Coming Arrival

By Adam Carpenter

Johnny Lee Capstone never thinks about settling down. As the owner and proprietor of Capstone’s Dude Ranch, he tends to lust after the men who book vacations at his resort in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Sexy, insatiable, he focuses his attention on one man to feed his urgent needs.

But something is about to change as he approaches his 40th birthday, which coincidentally falls on Christmas Day. From December 1st until the 25th, Johnny Lee decides to take a sabbatical from hid desires, if he can. It’s a chance for him to reexamine his life as a new year nears.

Someone else has something else in mind, a challenge Johnny Lee finds confounding ... and intriguing. It’s the first day of the holiday season when that initial package arrives, with the simple phrase stating, “Just the Advent.” A beginning.

Each day another missive arrives. Who is sending them, and why? Is it the fact he’s hitting a new decade giving him a reason to rethink the way he lives his life? Is the sexuality he thrives on about to alter him? Maybe, he’ll find a future.

Coming Arrival

Prologue

Seasons came and seasons went, and right now, fall was on the wane and the winter months were soon approaching. Such was the cyclical life in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, where a place known as Capstone’s Dude Ranch readied for the holidays, shutting down for the final month of the calendar year. Time for family now, time for themselves after offering up the outdoors to their clients, showing them this world, one they so loved and treasured.

Everything about Capstone’s was about beauty.

And that included its proprietor, a man by the name of Johnny Lee.

Handsome by Hollywood standards, hot by gay standards, add in a fierce libido and what one saw was a man with a virile appetite for all…for food, for life, definitely for men. It was an annual tradition that the resort he ran, alongside his father and stepmother, closed down for the month of December. It was, for Johnny Lee, the advent of a new year. His birthday happened to coincide with Christmas Day, which is why, always feeling gipped of gifts occurring on only one day of the year, he took advantage of opportunities that went beyond the passing of months. In other words, if he saw something, someone, he wanted, he grabbed it. Unwrapped it. He tended to fuck it.

Right now, his prey was a pretty twink who went by the name of Trevor.

Capstone’s offered the dude ranch experience for those wishing to explore the mountains, ride horses, learn the ropes of rodeo life and that of the great outdoors. But with a gay angle. With a rainbow flag flying high above the property, there was no mistaking that Capstone’s represented a world where men could be men, macho in their outdoor exploits but also sexual in their indoor desires. The resort had made a name for itself, and in turn, made a name for Johnny Lee. His face alone could book a full week, and that’s what always happened. Eight men, all staying at the ranch for seven days and exploring their inner man.

Johnny Lee eyed Trevor. He was on the porch as the sun had begun to set, just after six in the evening. Night would fast fall, opening the possibilities of a final night for these men at the ranch. With each of the eight who had traveled from all parts, Johnny Lee would usually single out one guy that would be claimed as his prize. Usually, it would happen on the first night, Johnny making his choice and having his way with them the entire week. Yet this year it was different.

These men had been here for six nights. And he’d slept with none of them. Hadn’t stopped them. Enough come had streamed to fill a…stream.

But what was going on with him?

It happened like this every year with Johnny. His birthday loomed, and he wondered how much longer he could keep up this transient life of nameless sex, faceless men. Desire was strong, but as he approached his fortieth birthday, something was shifting inside him. His heart felt things differently. Sure, he loved to fuck a guy from behind, it kept things loose, casual, a way to keep his distance and not establish eye contact, nothing beyond the now. But he felt different this year. Was it his advancing age? Was it how happy his father and stepmother were? Was that something he wanted? The strong connection?

Conflict raged within him. Even as he stared at Trevor.

Johnny Lee felt his cock start to stiffen.

The guests were all gathered on the outdoor patio, enjoying drinks while a fire blazed to cut the chill. The air was cold, the early hints of winter surrounded them. Johnny Lee looked at them: two couples in their forties, comfortable in their companionship. Was he jealous of what they had? Over the course
