I've become addicted to posting this!
First light of day on Wednesday found the trio waking up and getting ready to go, just in time to be scooped up by the charter crew from Bobby Lynn's Marina. Loaded down with their own food & drinks –insect repellent, sun screen for Leroy and Jackson, sun block for Tim's sensitive skin, rain gear & fish towels, they were more than ready to enjoy the day. They spent an exhilarating day out on the open bays, anchored on submerged reefs and old oil field platforms and trolling around them finding, catching, releasing and watching all the speckled trout, redfish and flounder their eyes could take in.
As conscientious fishermen, they were not willing to keep any more than what they could eat for dinner that night. They quite happily tossed back many more than they ever imagined catching, much less more than what they could even think of eating, while keeping verbal score of who had caught the biggest one yet.
They ended the day on the water at two in the afternoon with two huge flounders that would make any fisherman proud. Too tired to wait for the fish to be cleaned by the crew, they headed back to their cabin to shower, relax and unwind. The guide promised to deliver their fish to them in plenty of time for dinner.
A quiet evening spent cooking, cleaning up and relaxing together with no pressure to do anything more than rest, helped pass the time. They eventually headed off to bed for the sleep they needed for their early morning flight to another secret destination which Tim was again keeping tightly wrapped up until the last minute. The two lovers slept, contentedly spooned together, with Leroy's arm holding Tim close.

Five-thirty Thursday morning found them ready to leave on time, a quick breakfast and clean up handled by the three men with little conversation as they each struggled to wake up. With their flight leaving at 7:15, the Charter Service Shuttle was at their door waiting for them by six. The thirty- minute drive to the airport much quieter than the ride in had been, Leroy and his father enjoyed their coffee and the passing scenery while Tim's attention seemed to be covertly concentrated just on Leroy, that is, when he wasn't drinking his coffee. The two of them sat in the back, fingers interlaced where their hands rested on the seat – out of sight of the driver's eyes in his rearview mirror.
It was a change in public behavior for Tim, and Leroy was happy to see it, a smile plastered on his face that he knew his lover couldn't help noticing. Their fingers spoke for them during the trip, never once losing contact with each other. This manic paced staying busy or traveling was seriously hampering their alone time, however, it had been an awesome trip that Tim had put his heart and soul into arranging.
Spending their days out on various waterways with different kinds of fishing had been a wonderful and thoughtful vacation for the three of them. Leroy was grateful to be able to spend so much time with both his father and his lover and that Tim had figured a way to do just that.
Keeping that thought in the forefront of his mind kept Leroy from finding anything to complain about on any of this vacation, though he did keep a sharp eye on his father, wanting to be sure none of this was too much for him. He wasn't surprised to find that Tim had taken that into consideration as well, with someone on the staff always keeping an extra eye on the elder man, providing him with a comfortable seat, extra water, a sun hat, and the like. Leroy had to laugh at the woeful expression on his father's face a time or two over the last few days. Apparently the senior Gibbs sometimes felt too pampered.
The flight to Atlanta and their 90 minute layover went smoothly. With no problems greeting them at the next leg of the journey, all three of them were able to relax over a large coffee and Danish before boarding their connecting flight, departing at 11:31am, that would take them to Chattanooga.
Tim had admitted that much earlier on the short flight when it had landed at 9: 48, his sheepish look back in full play that said he had more details to tell than he was willing to admit to. No amount of cajoling would get him to let any more information out about the rest of their vacation that was slowly but surely coming to an end. For now, they'd continue to enjoy every minute of their time together.

When they finally landed in Chattanooga at12:20 in the afternoon, Tim surprised Leroy with the keys to the Ford Escape rental vehicle from National Car Rental, another nice Sport Utility Vehicle and he burst into a smile at the look of genuine appreciation that crossed the older man's already handsome face, for the vehicle's durability and good looks.
With a grin, Tim told him the directions were already programmed into the navigation system and Tim was the back-up for it. With an answering smirk, Leroy got behind the wheel and drove them toward their next destination.
Pulling into the parking lot of the Quality Inn Lookout Mountain a short fifteen minutes later, they all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The idea of being able to sit and relax without moving was definitely appealing. When Tim announced that they didn't have to go anywhere until around 3:00 that afternoon, it brought smiles to both Jackson's and Leroy's faces, even though that gave them less than two complete hours to rest up.
Once inside their own room, with Jackson in his room next door, Leroy quickly showed Tim that he was in no hurry for any kind of a nap; but rather, very hungry for some intimate time with his lover. Reaching for him before they'd even gotten five feet inside the door, the older man's mouth met Tim's and the sensuous dance began in earnest, their feet traveling on their own, taking them to the bed over by the window.
From within his lover's arms, Tim moved, his hands blazing heated trails everywhere they could reach as his cock rose to the occasion, thickening and lengthening through the restriction of his jeans. Moaning in hunger, he squirmed, pillowing his groin with that of the older man's until even Leroy was breathless, pulling back for air.
Immediately, Tim got busy unzipping his lover's pants, but instead of taking the time to remove them completely, he sensuously slid down to his knees, reached inside and gently cupped him just long enough to earn him a moan of lust filled appreciation, before caressing the swelling muscle and setting him free, taking him in, swallowing him whole, his mouth a warm tight vacuum that had Leroy's eyes rolling to the top of his head. "Tim!"
Running his hands up and down Leroy's legs after taking the time tug the mans' pants down,while he suckled him off, Tim's hands traveled to the older man's rear end; squeezing and massaging the firm, beautiful globes, and even ghosting his finger tip across the opening, eliciting a groan of pleasure from his lover.
When Leroy's arms reached down and pulled at him, wordlessly beckoning to him, Tim smiled as he tenderly slid his mouth off the now throbbing muscle and deliberately took his time first getting rid of the rest of their clothes before slowly sliding against Leroy everywhere their bodies touched as he once again, found his mouth, this time plundering it roughly in absolute lust.
As soon as Tim's mouth locked on his once more, Leroy locked his arms around his lover and lowered them to the bed, rolling them so the young man was underneath him, their legs intertwined while their mouths meshed and loved each other.
Pulling away for air, Tim's arms wrapped around Leroy's chest, "I love these times with you, Leroy." He murmured softly.
Lifting himself up off Tim's chest so they could look into each other's eyes, Leroy worked his fingers through the younger man's hair as he kissed the top of his head. While still trying to regain his breath, the older man's arms moved to caress the beautiful, firm body everywhere they could reach, stopping to play with the younger man's nipples.
Squirming more, pushing his nipples into his lover's touch, Tim moaned his pleasure, his hands fisting into the bedspread underneath him. As Leroy took a nipple into his mouth and suckled it, Tim's chest rose even higher off the bed. "Mmmm! So good!"
With that soft smile he shared only with Tim, Leroy disappeared from Tim's view but was heard unzipping one of the luggage bags and was soon back, straddling the young man, the smile still in place. "Close your eyes and just feel." He crooned as he gently raised Tim's arms up over his head and patted them to let it be known they needed to stay there.
"I love looking in your eyes when we make love to each other." Tim mourned the directive he'd just been given.
"Me too. Just do this for me."
"Okay." Tim whispered, reaching out one stubborn arm to card his fingers through his lover's hair for a moment of tenderness, before putting it back over his head with the other one and closing his eyes as he'd been asked.
Leaning in for a tender kiss, Leroy drank from it, all that Tim gave and together, they climbed high enough that both felt the wave of pleasure that brought moans from their throats. Moving further south, Leroy blazed trails of kisses down Tim's neck and all over his chest, his fingers gently trailing in their wake, but again, stopping at the young man's nipples.
The older man's mouth kept nibbling and kissing his way down Tim's body. His hands remained on his lover's nipples, gently playing with them and tugging on them. Leroy had to smile when his ministrations, elicited yet another sensual moan from the younger man that became a full-fledged exclamation when he felt the warm tight cavern that was his lover's mouth, swallow him whole and milk him greedily, as if starving for a drink.
"OOOH!" Tim's ecstatic shout went straight to Leroy's own now hardened and weeping cock and it was all he could do to hold off from rushing through what he wanted to do for his lover; with him.
Writhing in absolute ecstasy from the hands on his nipples at the same time his cock was being treated to the best loving it had ever had, Tim's body was alight with so much fire, he didn't know how much more he could take, "God, Leroy, fill me, please! Need to feel you." He begged as that tightening feeling began rising up from the souls of his feet.
Removing one hand from the man's nipple, Leroy worked to lube himself and Tim's hole while still sucking on his lover's now rock-hard cock, his own ecstatic moan filling the air as he finally eased his mouth from the muscle and set his own cock in line with Tim's entrance and breached it, hearing Tim's groan of discomfort mixed with pleasure , their words mixing together in the air.
"Feels so good, Leroy!"
"So tight, Tim!
Gripping the blanket above his head so tightly, his fingers were translucent, Tim pushed himself into his lover's touches, feeling pleasure in so many places at once, he could barely breathe as both those hands again worked on his nipples and the steel rod filled him oh, so completely, it felt like heaven! When one of Leroy's hands moved and wrapped itself around his aching, throbbing cock once more, gently sweeping a thumb over the tip, Tim was gone; over that edge with a shout. "NNGGGGGGHHHH!"
Leroy smiled as he watched his lover succumb to the multi- layered lovemaking that had sent him over so fast. He'd been wanting to do that for Tim for a while now and even now, as he continued to drive his cock into the younger man's still tight, hot channel, he felt ready to explode. There was nothing more sensual and sexy than seeing your lover's ecstasy strewn across his face as he let go and let it take him away.
With a moan, Leroy was carried away with his own release, catapulting over the moon, visions of Tim's face awash in complete sensual abandon filling his mind.
Taking a few minutes to come down from the high, the older man gently withdrew from his lover and headed to the bathroom for a towel to clean them both up before slipping in beside him, holding him as they rested.

Almost two hours later and the trio was ready for their next big adventure. When they got to the car, Tim reached over and snagged the keys from his lover. "You can't drive to this next stop. It's so close to the hotel, you'll just get frustrated." He grinned almost saucily.
"Yeah? How close?" Leroy challenged him.
"Uhm How about less than six miles?" Tim huffed in laughter.
"That is close." Jackson piped in with surprise.
"We're ready. Got good sturdy shoes on and jackets, oh and water bottles. Let's go." Tim replied as he got in the driver's seat, and waited with a grin for his lover to go around and get in the car.
"You'd better be right about this." Leroy groused with a grin.
"Have I let you down yet?" Tim joked.
With complete seriousness, the older man looked his lover straight on, "No, Tim. You haven't."
Swallowing hard, Tim nodded as he reached for Leroy's hand and squeezed it. "Thanks." He offered quietly, taking those words as deeply as they were intended.
"Bout damn time you two started bein' yourselves in front of me!" Jackson groused. "Told you on day one, not to be worryin' about it."
"We haven't, Jack. I promise." Tim offered as he reluctantly released his lover's hand and put his full attention on driving.

As Jack stopped reading out loud from the brochure he'd picked up at the park's entrance, the smile that lit his face was a sight to behold. Tim looked to Leroy, knowing the man's father's expression would mean a lot to his lover. Sure enough, the happiness mirrored there made this all worthwhile and it reminded Tim where Leroy came by his hidden fun-loving nature as well as his love of the outdoors.
The youngest of the three stayed silent, letting the other two soak up all they could from the experience as they went 'd all thoroughly enjoyed that breath-taking view on the ride up the mountain, that was for sure. It was an afternoon and early evening well spent as the spectacle of nature, lit by the lights, enthralled them all.
None of them thought to worry about the time or even if they should be stopping to eat dinner. Tim spent more time watching his lover's reactions and genuine enjoyment than he did the lights, yet he had no complaints. Even when his stomach began growling, he refused to spoil the other's fun by suggesting they go eat dinner. He could wait until they were ready.
Watching Tim covertly, seeing his focus was on, not the Garden of Light he'd brought them to, but on himself, Leroy smiled inside. He knew Tim cared more about his happiness than he did his own but he also knew his lover was hungry and frankly, so was he. Looking over at his father, Leroy shared a smile with him. The sly old fox already knew what was going on. He knew that Tim wasn't even sight-seeing so much as he was Leroy-seeing. And both the boys were hungry. He was fine with that. They'd been here for hours and he was hungry too.
"How 'bout some dinner?"
"Sounds good, Jack. I hear there's a really great place to eat just a few minutes from here." Tim offered cheerfully.
"Yeah, I'll just bet 'you heard'." Jackson joked. "Wait, don't tell me. We passed it as we came in."
Tim smirked as they headed toward the park entrance. "You got me there."
Twenty minutes later found them comfortably seated inside the Big Rock Grill. The short-order style restaurant offered everything from hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, to chicken fingers and French fries.
"Leroy, there's a Starbucks right outside the main entrance in the Cornerstone Station." Tim offered the reminder, knowing how much his lover would appreciate the real stuff. "It's open til nine tonight."
"Then I guess we'd better get eatin'" Leroy joked. "'Cause we've got a stop to make."
The three of them shared laughter as they dug into their meals, happy and relaxed.

Having told both Gibbs' men that they had the morning to relax and didn't have anywhere to be until one, had put huge smiles on both their faces last night as they'd trudged wearily into their hotel a few hours later. Reminding them that they had to leave by noon and that they needed to avoid eating breakfast, Tim had bid Jackson good night and headed for his own room, desperate for a hot relaxing shower.
***NCIS***
Leroy smiled softly as his body was caressed and kissed awake, his lover's attentive hands and lips not missing a single spot on his upper body. Wrapping his arms around Tim, he kissed him tenderly as he greeted him. "Mmmm. You're spoilin' me."
Tim couldn't help but smile back as he answered, his tone serious. "Not near as much as you deserve." Sliding up beside him on the bed, the young man swooped in for a tender kiss before offering up what he had to say next. "Sorry I fell asleep on you last night."
"Nuthin' to be sorry for. Don't want you wearin' yourself too thin. Didn't mind just relaxin' with you while you slept." Leroy replied as the vision of his naked lover laying strewn across his chest while he slept returned and still left the older man with that contented feeling in his chest.
In no hurry this morning, Tim took the opportunity to get comfortable laying on Leroy's chest, their legs and fingers interlacing as they enjoyed the time basking in each other's quiet demonstration of love.
Countless moments went by as they contentedly snuggled in golden silence, just listening to each other's quiet breathing. As Tim's eyes blinked, they happened on the wall clock, reminding him with a pang, that this moment could not last – none of them could because time stands still for no one.
Hearing the small hitch in his lover's breathing, Leroy looked at him closely. "Talk to me."
"We'll be home Saturday night." Tim admitted sadly.
"You're worried there won't be any time for this." His lover surmised.
A small shudder rippled through Tim as he answered quietly. "Yeah."
"Raising himself up on one elbow, Leroy traced the tip of his finger down his lover's cheek. "We'll always do what we can to make the time for us, Tim." He promised just before he leaned in and gently drank from those lips that called to him as the young man quickly gave back with all the passion and love he had to give.
This sparked the fire as it quickly spread; growing hotter and hotter until together, as one, connected by Leroy's rock-hard love muscle, slowly but steadily inciting Tim's inner heat to its' boiling point – both of them flew together in its explosive wake.
"Wow." Tim softly exclaimed some time later as he recovered from within the encompassing arms of his equally worn out lover
"Somethin' like that." Leroy admitted quietly with a grin as his fingers absently played with Tim's hair; now one of his favorite thing to do in these quiet moments.
Tim sighed contentedly and snuggled closer, but his need for a shower made it necessary to get up and get ready instead. "I need a shower. Come join me?" He teased his lover.
"Not this time." Leroy answered. "Wake me when you're done, will ya?" He encouraged tiredly.
Tim smiled as the older man lay back down, closing his eyes. Heading for the bathroom, a towel slung over his shoulder, the young man stopped and turned around, his eyes now locked on the man in the bed. Watching his lover sleep for a bit, Tim's heart sang. After what seemed like forever, he walked over and sat down on the bed, one fingertip trailing down Leroy's face lovingly as he quietly spoke .
"Love you, Leroy. With all my heart."
Not expecting a reply, Tim took himself to the shower, letting the heated water massage not only his tired, aching body, but his emotions as he put them away for safe keeping once more. Closing his eyes, he cleared his mind of everything for this one moment of serenity he now usually only found in Leroy's arms.
As if on cue, the older man's arms embraced him now, gently pulling him back into the solid brick wall that was himself, those strong, yet tender lips kissing his temple.
"Love you too, Tim. Lemme show you how much."
