miles northeast of the trailhead where Heather and Tommy had left the Corolla. He drove another three miles over an abandoned logging trail and finally pulled into a collapsing storage shed. Before bedding down in the back of the truck, he transferred the contents of the boxes to an empty backpack. It was full but not heavy. If he left at dawn, he should be at the cabin by noon. He fell asleep thinking about the girl’s fine ass and her strong young legs and how he was sure her titties were bare under that tee.
As Willy was falling asleep, Heather inside the tent, consoled her husband, “Don’t worry, honey.” She hugged him. “You’re tired and...and...this is new to both of us.”
In the sleeping bag he turned away from her disgusted with himself. She pressed her body against him, “We’ll try again tomorrow. Maybe there are things I can do to help. It doesn’t matter. Really it doesn’t.”
Tommy turned back to look at her, “I-I’m so ashamed Heather.” You’re beautiful and…and I know that you get excited quickly...but...but.”
“It’s OK, Tommy. We’ll work on it.” She could feel the hot wetness between her legs. She wanted to slip her hand down there, but with Tommy so close it wasn’t possible nor did she feel it would be right. She hid her disappointment. It seemed she’d wanted to lose her virginity for the past few years. She’d even thought of buying one of those dildos. When Tommy had undressed she was disappointed in the size of his penis. It was much smaller than she expected. Then when it remained soft even when she touched it, she thought she might burst into tears. But he looked so hurt; she managed to put her own feelings aside.
“ When he was asleep she imagined being taken by a huge black man and, masturbating, orgasmed quickly.
Chapter Two
Late on the third afternoon they arrived at the South Fork of the Trinity where they set up their tent before bathing in the cold water. After a hot meal, they settled down on a log beside the fire to wait for the coffee to boil. They sat for a long time recalling to each other their four years at the university and planning a future together. They would get jobs in San Francisco and perhaps live in San Rafael. After a year or two they’d start a family. Life would be good. The only problem was that Tommy hadn’t been able to get an erection. On the second night she even kissed and licked his cock. It rose a little but quickly subsided. Heather continued to get herself off after he went to sleep. Although they didn’t discuss it, both of them realized this was not a temporary problem. Whether it was medical or psychological they agreed to seek professional help when they returned to San Francisco.
When the coffee was gone and the fire had subsided to a few flickering flames among the embers, Heather turned to her husband, “You are all I have in the world,” she whispered, “and that is more than I could ever wish for.”
“Yes,” he said, touching her cheek, “marrying you was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me.” He kissed her lightly. “In spite of that...uh...problem, we are each other’s best friend and each other’s only real family.”
“Except for generous Uncle Alex whoever and wherever he is,” she laughed.
They crawled into the tent and snuggled together in the same sleeping bag.
They slept until nine. “It’s going to be a hot day,” Tommy said.
Heather was rummaging through her backpack. “I think I’ll wear this little white skirt,” she said. “My jeans are too hot.” She pulled on bikini panties and then the skirt.
“No bra,” she smiled and winked at Tommy. He laughed. She slipped her bare feet into a pair of tennis shoes and, while Tommy dressed, put on her make up.
When they went outside to greet the morning, Willy and Sam were sitting on the log facing the tent. Behind them tied to an oak beside the narrow trail were two donkeys. In his mid-fifties, Willy was bald except
