I've been a long time reader of this site, and I figured it was about time that I do some writing of my own. This will be a multi-part story. I'm not sure how many parts it will be yet, but this is the first. I certainly hope you enjoy it, and welcome your feedback. So, without further ado, here is Journey Onward, Chapter 1. Loving50 helped with editing my story. ***** Jake took one last look around the empty house before he headed outside to his car. The movers had just left within the past hour, and he had finished up the last minute cleaning that needed to be done prior to the new owners moving in within the next couple of days. It was hard for him to believe that after several years in this house, he was moving on. He had known it was time for a while, but the urge to act upon it took a bit. He had finally decided, though, that for his own sanity, it was time to close this chapter and start writing the next. With his wife terminally ill, his son moving away, and dealing with a job that felt more irrelevant by the day, he didn't see the point in sticking around a city and state where there were no more attachments for him. So, soon after his wife had passed, Jake started looking around for jobs in various parts of the country that had intrigued him. In the end, he decided to move half way across the country back towards where he grew up. The job he landed was a good one with an up and coming software firm. They were known for hiring top young talent, working them hard, and paying them well with all sorts of perks. He may not have been as young as the typical new hire there, but at 44, he felt that he was still young at heart and could keep up with the challenges that went along with it. It wasn't an easy decision to pack up and leave. This had been Jake's second marriage, and he was certain it was going to last forever. Despite a very rocky beginning, and some other bumps along the way, Jake and Susan had been the picture of happiness. When she was diagnosed with Cancer, it shook them both to the core. At first, the prognosis had been good, and the doctors were convinced it could be beat. Unfortunately, the disease had other ideas, and the battle had gone the other way. Susan had hung on for several months before finally succumbing. She and Jake had said their goodbyes, but that didn't make it any easier. For Jake, the memory was too fresh, and in addition to all the other factors, he felt that a fresh start somewhere else may help. They had been quite the pair in bed, and had experienced several adventures together. While they preferred it being just the two of them, on more than one occasion they had engaged in group fun, both with people they knew as well as the thrill of going to a local swinger's hotel to join in the fun with strangers. They found it to be a rush to watch the intimate moments of other couples while engaging in their own. Most of the time they went, it was just as voyeurs, but they had been known to jump in and join the fun from time to time. Jake wasn't sure that he wanted any intimacy any time soon, but he looked back with fondness on some of those adventures. Along with the fondness, though, there was the sadness of losing his partner in crime. He could only hope that someday he would find someone who was just as adventurous and willing to experience that from time to time. He headed out to the car, with his dog in tow to begin the two day drive back to Michigan. He had a couple of weeks before starting work, which would allow him to get settled in and learn the area. He held high expectations for this new start, but he also knew that he would have to work through the grief, and that this move would not be the cure-all for his sadness in losing Susan. Jake and Susan had met online, and quickly discovered that they had much in common. Jake was of average height, a little on the heavy side with light brown hair, a crooked smile, and hazel eyes that seemed to change colors based on the light in the room. Susan was a bit shorter, right around 5'2" and with padding in all the right places. She had long, curly blonde hair and ice blue eyes that could cut right through you. She had a very sharp sense of humor to match. And, as Jake quickly found out, she had the best set of lips and mouth to give the best head that he had ever experienced. He let out a big sigh, and got into his car to start the drive. He was getting out of town later than he had hoped and knew that he couldn't make it Omaha tonight. He wasn't sure if he could make it all the way to his new home in Michigan the following day, either. Well, he knew he probably could, but the question was more along the lines of should he. He thought about it, and figured that it was likely a decision that could wait until he was further down the road tomorrow and would see how he felt at the time. The other consideration was his trusty companion, Max. Max was a nine year old yellow lab who rarely acted his age. But, he had never been a great car dog, so Jake needed to take that into consideration. Jake shrugged, put the key in the ignition, and got the car rolling. The longer he waited, the less he'd be able to drive without passing out. At this point, he was hoping to get four or five hours down the road, which would put him near North Platte, Nebraska for the night. It wasn't as far as Omaha, but it was better than nothing. At this point, he just wanted to move forward towards his new life. As he started driving down the highway to his stop for the night, Jake's mind wandered back to the first time that he and Kate had been intimate. They had gone on a few lunch dates and walks during the afternoon as they worked within a couple of blocks of each other, but they were finally able to get together a couple of weeks after they first met for dinner. Jake could recall the excitement he felt when he picked her up at her house and they drove together to the Italian place around the corner from her. Dinner was a bit of a blur, with lots of flirting, talking, laughter, and casual touches being exchanged throughout. The check arrived, and Jake reached for his wallet to pay for it. Kate took one last swallow of her wine, set her glass down, put both hands on Jake's thighs and said huskily, "Would you like to come back to my place for another drink and keep this conversation going." Jake quickly replied in the affirmative as the server grabbed the check to run Jake's card. As soon as he had it back, they were headed rapidly to the car to get back to Kate's place. Kate unlocked the door, and as soon as they were both in with the door closed, she turned around to face Jake, and pulled his face to hers while saying "I've been waiting all night to do this to you," as she planted a kiss on his waiting lips. Jake quickly felt a surge of excitement travel through his body. Her lips were soft and tasted of the wine she had just finished at dinner. When Kate broke the kiss, Jake quickly leaned in for another and savored this one as well. Kate just smiled at him as the kiss broke and said, "I think I'm going to slip into something a bit more comfortable. While I do that, would you please get us some wine? Pick what you'd like from the rack there, and the glasses are in the cabinet to the right." Jake could just smile a goofy grin as he watched Kate's beautiful round backside move away from him and down the hall as she went to change. He just shook his head a bit, and proceeded to pick out a wine and grabbed a couple of glasses from the cabinet. He paused for a minute to yell down the hall, "hey, where's the corkscrew?" The reply was quick from Kate, "second drawer in from the fridge. Sorry I forgot to mention that!" "No worries," Jake said. As he reached in to get the corkscrew, he thought back to their first meeting on a street corner in downtown Denver a couple of weeks ago. He had answered her ad online looking for a lunch buddy as she called it. The two of the quickly realized there was some chemistry between them, and it went beyond a simple lunch buddy situation. It didn't seem possible, Jake thought, that they were so compatible despite being fairly different. He supposed the old adage of "opposites attract" held true in this case. Regardless, he knew that he had just had a wonderful time at dinner, and was back at her place pouring a couple of glasses of wine to take over to the couch. He was hoping this night would go the way he was thinking it would. He made his way over to the couch with the wine and sat down just as Kate came back down the hall in something certainly more comfortable than what she had been wearing before. Jake chuckled as he saw her, which drew a little glare and a sarcastic remark from Kate. "What were you expecting? Some lingerie or silk pajamas? C'mon, I said I was getting into something comfortable, and I meant it. These sweatpants and t-shirt are about as comfortable as you can get," Kate said. "Fair enough," was the reply from Jake. "I can't disagree with you there. I'm generally in sweats and a t-shirt myself when I get home from work, so I can't fault you with this. Besides, you are kind of hot in that outfit." "You are such a pig," came the retort. "All you men want is to get into our pants." "Guilty as charged," said Jake. Despite the words coming from Kate, she was smiling throughout the exchange. What Jake said was true, too. She was hot in that outfit. The sweatpants did a great job of clinging to her curvy lower half, and the t-shirt was tight enough to indicate that Kate had taken her bra off. She just shook her head and laughed as she made her way to the couch. Jake patted the cushion next to him, and as she sat down, he handed her the glass of wine. She sighed as she got settled in and took a sip of the wine. Kate turned to look Jake in the eyes, and he felt his chest jolt when those searing blue eyes met his. She told him, "I have had a wonderful time with you tonight. Everything just feels so right when I'm with you. It has been a long time since I've felt this way." Jake smiled that half smile of his and replied, "Kate, I feel the same way. All the outside noise just fades away when I'm with you." He set his glass down on the table, and leaned in closer to Kate. She saw him coming, and leaned in as well until their lips met softly at first. They held the kiss for several seconds, and rather than break it this time, Jake kissed her again. He could hear a soft sigh coming from her as she met his second kiss. They broke apart this time, and just looked into each other's eyes. They both took another sip of their wine, and this time Kate leaned in. "Your kiss is amazing," she said. She placed her hands on either side of Jake's face and kissed him again. He pulled her in closer so he could feel her body against his. Her body melted into his as the kissing became more passionate. Her already tight t-shirt was getting tighter as it pulled against her. He could see her nipples tightening as she began to get aroused. He felt himself getting aroused, as his cock was stirring below. He felt her tongue slip between his lips, seeking his out. He tasted the sweet wine that she had just drank mingle with his. Her lips were so soft and sweet, he couldn't believe how wonderful it felt. He could not remember such a feeling before, and was wanting it to continue. The kisses were tender and intense all at once, and the heat of passion began to spread throughout his body. His hands began to wander over her curvaceous body, with padding in just the right places. She may not have been a model, but she was driving him crazy just the same. His hand snuck under the bottom of her shirt in the back, and he touched her soft skin and slowly began to caress it, while his other hand was playing with her blonde hair. Kate moaned as he made that contact with her bare back, and her hands found their way to his face as she pressed her lips harder against his. Her right hand slipped away from his face, and started to trace down his body. She figured that since he was touching her bare skin, it was fair game for her to do the same. She started to tug on his tucked in shirt, and was quickly rewarded when it broke free from his pants. She reached her hand up inside, and made contact with his skin. Jake gasped as he felt her nails scrape against his side, which only heightened his passion. Kate's hands quickly moved to the front of Jake's shirt, and began unbuttoning it. Once she got to that last button, Jake helped move things along by shrugging out of his shirt. Kate pulled away from his kiss and said, "let's get that t-shirt off of you, too." He pulled away for just long enough to take that off, and as soon as he was bare chested, resumed his assault on her lips. Kate was rubbing her hands over his bare chest and back, and managed to find one of Jake's nipples. She gave it a quick tweak, and inwardly smiled when she heard him gasp. This led Jake to move his hands from Kate's back to her front, where he slowly began to make his way to her round, full breasts. He began to slowly trace his fingers around her plump nipples, feeling them stiffen under his touch. Kate let a low moan loose as he continued to stimulate her nipples. Jake pulled away for a moment, and said, "that shirt has got to go. It's only fair that we both are topless, is it not? Besides, if I'm to really appreciate what I'm feeling, it would be nice to see it, too!" She let out a laugh, but couldn't argue with the logic. She helped him get rid of her shirt, and they were sitting there face to face both without a shirt on. He gazed down to see those pink nipples with nice sized brown areolas peeking up at him, standing at attention. Kate leaned back in for a kiss, and Jake moved his hands back to her breasts to continue teasing her nipples. The kiss was broken when Jake decided he needed to see if those nipples tasted as good as they looked. He used his lips, and traced a trail of kisses down Kate's cheek, neck, and upper chest before landing on her beautiful breasts. He took her left one in his hand, and started teasing that nipple with his tongue. Slowly, he licked around the areola as Kate groaned softly. He smiled inwardly knowing that he must be doing something right. He finally made his way to the nipple itself, and it did indeed taste as good as it looked. He took it into his mouth, and sucked gently at first. With a sharp intake of her breath, Kate whispered, "harder." Who was he to argue with that? Following her instruction, Jake did indeed suck on it harder. This resulted in a louder moan from Kate as her hands found their way to the back of his head and she pushed him in closer to her breast. Jake kept sucking on her nipple for several moments when he decided to give it a little nip to see how she reacted. Kate's reaction was electric, as it resulted in her loudest moan yet. "Fuck, I love it when my nipples get bit," she said. He simply smiled and said, "good." "Shut up and keep at it," was her response. Not one to argue, he went back to the task at hand. After another minute or two, he thought her right nipple was feeling a bit neglected, so he shifted to the other side. He couldn't make up his mind as to which one tasted better, so he decided to call it a draw. As he was feasting on her nipples, Kate decided to kick things up a notch. Her hands began to work their way down to below his waist, and quickly found the bulge that had sprouted in Jake's pants. She started to rub over his pants, which resulted in a low, guttural moan from Jake. Kate just smiled as she rubbed and teased for a few more seconds before breaking away and moving towards his belt. She was able to get it unbuckled, which was quickly followed by the unbuttoning and unzipping of his pants. Kate found Jake's cock, and was able to get it sprung free through the hole in his boxers. He began to intensify his attention to her nipples as he felt her hand begin to stroke his cock. He began moaning as she teased the sensitive head of his cock. She loved to hear his reaction to her touching, and wanted to know how he would react to her mouth being wrapped around his cock. She gently pushed Jake away from her breasts, and when he began to protest, she put a finger to his lips and told him to be quiet and that she would be taking care of him momentarily. She pushed him back on the couch, and spread his legs apart. She told him to take his shoes off, and after doing so, she pulled his pants and boxers off and tossed them aside. Kate slowly began to tease Jake's cock with her breasts, slowly rubbing one nipple and then the other over the sensitive head. She took his cock and slid it between them letting it rub against her bare skin for a moment or two. Then, she knelt down on the floor and took the tip of his cock into her mouth. Jake felt a jolt of electricity go through his body as she began working on him. His ass raised a couple of inches off the couch with that first contact, and he quickly settled back into the couch to enjoy what she was doing to him. His hands went to the back of her head, not to force her further onto him, but just to touch her as she played with his cock. She took a quick peek up and smiled at Jake as she resumed what she was doing. She rolled the head of Jake's cock around her tongue while gently stroking his balls. Then she focused her tongue on the underside of his cock head, and began to lick rapidly. This felt incredible to Jake as he began to rise off the couch again. Kate took that opportunity to plunge Jake's cock into her mouth, almost to the root. Jake pulled gently on Kate's hair as she did this, and let loose with a deep moan. He couldn't believe how great this felt. He knew already that this was the best head he had ever received. Kate alternated almost deep throating Jake's cock with going to work on the underside of the head. Jake continued to moan, and finally uttered, "Fuck, this is amazing. I've never been sucked like this before. If you don't let up soon, I'm going to cum all over." Kate paused for a second and looked up at Jake. "As delicious as that sounds, I'm not ready for you to cum yet," she replied. She got off of her knees, and pulled Jake up from the couch. He stood there completely naked in front of this beauty who was half-naked herself. Kate said, "C'mon, let's take this down the hall to my bedroom. It's much more comfortable in there." "Sounds good to me, but with one condition. You lose those sweatpants so I can see that gorgeous ass for myself." "Only if you catch me!" And, with that, Kate took off in a light jog down the hall towards her bedroom, her round breasts bouncing alluringly. Jake smiled to himself, and followed quickly. He realized how ridiculous he looked with his hard cock bobbing up and down in front of him as he made his way down the hall, but he no longer cared. He was infatuated with the half-naked beauty in front of him and wanted to see the rest of her up close and personal. He caught up with Kate just as she reached the doorway to her room, and he gently wrapped his arms around her bare waist. Kate giggled as he did so, blurting "that tickles!" He gently turned her around and went in for a deep, searching kiss. They both were lost in that kiss almost instantly and would have stayed that way if not for Jake's erection poking into Kate's stomach. She broke the kiss, grabbed Jake's cock, and said "what do we have here??" Jake laughed and replied, "you know, you are responsible for this. If you hadn't given such incredible head I wouldn't be this hard. And, we need to do something about this clothing situation. You still have too many clothes on." "I guess I do," came the reply. Jake gently moved his hands from her waist and slowly began to pull her sweats down over her ass and her legs. He was a bit surprised to see no underwear underneath, but it just fueled his desire even more. Once the pants were down below her knees, he gently directed her to lay down on the bed as he removed them from her body. Journey Onward Ch. 01 He knelt down on the floor in front of the bed and began to kiss up and down Kate's shapely legs. Her legs were well built. Not fat, but very sturdy and incredibly sexy. Jake loved a woman with a little bit on her bones, and Kate fit that perfectly. He started with her calves, and slowly began working his way further up her legs. When he got to her thighs, Kate exclaimed, "you are driving me fucking insane. This feels amazing." Jake chuckled, and kept doing what he was doing. He loved the way she was reacting to him. As he kept kissing and nibbling her thighs, getting ever closer to that juncture between her legs, his hands started to wander upwards until it found her wetness. He took his attention away from his kissing and focused it squarely on her pussy, which was right in front of him. He noted with appreciation that she wasn't shaved, but rather neatly trimmed. He much preferred it that way, but was appreciative of all of the female anatomy. He gently took a finger, and began to trace around the outer set of lips. Kate began to squirm under him as he did so. He smiled to himself as he kept doing that for a few more moments. Jake then began to tease the inner lips, and slowly made his way to the hood of her clit. He had learned years ago from a very patient lover that one of the secrets to pleasing a woman was here. He teased the hood up as he gently began stroking Kate's clit. Kate let out a guttural moan as he did so. He kept stroking, and with his other hand, delicately took his index finger and slowly entered her. He continued to tease Kate this way for a few minutes as he could feel the heat radiating from her pussy intensify. He decided it was time to move in. He slowly removed his finger from inside Kate's pussy. She started to whimper in protest, but he moved in and placed a kiss on her inner lips before that protest could get too far. The whimper was quickly replaced with an appreciative moan. His lips moved up to his other finger on her clit, and once he reached it, he flicked his tongue on the sensitive nub. This intensified Kate's moan and she reached down to the back of Jake's head begging him for more. Jake took this as a sign of her satisfaction, and continued what he was doing. He alternated licking and sucking on her tender clit for awhile. He loved giving women orgasms this way, and he really liked the way that Kate tasted and felt under him. He brought his hand up again, and slipped a finger inside of her as he kept working on her with his mouth. This brought Kate's ass up off the bed with a reaction of passion. He knew he was on the right track. He could hear her breathing get more rapid and shallow and knew that she was getting close to cumming all over his face. He dove in with more determination, and began to lick her clit rapidly. Kate pushed Jake's face further between her thighs as he continued to work. Finally, the dam burst and Kate wailed out as her orgasm washed over her. Jake eased up slightly on his ministrations until Kate's shudders subsided and she pushed him away from her sensitive pussy. She said, "Holy fuck, Jake. You have to stop. I can't take it anymore. Get up here and let me taste me on you." He crawled up onto the bed next to Kate and leaned in for the kiss. Kate pulled him in and in a combination of kisses and licking, cleaned him up. She said, "That was absolutely amazing. I don't think I have ever cum like that from oral. But, I feel like things aren't all that fair right now. I've had an amazing orgasm, but you haven't had one yet." Jake wasn't concerned. He figured that he would have his shortly. He pulled Kate close to him and kissed her deeply. He told her, "Hang on a sec. I'll be right back. I need to get something from my pants." He ran out to the living room and grabbed the condom he had in his pocket and came back into the bedroom where he found Kate gently playing with her left nipple and her clit. "Hey, now. What are you doing? You couldn't wait for a few seconds?" He asked. "Nope. Shut up and get that thing on. I want you to fuck me and for you to cum hard." Jake couldn't argue with that, and quickly complied. He rolled the condom onto his hard cock, and lined himself in between Kate's spread legs. He was met with zero resistance as he slid into her wet and waiting pussy. They both moaned as he entered her. He was feeling on top of the world as he just sat there for a moment with his cock being enveloped by her warm pussy, and could have stayed there for a bit longer, but was brought back to earth by Kate's voice saying, "Um, this feels great, but I think it would feel even better if you were to start pounding me right about now." With a very weak apology, Jake had to agree that she was absolutely correct. He began to slide in and out of her. Slowly at first, but he was picking up the pace as it went along. Even with the condom, the sensations were absolutely incredible. He seemed to fit inside of her perfectly, and couldn't remember the last time he had felt like this during sex. Kate was enjoying things as well as she moved in time to Jake's thrusting and was moaning in pleasure to what was going on. By this point, Jake was starting to thrust rapidly into her, and his balls were slapping against her ass. He could hear her breathing start to go shallow again and felt that she was getting close to cumming once more. Kate let out an "Oh fuck, Jake...keep doing that...I'm just about there." Always one to comply with a woman's request, Jake did as directed. He felt her pussy clamp down around his cock as she came again, hard. "Fuuuuuuuuck, I'm cumming," she shouted out. Jake kept thrusting in and out until she came down from her orgasm. "Oh my God, Jake. What did you do to me?? You haven't cum yet, have you?" "Not yet, but I'm in no hurry. How about you get on your hands and knees and I do you from behind? I've been wanting a better look at that all night." Kate purred her assent and assumed the position on the edge of the bed. Jake slid in behind her, and slid into her waiting pussy. Jake loved doing it from behind. He was a bit of an ass man, and this was a great position to view a gorgeous ass up close. He started slow again, but got up to speed much quicker than before. He grasped Kate's hips as he continued thrusting. He thought he would test things out a bit to see how she reacted to some of the things he liked. He started by giving a swift, but gentle smack to her right ass cheek as he plowed in and out of her. She growled, "Mmmmmmm...yes, baby...smack that ass" in reply, so he knew that he was on the right track with that. He gave her ass another quick smack as he began to rub the other cheek with his left hand. He slowly moved his left hand closer to the crack of her ass, and pulled it apart slightly to get a glimpse of her ass hole. He took his left thumb, and gently grazed it over the puckered hole to gauge her reaction. He did this with a new partner to see where she stood on the issue. As he had hoped, it was met with a positive reaction. "Oh, yeah, Jake. I love getting my ass played with," was Kate's response. Jake grinned as he continued to thrust in and out of her. He let his thumb play with her ass some more, and filed it away for future use. He didn't want to use up all of his tricks on this first time. He felt that he was starting to get close, so he began to move faster, trying to get to the edge of orgasm. Kate had been fingering her clit during this and was building up to another explosive orgasm. She was on the brink when she said, "Pull out and cum on my ass. I want to feel your cum on me." Jake did as he was told just as she came again. He pulled the condom off his cock, stroked it a couple of times, and unloaded all over her bare ass. He usually wasn't a very big cummer, but this time it was more than normal. He took a step back and began to rub his load into her skin. She took the hint and joined him in rubbing it in. She flopped over on her back on the bed, and patted next to her indicating that he should joined her. He collapsed by her side, completely sated. Jake was broken from his reverie by the sound of Max whining in the seat behind him. He looked through the windshield and saw that North Platte was only another 10 miles up the road. He thought about continuing on for another hour or so, but a wave of exhaustion overcame him at that moment and he realized that stopping was the best bet. Besides, Max had been in the car long enough and resting would be good for both of them. So, he pulled of the interstate at North Platte and found a room for the night. After taking Max for one last walk, Jake collapsed on the bed and fell asleep. Tomorrow would be another step in his journey onward. To be continued... I hope you enjoyed this story. Don't forget to vote, and I welcome any feedback you may have. Journey Onward Ch. 02 This is Chapter 2 of Jake's Journey Onward. Hope you enjoy it! Jake stirred early the next morning in thanks to the wet sensation he felt on his face. He opened one eye to see Max's long tongue retreating from his face. He groaned and started to get out of bed. He looked at Max, shook his head, and said, "Seriously, dog. You couldn't wait for another hour?" But, he knew that the sooner he got on the road, the better. He had at least another 14 to 15 hours to get to South Haven, and he really didn't want to stay in another hotel tonight. He took Max out so he could take care of his business. Once he got back in the room, he took a quick shower, fed Max, grabbed some food for himself, and was out the door and on the road. He knew it would be a long day, plus he'd have to fight the traffic just outside of Chicago. It was one of the reasons he wanted to make it to Omaha last night, but it just didn't work that way. So, he would just have to make do with the way things were. It was sort of his outlook on life these days in general. He was anxious to get to Michigan. He had been able to find a nice house just a couple of blocks from Lake Michigan. The rent was surprisingly reasonable, but it did help that the owner of the place was a good friend of his aunt and uncle. He liked the idea of starting over, and felt it was what he needed in his life right now. A new job, a new location, and at some point a new partner. He thought about staying in Colorado, but it was just full of too many old memories. As he looked around, he realized that he yearned to be back near the big water of his childhood in Michigan. The economy there hadn't been the greatest in recent years, but he was able to find a good job and was excited for the new start. He hadn't been back to Michigan for a few years. The last time was his grandfather's funeral. He knew that it would be a challenge to get established in a new place, but it was for the best. Plus, it was in a part of the country he knew well and loved. He and Kate had big plans for the future before she got sick. They had talked about quitting their IT jobs and opening a coffee shop somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, or buying an RV and traveling around the US working at various campgrounds until they were ready to move onto the next place, or even opening a bed and breakfast up in the Colorado mountains. But, those dreams came crashing down when she finally succumbed to the disease. He would have to come up with new dreams that didn't involve her. He looked through the windshield and discovered he was already coming up to Omaha. He was making good time, but a quick peek at the gas gauge indicated that the car needed some more gas if he were to keep making good time. He looked in the back seat, and Max was starting to stir some, too. He was sure that a stretch of the legs and a bathroom break for the pooch would be a good idea as well. Jake decided to get through Omaha and to the other side of the Missouri River and into Iowa before making that stop. A little less than half an hour later, and he was pulling into a gas station just inside Iowa and filled the car up and got some snacks for himself. There was an empty field across the street, so he let Max loose for a few minutes so he could take care of his business and get some exercise before getting back into the car to continue the journey. The rolling terrain of Iowa went streaming by the windows as he kept driving eastward. The closer Jake got to his destination, the more hope he felt that he could start a new life. He loved Kate, and always would, but he was still relatively young at 44 and she had told him that she wanted him to find happiness once she was gone. At first, he was very resistant to that idea, but he realized that to close off his heart for the next 30 plus years as a tribute to his late wife would only breed more loneliness and sadness. It would be a disservice to the love that they shared. As usual, Kate was right and he was starting to come around. It had been nearly a year since she had passed, and those that had been through this had said the first year was the toughest, but that many times things were better after that year. He had doubted that at first, but was beginning to see that was true. Not to say that there weren't moments where he was hit with an overwhelming sense of grief, but those times were becoming less frequent and of shorter duration and intensity. His hope was that he could find someone as adventurous as Kate. That applied both in and out of the bedroom. He had been a bit timid when it came to taking chances in life, but she had helped him out of that shell. That's not to say that he was ever as daring as she was, but he was more daring now than he ever used to be. Picking up and moving halfway across the country was an example of that. Jake had always been sexual, but that became even more true as he started his relationship with Kate. She was the adventurous one, and she often pushed Jake to what he thought were his limits and beyond. He started to drift back to one of the first times that this had happened. They had been talking about fantasies and some of the boldest things they had done. Jake had vivid fantasies, but his actual experiences were a bit mild. He recalled that perhaps his wildest sexual experience had been having sex in college with a girl in the middle of a road at 3:00 in the morning. She had laughed, and said that sounded like fun, but that one of the things that had turned her on the most was going to a swinger's party a few years before. Jake had always wondered about those sorts of things, but never had the opportunity to do it. He wasn't sure if he would have actually been able to do it without chickening out. He mentioned that to Kate, and she said that there was a motel on the east side of Denver that catered to swingers. She had never been herself, but she had heard about it and would be willing to check it out together. Jake thought that sounded like a good time, and was game to go and see what it was about. They talked about what to expect and how to react, and they felt that they would go in with open minds, and if it felt right, to give it a try. Jake was nervous, too. He was very turned on by the idea of seeing other people engaging in sexual activity, but he wasn't sure how he would react if others watched him. In the end, though, he told himself to relax and have a good time. The motel was in kind of a rundown part of town, but it was secured with a gate that only guests had access to. People could get either a room or a pool pass to visit, and if you were a single man, you would only be able to get in if you were to get a room for the night. It wasn't the Ritz, but it was a decent place to hang out with like-minded adults for a fun time. Jake and Kate decided to get a room. They went with one of the less fancy rooms, but it still came equipped with endless porn running on the TV, a good sized tub, and an attachment for a sex swing hanging from the ceiling, not to mention the mirrors that covered the walls. Some of the more deluxe rooms had a "sex machine" bench in a room off the bedroom, whirlpool tubs, and bigger beds. All things that sounded like fun for another time, perhaps. They arrived fairly early in the evening. From what they had heard, the pool area really didn't get rolling until 10:00 or so. They figured they would get there and be able to get a feel for the place, perhaps have a couple of drinks and relax before things got too crazy. They checked into their room, and Jake chuckled a bit at the décor with the mirrors covering the walls and the ceiling. "Looks like the set of a 70's porno in here." "What's wrong with that," asked Kate. "Nothing at all. Just pointing it out is all. It is actually a bit of a turn-on." "Okay, now you are just talking crazy. Next thing you'll say is that you want to redecorate the bedroom like this." That caused Jake to laugh loudly. "Well, I'm not sure I would go that far." Jake got the alcohol out and started making a couple of drinks for them. They figured they would hang out in the room, maybe get cleaned up a little bit, and watch a little porn for a bit before heading to the pool area. Kate came out of the bathroom and sat down on the bed beside Jake. He handed her the drink, and then leaned in for a kiss. "I can't believe we are here," he said. "Me, either. This will be quite the experience. Even though I went to that swinger's party once, this has a much different feel to it." They clinked glasses and took a sip of their drinks as they settled onto the bed. Jake took the remote and turned the TV on to see what was on. Kate said, "We may as well jump right to the porn! Forget those other stations and let's watch what we came here to watch." That got a laugh out of Jake as he kept flipping through the channels to get to the porn. Finally, he reached them and slowed down the rate of clicking until they settled on one of the channels that was featuring a foursome enjoying each other. Jake turned and asked Kate, "Were you ever involved in something like that?" Kate replied, "No. I've only been in one-on-one situations with others around me. Never where there were more people involved. It looks like it could be fun." Jake had to agree. He had always harbored the "typical" male fantasy of a threesome with two other women, but had never experienced that. He figured that adding another guy into the mix wouldn't be that big of a deal. It would just be two couples having sex all together. He felt a little stirring in his pants at the thought of it, and rubbed his cock a little bit as he took another sip of his drink. He wondered if Kate would go for it if the opportunity presented itself, and figured that he might soon find out. Kate looked over and said, "Don't be getting all worked up before we even get down to the pool. Although this video is pretty hot." Jake laughed and removed his hand from his clothed cock. "Would this be something that would interest you," he asked. She thought about it for a moment and said, "I think so. I mean, it isn't anything I would want to do on a regular basis, but I think it would be fun and exciting to try at least once. Are you trying to ask me if we can do this tonight?" "I guess so. I hadn't given it much thought until we got here and started watching this video. I don't want to do anything that would cause problems for us or that would be uncomfortable for either of us, but I think it could be fun. But, I'm perfectly content just watching others have sex while we are watched." Kate thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, we can see how things go. If the opportunity comes up and it feels right for us both, then we can give it a shot. I do think it is incredibly hot, and I know that I was turned on by seeing other groups go at it at that party. I just wasn't with anyone that I could trust that night if things got weird." "Okay, then. We can just take things as they come. I want this to be a fun night for us, and not anything that will erode what we have. I love you, and I love what we have. This should be an enhancement and not a destructive force." Jake leaned over and gave Kate a tender kiss on her forehead and then another one on her lips. "I love you, too, Jake. So much. Thank you for being here with me. Tonight will be fun, and we will be stronger at the end of it." Jake downed the rest of his drink and took a look at the time. It was just about 8:00, and he decided it was time to get in the shower. He turned to Kate and said, "I'm getting in the shower. Want to join me? It's plenty big for the both of us." Kate said, "I think I will pass. I have the feeling that if we both get in, we will never make it down to the pool. You get cleaned up and I will get in right after you." Jake disrobed and took a quick shower to clean the dirt of the day off. He didn't bother with washing his hair, especially since it was likely that it would get wet in the pool and hot tub. He got out, dried off and didn't bother dressing. Kate came in right behind him and got in the shower to get clean herself. He was flipping through the porn channels when Kate came out of the bathroom toweling herself off. She looked at him and said, "What's the deal? Why aren't you dressed?" Jake replied, "What's the point? We are just going to be taking our clothes off when we get to the pool. I figured I'd just throw a robe on before we head down." "Ah, good point. I hadn't thought of it that way!" Kate followed suit and didn't bother to get dressed. Once she was ready, she grabbed her robe and asked Jake, "you ready?" Jake stood and put on his robe and they headed out the door down to the pool area. They didn't quite know what to expect, but when they walked into the area they were greeted with what seemed like a standard hotel pool set up. There was a hot tub in a little alcove just off the main entry to the pool and then a good sized pool extended to the other end of the room. The only differences between this pool and other hotels was that the lighting was down a little low and the fact that there were naked people lounging about. They found a couple of empty chairs that lined the pool and sat down for a moment. Taking the scene in, they saw a handful of couples throughout the room. It was still fairly early, so they knew that things would get busier within the next hour or so. They were surprised that the couples that were there were a mix of ages and body types. If anything, they were on the younger side of the attendees being in their early 30's. They relaxed when all of this sunk in and realized that they had nothing to worry about. The other people weren't a bunch of young supermodels. They were just regular people. Jake stood up and took a drink out of the cup he brought down to the pool, looked down at Kate and said, "Well, we may as well get this party started" and undid his robe and placed it on the chair. Kate just rolled her eyes and stood up and took her robe off, too. She said "Where to now? The pool or the hot tub?" He took a look around and of the other people in the room, there were a few more in the pool than the hot tub. "Let's try the hot tub first. Loosen ourselves up and maybe chat with some of the people there." He held out his hand for Kate. She took it and they headed over to the hot tub together. There were two couples already in the tub, and it appeared that they were all there together. As they got over to the tub, they could see that one of the women had a cock in each hand under the water and was slowly stroking them up and down. Both men seemed to be very appreciative of the attention they were receiving, and one of them was busily fingering the other woman that was sitting there. All in all, they appeared to be having a very nice time. The men eyed Kate appreciatively as she led the way up the steps into the tub. It was the women's turn to ogle as Jake followed close behind. They all smiled and nodded towards Jake and Kate as they found seats in the tub across from the foursome that was already there. They slid into water and got comfortable in the hot water, all the while trying not to stare too much at what was happening across the tub from them. The tub was large. It could probably seat another half dozen people comfortably. There was no doubt that the foursome across the way was having a good time, and it caused Jake's cock to stir a little bit. He placed his hand on Kate's knee and slowly started sliding it down her thigh. She glanced over at him as he continued to slide his hand down towards her pussy. He looked back and shrugged as if to say, "When in Rome...." He found the juncture between her legs and she spread them a bit wider for him as he slowly started to play with her. He found her clit, and stroked it lazily as they continued to watch the group across from them. She let out a low moan as he hit the right spot. One of the men who was sitting across from them glanced over at the sound and gave an approving smirk while continuing to get his cock stroked. Kate decided that she should be paying attention to Jake's cock, and dropped her hand under the water to start stroking it. Jake looked at her and smiled. They were both feeling fairly comfortable here and were enjoying themselves. He quickly got hard as she continued to stroke. There was no urgency in either of their movements. It was very relaxed and a mood enhancement more than anything else. The group across from them shifted position a little bit, where one of the men got out of the hot tub and sat on the edge, his erection bobbing up and down as he moved. The woman that had been off to the side, got between his legs and began to give him head. Her ass and pussy were exposed to Jake and Kate as she got to work on the man's cock. The other couple of the group got in behind her and started to play with her bare ass and pussy. They alternated fingering and going down on her. She quickly began to react to their ministrations and was soon wiggling around. This had a huge effect on Kate and Jake as they were in awe of what they were seeing just a few feet away. Kate began to stroke Jake's cock faster, and his fingering of Kate became more intense. The woman across the hot tub began moaning, and finally came. She was helped to the side of the hot tub to recover by the others in her group. After a minute or two, the group got up and left the hot tub area to rest a bit before continuing their fun for the night. Kate looked over to Jake and said, "That was so fucking hot. I've never seen anything like that up close before." Jake could only nod his head in agreement. "That was pretty incredible. I'm so turned on right now. I'm a bit overheated, actually." With that, Jake hopped up onto the side of the hot tub, his erection standing tall in front of him as he did so. Kate looked at him and his cock and said, "Well, I can't let that go to waste." She took his cock into her mouth and started working on it. Jake just leaned back and enjoyed the feeling of Kate's magic mouth on his cock. He was still in awe of her talented mouth and tongue. The fact that he was getting head in a semi-public setting such as this blew his mind as well. While Kate continued her work on him, Jake looked over and saw an older couple make their way towards the hot tub. If he had to guess, Jake would say they were in their early 50's. They were both tall and thin, and very attractive. The woman had black hair with a little bit of grey; small, but perky breasts, slightly rounded hips, and a completely shaved pubic area. The man was bald, with a nice build, and a good sized cock. They climbed the stairs and down into the tub. The settled in across from Jake and Kate, and Jake saw the woman lean in and whisper something to her partner. He smiled and nodded and then they both looked across the tub to Jake as if to ask for approval to touch Kate. Jake smiled and nodded at them granting permission to do so. The woman moved forward and touched the back of Kate's thigh and slowly moved her hand up to her round ass cheek. Kate jumped at the touch and looked up at Jake with a questioning look. He looked down at her and whispered that it was ok. Kate relaxed at that, and the woman continued to stroke Kate's ass. The man moved across the tub and started on Kate's other leg. Kate let out a low moan at the attention as she continued to work on Jake's cock. She let out a gasp as she felt a finger begin to move around the outside of her pussy lips. She was starting to get very wet at the attention. Jake looked over Kate's back, and saw the woman use her finger to tease Kate's pussy. This visual really got him aroused, and it felt like his cock grew as Kate began to tongue the head of his cock. The woman then leaned in, and began to tease Kate's pussy with her lips. She gently kissed and nibble them. Journey Onward Ch. 02 Her partner snuck a finger into Kate's pussy and gathered up a finger-full of her natural lubrication. He pulled his finger out and slowly began tracing around the puckered ring of her ass. Kate was moaning at this time, and Jake felt the vibration move through his cock down into his balls. The moan turned into a very audible gasp as the man's finger thrust inside of her ass. Jake could tell that Kate was ready to cum hard between the woman's oral ministrations and the man's fingering of her ass. Jake could also feel his orgasm building up. He wanted to hold out and try to time it with Kate's. Jake could tell that the woman had begun to work on Kate's clit. He could recognize her reaction to that anywhere. The man had replaced his finger in Kate's ass with his mouth, so she was receiving oral on both her ass and clit. Jake was feeling pressure build up in his balls and knew that his orgasm was imminent. Just as he hissed out, "Oh, fuck, Kate...I'm cumming," Kate's orgasm hit her in full force. She pulled Jake's cock out of her mouth so she wouldn't bite down on it. She was still shaking with the after effects of her orgasm as the mystery couple helped her up onto the side of the hot tub. Kate wiped some of Jake's cum off of her face as she tried to catch her breath. She looked over at the couple and said, "Holy shit. That was amazing. I have never gotten off like that before. It was one of the most intense orgasms of my life, and I got it from two complete strangers." She extended her hand to them and said, "Hi, I'm Kate." The man reached out to take her hand and replied, "Nice to meet you Kate. I'm Chris, and this is my wife Pam. It was our pleasure. We sure enjoyed giving it to you!" Jake piped in, "And I'm Jake. Nice to meet you all." They laughed at how surreal and nonchalant the whole experienced seemed. Chris and Pam admitted that they were not first timers to the hotel, and that they couldn't resist the sight of Kate's exposed, round ass. They said that usually they kept to themselves and enjoyed watching others, but that they would occasionally participate in things if the mood was right. The four of them continued talking for a while in the hot tub. They would occasionally switch places with each other so they were next to someone different to chat. As time went on, hands began to find their way to the person next to them, so they were stroking and caressing one another. Jake felt Pam's hand reach for his cock and gently stroke it as they were talking about what they each did for a living. At about that point, Jake said, "If Kate doesn't have any objection, would the two of you like to come to our room for some drinks and to keep the conversation going? I worry that if I stay in this tub any longer, I'm going to turn into a prune!" They all laughed, and Kate said, "That sounds like a great idea." Chris and Pam agreed, so the four of them got out of the tub and went to gather their clothes from the sides of the pool. After drying off and putting their robes and other clothes back on, Jake and Kate led the way out down to the room. Jake offered up drinks to everyone, and they eagerly accepted. They all found a spot on the bed and sat down. Jake and Kate were in their robes, although by this point, they were hanging open. Chris and Pam were still dressed from the walk down from the pool. Chris stood up and said, "I hope you don't mind, but I think I'm going to take my pants off and get a bit more comfortable." Everyone else laughed and agreed that sounded like a good plan. Pam did the same, so all four of them were now in one state of undress or another. They picked up the conversation from where they had left off at the pool area. They were sitting in a circle on the bed. Jake was up towards the headboard, Kate to his left, then Chris, and finally Pam to his right. They were soon deep into their conversation, and would occasionally break into side conversations with the person next to them. After a couple more drinks, hands started to wander some. Jake happened to look across to Kate and Chris, and noticed Kate's hand on Chris's bare thigh slowly moving up towards his boxers. At that moment, Jake felt Pam's hand wander up his leg towards the bottom edge of his robe. He looked down at the hand and then at Pam who just smiled. Pam said, "I think we have been talking enough. If you are game, we'd like to play a bit with you guys." Jake looked over at Kate and asked, "What do you think? You OK with this?" Kate smiled back at Jake and said, "Why not? Let's have some fun tonight. It's why we came here, right?" Jake couldn't argue that point, and went to undo his robe. Pam reached in and grabbed his quickly hardening cock. He shrugged the robe off and laid back on the bed. Pam took that as an opportunity to dive in and take Jake's cock into her mouth. Jake let out a low moan as he felt Pam's wet and warm mouth take him in. He looked over at Kate and Chris, and saw Chris getting off the bed to take his underwear and shirt off. Kate was helping with the boxer shorts and greedily took Chris's cock into her mouth while she sat on the bed. Pam was working on Jake's cock when he tapped her on the shoulder and indicated that he would like for her to swing around into a 69. Pam eagerly complied, and her ass and pussy were soon in Jake's face. Jake spread her outer lips with his hands and dove in. He quickly found her clit with his mouth and alternated sucking and licking it. Pam's reaction was to take Jake's cock even deeper into her mouth. Jake took his finger, and began teasing Pam's pussy. She started to grind on his face, which led to him sliding a finger in her while he continued to work on her clit with his mouth. Jake felt his cock sliding in and out of Pam's mouth, and was enjoying the feeling immensely. He decided to see how she would react, so he removed his mouth from her clit, and traced his tongue up from her clit, over her pussy and straight to her ass. He felt a momentary break in her work on his cock as she let out a gasp. She quickly resumed what she was doing, so he figured that she was enjoying it. He traced around her bud while continuing to work her pussy with his fingers. Pam sped up the movement on Jake's cock in reaction to this. He slid his finger out of her pussy, and spread her ass cheeks open wide. He started stabbing at her hole with his tongue as she deep-throated him. He knew that he couldn't take much more of this without cumming, so he gently smacked the side of her ass to get her attention and said, "Oh, fuck...I can't take much more. I need to take a break for a few." Pam reluctantly removed Jake's cock from her mouth and turned to face him. As she was doing that, they both caught a glance at what Chris and Kate had been doing while they were busy. They could see that Kate was bent over the side of the bed, and Chris was fucking her hard from behind. Their movement caught Kate's attention, and she said to Jake, "Get over here and let me suck your cock. I want two of my holes filled right now." Not one to disobey, Jake slid over within Kate's reach and she started to pick up where Pam had left off, taking him into her mouth. Pam was the odd one out at this point and decided to remedy that. She stood up on the bed, and straddling Kate's head, stuck her pussy right in Jake's face. Jake couldn't resist, and dove back in to pick up where he had left off. This went on for a few minutes until Chris backed out. He said, "I'm getting close to cumming, and I'm not quite ready for it yet!" The delicate puzzle came apart as everyone shifted around on the bed. Pam flopped down on her back near the head of the bed with her legs spread. Kate eyed her open pussy and looked up at her. "May I," she asked. "Go for it," came the reply. Kate took the spot where Jake had been just a bit earlier and began to taste Pam's pussy. This left Kate's backside up in the air and exposed. Jake had never been able to resist this side of Kate, so he decided it was time to take advantage of that once again. He came in behind her and slid inside of Kate's warm, wet, and waiting pussy. Kate gave a start as Jake hit bottom, and his balls smacked against her clit, but she never broke contact with Pam. Not wanting to be left out of the action himself, Chris went over to his wife's waiting mouth and watched as she eagerly took him in. They were all getting into it, and the sounds of great sex soon filled the air. No one was exactly sure who started to cum first, but they seemed to recall Chris being the first to say, "Oh, God, Pam. I'm just about there." Pam took him out of her mouth long enough to say, "Shoot it all over my tits, baby." Kate piped up, "No way. Shoot it down here. I want to taste it on Pam's pussy." Chris wasn't about to argue with that, so he shifted down the bed with his cock in his hand as he got above Kate's mouth and Pam's pussy. Kate replaced her mouth with her fingers and took the tip of Chris's cock into her mouth. Chris let out a moan as Kate got him back to where he was just moments ago, right to the edge of orgasm. Chris pulled back as he felt that electric rush from his balls shoot up as he started to cum. He gave his cock another stroke or two and he was shooting all over his wife's pussy. Kate eagerly picked up the pace to mix the wetness coming from Pam with Chris's cum. This enthusiasm sent Pam over the edge as she reached down and pushed Kate's face deeper between her legs as she came hard. Jake, seeing the action in front of him knew that he couldn't hold on for much longer and started to plunge harder into Kate's pussy. Kate, sensing the increased pace was getting real close to an orgasm of her own and took one of her hands and began to finger her clit to get her over the edge. Jake decided to help out Kate's cause and began to finger her asshole, because he knew this would send her right over there edge. Sure enough, within seconds, Jake felt Kate's pussy walls clamp down as she started her orgasm. This was more than Jake could handle and he was soon pumping his load into Kate. Jake and Kate separated and flopped down onto the bed next to Chris and Pam. There was silence for a few moments until Pam spoke up. "That was amazing." That got a chorus of groans of agreement from the rest of the group, although none of them were really able to form coherent sentences at that point. They all rested there for a bit, when Chris and Pam disentangled themselves from the pile and started to put their clothes back on. "We had a great time," Pam said. "But, I think it is time for us to head home. It's a lot later than we thought." Kate and Jake stood up and hugs were exchanged. "Perhaps we will be back here together again," Jake said. "If so, I would certainly be up for a repeat." Chris said, "Absolutely. That would be great. We will keep our eyes open for you. This was a fantastic time." With that, Chris and Pam were out the door. Jake leaned back on the bed and asked, "You okay?" Kate replied, "Never better. That was great, but I'm beat. Let's get some sleep. I love you so much." "I love you, too." _______________________________________ The thoughts of that night trailed off as Jake realized he was approaching Chicago. It wasn't quite sunset yet, but it would be soon. He wanted to get through the mess that was Chicago before it got much later, but he realized that he needed to go to the bathroom, get some gas, and let Max stretch his legs. He soon found a service area where he could take care of all three things. As he was walking Max, he realized that although he and Kate had gone back to the motel a few more times over the years, they never did see Pam and Chris again and they never had quite the same experience that they did that night. Max finished his business and Jake finished his and they got back into the car for the last few hours of the trip. They were able to get past Chicago and just into Indiana as the sky turned to night and Jake felt that they were in the home stretch. Another couple of hours and he was seeing the signs for South Haven and his new start. He drove through the quiet streets of South Haven as it was still the off season. Another month or so, and the tourists and summer residents would be out in full force. He was able to find his new house with no problem at all and pulled in the driveway behind the house. He got out of the car, stretched his legs, and let Max out of the car. Max quickly sniffed around his new territory and set to marking it as Jake found the key to the house in the lockbox as promised. He took his bag out of the car, locked things up, and called over to Max. He stepped in the house and took a deep breath. He was in his new home and at that point, he knew that everything was going to be fine. He would make it after all. To Be Continued... Thank you to all that voted after chapter one.
