“You are better looking than I remember,” Elliot said.
Heat filled his face. “I never want to forget this feeling.”
“What feeling?”
“My heart is full. I feel warm, and safe, and good. I was afraid I’d made it all up in my head.”
“I was scared you’d see me and turn around to leave.”
Jens reached up and cupped Elliot’s face. “Never.”
Elliot closed the distance and brushed his lips over Jens. The kiss was everything he wanted and more. His whole body tingled, and a shiver snaked through him. Elliot pulled back and cocked his brow.
“You okay?”
Jens nodded and couldn’t hold back the huge smile on his face. “Take me home.”
Elliot glanced around before pulling Jens into a tight hug, their bodies pressed together. “‘Home,’ I like the sound of that.”
“So do I.”
Over the next few weeks, all of his fears melted away. A fierce winter storm might have brought them together, but turbulence was the last thing on his mind. He’d spent hours questioning the good feeling Elliot gave him and doubting the hope he’d felt, but it was real. Elliot was real, not some super-guy he’d dreamed up but a kindhearted man who was just what he’d been looking for.
After he’d been in Atlanta for three weeks, another storm swept across the country, this one not as bad but still dangerous with ice coating some roadways. He and Elliot stayed in, watching movies until the power went out.
“Damn it, no more movies,” Elliot said.
“Yeah, but we can make our own.” Jens kissed Elliot’s chin, smoothing his hands over Elliot’s chest.
“I like the sound of that.”
Jens slipped his hand into Elliot’s pants and grasped onto his dick, stroking him. “What about that, do you like the feel of that?”
“God, yes.” Elliot sunk down on the couch and spread his legs, giving Jens better access.
“I’ve always liked your cock. It’s beautiful.”
“I like what you do with it,” Elliot moaned.
Jens kissed his way down Elliot’s chest to his navel. “I have an idea. You get naked, and I’ll suck you and lick you until you scream my name.”
“Ahh, I like that.”
Jens sat up and pulled Elliot up with him, going serious as he stared into Elliot’s eyes. “Six months ago, I never would have thought that a man would get me to leave San Francisco and move east.”
“Are you happy here?”
“So freaking happy. Not because of the city or the community, but because I have you. I’ll go anywhere just to be with you.”
“Jens, you’re too good to me.”
“Babe,” Jens paused. Neither one of them had said the L word, but he knew they both felt it. The word was scary and filled with meaning, but he needed Elliot to know exactly how he felt. He glanced up and ran his thumb over Elliot’s cheek. “I love you. You’re everything to me.”
Elliot clutched his arms and sat up straighter. “Do you really mean it?”
“Yeah, I really do.”
“I’ve wanted to tell you for so long. Jens, I love you so much. I need you in my life. I’ll do anything for you.”
They fell back on the couch, Jens on top as they kissed and kissed, their bodies moving together, swaying to their own rhythm as they tugged clothes from each other. Once naked, Elliot flipped Jens to his back and sat up, straddling him.
“Thank you for moving in with me. I have no idea how I survived without you before.”
Jens placed his hand on Elliot’s dick, stroking him as he ground his hips up, letting his dick ride between the round mounds of Elliot’s ass. “I want you.”
Elliot hopped off Jens and held out his hand. “Let’s continue in the bedroom.”
Jens jumped up, his heart hammering. He’d never been so happy as he pressed Elliot to the mattress. He tossed the lube to Elliot as he rolled a condom on. His brain started to fuzz as Elliot spread lube on Jens’ cock, his slick fingers brushing over the tip.
Elliot lifted his legs and Jens pressed in, his dick lining up with Elliot’s opening. Jens stared down at his lover, amazed that they’d only met by chance but that chance had changed everything.
Jens pressed in, loving the familiar heat of Elliot’s body. They rocked together, slowly building to a faster speed as Jens showed Elliot how much he cared. Elliot lifted his hips a bit, changing the angle. The pressure built in Jens’ balls, and he wasn’t going to last. He reached down and stroked Elliot the way he liked, twisting just a little at the top. They were both breathing hard, a fine sheen of sweat covered their bodies.
“Gonna—too much,” Elliot ground out just before he shot his load.
The constriction of Elliot’s ass around his dick was too much and he came. His arms gave out, and he dropped, his lips seeking out Elliot’s. When the kiss ended, he slid out of Elliot and rolled to the side before tossing the condom in the trash beside the bed.
Elliot pulled him close and kissed him, his fingers massaging Jens’ shoulders and back. They parted as the lights came back on, bathing the room in the bright light from the ceiling fan. Jens laughed as Elliot blinked.
“Electrifying,” Elliot said.
“Truly. I love you.”
“I think we were made for each other.”
“Why do you say that?” Jens asked.
“Because loving you is easy. I love you so much. I’ve watched my other friends find love, I’ve dated a couple of guys I really liked, but you’re different. You’re the one.”
Jens snuggled close to Elliot and kissed his shoulder. “I agree, you’re the one for me.”
Jens got up and turned off the light and quickly returned to the bed to snuggle with his lover as the storm raged on. Outside was chilly, almost like it had been in Boston, but inside they had love keeping them warm.
