Oh, oh!
Is it about to happen? Will Blue Stone permit Raven to “change his life
forever?” The plainsman’s batting average is pretty good so far. So let’s take
a look at the final installment.
*****
BLUE STONE AND RAVEN
The plains youth drew closer.
Raven moved his lips over every part of Blue Stone’s face as if he were seeing
with his mouth. Chills ran up and down Blue Stone’s backbone.

When Raven leaned back on
the blanket and nodded, Blue Stone went as slowly as his excitement would
permit. He sampled every part of that hard, muscled body he could. He explored
the deep belly button and twisted his tongue in the soft, black hair at the
root of Raven’s staff. The Cotanee’s hands moved him to his core, and Blue
Stone performed his act of adoration once again, gently bringing his lover to a
climax. The thought struck him as strange. His lover. Why did he not feel shame?
Why did the act give him joy? He only knew the truth of it, not the why of it.
Afterward, they bathed
again before sitting in the shade and discussing Raven’s travels. Beyond this
place, he found more rocky mountains with less food and forage. Great serpents
lay coiled atop stones and strange lizards with bright, beaded skin waddled
slowly out of the way of Whisper’s hooves. When Raven looked down upon a broad,
endless plain with no visible life, he turned back.
During the hottest part
of the day, Blue Stone slept in Raven’s arms, his slumber deep and peaceful. He
woke when Raven stirred. They donned their moccasins and raced naked across the
floor of the canyon. Blue Stone was fleeter, but Raven had greater stamina.
As evening came, Raven laid
Blue Stone on his back and explored his body with gentle hands before covering
him. The Pueblo youth’s lingering doubts fled into the night as Raven made love,
capturing not just his body and his heart, but his very soul.
At length, the handsome warrior
muttered something in his own tongue and spasmed in one final, mighty thrust.
Then Raven relaxed, cloaking Blue Stone’s body with his own, his flesh warm,
comforting. Blue Stone knew what his lover would say even before the words
flowed from his mouth.
“Blue Stone, you came to
me believing I was a supernatural and mave wonderful offerings to me. When I
convinced you I was but a mortal, you willingly serviced me again. Despite my
protestations that nothing would be the same, you gave me your fundament to
seed with my sperm. You are mine now. Even though I return to my people far to
the east, you are mine. Even though you cannot come with me, you are mine… as
surely as I am yours. Because we have lain together, we both now understand
better who we are. I am one who can take pleasure in a man’s body; you take pleasure
in giving your body to a man.”
The handsome warrior
paused briefly. “How beautiful you are, Blue Stone. Tonight I will mate with
you once more, but tomorrow I must leave. Whisper is anxious to return home. When
I am gone, you must go to this Ram Horn and gift him with your special beauty. Allow
him to be a man for you, a lover for you.”
“But he may not wish it,”
Blue Stone protested. “He may cast me aside, denounce me even.”
The Cotanee studied him
intently. “Perhaps. But if he is worth the risk, then take it. Otherwise, you
may miss a chance to love.”
“It won’t matter,” Blue
Stone murmured, drawing Raven to him. “I will always have the memory of our
love to sustain me,” he added, glorying in the touch of the magnificent,
bronzed, young warrior.
In truth, Blue Stone was
half-convinced the god-like youth had watched as a feathered raven from atop a
stunted piñon while he and Ram Horn labored in the fields two days past.

Promises
made and promises kept. But alas, the plainsman is returning to the plains, and
the farmer will… do what? Approach Ram Horn? If so, how will the young Pueblo
receive him? Perhaps that’s worth a story in the future. Let me know if you
think so.

Travis’ next BJ Vinson mystery series novel, The Voxlightner Scandal has
been scheduled for release on November 19, 2019. You’ll remember he’s my fellow
Okie author. The following is a buy link to Voxlightner: http://www.dsppublications.com/books/upcoming-releases-c
Now my
continuing plug (read plea) for my own work. Amazon permits you to read a short
passage of my novels, Cut Hand and Johnny Two-Guns. I also believe the STARbooks-published
River Otter, Echoes of the Flute, and
Medicine Hair are still up. I sure
would like to get the final book in the Cut Hand Series, Wastelakapi… Beloved, published, but it’ll take some help from readers
to get Dreamspinner interested.

on reading. Keep on writing. You have something to say, so say it!
Until next time.
