Mukgong headed below deck. He thought it best to keep his friends out of sight just in case someone was watching the boats. There wasn't much comfort below but that didn't seem to bother Jake or Janet. They were still sleeping soundly in each other's arms.
When the two first arose from their room for breakfast their faces were tired, relaxed, and happy. It wasn't hard to figure out what the two had been doing all night and into the morning. Jake's cry of passion probably woke up half the neighborhood. Mukong had smiled in the darkness because Jake needed some kind of a release. The man was just too intense when he first showed up.
Oh well, at least Misa had not wakened to hear Jake and Janet in the middle of the night!
"Jake!" he called in a hushed tone.
Jake's eyes instantly opened, startling Mukong a bit. He thought for sure he was going to have to give Jake a good shake to wake him up.
"Are we there?" he asked quietly.
"Another fifteen minutes," Mukong answered.
Jake gently slid his arm out from beneath Janet, being so careful to no wake her. Then he stood up and head towards the doorway with Mukong.
"Thank you, my friend…for everything," Jake spoke softly.
"I'm glad you two found each other. Just promise me one thing?"
"Anything."
"Be happy. Don't let anything take that happiness away from you."
Jake wrapped Mukong in an embrace.
"Don't be such a stranger, come back with Janet and visit us. You are both welcome," Mukong smiled returning the hug. "Perhaps next time I will have a sound proof room for you both!"
Jake's entire face and his ears turned bright red making Mukong laugh!
"I always knew you were a passionate guy, Jake!" he laughed, rubbing it in. "It's good that you don't hold it all inside!"
Mukong turned and told his brother about last night just to make Jake even more embarrassed.
