Both their trucks were packed up again, ready to head out of the camp site. Jack still couldn't believe that this time when Ennis drove away, he would be right behind him. And when they reached the end of the dirt road, for once they would be turning in the same direction. Jack would never have to look out of his rear view mirror again as Ennis' truck drove the opposite direction down the highway.
Ennis got in his truck, as Jack stood beside him by the open door. "Ok, bud, you 'member where I live...'course you do." Ennis shuddered again at the memory of the day Jack showed up at his place right after the divorce. "Her's the key to the house, just go right on in and get y'rself comfortable. I shouldn't be too far behind, jus' gotta drop the horses off at the stable an' pick up a few things in town. Ain't a sliver o' food at my place."
"All be waitin' for you," Jack said with a smile. He then leaned in and his lips met with Ennis', a deep, long passionate kiss that made them both weak in the knees. They pulled apart as Ennis smiled at Jack and gave him a wink. Ennis shut the door to his truck and started heading down the dirt road. Jack climbed in his truck and popped it into gear as he headed down the same dirt road, not far behind from Ennis.
It was a long drive back to Riverton. Jack figured it would be about a four hour drive, considering where they had camped in the mountains. As Jack drove down the highway, his thoughts were only of Ennis. Jack couldn't believe what was happening. He had dreamed about this for so long, and now his dream was becoming a reality. Jack couldn't help but smile. He had never been so happy or content in his life.
A few hours later, Jack pulled into the gravel drive leading up to Ennis' place. He stepped out of his truck and stretched the tension from his body from being behind the wheel. He grabbed his bag that held his clothes and personal items and headed for the house.
Jack unlocked the door and stepped into Ennis' place. The first thing he noticed was how dark and lonely the place seemed. A couple of barstools at his kitchen counter, a couch and chair, an endtable and a TV in the living room. Jack opened the curtains letting in some light, then headed to the back of the house, where he presumed the bedroom and bathroom would be.
He turned on the light in Ennis' bedroom and threw his bag on the floor. Jack smiled as he saw pictures of Ennis' girls on his nightstand. Ennis' closet was open, filled with old flannel shirts, and presumably some older pairs of cowboy boots clumsily laying on the closet floor.
Jack sat down on the bed and took in the room where Ennis fell asleep alone every night. He glanced over to Ennis' dresser and something caught his eye. He got up, and as he got closer, he realized it was a post card hanging on the wall with some familiar handwriting on it. Jack smiled when he read the familiar words:
Friend this letter is a long time over due. Hope you get it. Heard you was in Riverton. I'm coming thru on the 24th, thought I'd stop and buy you a beer. Drop me a line if you can, say if your there.
And below the postcard hanging from the wall, on top of the dresser, stacked neatly in an old wooden box, were all the postcards Jack had sent Ennis through the years. Jack took them out of the box and started looking through them. There must have been at least 50 of them. Christ, he saved every damn one of 'em Jack thought to himself.
Jack was deeply touched that Ennis had saved every one of them. Ennis wasn't the type of person who held onto things, just looking around his house proved this. The only things in the entire house that had any meaning to Ennis were the pictures of his daughters, and Jack's postcards.
Jack laid down on the bed, a warm feeling washing over his heart. He was so tired. His life just did a complete 180 in the past 24 hours. He was completely drained. As he laid there waiting for Ennis, his eyes grew heavy, and he drifted off to sleep.
----------------------------------------------------
About an hour later, Ennis was opening the front door, lugging in the food he just got at the grocery store. "Jack?" Ennis called Jack's name and heard nothing. He set the grocery bags down and quietly walked to the back of the house, finding Jack just as he expected him. Peacefully sleeping on his bed, dreaming about some far off place. Ennis smiled and let Jack sleep a bit longer while he put the groceries away.
----------------------------------------------------
Jack awoke to Ennis lightly kissing his neck, softly saying his name. "Jack, time ta wake up. Jack..." Jack slowly opened his eyes and saw Ennis. He smiled and Ennis lightly kissed him on the lips. Ennis went back down to Jack's neck, giving him soft little kisses as he continued to wake up. Ennis whispered in Jack's ear "I gotta hot shower runnin'. C'mon, let's go get cleaned up."
Jack groggily sat up blinking his eyes and looking at Ennis as he headed off to the bathroom, completely naked. "Looks like yer all ready to go," said Jack, with a sleepy grin on his face. Jack stripped off his clothes, it felt good to get them off after being in the mountains for a week. He headed to the bathroom, filled with warm steam, and climbed into the shower with Ennis.
Ennis pulled Jack close to him under the hot water, and held him in his arms. Ennis lifted Jack's chin, and their lips joined as their wet bodies pressed together. "What was that for, Cowboy?" Jack said when Ennis pulled away.
"Just a preview of what's comin' up later on tonight," Ennis replied with a devilish grin as his lips brushed across Jack's wet neck. Jack let out a small moan. Damn, Ennis sure knew how to push every one of his buttons. The touch of Ennis' lips slowly trailing down Jack's neck to his shoulders sent a jolt through his body, right down to his groin.
"Ennis," Jack breathed with his eyes closed, surrendering to Ennis' touch. "Thought you said this was jus' a preview."
"It is..." Ennis said, moving back up to Jack's mouth, securing his lips tightly over Jacks. Ennis pressed Jack into the wall, kissing him deeply, pressing his tongue forward into Jack's mouth. Jack thrust his hips forward, feeling Ennis' cock rub against his own. Ennis' strong, lean body continued to press Jack into the damp shower wall, as he took Jack's face into his hands, his tongue delving deeper and deeper into Jack's mouth.
Jack grabbed Ennis' ass with both his hands, pulling him even closer, grinding into his body. Ennis let out a moan, not letting it interfere with his invasion on Jack's lips and mouth. One of Ennis' hands wandered down Jack's slippery body, lower and lower, until he reached his cock. Ennis took Jack in his hand and started to stroke him.
"Oh, fuck, Ennis..." Jack moaned. After all these years, the fire between Jack and Ennis was still burning strong. Jack felt powerless every time Ennis touched him, surrendering his body to Ennis' every desire. Craving his hands all over his body, hot for his roaming lips, aching for him to enter the place that would join them together.
Ennis picked up the pace, stroking Jack faster and faster, unable to take his eyes off Jack's face. His head was leaned back against the wall, water running down his body, his eyes closed, completely engrossed by the way Ennis was making him feel. Ennis loved that he could bring so much pleasure to Jack.
Ennis also knew what would push Jack over the edge. He buried his face in Jack's neck as he continued to pump him. Ennis began kissing his neck wildly, sucking, dragging his teeth across the wet skin and biting Jack hard, leaving his mark. Jack let out a loud moan, running his fingers through Ennis hair. Ennis gave Jack's cock one last jerk, and Jack came, hard, calling out Ennis' name.
"Oh, darlin', I love makin' you that crazy," Ennis whispered into Jack's ear as he shuddered against Ennis' body. Ennis lightly kissed on Jack's neck as he came down from the high that Ennis brought him too.
Jack opened his eyes and let out a satisfied laugh "Fuck, Ennis, if tha's just the preview, what in the hell do ya have in store for me tonight?"
"Guess you'll jus' have to wait an' see," Ennis smiled. "Come on, let's get washed up and get some dinner in us. I'm starvin'!"
