Chapter Fifteen

"Ennis, wake up." Jack reached over from the driver's seat in the truck cab and shoved Ennis's shoulder. The other man was hunched and asleep against the passenger side window. His breath hitched at Jack's touch and his eyes opened.

"Wha- what's goin' on?" He mumbled, sitting up straighter and looking around in sleepy confusion.

"We're comin' up on the Tomah exit. Then we just go up Hwy. 12 until we hit Warrens. It's a straight shot to our place, I was told." Jack informed him, the twang in his voice growing more pronounced in his excitement.

"Well that didn't take near as long as I thought." Ennis mumbled, scratching his head.

"Think again, Cowboy. You been out since some time last night and it's afternoon now."

"You been drivin' that long? Coulda woke me."

"No, I couldn't. I tried to rouse ya when I stopped for a bit to eat. You were dead to the world, friend." Jack laughed. Ennis shifted, embarrassed by his heavy sleep.

"Yeah well... never been much for travel..."

"Hey, this don't look too different from Riverton." Jack observed as they drove down the main street of Tomah, Wisconsin.

"'Cept for all the trees in town."

"Well, that's one thing you always complained about Riverton. No trees... just flat bare land for miles until you got to the mountains."

"Yup." Ennis nodded. He watched as they drove all the way through the small city, passing a line of shops and a couple of parks. Everything was still decorated from the holidays... the lamp posts, shop windows, the rotary lights up in one park. It looked like a nice place to raise kids.

"What's with that smile ya got goin' on there?" Jack asked.

"I dunno... just feelin' good we did this. Junior'll like it here, I can tell."

They drove and the buildings came fewer and farther between. There was lots of land still to be developed.

"Hey, look. We're in Warrens already." Jack pointed as they passed the city limits sign. They weren't but maybe a few minutes out of town when Jack turned a right onto a small gravel road.

"Shit... this is where our property begins. This is our private road," Jack said. They drove up a small hill and spotted their house at the top. Jack pulled right up and parked the truck.

They hopped out and took in their surroundings. From their house at the top, they could see all their land. At the bottom on the other side of the hill there were smaller dirt paths that led to the cranberry marsh and the different bogs. The bogs were all rectangular shape and full with the snow that had collected in them all winter.

Suddenly Ennis was tackled by Jack. He grabbed Ennis in a hug so tight he could barely breath and grabbed Ennis's head and pulled him into a fierce kiss. They parted breathless.

"This is ours... OURS. Together. We have a home together!" Jack exclaimed with bright eyes and a smile to match. Ennis couldn't help but smile along with him.

"Well, let's get a move on and get on in there an' see what our new home looks like." Ennis shoved him lightly. He shoved his hands in his coat pocket and looked up at the house, hanging back as Jack went up to the door.

The man who sold the house to them had said it was a small house, but it was bigger than any house Ennis had ever lived in. It was a two story, light blue, and had a large wooden porch that circles the whole house.

"We were able to afford this?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yeah... not much good without and up and working uh... marsh." Jack shrugged from the porch.

"Sure 'nough." Ennis walked up the porch steps and joined Jack at the door. He let Jack work the key and open the door. They were both slack jawed when they entered the house. They'd paid a little extra to have it fully furnished because they didn't know shit about interior decorating, but the house looked better than they had imagined inside.

"Holy fuck. It looks even bigger from inside." Ennis breathed, "It's real nice though. Almost feel like I gotta take off my shoes afore walkin' around."

Jack found a light switch and illuminated the house. There were no real walls... it was like the whole first floor was one room just barely divided by the different furniture. The floors were all hard wood and glossy. To the left of the door there was a four foot small divider to separate the entryway from the rest of the house. Left of the divider was a lot of empty space and a desk facing a window. At the very opposite side by the wall there was a fireplace in the corner. A large couch and two chairs faced the fireplace with a big fur rug right in the middle. Straight forward from the entryway went into the dining room with a heavy sturdy wooden table in it.

"Hell, Ennis... come look at this wood inlay in this table. This was hand made fer sure." Jack said, running a hand over the dining room table. To the left of the dining room was the kitchen, separated just barely by a wrap around counter and bar area. In the kitchen were the basic necessities and on the left wall hung the phone. Between the kitchen and the living room was the doorway to the bathroom and the entryway for the staircase that led upstairs.

Upstairs they found two small bedrooms, another bathroom, an empty room, an office, and their master bedroom (complete with king sized bed). Through their bedroom, they found one more private bathroom with a giant tub in it. The giant tub made Jack grin as fun thoughts bounced around in his head.

"Shit, this is all ours?" Ennis mumbled.

"Yep. It's all ours. A fuckin' real good life," Jack repeated the words he'd once used to describe what they could have had years ago. Ennis cringed with a small guilt pang that he hadn't been brave enough to do this long ago, but all was forgotten when Jack cupped Ennis's balls through his jeans. Ennis gasped in surprise.

"I say it's high time we christen this house. Whaddaya say, Cowboy?" He asked with a grin the size of Texas.

"I say that fireplace o' ours looked mighty nice and that rug... awful comfy." Ennis replied. They took the stairs a couple at a time in their hurry to get back down to the living room.

Suddenly, Ennis stopped in his tracks. Jack ran full force into him, not expecting the stop. They stumbled to the floor at the base of the stairs.

"Fuck" Ennis cursed.

"Yeah... fucking is generally what I had in mind." Jack laughed.

"I told Francine I'd call when we got here." Ennis reminded him. He remembered when he saw the phone on the wall near the bottom of the stairs.

"Well, hurry up then. Give me time to start up a fire." Jack stood and helped Ennis up.

"Thanks bud." Ennis turned to the phone and dialed.

"Alma, can I talk to Francine?" Ennis leaned against the maple counter top in the kitchen. "Well, I didn't think you'd mind or care, Alma. Dammit, Alma... it's not your business anymore where I got or what I do." He ground out. He found himself fiddling with the phone cord as he spoke. "Yeah... yeah, I know you just worry. But don't... everything's fine out here. Everything'll work out better now. Besides, now ya got someone up here to watch out for Junior. Yeah... thanks. Bye..." he waited for Francine to pick up the phone then.

"Hey Ennis! This sucker's electric! All I gotta do is push this here button!" Jack's excited yell came from the living room.

"That's great, Jack. I'm sure it'll provide you with hours of entertainment - oh! Hey there, Francine. Naw, Jack's just excited about a new gadget he found in the house. Yeah, it's a damn good house. Think you'll like it when ya come. I'll leave the bedroom for you to - - yeah." He felt hands wrap around his torso as Jack slinked up behind him.

"Tell her I say hi." Jack murmured as he started kissing Ennis's neck. Ennis shivered.

"Uh Jack says- oh you hear. Uh... so uh..." As Jack started caressing him along with kissing him, the blood left his brain and migrated south, filling another park of his body and making it very difficult to concentrate on the phone call. "Uh... yeah so... we made it. We're here and- gasp... uh...yeah... talk to you later. Bye!" He slammed the phone shut and turned to Jack, grabbing Jack's shirt and ripping it off. A few buttons hit the ground and went unnoticed by both men.

He attacked Jack's mouth, covering it with his own and running his tongue along the curve of Jack's upper lip, requesting admittance. Jack responded, parted his lips and letting Ennis's tongue in to battle with his own. Ennis felt Jack gripping at his shirt, which he had unbuttoned while distracting Ennis from the phone call.

Ennis moved towards Jack, pulling his arms out of the sleeves and making it easier for Jack to slide the shirt from his shoulders. Jack let his hand brush against Ennis's skin, a tingle running through Ennis's body.

He brought his arms up and started pushing Jack towards the living room, touching and kissing any part of Jack that Ennis could get access too. Not totally familiar with their surroundings yet, they bumped into a chair and were sent tumbling to the floor just feet from the fur rug.

Jack sat up and unbuttoned his jeans, pulling them off as he scooted towards the rug. Ennis followed Jack on his knees before tackling him and pushing him onto his back. He pressed his lips against Jack's then his jaw and worked his way towards his favorite spot, Jack's neck. He nipped and sucked at the skin where Jack's neck met his shoulder, eliciting a moan from his man. He ended the sucking with a small bite, making Jack jump and shiver a little.

Ennis's warm, wet mouth on Jack's hot skin sent shivers of pleasure down Jack's spine, straight to his groin. Laying a trail of kisses, Ennis worked his way down Jack's chest before running his tongue over Jack's right nipple. The shockwaves that shot through Jack's body nearly made Jack blow right then. Jack's hand went to the back of Ennis's head, pulling it closer, begging for him to keep going.

Ennis took the nipple, swirling his tongue around it, feeling it harden, and then moved to the other, showing it the same amount of attention.

"Ahh... ugh... fu- fuck. Now... Ennis c'mon..." Jack grabbed at Ennis's pants and frantically yanked them down. Ennis kicked them off of his feet eagerly, looming over Jack with fire in his eyes.

"Vaseline's still packed," Ennis muttered, starting to pull away a little.

"Fuck it," Jack put his hand on the back of Ennis's neck and pulled him back in for a kiss, his other hand sliding down Ennis's back.

"I'd much rather fuck you." Ennis smirked, grinding his hips against Jack before taking the kiss to a whole new level. Jack thrust back up against him, then had to tear his lips away to breathe.

"Well get a move on then, Cowboy." He said between breathes, shifting underneath Ennis to make himself more accessible. Ennis was about to prepare himself for entering Jack, but Jack beat him to it. As Ennis brought his palms up to his mouth to spit in, he gasped. Jack had wetted his own hands and was now using them to coat Ennis's cock.

"Fu- Jack." Ennis growled, jerking forward. He knew that even though he wanted Jack to keep doing what he was doing, if he continued then Ennis would soon be no good to him.

Jack finally pulled his hands away, forcing a whimper from Ennis at the loss of contact. He needed that contact with Jack more than he needed air to breath. He craved Jack's touch with all of his being and it took all of his self control not to plow right into Jack and devour him. Shaking slightly, he directed his dick to Jack's entrance and thrust into him with a satisfying grunt. He paused for a moment, holding himself as still as possible, making Jack squirm with desperation. Jack pushed against Ennis, trying to get him to move.

"Asshole," Jack muttered, butting up against Ennis impatiently.

"But I'm your asshole." Ennis finally moved until he was halfway out of Jack before quickly thrusting back in and building up a rhythm.

Ennis watched Jack's face change as the pleasure increased. He loved being able to see Jack's eyes glaze over with love and desire. He treasure the fact that he was able to make Jack forget all the stresses and troubles of the real world that seemed to surround them. Making Jack sometimes forget his own name sometimes was also an added bonus.

Jack let his eyes slide shut as Ennis pounded in him, hitting his prostate with each perfect thrust and sending waves of ecstasy throughout Jack's body. As he felt his body tense, ready to cum, he forced his eyes open to meet Ennis's. He reached to embrace him tightly as he came, his nails digging into Ennis's back. Ennis grunted and with one last thrust, came inside of Jack. He relaxed into Jack's arms.

"Yep... think I'll like livin' here." Ennis mumbled, nuzzling his head into Jack's neck and breathing in the scent of him. He loved how Jack smelled after sex; like sweat, passion, and a distinct Jack smell.

Jack shifted slightly, pulling Ennis deeper into his arms and basking in the quiet afterglow, watching the flames of the fire flicker. After a few minutes, he spoke.

"I need a bath." His hand stroked Ennis's chest.

"Naw, wait a few more minutes..." Ennis murmured groggily.

"... WE need a bath then." Jack whispered more suggestively, nipping at Ennis's earlobe.

"Well, if you put it that way..." Ennis sat up, suddenly not tired anymore.
