Chapter 35
After breakfast and the usual morning chores, they began the task of enclosing the lodge in deerskin. They punctuated this with several sessions of lovemaking, during which Nils perfected his skill at giving Sam pleasure. Sometimes these times were passionate and lusty; others were tender and gentle. It was clear to Sam that he and Nils had both found something they had wanted for a long time. Tiring of disrobing and dressing again, they finally worked naked so as to have easier access to each other as the need arose.
“Well, we didn’t get much done today,” Nils commented as they lay on the ground inside the semi-completed lodge. Sam stretched out on his back with Nils curled against him. Sam could see the sky turning orange through the framework of the unfinished structure.
“Oh, I’d say we accomplished quite a lot,” Sam replied, giving Nils a kiss and running his hand from his chest over his rippled abdomen, massaging his testicles.
