Adult gay content. A Short Story Chapter 1. I looked at the young man stretched out on the long leather couch. He was on his side, the smooth blemish free body relaxed. I could see that he had his eyes closed and watched his chest rise and fall with slow even breathes. He wasn't asleep. Noah never went to sleep until I did. I knew all I had to do was say his name and he'd be on his knees in front of me ready to do anything I asked. Noah called me Master, but Noah was not my slave even if he considered himself one. Noah meant a lot more to me than just as Master slave. It hadn't always been that way?? It had been three years ago that I first laid eyes on Noah. It was late June and it had rained for three days straight. When the sun came out that fourth day I needed to get out into the fresh air. The yard was too wet to work on so I decided I'd go for a long walk in the bright sun. I didn't really pick some place to walk. Just left my house, walked to the corner and started walking. The sidewalks were dry, but everything had a fresh clean smell. Summer storms did that and made me feel good. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going or what was going on around me. My mind was on my latest project. I was what people called a Professional Model Builder. I built all types of models under contract. Mostly architectural models, but also models of ships or aircraft for people. Right now I was building a high rise office tower and it was becoming a real headache. Walking I automatically stopped at intersections and checked ahead for people. Looking up I saw a young man coming toward me loaded down with bags. It looked like he had everything he owned in those four bags. A big back pack on one shoulder, a big kitbag on the other. A suitcase in one hand and a large plastic bag in the other. He'd pick everything up and walk ahead 20 feet or so, stop and rest and then move again. I decided I could give him a hand. When he got close I walked up to him. "Can I give you a hand with those Son?" "No. I'm okay Sir." "Bull shit." I took the heavy kitbag and picked up the suit case. "Better?" I asked. "Yes Sir." He smiled. At that moment my Gaydar clicked in. I knew immediately this young man was Gay. It didn't really matter. I placed him about 13 or 14. That meant he was hands off as far as the law was concerned. Whether he knew it or not just didn't matter. "So moving out?" I chuckled. "Just my shit from school. Last day today and had to clean out all my stuff. Didn't know I had so much." "So do we have far to go?" "About 3 long blocks Sir." "How about you call me John. What's your name?" "Noah. My names Noah." "Glad to meet you Noah." He smiled. "So what grade did you just finish Noah?" "Nine. I had to take it over. I flunked last year." Crap. This young man was far older than I thought. At least 15 or even 16. We talked of everything but his home. I noticed he got more and more worried as we got closer to his home. "Is there a problem Noah?" "I just hope my Mom's home. She promised she'd be there." "I'm sure she will be Noah." The temperature was well into the eighties and we were both sweating. "You want some lemonade? I made some before school today. If my Mom's home you can meet her too." "Some ice cold lemonade sounds real good Noah. Thank you." That got a smile from him and I saw he was drop dead gorgeous. My heart thumped and I felt a tingling in my groin. Oh how I wish. We walked up the back lane. The house he stopped at was an old brownstone, but looked like it was in perfect condition. A deep blue BMW sat by the Garage door. "Looks like she's home." "Yeah." We went in the back gate and into a well landscaped back yard. "Just set them bags there John. I'll get the lemonade." "MOM. I'M HOME." He yelled as he went in the door. "You don't need to yell Noah. I'm right here." A fairly young women walked out from the trees next to the house. "Mom, this is John. He helped me with my stuff and I promised him a glass of iced lemonade." "Well I guess you better get it then." She then turned to me. I could very well imagine what she was thinking right at that moment. All of it not good. She stuck out her hand. "I'm Sarah. Thank you very much for helping Noah. If I could have got off I'd have picked him up. Come on John sit down." We sat and talked. The only reference she made to me helping Noah was about how I came to it. Then we talked about her job and mine. If she was suspicious of my possible motives she made no mention. Several minutes later Noah came out with a big pitcher of Lemonade and three glasses. It was obvious he stopped to shower and change. It made him look even better. "Sorry, but I took a cold shower. I was so hot." He said. "Well if I had just stepped into my house, I'd have jumped in the shower too." For more reasons than just being hot. After talking for a while she showed me over her home. Noah walked pretty close to me the whole time. At the end of the tour she asked Noah what he wanted for dinner. "You have been so gracious, why not come to my home for Dinner. I'll cook steaks on the grill. I'd love to have you both." Noah's eyes lit up like search lights. "Can we Mom?" "You sure it wouldn't be any trouble. I'll admit I'd have to do some shopping for our dinner." "No problem what's so ever. It's the Heritage home on the corner of 16th and 23rd." "That very nice house is yours. Wow I have always wondered who owned it." "Shall we say 6." "We'll be there. Thank you John." Two things were on my mind as I walked home. Either she was very naive or she was giving me enough rope to hang myself. Either way I was going to be very careful around Noah. I quickly made a garden salad and put it in the fridge. Pulled out three potatoes to bake and three ears of corn. I'd light the grill about 5 and put the spuds in to cook. I'd wait for them to put the steaks on. I got a bottle of red wine from the cellar and made sure I had lemonade in the fridge for Noah if he didn't want wine. Everything was ready shortly. The grass was still too wet to mow. It would wait until tomorrow. I grabbed a cold beer and went back to my project. Sarah and Noah arrived dead on 6 pm. After showing them the inside of the house and explaining about what was in the basement went out on my deck. Checked how they liked their steaks and put them on. Sarah had a glass of wine and Noah some lemonade. Dinner turned out perfect and after firing all the dishes into the dishwasher we went back on the deck to talk. If I thought Sarah was naive, I was very much mistaken. Right off she said she knew Noah was Gay and also believed I was too. She also said she had a pretty good idea what two unrelated Gay males did together, but she had no problems with it as long as it was mutual. She explained that in order for her to advance up the ladder at her company, she needed upgrading courses that she couldn't take here. She'd have to go to Georgetown in Washington DC. Then she dropped the other shoe. Would I consider becoming Noah's legal guardian while she was away? I almost said yes right off the bat. "What do you think about this Noah?" I asked. "Guess it would be okay." "I think it is something we need to talk about Noah." "Okay." "Very well. Noah if you don't come home tonight I'll understand. Thank you John for considering it. I'll arrange to have a lawyer draw up the papers just in case you decide you will." Noah hugged his Mom and I shook her hand at the door. We watched her drive away. I took Noah into the living room and sat down beside him on the couch. "Noah I know you are interested in going ahead with this arrangement, but I'm not sure if you know exactly what's going to happen." "I almost said yes, but needed to explain to you what I expect from you." "Okay John." "Are you a virgin Noah?" "No John. A couple guys at school have done me. I did them too, but like it better when they did me." "That means you are versatile, but prefer to bottom. I'm versatile too, but prefer to top. That means you are going to get fucked by me lots and once in a while you can fuck me." "Okay John." "Noah, how long have you known you were Gay?" "Well I guess since I was 13. My Mom used to hire baby sitters for me. One of the young guys she hired used to jack me a few times. He sucked my dick once and asked me after if I would suck him. I liked it. I think Mom must have found out coz she got a girl sitter after that." "When did you tell your Mom?" "I didn't tell her. She just sort of knew. Like she said after you left today that she knew you were Gay. I was scared she was going to do something about you. Then she asked if I wanted to live with you. She explained about being away for a year and that if she didn't find a guardian, I'd have to go with her. I decided I didn't want to go with her so said I'd live with you." "A couple she knew from work had agreed to take me if I decided I didn't want to be with you." "She said I was old enough to make my own decision and what ever I decided would be okay with her. So here I am John." "Okay Noah. You notice how clean and tidy my home is. I like to keep it that way all the time. I'm not sure how you were brought up, but you will keep things tidy too." "You noticed there is only one bedroom. That means you will be sleeping with me as well." That brought a big smile from Noah. "Okay. First lesson. Undress Noah." He hesitated a moment and then just stripped. Dropping his clothes in a pile on the floor. I noticed he had a about 5 inch cock hard. Covered in fairly thick dark blonde pubes. "That doesn't look very neat and tidy Noah. Get dressed." "Huh." "Get dressed again. I'll be right back." I went to my bedroom and dug out my strap. I loved to get whipped before I got fucked and a few of the guys I used to have come over loved to do it to me. Now it very seldom happened. Maybe with Noah here he could do it. For now it would be used for discipline. Noah looked very nervous as I walked back out. His eyes got real big when he saw the belt. "Noah when I say I like things neat and tidy, I mean your clothes too. This time when you undress I want you to fold and place your clothes neatly on the edge of the couch. If it is not good enough I'm going to give you a few slaps with this belt on your white bottom. Then we'll do it again until you get it right." "Now undress." Well it wasn't much neater than when he just dropped them. "You think those will be wrinkle free in the morning Noah?" "I guess not." He said quietly. I pulled him over to me and pulled him over my lap. I gave him two hard swats with the belt. He yelped on the second. He stood up rubbing his butt. "Do it again Noah." This time was better, but not nearly good enough. I gave him five hard swats with the belt. This time he got up crying and shaking all over. "One more time Noah." His hands shook so much he had trouble getting dressed and then undressed. It was the best he had done so I decided to leave it at that. "Not bad Noah, but I'm sure you will improve. I'm going to show you what I expect." I got up and handed him the belt. He got a far away look in his eyes. "I bet you would just love to use that on my bare bottom." I said. His whole face changed instantly. "Oh no John. That wasn't what I was thinking." It looked like he might cry. I lifted his chin and looked into his eyes. "Noah. One of these days in the future I'm going to want you to fuck me. Before you do I will also want you to whip my ass with that belt. I like it whipped before I get fucked." "Really!" He had been soft, but got instantly hard. Nice five inch cock. I sat him down on the couch as I stripped in front of him. I folded neatly my t-shirt and shorts. Slipped off my bikini underwear and folded them on top. Connected the socks together last. When I looked Noah was staring at my cock. "What's that ring on the end of your cock John and how come you got a ring around the bottom?" "The ring on the end of my cock is called a Prince Albert and ring on the base keeps me from cumming." "Why wouldn't you want to cumm? It always feels good to me." "Noah, if I hadn't had that ring on I might very well have cumm in my pants while your mother was here. What do you think she would have thought about that?" That got a big laugh. "You sure are big John. I don't think I can suck all of you." "In time Noah you will be swallowing all of my cock, just like taking it all up your butt. All it takes is practice and you will be getting lots of practice." He never said a word. I sat down beside him on the couch. This close, he had that nice boy smell that turned me on big time. I'd have loved to just flip him onto his knees and rim that sweet ass before I fucked his brains out. That might just scare him off so decided to wait. "Noah, while I'm home working either in the house or outside I only wear shorts. While you are here at the house you will be nude all the time. Anytime I need my cock sucked you will do it either in here or outside. You don't need to worry about someone seeing you. That is why I have that 12 foot privacy fence. I nude sun bathe all the time." "Now get on your knees between my legs and suck my cock." Noah had without a doubt sucked cocks before. I very much doubt he had had one with a ring in the end. He had trouble at first getting that ring in past his teeth. Then he gagged as soon as it entered his throat. He contented himself to sucking the first three inches while he jacked my cock. "Do you want me to cumm in your mouth Noah?" He backed off. "I was told it's not a blow job unless you do." "Correct. Reach down and push the little knob on the top of the cock ring. Push it hard." He did and the cock ring opened. He slipped it off. Without thinking he went back to sucking. Considering I had been horny since I almost met Noah, I knew it wouldn't take long to get me off. As I got close I applied a little pressure to the top of his head. As I started to come I pushed his head down on my cock. "Swallow Noah. Just swallow." Well he tried and I watched as my cock was pulled into his throat. He started to try and pull back. "Swallow it boy. Just keep swallowing." I knew he pretty much had all my cock in his throat weather he wanted it or not. A big gag brought some of my cumm out his nose. His eyes darted around as he tried to pull off my cock. I just held him in place. As his face started to turn red I released him. He backed off quick and gulped air into his lungs. "See Noah. You took most of my cock into your throat. With practice you will do it all, all the time. Now lick my cock clean." He didn't look too happy, but gently licked my cock clean. "Now sit up here beside me." As soon as he sat down, I pushed him flat and took his cock into my mouth. He lasted about 15 seconds before three shots of sweet boy cumm shot into my mouth. Damn he tasted good. It would definitely happen again. He just lay like a wet rag for a while. I finally pulled him up and wrapped my arm around him. "You still want to move in with me Noah?" He snuggled in real close. "Yeah. Even more now John." "Well there are a couple things we can do tonight. Tomorrow morning I'll take you for a hair cut. It will be cut the way I want it. However we can shave you tonight." He smiled at that. After shaving his ass and balls and trimming the hair around his cock he said it looked real good. "You'll keep it that way Noah. If I ever feel bristles, you'll get a tanned butt." "Once you move in here permanently, you'll wear this all the time too." I put a leather dog collar around his neck. "How come I got to wear a dog collar?" "Because Noah, all slaves wear collars. You are going to be my slave. You will keep the house clean and tidy. When I'm horny you will suck me off or I might fuck you instead. You screw up or don't do as I tell you, I'll tan your butt with that belt. Those slaps tonight were love taps compared to what you will get from now on." "Do you really want to move in with me knowing exactly what you will be for me Noah?" He looked at me for a minute and then got on his knees in front of me. "Yes Master. I want to be your slave." "I'm very glad Noah. Now stand up and get me some shorts from the top drawer." I took him and showed him the rest of the house he hadn't seen. I told him I'd teach him to build models the same way I did. Then he could help me with my Job. Last I took him down stairs to the basement. "Wow Master! That layout is real nice." "Later I'll show you how everything works." Then he noticed the cell behind the stairs. "What are those for Master?" "The man who built this house back in 1890, was the Sheriff. He used to bring prisoners home with him if there was only one in cells in town. He'd keep them in the cell. If you ever really screw up I'll stick you in it." WE went up stairs and I told Noah to get me a beer. I told him he could have one if he wanted. He opted for lemonade. We sat on the deck and watched the sun go down. Noah was yawning a lot so I figured an early night. Locked every thing up and went to bed. We just cuddled together that first night. I could have had him suck me off, but left it until he was here permanently. He helped me in the shower in the morning and even got off when I washed his cock and balls. Later I would fit him with a cock ring so he only got off when I wanted him to. After breakfast, I told him I had a few things to take care of and left him sitting at the kitchen table. I'd find out if what I told him last night had sunk in. I went to my work room and cleaned off a table he could work at. Then pulled a 1/48 scale model kit of an F-14 Tomcat a customer of mine wanted. He could build it as I taught him. About thirty minutes later Noah put his head in the door. "Would you like some more coffee Master?" "Yes. Thank you Noah." He brought in the pot and carefully poured me a fresh cup. He giggled when I patted him on his bare butt. "I'll be done in ten minutes. Get dressed Noah and we'll get your hair cut." "Yes Master." About ten minutes later I walked out of my workroom. Noah was sitting on the couch. He jumped up when I walked in. I took my cup to the kitchen and set it on the counter and looked around. The kitchen was spotless. "Noah, come here and I'll show you how to start the dishwasher." Before we left the house I removed the collar and left it on the counter. I took my old army jeep. Noah was real impressed with it. He loved how we drove with no doors or anything but the lap belt to hold him in. First stop my Barber. He gave Noah a short haircut, almost a brush cut. Then went grocery shopping. I told Noah to add anything he liked to eat. I spent almost double what I usually spent on groceries. I drove home and Noah helped unload everything. He also got shown where everything was put away. I had told Noah not to bother undressing because we would be going out again. He did it anyway. After getting everything put away I took him into the living room. "Noah I told you not to undress. You did it anyway. You disobeyed me and that will cost. However because I am taking you home I'll wait until you are here permanently. Don't you ever disobey me again boy." "I'm sorry Master. I guess I didn't hear you." "Now get dressed." WE drove to his home and met his Mother. We sat on the patio and drank lemonade. She explained that there was nothing her lawyers could do until Monday. The papers would be ready for signature Monday afternoon. I said I would leave Noah here so he could pack. I'd pick him up later today. That suited her perfectly. I left them there on the patio. My first stop after leaving Noah and his Mother was the B & D Emporium. It specialized in bondage and discipline stuff. I wanted a new and better collar. Something that looked good and was also not easy to remove. I also picked up some wrist and ankle cuffs. Back home I pulled out all my sex toys and put them in the dishwasher. I needed to sanitize them. They hadn't been used in years. Then grabbed a beer and went back to work on my latest project. The biggest problem with it was the cut away portion showing the main and first and second story suites. Solving that problem I went out to relax. I had almost decided on pizza for dinner tonight when Sarah called and invited me for dinner. Perfect. I could drive over, have dinner and then load Noah's junk. We'd sort it out when we got home. I was already thinking of us as a 'WE', not as just Noah and me. I knew I was falling for the young man and just from his looks he more than just liked me. Dinner was very good. Sarah did a small roast of Pork, with roast potatoes, diced carrots and whole kernel corn. She even made a cheese cake for desert. I was stuffed and Noah ate like he was starved. That made me think. He probably hadn't been eating three good meals a day living almost alone all the time. It would explain why he looked skinny nude. He was pretty toned for his age and height, but figured a few more pounds definitely wouldn't hurt. After helping clean up, Noah took me up to his room. It was very neat and tidy, more than I thought a 16 year old boy's room would be. "My Mom helped me clean it up and showed me how to fold clothes so they don't get wrinkled." "Can I bring my computer and X Box John?" "Of course Noah. Bring anything you want." In then end Noah had two big suit cases and two boxes of stuff. I helped him load the back of the Jeep. We then sat and had coffee with his Mother. She gave me a card with her office address. I said I'd meet her there at 10 am Monday. We could if necessary see the Judge together. About 9 PM we headed to my home. We took his bags into my bedroom. We left the boxes for the next day. I showed Noah where he could put his clothes. The first thing he did was undress and carefully fold his clothes. He unpacked the same way. I was impressed. When he was done I told him to put the bags in the basement. Then get me a beer and something for himself. Noah came out with a beer for me and a coke for himself. He had the collar on. "Stand here beside me Noah. I have something for you." I removed the old dog collar and then pulled out the new one I had bought. I handed it to him. He handled it like it was made of glass. "This is for me? It's real nice Master." I fitted it on him. It really did look nice. Then I put the wrist and ankle cuffs on. They too were studded and looked good. "What are they for Master?" "I'll show you before bed. Now I want you to undress me." He carefully folded all my clothes. Almost as good as I did. He was learning fast or absorbed things quickly. I think the lack of a man in the house as he grew up made him more willing to please me. "Suck me off Noah. Remember what I said before. Try and take more of my cock each time. When you start to gag or choke, swallow." He did a pretty good job and got almost 6 inches of my 8 inch cock into his throat. He appeared to know when I was about to cumm and backed off. As I started to blow he swallowed and my cock was again pulled into his throat. This time he didn't fight it and slicked by my cumm went right into the pubes. When I was done he carefully licked my cock clean. I pulled my legs back. "Lick and suck on my balls Noah." He did a pretty good job of that too. "Now put one hand on each of my thighs and push me back. Then lick my ass hole." He just looked at me when I said that. "Do it Noah. Do it now boy." Once he figured out he tasted nothing but sweat he went at like he'd been doing it all his life. That's good Noah. Now stand up here," When he stood in front of me, I leaned down and took his hard spike into my mouth. Almost on reflex he thrust into my mouth. He made three quick thrusts and his sweet load blasted into my mouth. His whole body just about went limp and if I hadn't grabbed him he would have fallen down. I pulled him onto my lap. He just melted into me. "Noah, it's time for you to make a decision. I know you are going to try real hard to please me and not make any mistakes or errors. I also know 16 year old boys are bound to make mistakes. It's all part of growing up. Noah I want you to decided if you want me to punish you when the mistake happens or do you want to wait and take your punishment all at the same time." I felt his body tremble. "Master you can punish me all at the same time." "Okay Noah. That's what I will do from now on. Now what you did when you licked my hole is called rimming. Well I like to rim you too, but like you I don't want to taste anything but sweat. Come on Son, I'll show what you will do every morning and evening." It wasn't the best, but I used a water pick to clean myself out. I showed Noah how to do it and then had him do himself. He giggled a lot while he was doing it. "Don't ever forget Noah or you will be punished." "I won't forget Master." "You always use it before you shower. After cleaning yourself out shower." "Yes Master." "Now after you are done and showered come out to the bedroom." "Yes Master." I grabbed the big tube of salve and took it out the bedside table. I went and got my belt. Noah was going to come to either love this belt or hate it. Love it because he knew I would fuck him after whipping him or hate it because it hurt so much. I hoped he started to like it as I did. I really had no choice when I was growing up. My Dad used to whip me almost daily for even the smallest infraction of his rules. I wasn't the only one either. My older brother used to get it too. One day after getting whipped I was hard. I didn't know what it meant so I asked my older brother. He said the whipping was turning me on. He said it happened to him too and showed me his hard cock. Without even thinking about it I grabbed his cock. "Boy are you ever big." He then showed me how to jack off. Later after we had jacked each other a few nights times, he sucked me off. After that I sucked him everyday as many times as I could. One night after my Dad whipped me; my brother fucked me for the first time. I came to love a cock inside me, especially if my butt had been whipped first. I hoped Noah would be the same way someday. Until then to him it would only be punishment. Noah came out of the bathroom. His skin glowed from the hot shower. "Up on the bed on your stomach Noah." I went to the foot of the bed and connected his ankle cuffs to rings. Then I had him stretch his hands above his head and connected them to shorts chains. He was now spread on my bed. Noah was shaking. I'm sure he knew what came next. I sat on the edge of the bed. "Noah this is how I will put you every time I punish you. I'm also going to put a ball gag in your mouth to prevent you from biting your tongue. I want you never to disobey me again. I know you will make mistakes, but I will only punish once for those mistakes." I had him open his mouth so I could put the gag in. He then turned his head away. He didn't want to see it coming. The first slap across his pure white ass cheeks caused his whole body to jump and the scream of pain was loud even with the gag in. The next four just made him cry louder. After the fifth he was just lay blubbering on the bed, hardly moving. His ass was a dark red almost purple where the belt had left marks. I set the belt down and checked to make sure there was no broken skin. "It's over Noah. Just stay put. I'm going to put some thing on those welts to ease the burning." He just continued to cry. I first sprayed his ass cheeks with a spray type lanocane. It worked like an local anesthetic. Then I liberally coated his cheeks with salve. It would ease the burning and aid the healing. After unhooking him from the bed he just rolled away from me. I wondered if maybe I had gone too far to punish him like I had. I went out and locked everything up and turned down the lights. I lay down on the bed beside him. When I touched his back he moved away from my hand. I might just have made the young man hate me. I had a very troubled sleep. I woke up with Noah draped over me. His head on my chest and one legs intertwined with mine. I rubbed his head. He lifted his head and looked at me. "Good morning Noah. How are you feeling?" "I'm fine Master. My bum still hurts, but I expected it to be worse." "Yes, well the salve works real good. Would you like me to put some more on?" "Can we shower first Master?" "That we can do Noah." Noah took the lesson learned last night to heart and carefully cleaned himself out. Then we showered together after I had done myself. I put another coat of salve on his butt. The marks were still very visible. Noah watched as I made coffee and then breakfast. "Today we'll get the yard work done. You can pull weeds from the flower beds. Wear shorts when you are outside the fence Noah." "Yes Master." "Okay after you clean up in here come out to the back yard. You can wear your runners too Noah." "Okay Master." I own a small rider mower. I went out to my garage and checked it over. I opened the big garage door. I'd work on the outside first. Noah could do the two small flower beds at the front first. I watched Noah come out of the house. He held his shorts in front off him. "Down here Noah." I said and he almost ran to the garage. "You will get used to it Noah. You can put your shorts on. We'll do outside the fence first." It took us all of 20 minutes to get the front done. I knew I was being watched by my Neighbor. She was the biggest gossip on the block. "Noah, if that busy body from next door asked you, you are my Nephew. Remember the rule. Don't talk to strangers." "But if I hadn't talked to you??." I looked at Noah as a tear rolled down his face. I just pulled him to me. "I'm very glad you broke that rule with me Noah. I love you Son." He hugged me back. That would give that bitch next door some fodder. I laughed inside. We headed back around to the garage and once inside I closed the door. If Noah was modest before he wasn't now. He just stripped off his shorts. I coated his butt and front with lots of sunscreen. Didn't want that cute ass to burn. His butt plus about two inches of legs front and back were pure white. I also fitted him with a cock ring. It made him rock hard, but would prevent him from cumming. I showed him how to loosen it so he could pee, but told him to snap it tight after he pissed. "Yes Master." HE smiled. Well it took the better part of two hours to mow the lawn and then trim the edges. I'd be very glad when the pool was finally installed. It would cut the yard work in half. It like the privacy fence took a lot of pull at City Hall. With fence an inspector had come out to see why I wanted a fence so high. That busy body next door stood at the short fence trying to hear what I was talking about. He approved the fence. With the pool it was just about the same. Now I had the building permit, I hoped the pool people would get done soon. Two hours in the sun was enough for Noah. I really didn't want him to burn his butt. "Come on Noah. That's enough for today. Don't want you to burn son." We had a cool shower and then Noah set up his computer and X box. I made lunch. TBC Comments welcome Suddar40@shaw.ca Please contribute to Nifty.
