Chapter 42
Like a little rooster, Robbie awakened the camp around 6:00. He wasn't fussing; he was just ready to be up. He babbled and chirped in his own baby language, making sounds that seemed unusually loud in the quiet of the early morning.
Rob quickly changed his diaper and began to get food ready for him in hopes that he would be too occupied with eating to "talk" as much. Rob loved the sounds of his son, but wasn't sure if the rest would appreciate them while trying to catch a few more winks.
Blake tried to amuse Robbie as Rob crawled out of the tent to start a little burner to heat the baby's breakfast. He spent the time babbling nonsensically with Robbie. It was fun to see the infant trying to imitate the sounds he was making.
"Rob, I think he's about ready to say some real words! Listen."
"Say da-da, Robbie."
Robbie looked intently at Blake and gave it a try.
"Duh duh duh," he said.
"Close," Blake grinned. "That word could come in handy if you hang around this crowd. Let's go out and see your daddy and get the fire started."
The other two crawled out of their tent naked looking for a tree to water. They grinned cheekily at Blake's raised eyebrows.
"What?" Josh said.
"Have you boys no shame?" Blake laughed in spite of himself.
He had been ready to give the two a "church-lady" lecture about being naked in public – all in fun, or course. However, he couldn't keep a straight face long enough to carry it off.
"We aren't ashamed," Eric smiled shaking imaginary drops off of his semi-hard member. "Should we be?"
"Heck no!" Blake responded. "Neither of you has anything to be ashamed of, but there is a boat headed this way."
"Oops!" The boys said in chorus as they squirmed back into the tent to find shorts to put on.
The boat carrying the people who had been photographing the night before came fairly near the shore, but quickly turned around again and headed toward the middle of the lake. The guys waved to the couple, but got no response.
"That's odd," Josh commented. "Usually people on the lakes are friendly. Perhaps they're from a big city and are afraid to meet strangers."
"We live in a big city," Eric reminded him.
"Yeah, but Dad says that I've never met a stranger, and I guess he's right. I like people. I wasn't thrilled of making inane small talk at my gallery opening, but I did like meeting people."
"I thought you carried of the `inane' part like a pro," Eric snickered.
"You want to find yourself in the lake, smartass?" Josh joked. "Or maybe sleeping outside with the mosquitoes tonight?"
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry."
"That's better."
"Hey, I thought you two were in charge of breakfast," Blake said. "I'm starving."
"We'd better feed this tenderfoot before he faints," Josh laughed as he opened the cooler.
Since Blake had started the fire, Josh and Eric performed their magic in a short time. Everyone enjoyed the crisp bacon and French toast that was done to a golden brown.
"I am impressed!" Blake enthused. "I hope Rob and I can do half that good a job on dinner tonight."
After packing a lunch of sandwiches, chips, fruit, and bottled water, the guys got the canoes ready to go. Everyone had on his lifejacket despite the fact that three of the four were excellent swimmers. They realized that a person could be hit by a boat and knocked unconscious or have some other accident that would put their lives in danger.
Rob and Blake carefully placed Robbie in his little jacket to make sure he wouldn't drown if he got thrown into the water. They had tested it at the country club pool ahead of time and were satisfied that it would protect their son.
Their paddling was leisurely. Often they would stop for a few minutes to take photographs and simply enjoy the scenery. They politely gave wide berth to fishermen so as not to disturb the water around their boats. Most of the people they passed gave them a smile and silent greeting in the form of a wave.
Eventually, they reached a small island where they disembarked to stretch their legs. Robbie had been content in the canoe, but once on the island he really enjoyed crawling around in the sand. He looked up at his young father with a huge smile, eliciting the same in return.
"Da-da," Robbie said clearly.
"Da-da," Rob repeated.
Robbie understood that he was the center of attention at the moment. Of course, at his age he assumed that the universe revolved around him. And for all practical purposes it did!
"Da-da, da-da, da-da," He repeated, pounding the sand with each phrase.
"By George, I think he's got it!" Blake said.
Rob smiled through his tears. He had been hoping that he wouldn't be in school away from his son when the first words came out of his tiny mouth. It was one of those moments that every parent treasures.
Knowing how much this meant to him, the other guys high fived him. Rob picked up his little one and gave him a big hug.
"Da-da loves you, Robbie. Yes he does!"
After hanging out and having a mid-morning snack, the guys decided to paddle to a bigger island where they would eat their lunch and maybe swim.
No one was on the lake at noon. The heat of the day wasn't a good time to catch fish. The sky wasn't dramatic like it was at sunup or sundown, so there was little probability that anyone would be out photographing either. Since there wasn't another human being in sight and the water was quite warm on the south side of the island, the guys decided to go skinny dipping. Rob removed Robbie's diaper so he could sit naked in the water too. He seemed to love it.
Of course Robbie got swathed in sun lotion. He didn't have to wear his lifejacket because the water was shallow several feet out on that side.
Further out, Eric and Josh were playing – splashing around like a couple of little kids. They did silly things like swim under each other's legs trying to catch each other off guard and topple the other. There was a certain amount of grab-ass going on too, of course. Blake horsed around with them for a bit, but came back to land to play with Robbie while Rob had a turn to join in the fun.
Blake put his trunks back on, but stayed mostly submerged at the point the island dropped off. He was within arm's reach of Robbie who was splashing and laughing.
The boat they'd seen earlier in the day with the people photographing came around from the other side of the island rather suddenly. Rob, Eric, and Josh sank down to their necks to make sure they weren't showing anything that would offend anyone. They waved to the couple, but didn't get a wave or smile back.
The man shut the motor off and his wife, with the camera, yelled to the guys.
"I know you're all out here naked! It's not proper to be naked in a public place. I'm going to call the authorities."
"Go right ahead," Blake answered. "If we are naked, you can't see anything anyway so what's your problem?"
"Don't get smart with me."
"Look lady, we're out here minding our own business and you're harassing us. I'm going to come up on land and let you see exactly what I've got."
"Good! I'll get your picture and give it to the sheriff!"
While Blake was distracting the woman, Rob, Josh, and Eric were swimming underwater toward where their suits were sitting on the edge of the bank. Blake jumped up out of the water and the lady took his picture. Much to her disappointment, he was properly attired.
The diversion was just enough for the other boys to grab their trunks and slip them on under the surface. They popped up in front of the boat and casually waded up to the shore.
"You all think you're smart. Well you're not! I'm getting the goods on you yet."
"What on earth do you get out of this?" Rob asked. "We're trying to have a quiet weekend away from the city with my son. It's his first time out camping and we want it to be a good memory."
"You have no business bringing an infant out here unsupervised. I'm going to call the welfare department about that too."
"Cornelia, I think we should leave these boys alone. They aren't harming anyone. This is all in your head. Who would be hurt if they were out here naked as jaybirds? We boys all used to go skinny dipping when I was a lad."
"You were all a bunch of heathens until you had wives to keep you on the straight and narrow! Hold your tongue George and take us back to the cabin."
"Yes your majesty," the man smirked as he started the motor.
"And wipe that grin off of your face. This is serious!"
As Blake and Rob were preparing to grill the steaks for dinner that evening, they were joking with Eric and Josh about their midday encounter.
"That woman is crazy as a bedbug," Blake said.
"Crazier!" Rob suggested.
"I wonder why her husband doesn't do something about it." Josh speculated.
"Hell, he's afraid of the dragon lady," Eric said. "After living under her rule for probably 40 years, he doesn't have a mind or will of his own."
"That's scary! You're not going to try to order me around like that, are you?" Josh grinned.
"I'll never have to because you're always going to want to please me so I won't lock you out of the bedroom."
"Yeah, like you'd be able to cut yourself off from the best thing that ever happened to you."
"You're right. You know me too well. Come over here and let me show you how much I love you birthday boy."
"Watch it guys. You have a little observer," Rob chuckled.
"I suppose you and Blake don't kiss in front of your son."
"Yeah we do. You know I'm joking. But what if the dragon lady comes out of nowhere and takes your picture."
"Let her! We'll give her a real show."
After the sun was setting low in the western sky, the guys all got undressed and got wet, including Robbie. Then, several feet from shore, they soaped each other up and poured warm water over each other to rinse off. They put on clean shorts (a diaper in Robbie's case) but no underwear. It felt good to hang free. They'd have stayed naked had they not worried that the crazy woman might come around to take their pictures. What a pain!
They built up the fire again and popped corn over it. It tasted even better in the fresh air – especially since Josh had packed real butter to melt and sprinkle over it.
Robbie fell asleep in his daddy's arms, so Rob and Blake bid the other two a goodnight and got into their tent.
Eric and Josh got even closer together after their companions had gone to bed. Their making out became pretty intense.
"Are you ready for more of your birthday present," Eric asked when they came up for air.
"Right now I'd appreciate anything you'd like to give me if it involves getting off!" Josh snickered.
"Keep it down out there you horn-dogs! We're trying to concentrate on sleeping in here," Blake teased.
"Yeah right!" Eric giggled. "Don't get too many stains on the sleeping bags."
The weather had stayed warmer than expected, so Eric thought it might be fun to fulfill Josh's wishes. He pulled their big beach towels out of the tent and laid them end to end behind a patch of cattails on a smooth, sandy area a few yards from the tents.
"What do you have in mind," Josh asked excitedly.
"I'm gonna strip you naked and suck you dry under the stars. I spread the towels out so we can 69 if the urge strikes you."
"It will! But aren't you afraid of the dragon lady?"
"In the dark?"
"Yeah, you have a point there. In fact it's a big point. It feels like it's going to burst through your shorts."
"It wants to come out and play."
The boys stood there kissing deeply while running their hands down the back of each other's shorts to feel the warm flesh underneath. Presently, Eric undid the snap and zipper on Josh's shorts and pulled them to the ground. He kissed Josh's cock on the way back up.
Then Josh returned the favor and the two embraced nude in the darkness. It was a thrill to feel hot eager flesh pressed tightly against flesh with a slight breeze to remind them that they were naked as the day they were born.
"Oh God I love you," Josh breathed in Eric's ear. "In another month we'll have been together for a year. I can't even remember living before that. I think I just existed. It's all like an out-of-focus dream."
"I know what you mean. And when I think about how I almost bailed out on the whole camping trip, it scares me. Where would I be today if my dad hadn't pushed me into going? And what if our dads hadn't fallen in love all over again? Wow! I think it was fate or Divine Providence or maybe God had a hand in it directly. It all seems too perfect to be coincidence."
"I agree, but let's not waste time talking. I'm really horny tonight!"
"And that's different how?"
"Hush up and give me the rest of my present."
"Yes, your majesty." Eric giggled.
They were quiet from that point on except for the telltale sounds of cocks getting sucked. Eric lay on his back so that he could easily bathe Josh's low-hangers as well as deep-throat his big, uncut cock. Josh enjoyed both sensations and the fact that he could move his hips to increase his pleasure.
As much as Josh wanted to be pleasured, he also wanted to give pleasure. He bobbed up and down on Eric's steely erection enjoying the taste and texture. Releasing the hot cock from his mouth, Josh licked his way toward Eric's balls and perineum. When he got almost to Eric's sphincter, he nibbled on the area guys sometimes call the "taint". Eric gave an involuntary shudder.
"My arms are getting tired, let's turn on our sides." Josh requested.
"Your wish is my command, lover."
They teased each other to the brink several times before allowing each other release. When it came, it was intense. Both badly wanted to cum even though they wanted to make the feeling last. It was with moans of ecstasy that they went into freefall together. They remained still for several minutes in the afterglow. Reluctantly, they eventually released the softening tools from their lips. Then they kissed deeply for several more minutes.
"If I never get another birthday gift as long as I live, this will keep me till I die! Thanks Eric. I love you."
"I love you too."
Helping each other up, they waded into the lake up to their waists to wash off the extra residue. Then they walked back to their tent, arms around each other, to retire for the night.

I know this is early, but I have to be out of town beginning tomorrow, so posted early.
Several people inquired about the book mentioned in the last chapter. It is: "Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality" by Jack Rogers. Paul R tells me it's available through Barnes and Noble and Borders on line. I'm guessing Amazon probably has it too, though I've not checked. I got my copy autographed when he spoke at my church. Also, there is a website where you can find out more about Jack Rogers. I don't have the link on the tip of my tongue, but you can do a search and find him.
