Chapter 4

The view was amazing, Went would admit that. Whether it was the bigger view of the mountains or the more immediate view of Chip's ass on the trail ahead of him. At the moment that was about all the good he could say about this hiking thing.

He was hot--crazy hot--he had scratches from branches. There were bug bites. His leg muscles were beginning to protest mightily and his heart was beating like it was going to jump out of his chest. Fuck.

"You ready for a sandwich and some water, beautiful?" Chip hadn't even broken a sweat.

He didn't hesitate for a second before jumping at a break. "Yes." He didn't even care about the sandwich. He wanted that water. He stopped and dropped his pack immediately.

Chip handed over a bottle of water, then pulled out a pair of low camp chairs, a tiny folding table.

"Dude. You've got a whole fucking campsite in that pack." He'd started saying dude this morning, by accident. It fit Chip, though.

"I totally do. I didn't bring the tent this time, though."

Laughing, Went collapsed into one of the chairs and chugged back half the water. "You didn't tell me we were doing the hard trail."

"Be grateful there's a trail, beautiful."

He shot Chip a look, but Chip looked deadly serious.

Chip pulled out sandwiches and some delicious-looking cookies and Went decided he was hungry after all. Now that he'd been sitting for a bit and had some water, he was feeling better.

"We're in no hurry, going nowhere in particular, so we can sit as long as we want, enjoy the view."

"Good, good. I think I'd like to enjoy the view for a while." He smiled at Chip, hoping Chip realized he was talking about Chip as much as if not more than the nature all around them.

"Sure. It takes a little bit to get used to the altitude, you know."

"Oh yeah? I thought I was just in shit shape." He felt better, hearing that, though.

"You have to give yourself time to adjust."

"Good to know." His heart finally stopped feeling like it was going to explode and he figured he was going to live.

"Want a cookie?" Chip asked.

"Dessert first, huh?" He nodded. "Yes. Please. Dessert first sounds like a great idea."

"Oatmeal or chocolate chip?"

"Oh, hell, I want one of each." He was here on vacation and, besides, you only lived once, right.

Chip laughed, the merry sound filling the air and he got two cookies and a happy kiss. God, Chip made him feel good. He ate the oatmeal cookie first.

Chip was stretched out, leaning back in the sunshine. Damn, but the man did it for him deep down inside, made him feel all warm and gooey inside. Crazy.

"Where are we headed from here?" he asked, actually feeling like he might live through more hiking.

"It depends. If we head up, there's a neat overlook where you can see the lake. If we head down, we'll go another route, with new views."

"Do we have to come back up from the down?" Because damn, going down was tempting.
