By the time they were finished, neither man had any real doubts that they belonged together, both physically and emotionally.


“It won’t be easy,” Ken pointed out as they lay wrapped in each other’s arms a while later.


“I know,” Sean agreed. “Chances are we’ll be apart as much as we’re together.”
