Awakening

“Would you receive it if I were to say ‘I love you’?” Nathaniel asked, almost in a frightened whisper.


With a wave of emotion he had never before experienced, Jonathan breathed, “Yes!”


“Then know this, Jonathan Carver, I love you.”


With that declaration, Nathaniel began a slow, steady thrusting. Jonathan encircled his neck with his legs, crossing his ankles. Nathaniel bent forward until his chest rested on Jonathan’s; their lips met. Jonathan embraced his waist and pulled Nathaniel as deeply into him and against his lips as he could. With every thrust, the lightning-like jolts that coursed through his penis increased. Accompanied by audible utterances and words of love, the two men sought higher and higher planes of physical and emotional intimacy. Without warning, Jonathan felt his testicles contract and his semen burst forth to wet their abdomens as they strained for union. In response, Nathaniel tensed and Jonathan felt once more the throbbing of his organ within him.
