Chapter 16

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap,” said Liam. “I’m ashamed to say you very nearly persuaded me to cancel my weekend with Lucas.”

“Only nearly?” said Ezra with a wink.

For a few seconds, Liam looked at Ezra, slightly puzzled. Was he joking?Or did he really mean to tempt me away from my weekend with Lucas? It was difficult to tell.

Since he couldn’t be sure, he continued. “I’ll come down after work every afternoon as usual, so we’ll at least get to spend some time with each other till the following weekend.”

“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” said Ezra. “And please know, I do understand. I was being stupid.”

They hugged once more, then kissed, salty kisses full of passion and love.

“I should be going,” said Liam. “It’s getting late.”

Their lips came together once again, their erections pressing against one another below the water’s surface. Despite the slight chill in the air, Liam felt warm, enfolded in Ezra’s arms.

“I hate leaving,” he said. “Being away from you.”
