  “We’ll do it all together.” Herman grinned. “Everything.”

  “I don’t ever want this feeling to go away. You’re the perfect partner.” He stared at Herman. Handsome, muscular, hard-bodied. And a fireman? This was what dreams were made of. “I can’t wait to see you in your work clothes. Or somewhat in them. Hat on. Shirt off. Holding an ax. Pants partly unbuttoned, so I can dream about what’s in them. I’m imagining it now.”

  “I was in a fireman calendar once. Almost that exact pose.”

  Steve sat up. “What? I have to see it! You better have a copy!”

  “I do, I do. You’ll see it when we get home.” Herman laughed.

  They smiled at each other and kissed.

  “So are you giving Nahla some kind of job?”

  “After I check all her references.” Steve lifted his eyebrows. “I’m going to check one of them right now.” As he slipped his hand inside Herman’s trunks, his breath caught in his throat. His mouth went dry as he looked at Herman. The joy he felt every time he touched this man made him shiver.

  Herman laughed as he leaned back on his elbows. “I’m glad I give good reference.”

  Steve played with Herman’s dick, touching the head and rubbing the pre-come around the tip. It was all he could do not to dip his head down to Herman’s trunks and take that hardening rod into his mouth right here on the beach. Wouldn’t that be a sight for all the tourists?

  Herman closed his eyes and sighed. “I can’t believe after everything that happened that we remembered to do your black-moon nightmare chant once we finally made it home.”

  “Happy to say it worked, although I’m not sure if it worked because Merlotti confessed to killing our fathers or because of the chant.”

  “Maybe both.” Herman shrugged. “You had the power of the black moon two different ways that night.”

  “I want you two different ways right now.” Steve smirked as he removed his hand from Herman’s trunks. “Pack your beach bag, lover. We’re going to the room.”

  “Oh. Is there a monster hard-on coming my way?”

  “You’d better believe it.”

  Once they made it to the elevator they kissed liked teenagers, excited to be together and barely coming up for air. Herman threw his arms around Steve’s neck and pulled him close. Steve grabbed Herman’s biceps and squeezed. Herman cupped Steve’s face between his hands and swept his thumbs over Steve’s cheekbones. Their kisses were deep and passionate.

  “You’re such a good kisser,” murmured Herman.

  Steve broke free once the elevator door opened and ran to their hotel room ahead of Herman. When Herman finally made it to the room, Steve was already naked and lying on his side on top of the bed. He had a red rose dangling from his mouth.

  “Where’s my phone?” asked Herman. “That looks like a perfect picture for my computer screensaver.”

  Steve grinned.

  Herman laughed out loud as he plopped on the bed and Steve removed his swimming trunks.

  Steve kissed Herman’s mouth, his chest, his stomach. “I lost you before but I don’t want us to ever have regrets over the past.”

  “Everything happens for a reason. It was my failure. We lost each other through my actions.”

  Steve put a finger to Herman’s lip. “Don’t say that. We need to let the past go.”

  “I believe in you. We can do that.”

  “Then we’ll move on. Let me taste that gorgeous cock of yours.” Steve licked his lips and did the same to Herman’s shaft. He pulled his thighs apart and sucked his balls, one lovingly after the other. After he applied lube to a finger, he skimmed the rim of Herman’s ass and slid it in past the tight ring of muscles. “Does my baby like?”

  “Oh!” Herman cried out as he moved his hips. “Yeah. You better believe it.”

  Steve pulled Herman’s dick in and out of his mouth. Herman lifted his hips and fed the whole thing to Steve. Steve licked and sucked and smiled at him whenever he could. It was obvious that Herman enjoyed receiving as much as Steve enjoyed giving.

  Herman’s grin beamed like lights on an airfield. Those lights were telling Steve that the plane ride wasn’t over, it was just beginning.

  He loved Herman so much. They would never lose each other again. It wasn’t long before Herman moaned and pumped his passion into Steve’s waiting mouth. They lay intertwined together minutes later, eyes closed, the sheet barely covering their legs.

  “Ready?”

  “Huh?” Herman opened his eyes.

  “I’m not finished with you. I didn’t come yet.” After applying the condom and lube, Steve pushed Herman flat on his back and crawled on top of him. His hands moved over Herman’s thighs, lifting them up and pushing them against his chest. After stretching him with his fingers, Steve slid his rod slowly into Herman’s ass.

  Herman let out a deep breath.

  “I want you to look into my eyes as we fuck. I want to know you’re mine and that we’ll always be together.” Steve stared into Herman’s eyes. It reminded him of the first time he’d seen Herman’s picture at his father’s house, but was unable to see his eyes because sunglasses covered them.

  He’d always thought that you could see a person’s intentions in their eyes. Herman’s beautiful chestnut-colored eyes had the look of love as they stared back at Steve. The perfect intention.

  “I’m yours, all right.” Herman moaned. “Nobody else’s.”

  “You’re the love of my life.”

  Herman smiled. “Are you happy now?”

  “Happier than I’ve ever been.”

  “I want to be with you forever, Steve. I want to spend every night lying in bed with you and sucking on that big gorgeous cock of yours.”

  “Same here.” Steve grinned. “I know now that it’s always been yours. Fate had to bring us together again.”

  Herman had brought him back to life. He’d never felt this type of happiness before. He had never thought he would hear the word “forever” in a sentence that concerned him with somebody else.

  Herman’s eyes went wide as the pace increased and they reached their boiling point. They both came seconds later. As they slowly recovered from their lovemaking, Herman stroked Steve’s chest. Steve wrapped Herman in his arms and held him close.

  Nothing had ever felt more physically or emotionally perfect. This was what love did to you. It made you never want to let go. They had been through so much together already. But now they had the future. Their future. And it would be filled with love and joy and excitement and passion.

  Everything seemed bright and sunny with Herman in his life. Herman was the light that Steve had been searching for.
