myself to even hope we
could actually find our way back together.”

“I had given up hope of this ever happening, but now
that it has, I know I never want to be without you again.”
Caught up in the emotional current, Jaylin kissed him
again and Max eagerly responded, tangling his hands in
Jaylin’s hair as Jaylin slid a hand slowly down his chest. He arched into the feel, into the touch. He had missed this so much, missed Jaylin, missed being this close to him, and he knew he couldn’t get close enough. The desire was all-consuming and he wanted everything at once, but he also
wanted to take his time.
He wanted to savor this, cherish it. This moment had
been seven years in the making and it shouldn’t be rushed.
Desire becoming more and more intense, he carefully
shifted their position, pinning Jaylin beneath him, his
naturally dominant nature taking control.
“Now this is familiar.” Jaylin smiled, arching his hips,
pressing their cocks together. Max gasped, grinding against the man beneath him, gleefully adding to the friction. “Love the way you feel against me.” He arched again, moving his
eager hands down Max’s shoulders to his back, where they
paused briefly before moving again, and his eyes darkened.
The blue eyes closed and Max watched as Jaylin drew in
a breath, holding it a moment, before looking at him again.
“You have scars.”
“A few. Some worse than others.”
“Max….”

“The scars are reminders of the past. I can’t deny that.
But it’s up to us to not allow what we left in the past to
touch us now.”
Swallowing, he nodded, and Max kissed him again, a
quick kiss before moving his lips to the sensitive skin
beneath his ear, and Jaylin moaned and tilted his head,
allowing Max the access he sought, and Max smiled. He
remembered exactly what Jaylin liked, where he liked to be
touched and how, kisses, nips, bites, Jaylin’s body…. Every inch of it was still familiar to Max because he had seen it in countless dreams during the past seven years.
Sliding a hand between them, he shifted again, allowing
enough room for his hand to wrap around Jaylin’s cock.
Jaylin shuddered in anticipation, before groaning and
opening his eyes to look up at Max’s.
“I just realized something.”
“That you want me to fuck you senseless?”
“Oh, I already knew that, and believe me, I want that,
but it just occurred to me that I don’t actually have condoms or lube here.”
“Seriously?”
Jaylin shook his head. “I didn’t think I would need
them.”
“I actually didn’t think I would need them, but….”
“You have some?”

“Yeah. Only I didn’t bring them. I left them in my room
at the B and B.” Max grinned. “Just think: if you had agreed to meet me at my room….”
“Oh, shut up. And get up and get dressed.”
“Why? Someplace you want to go?”
“I want to go back to your room and spend the entire
night in bed.”
Still grinning, Max slipped from the bed and Jaylin
followed, both of them dressing quickly, forcing themselves not to touch. If they did, Max knew they would never make it from the room, and he wasn’t certain he would be able to
care if they didn’t. He was a breath away from finally being inside of Jaylin, finally getting lost in the man he loved, the man he had wanted to make love with since he was eighteen
years old.
“We’ll come back for your stuff tomorrow. For now….”
“I know. Let’s go.”
Grabbing his keys in one hand, Jaylin held out his other
hand to Max, who happily accepted it, needing what contact
he could get as they left the room and fell into Jaylin’s rental car.
Exchanging a look that said far more than mere words
could, Max knew everything really would be okay, once and
for all.
