Chapter 4

Joe leaned across his back and his other hand pulled Ed tighter against his chest. Ed closed his eyes and relished the closeness. Caring was evident in the way Joe held him—with fingers swaying gently back and forth. Did Joe have any idea what that did to him? His previous lovers had never conveyed anything deeper than an appreciation for a good lay, and he’d never felt anything deeper toward them, either. Yeah, he and Joe were solid.

They rolled heavily to their sides, and Joe slipped out, pulling Ed tighter against him. It was a nice moment, but Ed knew it wouldn’t last long. It never did. The “rules” of their relationship didn’t allow for sentimentality, particularly afterglow schmaltziness. Sometimes Ed wanted just a little more, though.

He turned in Joe’s arms and started a heartfelt kiss. Joe responded enthusiastically, as always, as long as Ed initiated the moment. They lay together noisily kissing, tongues exploring until Ed pulled away with a deep, satisfied sigh.
