With winter holidays approaching, it's supposed to be a time for romance and togetherness for Colton and Ben. Except climate change has erased the chance for a white Christmas, their rent is going up, and neither of them have energy after working all day and barely getting to see each other. As their frustrations mount and finances dwindle, it almost seems more likely they'll be single for the new year rather than doing anything special for each other.<br><br>Colton isn't willing to give up without a fight, though. He might not be able to give Ben his dream of visiting the moon, but he can bring a bit of the moon to Earth. Rekindling some of his own hope and romance, he decides to put his skills as a chef to good use and go all out in preparing Ben a meal --  and a night -- not to be forgotten. The world might be a grim place, but if he shoots for the moon, maybe he can hit a bit of holiday magic.

Shooting for the Moon

Skin pressed against skin, kissing wasn’t enough. Their cocks leaked eagerly against each other. Colton impatiently reached for the lube, slicked Ben up, and straddled him again. They’d long ago stopped springing for condoms with money being tight, but the lube was a must. Colton angled Ben’s cock right and took him inside, both of them breathing out in satisfaction. Ben grabbed Colton’s ass, directing him as he thrust. Colton moved where Ben directed, first closing his eyes and enjoying the sensations, then observing Ben’s face for the moment he never liked to miss.


Ben’s expression changed as he came and Colton focused on it as he grabbed himself, clenched around Ben’s cock, and released over Ben’s abdomen. It had been too long. Colton slid forward and lay against Ben, wanting to lean against Ben’s chest and listen to his heart rate slow, but Ben rolled away to clean up.
