Snowed In: Zack and Richard

Richard smiles. “I would be happy to help. “


“I was hoping we could talk dogs another time, though, and maybe for now you would kiss me again,” Zack says, feeling bold again.


“I would never turn down that offer. You kiss with such passion. I could kiss you for hours,” Richard says, cupping Zack’s jaw and moving in closer again.


“I wouldn’t object,” Zack says, shaking slightly from a combination of nerves and passion. He feels like a tightly coiled spring with Richard so close, touching him gently. It’s like a tease of what he needs.


Richard closes the gap and kisses him full on the lips. The kiss is sizzling. The chemistry between them is undeniable. Zack wraps his arms around Richard and tries to get as close as two clothed bodies will allow.


“Can I?” Richard asks, breaking the kiss, his fingers curling around the zipper on the sweater Zack is wearing.
