Date with a Rock

By Karl Five

“Think you’ll ever settle down anywhere?” I ask Rick.
“Perhaps. If I find the right place. Right now, I’m just not sure what I want to do with the rest of my life. Maybe I’ll find that out somewhere along the way.”
Okay, that’s promising. Sort of. Best not to push it. But his arms around me felt so good, and his cock inside me felt even better.

As Rick and Jerry head west together, their first stop is Asheville, one of the most interesting and quirky cities in North Carolina. When they decide to check out one of the local tourist attractions, they encounter some unexpected revelations about each other, a bit of excitement, and -- what else? -- several interludes of hot sex.

My goal in writing this series is twofold: In each book, I intend to come up with differing ways that my protagonists can enjoy each others’ bodies, while at the same time adding psychological, emotional, and sometimes action/adventure on top of that.
I hope you’ll decide to follow along with Rick and Jerry while they pull their lives together, face their fears and failures, and search for their dreams.

The single most important thing to me is that I’m a writer. Oh sure, I’ve done a lot of other things during my life, but none of those things mean as much to me as this does. However, I'm not trying to earn a living as a writer. All I really want is to have people read what I've written. That's why I have everything free.I write erotica because I consider sex to be one of the most interesting and important parts of life. Not something dirty and shameful, but rather something that's capable of bringing great joy. Or, unfortunately, great sorrow, if used wrongly. I sometimes deal with that aspect of it also.My Orgasm Incorporated Series is basically hardcore omnisexual erotica, partly Science Fiction, but mostly focused on sex of all kinds and descriptions.My Rick&Jerry Series is gay male erotica, part romance and part adventure, with a large helping of hot sex added in for good measure.I enjoy playing around with sex in my writing, especially in my Orgasm Incorporated Series. I deliberately try to turn sex upside down and inside out. I like to explore the limits of fantasies and try to figure out why they work. Sometimes I come up with things that aren't even possible in the real world, or if they are, they wouldn't feel good at all.As for me personally, I worked in healthcare for much of my life, but I’m now retired, so I spend much of my spare time writing. I live in the Sunny South, not too far from the hurricane-ridden shores of North Carolina, along with my partner, my cat, and a longtime friend.I can be contacted at [e-mail]. I'm always glad to hear from my readers. And, of course, I'd greatly appreciate a review, if you enjoyed my ebooks.

So once I had decided not to kill myself, Rick and I started driving west. We stopped at the first auto parts store we encountered and Rick bought a clamp to fasten my fuel line securely in place. That much I probably could have done by myself, but I just watched him do it.

I couldn’t help thinking I’d have been dead by now, if the fuel line hadn’t gotten disconnected and stranded me by the roadside on my way to the Neuse River Bridge. Instead, Rick came along and got my car started, so I had offered him a ride.

I won’t go back over all the details. Suffice it to say that without Rick there to stop me, my attempt at suicide would likely have been successful.

But all that was yesterday. Today, we’re heading out of New Bern together in my car. Where are we going? All we’ve decided on so far is the general direction: west.

By late morning, we’re approaching Raleigh. We had both been pretty quiet until then, exchanging a few casual remarks, but little more. After the stress of the previous evening (not to mention the sex we had shared later on), neither of us had gotten the greatest night’s sleep, so we were both pretty tired, despite the breakfast we’d had at Hardee’s, and the several cups of coffee that had come with it.

Now, however, it’s time for a decision.

So, I begin, do we want to go directly west from here on I-40, or shall we take another route?

Rick shrugs. I guess it’s as good as any other direction. If we go back east, we’ll run into the Atlantic Ocean. If we go too far north, we’ll hit the megalopolis stretching from DC to New York City. I don’t much care for big cities, and I’m guessing you don’t either.

I nod. I’d been living as far outside of Jacksonville as I could, and still commute to my job. And Jacksonville isn’t exactly a big city. It’s a town totally dominated by Camp Lejeune, one of the largest Marine Corps bases in this part of the country.

South is just going to get hotter and hotter, I point out. And we’d eventually hit Florida. I don’t know about you, but I’m not quite ready to retire to the Old Folks’ Home State just yet.

I guess that leaves only one other choice.

Yep. Keep your eye out for the exit to 1-40, will ya?

Will do.

It gets quiet again. I don’t want quiet. What I really want is to find out how long Rick intends to ride with me, not to mention whether he wants to have sex again, or if last night was a one-time thing. True, he’s said a few things already that sound pretty hopeful for the future, but I’ve run into too many people who talk big but never follow up.

Now what can I say that won’t seem too intrusive, but might start a conversation?

So, Rick, do you really have no destination in mind?

"Nope. Just traveling around. When I retired from the Marine Corps some months ago, I realized I hadn’t seen much of my
