A River of Time

The second time Ned comes over, I suggest we move on and Jack agrees. We mount up and set off at a good clip, Ned in his glory. I enjoy all aspects of the ride, save one. I enjoy being astride a good horse on a fine day, I enjoy being alongside the man I love, but I dislike the fact of where we’re headed.


After some fast miles, we stop once more, water ourselves and the horses, and I am sorely tempted to make a move on Jack. His pleasant talk has made him seem willing, but I know not to trick myself because desire can blind a man. Holding my dick as I piss, Jack doing the same a few yards away, the temptation grows. When I finish going, I stroke myself and start getting hard, and how I want Jack to be doing the same. I glance over and see him buttoning up, so I do, too.
