14. The Grand Connection

*** Fox

The ascent to the plateau was quiet and uneventful. Jake's alchemy made the climb easy out there in the windless dark. The moon was full and rising, giving plenty of light in the night. Fox was impressed at the climb time for someone who wasn't a climber.

Fox reached out while Fox took hold of his forearm and pulled him up. He trotted a few steps toward the inside of the plateau. It was a force of habit, for fear that he'd accidentally topple over backwards to a messy end. Jake followed him and took his hand.

The veil of night cast the vista around them in shades of blue from midnight to cerulean. Fox breathed in the air, happy to have made a return to a place he'd been only twice before.

"Give me a moment," Jake said. He knelt down a couple of yards away standing at the center of the completely flat plateau.

Jake knelt down and placed his hands on the ground. He closed his eyes. To a bystander, Jake looked as if he were in prayer. But within minutes, an intricate silver circle formed around him-more like rose from the ground. Twelve lines composed of a combination of words and equations spread out with speed, likely meeting the other points that the man laid out.

A thought crossed Fox's mind. This took effort, as the three other locations very likely did. And it started seven years ago. "Holy shit, you started this when I was graduating high school," Fox said. A large, open-mouthed, goofy smile stretched his face muscles. He undid his pack and set it down on the ground.

Jake gave Fox what would have been a withering look, if not for the chuckle that threatened to burst through. Fox snickered.

"You know, in some states, some boys get their young girlfriends pregnant," Fox said blithely. Jake unstrapped his pack.

"Those boys have been as young as sixteen. That was about the age you were when I was born," Fox said, the seriousness giving way to a fit of snickers. Jake set his pack down, his eyes calm and focused on his man.

"And you know, those kids eventually call those boys…" Fox snickered. A weird gleam sparkled off of Jake's silvery eyes.

"Daddy."

Jake sprang at Fox like a pouncing tiger. Fox laughed and playfully spun to the side, narrowly missing getting hit by an oncoming Jake. But Fox doubled over, laughing, when strong arms cinch around his waist. His big man tackled him to the rough ground. He kept laughing as Jake took his arms and pinned them next to his head.

"You're pretty pleased with yourself, aren't you," Jake growled.

"Yep, please don't spank me, daddy bear," Fox giggled.

Then he found himself between laughing and gasping for air. Jake mauled his neck, biting and sucking and gnawing and licking. Fox's laughter turned into expletives and unintelligible things. It was a veritable glossolalia of lust-inspired nonsense.

"You gonna say that again?" Jake said. Fox's world was blurry, unfocused, and slowly being covered in a haze of pleasure.
