On the Ragged Edge of the World

“Anything you ever want,” he vowed, his voice a hushed whisper. “I swear to you. You have my heart, my loyalty, everything.”


“Aden…” Darren’s breath caught as Aden filled him completely. He paused there, waiting for Darren to adjust to him, waiting for his head to stop spinning, waiting for his own breath to return. He felt every beat of Darren’s heart, and it pulsed through him, making his nerves spark and pop. “Thank you. I just…I don’t…thank you.”


He wasn’t looking for gratitude, but he knew that wasn’t how Darren meant it. As he eased out of the clenching passage, he lowered his head and kissed Darren, as slowly and carefully as their bodies joined together.

The same tremor that threatened his own muscles long before his crown reached the tight ring again.
