Sins of My Father by Raquel Riley

Wilder and I celebrated Christmas quietly. With our neighbors out of town visiting family, it was just the two of us and a marathon of Christmas movies. We ate lasagna, opened presents, and made love. It was perfect. We rang in the new year much the same way, which suited us just fine.

Wilder’s fall semester bled into spring, and Austin and Marcus were busy with spring training. We rarely saw them but in passing, a wave hello as we pulled in the driveway. I noticed a difference in Wilder. He was quieter. Without his partner in crime, he didn’t shine as brightly or laugh as loud as he used to.

Probably most alarming was when he found a silly excuse to miss out on the January Jelly festival.

Desperate to see him smile again, I suggested, “Let’s go away this weekend. Maybe we can rent a cabin at the base of the mountain and do some hiking.”

“Really? That sounds awesome. I would love that! I’ll go start packing right now.”

“Wild,” I called out. “We don’t leave for four more days.”

“That’s okay! I’m like a Boy Scout, always prepared.”

I don’t think I had ever met anyone who was less like a Boy Scout than my son, but I wisely kept my mouth shut. If he was excited, I was happy.

We left early Friday morning for the cabin.

We did not hike.

Not an eighth of a mile down the trail, Wilder had a cramp in his foot. He was panting and breathless, sweating despite the chilly temperature. My boy was not an athletic outdoorsman. Not at all.

“You would think with all the sex we have that I would be in better shape, right?”

I shook my head in disbelief. “I’m twice your age and I haven't even broken a sweat.”

“Whatever, grandpa. Let’s go back to the cabin and use the hot tub.”

He was absolutely impossible. If he were anybody else, I would be irritated beyond reason or consider them absurd. But Wilder had a way of charming me down to my soul. It didn’t take much for his antics to make me smile.

We didn’t even change into our bathing suits, just stripped out of our hiking gear and climbed in the hot tub naked. Wilder immediately gravitated toward my lap, straddling my thighs. He wrapped his arms around my neck, teasing my throat and chest with nibbles and kisses.

“This is absolutely perfect. Thanks for bringing me here.”

“It’s worth it to see you smiling again.”

“Yeah, I’ve been a real Debbie-downer lately, haven’t I?”

“Has something been bothering you?”

Tendrils of steam rose from the water’s surface and wrapped around us, enveloping us in a thick cocoon of mist. His pale skin, made even ghostlier by a winter without sun, turned pink from the heat, reminding me of a sweet little cherub. But there was nothing sweet or cherubic about his erection poking into my stomach.

“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. Okay, I don’t mean for this to sound ridiculous, but I feel like I’m entering a new phase of my life.
