Levi’s lips were soft. He parted them slightly. It allowed enough space for the tips of their tongues to touch. Brandon resisted the temptation to be aggressive. He liked rugged, rough play in bed, but his instinct about Levi was to take things more slowly.

As Brandon pushed forward, Levi rolled onto his back. Brandon slid fingertips up under Levi’s shirt, and he pulled back from the kiss. “I don’t…” Levi grabbed Brandon’s wrist.

“Too fast?”

Brandon saw confusion in Levi’s eyes. “I don’t know. Yeah, I think so. I mean, who are you?”

Brandon said, “I’m Brandon Turner. I run a company called Arrowhead Adventurers. Should we wait? I can be patient. I’m sorry if I moved too fast. Maybe we should only kiss.”

“I can’t do this and never see you again. When a guy moves so fast, that’s often on his mind. At least that’s been my experience. If we went much further, and I didn’t see you again, then it would hurt too much.”

Brandon leaned in for another kiss. Levi didn’t push him away. He kissed back. Knowing that kissing was the limit for the night was somehow extremely erotic. Coming up for air, Brandon said, “Unless you’re planning on moving away in the next few weeks, or even few days, and I can’t imagine in my wildest dreams that you are, you’ll see me again.”

It was the right thing to say, and Brandon grinned to himself when Levi’s hand rose and slipped behind Brandon’s neck. Levi closed his eyes and kissed harder. He reached up and wrapped his other hand around the small of Brandon’s back before letting his fingers crawl further down. He knew the destination of those fingers, and he hoped Levi would be pleased.

Levi murmured, “It’s been so long.”

Brandon remembered seeing Levi’s bare chest in the daylight. It was perfectly structured, strong but slim. He wanted to slip his fingers inside the T-Shirt, but he couldn’t take the risk of driving Levi away.

“Oh, God,” moaned Levi, and gasped for a breath.

Brandon reached down to the side of Levi’s face again. “Is everything okay. Seriously, if we need to slow down or do something different, let me know.”

Levi reached his fingertips up to the corner of his right eye. “No, it’s just…”

“What?”

“I’ve never done anything with a guy like you. I don’t want to screw it up.”

Brandon settled back down onto the sleeping bag and scooted close enough that their bellies touched. It was an intoxicating sensation. “A guy like me? What am I like? I’m a normal everyday guy.”

“You’re so…beautiful, Brandon.”

“Oh, fuck. Nobody’s ever said something like that about me. At least they’ve never said it to my face.”

“It’s okay that I said it?”

Brandon leaned down and kissed Levi’s lips again. He snickered slightly and said, “Seriously, though, I’m a normal guy. I’ve got a fair amount of muscle because of what I do for a living. Hoisting those canoes and paddling across the lake is real work. Your body looks pretty damn good, too, Levi. I saw it out there on the lake. You should be damn proud of that.”

“I’m sorry. I’m a little screwed up in the head on that. I didn’t look like this when I moved here. It’s hard to see it sometimes when I look in the mirror.”

Brandon leaned so close to Levi’s face that they were nearly nose to nose. “Can I show you how incredible you are? I mean, I don’t really know you either, but I’ve seen enough. You’re such a good guy. You take care of an old lady for God’s sake, and you’re okay with that.”

“I love her.”

“And she loves you, and you drive me nuts, Levi. Just shut up and let me do my thing. Okay?”

Levi thought about saying something in reply, but then he bit his lip. He knew that he should probably say stop, but it was like being in the middle of a dream where you were going to get something you always thought you’d never have, and you started to think about waking up. Levi always wanted to stay asleep. He wanted to see what was going to happen.

Levi looked down and watched as Brandon pushed the hem o the T-Shirt upward. He kissed just above Levi’s belly button and reached down to unfasten his jeans.

Closing his eyes, Levi heard the zipper slide down. It was one of the sexiest sounds in the world. He was hard as a rock, and he hoped Brandon liked what he found. He raised his hips so the jeans could slide down to his thighs.

“Fuck, Levi! These are awesome, and they look so damn hot on you.” The color wasn’t as vibrant in the moonlight, but Levi’s briefs were bright, fire engine red, and they were an expensive brand. The fabric clung tight to the outline of Levi’s cock curving up and to the right. “How the fuck do you get these out here in the woods? I’d have to go back to the cities to find them in a store. They don’t come from shopping in Duluth.”

Levi laughed nervously. “Do you like them? I guess I kind of like underwear.”

“It’s fucking hot. Oh man, sorry about my language. It goes south when I get excited.”

Levi loved the compliment. “I don’t care. Yeah, the Colliers let me use the Internet to order stuff like clothes when I’m in Iron Crossing. The little store for groceries only carries jackets and once in a while a few sizes of jeans.”

Brandon grinned. “So I found the one off-the-grid guy who has a big fetish for underwear. Shit, I feel like I struck gold today. Don’t listen to anybody who tells you there isn’t a fortune to be found in the BWCA.”

“Because of my underwear?”

“Because of you, dumbass. I mean that affectionately. I’m going to make this one hell of a night for you, and me, too.”

Brandon watched Levi’s mouth open, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he closed his eyes, and a soft moan came out. It might as well have been a big, hearty, “Yes, please!” Brandon hooked his thumbs into the waistband of the briefs and pulled them down. Levi’s stunning cock pointed up toward the stars.

Brandon felt Levi’s fingers cup his ass cheeks and squeeze. As he stared at veins that laced their way up the length of Levi’s cock, he hoped the cock was going up inside his ass, but first, he needed a taste.

He wrapped his fingers tight around the base and gently tugged the foreskin down. The head was already glistening with precum. Brandon reached out his tongue for a taste.

“Oh…oh, man.” Levi’s voice was ragged as he slowly rolled his head back. Brandon glanced up to see Levi’s Adam’s apple rise and fall. It was sexy as hell. His nipples were hard, too and they pushed into the cloth of his T-Shirt. Brandon wanted to blow Levi’s mind.

He throbbed hard in his jeans when he slipped his lips around the head of Levi’s cock and sucked. He let gravity drop his face down so the cock slid deeper and deeper toward his throat.

Most of Brandon’s past sex partners didn’t expect him to be on the giving end of a blow job. They expected him to be an exclusive top when it came to sex. He assumed it was his forthright, direct personality, but the truth was he loved sucking. His mom verified an oral fixation in her son. She always said he was born that way. Levi tasted amazing, and Brandon couldn’t wait for him to explode.

When Levi finally caught his breath, he asked politely in a soft voice, “Can I fuck you?”

The innocence made Brandon crazy. He slowly slipped his mouth off Levi’s cock. “Oh man, yeah, please. Shit, though, I don’t know if I’ve got protection.”

“Oh, yeah, we need that,” whispered Levi. “I don’t have it either. I mean, the woods. Why would I need it out here?”

“Umm…”

Brandon didn’t know why Levi was talking so soft as if someone would hear. Even if Grandma Daley was awake, the back of the cabin was over fifty yards away with a solid log wall in between. “Can we rain check on that? I’m going to dream about this cock sliding up my ass, but I can wait.”

“Oh, yeah. Do you promise to come back?”

Brandon laughed softly. He knew he had a stupid grin on his face. Levi frowned and looked worried. “Oh, man, don’t do that. I’m only laughing because the question sounds so absurd to me. You blow me away so far, Levi. I mean…” He started to gesture around the clearing in the woods. “I don’t know how to say it, but don’t you see it? Don’t you see what a fucking unique guy you are? Don’t you have a clue how lucky I am?”

“I’m not sure what you’re saying.”

“You’re interesting, Levi, and a sweet guy with a good heart, and you’re handsome as hell. You’re the whole package, or at least that’s my best guess. You’re not just a dick hanging between a pair of legs with sex on the brain.”

Levi’s smile was so incredibly sweet, and he finally laughed a bit. “No, I hope not.” He paused for a moment before asking, “Brandon, can we just do this together?”

“What?”

Levi reached out and slipped his long, slim fingers inside Brandon’s jeans. He found the cock and began a very slow stroke.

“Oh man, let me help you with that.” Brandon unfastened his jeans and wiggled them down to his ankles.

Pulling Brandon’s cock free of his boxer briefs, Levi leaned in close for a kiss.

As their tongues twined together, Brandon moaned into the kiss, and within seconds his fingers found Levi’s cock. It was the most romantic thing Brandon could remember doing in ages. They lay side by side kissing and stroking. It wasn’t intense. It was gentle and passionate. It was Levi’s style.

About fifteen minutes later, Levi pulled back from the kissing and gasped. His body convulsed. He whispered, “Oh, I’m close.”

Brandon paused his stroking for a moment.

“Please, please, don’t do that. Don’t stop.”

Brandon grinned and started to stroke again. This time his hand moved faster, and he rode to the edge himself from watching Levi’s body tense as he teetered on the brink.

The two orgasms came almost simultaneously. Levi cut off Brandon’s howl with another kiss. He was not a lot more than a stranger, but Brandon had sex in the past with people he’d known only for an evening. Levi felt right, and he was a good man. Brandon knew that had to be the truth.
