Stormchild Chapter 1 The boy who came in from the cold It was a dark and stormy night. Yeah, yeah, it's so cliche, but I've always wanted to start a story with that. It was night, which happens regularly, at least where I live. And it usually is dark at night. A southerly storm had blown through, so it was raining and there was a bitterly cold wind. The temperature had fallen below 10 degrees (cee, that is). I was driving home when I saw a hitchhiker on the side of the road. Was the figure large, looming and menacing? Well no, it was rather small and pathetic. As I drove past I realised it was just a young child who didn't even have a jacket on and must have been soaked to the skin. I stopped the car and opened the passenger door. The figure ran up and got inside. I saw that my passenger was a young boy and, yes, he was soaked, from hair plastered to his head, through soaked T-shirt clinging to his torso, to sodden blue jeans and sneakers. The boy shivered and wrapped his arms around himself in a futile effort to keep warm. "Where do you want to go?" "W...W...W...Woodton." His teeth chattered so much with cold he could hardly get the word out and he had a bluish tinge to lips and face. Woodton was a half hour drive away and I was concerned that the boy was starting to suffer from hypothermia. "I will take you there, of course, but you look so cold I think it could be dangerous and you have to get warm as soon as possible. I live just around the corner and I think we should get some dry warm clothes for you. Is that OK?" He just nodded his head and tried to hug himself even tighter. So I turned the heater up full and drove the short distance home. By the time we got to my house, I was sweltering from the heat, but my passenger looked no better. We went inside and the boy stood in the middle of the room, shivering, looking like a half drowned puppy, with a puddle of water accumulating on the carpet around his feet. "you really should get warm as quickly as possible," I told him. "The best way to do that is to have a hot shower while I get you some dry clothes." 'Aha,' you say, 'I know where this is leading. It is standard scenario number 4.' I led the boy to the bathroom, where I turned on the heater and water and gave him a fresh towel. Then I left him while I found some of my old clothes that were hopefully not too large. After returning with a bundle of clothes in my arms, I hesitated outside the bathroom door. Should I have respected his privacy and left the clothes outside the door? But then he might not have realised they were out there. This was the only reason, honest, that I knocked on the door and slipped them inside. I daresay I should not have looked at the boy, but I could not stop myself from glancing towards him in the shower. However, he was modestly turned away from me, and all I could see was his back, hazed and obscured by the condensation on the glass door of the shower cabinet. An indistinct view of his rounded buttocks was all I was going to get. 'So this is the stage,' you think, 'where he turns towards you with a huge erection, or asks you to wash his back, or you simply leap into the shower and ravage him with your own enormous prong.' Ha! I wish. None of those things happened, although my wee willie was starting to think prong thoughts. Instead, I left the boy to shower in peace. He was in the shower for so long that I was beginning to wonder if he had drowned, or simply dissolved and swirled down the drain. But after all, he had an awful lot of warming up to do. Eventually the boy came into the living room and stood, uncertainly, in the middle of the room, and for the first time I got a good look at him. He looked to be about five feet tall and perhaps around 13 years old. His thatch of tousled blond hair crowned his very cute, almost delicate, face. As for his body, there was no way of telling whether he was fat or skinny in my clothes. Although I was not a large man, my clothes were definitely too large on him. The jersey was baggy, with arms that hid his hands. The track pants hung loosely on him, although the elastic at the ankles stopped them from trailing beyond his feet. And those feet were hidden by woolly winter socks. In fact he reminded me of Charlie Chaplin's 'Tramp'. OK, the clothes were completely different, the boy didn't have a moustache, he was much younger and certainly much sexier. But even so, there was that lost and wistful look to him. "Do you feel better now?" I asked. "Um, yeah." The boy looked wary, no doubt at finding himself in a strange man's house and clothes. Little did he know how strange. "My name's Martin. What's yours?" "Eric." "It's nice to meet you Eric. Let's find a coat and some shoes for you to wear and get you on your journey." Once all that mechanical stuff was sorted out and I stuffed his wet clothes, which I had found left in a sodden mess on the bathroom floor in typical boy fashion, into a supermarket shopping bag, we were in the car and on our way to Woodton. We drove in silence, but I was intensely aware of Eric sitting beside me, gazing out into the rainy night. Was this brief time to be the extent of my encounter with this child of the storm. I had a pang of regret for all the possible futures that were unlikely to occur. Which was probably just a fancy way of saying that I fancied the boy something bad, and regretted not getting a look at his cock when I almost had the chance. Chapter 2 Home, bitter home Once in Woodton, Eric directed me to his home and we stopped outside. Even in the light of the street lamps I could see that the house was dilapidated. The paint was peeling off the weatherboards and the lawn badly needed mowing. The grass of my lawn was almost as long, but that was a deliberate policy of efficiency of effort and keeping the lawn in a healthy state. When other people don't mow their lawns, it's because they are lazy slobs. "Thanks for the ride. Um, you had better come inside so that I can give you your clothes back." "Yeah, sure." I was not at all sure that I wanted to face Eric's parents, as the meeting could be awkward. But, it had to be faced, so we went up the path and in the front door. The hall was dark, dingy and had a damp, rank smell. My nose wrinkled in protest. "Mum, I'm home," shouted Eric. "What? What are you doing here?" came the reply and Eric's mother appeared in the hall. She sounded cross and looked tired, worn and not very happy to see Eric. And then she saw me. "Oh, I didn't know there was anyone here." "I'm sorry to intrude, but I have just given Eric a ride from town." Eric's mother frowned as she looked at her son. "Eric, what do you think you were doing... Hey, what's with those clothes?" I hurried to explain the situation, though not, strange to say, that Eric took a shower in my house. His mother looked at me with increasing suspicion. This was not one of those mothers who, after five minutes conversation, pleads for you to bonk her young son because that is what he wants and needs. No, this was one of those mothers who knows you are a dirty old man and what you are up to; and lay one finger on her precious baby and you will be in prison with your balls stuffed down your throat. In spite of my wishes, that was the only sort of mother I had ever met. "Eric, go and get changed now, so we can give the man his clothes. I guess you had better come in and wait, Mr ... ah?" "Lynn, Martin Lynn," I replied, as I followed Mrs 'why don't you give me your own name then, dammit' into the livingroom. In the room were two little brown-haired boys in their pyjamas, sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Two pairs of eyes swivelled towards then, when they realised I was just a grown-up, dismissed me as unimportant and returned their attention to the program. 'Cute little muffins,' I thought, then decided the wisest thing was to focus solely on the mother. "I know it was a bit irregular, but Eric was suffering from hypothermia. It was important he got into warm dry clothes as soon as possible, or it could have been very dangerous." "Yes, well." This was one unconvinced mother. "What Eric thinks he was doing hitchhiking, when he should have been with his father is another matter. I suppose you had better sit down. What is it that you do, Mr ... ah?" "I'm a senior manager at the Bethle oil company." "Oh, a professional man, then. Where are my manners, would you like a cup of tea?" "No thanks, I'm fine, Mrs ... ah?" "Iris Jansen. Look, will you excuse me, there is something I need to finish doing." "Yes, certainly," I replied as settled in the chair strategically chosen so that I could easily watch the muffins on the sofa. The younger boy, the one with very short hair, looked to be about nine and he sat with crossed legs. The older, larger boy may have been about eleven. His straight hair swept across his brow and he sprawled on the sofa with his feet on the floor. 'If they only move a little,' I thought, 'I might be able to see up their shorts.' My heart began to pound at the thought, as I found looking up boys' shorts an incredible turn-on. One of my most vivid memories of junior school was one sports day when I was about 12, when I was standing across from a boy sitting cross-legged on the grass. With a little movement, I was in the right position to look up his baggy shorts to see his little prick. He wasn't wearing any undies, the grubby little sod. My memories were interrupted by the older boy on the sofa. "This show is such crap," he complained. "Change to the other channel." "Nah. I like it, it's fun." "Change the channel," and he gave his little brother a vicious punch on the arm. "Ow, stop it. That hurt." "Then change the channel, or I'll do it again." "No, don't wanna." "Gimme the remote," middle bro demanded and he lunged across the younger boy to grab the TV remote. "No, piss off," little bro protested as he held onto the remote and tried to fend off his brother. As the two boys struggled, legs flew in the air and I stared intently for views up their shorts. While I did get to see up both boys' pjyama shorts several times, it was not enough to see pricks or balls. But it was enough for my face to go red and my cock to start to stiffen. "Stop that at once, boys, or I will give you a good belting," Iris shouted as she burst into the room. I sat back guiltily and the boys subsided, as did my own little man. Eric walked into the room with my clothes in his arms and Iris switched her attention to her next target. "And what the hell are you doing here? You are meant to be staying at your father's this weekend." "He's gone to the pub with his girlfriend and left me alone, so I came home," Eric whined as he hugged the clothes protectively to his chest. "Well, I don't expect anything better of the bastard, but you could have stayed at his house and watched TV, or somethin'. And you know I don't like you hitchhiking." "I missed the bus, didn't I. And I got fuckin' pissed off because Dad promised to take me to see 'Lord of the Rings' but he went out with his girlfriend instead. So I came home." "Don't you bloody swear," Eric's mother shouted. "And it doesn't matter if you don't see some dumb movie; it's not important. Hitchhiking in the storm, when you could get your death of cold, or worse when you are picked up by who know who, that's what's important." "The movie is important," Eric shouted back, "and now I will never get to see 'Lord of the Rings'." Conflict is something I hate, so I had to interrupt, even though it is said you should never get between a mother and her cub. OK, I know that doesn't refer to when they are fighting, but stepping into the middle of a fight is always a hazardous thing to do. "Look, I don't want to interfere, but I would like to see 'Lord of the Rings' again. Why don't I take Eric tomorrow?" Eric swung towards me. His mood changed in an instant and his face shone in hope. "Really? Do you mean it?" "No, of course you can't," Iris said. "It's quite impossible." She tried to be firm, but with her anger so abruptly deflated while in full flight, her voice was instead weak and uncertain. "Hey, can we go too," middle and little bro's piped up. "No, you can't," replied their mother. "That would impose much too much on Mr .. ah, the gentleman." "Does that mean it's OK if I go, then?" Eric asked. "It would be no trouble," I assured Iris, "and it would mean he would be out of your hair, so you could get some peace and quiet. I'm sure he can be a real handful." Eric scowled at me at that, but kept a tactical silence. "Well,..." Iris hesitated, then "What time is the movie? Eric can't be too late home." "There's a show at 6 o'clock," Eric said. "You can't go then, as you would miss tea." "Oh, that's alright. I will collect Eric early and we can get takeaways at the food court before the movie starts." "Yeah! Can I go Mum? Please, please, please." She hesitated, before replying. "Well, that will give me give me a chance to wash your clothes and you can collect them tomorrow when you pick up Eric." And so it was settled. We organised the details, with one very excited big bro, wearing an enormous grin, and two little bro's, whining and complaining that it wasn't fair, in the background. As I drove home, I reflected on my encounter with Eric, with his fiery temper and stormy relationship with his family. He did appear to be a child of the storm. Chapter 3 Travels in Middle Earth The following day I collected clothes, washed and folded (a pity as I wouldn't have minded having a sniff of unwashed undies that had covered a boy package) and boy, dressed in grey T-shirt and grey nylon cargo pants with red trim, all bright eyed and bushy tailed. Well, Eric certainly was bright eyed, but I didn't know if his tail was bushy, although I suspected it was. Once again our drive was silent, although Eric did glance at me several times. At the food court I went for an Indian curry, after giving Eric some money to go to the Happy Hoppy Hamburger House. That wasn't its real name and it was, in fact, a well known international hamburger chain, but as they hadn't paid me for product placement, I am not going to place their product. "This is so great," Eric said, after he settled at our table with hamburger, chips and cola. "We hardly ever get to eat at Happy Hoppy's." Oh, dear. I was quite happy to contribute to the corruption of young boys, but feeding their addiction to junk food was not what I had in mind. I gazed at Eric as he devoured his hamburger, then he raised his head and looked at me with his bright blue eyes, kissable lips glistening with hamburger grease. 'Yuk', you think, but I wouldn't have minded cleaning them with my tongue. "What?" he asked when he caught me staring at him. "Nothing." Eric gave a small smile, as if pleased that he had my attention, and returned his attention to his meal. Once his hunger was satisfied, Eric chattered about school and home. I learnt he had just started his first year in high school; that his brothers' names were Grant (middle bro) and Harry and that they were both pains in the arse; and that his father had left the family three years ago. As Eric talked about his father and visiting him, I sensed that his father was more interested in a succession of girlfriends than his children. My heart went out to the poor lad who yearned for something his father was no longer, if ever, providing. Then it was time to go to the movies. "I need a piss," I announced and headed to the toilets. LOTR is a very long movie, after all. Eric followed and stood beside me at the urinal. Pissing together at a urinal is a very intimate activity. There you have two males, often strangers, standing side by side, with their hands on their (own) cocks which are sticking out of their pants. And then there is the need to avoid appearing interested in the other guy's cock, while often actually wanting to check out his equipment. Even the straight guys will do this. It's no wonder so many men have trouble relaxing and letting go. Having a sexy boy stand next to me didn't help either, but I managed to relax enough to start pissing. I risked a glance towards Eric's crotch, but all I could see was his protecting hand and stream of urine splashing against the back of the urinal. I gave a mental sigh and concentrated on the business at hand. Lord of the Rings was wonderful. I had seen it before, which meant that I could relax and let it wash over me, like visiting an old friend. I was also very aware of Eric beside me. He was very still and intent on what was happening on the screen. Afterwards, out in the foyer, I turned to Eric. "I guess I had better get you home now." His smile disappeared and his face started to crumple. "But I don't want to go home yet," he started to whine. "Well, we could have supper at my place, first." "Yeah, cool." And in an instant the smile was back and Eric was a happy boy again. Back at home, Eric sat beside me on the sofa and we drank hot chocolate as we happily discussed the movie. "Does Gandalf come back?" he wanted to know. And, "will Merry and Pippin be OK?" 'Aha,' you realise, 'it was 'The Fellowship of the Ring' we had just seen'. But at last it really was time to take Eric home. He stood in the middle of the room, looking rather forlorn. I hesitated, then reached out to place my hand on his shoulder. In an instant, he melted against me and wrapped his arms tightly around my waist. I hugged him in turn and kissed the top of his head. "I wish I didn't have to go." His voice was muffled as he spoke into my chest. "I know, I know. But perhaps we can do something else sometime. After all, the next LOTR movie will be out in 12 months time." "That's too long to wait," and he grinned up at me. Reluctantly we let each other go and, as we walked out to the car, Eric slipped his hand into mine. This was not the sort of thing that any self-respecting 13 year-old boy would be seen dead doing, as it was deeply uncool. It probably indicated his real need for affection. This was starting to create a major problem for me. On the one hand I would love to have sex with the boy. Oh why didn't I leap into the shower and ravage him when I had the chance? But on the other hand, I found myself increasingly wanting to protect and care for Eric. But then, I supposed that it didn't matter as I was most unlikely to be able to do either. Again, our drive to Woodton was silent, but this time it was warm and peaceful. It was amazing how much communication there was in our silences, which had been different for each drive. After a while, Eric rested his hand on my thigh and I patted it before returning my hand to the steering wheel. Hand on thigh? If it had been my hand on a boy's thigh, that would mean that it was about to slip up the leg of his shorts and he would then adjust his position to give me easy access to his dick. At least, in my fantasies it did. But there was an innocence in the reassurance in physical contact that Eric was seeking, as odd as it might seem to say that such a street-wise, and no doubt horny, teenager was innocent. Back at Mordor, I mean Eric's home, Eric grabbed my hand and dragged me inside; he was not ready to let me leave yet. Squabbling on the sofa were the two junior orcs in their pyjamas. Iris was also in the room, looking drained. "Hey, Lord of the Rings was wicked," Eric enthused and he started to describe all the cool details. His younger brothers listened avidly, while I moved slightly to try to get a look up their shorts legs. Grant noticed me looking and moved his leg to block my view, so I hurriedly looked away, blushing slightly at being caught at my perving. Grant and Harry complained about not getting to see LOTR, and that it was not fair that Eric got to do things, while they always missed out. Eric told them 'tough' and to 'get over it'. Iris told them to shut up, or she would send them all to bed. I thought it was already past the younger boys' bedtime, but this household obviously had different standards. It looked like turning into a normal evening at the Jansens, so before it could deteriorate further into a shouting match I interjected. "Look, why don't I take all the boys for a walk and picnic somewhere tomorrow." "Yeah, right on," cheered Grant and Harry. "Can we, Mum?" "Oh, no, you couldn't possibly. That would be imposing on you much too much," she replied. Eric frowned fiercely and shook his head, while he silently mouthed 'no'. I rather thought that he didn't like the idea of having to share me with his brothers. "It would give you a break away from the boys, which I am sure you need and deserve. Besides, I have now raised their expectations and it would be unfair to disappoint them now." "Please Mum, go on, let us" the younger boys pled, while Eric dumped himself on a chair, folded his arms and crossly started to watch TV. "Well,..." Iris hesitated. "It would be nice, but you don't know what you are letting yourself in for." "It's no trouble," I assured her, thinking that it was in fact very likely to be a great deal of trouble. We made the arrangements for the next day and I set off for home, wondering what I had let myself in for. Harry and Grant appeared to be two very troublesome boys, and I wasn't sure how I was going to cope on the walk. From his stormy expression and sullen refusal to say to say goodbye to me, Eric was not happy at having his brothers along. I hoped it did not spoil our developing friendship.
