RAILWAY ROMANCE

Part 1

Scene : A heritage railway somewhere in England


The Hunslet Austerity locomotive stood gleaming at the head of its three
coach train that Saturday afternoon. It blew off steam, ready to depart,
but James didn't pay it any attention. Today, instead of steam locomotives,
James was more interested in the man in the station master's uniform.

Luke was chatting to the train guard when he noticed the teenager looking
towards him. "It's that boy again," he thought. "He was hanging around
earlier." Luke checked his pocket watch and the guard stood ready with his
green flag. "The train's about to depart. You'd better get on now, son,"
Luke shouted to the boy.

James shook his head. "No, I'm not getting this train."

Luke shrugged and turned back to the guard. The guard blew his whistle and
then waved his flag at the driver. There was a much louder whistle from the
locomotive and the guard stepped onto the train. "See you later, Sid," Luke
said as the first chuff sounded from the locomotive. Slowly the train began
to move forward.

James watched the train depart but then looked back at the man walking
towards him.

"You know that the next train isn't for 45 minutes, don't you?" Luke said
as he gave James a friendly smile.

"Yeah but the pannier tank will be pulling the next train and I want to
travel behind it," replied James. Luke nodded and was about to move away
when James went on. "Plus I wanted to talk to you."

"Talk to me?" Luke looked puzzled. "What about?"

"About becoming a volunteer. I'd like to work on the railway," James
explained.

"Okay. We're always happy to get volunteers," smiled Luke. "I have a couple
of leaflets I can give you. Come inside out of the cold wind and we can
talk."

"Great!" James grinned and followed Luke into the station building.

Luke waved at the elderly man behind the ticket counter and led James into
his office. There he took off his peaked cap, put it on the desk and went
over to a rack of leaflets. James stood admiring the man. Luke was 10 cm (4
inches) taller than him at 180 cm (5ft 11in) with blue-grey eyes and neat
silver-grey hair. James thought the man was very handsome.

"Here you go," Luke said as he held two leaflets out towards
James. "There's a general information leaflet about volunteering and one
for juniors like yourself. You will have to wait a few years if you want to
work on the locos but there are plenty of useful jobs you can help with on
the railway."

James started looking the leaflets while Luke spoke. "It says here that the
Young Persons Group is for those up to age sixteen. I'm eighteen...well,
almost eighteen," he said.

"I'm very sorry. I thought you were younger," said Luke.

James smiled. "It's okay. That happens to me a lot."

Luke was relieved that he hadn't upset the teenager. "The opposite happens
to me. People see my grey hair and assume I must be in my fifties at
least."

James laughed. "I don't think you look anything like fifty."

"Thanks. I'm only forty...well, almost forty-one," smiled Luke. "My name is
Luke Robertson. Take a seat. You know that you have to be a member of the
society to be a volunteer, don't you?"

"I'm James Potter and I've been a member for over a year," James replied.

"That's good," said Luke. "Have you thought about what kind of work you
would like to be involved in?"

"I'd like to work in a station, preferably this one," said James.

"This one?" Luke smiled.

James nodded. "Yes, with you. I've seen you a few times over recent weeks
and you always seem so calm and efficient. Always knowing the answer when
people have questions. I think it would be great to learn from you."

"I'm flattered but I'm not anything special," said Luke. "Any of the others
could teach you."

"There is another reason I would like to work with you, Luke." James took a
deep breath. "I saw you at the Pride March in the city last Saturday and
I'm gay too."

Luke gasped and then quickly recovered. "You don't need to work with me
because you're gay. The railway has a policy of being open to all."

"Maybe, but I find you very attractive. I fancied you the first time I saw
you and that was before I saw you at Pride and discovered that you are gay
like me," said James. "You didn't seem to be with anyone special that day
so I'm hoping you're single."

"I am single, James, but you're so much younger than me," Luke protested.

James shook his head. "Age is just a number. Please judge me on who I am
and not on my age. If we work together, you can get to know me." Luke sat
silently, looking at James. "Unless you think I'm too annoying to ever
become a friend, let alone something more," concluded James.

Luke smiled. "I don't know about annoying but you're certainly
surprising. I've never had a young guy come up and tell me he fancies me
before."

"I can't believe that!" stated James.

Luke gave a little laugh. "Well, maybe in a gay bar but definitely not on
the railway...and I'm pretty sure never anyone under eighteen."

"You know that sixteen is the legal age," said James. "And I'm pretty sure
that other gay boys who have seen you while visiting the railway must have
thought you were hot."

"Okay. Getting back to business, I am not in charge of staff rosters so you
could be sent to any station on the line," Luke said. "You're almost
certain to start work down the line, probably where we connect with the
main line station. It's much busier there."

"But you could request to have me here, couldn't you?" James suggested. "I
live within walking distance and you could tell whoever organises things
that you know me."

"I don't really know you though, do I?" said Luke.

"We could meet up for a chat later when you're off duty," smiled James.

"You're very persistent," laughed Luke.

"It took me a lot of courage to speak to you and tell you how I felt," said
James. "I'm not going to give up now."

Luke smiled and shook his head. "I have a prior engagement - a family thing
- this evening but maybe we could meet up for a chat sometime next week."

"Not tomorrow?" James asked.

"I'm working here again tomorrow," said Luke.

"Oh." James looked dejected. "Okay. I'll give you my phone number and you
can call me to arrange a meeting when you're free. Can I borrow a pen?"

"Just tell me your number and I'll enter it into my contacts now,"
responded Luke.

James smiled, more confident now that Luke would call him. He pulled his
own phone out and said, "Tell me your number and I'll send you a text." He
typed Luke's number into his phone and sent a message - "Hello from James
x" - and asked, "May I take a photo of you?"

"I suppose so," Luke replied, smiling as he read the text message, and then
looking up at the teenager. He wondered if he should ask to take a photo of
James but decided against it.

"Very nice, thanks," said James. "I can look at that later...in bed." He
winked at Luke.

"Too much information," laughed Luke. "Are you always this forward?"

"No," replied James. "I have never made a pass at or flirted with anyone
before. You're special."

"Special? Yeah, old enough to be your father," smiled Luke. "I must be
crazy to even consider hooking up with you."

"I like the sound of `hooking up' and you won't regret it. I promise you,"
said James. "And please try to forget about the age difference."

"That's a bit difficult. I can't ignore the fact that you look about
fifteen," Luke responded.

James laughed. "I look older than that!"

"You think so? I assumed you would be in our Young Persons Group, didn't
I?" said Luke. "But never mind. You act more mature and we'll talk again
soon."

"I'm looking forward to that," smiled James.

The old man from the ticket office knocked and entered the room. "We've
made more sales than last week, Luke," he said, followed quickly by,
"Sorry, I didn't know you had company."

"Thank you for the leaflets and useful information, sir," James said. He
then left the room and returned to the platform to wait for the next train.

James saw Luke again a short time later when he came out to greet the
train. He smiled at him but did nothing which might embarrass him before
boarding the train.


Early that same evening James sent Luke a topless selfie with a text
message. "Hi Luke. Remember me? I'm serious about wanting to become your
friend. James x"

An hour later James received a reply from Luke. "Hi James. I have asked a
friend to cover the second half of my shift tomorrow so I could meet you by
the Town Hall at 2.30pm if you're still free. Luke x"

James sent an immediate reply. "I will be waiting at the Town Hall. xxx" He
smiled to himself as he put his phone down and wondered if the topless
photo had encouraged Luke to change his mind about meeting him the
following day.

***


James was pleased that the weather had improved. The wind had gone and it
was quite a warm afternoon for early June. "Not quite warm enough for
shorts but I must wear something to keep his interest," he thought. He
settled on a pair of black skinny jeans and a pale pink shirt with the top
three buttons undone. He took a jacket with him in case it turned cooler
but he had it over his arm when he was standing in the sunshine outside the
Town Hall at 2.25pm.

Luke had changed out of his railway uniform before leaving the station to
meet James. He wasn't sure how he was feeling about his `date' but was
suddenly both nervous and excited when he saw James in the distance.

James saw Luke approach and gave him a big smile. Then, when he got closer,
he said, "Hello Luke. I'm really pleased that you were able to meet me
today."

"Yes, well..." Luke scratched his head. "You intrigue me and I thought we
should talk. Let's go for a coffee at the cafe by the river."

"Whatever you say, boss." James walked alongside Luke and said, "I handed
in my application to become a volunteer worker to head office this
morning. I told the man...I think his name was Mr Reid...that I live here
and that I'd prefer to work at your station if possible."

"What did he say to that?" Luke asked.

"He said he didn't think there was a vacancy here but he'd check with you
and get back to me," replied James. "Well, he didn't actually mention your
name. He said the station master."

"Okay. What do your parents think of you becoming a volunteer on the
railway?" Luke asked. "I assume you discussed it with them."

"I'm old enough not to need their permission but they are happy about it,"
said James. "Mum said that she was pleased that I was going to be doing
something useful instead of just hanging around the railway. Dad said it
was a pity I wouldn't be earning any money but he thought I might learn
some useful people skills."

"If you take the job seriously, you will learn a number of skills," said
Luke.

"I am serious," responded James. "And I have something to show you." He
took his passport from his jacket pocket and handed it to Luke. "Proof that
I'm almost eighteen."

Luke took hold of the passport and looked at the photo and James's date of
birth. "I see that you will be eighteen in less than three weeks." Luke
smiled and added, "You look very cute in that photo," as he gave the
passport back to James.

James laughed. "I was only fourteen when that photo was taken. Are you
going to say I looked like ten?"

"Of course not," said Luke. "I would have said twelve."

James grinned and followed Luke to one of the outdoor tables at the cafe.

Over the course of the next hour, the pair shared information about
themselves. Luke learned about James's parents and older sister, about his
school progress and about his plan to become an electrical engineer. James
discovered that Luke was an accountant and that he had been a relationship
with a guy for almost twenty years. That had ended a year ago when Luke
found that his partner had fallen in love with someone else.

"Oh dear. That must have hurt," said James.

Luke nodded. "It did. It was a real blow to my self-confidence. Looking
back afterwards, I should have realised that we'd been drifting apart for a
while. I'm over him now though so perhaps it's time to look for someone
new."

"Someone like me perhaps," suggested James.

Luke laughed. "I wasn't thinking about someone so much younger but I'm
curious. Why on earth did you approach me? Surely there must be some hot
guys at your school."

"There was somebody from school...Tommy, a boy who has been my best friend
since primary school," James began. "We started fooling around when we were
about fourteen and progressed to occasional sex. Then he decided he prefers
girls."

"That must have been disappointing," said Luke.

"Yes. I've looked at other boys and even thought about some when I've had a
wank. Sorry, that will be too much information," apologised James. Luke
nodded but gave a big smile and James went on. "Well, most of them talk
about nothing except girls or football. I don't know anyone else interested
in railways or other things that interest me."

"What other things interest you?" Luke asked.

"History, which I suppose is related to my interest in steam railways and
how they developed in the olden days.  I did a local history project for
school last year and found that fascinating. And travel. I'd love to
explore Europe and Asia," answered James.

"I love travelling," smiled Luke. "That's something else we have in
common. But you haven't explained why you...erm, came to me and said you
fancied me."

James shrugged. "It's not easy to explain. Around the time I realised that
I had little in common with boys my own age, I began to notice men's bodies
more. I found myself being attracted to the older guys when I looked at
porn on the internet. It was just videos at first but then I started
reading stories about boys in daddy-son type relationships and knew that
was what I wanted. An older, experienced lover that could stimulate my mind
as well as turn me on sexually."

"I see. Where do I come into the picture?" Luke asked.

"I didn't think I'd find anyone locally but I started visiting the railway
more often at Easter," James explained. "I first noticed you on Good Friday
and thought you were handsome. Then I found out you worked at the station
most weekends. I always looked for you and even sneaked a few photos of you
to wank over. Sorry." James smiled at Luke. "I never imagined that you
might be gay but you seemed like a really nice guy as well as a really
handsome one."

"Stop. You'll have me blushing," smiled Luke.

"It's true," said James. "Then I went to Pride last Saturday and I saw you
there. I knew from the message on your t-shirt that you were gay like me
and...well, that resulted in more naughty thoughts." James grinned. "Anyway
I thought about you a lot and finally got the courage to speak to you
yesterday."

"I noticed you at the station a few times yesterday but I never thought it
was because you were interested in me," said Luke. "I'm flattered."

"Is the age difference a big problem for you?" James asked.

"Not necessarily. I'm here, am I not?" Luke smiled. "I've never thought
about dating someone a lot younger and I can imagine my mates will have
some comments but...well, let's get to know each other more and see how it
goes."

"That suits me," said James. "Hey, did you like the photo I sent?"

Luke laughed. "It was a surprise but a nice one."

"I'm sorry I don't have a six-pack. Just a very ordinary body. I have never
been very keen on sport," said James. "Seeing you in that tight shirt
today...you look great. Do you go to the gym?"

"You look fine to me. Very fine," Luke said. "And thanks. Yes, I do go to
the gym but only once a week. I started going after the break-up when I
realised I had gained a few too many pounds."

"You're certainly not overweight now...and I like your pecs," said James.

Luke glanced down at his chest and then smiled at James. "Thanks. Shall we
go for a walk along the river?"

They chatted about other steam railways they had visited, about favourite
locomotives and Luke told James about the model railway he was building at
home. James was tempted to ask for an invitation to see it but decided
against putting any more pressure on Luke. Conversation moved on to books -
James was an avid reader just like Luke.

Finally, with the Town Hall clock striking five, James said that he had to
go home. "I've really enjoyed chatting with you today and I hope we can
work together on the railway," he said.

"I have enjoyed today too," said Luke. "We'll keep in touch." He was
tempted to kiss James but just patted his arm when they parted. "I expect
I'll see you at the station soon."

"I look forward to that," smiled James.


"He's a nice boy...correction - young man," Luke said to himself as he
walked to where he had parked his car. "I think I'd like having him as a
friend but I don't know if it could be more than that."

James was more confident when he thought about Luke. "He likes me and he
used words like `dating' and `hooking up'. If he can stop thinking about my
age, I'm sure he will agree to be my boyfriend."

***


The following Saturday morning saw James back at the station. He wasn't
sure what to wear for his new role as station assistant and trainee booking
office clerk but finally decided on dark grey trousers, white shirt, his
school tie and a black sweater. He went half an hour earlier than suggested
by Mr Reid following a short phone conversation with Luke the evening
before and felt `butterflies in his stomach' when he saw Luke standing in
front of the office.

"Welcome, James." Luke smiled and formally greeted the teenager with a
handshake. "I'm happy to have you as a member of my staff."

"I'm very happy to be here, sir," responded James.

Luke laughed. "Call me Luke even when we're working. Things are very
informal here. Come inside. You need to read some essential Health & Safety
information."

"I'm glad you persuaded Mr Reid to let me work with you," James said. "I
was very happy when he phoned on Wednesday and told me to report here."

"As you said, working together will give us a chance to know each other
better," smiled Luke. "Now read through that information and sign the
bottom of the page before you receive your name badge."

James smiled. "I've got a name badge?"

"Yes...and if you last a few weeks we will see about getting you a
uniform," said Luke.

James read through the Health & Safety rules and then signed to acknowledge
that he'd read and understood them. Luke pinned the name badge to his
sweater and then showed him around the building. When they reached the
booking office, Luke said, "Fred will be here very soon. He's our regular
ticket guy and you saw him briefly last week."

"What should I do today?" James asked.

"Your first job can be to write the train departure times on the blackboard
outside," replied Luke. Then you can sit beside Fred and get to know the
different fares as he serves our customers."

James really enjoyed his first day as a volunteer. He had lunch with Luke
and he answered a few questions about the trains from travellers on the
platform. Fred, who hadn't been keen on working with teenagers in the past,
told Luke that he was a pleasure to work with and that made him happy.

"You did really well today. I'm proud of you," Luke told James when the
last train had gone and they were closing down.

"I had fun," said James. "I'm already looking forward to working tomorrow."

"We don't like to overwork our new volunteers," Luke said. "Take things
easy at home and come back next Saturday."

"But I want to come back tomorrow." James managed to avoid pouting.

"I'll get told off for putting you under pressure," said Luke. When he saw
James frown, he said, "Let's compromise. Sunday afternoons can be busy so
you can start at one o'clock."

"Thanks!" James grinned and hugged Luke. Then he pulled back, still smiling
when he apologised.

"It's okay this time. Fred didn't see us," said Luke. "We need to be
careful in public."

"I understand. I'd never want to embarrass the station master," James
said. He looked around and then said, "Can you do me a favour? Take me into
your office and give me a kiss."

"I don't know..."

"Please!" begged James.

Luke hesitated for a moment and then agreed. The pair went inside and James
told Luke that he'd never been kissed by another guy. "Tommy wasn't into
kissing."

Luke locked the office door, pulled down the window blind and then took
James in his arms. Their lips gently touched and then Luke gave James
another, more pressured, kiss. James kissed back and then Luke's tongue
found its way between James's lips.

They pulled apart and smiled nervously at each other. "Was that okay?" Luke
asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" James smiled and nodded towards the tent in his
trousers.

Luke laughed. "I'm glad you liked it but that's all you're getting today."
He unlocked the office door. "I need to get the cash to head office and you
need to get home.

"Okay but I'll be thinking about you in bed tonight," grinned James. He
sighed and looked up at the ceiling as he clutched his chest and said,
"I've been kissed by a very sexy man."

Luke laughed again. "Out! I'll see you tomorrow."

***


James was kept busier at the station on Sunday afternoon but he was
delighted when one of the drivers invited him into the cab of the visiting
`West Country' class locomotive. He, rather than Luke, took over in the
ticket office when Fred took a break. He only had three customers during
that period but he was pleased that he could deal with them without
assistance. James also found some time to watch and learn from Luke when he
dealt with a customer kicking up a fuss over missing his train when it was
entirely the customer's fault. "I enjoyed today. Do I get a goodbye kiss
now?" he asked Luke at the end of his shift.

"Yes, but that is Fred's duty now," replied Luke.

"What? Oh..." James started laughing. "I don't think Fred is interested in
me that way."

Luke nodded. "You're right...and his wife probably wouldn't be too happy."
He grinned at James.

"So..." James closed the office door. "Will you give me a kiss?"

"I suppose you deserve some reward...since we're not paying you." Luke
crossed over to James and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

James frowned. "Is that it? I want a proper kiss." He had hardly finished
speaking when Luke grabbed him and gave him a long, passionate kiss.

"Wow!" James smiled. "I liked that."

Luke laughed. "Do you have time for a coffee or do you have to rush home?"

"I'm in no hurry but don't you have to take the cash to head office?" James
responded.

Luke shook his head. "Fred has offered to do that as he's going into the
city."

"In that case, I'd love to have a coffee with you," smiled James.


A short time later they were back at the cafe by the river. Luke chose it
because it was generally quiet at that time of day and they could talk
without being overheard.

"You did really well today...and I'm enjoying having you around," Luke told
James.

"It's good fun," said James. "I'm thinking of doing one day during the week
as well as weekends when I finish school in a few weeks. Dad has arranged a
part-time job for me so that I can earn some money until I start at
university but I will still have plenty of free time."

"I can only work weekends because of my job," said Luke. "Fred often works
on Wednesdays though."

"Okay," said James. "Maybe I can arrange to work on the railway on
Wednesdays. It won't be the same without you but I know we can't be
together all the time." He paused and then added, "I was thinking about
joining a gym and getting fitter. Could I go to your gym?"

"I don't see why not. Membership is open to everyone over sixteen," replied
Luke.

"And can I go along with you? I don't really fancy going on my own." James
smiled and added, "Plus I'd like to see you in shorts."

Luke laughed. "I should have guessed you had an ulterior motive."

James grinned. "I'm hoping there are communal showers."

"Well, I have to disappoint you there. It's individual showers," Luke said.

"That's a pity," smiled James. "I should still be able to see some
semi-naked flesh in the changing room."

"You want to see other guys semi-naked?"

"No - only you," replied James.

Luke smiled and then asked, "Do your parents know that you are gay?"

"I'm not sure. I haven't discussed it with them but they know I've never
had a girlfriend," replied James. "They have probably worked it out. Anyway
I can't see it being a problem. They are very open-minded."

"They might not be so open-minded about you having a much older boyfriend,"
remarked Luke.

James smiled. "You are thinking about being my boyfriend. Nice!"

"Just thinking. It would be a big step for both of us and we still hardly
know each other," said Luke.

"I know how I feel about you but I accept that other people are likely to
comment on the age gap." James put his hand on top of Luke's. "You would
probably receive the most hostile reaction and I am sorry about that. I can
only promise to love you and do my best to make you happy."

Luke put his other hand on top of James's and squeezed it. "You're very
sweet. I might miss you when you're away at university."

"I've got an offer of a place at the university only twenty miles away and
I have decided to travel daily rather than live on campus," said James. "I
made that decision on financial grounds but it also means I could still see
you regularly."

"That's good news," smiled Luke. He squeezed James's hand again. "Would
you...erm, like to have dinner with me this evening?"

James grinned. "I'd love to."

"We could go to a restaurant or maybe you'd like to risk my cooking," said
Luke.

"I'd love to have you cook for me and I'm not a fussy eater," smiled
James. "I'd also like to see where you live."

"Okay, let's go," said Luke. James phoned his parents to say that he
wouldn't be home for dinner while they walked to the car park.

Luke drove them to a fairly new riverside development on the edge of
town. "I have a two-bedroom apartment on the third floor," he told James as
they walked towards the entrance to the nearest building. An old woman
joined them in the lift so they didn't speak again until Luke was preparing
to open his front door. "I wasn't planning on having a visitor so please
excuse the mess," Luke said.

There was a railway magazine on the sofa and a couple of books on the
coffee table. "What mess? You should see my bedroom," said James.

"Maybe one day," smiled Luke.

James grinned and walked over to the large picture window. "You have a
great view...and a balcony. Very nice."

"Thanks. I'll just check what's in the fridge." Luke disappeared into the
kitchen. James looked around the living room and then joined Luke. "Do you
like spaghetti bolognese? I don't have enough chicken for two."

"I love pasta and spaghetti bolognese is one of my favourite dishes,"
replied James. "Can I watch you cooking?"

"I'm not used to an audience but yes." Luke took minced beef from the
kitchen and then a jar of pasta sauce from the cupboard. "Now you see I'm
cheating by use ready-made sauce."

"My mum uses them too. It's so much quicker than making a sauce from
scratch," said James.

"That's my excuse," smiled Luke. "I sometimes add other vegetables
though. Let's see what I have." He returned to the fridge and brought out a
carrot and half a courgette. "These will do."

James watched as Luke chopped up the vegetables and lightly fried them
before browning the minced beef. "I should learn to cook," he said.

"You should. It's a useful skill," responded Luke. He added the sauce to
the pan and then went to get the pasta. "Oops. Not enough spaghetti. I hope
you don't mind penne instead."

"I love penne," smiled James.

"It's too early to start cooking the pasta but I'll prepare the salad."
Luke smiled and added "Next time you come for dinner I will be more
organised and cook you something special."

"Wow. You are already planning to invite me back. I think you like me, Mr
Robertson." James grinned.

Luke laughed. "The secret is out. Yes, I do quite like you."

James noted the wine rack in the corner of the kitchen. "I bet you normally
have a glass of wine while you're cooking. Don't let me stop you."

"No wine for me until later. I'm going to drive you home," said Luke.

"No. I will get a taxi home," James said. "I insist. You've had a busy day
and I'm not going to stop you relaxing and enjoying yourself now."

"Okay. If you're sure," said Luke. "Maybe you'd like to join me in a glass
of wine?"

"If it's red wine, yes please," replied James. "I'm allowed wine with meals
at home."

Luke opened a bottle of Chianti and poured two glasses. He raised his
glass. "Here's to friendship!"

"To friendship and maybe more," smiled James.

The pair chatted about many different subjects. There were no awkward
silences and Luke realised that the age gap wasn't the problem he feared,
except when it came to the attitude of other people.

At nine o'clock James said, "I don't want to leave but I suppose I should
head home now."

Luke smiled. "I've really enjoyed this evening but all good things have to
come to an end."

"Do they have to though?" James asked. Then he smiled and said, "At least I
can now ask for a goodbye kiss." He moved closer to Luke who hugged him and
then kissed him. They were kissing again when James put a hand on Luke's
upper thigh and let it slide slowly towards the man's crotch. He was almost
touching Luke's cock when he was stopped.

"No, James. It's too soon to do anything sexual," said Luke.

James frowned. "Not even touching?"

"It might not stop there," Luke answered. "It would be easy to get carried
away."

"Supposing I want to get carried away? Carried into your bedroom and have
you make love to me." James was frustrated.

Luke took hold of James's hands. "I really like you, James. I really
do...and yes, I think I could fall in love with you. We have to be
realistic though. I'm old enough to be your father. I..."

James interrupted to say, "Stop going on about the age thing."

"I can't help it," said Luke. "Anyway it's not just that. I've never been
one for casual sex. Either we stay just as friends - not friends with
benefits - or we work at establishing a relationship. Do you really see us
being a couple and living together?"

"I...I...erm, I hadn't really thought long term," said James. "I feel very
comfortable with you though. I like being with you and it's not just
because I think you're sexy."

Luke smiled. "Okay. We both need time to think. How about we get together
next Friday evening and we can talk about our feelings and where we see
things going?"

James nodded. "Agreed. I suppose we should meet somewhere neutral. The
riverside cafe?"

"Six o'clock?" Luke suggested.

They stood up, hugged and kissed again. "I'll call a taxi for you," said
Luke.


Part 2

It had been a difficult week for Luke. He had thought often about James,
and not just while trying to work out his feelings for the
teenager. Looking at a railway magazine made him think about James. When
cooking food, he wondered whether James would enjoy it. He'd switch on the
tv news and ask himself if James was interested in politics. He hadn't
thought much about the sexual side of any future relationship but he became
aroused when he looked at the topless photo James had sent him.

Luke tried to act normally when he'd met up with two gay friends for a
drink on the Thursday evening but they realised that he had something on
his mind and started quizzing him. He tried to say it was nothing but then
admitted he had met someone. He hadn't gone into detail, saying it was too
early to say much but that it could become serious.

James had been more positive about his relationship with Luke from the
start. Being a horny teen, he played with himself while thinking about the
man and, yes, he had cum many times in the process. He hadn't thought about
living with Luke instead of his parents before Luke had mentioned them
becoming a couple and living together but the idea appealed to him. Tommy
was the only friend who knew that he was gay and he was tempted to tell him
about Luke, but decided against it. He did however tell his parents on
Tuesday evening that he was gay. "I guessed that already," his mum had
said, giving him a hug. "It doesn't change how we feel about you," was his
dad's response.

On Friday afternoon James rushed home from school and spent some time
deciding what to wear for his meeting with Luke. Although he tried to
convince himself that Luke would want to continue seeing him, he knew that
there was a possibility that this wasn't the case and hoped he wouldn't
burst into tears.

"You're looking very smart for a visit to the cinema," James's mother had
said when he was about to leave home. "Is there someone special you want to
impress?" James blushed but denied it. That was his second lie of the
afternoon. "Well, make sure you have something decent to eat...and be home
by eleven," his mother concluded.

James was at the cafe early. He ordered a lemonade and sat where he could
see the entrance. His heart leapt when Luke arrived and he stood to give
him a wave.

Luke smiled as he walked over to James. "Good to see you, James. I see
you've already got a drink. Can I get you anything else?"

"No, I'm fine. Thanks," James replied. He couldn't take his eyes off Luke
when he went off to order a coffee for himself. "You look great in a suit,"
he said when Luke returned and sat beside him.

"Thanks. I've come straight from the office." Luke smiled and took a sip of
his coffee. "You are looking very nice."

The pair smiled at each other and then sat in silence. It was less than a
minute later before James said, "Please don't tell me you don't want to see
me anymore. I couldn't bear it."

Luke checked to see that nobody was looking and placed a hand on James's
arm. "I want to continue seeing you, James," he said quietly. "I've missed
you."

James grinned from ear to ear. "I'm so relieved. If there weren't other
people around, I'd hug you and cover you in kisses."

Luke smiled. "In that case, let's drink up and go somewhere private. Fancy
coming to my place for dinner?"

"I'd love to." James couldn't stop smiling.

A few minutes later they were in Luke's car. "Do we need to stop at the
supermarket?" James asked.

"No. I went shopping in my lunch break so there's a few things in the
fridge," replied Luke. "I was hoping you felt the same as me about us."

"Us. Are we officially a couple?" smiled James.

"Do you want to be my boyfriend?" Luke asked.

"Of course," said James.

"Then we are now officially a couple," grinned Luke.

James leaned over and gave Luke a quick kiss on the cheek. "Hey, not when
I'm driving!" Luke smiled while telling James off.

"Sorry, Luke. I couldn't resist," responded James.

As soon as they were inside the apartment, they fell into each other's arms
and kissed. They moved apart, smiled at each other and then kissed again.

"I need to change out of my suit," Luke said when they finally pulled
apart.

"Okay. Don't be long," smiled James. He watched Luke head for the bedroom
and sat down in an armchair. When he heard the shower running, curiosity
got the better of him and he crept to the bedroom.

The bedroom door was open slightly and James peeked inside. He saw the
king-size bed and stepped inside the room to look at it more closely. He
hoped it wouldn't be too long until he shared it with Luke. Then he noticed
the laundry basket just inside the door. He lifted the lid and saw a blue
shirt the same shade as Luke had been wearing minutes earlier. More
interesting to James was the pair of briefs resting on top of the
shirt. They were red 2XIST brand sports briefs cut in a revealing style
that James thought looked very sexy. The shower was still running and James
couldn't resist picking them up. He held the pouch to his nose and sniffed,
becoming aroused as he thought of it having been against Luke's cock and
balls a very short time ago.

When James heard the shower being turned off, he dropped the briefs back
into the laundry basket and hurried away. He couldn't stop thinking about
the briefs and Luke being naked such a short distance away so he was still
erect when Luke appeared wearing jeans and a polo shirt.

"I hope I still look okay," Luke said as he stood a short distance away.

"You look fantastic," smiled James.

"Well, give me a kiss and then I'll start cooking," said Luke.

James hurried over to Luke, hoping that he wasn't tenting. Luke held his
arms open and James said, "You smell lovely," before they hugged and
started kissing.

"Someone has a hard-on," Luke said when the kiss ended. He looked into
James's brown eyes moved one hand down and squeezed the teen's bum.

"I can't help it. You turn me on," smiled James. "And you touching my bum
is going to make me harder."

Luke laughed and let go of James. "We can't have that when we're both
hungry."

"I don't mind waiting a bit longer for food," James said, pressing himself
against Luke.

"Well, I didn't have a proper lunch today so I think I should start
cooking," responded Luke. "Come into the kitchen with me. You said you
weren't a fussy eater so I hope you like what I've chosen."

"What is it?" asked James.

"Duck and pork terrine with cranberries for starter and then fillet of
Scottish salmon for main," replied Luke. "I have lamb chops if you don't
like salmon."

"Terrine and then salmon sounds wonderful," said James. "I've only ever had
salmon from a tin before but I'm yours will taste much better."

"I certainly hope it will!" smiled Luke. "I plan to serve it with baby new
potatoes, asparagus and grilled cherry tomatoes. All okay?"

"Perfect!" James replied. "Can I do anything to help?"

"You could set the table if you like. Cutlery is in that drawer," Luke
pointed and started preparing the vegetables. "I have a bottle of rosˇ
wine in the fridge. Fancy a glass?"


Dinner, rounded off with cheesecake, went down very well. As they returned
to the living room afterwards, James said, "I'll be going out to a
restaurant next Thursday but I doubt the food will be any better."

"Thanks for the compliment," smiled Luke. "That will be for your
birthday. Are you having a big party to celebrate your eighteenth?"

"No. My parents offered to pay for a party but I've never liked them,"
replied James. "We're going out for a big family meal instead."

"I'll need to arrange something special to celebrate your birthday," said
Luke.

"I know what I'd like to do with you to celebrate turning eighteen." James
smiled and winked at Luke.

Luke laughed. "We'll see."

"Of course, we don't have to wait that long." James placed a hand on Luke's
upper thigh.

"Nice thought but I'm too stuffed to consider any form of exercise right
now," said Luke.

"Well, you could just sit back and allow me to give you a blow job," smiled
James.

Luke put his hand on top of James's. "Let's just relax and enjoy each
other's company for a bit. Actually we haven't talked much about sex. You
said have had some experience with your friend. Tommy. Would you consider
yourself a top, a bottom or versatile?"

"Probably a bottom," replied James. "Tommy and I usually stuck to blowjobs
but he did fuck me a couple of times and I enjoyed it. What about you?"

"I'd say versatile but more top than bottom," said Luke.

James smiled. "Then we're compatible. Whenever I have fantasised about
older men, I always see myself as the bottom." He paused and then asked,
"Do you have a big one?"

Luke chuckled. "Pretty big. I've never had any complaints. How big was
Tommy's?"

"We measured each other a year or so ago." James smiled at the
recollection. "His was 13 cm (5 inches) and only slightly bigger than
mine."

"Okay. I'm bigger than that," said Luke.

"How big exactly?" James wanted to know. Luke held his hands about 15 cm (6
inches) apart and then spread them wider and wider. James laughed. "You
wish!"

"I'd never find a sex partner if it really was that big," grinned Luke. "I
don't think you'll be disappointed."

"Can I see it...please?" James asked.

"It might not stop at just looking," suggested Luke. "Let's wait until next
weekend and then we can do whatever you wish. I know eighteen isn't the
milestone it used to be but I'd feel less guilty about having sex with an
eighteen-year old."

James put his hand on Luke's chest and softly rubbed it through the
shirt. "You promise?"

"I promise," smiled Luke.

"Okay, we'll wait. My hard-on isn't going to go away without a big
distraction though," said James. "Will you show me your model railway?"

"Yes, of course. It's in the spare bedroom." Luke stood up and took James
into the room where an L-shaped model railway was built along two
walls. "Because I don't have much space, I decided to model a narrow gauge
railway like those in North Wales."

"I've only ever seen the Great Little Trains of Wales on tv and in
magazines but this looks amazing." James bent down to look at the model
trains, the buildings and the scenery. Luke switched on the power and sent
a 1:76 scale passenger train off from one station through some countryside
to a harbour station on the other side of the room. "I love it. Can I have
a go?"

"Sure. I'll show how it works," said Luke. "You take the controls. This is
forward...and this reverse...and turn this knob to control the speed. We'll
uncouple the locomotive and have it run round and connect to what is now
the front of the train." Luke changed the points and guided James who then
sent the train back to the starting point.

James was pleased with his first attempt and was delighted when he was able
to swap locomotives and take the train on another journey. He asked
questions as he checked out the various locomotives, carriages and wagons
on the railway. "I really must learn more about narrow gauge railways," he
said after looking at some partly-constructed models.

"Perhaps we can go to Porthmadog one weekend and travel on the three
railways operating from there," suggested Luke.

"The Welsh Highland Railway, the Ffestiniog Railway and the smaller Welsh
Highland Heritage Railway, right? I'd love to go there with you." James
winked and added, "The nights could be fun too."

Luke smiled. "I'll check the roster at our railway and we'll arrange a trip
soon."

They returned to the living room where Luke told James that he usually went
to the gym after work on Tuesdays and asked if that time suited him. "Yes,
I'm always home by four-thirty," said James.

"Okay. We'll get you signed up as a member and I'll show you the basics,"
smiled Luke.

"I'm looking forward to you showing me lots of things." James smiled and
winked.

Luke laughed. "It's not a gay gym so you need to act appropriately."

"Don't worry. I'd never embarrass you," said James. "In fact, we can say
that I'm your nephew if you don't want anyone there to know I'm your
boyfriend."

"Thanks. The people I work with know I'm gay but I don't go around telling
everybody," said Luke. "I can imagine that people will disapprove of us
because of the age gap, rather than because we're gay."

"So we will only tell our family and friends," said James. "Hey, do you
want to come to my birthday dinner? I'm sure they will want to meet you
when I tell them about you."

"Can we keep it to ourselves a little while longer?" Luke asked. "I'm not
going to change my mind about you but I'm not ready to meet your whole
family."

"There will only be my parents, my sister and her husband, my cousins
Charlie and Janice, my Aunt Rose, Uncle George, two grannies and my grandad
plus Tommy and his girlfriend," said James. Then he smiled. "Yeah, that
would be quite frightening for you. I will tell Mum and Dad about you
sometime after the get-together and you can meet them first."

"My family is much smaller - just my mother, my sister, her husband and two
kids," said Luke.

"Are these `kids' older or younger than me?" James asked.

"Jeez. They're both older! Paul is 22 and Scott is 20," replied Luke.

James smiled. "Stop worrying about my age and give me a kiss."

At 10.30pm Luke called a taxi for James. "I'll see you at the station
tomorrow," he said as he gave the teenager a final kiss.

"I'll be there," smiled James before dashing out to the taxi.

***


James enjoyed his Saturday shift at heritage railway. Fred was more chatty,
more passengers approached him to ask questions, and other train drivers
noticed that he was a volunteer and chatted to him. Plus he got to be with
Luke.

James had his final school exam on the upcoming Monday so he decided to
spend Sunday on some last minute revision. He explained that to Luke who
said it was the correct thing to do.

On Tuesday afternoon Luke picked James up near his home and they drove to
the gym together. James completed the membership application form and paid
for a trial three month period before Luke guided him to the men's changing
room. There weren't many others around so James didn't feel intimidated. He
also managed to get changed without springing a hard-on, despite seeing
Luke topless for the first time.

James did some push-ups and leg raises, tried using dumbbells but settled
on the treadmill for most of the session. He kept an eye on Luke who
impressed him with his weightlifting before joining him on the neighbouring
treadmill but running on an incline rather than on the flat like
him. "You're pretty fit for an old man," he said when Luke called a halt.

"I don't know how you have managed to work up a sweat when you've done so
little," Luke joked. "We'll need to work out a proper routine for you. Now
let's grab towels and hit the showers."

They weren't the only ones in the changing room but, despite that, James
knew he was likely to get stiff if he looked at Luke while he undressed. He
therefore kept his back to Luke.

Lucky Luke was able to see James's perfect buns when the teenager pulled
down his shorts and briefs. "Thanks for the show. Nice bum," Luke whispered
as they walked to the showers with towels around their waists. James
blushed slightly and then smiled.

They showered in adjoining cubicles. James was erect almost before the
water ran hot as he thought about Luke's body. He closed his eyes and
wanked as recalled the broad shoulders, the sculpted chest and the flat
firm stomach. He thought about Luke in shorts and vest as he pumped
weights. "Such a hot man...so strong." He smiled when he remembered that
Luke had seen his naked bum. "I wonder what his cock looks like. He said
it's bigger than mine," James said to himself. Then he gasped and started
spunking off. He didn't know that Luke was doing the same next door while
thinking about him.

They stood with their backs to one another when they got dressed and hardly
spoke until they were outside. "Did you enjoy your first gym session?" Luke
asked.

"I did," said James. He suddenly felt more confident and smiled when he
added, "The best thing was seeing more of your body. You really are sexy."

"You're not bad yourself," grinned Luke. "I'm looking forward to seeing
more on Friday."

"Friday? What's happening then?" James asked.

"Well, you have your birthday dinner with your family on Thursday. I
thought you would like to have a birthday dinner with me on Friday and then
perhaps we could...explore our feelings a little more," replied Luke.

"Explore our feelings and each other's bodies?" grinned James.

Luke nodded. "You like that idea?"

"Very much." James smiled and got into the car beside Luke. They both
looked around to check that they were alone in the car park and then came
together for a kiss. James sighed when they pulled apart. "I wish it was
Friday."

"The days will soon pass," laughed Luke. "I'll drive you home now. Would
you like to go out to a restaurant with me on Friday or would you prefer to
eat at my place?"

"At your place! I want to be alone with you for as long as possible,"
replied James.

***


James couldn't stand still as he waited for Luke to pick him up. He checked
his watch again but Luke wasn't due for another five minutes. Sighing, he
wondered if he could persuade Luke to have sex before dinner.

Moments later Luke's car pulled up and James climbed in. "I thought you
might be early. You're looking wonderful," smiled Luke.

"And you are looking gorgeous and sexy," James responded as he fastened his
seat belt. "Thanks for the birthday message yesterday and for checking up
on me this morning."

"I wondered if you might have had too much to drink last night but I should
have known you'd be sensible as always," Luke said.

"I did think about announcing to everyone that I'd met and fallen in love
with a wonderful man after a couple of glasses of wine," said James. "I
didn't though." He gently squeezed Luke's thigh.

"You are in love with me? You never told me that before," smiled Luke.

"Didn't I?" James grinned. "Well, you know it now."

"That's good because I think I love you," said Luke.

"You think? I will have to work on convincing you," James responded. "I
need to be sure before we go away on our dirty weekend to North Wales."

Luke laughed and drove off. After a few moments, he sniffed. "That's a nice
aftershave you're wearing."

"Thanks. It was one of the birthday presents I received," James
responded. He went on to tell Luke about the other presents he had been
given.

"I didn't get you much but I hope you like it," Luke said.

"What is it?" James asked eagerly.

"You'll have to wait until we're home," said Luke. "I'm not telling you
now."

James groaned and shifted impatiently in his seat but he didn't want to
appear childish and complain. However it wasn't long before they were
inside Luke's apartment and the immediate priority was hugging and
kissing. "I love you, Luke Robertson," James said when they parted. "And I
like your aftershave."

"I finished work early so that I could shower and shave before meeting
you...and I love you, James Potter." Luke gave James a quick peck on the
lips and then pointed to the table where some packages wrapped in fancy
paper lay. "Happy birthday!"

James grinned and rushed over to the table. The package on top was an
unusual shape and it turned out to be a railway cap. "The first part of my
uniform," James grinned and tried it on. "It fits great." The second
package contained a black, old-fashioned of style waistcoat, similar to
those worn by railway employees in the past. Again James had to try it
on. "I love it. Thank you!" James kissed Luke's cheek.

"I want to get you a pair black trousers to match but I couldn't guess your
size," Luke said. "Plus I'd like to see you in well-fitting trousers. I'm
going to take you to a tailor for made-to-measure trousers after we finish
our shifts tomorrow."

"Isn't made-to-measure expensive?" James asked.

"You're worth it," smiled Luke. "Plus I benefit from seeing your shapely
butt in close-fitting trousers."

James grinned at that comment and then turned to the final, small
package. His grin widened when he saw what was inside. "Sexy underwear!"

"I have a thing for sexy underwear and I was hoping you might wear some for
me," said Luke.

James remembered seeing (and sniffing) sexy briefs in Luke's bedroom. "Yes,
I would be very happy to wear these...and to see you in similar
items. Shall I try on a pair now?"

"If you like," smiled Luke.

James looked at the three items he had received. "I'll decide and change in
the bathroom," he said, giving Luke a quick kiss as he left the room. Once
alone, James examined the three pairs of briefs more closely. One was a
pair of white 2XIST briefs in a similar style to the red ones belonging to
Luke. Then there was a pair of low-cut briefs that were see-through apart
from a triangle of material at the front. James thought the third pair was
the most daring because it was made of a black mesh material, which would
allow glimpses of his cock and balls, plus it had a round hole in the
rear. "I have to wear those!" James said to himself.

A few minutes later James stuck his head around the living room door and
said, "I have an erection which won't go down. I hope you won't mind seeing
me wear briefs in that condition."

"Not at all. It's to be expected," smiled Luke. He was sitting down which
was just as well as he got a shock when James burst into the room and stood
before him with his arms and legs spread, exclaiming, "Ta-da!" Luke
gasped. "OMG...I never thought you'd wear those ones today...if ever!"

"Do I look good in them?" James's cock was seriously tenting the low-cut
mesh briefs but when he thrust his crotch forward this had the effect of
pushing his cockhead above the narrow waistband. "Oops," he said. He
quickly turned his back on Luke and allowed him to see half his arse
through the circular hole while he pushed his throbbing cock back under the
waistband. He looked over his shoulder and saw Luke licking his lips.

James smiled and turned to face Luke again. "You like them?"

"You look fantastic in them! Very sexy," smiled Luke. "Step closer...and do
that thrusting motion again. James was delighted by Luke's reaction and
thrust his crotch forward, causing his cockhead to peak over the waistband
once more.

Luke reached out, put his fingers in the waistband and looked up at
James. "May I?" James nodded and Luke carefully lifted the waistband over
and down past the stiff cock until the briefs were just above James's
knees. "It's beautiful," Luke said as he gazed at the uncut 15 cm (6 inch)
cock. Then he smiled up at James. "You're beautiful."

James smiled, pushed the briefs lower and stepped out of them to stand
totally naked in front of Luke. "I'm pleased you think so because I give
myself to you. I want to make love with you, Luke. Take me...please."

Luke stood up, took James in his arms and kissed him passionately. Then he
lifted him up and carried him to the master bedroom. He laid James gently
on top of the king-size bed and smiled at him. "I feel so lucky to have you
in my life."

"I'm the lucky one." James smiled and sat up. "Now please strip off and get
into bed with me."

James followed Luke's every movement, licking his lips when Luke unzipped
his trousers. He took an audible intake of breath when he saw what was
revealed when Luke dropped his trousers. It was a bright green jockstrap
with AussieBum on the waistband...and the bulge was enormous.

Luke glanced down and then smiled at James. "Sorry. I couldn't stop myself
becoming erect after seeing you nude."

As soon as Luke had stepped out of his trousers and straightened up, James
said, "You look incredible...really hot. Please turn around slowly and let
me see the full effect."

Luke felt a bit self-conscious but he turned slowly as James had
requested. "Will I do?" he asked when he was facing James again.

"I think I've died and gone to heaven," smiled James. "I'm with a man who
has the most perfect body."

Luke laughed. "I might have an ugly dick."

"I doubt that but please let me see it," said James. Luke put his thumbs
into the waistband of the jock and quickly pushed it down. "Wow!" Luke
looked up at James and was relieved to see him smiling. "It is a big one!"

"Quite big," smiled Luke, knowing that his thick cock was over 20 cm (8
inches) long. "I hope you like it."

"I love it," smiled James as Luke climbed onto the bed and sat next to him.

Glancing at each other's cocks once more, they then hugged each other and
moved into a long, passionate kiss. As the kissing continued, they began to
caress and explore each other's bodies.

James was the first to seek out his partner's cock. "It's hot," he said,
gently squeezing while gazing at it.

"That will be the warm blood pumping up into it because you turn me on,"
smiled Luke.

"I want to suck it," James said. He slid off the bed to kneel between
Luke's legs. He smiled up at Luke before taking hold of the base of the
cock and then kissing the cockhead. He tentatively licked the cockhead and
then took it into his mouth and sucked. He felt some liquid flow onto his
tongue and knew it was pre-cum. His own cock throbbed and he sucked harder.

"That feels wonderful," Luke said in little more than a whisper.

James glanced up at Luke and then toyed with the cockhead using the tip of
his tongue. He went all around the glans and then focused on the piss-slit,
where he was rewarded with more pre-cum.

Luke put his hands under James's armpits and lifted him from the floor. "I
want to suck yours now," he said before kissing the teenager. Moments later
they were lying on the bed in a sixty-nine position sucking each other's
cocks.

James was very worked up by now and was leaking lots of pre-cum. When Luke
started fingering his pink pucker, he gasped and started spunking off. He
came off Luke's cock and said, "Sorry."

Luke eagerly swallowed every drop of the white cream. When he had taken all
that James had to offer, he licked and then kissed the cockhead. "Why are
you sorry? I loved that."

"I came too quickly," replied James. "I couldn't help it."

Luke crawled closer to James and kissed his lips. "No need to be sorry. I'm
flattered that I could get you so excited. Anyway it means that you will be
slower to cum the next time. I'm not finished with you yet." He kissed
James's lips again and then kissed his way back down to the still
semi-erect cock. Lip and tongue action soon had James fully erect once
more.

"Turn over," Luke said softly. "I need to make love to your beautiful
little bum."

James turned to lie face down and spread his legs. He smiled as he felt
hands caressing his buttocks. He trusted Luke completely and felt very
relaxed. He closed his eyes when he felt his bum cheeks being spread and a
finger gently exploring the smooth crack. He gasped and opened his eyes
when he felt Luke licking his arse crack. He'd seen rimming in videos but
he'd never experienced it. He gasped again and moaned in appreciation when
the tongue pushed into his hole and began tongue-fucking him. Soon he began
to whimper and then said, "Give me your cock. I can't wait any longer!"

"If you're sure," said James. "Give me your beautiful big cock."

Luke grabbed the lube which he'd placed ready and greased his throbbing
cock. Then he applied some to James's twitching entrance. He rubbed some
around the hole and pushed some inside. He finger-fucked James with one and
then two fingers. James began whimpering again and Luke saw that he was
leaking a lot of pre-cum.

Luke got into position. He lined his cockhead up against the pink pucker
and then, with his free hand on James's hip, he applied pressure. James
pushed back. Nothing seemed to happen at first and then James cried out as
the thick cock burst through his sphincter.

Luke froze. "Are you okay?"

James took a deep breath. "Yes. Just give me a minute." Luke kissed the
back of James's neck and then nibbled his earlobe. "I'm fine now. Give me
more," said James.

Luke pushed his cock deeper in small stages. James said nothing but his
head was turned to the side so Luke could see him smiling. "You've taken it
all now. How does it feel?"

"Feels great," replied James. "Now cum inside me and make me yours."

Luke began to fuck with short, slow thrusts and then gradually built up
speed. "This feels so good," moaned James.

"I want to see your face when I cum," said Luke. "Let's change position."
He eased his cock out and then guided James to turn over.

James pulled his legs back. "Please enter me again," he begged. He grunted
when the big cock bottomed in him and then smiled up at Luke. "I love
having your cock in me."

Luke smiled back at James and began fucking him with regular deep thrusts,
bringing gasps from the teen but also encouraging him to leak more
pre-cum. Luke didn't want to cum too soon so he varied the speed, direction
and force of his thrusts, and drove James crazy.

"I'm going to cum again!" warned James.

"That's good because I'm close," responded Luke. He began to fuck faster.

"Yes, harder," cried James. "Oh...oh...I'm going to cum!" James stared up
at Luke and opened his mouth wide.

Luke was really pounding into James now. James gasped and started spunking
off hands-free. At almost the same moment, he gasped and then sent the
first of several volleys of hot man-cum deep into James's arse.

They both smiled at each other, breathing deeply, when they finished
shooting off. Then Luke bent down and they hugged each other as they
kissed.

"That was probably the best ever for me," Luke said as his softening cock
slid from James's hole.

"It was definitely my best," smiled James.

Luke collapsed on the bed beside James and they smiled at each other,
holding hands.

There was a rumble from James's stomach. "I think I'm ready for dinner
now."

"Ah! I'm afraid what I had planned will take a while to cook," said
Luke. "Why don't I phone for something and I'll cook for us
tomorrow...assuming you want to come back here after we've finished at the
railway."

"I'd be upset if you didn't invite me back tomorrow," smiled James. "I want
to make love to you again tomorrow and as often as possible."

"Okay, what's it to be? Pizza, Chinese, Italian...?"

"Chinese, please," smiled James.


Part 3


"Do you have a free weekend coming up soon?" James asked as he was getting
ready to leave Luke's apartment. "I know you don't spend every weekend at
the railway."

"You've been following my movements, haven't you?" Luke grinned. "I'm
actually due to be off the weekend after this why?"

"I thought we might have a night or two in North Wales, visiting one or two
the narrow gauge steam railways you talked about before," replied
James. "School finishes this week and I have money saved to pay for a
trip."

"I like that idea," smiled Luke. "In fact, I could take a couple of days
off work and make it a long weekend away. I don't really want to drive all
that way though, and it will take at least six hours to reach Porthmadog by
train. If we travel up on the Friday and return on the Monday, we could
spend two full days travelling on steam trains and..."

"Have three nights together," James concluded. "Sounds great to me!"

"Will your parents be okay with us going together?" asked Luke.

James nodded. "Of course. I'll tell them I'm going with a friend from the
railway. They know I'm `steam daft' so they won't consider it odd."

"That's great. I've been to that area before so let me make all the travel
arrangements," said Luke.

"Okay but I insist on paying my fair share," said James. "I don't want a
sugar-daddy."

Luke laughed and kissed James. "We'll sort it out. Don't worry."

***


James re-arranged his volunteer shifts at the railway, had an end-of-school
party with some school mates and then eagerly awaited his first holiday
with Luke. Eventually the big day arrived and his mother insisted on
driving him to the mainline station where he was to meet Luke.

"Just drop me off at the entrance," James said to his mother. "My mate is
coming by bus and he won't be here yet. No point in wasting money on
parking fees."

"If you're sure that's okay," said Mrs Potter.  "Phone me if there's any
problem."

"I'm a big boy now, Mum," smiled James. "You don't need to worry about me."
He kissed his mother goodbye, took his suitcase from the car boot and
hurried into the station.

Luke was waiting inside with a big smile on his face. "I got an earlier
bus," he explained as he hugged James.

James was initially embarrassed at being hugged in public by a man but then
decided it felt right. "I will have to get used to be hugged by you where
people can see us, won't I?"

"You will. I might even hold your hand in public sometimes too," smiled
Luke. "Any objections?"

James shook his head. "None at all. I'm happy for others to know that
you're mine."

"Good!" Luke grinned. "We're going to have a fun few days."


They boarded their train and changed at Birmingham New Street station for
the train which would take them to North Wales. Luke surprised James by
producing a picnic lunch which they enjoyed as they headed for the Welsh
border.

James became more excited after they crossed into Wales. When they stopped
at Welshpool, he said, "There's a narrow gauge steam railway here, isn't
there?"

"That's correct - the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway," said Luke. "We will
pass close to another one - the Talyllyn Railway - before we reach
Porthmadog."

There were of course plenty other things of interest to see on the
journey. James got a thrill crossing the wooden Barmouth Viaduct, which was
over 150 years old, over the Afon Mawddach estuary. He later marvelled at
Harlech Castle built by King Edward I of England when he invaded Wales in
the late thirteenth century.

Eventually they arrived at their hotel which was within walking distance of
the mainline station in Porthmadog. James was relieved that there were no
funny looks or comments when they checked into for a room with a queen-size
bed. They were hardly inside their room when they came together for a long,
passionate kiss.

"Let's go see some steam locos," James said when they parted. "This" - he
squeezed his erection - "can wait until later."

"That's not something you say often," smiled Luke.

They freshened up and then hurried off to Porthmadog Harbour station, which
served both the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland Railway. They
knew they wouldn't be able to travel on a steam train that day but they
could witness arrivals from Blaenau Ffestiniog and Caernarfon. James was
amazed by the size of the Welsh Highland's Garratt steam locomotive. "This
was built in 1937 for South African Railways," said Luke.

Photos were taken of both locomotives and each other. "Time for dinner
now," James declared when the final locomotive left for refuelling and
maintenance.

"I know a good place which serves Welsh produce," said Luke.


A wonderful dinner was followed by a walk along the harbour and then they
returned to the hotel. "Do you know what I need now?" James asked.

"A cup of cocoa and bed?" Luke suggested.

James laughed. No. A good shagging!"

Luke smiled and shook his head. "Let's shower and make love instead."

It was a tight squeeze but they showered together. It was far from being a
quick shower due to the amount of kissing and touching but eventually they
fell into bed together. More kissing and caressing followed. No words were
spoken as they moved onto a sixty-nine position and started worshipping
each other's cocks.

Eventually James could wait no longer. "I need your cock inside me,
Luke. Fuck me and let me cum!"

Luke smiled and reached for the KY jelly. "I hope I have brought enough of
this stuff."

"We can buy more tomorrow just in case," said James. He pulled his legs up
and back to give his older lover full access.

"I need to do something before using the KY," Luke said, before diving
between James's arse cheeks and licking the hairless crack. It turned him
on to pleasure this part of James with his tongue.

James whimpered as Luke licked and then probed his arsehole. Being
tongue-fucked really turned him on. Pre-cum leaked from his
piss-slit. "That feels amazing, Luke," he said. Moments later, it wasn't
enough. "Please stick your cock in me. I need you to fuck me."

Luke greased up his cock and slowly entered his younger lover. "I love you,
James. I really do," he said before starting to fuck him properly.

The pressure on his prostate as he was being fucked drove James wild. He
moaned, he tossed his head from side to side and he pumped out more
pre-cum. "I'm close...oh...oh, I'm going to cum!" he cried.

Luke started fucking harder and faster. James gasped and started spunking
off. Luke erupted seconds later.

As they cuddled together afterwards, they exchanged words of love.

***


On Saturday they had an early breakfast and took the mainline train south
as far as Towyn. There they visited the Talyllyn Railway. They visited the
museum at Towyn Wharf station and then had a trip behind a small locomotive
built in 1866 to Nant Gwernol and back. They just had time to grab a
sandwich before getting a train back to Porthmadog. There they transferred
to the Ffestiniog Railway for a trip to Blaenau Ffestiniog and back. They
waited for the arrival of the Welsh Highland Railway train before returning
to the hotel to freshen up and have dinner.

They had a later start on Sunday when they travelled to Caernarfon on the
Welsh Highland Railway. They thought about having lunch in the town but
decided to visit Caernarfon Castle - another thirteenth century castle -
and have a late lunch on the train back to Porthmadog instead. As on
previous days, they ended the day by having dinner, a romantic walk and
then made love.

James felt a bit sad when they checked out of the hotel on Monday morning
but Luke had allowed time for them to visit the Welsh Highland Heritage
Railway - a short line near the mainline station - before they caught their
train home.

"This had been a marvellous weekend," James said as they neared their
destination. "The train stuff was great but I loved being with you more
than anything."

"I've loved it too...every moment," smiled Luke.

"I'm going to tell my parents about us. I want them to know I'm in love
with you," said James.

Luke took a sharp intake of breath. "I know they accepted you being gay but
how do you think they will react to your boyfriend being more than twice
your age?"

"Honestly? I don't know but I hope they won't freak out," replied
James. Then he smiled and said, "Nothing they can say will change how I
feel about you." He took hold of Luke's hand and squeezed it.

"Are you sure about this?" Luke asked as they drove to James's home the
following Saturday afternoon after their shift at the local heritage
railway.

"Yes! You look fantastic in your uniform," replied James. "They know I met
you at the railway and they will sort of expect it when we have been
working together today."

"And they really were okay when you told them my age?" asked Luke.

"Yes, I told you," said James. "They asked lots of questions and Mum
wondered if you might have been in her class at school but they were
fine. Well, they said they would reserve final judgment until they'd met
you but your age isn't a major problem. I know they will love you too."

Luke groaned. He hadn't been this nervous since his first job interview.

The flowers, chocolates and bottle of wine created an initial good
impression but the atmosphere was a little tense until they all sat down
for dinner.

"This is really nice, Mrs Potter," Luke said after tasting the chicken and
chirozo pie served as the main course.

"It is, Mum," said James. "Luke is a great cook too and he's going to teach
me how to cook."

"You cooking?" Mr Potter was surprised.

James smiled. "Yes. He's a good influence. A really nice person as well as
being very... handsome." He thought it best not to say `sexy'.

They talked about Luke's background and his job before eventually turning
to his relationship with James. "I hope you're not playing with my son's
affections. Is this really serious?" Mr Potter asked.

"Dad!" said James.

"An understandable question," Luke responded. "For me, it's very
serious. Your son has changed my life. I haven't been this happy for a long
time."

"We love each other," James said, placing his hand on top of Luke's.

"That's true," smiled Luke. "Our mutual love of railways brought us
together but we really enjoy each other's company. I know you must be
concerned about the age difference. It worried me too at first but when we
got talking we found we were on the same wavelength. Our weekend away in
Wales convinced me that we can make our relationship work."

Mrs Potter gathered the empty dessert plates. "Help me with the coffee,"
she said to her husband and the pair disappeared into the kitchen.

Luke and James looked at each other. "I don't know," said James. "We'll be
okay whatever they say." James's parents returned quicker than either of
them expected. "Well?" James looked from one to the other.

"You have been a different person in the last few weeks, James. Obviously
happier," said Mrs Potter. "Luke is clearly the reason so we think you
should continue seeing each other."

James rushed to hug his mother. "Thank you, Mr and Mrs Potter," said Luke.

"I think you can start calling us by our first names," Mr Potter said as he
held out his hand.

***


A couple of hours later, after they had made love in his apartment, Luke
turned to James and said, "Do you think your parents will approve of us
having a longer holiday together?"

"I don't see why not. What did you have in mind?" James asked.

"I thought we might take the Eurostar train to Paris," said Luke. "We could
spend some days there and a few days at a narrow gauge steam railway in
Normandy - the Chemin de Fer de la Baie du Somme."

"Paris - the City of Love." James smiled.

"So steam railways are not always important?" teased Luke.

"I love you more than any steam railway!" said Luke. "And I love the idea
of going to Paris with you."

The pair kissed again. "Then maybe after we return from France you could
move in here with me?" suggested Luke,

James squealed with delight. "Really! I'd love that!"

"Okay. Assuming we're still talking at the end of the trip, we can be
together full time and..." Luke didn't get to say more. James was kissing
him.


The End
