove. It seemed ‘instant’ was the order of the day, but he wasn’t going to complain, not when he was here with Neo and not dragging his ass out of bed to go to the office.
He thought of Nicole and Mary and how shocked they’d be that he was a no-show. For a moment, he felt bad. It was so out of character for him to disappear off the face of the Earth. But then he glanced at Neo, who was carefully arranging logs on the fire, his muscles bunching and flexing beneath the material of his sweater and his ass looking delectable and very inviting. No, he wouldn’t feel bad about being spontaneous, for falling for a hot guy with a sense of adventure, for walking away from a life that made him miserable.
Neo turned and caught him staring. “You okay?” he asked with a slow, sexy smile.
“Yeah.” He paused. “I was just thinking of how you said, back in the alley, that you were taking me somewhere where we’d have time, comfort and privacy. You meant here, right?”
“Yes.” Neo straightened and nodded. “Here we have all the time and privacy we want, my sexy boy.” He grinned, slightly lopsided, and tugged on his bottom lip as he dragged his gaze down Jude’s body then back up again.
“So now what?” Jude asked, putting his hands on his hips and jutting them to the right. Neo twitched his eyebrows. “Come here and I’ll show you.”
Heat rushed to Jude’s cock. Each step he took toward Neo, he got harder. By the time he reached the fire and the heat of the flames caressed him, he was fully erect.
“Are you uncomfortable?” Neo asked, stroking the tip of his finger over the bulge in Jude’s pants.
He scratched over the material with his fingernail and the tiny vibration sent a zing of arousal through Jude’s body.
“Yeah, you seem to have that effect on me.”
“Well, hopefully I can give you some relief.” He undid the top button on Jude’s pants.
“That would be good.” Damn it, he’d been thinking about fucking since the alley back in Los Gatos. The previous night’s shenanigans and satisfaction seemed a million light years away. He was desperate for it again. He wanted to come, and he wanted to come with Neo, on Neo, in Neo, however Neo wanted to do it.
He tensed his belly and blew out a breath as Neo slowly pulled down his zipper. When it was all the way open, Jude got some release of pressure, but damn it, he wanted so much more.
“I want you to stay standing,” Neo said. “For this.”
“For what?”
“I’ll show you.” Neo kissed him, lightly, then pulled off Jude’s shirt. He cast it aside.
Running his big hands over Jude’s chest, he licked his lips. “Fuck, you’re beautiful.”
“You’re not into gym buffs then?”
Neo frowned and looked him in the eyes. “You mean big muscles, six packs?”
“Yeah.” The usual nerves that he didn’t look like a magazine model attacked Jude.
“But that’s what I look like, not that it’s from the gym. I don’t need that.” He huffed. “I could jerk off in the mirror if muscles were what turned me on.” He slid his hands over Jude’s neat waist. “I like that you’re petite, delicate. It brings out my macho, protective side. I guess opposites attract.”
“Well, hey, I’m not going to complain about that.”
“I’ll make sure you never have anything to complain about again.” Neo kissed Jude’s jawline, down his neck, the hollow of his throat, then over his sternum. “Relax, sweet boy. Let me make you feel good. It’s been one hell of a night.”
“It has.” Jude locked his knees.
“But now it’s morning and we have all of this day ahead of us.” Neo knelt and shoved at Jude’s pants. He tugged down his boxers, too, and Jude’s cock sprang forward.
Neo glanced up at Jude, licked his lips, then took the tip into his mouth.
“Oh, yeah...” Jude gasped, reaching for a chair to support himself. “Neo...I want you...so much.”
Neo didn’t answer. Instead he sank onto Jude’s cock, taking him to the back of his mouth. He hugged him with his tongue and rippled it over his shaft.
Jude thought his head would explode with the exquisite sensation. His balls retracted and he feared he was in very real danger of coming embarrassingly quickly.
He slipped his free hand into Neo’s hair, the long strands hiding his fingers.
This seemed to encourage Neo and he took him deeper, found his balls and fondled them.
“Oh, God...” Jude murmured. The heated wetness of Neo’s mouth was amazing.
Everything he’d ever hoped and more.
Neo pulled back, dropped down again. He set up a steady rhythm, taking Jude deep then to the point where his tip sat on his lips.
Jude thrust his hips slightly. Wanting to reach that perfect moment of climax, but also not wanting the moment to be over.
Neo continued to massage his balls, he also rubbed the spot between his anus and sac, applying pressure that seemed to extend to his prostate.
“Ah, yeah...” Jude groaned. “Jesus, I’m gonna come.”
Neo didn’t answer, but he did speed up and increased the pressure.
Jude stared at his cock slipping in and out of Neo’s beautiful mouth and at the tip of his nose skimming his pale pubic hair. It was there, he couldn’t fight it anymore. A huge orgasm, an explosion of relief, a release of pressure, of tension, it was all about to overspill.
He held his breath, clenched his buttocks and came. “Ahhh...” he groaned, a long, stuttering sound that rolled up from his belly. “Yeah...”
Neo stayed with him, swallowing his semen as Jude emptied into him. Another great spasm racked his body, his balls contracted, his shaft pulsed.
Neo slipped his finger into Jude’s ass.
Jude’s knees gave way. He crumpled to the floor.
Neo didn’t let up. He moved with him, pressed his prostate as the tip of Jude’s cock touched the back of his throat.
Jude closed his eyes. He felt as though he’d died and gone to heaven. He was folded over
Neo’s wide back, and the sensations ripping through him were out of this world.
Another bone-shaking spasm attacked him and a final shot of cum released. He moaned and rested his cheek on Neo’s back. The material of his T-shirt was a little scratchy and heat from his body blasted through it.
Neo stilled. He kept Jude lodged deep and his finger in his ass.
Jude was aware of his asshole trembling and his cock softening.
He breathed deeply, trying to replace the oxygen he’d expelled through his long moans of pleasure.
Eventually Neo lifted up and removed his touch.
Jude sat back on his heels and blew out a breath. “Wow.”
“Wow yourself. You taste amazing.” Neo licked his lips.
Jude giggled and gripped his semi-hard cock. “I’m glad you think so.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of it.” He grinned then lifted his head and sniffed. A frown crossed over his brow. “What is it?”
“Something...” Neo stood and looked out of the window. “Get dressed, Jude.”
“Why?” Panic went through him. What was it? They’d been having such fun, just getting started on enjoying each other, and now this. “Is it the cops?”
“No.”
Jude scrambled for his pants, tugged them up and redid the zipper and button. “Please tell me we’re not trespassing. This is your fucking cabin, isn’t it?”
“Oh, yeah, it’s mine, all right.”
“So what is it?” Jude strained to look past Neo and out of the window.
“It’s just that...” Neo said. “My father is here.”
