After a long year at work and college, summer drew close yet again. My friend, Derek, and I had already reserved a lakeside house over part of the summer. It was expensive, but we'd managed to make enough money over the summer to make the trip possible. While I worked at retail over the year, my friend landed a job as a wine server at a family winery in our town.
Currently, we were on the way up to the cabin, fueling up our car once more at a Circle K gas station. I rested in the car's passenger seat, watching as Derek filled up our tank. I glanced away as he continued, not wanting to be caught staring. Since about six months ago, odd urges have plagued my mind. I've wanted to experiment, but I know that it would be a mistake if I actually did because it might embarrass me. Especially if I was just curious and didn't end up being bisexual or gay.
Derek opened the driver side door, and he climbed back into the car. He glanced at me, and he drove out of the gas station's parking lot after making sure the car's mirrors were adjusted correctly. The mountainous terrain started to fly by as we zoomed down the highway, and I found myself relaxing. We drove higher and higher up until we arrived at a medium-sized town. The town was nothing special, but Derek turned inside because we needed to head through in order to reach the lake.
"I'm so excited for this trip bro. I have like five six-packs in the trunk," Derek said. I nodded as he drove, and we grew closer and closer to our lakeside cabin. Or at least, that is what the Apple Maps app said. But, the app was accurate, and we arrived at a beautiful single floor cabin. It was made out of wood, and there was a lock on the door that required a four-number code.
"You got the code?" Derek asked.
"Yep, I got it." I said, getting out of the car. He also got out, and he began unloading the trunk as I punched in the four number code. I glanced at him as I saw him lifting our suitcases out of the car's trunk. I blushed a little. While he was skinny, his arms were still muscular nonetheless. I liked seeing the way that his shoulders looked as he lifted something somewhat heavy.
Derek saw me looking at him, and I guess that I had smiled on accident because he smiled back. His short hair and symmetrical face were so handsome. He carried over our suitcases, and I opened the door for him. I couldn't help but stare at his ass as he walked past me, and I blushed again, turning away so he couldn't see. I went and grabbed a few packs of beer, and I carried them into the house.
As we unpacked, I heard Derek go into the restroom. I didn't think much of it, and I continued putting my clothes into the different drawers within my room. I had a nice full-size bed. It wasn't a Queen, but at least it wasn't a twin bed. Derek had called dibs on the king-sized bed. And, you gotta respect dibs.
Then, I heard him move around the house again after coming out of the restroom. I heard him open up a beer, and I walked into the cabin's kitchen. My eyes immediately widened, and I blushed hard. He was standing there in just swim trunks. He was shirtless! I got a hold of myself as he finished taking a swig of his beer, and he smiled at me again.
"Yeah, it's hot." Derek said. I held in my embarrassment of him seeing my flushed reaction to him, and I nodded.
"Yeah it is." I grabbed one of the beers, and I used the bottle opener to pop the top off of it. I took a small sip, and Derek looked at me.
"I'm gonna hit the lake. You wanna come?" Derek asked. I nodded immediately, and I raced off to get changed. After a minute or so, I came out of my room wearing my swim trunks, and I started putting sunblock on. Derek was also covered in sunblock.
We walked down to our part of the lake together, and we set down the four beers left over from our first six-pack down near a pair of beach chairs. The chairs were nothing special, but they were a place to sit. Derek took a swig of his beer, and he set the bottle down.
"Hey, Mark, can you do my back?" Derek asked. I glanced at him, and I slowly nodded. I squirted some of the sunblock onto my hands, and I started lathering up his back. It was a very nice feeling. I didn't want to stop, and I took my time in rubbing in the sunblock. He waited patiently, and he threw rocks into the lake as I finally finished applying the sunblock.
"Can you do mine?" I asked, hiding how nervous the idea of it made me. He nodded, and I sat down where he'd sat. He began running his hands up and down my back after squirting some sunblock onto my back. The feeling of him touching me in sensitive spots along my body was hard to bear. It was difficult to hold in how I was actually feeling. When he touched my lower back, I exhaled deeply as a spasm of pleasure ran through my body. Luckily, he was done.
Both of us waited for a couple minutes, and then we both ran into the lake. Slightly offshore floated a square raft. It was beyond where we could walk in the water. Derek beat me there because he was a swimmer when we were at college. He wasn't part of the team, but he did it often for fun.
He climbed up onto the raft, and I followed him up. I laid on it for a moment, catching my breath, and he laid on his back, looking up at the sky. I stood up after a moment, and I looked around at the view of the lake in front of us. I could make out houses in the distance, but we were basically alone. Suddenly, I felt Derek go underneath my legs, and he hoisted me into the air, throwing me off the raft. I slammed into the water and thrashed my way back to the surface.
I saw him staring down at me with glee, and I grumbled insults under my breath as I pulled myself back onto the raft. I managed to stand up again, and I tried to push him off, pushing against his chest. He easily withstood me, and he pushed me again. That process repeated for about five minutes until I surrendered and returned to our beach chairs. The rest of the day passed quite nicely.
As evening approached, we were able to see a beautiful sunset over the lake. We watched it from up in our cabin, and we continued drinking, eating some of the food that we packed. While we were eating, I noticed that Derek was looking at me often during the meal, and I grew a little self-conscious. I wondered if he knew that I liked him.
We finished dinner, and we started watching a movie on the cabin's couch. We sat next to each other, and I laid my head on his shoulder. This wasn't very out of place for our relationship, as we weren't afraid of showing intimacy as friends. However, he pulled a blanket over himself. I thought that was odd as it was still warm in the cabin. I glanced up at him, and I saw he was somewhat flushed. I glanced back at the movie, and I blushed as well as the two stars of the comedy movie we picked were kissing.
