Denny did meet Corky's brother - long on brawn and short on brains, as he had feared. He was also buttonholed by a jubilant Kevin Riley, Colin's dad. Finally, he encountered one Pat Mahan, who simply grinned, put a big hand around the back of his neck, and touched foreheads. (Continuing Our Story - the Pits of Hell) "Well, Denny, enough of this country club life. Summer camp indeed!" joked Pat. "Be forewarned that within 24 to 36 hours, you'll be going down into one of the deepest coal mines in the country. It's West Virginia for you, laddie!" "Ok, boss, but that means you've got to send me off filled with confidence and hope," Denny snickered. With that, he stood up from the couch, dropped his cargo shorts, came over to Pat's chair, and lay down chest-to-chest on top of his mentor. "Are you sure it's confidence and hope you're after, Coach?" Pat asked, grinning like a Chessie cat. "Any port in a storm," the boy sighed, locking onto his lover's lips. Some time later, it was a deeply satisfied young man whom the good doctor wrapped in his arms, kissed good night, and drew close to his body. "I love you like crazy," the good doctor whispered. "Me, too, Doc," responded Denny. As the gray fog closed over the valley, the Company SUV drew closer to the mine entrance. Moisture was dripping from everything in sight, including the handful of dispirited miners who stood around waiting for the beginning of the shift. Soon they would enter the cage and descend hundreds of feet to the coal seam below. Two Company officials had joined Denny, plus a federal inspector from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) of the U.S. Department of Labor. Pat Johnson, a coal company official, had been talking up a storm since they picked the young man up at the airport. "You have some good friends in Washington, Mr. Lawrence," Johnson exclaimed. "If we can help you to prepare for a career in mining, we'll be happy to do so." "Yes," Mr. Harley, the MSHA inspector, added, "in the public or the private service... I can't say the Government pays as well as a private company, but they both have important functions to perform - and we are always on the outlook for bright young men and women. By the way, you will give my greetings to Dr. Mahan? I attended one of his seminars in Washington, and found his analysis of problems faced by young men entering Government service to be riveting." "Absolutely, sir," Denny responded. "It will be my pleasure. Actually, he was the one who fired my interest in mine safety, especially as affected by the Sago disaster." "Let's hope that you don't get to see anything like that!" Johnson protested. "There have been a lot of changes around here since Sago lost those twelve men in early '06. Now... While the shifts change, we'll stop by the office, have a cup of coffee, see a computer schematic of the mine, and then go down ourselves." As the white SUV approached the mine office, a company official stood outside on the porch awaiting them. As everyone got out of the vehicle, pulled their coats around them in the cold drizzle, and headed for the door, he spoke vigorously with Pat Johnson. In turn, Johnson came over to Denny as he stood enjoying a hot cup of coffee in the anteroom of that which turned out to be the control room of the mine. (In a contemporary mine, all facilities are closely monitored electronically: water levels, air ventilation, methane levels, and various mining, transportation, and storage areas.) "Mr. Lawrence, if I may speak privately with you for a moment," Johnson said quietly. "Something rather special has happened. With your permission, your inspection of this facility will be delayed for a short time. We have had several messages from the home office of our parent company, Fargo Mining, in New York City. Both the CEO [Chief Executive Officer] and the CFO [Chief Financial Officer] have indicated a desire to meet you. I should say that this represents a significant courtesy both to you and your mentor, Dr. Mahan. Fargo is the largest mining conglomerate in the country. The status of its officers and their location could give you an unparalleled opportunity to see another face of contemporary mining. If you accept their invitation, we shall take you down to Manhattan within the hour. Naturally, we would hope to resume this inspection on your return." Denny's prompt acceptance of the invitation touched off a whirlwind of activity. (Valleys of Concrete and Steel) The small executive jet nearly glided over the mountains and into Greater New York City without incident. At the airport, Denny was met by a uniformed Company employee and taken by Mercedes limousine to the Fargo Building on Madison Avenue. In truth, the seventeen year-old head was spinning as he was zipped up to the executive offices, greeted by an elegantly dressed secretary, and shown into the CEO's suite after waiting but four minutes! "Mr. Lawrence, welcome!" boomed an impressive, silver-haired older man as he stepped from behind his desk, his hand outstretched. "So you're the young man whom both Pat Mahan and my CFO can't stop praising! I'm Oliver Culver. May I call you Denny'?" "Of course, sir," the youngster murmured, realizing that it was a courtesy that couldn't be returned. Guided over to a grouping of comfortable chairs in front of a cheery fire in the fireplace, Denny accepted a cup of coffee from a white-coated waiter. Small china plates, silverware, linen napkins, and a selection of finger pastries were on a small table at his side. "There's someone else who has been waiting to meet you, Denny. Let me buzz him." Almost immediately, another elegantly dressed executive joined them, a very light blond, somewhat on the slight side, probably in his very late 30s or early 40s. Denny was almost sure he had seen him...somewhere. "Denny," Culver continued, "I would like you to meet William Walker, Sr., my Chief Financial Officer." Everything immediately fell into place for Denny. This man had to be the father of Billy Walker, the boy who had scored the goal against the Bruins on Camp Day! "You already know who I am!" Walker chortled. "Sorry I couldn't get up to the lake on Camp Day, but this meeting - and our having met your mentor in Washington - may tell you how sorry I...we are." For a good three-quarters of an hour, the two executives and the teen talked informally...and most pleasantly. As Pat Johnson, the Company officer up at the mine had surmised, he had indeed fallen into an exciting opportunity. After lunch, Denny was shown a great deal of the Fargo operation - and learned much about coal mining in the United States. The Walkers hosted a delightful light supper at their apartment on Park Avenue. Needless to say, Billy (who was home from his boarding school for the occasion) was out of his mind with excitement - and very pleased that his father was assisting "Coach." When supper was over, Mr. Walker took the two teens to a night baseball game in Yankee Stadium after which Denny was returned to Manhattan where he was to spend the night at the apartment of Oliver Culver. The CEO's apartment was located in the penthouse of a building that faced Central Park. One entire wall of the richly decorated living room, the wall facing the Park, was glassed. Denny and Oliver Culver sat facing each other, the older man sipping a Scotch; the younger, his second beer of the evening. (He had already had one beer at the ballpark.) "I'm so very grateful, sir," Denny was saying. "It's been a super day!" "Wonderful, Denny, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I rather think you earned it. Are you, by the way, on a tight schedule?" "No, sir," the teen responded, "though I do hope to go down in the mine when we are through." "That will be no problem," Culver said, admiring his Scotch against the light, "but let me add one more opportunity to your cache. At last week's opening of Peter Willingsly's new show, I learned that he's still seeking a model for an important new project. Frankly, I consider Peter to be one of the nation's most promising young artists. Were you interested, I should be happy to introduce you." The upshot of all this was that Culver escorted Denny to Willingsly's studio the next morning. After the distinguished executive had been welcomed as the important patron of the arts that he was and Denny had been introduced, they sat down together for a short conversation. Peter graciously explained that he had recently received a significant new commission, but, as yet, he hadn't found the right model for it. "Sometimes you have to have the right model or there's no use beginning," he said pleasantly, if a bit sadly. "This model must be young - which is no problem - but he must also be an athlete and have a certain presence about him. That combination can create a problem. I admire Mr. Culver's eye. Obviously, he thinks that I ought to consider you - and I agree. If you are the right man, by the way, there is a generous model's fee that goes with this job. Interested in finding out?" When Denny grinned and indicated that he was most interested, Peter told him to go into the next room, completely disrobe, put on one of the robes that he would find on a hook, and return to stand on the dais in his studio. As the boy turned to follow his instructions, Culver rose to leave. "There is no problem in your remaining, sir," Peter said immediately, "unless the lad has one. Denny?" "No, sir, I have no problem," an excited young man almost babbled. Peter turned a spotlight on the small dais and then rejoined Culver. Within a short time, Denny reappeared, stepped up on the dais, slowly allowed the robe to slip from his shoulders and then from the rest of his body. Both observers gasped. The youthful face with its thick crown of curly dark blond hair, the penetrating emerald green eyes, the nearly smooth, magnificently muscled torso set off by heavy arms, the derriere that belonged on a Greek athlete of classical times - an ass that simply flowed into long, muscled thighs and powerful calves - the perfect genitals that complemented his body with their large, heavy nuts hanging low in their soft sack between his legs, the tanned, luminous skin that seemed barely to stretch over his muscles. Had he been made of marble or bronze, he would have been found in no lesser home than the Metropolitan Museum of Art itself! The artist had dreamed of this model since first he began thinking of the project. "Thank you, sir," he whispered to Culver as he wiped a tear from his eye. "Denny, if you're interested," he continued, "this is a private commission that carries a five thousand dollar model's fee with completion bonuses!" Turning back to a smiling Oliver Culver, he said, "Take care of this treasure, sir, and return him to me tomorrow. He doesn't need much polishing to have him ready for work." Placing his hand on Denny's muscled back, he said with a wide smile, "Do your very best to follow Mr. Culver's instructions tonight, lad. He knows exactly how to prepare you for tomorrow." Later that evening, Denny lay naked on a padded table in Culver's apartment. "Very well, my young friend, I suggest that you need do nothing beyond removing a few stray hairs on your torso, thighs, and groin, as well as making sure that no hair is touching your genitals. Afterwards, I would rub you down with a fine oil that will begin to maximize your skin tone. If that is satisfactory, I shall take care of it." "That's fine, sir," Denny responded. "Please go ahead." After Denny had enjoyed a glass of cold soda, the executive quickly removed the small amount of hair that he had mentioned. When finished, he directed the teen to take as hot a bath as he could stand and call him when finished. When Denny called, he came back to the bathroom, helped him from the large tub, and carefully dried his glorious body, using both a heated towel and his hands. The hot bath and Culver's massaging hands completely finished Denny off, physically and emotionally. He felt weak and dizzy; he swayed and would have fallen twice had the man not caught him and held him in his arms. "Before proceeding with the oil massage, Denny, I think you had better come out into the living room and rest for a few minutes. Then we'll go ahead." "Yes, sir, good idea," he boy answered weakly. Sitting down on the sofa, Culver helped the youngster to stretch out on his back, his torso in the man's lap, his lower body on the sofa. With soft music in the background, he slowly stroked Denny's hair, his face, neck, his arms from shoulder to fingers, and his pecs, fingering his nipples before moving on to his abs and his lower stomach. Though he still felt weak and dizzy, the boy sensed his growing arousal. "You are absolutely beautiful, you know," the older man murmured. About to try to say something, Denny slowly realized that one of Culver's hands had lifted his long, swelling cock while the other cupped his massive balls. It wasn't right, but he was so tired and it felt so good. Gradually, he felt himself letting go, completely relaxing as the light from the lamp on the table beside the couch faded and then disappeared from his vision. Sometime during the night Denny awakened to find himself tucked warmly into his bed. A small lamp, little more than a nightlight, illuminated his immediate surroundings. Feeling completely relaxed, completely at peace, he quickly fell back asleep and did not stir until Culver pounded on his door and said that breakfast would be ready in fifteen minutes and that his bathrobe would be sufficient. Jumping out of bed and staggering into the adjoining bathroom, he peed a gallon, splashed cold water into his face, brushed his teeth, and combed his hair. Suddenly, he snapped into full consciousness. Dear God! He felt g-r-e-a-t! Yes, he was rested, but there was more. Every sense was working at optimal acuteness. Had he been a predator, he could have caught anything in the forest. Had he been at home, he would have stolen into the kitchen in the nude and tried to surprise Pat. Yikes! He WAS in the nude. Hearing Culver's voice calling him again to breakfast, he quickly scanned the bedroom for his briefs. Not seeing them, he simply wrapped himself in the bathrobe that was draped over a chair and padded towards the kitchen. "Denny! Good morning! Glad to see you among the living!" greeted his ebullient host. "I guess I kinda zonked out last night, didn't I? Sorry," offered a rather shamefaced youngster. "Not at all, Denny!" the man responded. "Not at all! You were exhausted from all the excitement of recent days. Additionally, some of it was my fault." "Your fault, sir?" inquired the boy. "Yes, Denny. Following Peter's instructions, I gave you a mild sedative during the evening. Given your responsibilities and the great rewards that are possible for both of you, it was necessary to relax and get a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, I obviously gave you a drop more than your system needed. I'm the one who needs to apologize." The teen quickly responded, for he believed that the mystery had been solved, though he still wondered why he felt quite so good. "As you said, sir, not at all! No damage done. In fact I feel great! If anything, I feel a little on edge...a bit too much adrenalin, you know?" Culver came over in back of Denny's chair, peeled the bathrobe back from his heavy shoulders, and massaged the lad's delts and traps for a minute or two. He even allowed his fingers to drift down onto the boy's solid pecs before he lightly boxed an ear and said affectionately, "That's it! Eat!" Denny caught one hand before it was withdrawn completely and held it against his cheek. "Thank you, sir," he whispered. Once he was ready to go, Peter Willingsly didn't hesitate...for a moment. Authoritatively, he arranged two simple props, guided the naked lad into the desired pose, and quickly snapped a digital photo. Laughing delightedly, he showed the monitor to both Culver and his model. Both caught their breath, for the photo was so sensual that each man felt his cock lurch in sharp response. Immediately after Culver had left for his office, Peter began painting. There was no wasted movement in his work. This canvas had been in his mind's eye for some time. He knew exactly how to proceed. Every so often he would give Denny a short break, joking with him and allowing a small amount of water when requested. At one point in the early afternoon, Denny developed a charley horse in his thigh. Stopping immediately, Peter had the boy lie down on the floor and then began firmly rubbing the quadriceps from top to bottom. When that didn't completely do the trick, he had the young athlete stand on his "good leg" and grasp the ankle of the leg that had the cramp from behind. He directed him slowly to pull the ankle of the injured leg towards his buttocks and hold it for 10 or 15 seconds. "I'll remember that remedy for lacrosse," Denny laughed, resuming his position on the dais. On that evening - and the two that followed - Denny allowed Oliver Culver to cleanse his body and rub a fine oil into the skin until its glory was fully restored. On the final night - the night that preceded his return to the mine and thence home - he grasped the elder man's hand, pulled it against him, and guided its touching him intimately. "Are you sure, Denny?" his host had gasped. The boy quietly smiled, nodded, and watched while Culver removed his clothing, folded it, and placed it on a nearby chair. The silver- haired executive, in surprisingly good physical shape, lay down beside the youth. Reaching up to kiss him, he felt the boy's arms wrap themselves around his torso and pull their bodies together. With consummate skill...and great affection...he accepted the youngster's rich gift. Two weeks later, at home, Denny opened an envelope from the Willingsly Gallery, read a note of thanks from Peter, and unfolded a seven thousand five hundred dollar check! "Our patron felt that it was the best piece of work I have ever done - and I tend to agree," he wrote. "As you can see, he was very generous. Thank you, and much love, Peter. P.S. Oliver sends his love, too, and joins me in hoping that we shall see you again ere long." To Be Continued
