Date: Fri, 28 May 1999 10:08:34 PDT From: Jon Subject: Nick and Jonathan Pt 8 stonewolf_@excite.com Nick and Jonathan Part 8 The Adventure Continues. Chapter Two: Jonathan could only smile as he watched Nick with his faced practically pressed against the large picture window of the first class compartment of the train as it traveled from Zurich towards Lucerne. He looks like a little kid on Christmas, Jonathan thought to himself. "Look at those mountains man!" said Nick. "The Rockies never looked like that." "Yeah" said Jonathan. "Just wait til we get down towards the Valais region in the southwest. You are gonna ski your rocks off". "Can't do that man, then what are you going to play with at night" said Nick smiling. Jonathan was happy as he could see the pain slowly start to leave Nick. He could see him almost changing overnight since he had pulled him out of his house in Denver. I'm changing too he thought. Looking out at the mountains in the distance, Jonathan allowed himself to become lost in his thoughts. For the longest time he hadn't cared about life or what he did. He had the money and power to do whatever he wanted. At 30 he was a child born of the freedom of unlimited funds. He buried his own pain of losing his parents by staying constantly on the move, doing things solely on instant decisions. Admittedly, buying a 747 was a little crazy , well more then a little crazy, but it had made him feel important and happy. He knew that he was pushing the people around him a bit by never really staying still, but figured why not... they were being paid at least 3 times what they could have gotten anywhere else, so they could deal with that. All of that had started to change when he started to talking to Nick over the internet. Now, a little over a year later, the love that had grown between them had metamorphosed Jonathan into a human being again, capable of feeling love not only sorrow. He still longed to travel but now he had a lover, a friend, someone to share his life with on those travels. Jonathan was jolted from his thoughts by a playful shaking of his shoulder by Nick. "Hey dude!" said Nick. "You in there man? We're here. Come on man.. down to Earth". "Whoa, sorry babe" said Jonathan, shaking off his thoughts. "Guess I was really out there wasn't I?" "Yeah a bit man." said Nick "You had a really serious look on your face. You were a long way away. Is everything all right?" Reaching over and giving Nick a hug as they stood, he replied, "How could it not be? I'm in Switzerland with you" "Awww" said Nick. "Love you too" As they got off the train Danny was already waiting with a taxi that would take them to the hotel. Getting in the back with Danny and Brian up front, they set off out of the Bahnhof(train station) and traveled along the road that paralleled Lake Lucerne out of the city. The changing blues of the glacial waters of the Lake were mesmerizing. Sunshine glistened off the snow covered slopes in the distance. The Wilhelm Tell-one of the larger lake steamers- was trolling along heading across the lake, making the scene look like a post card. Soon they arrived at an old fashioned looking building. Getting out Jonathan could only smile at seeing the wife of the owner coming out of the door to meet them. "Hello!" he said to the portly woman who was wiping her hands on an apron. Walking up to her he gave her a kiss on the cheek and a hug. "Welcome back Jonathan" the woman said in near flawless English. "But such short notice! Do you ever stay still long enough to read your mail?" Jonathan laughed she led the group into the lobby. Decorated in traditional Swiss fashion, many wooden artifacts garnished the walls and tables in the lobby. She led them directly into the lounge which was not open yet. Personally going around the bar, she returned with a bottle of wine and glasses. "Who is this?" she said looking at Nick. "Ah, Frau Eberle" began Jonathan as he walked around behind where Nick was sitting. Putting his hands on his shoulders he said "This is Nick. A very special friend." "I see" said Frau Eberle, smiling. "You know Jonathan, I have watched you grow up. Your parents brought you here for years, you came here to stay for a while after they died. You are like my own son. You can tell me he is your boyfriend" Jonathan blushed as he got swatted playfully by Frau Eberle as she chased him into a chair. Pouring them each a glass and looking at Danny and Brian who politely declined she poured herself one as well. Danny wandered over to look out over the property and parking lot thru the windows as Brian stood by the door. "Friendly bunch aren't they" said Frau Eberle. "Now now" said Jonathan. "You know why they are here" "Ja ja I know" said Frau Eberle. "My favorite traveling son, one of the worlds richest men, travels with protection. Well, here is to the protection of your love for each other. I see it in your eyes. May God and the spirits protect you from harm, the Fohn Winds and bad food" The three clinked glasses. The wine, from a local vineyard was heaven to Jonathan. He always relaxed here in Lucerne.Frau Eberle had been right. This place was a home to him. As she filled Jonathan in on what had happened since he had last been there, he was filled with a sense of peace. "Well, enough of me" Frau Eberle said, once more breaking Jonathan's thoughts. "I'm sure you want to get to your rooms, relax and then go to town. You have your usual room Jon; here are the keys. Your friends arrived about an hour ago. They are in the rooms down the hall from you. The whole 5th floor is yours. Do you still have your key to the park across the way?" "Never leave home without it" said Jonathan. The park, a family owned parcel of land some 20 acres wound along the shores of Lake Lucerne. Many hours he had spent wandering thinking, playing and just watching the mountains change color at sunset in the park. Jonathan led Nick towards the elevators Brian and Danny trailing not to far behind. They too felt the sense of peace and safety in this hotel. As they rode the elevator Nick slipped his hand into Jonathan's. "She really likes you doesn't she" said Nick. "Yeah she does" said Jonathan. "She and Hugo-her husband took care of me for a couple of months when I was out of it after my parents died. She likes you too Nick, I can tell." The elevator stopped and they proceeded down the hall to the very front of the hotel. "Ok boss, call us when you are ready to travel" said Danny. "Will do" said Jonathan. Jonathan unlocked the door and let Nick lead the way into the room. It was simply furnished with a king size bed a few chairs, a couch, two dressers and TV. A pair of doors at the end of the room were open and led out onto a balcony. Jonathan noted that the luggage was already in the room and he could see stuff already hanging in the closet as he walked by. He saw Nick out on the balcony staring at the lake. "So, whatcha think babe?" asked Jonathan as he stood next to him. "This is so incredible man" said Nick with awe in his voice. "I can't believe how beautiful this place is. I mean look at those mountains, the lake it is incredible!" "Not as beautiful as you" said Jonathan. "Be serious Jon" said Nick. "Look at this place". "I'd rather look at you" said Jonathan. Pulling Nick by the hand he led Nick into the room and wrapped his arms around him kissing him as they fell onto the bed. "Oh man!" said Nick. "This is a featherbed". "Yup" said Jonathan, running his hands under Nicks' shirt. "I love you man" "I love you too babe" said Nick, returning the kiss and running his hands over the bulge in Jonathan's jeans. As he unzipped Jon's' jeans, Nick moved down breaking the kiss and running his tongue over Jonathan's neck. Soon, Jonathan was naked and writhing on the bed as Nick wound lower with his tongue traveling over his chest and abs. Nick traveled lower to swipe playfully at Jonathan's hairy nuts before working his tongue down over Jon's ass crack. He pulled his legs high and worked his way deep into Jon with his tongue. "Oh God Nick, fucking do it" said Jonathan. As Nick pulled his cock out and prepared to enter into Jonathan he couldn't wait. Pushing slowly into Jonathan his cock was surrounded by a white hot wet heat. Jonathan could feel his orgasm rising as Nick slid his 8.5" cock slowly in and out of him. He looked out the window to see the snow capped Alps. He surrendered himself to the feelings building in his body as Nick started thrusting in and out of him faster. He reached up and pulled Nick down to cover his body; kissing him. "OH god Nick, I'm cumming" moaned Jonathan. His cock started spewing hot cum trapped between the two bodies. This tripped off Nick's orgasm who cried out in pleasure as he unloaded his cum into Jonathan. Nick slowly lowered his body back on top of Jonathan's; feeling the hot cum trapped between them. His softening cock slowly slipped out of the tight confines. Pulling the blanket over this bodies Jonathan could feel both of them slipping into a sleepy twilight. Chapter Three: Waking a few hours later, Jonathan found Nick sleeping on his side facing him. He reached over and ran his hands over Nicks body. Nick slid closer, feeling Jonathan's hands on him. He reached up and pulled Jonathan down for a kiss. "I love you man" said Nick softly. "I never thought I could say those words. Now I can't imagine ever not saying them." "I love you too Nick." said Jonathan, stroking Nicks back, feeling the pleasure of his body touching Nicks. "I was afraid that we could never become this close". "Well, we are" said Nick, kissing Jonathan again. "Come on go take a shower, I want to show you Lucerne. Its almost 4pm. We've been asleep for 3 hours." said Jonathan. Jonathan called Danny and told him a half hour. As Nick came out of the shower Jonathan kissed him and groped him under the towel in passing. Soon Jonathan was out of the shower and was getting dressed. The two went out the door and down the hallway. Knocking on the door, it was opened by Danny who was ready for the evening. "OK boss ready when you are" said Danny, locking his door. "Okies" said Jonathan. As the four of them went downstairs and out the door, as if by magic a taxi was waiting. The trip into town was a short 10 minute drive. Getting out of the taxi, Jonathan felt like a kid again. Here he was in the center of one of his most favorite towns-over 800 years old, with his lover. What could be more perfect he thought. Nick and Jonathan strolled around town, Jon pointing out various sights to Nick as they went. Danny and Brian followed at a discreet distance, keeping an eye on the two and talking between themselves. They stopped before the covered bridge called the Chapel Bridge, crossing into Lucerne's Old Town. Taking Nicks' hand they started to walk across. The trestles contained painting depicting the 1200 year history of the city in pictures. Crossing the bridge they walked down the street and across another bridge, the Bridge of Death, with pictures depicting death in all forms. Soon into old town the pair walked up and down the ancient structures. Winding their way back to town, they held hands talking about everything and nothing. Entering a restaurant at random, they dined simply on salad and fondue. Later on walking along the lake side park at night, the walkway lit by gas lamps it was like a magical place to both Nick and Jonathan. Brian and Danny kept a respectful distance behind, yet close enough to deal with any situation that might occur. Stopping at a small dock reaching out into the lake, Nick wandered out followed by Jonathan. "Like it here Nick?" asked Jonathan. "Yeah I do" said Nick quietly. "It is so beautiful, so different then anything I've ever seen." "I'm glad babe. " said Jonathan. "This has always been a special place for me. The beauty of this country is unbelievable. It has everything snow, sun, palm trees, you name it. Now for me it is even more special with you here." Nick reached over and kissed Jonathan. "I've never been this happy before. I keep thinking it is all going to end and I'll wake up to that bastard beating me" Jonathan hugged Nick for a moment then looked him in the eye. "Nick, I promise you, you will never be bothered by that asshole again. You will never be hurt by him again. As far as this ending, it won't end and I'll do everything I can to make you happy until you are ready to leave." "I never want to leave man. You have given me more happiness in, what? Four days? I can't believe it." said Nick "Then you never have to leave babe" said Jonathan, running a finger along Nick's jaw line. Nick smiled and looked at Jonathan. "Thank you" was all he could manage. "Can we head back?" "Sure babe" said Jonathan. The two walked towards the main street with their escort in tow. A fast taxi ride brought them back to the Chalet styled hotel. Entering the hotel, they were once more greeted by Frau Eberle who informed them that a welcome bottle of wine was waiting in their room. She further expected them promptly at 9 am for breakfast with her and her husband. Both men just smiled and agreed, each kissing her on a cheek, causing her to blush and chase them out of the lobby. Entering the room, they found their room lit only by many candles. Once more Jonathan was amazed at the Swiss family he had come to think of as his own. The candles couldn't have been lit for more then 5 mins. 25 candles lit the room gently. On the table a chilled bottle of the private reserve champagne from the family's own vineyard lay in an silver bucket filled with ice and water. Two frosted champagne flutes stood on the table waiting to be filled. In front of the glasses was a plate of strawberries covered in both white and dark chocolate. "She is out to make me fat, that's all there is to it" said Jonathan. "Yeah, but what a way to go" said Nick. Picking up a strawberry he lifted it to his mouth. Holding it with his teeth, he turned to Jonathan. Jonathan opened his mouth and bit down on the fruit while kissing Nick at the same time. The two traded pieces of the fruit in their mouth as hands roamed freely over each other bodies. Breaking the kiss, Jonathan broke open the bottle of champagne. Pouring two glasses, he handed one to Nick. "Where the hell did you learn that trick?" said Jonathan. "Hehehe" laughed Nick. "Didn't. Just felt like the thing to do". Sitting on the couch the two worked their way thru the strawberries and champagne. Sometimes kissing, gently running hands over each other, Nick and Jonathan slowly built up a sexual tension that would soon be released. As the candles burned low and the last of the champagne was finished the two slowly rose from the couch, undressed each other and fell into each others arms into the bed. Kissing and fondling, Jonathan soon brought Nick to a shattering orgasm. As Nicks load splattered all over Jonathan's cock he too erupted in a flash of pleasure. Slowly the two shared one last kiss as the night overcame them. Chapter Four: During the next two days, the two traveled all over the Lucerne and Bernese Oberland region. Jonathan showing Nick all of his favorite restaurants, mountain plateaus, and lake steamers. In between traveling around, the hotel owners kept them entertained at the hotel. Soon it was time to move on to Jonathan's favorite spot, Zermatt. Bidding a fond farewell to the Eberles, Jonathan and Nick, with the usual contingent of bodyguards left for Zermatt. Jonathan had convinced Brandon to take some time who finally agreed. During the train journey to Zermatt the scenery changed becoming more and more mountainous. The dramatic scenery caused Nick to once again become like a little kid. Changing trains to a narrow gage in Brig, the rack railroad slowly wound its way up into the mountains to the village of Zermatt. The train passed over mountain rivers and gorges. A new vista was revealed each time the train entered a curve or came out of a tunnel. It was twilight as the group got off the train. Here in Zermatt there were no cars no taxis, the whole town being car free. A horse drawn carriage from the hotel was waiting for them. Getting in they began the short trip up the cobblestone drives to the Hotel. As they drove up the narrow cobblestone lane they rounded a corner and a gasp exploded from Nick's mouth. "Oh My God, look at that!" he said pointing out towards the west. There, bathed in the colors of sunset stood the snowcapped Matterhorn. The clouds changing colors made it look as if the mountain itself was on fire. "Its amazing" said Jonathan. Arriving at the hotel they were all escorted to their suites by the hotel manager. After relaxing for a while they went down to dinner. While dining on rack of venison, the two made plans for skiing the next day, much to the grumbles of their security team. "Hey Jon," said Nick, "What do we do for equipment?" "I think that it is covered" said Jonathan with a smile, "You'll see". "What? we renting?" ask Nick, in between bites of an almost sinful white chocolate cake and coffee. Pouring the last of the wine with dessert, Jonathan looked at Nick. "You'll see". Chapter Five: Strolling around the quaint gas lamp village over a mile high in the Alps, Jonathan was drawn to one of his favorite places. Entering into the little bar on the square, Nick was amazed to see that the bar held only room for maybe 8 people and tables for another 10 or so. "What is this place dude?" asked Nick. "It's so cute". "My favorite bar in all the world." said Jonathan sitting down at a table. "Its small, its cozy and it has a menu that can only be seen to be believed." The waiter coming over to take their order, smiled and bid the two good evening. "Two Swiss Coffees and strudel" said Jonathan. In true Swiss efficiency, the food and drink was brought promptly. Taking a sip of the coffee Nicks eyes all but bugged out of his head. "Uhm.. got enough alcohol in here or what" asked Nick sputtering. Jonathan laughed as he sipped on his own. "Its a little potent until you get used to it. The coffee is made of equal parts of scalded milk, coffee, and Kirsch." "Warms you up" said Nick. Looking around the room, Jonathan's face suddenly lit up. "Ah there is my friend" he said. "What, who where?" asked Nick looking around. Following Jonathan's gaze he let his eyes travel to the floor. Sitting there was the largest orange striped cat he had ever seen. "Him?" asked Nick. "Yup Yup" said Jonathan,"actually her." Reaching down letting the cat smell his hand then rub his jawbone over the hand. Gently Jonathan picked the cat up and sat him in his lap. The cat recognizing a friendly lap, settled in contentedly. "This is Gretchen" said Jonathan. "She goes from hotel to hotel to bar to restaurant, stopping in at each one before settling in for the night at one of them. She gets fed at each place and generally knows the regulars. I was hoping to see her". A loud purr came from Gretchen as she kneaded Jonathan's leg as he scratched her ears. After a second coffee and a fond farewell to Gretchen, who was not all disposed at leaving the lap, they headed back across the cobblestone courtyard to the hotel. After saying good night to the security crew, they entered the suite. Walking into the center room, Nick stopped and stared at what appeared to be half a ski shop set up in the living room. "What gives?" asked Nick. "Our ski equipment" said Jonathan. "I don't always keep a set in storage handy, so I had Brandy call ahead to have the stuff delivered before he took off. I figured out that since you told me you skied black diamonds in Colorado, you could handle extreme skis here. This stuff is yours on the couch and mine is over here." "Jonathan, this is all Riachle and K2Swiss." said Nick, fingering the skis. "This stuff is expensive as Hell. I can't let you do this" "Sure you can" said Jonathan. "I told you that you are a part of my life. I have more money to spend then I could on both of us a dozen lifetimes over." Nick turned away from Jonathan and picking up his backpack, walked out onto the balcony. Jonathan slowly followed. "What's wrong Nick?" asked Jonathan gently. Nick turned tears in his eyes fell into Jonathan's arms crying. "Oh man," said Nick " I can't stay with you man. I'll never be able to repay you for any of this. You have spent so much on me already and I can't offer you anything. I didn't know who you were when we met, I ... I mean.. I made you something, but I can't give it to you, I'm ashamed." "Nicky Nicky" said Jonathan holding him tightly. "Babe, don't cry. You have given me something that I could never buy even with all of my wealth. You have given yourself and your love to me. That means more then anything. I would give up all of this just to be with you if you loved me." "But dude" said Nick. He was quickly hushed as Jonathan placed his lips on his own. "Nick, you are my lover, my life now" said Jonathan breaking the kiss. "Please understand. You are worth the wealth of the world to me." Slowly Nick sat down and reached into his pack and pulled out the small wooden box he had picked up out of his desk before leaving Denver. He turned and after a moments hesitation held it in his hands out to Jonathan. Jonathan slowly slipped down to the floor of the balcony as well. There, as the two sat on the stone floor, a silence enveloped them. Quietly falling snow started to fall around them forming a white peace around them. Jonathan opened the box to find a double stranded necklace made of beads and leather. "You made this for me?" asked Jonathan, his voice barely a whisper. "Yeah, but I feel like shit after all of this you have given me" said Nick. "Nick" he said, handing the necklace to him "Put this on me". Jonathan removed his jacket and opened the neck of his shirt . Nick slowly reached around and tied the necklace on him. As he started to sit back Jonathan reached for him, kissing him. Jonathan's tongue pressed passed his lips to duel with his own. The minutes passed as the two remained there, the quietly falling snow around them. Finally breaking the kiss, Jonathan pulled Nick to his feet. Holding him he whispered quietly in Nicks ear. "I love you Nick" he started. "This means more to me then any piece of gold or silver I could wear. It is something made by your hands for me. To me it is a sign of your love for me. It will never leave my body." Nick turned upwards to look at Jonathan. The two stared at each other and as if by silent consent both undressed. There naked in the falling snow the two embraced and kissed. Jonathan slipping to his knees began to slowly worship Nick with his tounge. Pushing him away, Nick likewise lowered himself until the two were mutually bringing each other to orgasm. As they finished, Jonathan turned and kissed Nick tasting his own cum mingling with Nicks in his mouth. "Be mine forever Nicky" asked Jonathan. "Always and forever" said Nick. The two continued to kiss as they rose from the snow on the balcony and slipped into the bed between flannel sheets and goose down comfort. Quietly holding each other and drifting off to sleep, both realized they had found their new lives. Together, bound by an unbreakable love, forever. *************************** My Thanks to all who have written me about this series.
