Author's note
"Sunset on the Edge of the High Desert"(Beginnings-Dec 27, 2007) was a story of Louie and Adam. Louie, a much older man, who was killed in this last episode. Thus, the quote, "And so the Saga of Louie and Adam comes to an end.. The sun has set now for Louie. He will watch the sunsets holding his wife's hand on one side and Joe's hand on the other. Sunrise signals the beginning of a new day. Likewise, it can be a beginning of a new life and all the challenges that go along with it. There will be a sunrise for Adam which will be followed by many sunsets." Sunrise is the story of Adam and his new beginning and his new life.

Chapter 1
"Jack, I can¢t believe it has been a year since we lost Louie. I can feel his presence and I just can¢t let go. You have been here for me all the time. I don¢t know what I would have done without you. I don¢t think I could have survived on my own. Thanks!" Adam said sobbing.
Jack just moved across the hot tub and took Adam in his arms and held him tightly to his chest for a long time without saying anything. "Adam, I told you that I would always be here for you and I will, too. Now, you have to let of Louie go and move on with your life. Only you can do that because, no one else can do it for you."
Adam continued to cry and Jack just held him. Finally, Adam calmed down. "Jack, as you know I have not been back to the cabin and up the hill where we scattered Louie¢s ashes. I can¢t put it off any longer. There are several hours of daylight left and I would like to be there at sunset. I want to get up early in the morning and watch the sunrise. I want to start a new beginning. Would you take me up there? I have to go there before I can let Louie go and I can¢t do it by myself."
"Adam, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I haven¢t been back myself and I have been waiting for you. Now we can do this together. Let¢s go. But first we need to put some clothes on."
"Could we stay all night in the cabin and go to the hot springs tomorrow? I would like to pay you back for all that you have done for me. So many times I have wanted to crawl into bed with you and make you happy but I have not been able to force myself to do so."
"Adam, you don¢t know how many times I have wanted the same thing but I knew I had to wait until you were ready. I didn¢t want to force you to do something that you didn¢t want. Yes, we can stay for several days if need be. I have had the men stock and clean the cabin waiting for this time. Let¢s go!"
Jack drove the truck. Adam sat next to him, not saying anything. Just crying softly. Jack did no talking himself. He just put his arm around Adam¢s shoulder and he too, had tears running down his cheeks. When the cabin came into sight, Adam let out a loud moan and almost passed out. Jack just keep driving until they reached the cabin. Jack had to half carry Adam inside.
"Adam, Are you going to be ok or do you want to go back?"
" I will be fine and no I can¢t go back. Just hold me tight and help me up the hill."
Jack got the lantern because he had traveled the path at night before. He knew that it would be dark before they returned. Adam had both arms around Jack¢s waist and wouldn¢t let go. They started up the hill. About half way up, Adam stopped and refused to go any farther. Jack just started singing ¡Beyond the Sunset¢ and soon Adam joined in. Adam had sung this song when they scattered Louie¢s ashes. Singing gave them both inspiration and strength. The journey continued. They finally reached the top.
Adam sat down on the favorite rock and turned to Jack and said, "Jack, could I be alone. There are some things I need to do by myself. I want to talk with Louie alone?"
"Sure thing, I will just move on around the corner a bit. I have some deep thinking to do also. Let me know when you are finished."
After about 30 minutes, Adam left his rock and went to find Jack, who was sitting with his eyes closed and with a big smile on his face. "Boy, Jack you must be thinking good thoughts. I certainly hope that I was in them!"
"That you were Big Guy, That you were!"
"I haven¢t been called Big Guy since Louie died. I like it and you can call me Big Guy anytime you want. I don¢t mind. It makes me feel alive and wanted. Jack this trip up here was exactly what I needed to bring me back into the world of the living.
"This trip was what we both needed. The old Adam is back. I didn¢t know what to do or how to do it. I knew something had to be done and soon. I was beginning to become afraid of what might happen."
"Jack, I am back to stay. Life is too good to waste it away. Oh, by the way, I didn¢t know you were a singer. You sounded great back there on the trail."
"Adam, I have somethings that I would like to confess. I have admired how you sang. I wanted to be like you, so I have been taking voice lessons all year, I have been waiting for you to return. I hope that you will continue to help me. Maybe we can become a duet."
"Jack I would like nothing better. Let¢s go back to the rock and practice.. I am sure Louie, his wife, and Joe would like to have a concert. I haven¢t sang since Louie¢s death. I had no reason to but now I have. Hurry up, I want us to fill the hills with music."
Jack and I sang until the sun went behind the hills. We started down the mountain until we came to the hot springs. "Jack, let¢s stop and soak for awhile. It has been a long time since I have even thought about this wonderful and fabulous place. I want to spend some time with the most compassionate and ravishing man in the whole world." By now I had most of my clothes off and Jack was not far behind. I could barely wait until Jack was completely nude. I knew what kind of treat was waiting for me. Jack¢s manhood would be the envy of any man. I became as excited as a kid at Christmas time and you would think this was my first time to see him completely nude.
I stepped out of my jeans and my skimpy bikini underwear. Jack was all eyes and was grinning from ear to ear. He was taking his time and about to drive me wild. I stepped closer and took hold of his belt. "Here let me help you with that. You are being way to poky."
"What is your hurry? We have all night and then some. We might as well take our time and enjoy life as we go!" Jack teased.
"You don¢t know how many times this last year, I dreamed of this moment. I can¢t wait any longer. I am in dire need of your beautiful body wrapped around me and satisfying my lust and desires!"
Jack¢s clothes fell to the ground as he took me in his arms and put his lips on mine. With our bodies locked as one, we slipped into the warm water and sat down. Both of us, wanting the other.
"Jack, you have to take it easy with me at first. You are a very big man and nothing has stretched me for a year now. So I have to be very tight and will need a little patience on your part but I am more than ready for you."
"So what is new, you have always been very tight and you know how to show a man a good time. Guess what? I am more than ready for you, as you can tell.. I haven¢t been completely an old hermit and have had a few good times. You were always in my mind, along with all the wonderful memories of our times together."
"Man are you going to talk all night? I think you are all talk and no action!"
"No talk and no action, you say. I show you what action really is and you will be hollering ¡Uncle¢ before I am finished with you, wise guy!" His hands began moving down Adam¢s muscular and well built body."
Adam put his arms around Jack¢s neck and started kissing him. "Listen, you are just all talk. I don¢t think you are man enough to carry out your threats. Jack I have waited a long time for this moment. I am yours and you can have me for as long as you like. Just remember, I want to be on the hill top at sunrise. I want to see the first light of day and the new beginning."
"No problem, I know I can¢t last that long even if I tried. We can give it a good try and will continue until we are both satisfied or too tired to move. Just remember, I like to bottom, also."
After a couple of good rounds each, Jack and Adam moved down the mountain to the cabin. They set the alarm and both of them fell asleep immediately, entwined with the other¢s body.
Using the lantern, Jack and Adam walked carefully to the top of the hill. They didn¢t want to slip on the heavy dewed grass and fall. They had plenty of time, so they just sat on the rock, holding each other tightly.
Soon the first light of day started bouncing off the tops of the trees and slowly it moved to the valley floor. The entire valley had a certain glow and charm to it. The tranquility was breath taking. Neither one of them wanted to break the enchantment that had captured both of them. Adam started singing and Jack joined in. Soon, the sun¢s warming rays caused them to become aware of the hunger pains that were starting to set in.
"Big Guy, why don¢t we start working our way down to the cabin and get something to eat. We can stop at the hot springs and soak our bodies for awhile."
"That is all we will do is soak. My bottom feels like it needs some nice warm water. I don¢t think I will be able to sit for a week. Jack, You pounded it so much last night. I bet I even walk funny."
"Hey, did I say anything about doing something other than soaking. Since you mentioned it, maybe we should go a couple of rounds. Relax, just kidding." Jack laughed.
They stripped and stepped into the warm water. "I think that I could stay here all day. This certainly feels nice." Jack expounded. "Oh, I forgot to turn that stupid cell phone off. It is probably one of the hands needing help. I shouldn¢t even answer it but I better. It may be important."
He got out of the pool, shivered a little and walked to his clothes and retrieve the phone. Adam could not hear what was going on but could tell that it was serious by the expression on Jack¢s face. After a few minutes, Jack hung up and just stood there pale as a sheet. Adam knew something was wrong and rushed to his side and took him in his arms, hugging him close.
"Jack come on back into the water. You are going to get chilled to the bone.." Adam, half carried Jack back into the warm water and sat him on the rock bench. He didn¢t try to pry but just held Jack close and stroke his head gently.
"Adam, I am sorry it was but about my grandfather in Montana."
"Jack you don¢t have to apologize for anything. You are only human and besides what are close friend for anyway. I am here when you want someone to lean on and support you. Can you talk to me now or do you need more time."
"Thanks Big Guy! That was my grandmother¢s niece. My Grandfather has become very ill and will have to go into a nursing home. He is terminal and does not have more than 6 months to live. He is still at home but has around the clock nurses with him."
"Why are we sitting around here talking? Let¢s get a move on and head for Montana. We can leave Larry in charge and he will take care of everything."
"Adam, I can¢t ask you to go with me. I can go by myself."
"You did not ask me, I told you that I was going. Jack, you have been here for me when I needed you the most. Now, I want to be there for you. Give me your cell and let me call the Redmond airport and see if we can catch a flight out tonight. Where in Montana are we going ? Let¢s move, we have a lot to do!" Adam gave him a big hug and a kiss.
"There you go again, Big Guy, putting the whole world ahead of yourself."
"I don¢t have time to think about #1. I¢ll race you to the cabin." With that, Adam jumped up, got out the pool, grabbed his clothes and took off running naked through the woods. Much to his surprise, Jack passed him. Jack didn¢t even stop to get his clothes. Adam turned around and ran back got them and took off for the cabin again.
When he arrived, Jack was busy putting their gear into the truck, still naked. "I¢ll be ready in just a few minutes. Make the call and I will finish up."
Adam called the airport and got connections. He turned to Jack and said, "Jack we don¢t have much time to kill, our plane leaves in 4 hours." He quickly put on his clothes and Jack told him to jump in because he was ready to go.
Jack ran around to the driver¢s side and started to climb in. Adam stopped him. "Jack, aren¢t you forgetting something. I think you had better get dressed. I don¢t want you giving everyone at the ranch a heart attack. Although, I like you better the way you are."
Jack chuckled and got dressed. We were soon on our way. I have never been to Montana and I was certainly looking forward to this new adventure. Jack had talked much about his grandparents and Adam felt that he already knew his grandpa.
