Part 6— Laying Groundwork
Will woke, feeling sticky, then remembered that they hadn’t
cleaned up from sex before their nap. He
moved slightly and Don looked over his shoulder at him, a smile on his face.
“Hey,” Don said lazily.
“Hey,” Will responded warmly. “I’m thinking about a swim.”
“Sounds good.”
They peeled themselves apart and did some cursory cleanup of
their bodies and the room. Opening their
bags, they unpacked, settling into their new accommodations. They found their
swimsuits and pulled them on. Will wore
his pair of blue swim trunks that always reminded him of their first awkward
shower together. Don smiled at him,
obviously remembering the same thing, and ran his fingers down Will’s chest,
like he hadn’t been able to during that shower.
Grabbing a few towels, Don and Will padded out of their room
in bare feet. It took them some time to
find the larger of the two swimming pools, the one with lap lanes. They set their towels and room key on the
nearby deck chairs then went to the lanes.
They did a quick warm-up of their arms and legs. Then they grinned at each other, Will counted
down, five-four-three-two-one, and they dove into the lanes.
They came up side-by-side, swimming with the typical freestyle
stroke. Will held his own for a few
laps, mostly because of his longer legs, but Don eventually began to pull
away. Will backed off and swam at his
own pace until he began to feel waterlogged.
He climbed out of the pool then, lay on his stomach on a deck chair, and
just enjoyed watching Don swim. Don’s body cut through the water with each
stroke of his strong arms, his legs flutter-kicking behind. On every third stroke, Don turned his head to
take a breath, the water streaming down his face and scattering from his thick
hair.
Will smiled and rested his eyes on this vision of skill and athleticism. He’d have to ask where Don had learned to
swim because he’d obviously gotten serious training. After a few more laps, Don switched to a
breaststroke. Will let his eyes wander over
the garden and his attention was suddenly snagged by a white stucco house that
he could see through the bushes. The
house was on a slight hill and Will recognized it from photos as the Richland
house, their main target. Will cushioned
his chin and looked at the house, like any casual sun-worshipper would.
It was surrounded by a high fence and all approaches were
foliage-free, so no one could creep up to the house. He looked at it for a while, but didn’t learn
anything that wasn’t in the surveillance photos.
“Whatcha looking at?”
Don said at Will’s side.
Will turned to see Don drying off. “A house up there,” Will said, waving his
hand in the general direction of the house.
“Would be a nice place to live.”
Don’s eyes flashed in acknowledgement then he nonchalantly
glanced at the house. “Land’s gotta be
incredibly expensive, though,” he said.
Will stood up. “How
about dinner after all that exercise?”
“I’m starving,” Don smiled, probably thinking of their
pre-nap exercise, too.
They cleaned up for dinner and walked down to the
restaurant. The place was full of quiet
little nooks and romantic lighting. They
were sat at a table and presented with a calligraphied menu.
“The filet mignon with garlic butter sounds good,” Don mused.
“I agree.”
When the waiter arrived, Will said, “We’ll have two filets
with garlic butter and a bottle of Beaulieu Cabernet Private Reserve '96.”
The waiter looked over at Don who raised his eyebrows but
nodded. The waiter withdrew.
“Well, it was what you were going to get anyway,
right?” Will said defensively, not
really sure why he ordered for both of them.
He never did that.
“Probably,” Don said, “Though I hadn’t decided on a wine.”
“The Beaulieu Cabernet Private Reserve '96 is very good.”
“It should be, at that price …”
Will shrugged and picked up a roll from the breadbasket. “So, where did you learn how to swim?”
Don looked at him thoughtfully for a moment, then answered
his question. The awkward moment passed
and they enjoyed an excellent meal. The
wine was perfect, the surroundings intimate, and the service impeccable. I can definitely
can see myself staying here for a week …
When they were done
with dinner, waving off the tempting dessert tray, Will casually asked the
waiter, “Where can we go for a run after dark?
I always like to take a late run and sometimes he joins me.” Just because they weren’t yet investigating,
didn’t mean he couldn’t lay groundwork for when they were.
The waiter didn’t know, so he went and got the manager. It was now the night manager, a blond,
serious-looking woman named Lynn Cole.
“Let’s see,” Lynn said, frowning. She didn’t seem upset by the question, just
thinking hard. “You’ll probably want to
run along the lane, the narrow road drive from the road up to the front
building. It’s about a mile long. There isn’t any lighting along the drive, but
it’s wide and paved and I believe there’s a full moon the day after tomorrow,
so you should have enough light the next few days. Please wear reflective clothing and keep an
eye out for late arrivals, though.”
Will thanked her and nodded at Don. Night runs weren’t actually Will’s thing but
Don didn’t have to ask why he wanted to go on one.
After supper, they wandered over to the 24-hour
Clubhouse. It had a fitness room, a
meditation room, and several rooms that were obviously designed for group
discussion sessions. Don and Will were
more interested in the DVD library at the moment.
Regular television channels were forbidden, since that would
keep retreat visitors too much in touch with the outside world, but every room
had an elaborate A/V system with game systems and DVD players. So in the Clubhouse was a small but
wide-ranging DVD library. There was even
a shuttered cupboard of porn DVDs. Don
pulled out a random porn DVD and held it up.
It featured a blonde nympho with tits that looked like beach balls and a
blonde muscle man with a cock like a tree trunk. Don rolled his eyes.
“Can you say ‘plastic surgery?’” Will said with a
smirk. “Guys bulked up like that usually
have the equipment of a 10-year-old.”
With a grimace, Don put it back, then he grinned at
Will. “I’ve got my own porn show
whenever I want it anyway.”
“I did pack some fun toys,” Will said with a wink.
Don and Will perused the normal video selection – not too
surprisingly heavily weighted in romantic titles – and chose ‘The
Natural.’ They took it back to their
room but ended up playing several hours of cutthroat video game Hockey.
Around 10 o’clock, Will sighed and put down his video
controller. “Time for our run,” he said.
Don nodded and they both got dressed for running. As he opened up the door, Will smiled to
himself. There were a lot of things he’d done in undercover work that were much
less pleasant than a night run with Don.
They stepped out into the warm evening and Will left his worries on the
table for later.
