Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:28:59 -0400 From: zak556@aol.com Subject: A Taste of Paradise The walls had begun to close in on Philip Reynolds. His wife, his profession, his employees, life in general had left him empty, his life meaningless. In his mid-fifties, he'd bypassed his mid-life crisis and was quickly disappearing into old age. A loveless, sexless marriage and his profession had become far more of a burden than a creative challenge. He'd hurdled the hurdles, tackled the obstacles and accomplished most of his professional goals. He'd noticed an ad in a local magazine for an island get-away and somehow knew it was the answer. He needed the escape, he needed it now, and not a family vacation with his wife pushing an over-packed agenda in his face every morning. He needed some time to recharge, to search for the man he'd been many years ago, to remember who Philip was, to reconnect. He picked up the phone and took the first step. It was a few days later that he let his wife in on his plans, the plans that did not include her or business associates or anyone else. She cried a little, protested a lot, but to no avail. His mind was made up and once she gave in, the final arrangements were confirmed. On Friday morning at seven, his wife dropped him off at the airport. With a kiss and a private hope that it would indeed make him a better man and husband, she said goodbye. After a six-hour flight to the island mainland, and an hour boat tr ip to the private secluded resort, he was tired, frustrated and skeptical at the potential success of his venture. There were only three other homes on the island other than the one he was renting. Philip's was a rustic bungalow with one bedroom, dining/living combination and a large screened porch overlooking the water. The whole structure was buried in lush, green palms and trees that made it almost invisible from the ocean. Right off the deck was an endless vista of pure white sand and rolling waves. `Wonderful,' was his first impression. There was no communication of any kind, no telephone, no internet hook-up, no television, absolute isolation -- perfect. Once unpacked, he changed into some shorts and a t-shirt and strolled down to the beach with a bottle of wine, no glass, just bottle in hand. He spread a blanket on the sand, laid back and took his first pure breath of tranquility. He must have faded off to sleep, when he woke, the sun was setting over the water. The golden light burned bright red and orange and spread across the horizon like molten lead. A strange and long-lost peace began to invade his body as he mellowed into his surroundings. As the sun melted into the distant ocean and Philip's wine bottle bottomed out, he felt a need to sleep; his first sleep in this incredible paradise. He wandered back inside, stripped naked and sunk into the deep overstuffed bed. How wonderful it felt to la y with nothing on between the cool sheets. His wife didn't like sleeping naked and he didn't feel comfortable anymore being naked around her. He listened to the soft ocean breeze and rustling sounds of the palms and floated off into the night. He woke the next morning newly refreshed and slipped on a pair of shorts, no underwear necessary he thought-- ready for nature. He fixed himself an egg with a glass of orange juice and his morning coffee and went out on the deck. As he sat sipping his coffee and eating his egg, his mind wandered to thoughts of work and the wife he'd left behind. He felt a dark cloud hovering over him as he began to feel a bit guilty for taking this time for himself. He knew his wife would have loved this incredible, tranquil setting. "Hey there," a soft voice said breaking his thoughts, dissipating the cloud. When he looked up, his mouth nearly dropped open. Before him on the steps of his deck stood the most beautiful boy he'd ever seen. Philip was as straight as they come, he'd never thought about the looks of a guy. But there was no mistaking the intrinsic beauty of the male standing before him. His hair glistened in the morning sun, shades of golden wheat. His eyes were a pale bluegreen like the ocean behind him and full deeper brown lips curled at the corners exposing a hint of brilliant white teeth and an open, inviting smile. His face looked almost sculpted with angular features, a chiseled chin and a square classically beautiful nose. His tanned body shined with oiled magnificence. The boy's chest, his rippled stomach, most of his body was totally hairless except for a few wisps of blond curls to peeked out of the top of his bathing suit. He wore the smallest, thinnest lime green suit or possibly underwear Philip had ever seen. A thin pouch in front left little for the imagination of what was barely held inside. Philip stuttered and finally, replied, "Hey." "My name's Sean," the boy continued. He was probably mid-twenties as far as Philip could surmise. "Philip," he replied. "Didn't expect to see anyone around here." The boy just stared back. "Coffee," Philip asked, not sure why. "Juice," Sean suggested. Philip got him a tall glass of pineapple juice and when he returned, the boy was seated on the deck railing. Philip noticed that nothing of the skimpy bathing suit covered the boys butt. Just a thin line of material ran down the crack of his ass from a minute triangle of fabric. His ass cheeks were as tanned and dark as the rest of his incredible body. Philip handed him the glass of juice but couldn't take his eyes off the boy. His mind swirled wit h confusion. His near nakedness made Philip uncomfortable and nervous. "Where you staying," Philip asked, trying to get focused. "Down a ways," Sean replied. Even his voice seemed soft and soothing as Philip watched his lips move. "How about joining me for a little exploring, or maybe a swim?" Philip agreed before he had a chance to think about it. He slipped on a pair of sandals, grabbed a towel, suntan lotion, and off they went down the beach. They'd walked for some time when they found a picture-perfect lagoon, quiet, peaceful and beautiful. "This is a perfect place for a swim," Sean announced. "You ready?" "Guess so," Philip replied. Sean quickly dove into the water with Philip close behind watching his naked asscheeks break the surface of the water. They swam out a ways and treading water, Sean waited for Philip to catch up. "Beautiful, isn't it," he commented. "It sure is," Philip sighed. "Don't jump," Sean announced as a pale gray dolphin surfaced the water right around them. "I've seen him before, very friendly. I think this is his place." "My God," Philip commented. "This is incredible." The dolphin nosed his way around them, poking at them lightly from time to time. He kept nudging Philip toward Sean. Philip kept backing away and the dolphin kept pushing him forward. He kept it up till Philip was bumping into the boy. Sean laughed and didn't move as the playful dolphin kept pushing Philip's body against his. One time as the dolphin pushed him into Sean, Philip felt something hard against his leg, he felt it again, and then realized it was Sean's penis and it was apparently erect. He looked down and saw the thin material of Sean's suit stretched outward with his erection. Philip kept trying to back away, but the insistent mammal kept pushing them together. "He must think we're a couple," Sean laughed. "Dolphin's mate for life you know." "I didn't know that," Philip responded as he kept glancing down at Sean's aroused state. What Philip couldn't understand was why his penis seemed to be responding too. It was another guy after all. He tried to avert his stare, tried to think of just the dolphin playing around them, but he kept getting harder and then he noticed that Sean noticed too. Sean smiled as he looked down through the clear blue water at Philip's tented shorts. "Me too," he laughed. "I know," Philip said, "strange." "It's only natural," Sea n went on. "The sun, the water and a horny dolphin, kinda has that affect on you." Philip laughed. They swam back toward the beach and as they exited the water, Philip's erection had subsided. Sean's had not. Sean slid his suit off and sat down in the warm sand. He lay back and stared up at the azure blue sky totally comfortable exposing himself to the world, erection and all. Philip slowly spread his towel watching the full magnificence of the boy's body. There were no tan lines anywhere. His penis, his testicles, between his legs, he was tanned a golden brown all over. "Should have brought you a towel," Philip said as he started rubbing the suntan lotion over his legs and chest. "I'm practically dry already," Sean commented. "Want me to do your back?" "Sure," Philip reluctantly agreed, handing Sean the bottle of lotion. He noted that Sean's condition had returned to normal which made him a little more comfortable except for the naked thing. He'd seen a few guys naked in his time, took a quick notice of comparable sizes, etc., but he'd never seen a male's equipment so incredibly perfect and never a tanned cock. Sean got on his knees behind Philip and squirting some of the lotion in his hands, began working it into his shoulders and down his back. His soft smoot h hands moved slowly, in a fluid circular motion over Philip, down to his waist, slowly, making sure to fully cover his skin with the oil. He worked some on the sides of Philip's arms and down to his wrists. He did Philip's ears and neck and then asked him to get up on his knees. "Why?" Philip quickly asked, obviously nervous. "So I can get your waist good, need to lower your shorts a little." "I think I'm fine now," Philip stuttered. "Come on," Sean urged, "don't be shy." Philip raised up on his knees and Sean reached around and undid the clasp of Philip's shorts. Philip didn't move, didn't say a word. Sean pushed the shorts down a little, just past Philip's hips. He then worked the lotion on the mounds of ass peeking over the edge of the shorts. "Why don't you get rid of these all together," Sean asked. "Get a start on a nice tan on your butt as well." "I don't think so," Philip insisted. "Come on," Sean argued. "I'm naked and it's beautiful this way out in the open. How often do you get a chance to run around in the fresh air with nothing on at all? I promise not to peek." Philip thought for a mom ent, the idea did excite him. So, he stood, let his shorts drop and kicked them aside. His white, furry butt glistened the bright morning sun. Sean finished working the lotion on his ass cheeks and down his legs. As he worked his way down, his fingers slipped between Philip's legs and lightly brushed across his hairy balls. Philip jumped and tightened his legs together. "You'd better do your front," Sean suggested handing Philip the lotion. Philip finished covering his cock and balls and abdomen with lotion and lay back down on the towel. Sean lay next to him. As they laid in the warm sun and the cool ocean breeze, the morning seemed to fade away. Philip heard the low and deep breathing and realized Sean had fallen asleep. He turned sideways and propping himself up on his elbow, he studied the boy that had shown up out of nowhere and now slept peacefully. He stared intently at his body, every beautiful inch, tanned and exposed to the world. His perfect tanned cock lay nestled in the blond pubic curls like an Adonis Greek statue, the perfect male form. His balls, loose and heavy, lay nestling his cock, poised on top of his muscular legs. For one brief moment, Philip actually considered touching him...he didn't. He dozed for a bit, and when he woke, Sean was standing looking out to the sea. He again scanned that body, got a good view of the tanned full butt and his long=2 0and muscular legs A thin coating of white sand covered the round brown smooth ass. These new feelings of his were making him extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't figure out where they were coming from or what they meant. He decided he'd better get back to his room. He stretched and stood, turned and picked up his towel and his discarded shorts shaking the sand out and put his shorts back on. "Well," he concluded, "I guess I'll be heading back. Nice meeting you Sean." "Don't you want to hang out some more," Sean asked. "You must have other things to do," Philip continued. "You surely don't want to hang out with an old guy like me and I've got a novel waiting." "I like hanging out with you," Sean went on with a dejected and sad look. "And you certainly don't look like an old man to me." "Well," Philip sighed, partially wanting the boy to leave, "you wanna come back for lunch." "Sure," Sean said as his face brightened. Sean picked up his skimpy green suit and as Philip watched, he carefully stepped into the string sides. Philip watched the boy's hand cradle his cock and gently adjust it back into the silk suit pouch. Off they went, back toward Philip's bungal ow. There they shared a sandwich, a soda and some chips. They talked about the island, the weather, Philip's work and his wife and enjoyed the beauty of the day. Later on, they walked the beach, collected shells and went for another swim -- both naked this time. As evening began to fall, they had a cookout on the beach with hotdogs on sticks and a couple bottles of wine. Philip was getting used to the boy's company. As the last of their second bottle of spirits disappeared, Philip began fidgeting with the sand at his feet. He was ready for sleep, something about a day in the sun and water makes a man ready for bed. "Well," he said amidst a full-scale yawn. "It's time for me to turn in. It's been a great day, I had a good time, thanks. I've got a whole lot of crap that I'm trying to put behind me back home. Today was a good start. You helped." "I'm glad," Sean replied. "You think it might be possible for me to stay here tonight? It's a long way back." "Wouldn't someone miss you," Philip asked, still trying to get him to go. "Not at all and I enjoy it here." "I guess you could stay," Philip stammered. "There's only one bed, but a hammock on the deck that mig ht work." "It gets a little buggy out here a night," Sean continued. "I wouldn't mind sharing your bed, if it's okay." "Well, ...sure...I guess," Philip conceded with an obvious tone of reluctance in his voice. "I snore a bit, so I've been told." "That's all right," Sean beamed. They picked up the remains of their cookout and stumbled up the steps into the softly lit room. On the far end of the open space was Philip's bed with sheer netting that hung from a ring on the bamboo ceiling. Sean started rinsing off the plates and glasses as Philip disappeared into the bathroom. When he returned, he wore a thin pair of white linen pajama bottoms, no top. Sean turned and watched him pull back the covers of the pale white bed. As he climbed under the spread, a strange nervous feeling seemed to come over him. This boy had showed up at the beginning of the day, interrupted his silence and solitude and was still there. Philip had agreed to let this boy, a stranger, spend the night. Why? Sean switched off the kitchen area light, and went into the bathroom. Philip heard the toilet flush and out came Sean, naked. The room was dark except for the moonlight reflecting off the sleeping ocean's edge. In that dim blue-light, he watched the boy walk across the room, watc hed his cock sway back and forth. Sean walked to the other side of the bed and climbed in. Philip felt the heat from his body. He had never slept with another guy, not even as a boy with three brothers, especially not a naked boy and no one other than his wife since they'd married. Sean then slid over toward Philip. "Good night," he whispered in the dark as he rested his hand on Philip's hairy chest. Philip didn't move, the touch was disquieting, unnerving. He wanted to pull away but was on the edge of the bed. He could feel something against his hip, the boy's cock, just the thin material of his pajama bottoms between them. Soon Sean's breathing sounded deep and slow, Philip knew he was sleeping and within a moment or two he had joined him. Soft winds, slow mellow music, and the tender sweetness of naked skin pressed against his body, floated in and through Philip's mind as he slowly opened his eyes to the morning. The warm touch of the naked skin, his hands exploring, the sweet and smooth feel of an ass, a back, his demanding erection pressed against his wife -- he thought. And then as his hand moved down the soft hairless stomach, he touched a cock. He jerked with a start as he realized it was the boy, Sean, he'd been feeling, erotically stroking in the early morning of his waking. He pulled away and fell to the floor. As he looked across the bed, th e rumpled sheets, in the soft morning glow of light he saw Sean still sleeping. He'd been touching him, and not in the normal guy-to-guy way. He'd been making sexual advances to the boy in his sleep. He turned and quickly exited to the bathroom, thankful Sean was still asleep, thankful he didn't know what had been happening. He started his coffee and went out on the deck. He sat sipping, listening to the morning surf, thinking about what he'd done. His sex life had been nonexistent except for his hand for quite some time. He and his wife had moved away from that stage, to a mostly peaceful coexistence with time and history as the glue that held them together. He reeled with the thoughts of touching Sean like he had, another guy. God, if anyone had seen or if the boy had woke, what would he have said. He was resolved to get the boy gone today, this was too dangerous a situation. He wondered how long the erotic exploration had gone on in the night. After he'd finished his first cup of coffee, he went back inside. He walked over to the bed, Sean had kicked the covers off and lay sleeping, naked before him, his cock fully erect. How could a boy be so beautiful? Even after a night of sleep, his hair was perfect, his body more perfect, his cock incredible. Why did Philip want to touch him again? As his eyes traveled down the body and slowly back up, he saw that Sean's eyes had opened. "Morning," Philip began, nervous that's he'd been looking at his body in such a manner. "Morning," Sean replied as he stretched. And then, the boy raised his hand and took hold of Philip's. He began pulling him down to the bed. Philip started to go, but then jerked away. He took a step or two backwards. "Look Sean, I don't know what's going on here," Philip explained, "but I can't do this, I'm not gay, never been with another man, never touched another guy. And yet, my hands have been all over you, you make me breath heavy, you make me hard and I don't know why. I can't do this..." "I know Philip," the boy argued, "I'm all mixed up as well, but I love touching and being touched by you. Ever since we met, I've wanted to be with you, to stay here, to give myself to you, completely. It's as if I can only breath with you next to me. It doesn't make sense to me either, but I can't fight it. I know you're not into sex with guys or anything like that, but it's not just that, it's not sex. It's something so much deeper. Don't you feel it? Even the dolphin sensed it." Philip reeled with his thoughts and didn't reply. Sean sat up and reached for his hand again. Philip didn't back away. Sean pulled him to the bed and down on top of him. He moved against him in the bed, pressed his hard cock against Philip's. He wrapped his arms around Philip and then...kissed him deep and long and hard -- one perfect kiss that broke the ice, the resistance. Philip kissed back, gave in, surrendered. They kissed deep and full, tongues exploring, hands fumbling. Sean undid the tie to Philip's pajama bottoms and pushed them down over his ass, down his thighs as far as he could reach and then took his foot and pushed them completely off. He pulled Philip against him again, their cocks touching for the first time. A blaze of white erotic fire spread through Philip like a wave. With no resistance, with complete abandon, he succumbed to the ecstasy. An overwhelming softness and tender sweetness enveloped the moment. Philip kissed the boy's face all over, kissed his neck and slowly as if to never end the moment, he kissed his way down the body. The smooth, soft, tanned skin was all his. He worshipped it like the sweetest treasure and tasted every inch. He sucked Sean's nipples and played with them with his tongue, felt them grow hard and erect. He moved slowly over the rippled stomach, probing the belly button, pushing his tongue deep. He listened as the boy purred sweetly to his administering, spent more time in areas when the boy moaned deeper or louder. He read every response and worked it to maximize their mutual pleasure. There was nowhere else on earth, no time other than now for the two of them. Slowly he moved into the blond hair at the base of the boy's throbbing cock, he smelled the sweet scent that was Sean and then at the base of his cock, he paused for a moment and with no reluctance, kissed his way up the boy's pressing maleness. He kissed and licked onto the cut, throbbing purple head. It was bright and shiny with it's hardness, a deep purple-pink in color and seemed to pulse with each tender touch. Sweet drops of a pearl-like fluid appeared at the slit at the base of the head; Philip licked and tasted. And as Philip raised up on a propped elbow, he stared at the sweet cock, kissed the head and let is slide past his lips, into his warm and wanting mouth. He felt a tear break from his eye and roll down his cheek. It had been so long, so long since he'd loved and made love. He sucked the boy's cock and felt his heart beat, in sync with his own. As he worked the boy's essence, his hands touched and roamed and explored every part of the body he could reach. He listened to the boy's deep and hard breaths of passion. He felt his own hardness dragging over the boy's legs as he made love to the young cock. He left the sweet head of the cock, and worked back down and onto the boy's full balls, hairless and smoother than anything he had ever felt. He sucked them, one, then the other, into his mouth and slowly, lovingly rolled them around with his tongue. Sean reached down and pulled Philip back up to his mouth, they kissed again and for an endless length of time. They hugged as more tears rolled down Philip's cheeks. Sean kissed and tasted the salty tears, kissed Philip's eyes, his cheeks, all over his face and embraced him with both strong arms, pressing him tight, never wanting to let go. Sean pulled his knees up around Philip's hip and reaching down, grabbing Philip's demanding cock, he placed it at the entrance to his ass. He pushed his hips up and Philip slid inside, became one with the boy. His cock moved deep into the warmth, deeper to the base and he felt their hearts beating as one, he and Sean together completely, fully. Sean wrapped his legs around Philip's back and they began to move in unison, Sean against Philip's thrusts. They both moaned now, louder and more complete, surrendering to each other, becoming whole in their lovemaking. The boy gave himself completely to Philip, they belonged to each other. Philip's thrusts became more insistent more aggressive as he plunged deeper and harder each time, the passion beating in his chest. The boy welcomed each thrust and tightened his hold around the cock. They kissed over and over as they made love in the purest and most natural of ways. Nothing could have felt more right. As the final moment arrived, Philip sat up and with one last lunge, they both exploded in an earth-shattering crescendo of erotic fulfillment. Wave after wave of eruption filled the boy and shot from the boy, up his chest all over himself and Philip. They came in unison, the final perfect end to the lovemaking. Philip collapsed on Sean's chest and kissed again--a gentle, perfect kiss of adoration and completeness. They held each other tight until Philip's soft cock was slowly expelled from the sweetness of the boy. They lay for some time refusing to release their hold on one another. They were one. For the rest of the week, they never wore clothes; they explored the island, the waterfalls, the lagoon with their friend the dolphin, and the endless beaches. They hugged and loved throughout the days and nights, in the bed, on the sand, in the water and even with the dolphin circling them as the made love in the moonlight. A darkness began to surface as the final day approached. Philip had no idea how he could ever let the boy go. He loved him completely and with abandon with a love deeper and more special than he had ever known. He could not bare the idea of leaving. On the last morning, after their final night of lovemaking, Philip woke. He reached for Sean and found a note. His heart sunk. `Philip,' it started. `I'm gone. I couldn't bear to say good-bye. I love you and always will. It was beyond words, this last week. I don't know why our paths became so completely entwined, but I am eternally thankful that they did. No mater where my life takes me, you'll be with me. Like the dolphins who mate for life, you and I will always have this week, will always be part of one another. I can't stand the pain of leaving, of parting, but I know you have your life, a wife, and I know that the type of man you are, you could never just walk away from those responsibilities. My leaving was the only way. Remember me.' It was simply signed, `Sean.' Philip crumpled the letter in his hand as his heart sunk. A hole would stay in his heart forever, a place where a sweet boy had made him live again, had given him a perfect moment for the rest of his life -- a taste of paradise. Later that morning before the boat picked him up, he walked down to the lagoon and watched the dolphin splashing in front of him. He seemed to know, he seemed to sympathize, he felt the heartache. Philip said goodbye. End.
