ran over my back, to the tip of my spine and down, softly, over the swell of my ass. I felt a little lightheaded when he broke the kiss.
    “Thank you,” he whispered and touched my jaw. “I wish…” He sighed and looked away. “Just…thank you.”
    I finished the tarts and put them aside to heat up tomorrow, then had a quick think what I could serve Gabriel as his first meal in a hundred years. I expected him to sit at the table and wait, but instead he was always near me, always touching me, making me feed him bites of left-over chicken pot pie, licking avocado off my fingers, and kissing chocolate chip cookie crumbs off my mouth.
    By the time we’d cleaned up after ourselves, I couldn’t take it anymore and tugged him toward the lounge. The fire had nearly gone out but it took him no time at all to make it flare to life. He laid me down on the rug in front of it.
    “This is so cheesy,” I said, laughing giddily as he kissed the line of my throat.
    He pushed himself up and gave me a confused look. “Do you want to go to bed instead?” he asked, earnest.
    “No,” I said, tugging him down again. “Not in a million years.”
    I closed my eyes as he kissed me into oblivion. Maybe this special slice of heaven could only be mine for a day or two, but by God I was going to enjoy it. And I vowed right then and there, I’d never regret it. No matter how much it would hurt once he was gone.
     

     
    “What would we do if we had all the time in the world?” I asked him. His chest was still sweaty, and it kind of blew my mind that he was sweating at all, but I didn’t allow myself to read too much into it. Gabriel had his hands hooked behind his head and looked like the cat who got the cream.
    “What?” He shifted a little so he could see me and his expression made me laugh.
    “Liked that, did you?” I bit my lip and rubbed my thumb over his nipple. “Well I liked it too.”
    He kissed my temple. “Good.”
    “So what would you do, if you could do anything you wanted?”
    “Travel,” he immediately said, eyes on my finger as I traced it through the come on his belly. My jaw still ached a little, because he’d lasted a lot longer than I thought he would’ve. I wished he hadn’t pulled me off him before he came in my mouth. “I joined the Navy to see the world and I think I could’ve seen a lot more of it.”
    “Where do you want to go?” I’d never left Michigan, and didn’t imagine I ever would. I wanted to live this dream with him, if only briefly.
    “Europe, Asia, Africa. Everywhere, anywhere. Would you join me?”
    “By airplane?”
    He looked at me like I was crazy. “By boat, of course.”
    “Hmm.” I circled his nipple. “That’s a lot of time on our hands.” I pursed my lips. “Whatever would we do?”
    “I would fuck you all night under the stars,” Gabriel said, his blue eyes gleaming. I gasped in shock even as my cock valiantly reared its head, despite being sucked dry only a minute ago.
    “Language, my dear friend,” I said, pressing a palm to his chest. Gabriel took hold of my hand, kissed each fingertip and then looked at me in such a way that I already knew I’d say yes to whatever he’d ask me.
    “Would you do that?” he whispered. “Bend for me under the open sky?”
    “B—uh.” I made a weird wheezing noise. “I would. Gladly, stars or no stars. No need to ask. Well. Maybe ask, especially if there’s other people around.” I snapped my mouth shut as he grinned at me.
    “I would too. If you’d like that.”
    My mouth dropped open again and I nodded. “I’d like,” I croaked.
    Gabriel kissed me for a long time, turning me into a puddle of goo. I felt the atmosphere around us shift, as if he was drifting away in thought.
    I soothed his chest with the palm of my hand. We were cooling down fast despite the heat of the fire, but I didn’t want to move and I mumbled as much.
    I let a little more time pass, then gently asked him, “What happened before you
