Rafael Patino has a great life in Rain Valley. He’s a teacher at the high school, has a great group of friends, and enjoys the occasional baseball game. Other than the sporadic call from his drunken mother, he’s pretty content. He’s also been in love with his best friend Dustin for nearly a decade. Years of keeping those feelings under control are put to the test when they begin a summer project together. Dustin Vance builds furniture for a living, has just earned his pilot’s license, and has an amazing best friend. When he buys a 1976 Cessna Skyhawk, he asks Rafael to help restore it, then travel with him to Wisconsin for the largest aviation convention in the world. As they spend their days working on the plane, they begin to spend their nights together. Will they find love in the clouds, or will they stall out before they even take off?

Love in the Clouds

When his phone went off again, he shook Dustin, since the guy was halfway on top of him.


“Okay, okay. I’ll get it,” Dustin mumbled, pulling himself up to a sitting position and just stayed there.


Rafael laughed. “I know you’re hard to wake up, but are you always this dazed after sex? Well, great sex. Phenomenal sex, really.”


Dustin’s lips curved up in a slow smile. “Definitely phenomenal.” He leaned down to kiss Rafael’s cheek. “I’ll grab your phone.”


It had stopped buzzing, but Rafael had a feeling it would start again. “It’s in one of the front pockets of my jeans.”


Dustin stood and stretched his arms, twisting a little, before locating the phone. Rafael couldn’t help whistling—how was he supposed to notwhistle at that gorgeous ass?


Dustin whirled around. “I take it you like what you see?”


Dustin lay back down on the sofa, handing the phone to him.


Rafael tensed as soon as he saw who was calling. Now, he rose to a sitting position, pulling Dustin with him.
