Chapter 59
Eric and Josh straggled into the breakfast area of the hotel slightly after the time they'd all agreed to meet for their morning meal. Ben, Scott, Rob, Blake, and Robbie were all there. All but Robbie were just digging into dishes of fruit that they'd chosen for their first course. The guys at the table applauded their entrance.
"Did you oversleep?" Ben asked.
"Who slept?" Josh bantered back. "Did any of you guys close your eyes?"
"Robbie did until about 6:00," Blake yawned. "We shouldn't have been so eager to put him to bed early. We paid for it."
"We got a good night's sleep," Scott announced. "That is, after a while... By the way, you're both walking pretty straight."
"Yeah, we're good at faking it," Eric giggled. "I thought I was going to have to carry Josh."
They each got up at various times during the rest of their conversation to fill their plates with sausages and scrambled eggs or bring back bowls of cereal. Everyone seemed to have a healthy appetite.
"Check-out time isn't until 12:00, but we've settled up the bill already so all you have to do is turn in your key cards," Ben said. "We know you all planned for this expense, but it's our wedding gift to you. You're all on tighter budgets that we are."
Everyone thanked Ben and Scott, saying that they didn't expect it but were grateful for it.
"Anyone else for a little hot tub therapy before we go?" Blake asked, with a grin.
"That sounds like a good plan," Josh said blushing. "We probably could benefit from that more than the rest of you. I mean...; well, you know what I mean!"
Everyone but Robbie sat in the whirlpool for several minutes before packing to leave. The grandpas took turns entertaining him in the kiddy pool.
When all had enjoyed the therapeutic warm water sufficiently, they went back to their rooms to shower and dress for traveling. Minutes later, they met in the parking lot to exchange hugs before going their separate ways.
Scott wanted to take Ben on a tour of some of the local attractions while they were in Iowa. They drove to the historic Amana Colonies where they toured the woolen mill and browsed the furniture shops admiring the fine locally crafted pieces that were available.
Ben spotted a beautiful solid oak grandfather clock that he thought would be a perfect touch for the foyer of their house. Scott agreed and they purchased it as a memento of their wedding and official honeymoon.
They ate lunch at the Ronneburg Restaurant. Scott ordered Wiener schnitzel and spaetzle. Ben had the bratwurst and kraut. Both giggled like middle-school boys over the phallic appearance of the brat. They split their portions to share with each other so that they could enjoy tasting a wider variety of food without getting over stuffed.
After lunch, they toured the small museum in Main Amana before heading to a variety of little shops in the other colonies.
Late in the afternoon, they decided to stay at Zuber's Homestead Hotel instead of driving any further. That would give them a chance to sample other German food for dinner and allow them to continue their honeymoon without being exhausted from traveling.
If it weren't for the struggling economy, they wouldn't have been able to get a room at the last minute. As it was, they were given one of the larger suites at a bargain price which included breakfast. Given what they planned to do that evening, they'd likely have a good appetite in the morning!
Rob and Blake chose to spend their day in Cosgrove, moving to a less expensive motel for their second night. They wanted to tour the African-American Museum and the Czech Heritage Museum.
Because of the devastating flood from the previous year, the Czech collections were housed in less impressive surroundings. The grand museum, that had opened with President Clinton as well as dignitaries from the Czech Republic and Slovakia in attendance, now stood empty awaiting the decision of what to do with the building. However, several of the nearby shops and restaurants were again doing business. Sykora's Bakery was selling their famous kolaches and Dane had recommended trying them.
After eating lunch at Parlor City, the guys went to the bakery for their dessert. Robbie enjoyed chewing on the Czech treats as well. He was cutting another tooth, and kolaches seemed to offer enough resistance to make him happy.
They browsed in a shop that sold garnet jewelry from Czechoslovakia before Robby got fussy for his nap. Both guys bought garnet crosses for their mothers.
Their next stop was to register at a motel so that Robbie could get his rest. They needed a nap too.
Eric and Josh drove to Wisconsin. Their destination was the famous nude beach near Mazomanie that Dane and Colt had told them about. It was a several-hour drive, so they stopped for lunch on the way at some unremarkable restaurant.
When they got close to their destination, their first order of business was to reserve a spot at a campground before hitting the beach. Since it was Sunday afternoon, and many campers were leaving, they found a well-shaded place that was far enough from other campers and the toilet facilities to allow them the privacy they sought.
The parking lot was a fair distance from the beach itself. As they hiked toward the river carrying their few supplies in small bags, they wondered if this was the state's way of discouraging people from using it.
Eventually, they reached their destination. Because it was a pleasant Sunday afternoon, the place was pretty crowded. There was plenty of eye-candy once they headed to the left where most of the gay males hung out.
Both of them stripped the minute they arrived because they didn't want to appear like tourists who were gawking at others without showing what they had. With their shorts stuffed into the bags that held their towels, they walked proudly toward the area where other young men were gathered.
They laid their claim on an unoccupied bit of sand by putting their towels down. After spreading lotion on each other, they lay face-up in the sun for a bit.
Several older men suddenly seemed to have found reason to head for the river, passing the spot where they lay. Most of them smiled at the boys, but no one tried to hit on them.
A couple of college aged guys came over to talk to them. The older guys were quite surprised to learn that they were newlyweds. Their conversation revolved around the pros and cons of same-sex marriage. The college guys said that they were not ready to settle down, but thought the idea was cool for those who were. As they were talking, they discovered that they were staying at the same campground.
Two men who were about the age of their dads were making out under the shade of a beach umbrella. Both were hard as they could be and began to fondle each other. Eric and Josh watched the scene for a few minutes, but had to turn over on their stomachs because they were sprouting wood too.
"Can't they get in trouble for that on a public beach?" Josh whispered.
"Yeah, according to the signs we passed on the way in." Eric responded. "I wouldn't chance it!"
"Me neither!"
Because of their lack of rest from the night before, both boys fell asleep for nearly an hour. When they awakened, some of the people had left – including the amorous couple.
The college guys caught up with them as they dressed to walk back to the parking lot, inviting them to their campsite for a beer later in the evening. Josh thanked them and said they might come.
After they got back to their car, they drove to find a store where they could buy hotdogs, buns, chips, and marshmallows. In spite of not bringing proper cooking equipment, they were bound to eat out of doors instead of at a fast food joint.
It wasn't the most healthful meal, but it was probably better for them than eating at Mickey D's and a lot more fun. They packed the extra hotdogs in the small cooler with a little ice to keep them for the next day.
Before it was yet dark, one of their college acquaintances came over to invite them for a beer. They went to be sociable, but knew that they weren't going to stay a long time or get carried away and drink too much.
There were several guys around the campfire and probably none was old enough to legally imbibe, but all were drinking. Fortunately, it was a quiet gathering, so other campers didn't turn them in to the authorities.
Eric noticed that one guy was giving Josh a lot of attention. It made him uncomfortable to have someone not so subtly hitting on his husband. Of course, the guy might not know that Josh and he were married.
Perhaps their college friends hadn't told the others about the wedding, because the subject never came up. The boys were pleased not to be harassed or questioned, but a little disappointed at the same time. It was difficult to keep quiet about something that meant so much to them. If they were a straight couple, they could have shared their joy with the world without worrying about how anyone would react.
At Eric's suggestion, they left after one beer apiece and headed to the showers. It was difficult not sharing a shower as they would have at home or in a motel. Using separate showers was another concession to the social expectations of a straight world.
But once in their tent, they had the chance to express their love without any reservations. Eric wanted to try "riding" on Josh's tool like Josh had on his the night before. Josh was eager to please. He lay on his back with his cock as stiff as a tent pole.
After a few minutes of making out, Eric greased both Josh's pole and his own chute. He straddled Josh's firm torso and settled back, slowly impaling himself. It was cool that he could be completely in control of the entry. He was still a little tender from the night before.
Eric began by rocking back and forth giving pleasure to both of them. Josh lay there moaning for a while, but then got into it and thrust upward to meet Eric's butt while holding his hips. They established a pleasurable rhythm between them and were soon heading toward ecstasy.
Josh's hot volleys of cum squirting deep inside set Eric off too. Josh's torso was covered with jizz which got smeared pretty evenly on both of them.
The air had cooled by then, so they cuddled in the tight confines of the sleeping bag and drifted off. Both slept soundly until morning.
Back in St. Paul, Luc and Garret were talking before drifting off to sleep in Garret's bed. They had had a brief talk with Garret's parents earlier in the evening. It had been a little embarrassing, but it had also reassured the boys that Garret's family had no problem with their relationship. The only concern was that the boys both be careful so as not to end up with a venereal disease. The discussion had been planned for a time when Garret's siblings were not home.
"I'll bet my brother is getting laid tonight," Luc grinned. "I'm guessing that he's already done the deed with Blake since Blake is older and was in a relationship before. I really envy them."
"Do you want to do it?" Garret asked.
"Yeah, I want to give you my cherry, but I'm not sure I'm ready yet. I think we should have something more serious than hand lotion for lube. I'm not sure I could take you without getting stretched first."
"I've got lube in my dresser, but I don't want to hurt you."
"Uh, if you've got lube, we could try; I mean if you want to..."
By way of answer, Garret slid out of bed and rummaged through his top drawer. He came back carrying the tube of KY jelly and a condom, his stiff cock leading the way.
Luc suggested putting a towel down in case there was any blood. The thought of possibly causing his boyfriend to bleed made Garret's hardon wilt.
"I'll be okay," Luc insisted. "Just take it easy and don't force it if I'm too tight. Here, let me see if I can pump that thing up again."
The next few minutes were filled with silence other than Luc's slurping and Garret's gasping. Once Garret was at full mast again, he lubed his fingers to loosen Luc up. It wasn't an easy task because Luc hadn't ever inserted anything larger than his middle finger into that warm cavity. But the lack of experience wasn't putting a damper on his feelings. Garret was fingering him deeper than he'd ever done to himself and he loved the stimulation on his prostate. He was eager to have the real thing stuffed up his virgin butt.
Luc had not anticipated the searing pain that shot through him when Garret broke through the muscle ring. His cry caused Garret to back out immediately.
"Oh Baby, I didn't mean to hurt you! I won't try to do that again."
"It's okay. I don't seem to be bleeding. Maybe we should wait until later. We could ask Eric and Josh about what to do. I'm sure their screwing like rabbits right now."
"We'll have to wait because I don't think I can get hard again right now." Garret exclaimed. "I love you too much to make you hurt!"
"Thanks for being patient with me," Luc sighed. "I really wanted to give myself to you. I'm sorry!"
"It's okay."
"Did you mean it when you said you love me?"
"Yeah. I don't know everything about love, but I know what I feel right here," Garret responded placing Luc's left hand on his chest.
"I feel the same," Luc said. "I know we're young and all, but damn I do care about you!"
And so the two boys drifted off to sleep holding each other.
Eric and Josh awakened early on Monday morning loving the fact that they were husbands, but hating the fact that their honeymoon trip was all but over. They pulled on yesterday's shorts, grabbed clean sport shorts, towels, and toiletries and headed for the shower house.
The place was deserted so they decided to chance showering together. The shower curtain went completely down to the floor, giving them privacy in case anyone came in. They soaped each other and fooled around, but stopped short of orgasm. They were saving that for later.
"I don't feel like eating hotdogs for breakfast," Eric said. "Do you think we could stop somewhere on the way back to Mazo beach?"
"We can do that," Josh agreed. "We'll probably have the beach to ourselves since it's Monday. That would be nice. We can concentrate on getting an all-over tan without worrying about getting hit on."
"And we got hit on yesterday?" Eric giggled.
"There were a number of old guys checking out our bods."
"Well duh! Isn't that why guys go bare-ass on the `gay' side of the beach?"
Josh blushed, knowing that he didn't mind showing off.
"Okay, I like to get admiring glances, but I don't want to go any further. There was one college guy at the campfire who was obviously staring at my crotch all evening."
"I know," Eric smiled. "Why do you think I was `too tired' to stay longer? It was either leave or have an ugly confrontation. I'm not going to be controlling and put you on a leash, but I'm not going to sit by while you get perved on even if you do like it a little!"
The boys packed up their camping equipment easily because there was little of it. Within half an hour they were heading for breakfast. Instead of looking for a fast-food joint, they stopped at a mom and pop's place that served up a large meal at a low price – as long as they avoided large glasses of orange juice which was pretty expensive. Their hardy appetites were satisfied eventually.
Their waitress stopped to chat when she brought their check. She thought that they looked familiar and was surprised to find that they were not locals.
"You look so happy that I figured you must be excited over yesterday's ball game. Our town team came out first in their league. So, what's the special occasion?"
"We're enjoying a short vacation from work and we've had a great time in Iowa and Wisconsin," Josh answered for both of them.
"It must have been some vacation to have you both smiling all over," she declared.
"Oh it was," Eric said. "You have no idea!"
Josh paid the bill, making sure that he left a 20% tip. He could hardly wait to get outside so that they could have a good laugh. He wasn't ashamed to admit that he was on his honeymoon, but he suspected that the lady would have been horrified if they'd told her.
As Josh had predicted, Mazo Beach wasn't as populated as it had been the day before. In their minds, that was both good and bad. It was great not to have competition for a good spot. However, the boys initially worried that they wouldn't be as safe from predators with so few other people around. Their fears were unfounded because several families arrived fairly soon. Besides, the other gay men left them alone for the most part. No doubt everyone checked each other out, but that was it. Eventually, both felt comfortable enough to take a short nap.
After they'd had enough sun, they put their flimsy shorts back on and headed for the parking lot. It was nearing noon and they were famished. Down the road a bit, they went through the drive-up window of a Hardees and ordered Thickburgers, fries, and water to drink. They were trying to avoid both the sugary fountain drinks and artificial sweeteners. Swimming season would be upon them before they knew it.
The drive home was uneventful, just as it should be. They arrived in time to help their dads and bros prepare dinner.
Everyone exchanged stories about the sights they'd seen and the things they'd eaten. All agreed that married life was off to a great start.
