Journey of the Worlds Part Six

Well, its amazing how far this story line has gone. But it has been because
of the readers who have been through thick and thin with Nick and Jonathan,
as well as the "real life" Jonathan. My personal thanks to all of you who
have kept this series alive.

Chapter One:
As Renaissance touched down on the tarmac at Key West, the clock was just
striking midnight. As the plane completed its rollout Jonathan walked out of
his office on board and walked  towards the forward lounge. He handed his
coffee mug to a steward that had been standing near the lounge and nodded
his thanks.  As he entered the lounge, he noted the lights down low. He
walked over to Nick who was sleeping on the couch. It amazed him how Nick
could sleep through anything.  Jonathan paused to look for a few moments at
the beauty and peace on Nick's face. His shirt had ridden up a bit,
revealing the lower half of his hard abs; and the little trail of hair from
below his navel leading into his jeans.  In a lot of aspects he was still a
little kid; even at 23. Still, Jonathan thought, at 23 he was a billionaire
in his own right, and maturing to it incredibly well. Jonathan remembered
his own growing up period and coming into the amount of money he had. Nick
had adjusted so much better then he had done himself.

"Hey Kiddo" said Jonathan reaching down and shaking Nick's shoulder, "We're
home."

"How exciting" he replied sleepily. "What time is it?"

"Midnight" said Jonathan stretching. "You feel like going into town for a
drink before we head to the Grotto?"

"Not really" said Nick, finally rolling off the couch. "I ate way too much
at dinner. I just wanna go back and crash out"

"OK" said Jonathan. "You know, most people go home from dinner in a car. You
come home on board a 747, a private customized one no less,  and you sleep
almost the whole way"

"Hey, it was a three hour flight" said Nick. "You didn't want to fool
around, so I slept"

"We will have to make up for that oversight" said Jonathan as he kissed
Nick.

The plane slowed and came to a halt. As the engines shut down, Nick and
Jonathan walked out of the forward lounge and were met by Danny at the
doorway.

"Straight to the house I guess" said Jonathan. "Nick isn't in a party mood".

"I shouldn't think so. Didn't he eat that whole lobster?" said Danny.


"Yeah, all three pounds of it, plus it was stuffed with crabmeat and
spinach" said Jonathan.

"More then I can" said Jeff as he walked up to them.

"Hey hey" complained Nick. "I'm a growing boy"

"You grow any more and it won't fit" said Jonathan with a straight face.

"Wissass" said Nick. "I don't hear you complaining about my performance"

"Well," said Jonathan. "There was that first time"

"Hey I was a fast learner" said Nick, smiling. "Made you almost as happy as
that waitress tonight"

"Somehow I doubt rather seriously that there is anyone that happy in all of
Boston tonight." said Jonathan. "She made a 500 dollar tip from you"

"Well, it was the least I could do for her, considering how many people she
had to deal with" said Nick. "You were a total slob with the melted butter
for the lobster too"

"I only went through two bibs" said Jonathan.

The two broke up in laughter as Danny opened the door of the airplane.
After checking the surrounding area, he waited until one of the Hummers came
around from the back of the plane, before letting Nick and Jonathan out.
They went down the flight stairs and walked over to the Hummer. Jonathan
paused to enjoy the warm tropical breezes coming over the Key. This was a
good place to live he thought to himself. Opening his mind he could sense
the party-goers on Duval Street and the surrounding areas. As his senses
continued to grow into their immortality, he was more and more amazed at
what he could sense.  In his mind, he could actually see the people on Duval
Street, and the square, partying. Hopping into the back of the Hummer, it
was a 10 minute drive to Fern Grotto. Nick pointed out they could have made
it in five minutes if he had been allowed to drive. Jeff then pointed out
that was exactly why he didn't get to drive to the Grotto.

"Killjoy" said Nick "I never get to have any fun".

Jonathan reached over and stroked him though his jeans, groping his low
hanging nuts.

"OK OK almost no fun" said Nick with a smile.

As they entered the compound, and drove up the driveway, Jonathan mused how
beautiful the house looked. Bathed in flood lights it stood out in stark
relief against the dark of the night. The driveway was lined with Tiki Lamps
that were burning.  Getting out of the Hummer, he looked over the Gardens in
front that were lit from ground lighting. He smiled to himself at some past
memory. Taking Nick's hand they walked up the steps to the house.

"Anything on the agenda?" asked Danny as they walked inside. Nick kissed
Jonathan on the cheek and headed upstairs to bed.

"Not that I'm aware of." he replied walking into the living room area. The
underwater lights of the black pool and Jacuzzi cast a glow over the back
patio area.  "Brandon and Mark will be in Europe at least four maybe five
days depending how long they decide to party.  I told them to take some time
off.  There aren't any meetings coming up; at least I don't think there are
anyway. I'll look in the morning, but it should be just a simple lazy week
unless Kristian pops in"

"Works for me" said Danny. "You going running in the morning?"

"Yeah I need to" Jonathan replied. "I'll let you know."

"OK I'm going to walk the grounds" said Danny. He nodded and walked off.

Jonathan walked over to the bar and went behind to pour a drink. As he was
pouring a snifter of the 150 year old Grand Mariner, Sebastian meowed his
presence known and curled around his legs rubbing himself against Jonathan.
Jonathan bent down to scratch his ears. Sebastian  replied by lifting
himself up and stretching all the way up to Jonathan's waist purring
happily. Obviously he had missed the human company.  After scratching up and
down his back for a short time, Jonathan lifted Sebastian up onto the bar,
and reached underneath for a bowl.  Hepoured out some cat food into his bowl
and put it on the bar.

"You are the only cat I know that has like 10 feeding bowls all in the same
china pattern." said Jonathan.

Sebastian cocked his head, twitched his ear, and very cat like squeezed his
eyes half shut by reply before turning to his food.

Jonathan walked over to his study, flipped the computer on and checked his
email and the news headlines.  Finding nothing of interest, he shut it down.
Walking around the house he paused to watch the lights reflect in the pool
out back while drinking the snifter.  As he finished it, Anthony stopped by.
The two chatted for a few minutes. Jonathan  finished his walk thought the
house and having found all in order and went upstairs to bed.  As he walked
into the bedroom he noted Nick was already asleep. He quietly got undressed
and got under the covers. Nick in his sleep naturally curled up to Jonathan.
He smiled and kissed him on the forehead before slipping off to sleep
himself.

Chapter Two:
Early the next morning, Jonathan awoke to find Sebastian sitting curled up
on his chest. His paws were tucked under him and his whiskers were at full
attention about a foot from Jonathan's face.
Seeing Jonathan awake he rose and stretched to his full height before
staring down at Jonathan churring quietly.

"Aren't we just full of energy this morning" said Jonathan half asleep
looking at the cat.

"Ugh.  Quiet" came the sleepy reply from Nick's side of the bed.

Sebastian flipped his tail back and forth before looking at Jonathan again.

In his head, Jonathan heard a rich resinous voice.

"Well?" it said. "You gonna scratch me or what?"

Jonathan in his half asleep mumbled "Sure yeah, whatever". He reached up and
starting scratching Sebastian's chest.

"Nice, very nice... How about my jaw?"

Jonathan's hand was half way up to Sebastian's jaw when first one eye then
the other flew wide open and focused sharply on the cat's face..

"Jesus!" he yelled.  As he sat upright sending the cat flying "You can talk"

Sebastian hit the floor on all four feet and skidded briefly across the
highly waxed floor.  He put his ears back and hopped back up on the bed, his
tail flying furiously. He was staring directly at Jonathan with a look on
his furry face Jonathan had never seen before.  "Jesus Christ yourself" he
heard in his mind. "For your information, cats are agnostic. And no I can't
talk. You can understand me now. Cats are some of the most intelligent
animals on the planet. We understand what you call language. You can
understand me because of that. So chill"

For a brief moment, Jonathan was on the verge of losing control of his
sanity when he looked up at a sudden movement. Kristian stood at the end of
the bed.

"Jonathan, we are connected" said Kristian patiently with a disturbed look
on his face. "You are going to have to learn about your powers. When you
yelled you just sent a shock wave over the interspacial planes that rocked
my world."

"Sorry" said Jonathan, calming down somewhat. "That cat talked to me"

"No Jon" said Kristian walking over to Sebastian, who wanted nothing to do
with Kristian but made a bee line straight out of the bedroom. Kristian
paused frowning and stared out the bedroom door. Suddenly Sebastian appeared
in his arms; much to the distress of Sebastian who obviously had no concept
of what happened or how he managed to be back in the room. "I told you that
you were becoming one with the world and all that was in it. Our powers come
from the natural bio-magnetic and electric energy of the planet. Think about
that rabbit in the desert."

"But the cat said he could understand" said Jonathan, shaking his head
wondering just how the cat appeared like that.

"Probably can. Cats are smart" said Kristian. "Just relax Jonathan. You
still have a lot of learning to do."

"Wonderful" said Jonathan getting out of bed, and headed for the bathroom
paying no mind that he was naked. "Good thing I'm immortal. That probably
would have given me a heart attack."

"It does take a little getting used to" said Kristian scratching Sebastian's
ears. Sebastian on the other hand, was not overly complacent about the whole
affair. He put his ears back and hissed at Kristian.

"Hmm" said Kristian, putting Sebastian down on the bed. "I had a girlfriend
in the 16th century who had the same attitude."

Sebastian choose to put his ears flat back, and growl. Then he threw his
tail straight up, turned, hopped off the bed and walked out of the room.
Kristian smiled at the thought patterns emanating from the cat.

"Didn't learn that in any school of higher learning there bud" he told
Sebastian as he went out of the room. This earned him a further flick of the
tail.

"Oh God" said Nick rolling over. "Is there a convention in here or what?"

"Good Morning Nick" said Kristian.

That shocked Nick into full wakefulness. "What are you doing here?"

"Jonathan yelled loud enough for me to hear, so I thought I'd better check"
said Kristian.

Nick rolled back under the covers. "About what?"

"Seems he discovered he can talk to Sebastian" said Kristian.

"And I'm awake because of this?" Nick said grumpily. "Out"

Kristian smiled and disappeared.   Jonathan walked back in from the bathroom
just in time to see him disappear.

"I'd love to know how he does that" said Jonathan going over to Nick's side
of the bed.  Nick grumbled a response and curled up with a pillow over his
head.

"Come on sleepyhead" said Jonathan, "Let's go run. I already called Paul"

"Nooooooooo" said Nick slipping his head under the blankets. "It's too damn
early"

Jonathan flipped the blankets back to find Nick curled up in a ball. "Heh.
It's 7 AM. Come on. It will do you good."

"No No No No" said Nick fighting for the covers.

Jonathan let go of the covers suddenly and Nick fell back onto his back. In
a lightening fast move, Jonathan grabbed the covers and pulled them
completely off the bed exposing Nick's naked body.

"No fair, foul! foul!" said Nick waking up against his wishes..

"Hmm." said Jonathan. "If your so sleepy, why is that UP?" He flipped Nick's
erect cock with his finger.  He could feel his own cock start to rise.

Nick flipped over on his stomach. "It doesn't know any better"

Jonathan bent over and ran his tongue up Nick's spine. This produced a
shudder.

"Are you sure that is the only reason?" he asked. Once more Jonathan trailed
his tongue over Nick's spine, this time going down stopping just above
Nick's ass crack.

"Well, maybe there is another reason" said Nick rolling over and putting his
arms around Jonathan's neck.

Jonathan lowered himself down onto Nick. Gently at first with growing
passion, the two kissed.

Nick's back arched upwards and Jonathan began a descent of his tongue down
Nick's body. He paused to work over Nick's nipples; which were the most
sensitive part of his body. Jonathan first licked them, following that up
with gentle biting of each nipple. As Nick thrashed around he started to
pull the nipple away from his body with his teeth. This produced moans of
lust from  Nick; who grabbed Jonathan's head and pulled him up to him.

"Fuck me man" said Nick between kisses.

Nick rolled himself over on top of Jonathan. He ground himself into
Jonathan's rising cock. The two continued to kiss as precum from both cocks
lubricated Jonathan's cock and pubes. Nick reached down and stroked him,
making the shaft slippery. Finally he pulled his body up and worked his ass
over Jonathan's cock while stroking his own. Riding up and down on the shaft
while stroking his own, Nick became lost in a world of sensations. Jonathan
once more opened his mind to him. Nick saw stars and planets pass his
vision. He was only vaguely aware of his own load shooting all over the both
of them as his entire body felt like molten flame his passions were so
intense.

As he came off the high, he looked down at Jonathan. He was smiling at him.
Jonathan pulled him down and kissed him. Nick had no concept of the passing
time that had occurred.

"My God" said Nick. "How do you control those feelings?"

"Carefully" said Jonathan "If I don't think about them, I don't feel them. I
open my mind up and I can feel, see, hear, so much. Of course then there is
the emotions and love factor in there too"

Nick kissed him. "God I love you. You do that to me when I'm 60 and you're
going to give me a heart attack."

"Heh" said Jonathan with a wicked smile. "Just wait til next week when you
have your birthday"

"Oh Lord, I'm dead" moaned Nick.

"Now get your ass in gear lets go running" said Jonathan, still unable to
move since Nick was on top of him.

Nick ground his ass against Jonathan's cock which started to harden and
hadn't slipped out of Nick's ass.

"I thought it was in gear" said Nick, squeezing his ass, causing sensations
of pure pleasure to race through Jonathan's cock. "Besides this burns of 700
calories an hour" He began once more rocking up and down as Jonathan's cock
became hardened. Jonathan started to thrust himself in an out of Nick. Nick
bent down, sucking Jonathan's nipples. For many minutes, Jonathan worked his
cock in an out of Nick..  He could feel Nick's ass tighten and clench as he
slowly approached his second orgasm. With a loud moan, Nick once more began
shooting his load over Jonathan. In turn, Jonathan fired a second thick load
deep into Nick. Bucking and writhing on the bed, the two lovers slowly came
off their orgasmic highs. Nick lowered himself down to Jonathan and began
quietly kissing him. Jonathan shifted slightly, allowing his cock to slip
out of Nick.

"How was that babe" he asked softly and he gently played with Nick's
nipples; producing minor quakes to Nick's body.

"Wow, that was good" said Nick, shuddering as the intense feelings still
racked his body.

"I guess you are loosened up enough to go running now" said Jonathan kissing
him again and pulling him from the bed. " A quick shower and you should be
all ready to go"

"Says who?" asked Nick as he allowed himself to be dragged to the shower. As
the hot water cascaded over him and the steam began to fill the shower, he
was slowly awakening to sensations he hadn't felt before.

"Are you doing something to me Jon?" he asked, turning around.

"Trust me babe" said Jonathan taking his hands and looking into his eyes.

The shower stall seemed to fade away. Nick's mind slowly began to register
panic but was calmed down by Jonathan's thoughts. From Key West and the
shower the two of them were suddenly underneath a warm waterfall. Sunlight
filtered through the lush green of the forest.  Sounds of the rushing water
and the birds in the forest surrounded them.  The water cascaded over their
naked bodies. Jonathan pulled Nick to him and kissed him, pulling Nick's
tongue deep into his mouth, while starting to stroke his cock. Nick
responded with a passion he did not know existed. The two remained in the
water, almost floating at the base of the waterfall. Nick pushed
effortlessly into Jonathan and began a slow rutting motion. His passions
became enflamed. All too soon, he began shooting his load deep into
Jonathan. More cum then he knew existed in his body shot from his penis.
Wave after wave of orgasmic passions and feeling flowed through him; more
intense and powerful then anything he had ever experienced. A yell ripped
through his lips that echoed through the surrounding forest. It seemed to
last forever in his mind  Finally regaining his senses, he found himself in
the shower stall, being held by Jonathan as his body shook with one more
wave of pleasure.

"What the Hell was that?" he asked Jonathan between gasps. "I was here then
I wasn't"

"I know" said Jonathan rubbing his back and holding him. He eased Nick to
one of the built in sitting areas in the shower. "I took you with me
somewhere"

"Where were we?" he asked.

Jonathan kissed him softly. "We per se, were still here in the shower. That
is our physical bodies. What you experienced was your actual consciousness
traveling with mine. I took your 'collective being' as it were with mine to
a water fall deep in the Brazilian Rainforest. You experienced everything on
a level unexplainable as you were essentially pure energy"

"I thought my cock was gonna get ripped off when I came" said Nick. He had a
look of pure love in his eyes looking at Jonathan.

"Heh" said Jonathan, slowly washing him. "Did you like it?"

"It was incredible" said Nick, leaning back on the marble wall. "I felt
everything throughout every pore of my body."

"Good" said Jonathan pulling him up and washing the soap off of him. "I
wanted to make it special for you. I love ya"

"I know you do" said Nick, kissing him.

"Breakfast first or go running" asked Jonathan getting out of the shower and
throwing a towel at Nick.

"Bed is a wonderful option" said Nick. "Between you being immortal or
omnipotent or what ever and your sex drive, I don't think I have any energy
for running"

"Nope nope" said Jonathan. "Two choices only. Food or Run. Paul is down
stairs waiting"

"Food and we'll see if I can't bribe you out of the run" said Nick, mischief
in his eyes.

"You can bribe me easily, but I suspect that what you have in mind won't
work with Paul" said Jonathan going into the bedroom to get dressed.

Nick followed, snapping his towel at Jonathan's ass.

"Damn" he said. "You're right. I'll have to try something else. Maybe a half
million dollars"

Jonathan laughed. Finishing dressing in shorts and a polo shirt, he picked
Nick up and carried him out over his shoulder.

"Hey I'm not dressed yet" said Nick, struggling to break free.

"You got boxers on" said Jonathan. "Seen you with less on at breakfast."

"Yeah but I'm hanging out" said Nick.

"So, tuck yourself in." said Jonathan. He continued down the front winding
stairs with Nick over his shoulder complaining to no avail. As he passed
Sebastian on his way in the front entrance way, he could swear he actually
heard laughing in his head. The cat was sitting at the foot of the stairs
with a cat like expression of mirth on its' face.  Sebastian's tail slowly
trailed back and forth over the marble floor.  Better not tell Nick about
that he judged. Finally coming to the kitchen, he flipped Nick effortlessly
in his arms and kissing him dumped in gently in a chair.  Paul already
seated, thought the whole thing was incredibly funny.  Anthony and Karen,
standing by the coffee pot, smiled to themselves, trading looks.

"Well, I've seen you show up in some strange ways at school for breakfast,
but I think this tops it" said Paul.

"Up yours" said Nick, grumbling, "I'll show you topping something"

"Not a chance" said Paul. "I met this wonderful female type bod downtown
yesterday. She has all the right parts. You got too many"

Nick smiled. "Yeah, but I know what to do with the parts"

"Fuck you" said Paul in a friendly way.

"Offer, promise or threat?" Nick asked. Jonathan smirked at the banter
between the two of them as Karen handed him a cup of coffee. He smiled his
thanks.  Nick and Paul continued to banter back and forth while Jonathan
chatted with Anthony and Karen. Nick firmly decided that with Paul's luck
with woman, he prolly tried to pick up a lesbian.  It was Key West after all
he pointed out. Jonathan tuned them out at that point.

"So, you guys got any plans this week?" asked Jonathan turning to Karen.

"Not really" said Karen. "I need to get into Miami to do some shopping if
we're going to be here for a while this time."

"Yeah" said Jonathan. "We should be. I need to double check the computer,
but I don't recall Brandon saying anything about this week. I was planning
on taking it easy this week. I'll have one of the guys drive you in."

"How about I borrow one of the Hummers and see how fast I can get there?"
Karen asked with mischief in her eyes.

"You have been around Nick entirely too long" said Jonathan smiling.

Shortly thereafter, Nick and Jonathan, led off by Paul and surrounded by
four bodyguards struck out on a 10 mile morning jog. Nick made references to
it as medieval torture. Paul responded that he spent enough time on his back
he should be used to "the Rack"; with reference to the favorite medieval
torture device.

"Least I'm not using my hand twice a day" said Nick. For all his complaining
about the run, he was actually in excellent shape and had no problem keeping
up.

"Hey, its only once a day thank you" said Paul.

"You really should think about sex with a guy" said Nick, smirking. "You
might get some down here"

"Yeah, OK" said Paul with a fair amount of sarcasm in his voice.  The two
continued to chat while running.

Jonathan was running as effortlessly as ever. He had discovered in the year
since he had become immortal, his body became increasingly more powerful. He
had more energy for running, more strength. He had surprised himself in that
picking Nick up earlier in the morning, he found it nearly effortless.  As
they ran, he slipped into an 'autopilot' mode. He opened his mind to the
sights and sounds of the Key. He could feel the surroundings not just see
them. In his mind, he heard all of the birds chirping on the Key. Closing it
down some, he narrowed his focus on directly ahead. Over the crest of the
road he could see the grove of trees; and something else. He came to a halt.

"What's up?" said Paul turning around.

"Danny" he said turning. "We got some company up ahead in that grove of
trees. Doesn't look too friendly."

Danny turned slowly as if stretching and looked. "You sure?" he asked.

"Yeah, I can feel them" he said quietly.

"How do you know someone's up there?" asked Paul. "I can't see anything"

"Not now Paul" said Nick. "If he says he knows someone is there, trust me,
they are there"

"OK" said Danny. He reached around and moved his fanny pak to the side,
unzipping it, and checking the contents.

"Zulu forest" he said to the other guards. Each of them had slowed an acted
if they were all stretching while they paused.

Turning back to Jonathan he said. "OK. If they are waiting for you, there is
no point in turning around. I'll take the lead with two of the guys. Jeff
will run with Nick and Paul. When we get near it, hit the ditch on the far
side of the road. Jeff will make sure the kids are OK"

"No" said Jonathan. "I'll run with you and one other. There are only 4 in
the woods. Send Nick and Paul back with Jeff"

"I want to keep everyone together" said Danny. "Enough. We need to do this.
Trust me"

With a fast look at everyone, they resumed their run. Jonathan looked over
at Nick. "It's OK"

"Hope so" said Nick, running close to Jonathan. Jeff and another guard were
on either side of Nick with Paul behind him.

"How do you know someone is there Jon?" asked Paul.

"Long story" said Jonathan.

Before he could continue, Jeff pushed Nick towards the far side of the road,
and Danny had yelled "Now" ....
