CHAPTER 2 - Johann unveils to Jakobus a new world

Three days later, Johann and Jakobus went to the forest on the mountain that lay well inland, far from the castle, and reached the refuge on their horses. It was a complex of three buildings. In the biggest one the gamekeepers and the staff were living, the middle one was reserved for occasional guests and the small one, where Johann and his father or the brothers usually slept, was situated somewhat apart and beautifully built.

They left the horses in the stable at the biggest house, then Johann took his cousin to visit the small refuge.

"We call this building the Retreat. So, here on the ground floor there is the kitchen and the living room, you see? And here the toilet and the bathroom. Let's go upstairs now. Here there are three bedrooms: this one, with a double bed, and these rooms with bunk beds. When all the family comes here, papa and maman sleep in the double bed room, in this one us brothers and in the other one our sisters. Now as it is entirely for us, we can sleep in whichever room we like best. The most beautiful room is this one with the double bed, because as you see, from here the most wonderful panorama can be seen. Therefore, if you want, you can use this room."

"It is wonderful, very intimate. But where are you going to sleep?"

"Bah, in any of the free rooms..."

"As we are alone... I would like having the possibility to chat for a while with you before falling asleep. Therefore tell me what room you will sleep in, and I will use one of the other free beds, if this doesn't bother you."

"No, no, you have to sleep here, in the most beautiful room..."

"Well... why then don't you also sleep here? The bed is very wide, there is room for both of us. And if we have to make the bed by ourselves, would be easer to make such a wide bed with two, don't you think?"

"As you like, Jakobus. You are the guest and anything you desire is good for me. Then we will both sleep here..."

Jakobus was happy. They opened their suitcases and put away their clothes in the big closet.

"You will have to teach me everything, Johann... you should have patience."

"I will teach you everything and I will be patient!" the cousin answered with a wide smile. "First of all let's go downstairs to light the fire in the kitchen, so we can cook our lunch. Coming?"

"Yes, of course." Jakobus answered, thrilled.

Johann was explaining to him what he had to do and Jakobus, eager, did everything. He felt really amused he had to pump the water from the well, turning the pump crank. And he was delighted to learn to light the fire in the stove, to prepare the food, to cook it.

"A meal entirely prepared with our hands!" the boy exclaimed when they sat at the table.

The two boys ate with good appetite. Afterwards, tying two large aprons round their waists, they washed and dried dishes and pots and tidied the whole kitchen.

"Now let's go and change our clothes. To go in the woods it is better to wear our leather clothes." Johann instructed.

They shot up the stairs by twos, quickly undressed and put on the leather clothes.

"Good, now you look like a real highlander!" Johann said looking at him, "These clothes fit you perfectly!"

"They fit you too, Johann. Do you know that I'm feeling more...real with these clothes on me?"

"Yes, more free. Did you ever climb a tree?"

"No, never..."

"Come on then, I'll teach you. Out there is a big oak and from its top you can enjoy the most splendid panorama in all the world. Come on!"

They ran out. With Johann's help, Jakobus managed to climb the majestic old tree, up, up to where the last branches forked, where the two boys sat, each astride one of the two big branches.

"Look, isn't it wonderful?"

The boy looked and fell silent. After a while he exclaimed, "It is wonderful! From here we can see the entire valley! Look how the river is shining, down there - it seems like a ribbon of diamonds! Oh, Johann, you are lucky having all this and being able to enjoy it when you want!"

"When you are king, will you come here again?"

"Certainly. But also before that day, I hope. It is worth living just to see this. Some things are so beautiful that it is even not possible to describe them. And this view is one of those things."

"And you never saw deer from nearby, if I'm not wrong?"

"No, never, just their stuffed heads."

"Would you like to see them? From really close?"

"Oh yes, of course!"

"Tomorrow I will take you to see them. We will have to set off in the morning and to walk for a long while, but it will be worth it."

"I believe you..."

"Shush, keep quiet! Do you hear? That's a skylark..."

After a while they climbed down. Johann guided him to explore the surroundings. He knew the name of any plant, of any flower, of any animal. Jakobus was passing from wonder to wonder.

"Ah! I know all the names of our ancestors, but would not be able to tell you of two different grass blades. I envy you, Johann."

"Well, as a king what use would it be if you knew the names of all the grass blades?"

"It would make me feel less of a stranger to nature. Before being a king, or a duke, or a stable boy, we are men, nature's creatures."

"Yes, that's so. Then, dear cousin, do so that you will never forget it."

"I shall. And you have much more value than all of my tutors in the entire group."

"Oh, don't exaggerate, now. If you didn't know the laws, and history, what sort of king would you be? All can be important in life, according to the role one has to carry out."

"Hey, what is that?"

"A squirrel, of course."

"Ah, yes. I saw it in a book illustration. But I though it was bigger... It's really charming. Look how he eats! And he's not scared of us..."

"No, here nobody harms them, or bothers them."

They went back at the Retreat in the evening. Johann made Jakobus prepare the supper, just giving him some needed advice from time to time. Jakobus was greatly charmed to eat the roasted chicken with his fingers and afterwards to lick them.

"Should maman and grande-mère see me now, they would be horrified!" Jakobus merrily exclaimed.

After they finished clearing up in the kitchen, they lit the fireplace in the living room and sat on the ground, on a carpet, side by side, to chat.

"I am exhausted, Johann!"

"Did I make you work too much?

"No, not at all, it is not that. Too many emotions, today! I'm feeling dazed. But really happier than ever I felt before. How can I ever thank you enough?"

"By continuing to be happy, Jakobus." Johann answered girdling his shoulders with an arm.

"At the Palace, I couldn't offer you even a tenth of all this..."

"It will be enough if you give me your sincere friendship. It is worth more than ten times all this."

"Oh, you will have it. You will have it forever!"

"Swear it!"

"I swear, Johann!"

Later they went upstairs to the bedroom, undressed, put on their night shirts and laid on the wide bed.

"You know, this is the first time I am not sleeping alone... I can talk before falling asleep. At the Palace there is a page in the adjoining room, but I am alone, without being alone. I don't know if I manage to explain myself..."

"Yes, I can understand you."

"With him I don't speak... we are two aliens."

"Yes."

"Will you hold my hand?"

"Yes, sure."

They stretched out an arm and seized each other's hand, intertwining their fingers.

"I would have liked having an elder brother, Johann."

"I can be him, during these days, if you want."

"Yes... you are him."

"I am happy having you here, Jakobus. Even though we can meet so seldom, I love you."

"Yes, and so I do you. Papa at times tells me about your maman. He loves her, as I love Stefanie. But I hope that Stefanie could stay near me. At times I think that papa feels lonely... and sad."

"He has aunt Margaretha, doesn't he?"

"Maman? They sleep in two different rooms... and maman is always so... aloof. She is not bad, but... Do uncle and aunt always sleep in the same bed or only when they come here?"

"No, always."

"Thus they are feeling less lonely, aren't they?"

"Certainly."

"Also grande-mère Bianca and king Jakobus II were sleeping in two separate rooms. Who knows... it seems that king and queen have to do so... She has her ladies in waiting, he has his attendants, I have my pages... and we all are alone and lonely!"

"But you are not alone, now, nor lonely..."

"No, of course not, as long as you're here..."

Later Jakobus fell asleep, feeling in his heart a great sense of warmth of the affectionate physical closeness of another human being, his beloved cousin Johann.

The following morning Johann woke him up. They went downstairs to wash themselves. In turns they went into the tub and helped each other to wash and pour over the warm water to rinse. They dried and dressed, then Johann had Jakobus prepared the breakfast as, keen to learn, he wanted to do all by himself. Then they prepared a packed lunch and put it in their rucksacks, and they set off on foot to climb the slopes of the mountain.

Later, Johann laid in wait with his cousin in a kind of hut and whispered to him, "Now we have to keep totally silent and still for a long time and, if we are lucky, the deer will pass by here. Hiding here, they won't smell us. And there, there is the path for them to go to the pool to drink."

They were lucky - after not even half an hour, the deer arrived. Jakobus looked at them, his eyes wide, holding back his breath.

After they had all passed by, Jakobus whispered, "How could it be possible to kill such beautiful animals? How can one go hunting?"

"At times it is necessary doing it, especially when there is an animal lame from an accident of seriously wounded after a fight between males. But I agree with you... Keep silent, now, they are possibly coming back..."

They saw them pass by again. There was in particular a young deer, slender, of incredible beauty, that stopped close to the hut and turned towards them as if to look at them. Then he went away, nimble, quiet, to reach the rest of the herd that had proceeded ahead.

When they were far off, Jakobus said to Johann, "Do you think he knew we are here?"

"Who knows... It is possible..."

"That young male was really beautiful, wasn't he?"

"Yes. I think that when he is adult, he could become the new leader of the herd. If you could come here in the mating period, you could be lucky enough to be present at a fight between two males. It is a real sight. Let's go, now."

"Where?"

To the pool where the deer went to water. It is very beautiful. The water is clear and fresh and we will stop there to eat our lunch."

The pool consisted of a little fall one meter high, and a limpid pool from which issued a rivulet going down, murmuring across the rocks. They sat nearby and started to eat.

"This is the Earthly Paradise, Johann."

"Yes, and without the apple tree and the snake. Here everything is pure."

"It really is so. It's a pity that Stefanie and Friedrich are not here."

"We will arrange it so that one day they can come here too."

"How long can we remain here?"

"One more week. Then papa and Waldemar will come up and the day after we'll all go back to the castle together."

"I have to enjoy this week." Jakobus cheerfully exclaimed.

"Yes, we will enjoy it, I promise you."

At mid-afternoon they went back and along the way down, Johann continued to show to his cousin the plants and to tell him their names, so that he started to recognize some of them. Back to the Retreat, they chopped the wood, then ate their supper. Then sat again in front of the fireplace. Jakobus took a hand of his cousin and they intertwined their fingers.

"Fire is fascinating."

"You have it at the court too..."

"Yes, at least this, we have," Jakobus nodded, "but I cannot stay in front of it sitting on the floor..."

They talked of this and that. After a while Johann proposed, "Can we go to bed, now? We can go on chatting in the bed too, if you like."

"Yes, alright."

They slipped under the covers. They were on a side, facing each other, very close. Jakobus moved a hand to search for that of Johann who gently squeezed it and with his other arm he lightly girdled his cousin's shoulders.

"Do you feel good, here with me, Jakobus?"

"Yes, very much."

"I too... Come closer, come on." He said gently pulling him to himself.

Jakobus quietly moved forward, until their foreheads brushed and their knees touched. Johann's hand moved lightly on Jakobus' back in a kind of caress. The boy, instinctively, squeezed his cousin's hand that was in his own. Johann returned the squeeze, then freed his hand and gently passed it on Jakobus' chest. The boy emitted a light sigh, interpreting that gesture as just a simple gesture of affection. Johann's hand went down to brush, through the cloth of the night shirt, his cousin's belly. Then went further down and rested on the boy's member that at once started to awaken.

"What are you doing?" Jakobus, surprised, asked but without moving.

"Does it bother you?"

"No... but... Why are you touching me like that? There?"

"Because I like you, Jakobus. Because I am fond of you."

"But... don't... don't only a man and a woman touch this way?" Jakobus asked, hesitant and confused, but also excited by that light, warm, insistent touch.

"Also two boys, Jakobus, also two men can. Why don't you try to touch me down there..."

"I don't know..."

"Isn't it good?"

"Yes... yes, it is... agreeable..."

"So then? Touch me too, go on."

Jakobus hesitated. Then shyly stretched out a hand and felt his cousin's erection. Johann, moving his arm around his cousin's waist, pulled him more against himself, touching his now hard member with more determination.

"Johann..."

"Tell me, Jakobus."

"Are you sure that... that it is all right?"

"Certainly. Didn't I teach you, up to now, only good and right things?"

"Yes, that's true, but..."

"Two men fond of each other express it in this way... and also like this..." Johann said and kissed his cousin on the mouth.

Jakobus stiffened for a moment, emitted a short sob, but then let himself go and accepted that kiss, that became even more intimate and deep.

"Isn't it good?" Johann asked in a low voice, parting a little from him.

"Yes, certainly..." Jakobus answered slightly trembling, feeling his head turn as if he had drunk wine.

"Did you never make love, Jakobus?"

"Love? No, never."

"I'm going to teach you to make love, now. Because I like you too much, Jakobus."

"But we are both males... Don't these things work only for a male with a female?" the boy asked again, confused.

"No, they do different things. What I am going to teach you now can be done only by two males. And we will do them, you and I, tonight, to complete in a splendid way a splendid day. You do trust me, don't you?"

"Yes, of course." Jakobus answered, still confused but aroused.

Johann climbed on top of him with all of his body, embraced and kissed him again on his mouth, pushing his own erection against that of his cousin, Jakobus this time returned the kiss and thought it was really beautiful. He shuddered and his cousin felt encouraged.

"It is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes... it is really beautiful... teach me..."

"Let's take off our night shirts. Love is better made when naked."

"Alright."

Johann climbed off from his cousin so that the two boys could quickly undress. Then Johann brushed the naked chest and back of his cousin with his fingertips, then pressed his lips on a nipple and started to lightly suck it.

"Oh! Oh what sensations!" Jakobus moaned, shuddering again.

Johann guided him to lie on his side and pressed against his back, making him feel his stiffness against the buttocks and fingering his genitals.

"Do you like that?"

"Yes."

"I will now enter into you, so we will make love..." his cousin whispered continuing to arouse him.

"But... how?"

"From the back, you'll see"

"But..."

"This is the way two men unite to make love. So we will unite, you and I. You will see that it is very good. I will prepare you carefully, my Jakobus, then I will penetrate you. It will be beautiful..."

"Are you... sure?"

"Certainly I am, trust me."

"It seems all so... weird."

"But also good, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's true."

"I already did it, I know how it should be done, and now I will teach you... I will teach you to make love. Love between men. The best kept secret on earth..." Johann whispered, in a persuasive tone.

Jakobus hesitation was vanishing with the increasing of his excitement and of his pleasure.

"I never experienced anything like this, before now..."

"But it's good, isn't it?" Johann insisted.

"Yes, weird but good." Jakobus conceded.

Then Johann had him lie on his back, crouched near him and started to lick his chest, going slowly down, down...

"What are you doing , now?"

"I am preparing you to make love. Learn it, so afterwards you will do the same to me. You have a really beautiful body, Jakobus, a really desirable body."

Johann finally reached the erect member of the boy and started to kiss, lick, caress it, and at last made it slip between his lips, into his mouth. Jakobus gave a start of pleasure and emitted a short moan.

"Are you liking it?"

"Oh yes, Johann, it's wonderful! Wonderful!"

The cousin worked it with his mouth and in the while he made the boy spread his legs, so he could kneel between them. Then resumed licking his member, went down to lick his firm testicles, while caressing his chest and belly. And finally, making him raise his legs a little, went to lick on the flesh bud between his buttocks.

Jakobus trembled, "Oh, Johann... I'm feeling giddy... I'm feeling drunk... It's incredible... What are you doing to me?" he moaned tossing his head on the pillow.

His cousin raised his legs some more, spreading then, to have an easier access and lick him more deeply. He went on for a long while, wetting his hole with saliva and pushing the tip of his tongue onto it, until he heard him panting strongly from the intensity of the pleasure.

"You are driving me crazy, Johann..."

"Do you want me to stop?"

"No!" the boy almost yelled.

Johann, pleased, started again, alternating his tongue with his finger, so starting to prepare him for penetration. Jakobus was languid, yielding, incredibly turned on.

"Now, my sweet little cousin, I will put my member in there. Are you ready to receive me inside you?"

"Yes but... is it not too big? Can I receive you?"

"Do you want me inside you? Do you want to know the joys of love?"

"Yes, oh yes..." moaned the boy.

Johann leaned over him and made him feel the tip of his turgid rod on the entrance of the virgin channel. He started to push on the well lubricated hole and this yielded a little, started to widen, dilated and took a centimetre of it, then two, then more.

"Do you like it?" panted Johann.

"Oh yes... I'm feeling you enter..."

"I am taking your virginity, my sweet friend."

"Yes..."

"Do you want all of it inside you?"

"Yes..."

Johann was pleasantly surprised by the ease with which his cousin was accepting, receiving him. Jakobus was fully relaxed, completely docile for that never dreamed of intrusion, which was so intensely beautiful. Johann slipped inside him without resistance, with a slight strain, pushing with determination but without violence, until he was fully embedded inside him. He then lightly pinched his nipples and Jakobus shuddered from head to toe, seized by an intense and dull pleasure.

"I am totally inside you, my Jakobus."

"Yes, I can feel you. It feels good."

"We will now really start making love. Now I will make you really mine..." Johann murmured, filled with desire and passion.

He would never have thought that his cousin could and would receive him so easily. He started to move back and forth with gentle determination. He saw his little cousin eyes gazing at his own, luminous and filled with pleasure. He could feel his tender and firm body tossing and shuddering under his vigorous coming and going.

"You like it, Jakobus, don't you?" he asked for the umpteenth time.

"Yes."

"How much do you like it?"

"Very much, Johann, so very much!

"I like it too, do you know?"

"Yes, I feel it, I see it."

Johann went on taking him with transport and passion. He tried to control his own orgasm, to make that union last for a long time, but his cousin was so tight, the pleasure so intense that he was not able to and he suddenly unloaded in the rectum of his complaisant cousin, moaning aloud his pleasure and shuddering intensely from head to toe. His shudders seemed to communicate to Jakobus who strongly trembled under him, moaning. Johann let himself down on top of him, intimately kissing him in the mouth, waiting for their breath to calm down, for their heart to be back to a normal beat. And only then was he aware that also Jakobus had also reached his orgasm, possibly at the same time as him. He tenderly caressed him, remaining on top of him.

"Has it been beautiful, then?" he asked in a whisper.

"Incredibly beautiful, Johann. This is making love then?"

"Yes, this is making love between two men, my sweet Jakobus." The cousin answered.

He parted from his body and with one of their night shirts he cleaned up their bodies of Jakobus' seed.

"Come in my arms, now, my handsome cousin!" Johann said keeping against himself the boy and wrapping him with his arms and legs, then covered their bodies with the covers. "Let's sleep, now."

"Oh, Johann, but I would like to talk about it..."

"Tomorrow, if you want. Tomorrow morning. Now let's rest."

"Yes, as you want. Good night, Johann."

"Good night."

"And... thank you."

"Thank you to you, little cousin..."

They fell asleep, satisfied and serene, tied to one another, grateful to each other for the joy and pleasure they received.

The following morning Jakobus woke up the first. While asleep they had separated. Johann was sleeping on his back, a serene expression on his beautiful face. Jakobus lightly caressed his chest. He cousin opened his eyes and smiled him.

"Johann, you are so beautiful!"

"You too, my dear cousin." The youth answered, ruffling his hair in an affectionate gesture.

Jakobus bent onto him and gave him a light and tender kiss on the lips.

"But you have to explain me plenty of things, you who are so... grown-up."

"Yes, all you want... and all I know."

Jakobus cuddled against him and rested with a cheek on his chest.

"We made love, last night."

"Certainly."

"Why has nobody ever told me it is such a wonderful thing?"

"Because people never talk about it."

"But why?"

"Because they are silly and filled with prejudices."

"I know that a man and a woman can make love, but even about that I don't exactly know how it happens, nor if it is so beautiful."

"I still have not done it with a woman."

"Do all men make love between themselves?"

"No, on the contrary, just a few... very few."

"That's weird. Why a few, if it is so beautiful?"

"Moreover usually, the grown-up people mainly, and the priests too, say that two men should not make love. Therefore you have to be very careful that nobody ever comes to know about it."

"But... the grown-up people don't do it? Only boys like us do it?"

"No, some grown-up men also do it. But in hiding, secretly. Love is always made in hiding and nobody talks about it, not even when it is between a man and a woman, and in a special way when it is between two men as we did."

"It seems me so weird... it is so beautiful..."

"I know, this is why I wanted to teach you. And there are other things I will teach you. But you have to swear me you will never ever tell anybody... do you promise me?"

"Yes, of course."

"Mainly the priests. They say it is bad, it is a sin."

"Possibly because they never have tried it, don't you think?" Jakobus said.

"It could be... but more probably because they would like to but cannot..."

"But what about you... who taught you, who explained to you, if one has not to talk about it?"

"One of our young gamekeepers."

"Oh. You did it with him?"

"Yes. In the woods, one afternoon, about two years ago. I was your age."

"And was it good?"

"It was beautiful. And after him I did it with one of the cousins on papa's side as well."

"Did you teach him?"

"No, he already knew and liked doing it very much. But not everybody likes it. Some men prefer doing it only with women, others like it both with women and with men, and others only with men."

"But if one has not to talk about it, how did you know to do it with that cousin?"

"We understood each other... because of some glances..."

They talked for a long time. At one point Jakobus asked, "But, tell me, is it not weird putting it there, in the back? From there come out the faeces..."

"Sure, but from there urine doesn't come out, and also the seed? And the mouth is not made just to speak, but also to breath, to eat. Our organs often have different functions."

"That's right. But why does the seed come out also between two males? Doesn't the seed come out to beget children?"

"The seed comes out each time pleasure reaches its peak, whether to beget children or not. Also when one puts it inside a woman the seed comes out, but not only to beget children. Usually husband and wife can make love every night, but the don't beget a child every time, do they?"

"That's true."

"It is also a way to tell the other I like you, I'm fond of you, or also I love you."

"But when two are in love, they live forever together, isn't it so?"

"If they can, yes. For a man and a woman at times it is possible and also easy, though not always. For two men it is difficult and very rare, almost impossible."

"But why? Especially if they are in love with each other?"

"Certainly, even if they love each other."

"But it is not fair!"

"And yet it is so. Nobody can help it."

"Oh no! If I will be in love with a man or a woman, I will live always and only with him or with her and nobody else!"

"It would not be so easy, and especially for a king it is not so. The reasons of State oblige him to have an heir and therefore a wife. And his wife of a prince is almost always chosen by the king and his ministers, you know it, don't you?"

"It is true. I never thought of that, before. But it is horrible!" Jakobus commented with decision.

After a while they got up, washed and dressed. Then they ate breakfast.

Jakobus said to his cousin, "But you and I are not in love. We are just friends, right?"

"Certainly, friends and cousins."

"But we can make love."

"We did so."

"And will we do it again?"

"Certainly yes, as long as we both want."

"Tonight too?"

"Yes, also tonight."

"You told me you have more things to teach me..."

"Yes. But before everything you have to do me the same way I did you last night."

"Alright. I just hope to be able to do it properly..."

"We have still five nights to spend here by ourselves. I will teach you everything, don't worry, my dear Jakobus."

"Good, thank you!" the boy happily answered.

During the day, while they were exploring the surroundings, from time to time Jakobus went to the subject again and asked for more explanations from his obliging and expert cousin, and Johann made many doubts or curiosities clear to him. And evening came again. After the usual time in front of the fireplace, the two boys went to the bedroom, full of desire. And Jakobus, that night penetrated his cousin and found also that it was really very good.

After they both had reached their orgasm, Johann pointed out to his cousin, "Do you see, what is beautiful between two men, is that they can both do the same things. Each can penetrate and be penetrated. With women this is not possible. Only the man can penetrate and the woman can only be penetrated. Therefore the relationship with a woman is not really complete..."

"It's true; you are quite right! Oh, Johann, you can't imagine how grateful I'm feeling to you for having taught me so many things, and above all to make love. I will never forget it!"

The following night Johann taught Jakobus the complete oral sex, and so that the boy came to know and learned to appreciate the "man's liqueur".

On the night after, Jakobus also experienced the simultaneous oral union and liked it very much. Johann thought that his cousin was really a diligent and willing pupil, and also quite a good one.

On the fifth night, after they again made love, Jakobus said to Johann, "Do you know, I have noticed something. Now that I know how good making love between males is, I now look at each man I see with different eyes. And I ask myself if I would like making love with him or not, and at times the answer is yes, and then often I also get an erection... But, I am asking myself, how can I know if the person I like prefers a woman or a man? And even if he preferred a man, how can I understand if I could appeal to him or not?"

Johann smiled and got ready to explain some more ideas. At this point, when they were safely alone and not to be overheard, they talked almost only about sex and love. Jakobus was eager to know, to understand. But he was also eager to make love with his cousin.

The last day they could still spend alone, Johann, after they ate the usual rich breakfast, said, "Let's prepare a packed lunch. Today I want to take you again up there to the pool."

"To see the deer again?"

"Perhaps, but also for another purpose."

"What?" The boy asked, thrilled.

"Let's go. Up there I will tell you." The cousin answered with a mysterious smile.

They walked up. When they were near the pool, Johann carefully chose a spot and spread the blanket he had brought with him, on the ground between ferns and sweet grass.

"Good, we will now get naked and make love here, under the sun, among nature. It is one of the most wonderful things that can be done."

"Oh, Johann, what a splendid idea!" the boy exclaimed and, embracing him, kissed him on the mouth making him feel all the intensity of his desire.

They hurriedly became naked and laid down, on the blanket.

"Will you first take me?" Jakobus asked, impatient to begin.

"Yes, my beautiful, little male. But first let's arouse each other for a while with our hands and mouths, caressing and kissing... I will then take you and afterwards you take me."

"A wonderful programme..." Jakobus exclaimed, filled with burning desire and joy.

They made love until lunch time. Then, without getting dressed again, they ate their meal in a joyous intimacy. Afterwards they laid under the sun, half embraced, to talk. Around mid-afternoon Jakobus told his cousin he was again feeling the desire to make love and Johann was ready to comply. They again took each other with fiery passion and undiminished pleasure.

When, satisfied, they dressed again and returned downhill to the Retreat, they found Johann's father and brother waiting for them as they expected,.

"Oh, here come the two lovers of nature! Did you have fun, dear boys?"

"Oh, yes, uncle, so very much!" Jakobus exclaimed, sincere and happy.

"Very well. Waiting for you we have fixed supper. I bet you are feeling hungry like cubs!"

"Certainly, papa." Johann answered, merrily.

"I see that you two have bonded really well." The man exclaimed, looking pleased at the two boys.
