Treading Water - 6. Chapter 6 Diving In

Testing the water.

Treading Water

 

 

Chapter 6

 

 

Craig focused on the barely visible ceiling, thinking back over an emotionally satisfying evening. Jared had held true to his word. Although they’d snuggled against one another on the couch, and watched a VHS tape of “Rambo,” compliments of an inherited collection of Jared’s, they hadn’t gone any farther than a few short kisses. He smiled in the darkness as he remembered the call to his mother, apprising her of his plans to stay the night, and to pass along Jared’s thanks for the delicious home-cooked meal. She’d found the idea of them watching archaic VHS amusing, not to mention their choice of movie, but there was sincere happiness for him in her voice.

The restraint he and Jared had shown was a real achievement because both were obviously sexually tuned to one another for each and every second that had passed. Neither one felt the need to forge ahead… they just wanted to protect this burgeoning thing between them. He, like his mother, also found it funny that they were probably the only gay men in the world that had been watching “Rambo” on VHS. For that matter, likely the only people, period, thanks to Jared’s grandfather, who’d apparently scoffed at the idea of switching to new-fangled DVD’s. Craig had forgotten how tricky the ‘tracking’ could be on those old machines, and laughed every time Jared jumped up to adjust it. It provided more entertainment than the movie.

The rest of the house tour had been illuminating, not just for the investigation of the solid old place he was viewing for the first time, but also how walking through it with Jared had made him feel. It felt like home. Every inch of it. And now, here he was, lying alone, mere yards away from the spectacular man who’d reawakened some strong, deep emotions. It was as if his heart had been transported back to the time before Harlan, and it unsettled him, although not in a bad way.

They’d showered separately, and after an almost chaste kiss, had retired to separate bedrooms. Craig disappeared rather quickly upon seeing Jared in revealing white boxer briefs. Thankfully, his own were dark. Fuck, the man was built, his smooth, muscled chest contrasting with powerful, dark-haired legs. He might be a fair bit leaner than he was a year ago, but his body was a masterpiece in Craig’s eyes. When Jared had showed him his workout setup in the open basement, the huge regulation punching bag did a lot to explain the man’s incredibly ripped state. Craig knew from his gymnastic training days just how effective a workout that particular piece of equipment provided for the upper body.

He’d been laying here for a good hour now, and there was no sign sleep was coming. He had a taste of what it was like to share his life with someone again, and as much as he’d counselled patience, his whole body ached at the isolation he was feeling. Fuck, one day, and he craved the presence of his one-time best friend in an entirely different way... the way he had as a teenager. One thing was certain. As turned on as he was, this wasn’t mere lust. What he was feeling was so much more.

A sound in the hallway caught his attention. It was the soft pad of feet heading toward the bathroom. Jared. He heard the muted flush of the toilet followed by the sound of running water, and then the sound of careful walking again. This time, they continued past Jared’s room to his door, and Craig froze, expecting, hoping even, that the door would open. But it didn’t. The sound of footsteps turning around and moving away filled him with disappointment.

This was stupid. It was clear neither one could sleep. Throwing back the thin blanket, Craig set his own feet on the floor. Rallying tenuous courage, he left the bedroom and walked down the hallway to the bathroom, taking note Jared’s door was cracked open as he went past it. Nerves threatened to engulf him while he took a lengthy piss and washed up. Leaving the bathroom, he wasn’t sure what course to take until he reached the first door. Like Jared, he stopped, but unlike the other man, he pushed the door open.

“Are you awake?”

“Yeah… I can’t sleep.”

“Me, neither. I miss you.” Craig winced as he said it, peering into the dark room.

“I thought it was just me. Do you want to sleep in here? I promise I’ll be good. I’ll stay on my side of the bed.”

“That doesn’t sound very appealing,” Craig said honestly. “I think I need you to hold me. Otherwise, I’ll never get to sleep.” He heard Jared separate from his bed and walk to the window. Opening the curtain flooded the room with moonlight, and the difference was startling. He could see much better now, and the object of all his thoughts was standing beside the bed looking at him, his silhouette highlighted by a broad silver beam.

“Hell, I’d be glad to do that,” Jared uttered softly. “I’ve been going crazy here, knowing you were so close, yet so damn far. I almost knocked on your door, but I didn’t want to be pushy. Come on... get in.”

As Jared slid in one side, Craig did the same on the other, and they met in the middle. Turning his back to the dark-haired man, Craig sighed in contentment as strong arms wrapped around him, pulling him close. He rested his head on the one under his neck. Jared’s forehead was pressed against the back of his head, and he felt a nose against his scalp breathing in deeply.

“You smell so good.”

“It’s your shampoo.”

“No, it’s more than that. It’s you. I remember it from those long days in the hospital.”

His murmuring against Craig’s neck was driving him to distraction, but he loved the tingles it sent through his body. “I remembered your scent too, when we hugged at the pond. I didn’t notice it in the garage,” he said with a quiet chuckle. “That was one hell of a first kiss. I didn’t know what planet I was on for a minute there.”

“Same here. We were brought back to earth pretty quick, though. Carly came close to decapitating you with that tray.”

Craig didn’t know why it struck him as funny now, because it sure wasn’t at the time, but he started giggling at the remembrance of Carly’s explosion. It didn’t take long for Jared to join him. “My hero, again,” Craig said through the laughter. “I can see the news report… angry twin almost beheads brother with a steel tray… ex-husband saves the day… news at eleven.”

“You’re a crazy man,” Jared teased, “but I would come to your rescue every day, for the rest of your life.”

Craig’s laughter died, and he twisted in Jared’s embrace until he faced him. “You mean that, don’t you?”

“Yes, I do. I love you, Craig… through everything, I’ve never stopped.” He paused long enough to turn on the bedside lamp behind him. It cast a dim, unobtrusive glow, but it allowed them to look in each others' eyes. “You don’t have to say it back. I hope someday you will, but for now I’m happy as hell spending time with you… being with you like this. Like I told you in the back field… you are the most beautiful person I have ever met. You’re good and kind and hot as fuck. Here and now is perfect. This morning I thought this could never happen, and….”

Craig cut off Jared’s words with his mouth. A surge of something passed through him and he didn’t try to curtail it, and didn’t want to name it just yet. All he knew was he needed this guy now, and that was enough. The kiss was sloppy and messy, and a little frantic, but Jared met it with the same urgent passion. Craig was half-laying on Jared as they traded attacks on receptive mouths. Grinding his erection against Jared’s hip, he trapped an impressive cock between his leg and Jared’s lower abs, eliciting a groan into his mouth when his leg rubbed it through the thin material. Caught off guard, he was pulled fully over onto a supine Jared. Shit, the guy was strong. He was a fair-sized man himself, although not as big as Jared, who’d re-positioned him with relative ease. Their mouths stayed locked, and Craig felt strong but gentle hands caress his back all the way down to his briefs-covered ass. The sensuous movements set him on fire, and his whole being heated up with a desperate craving for more. Pulling his mouth away from the matching furnace, he gulped for air as those possessive hands concentrated on kneading his ass.

“We have too many clothes on.”

“Fucking right, we do.” Jared tried pulling Craig’s underwear down, but it was too awkward.

Craig rolled off him, and stood up, shucking his Calvin Klein’s in one motion.

Jared froze in the act of getting up, his eyes focusing on Craig’s cock. “Fuck, it’s beautiful,” he said as he began to move… reaching for Craig.

“Hey, your turn,” Craig whispered. He was anxious to see all of this beautiful man.

Jared grinned, and literally leapt off his side of the bed. He duplicated Craig’s motion and then kicked his underwear across the room, standing for inspection. “Is this okay,” he asked a little nervously. “It’s not as pretty as yours.”

It took Craig a moment to find his voice. He knew the man was hung, but Jared’s cut cock stunned him. It wasn’t just big… it was majestic. Its thick shaft was ramrod straight, and the glistening head made Craig’s mouth water with its beautifully pronounced ridge. Unlike the slight upward curve of his own uncut cock, Jared’s jutted directly out from his magnificent body. Craig was fascinated watching it rise upward every few seconds, before the substantial weight brought it back down. The man was a fucking god.

His gaze rose to Jared’s face to show his overwhelming approval, only to find that his attention was glued to Craig’s own endowment. Craig was aware he was well-equipped, though not a match to Jared’s dimensions, but it finally registered Jared had said his cock was pretty, and he flushed at the compliment. Jared’s eyes darted up to his in question, and Craig clued in. “Is it okay? Are you kidding me? Jesus, Jared.”

He walked around the bed, maintaining eye contact until he reached his goal. Sinking to his knees on the wool rug, his tongue reached out and licked the already leaking head before him. He looked up when he heard the sound of a hiss, and stared into a face filled with love. There was no doubting how Jared felt, or how powerful it was for Craig to witness in eyes that resembled glittering sapphires in the soft light.

His hand gripped the beautifully veined shaft, and he reassured Jared with his devoted look and his soft-spoken words. “That was a dumb question… your second one today. It… you… are fucking perfect. How can you not know that?”

Jared was fixated on the hand holding his dick, but he squeaked out an answer. “I haven’t had any experience with a man, Craig.”

Craig tried to control the surprise on his face. “None?’

Jared shook his head.

“How is that…?” Craig shook his head and grinned. “We’ll change that,” he said as he enveloped the robust head of Jared’s manhood with his mouth, sucking and slurping to his heart’s content. He became engrossed in pleasuring this living god before him, aware of the tumult of sounds he was causing. He’d been good at this with Harlan, but he hadn’t been presented with such a challenge before. The taste and feel of him, in his mouth and hands, felt unbelievably right, like this man belonged to him on every level, and the only thing he cared about was making him come. He needed that conclusion more than he wanted anything right now, and he relished the feel of Jared’s cock pushing at the back of his throat, over and over. It was soon apparent he was succeeding in his mission… release was fast approaching, as the hands lightly gripping his hair tried to pull his head away.

He allowed it, and his overtaxed jaw certainly appreciated the respite, but only to lavish attention on the balls that swung heavily below. They’d risen, but were still able to move freely. He held Jared’s erection against his stomach while he pulled the first ball into his mouth, swirling his tongue around the orb, loving the weightiness of it. This produced a whole new sensation for both of them, and Craig took satisfaction at Jared’s reaction of spreading trembling legs wider in a gesture of ecstatic submission. With gentle suction, he pulled away from the first ball, and Jared groaned loudly enough that Craig checked to make sure he hadn’t caused discomfort. All he saw was pure bliss on the face peering down, and with a grin, he went after the other one, repeating the process. It became very clear he’d found one of Jared’s pleasure spots because he moaned his approval once more.

The cock trapped against Jared’s stomach was a pulsating steel bar, and Craig decided it was time for his reward. With some reluctance, he released the second ball with the same gentle pull, and got a repeat of the earlier vocal reaction. That sound sent shivers through Craig, and he went back to his goal in a very determined way, letting Jared’s cock loose and sucking it in deeply on the first go. This time he increased the strength of the suction, and began a rhythm that built with each slide in and out. Jared tried to pull away, and he warned Craig he was almost there, but gave up willingly when he realized it was what the kneeling man wanted.

That settled, Jared assisted by pumping his dick in and out, fucking the suction of Craig’s hot mouth until he shouted out a cry to go with the unloading of his cum into the dedicated man attached to him. Craig swallowed the splashes greedily, savoring both the taste and texture, somewhat astonished at the sheer volume he was being fed. Damn, the man must not have come in weeks, Craig concluded while he worked on cleaning everything from the column and head. Jared’s whimpers let him know to leave well enough alone for now. The sensitivity switch had flicked on.

Jared slumped to the bed with a shit-eating grin, matched by the happy man still kneeling at the perfect height to be kissed. Jared leaned forward and delivered one that touched Craig’s very soul. That kiss was the final push to face something he already accepted. He was in love with this beautiful man, and it wasn’t any remembered echo of the past. It was a full-fledged, here-and-now love.

“That was… you were… fuck, I love you, Craig.” Jared searched the face of the man in front of him, the grin gone. “Am I the only one who felt that?” It was as if he was talking to himself when he uttered the last part in a voice rife with emotion.

“Jared, no… I felt it too.” That searching look again. “I asked you to trust me today and you did, and now I’m going to trust you. I don’t feel afraid to say it anymore. I love you too. I always have. I moved on with Harlan, and I loved him deeply. He was a wonderful man. But, I can admit now, to myself and to you, that I never stopped loving you. I could put it aside because I thought it was an impossible love, but now it’s all back. Every bit of what I used to feel.” He grasped the man’s face in his hands, and peered into hesitant but hopeful eyes. “Trust me again… this is no crush, no reaction to being lonely, no caught up in the moment… this is real, what I’m feeling. Do you believe me?”

Jared shuddered out a breath, tears spilling, and nodded. “I do. I know you, and I know you wouldn’t say you loved me if you didn’t feel it,” he choked out as Craig’s thumbs brushed at those tears. “Thank you for telling me. I’ll never forget those words… I waited such a long time, and I never thought I would ever hear them.” He rested his forehead against Craig’s and let out a contented sigh.

Craig knew he would never forget this moment either. “So, do you want to get back to the ‘holding me’ part? I think I might have tired you out,” he teased softly.

Jared pulled his head away from the man who’d just confessed love for him, giving him an incredulous look. “Are you out of your cotton-picking mind? I’m a gay man who has never had sex with any guy before tonight, and here I have the man I’ve loved for years in my bedroom, naked with a hard-on, and you want to cuddle? I can see I’m not the only one who asks dumb questions.”

The message was clear and it made Craig laugh. “I see your point.”

“Do you? If you did,” he remarked with a grin, “we’d have changed places by now and I’d be sucking on you.”

“Point definitely taken. I’m all yours… heart, soul, and penis,” he declared with an amused tone.

One more heart-pounding kiss, and Craig took his position, perched on the edge of the bed with his feet on the floor, leaning back supported by his arms, while an eager Jared knelt in front of him. Craig watched the look of awe and fascination fill Jared’s face as he took Craig’s still erect cock in his hand. Pulling it gently forward off his belly, he slid the skin up and down over the head, splitting his focus between it, and Craig’s face. Craig could see his need for approval, and told him how good if felt… and it did. That rough hand was exploring his cock and balls like they were precious treasures. His tentativeness only added to Craig’s enjoyment. It was plain to see this was a powerful moment for the inexperienced man.

“Suck it, Jared… suck my cock,” Craig whispered in encouragement. “I want to feel your sweet lips on every part of me… I need you, baby.”

Jared groaned softly, the words having an effect as he leaned over Craig’s lap between widened legs and engulfed his cock in one motion. Gagging instantly, he pulled back, an embarrassed look on his handsome face. “Sorry,” he muttered as his reflex settled down.

“Take it slow, baby. It happened to me the first time too. Just start with the head… it all feels so good… and keep using your hand like you are… I love the feel of your hands.” Craig leaned back farther, exposing more of himself, and Jared gave him an appreciative look.

“The view is amazing. You’re so fucking beautiful.” Once again, his mouth moved to claim the rigid dick in his stroking hand, but this time he concentrated on the tip, pulling the foreskin down and lapping and swirling his tongue around the glistening pinkness of the sizable head. Craig smiled at the enraptured look on Jared’s face as he encased the whole thing and started applying a modicum of suction. Craig understood that look very well. He sighed with pleasure, and Jared’s eyes glowed. After a couple of exquisite minutes for both of them, Jared’s confidence had grown enough he began advancing down the length. Craig wasn’t as long as Jared, but the thickness was similar, and Jared had relaxed enough that he could handle the bulky intrusion. A few successful bumps against his throat, and pride bloomed across his face. He pulled off his new toy and gloated. “Piece of cake.”

Craig missed the heat immediately, but laughed at the cockiness of the blue-eyed man. “Good, but you’re not done yet,” he reminded him with an encouraging grin. Jared smirked, but said nothing as he switched his attention to Craig’s balls, copying what had been done to him. Craig shivered at the sensations and let his body fall back to the bed. Fuck, it felt good. Like Jared, his balls were an erogenous zone for him, and he made Jared aware of it with the cooing sounds spilling from his mouth.

You could have knocked him over with a feather if he wasn’t already lying down, when his lover lifted his balls and literally dove for his perineum and beyond. His tongue felt like a snake as it burrowed into the base of his ass cheeks, searching for his bud. With no need for thought, his legs lifted from the floor and pulled up towards his chest. The sudden access was taken advantage of immediately by Jared, and his slick tongue felt like it was everywhere at once. Long swipes of the talented instrument caressed his entire crease up to his balls, flicking and teasing every time it passed over his opening. Constant jolts of pleasure went straight to his dick while Jared worked pure magic. The focused oral attention short-circuited his brain when the onslaught began to concentrate on its central target.

Moans became gasps as Craig’s cock felt the pressing need to unload. Even though he was a mass of goo, he managed to tell Jared how close he was and, not to be deprived, the eager man halfway stood and reclaimed Craig’s soaking-wet cock, putting what he’d so recently learned to work. He sucked with total commitment as his fingers continued to skim over Craig’s stimulated bud, stopping and pushing gently as he felt the first pulse of Craig’s cock. He wasn’t as adept as Craig, and much of what exploded into his mouth found a way out, sliding down the jerking shaft and drawn-up balls. Jared got control of some minimal choking, and went after every last bit of cum as if it was all that existed in the moment. Craig lay on the bed, waiting for his heart-rate to return to some semblance of normal, while Jared continued to worship him with a lapping tongue that had taken him to the moon.

A happy but uncertain grin appeared above him as Jared let his braced body rest lightly on Craig. “Was that okay?”

“Jesus, man. You’re chock full of surprises.”

“What does that mean?” he asked, looking so smug that Craig laughed and hugged him at the same time.

“It means, my handsome stud, I can’t believe this was your first time with a man. Seriously, Jare, that… you were incredible. I would have come without you even touching my cock. Where the fuck did you learn what you did to my ass?”

Jared smiled broadly, and if possible, looked even more proud of himself. “Gay porn,” he said with just a little embarrassment.

“Well, hell… let’s hear it for gay porn,” Craig crowed, just before he kissed the pleased and happy man whose body weight made him feel safe and loved. They spent a couple of minutes touching and sighing and smiling and giggling… sharing a very special newly-wrought connection. Craig had gained all the confidence he needed that this was real, and the right thing for him. “We need to shower and sleep, don’t you think, stud?”

Jared chuckled at the ‘stud’ before insisting that Craig didn’t need to shower because he ‘got it all’ and that he was clean as a whistle.

Craig rolled his eyes at Jared. “Come on. We’re showering.”

“Together?”

“Damn right,” Craig asserted with a grin.

“Cool. I’ve never showered with a hot guy before.” Jared leapt up and headed for the door.

Craig said, “Hey,” as he stood up. “You’re only ever showering with one, right?”

“Only you, baby… it’s always been only you.”

 

Ten minutes later, they crawled back into bed and resumed their original positions. But things were a lot different now. Every word, every touch, and every gesture signified they were a couple. Jared succumbed quickly, and Craig followed close behind. Sighing blissfully, he let well-earned sleep take him, his last thought being, ‘Dear God… what a fucking day, and what a fucking man.’

Play cards or something.... yeah, right!! You know, I had my suspicions these two wouldn't be able to be apart for that long. And, apparently, I was right. Go figure! It felt so good to hear Graig saying he never stop loving Jared, even when he thought they would never be together. And Jared's moments of uncertainty, well, they're absolutely cute.

 

Another amazing chapter that brings them closer, if that's possible with these two as they are. Wow, Gary, I can only imagine how their other first time is going to feel like. That intimate moment when time seems to stop and everything cease to exist, leaving only two bodies craving for each other, two hearts beating at the same rhythm and two souls promising eternal devotion.

 

Two thumbs up, my friend. Take care.

Yeah, so Diving In was a great title for this chapter, since that's what they did. Not only with the sex (which was :P:blushing::glomp::wub::P:worship: ) but also with declaring their love and commitment and need for each other. Absolutely perfect :heart:

But the chapter note had me :huh: and may perhaps have contributed to the :blushing::o of your readers at the extent of the plunge Craig and Jared took. :lol: Testing the water is probably a tiny bit understated - although if this is the test, then I can't wait to see the real thing. :P:lmao:

Maybe something in the lines of testing, tasting and drinking would have prepared us, or how about hints of fountains or geysers? :rofl: Nah, just kidding, I loved that your guys took everyone by surprise. :hug:

There was no stopping these two. To their credit, they tried, but having the person you've loved for so long under the same roof was too hard to ignore. So they 'dove in' and as you said, declared their love and commitment to each other. Thanks for thinking it was perfect. LOL to testing the waters... the whole evening had been a test, and it wasn't until the exam was completed that Craig could say the words that were in his heart. I'd say Jared passed with flying colors :) . They put their toes in the water, and the temperature was just right so what else do you do but go right in lol. This was a rewarding chapter to write because I was giving them something that had been stolen from them, so I'm really happy you liked it, Tim... thanks for another awesome review, my friend... cheers... Gary...

He he. Thanks, Nick, for appreciating Craig and what he did and said, and I agree that Jared's uncertainty is adorable. Craig is always so quick to reassure him. Wow, your second paragraph is beautiful... so very well understood and expressed. Wonderful. This review rocks, buddy... thank you so much... cheers... Gary...

There is something to be said for taking things slow and being cautious, and in some cases that something is that it isn't necessary. I got excited before I even clicked the link. Just seeing the title "Diving In" made me want to dive in myself. I'm happy they were thinking about trying to build the relationship and that Jared didn't want to be pushy, but let's face facts - after Jared helped Craig through his grief even though it meant putting his own emotional needs through a shredder they both had to know they wouldn't last long. Hell if I were Craig I probably would have offered to get on my knees at the pond when the poor tortured guy admitted his feelings and opened himself up. As always though with your stories, it was more than hot sex (although hot it was Gary - two thumbs up)it was a connection of lovers with deep and real love for each other. The fact that this had been brewing since high school and through multiple self-sacrificing acts on Jared's part that put him in direct contact with Craig even when there was no hope of having him for himself just made it sweeter that Jared didn't have to wait any longer to feel the love and the deep bond that sex with the one you love any longer. He deserved that connection many times over for always caring about others first. Carly, the baby, his grandfather, Craig....it was always someone elses needs before his. I think Craig sees this and recognizes the type of soul that means Jared has and I have every faith in him that he will not allow anything other than Jared's and his own needs to come first. Well maybe Bailey but that really shouldn't be an issue as we know his mother will be on the side of her boys. Because I don't believe for a minute that the woman you have portrayed so far wouldn't ultimately be the one to keep Carly in her place if need be. Being a mother I can tell you right now that in this situation I wouldn't hesitate to tel that girl in a heartbeat that if she was even thinking much less threatening to do anything to hurt either Jared or Craig or try and deny them Bailey I would go straight to the girls biological father or grandparents and make her life a living hell. If she threatened to take the baby away from Jared I would tell her I would make sure the girl had her real father then. Make no mistake, Mothers are as ruthless as any soul sucking self centered person out there.
As always good job and thanks for the bonus hot as hell points!

Thank you again, Pzetts! Wow. I agree with the whole review. I saw no reason to wait either. It didn't make sense after what they've gone through and what they both admitted. This was the next logical step not just because they both needed it, but because they deserved it too. When Craig heard Jared in the hallway, he understood exactly what he was going through, and knew they both would lay awake all night. I applaud him for going with his instincts, and going to Jared. And you are so right about mothers. Marian will do her part to keep Carly in line, for sure. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such an amazing review... cheers, my friend... Gary...

As usual a well crafted chapter. But you know me, I had to stop reading. You write characters that become friends of sorts and then you write beautiful scenes that are deeply personal and private to them.
Kudos.

Every time I read "testing" I wanted to change it to "tasting", lol! What a satisfying start to their time together, and rather inevitable that it was going to happen sooner rather than later. The surprise was Jared's first time. Again it just points to what a beautiful person he is and that he is made for Craig, kept for Craig, and given to Craig. So romantic! Thanks, Gary! I doubt if Craig has had any experience beyond one man too, though this wasn't brought out. There is somehow such a purity in this relationship, that contrasts so strongly with the ugliness and dirtiness that Carly has brought to them both by her extreme and perverse manipulations. And the purity was made more so by the fact neither of them was in any way reminded of her in the least as they explored and enjoyed each other. Great chapter again. Just right! Oh, better explain that as it means something different in America. It means absolutely, in every way, perfectly right in my culture. Lol!

There is no way these guys could wait. I had every intention of them doing so, but sometimes these guys do as they please lol. And yeah, Craig had only been with Harlan before Jared. And yeah, Carly was the farthest thing from their minds... there was nothing ugly about their evening, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. "Just right" works for me, my friend... thanks for another encouraging review... cheers... Gary...and yes, I see the same purity you did :) .

Such a hot love scene--and hooray for gay porn. It was bad movies and magazines around 1978 that taught me most of what I knew, until I had my first real experience three years later. Some of those old beta and vhs tapes were really hot--better than the cheap Euro dvd crap put out today.
Eager for the next chapter, but I'm gonna eat and do meds first...sorry G-Man. :)

Whew, wow, I don't know how I managed to skip over this chapter but I'm very glad you pointed that out to me, Gary. I would have hated to miss it! You've got me all kinds of riled up here now. Jared and Craig are so hot together, and the deep emotions they share for one another clearly add to the passion of their lovemaking, which is deliciously intense. Thank you for all of the arousing details, and for, literally, holding nothing back. I need to go cool off now...

He he. I had a feeling you missed this chapter, and it was an important one. There's no way these boys would have allowed me to hold anything back... I'm pleased you approve. I'm also glad you saw the deep emotions in this... thanks, and cheers, Mac... Gary....

Your characters are realistic and well rounded. Your dialogue is also realistic. You can write a description that puts the reader in the scene. And your romance and sex descriptions ain't too shabby either. Oh, and have I mentioned how much I love these guys and their story? Thanks Gary.

Aww... thank you, Albert! It was wonderful to write too. These guys really got to me. They've had so much tragedy in their young lives, and they deserved this. Yeah, it's peeking, but they don't mind... they are too busy being focused on each other. I'm stoked you liked the passion... you are so kind, my friend... cheers... Gary....

I could not agree more. You could say it's been my mantra and my guiding principle. :hug:

I love reading comments, so "playing cards tonight" was just a tease.  The mood changed so fast I got whiplash.  With your ability to emotionally involve your readers, and vivid descriptions that make them feel they are in the scene with the characters, it is no wonder that Bucket1 was stuck at the office.  I need a cold beer in a frozen mug with the aircon on max to cool off.  its hot james mcavoy GIF

Lol. I don't really enjoy writing sex scenes, so I don't. But, I don't mind writing lovemaking scenes between two men who love one another. If it's important to the story, I don't shy away from it. I don't often reread them though, mostly because I am my own worst critic...

Glad you enjoyed this chapter, buddy... there is such beauty in the act of love... and I do my best to do it justice. Cheers! :hug:
