The Twisted Oak

Wade stopped at their door, swiping the key card like a man on a mission. Desire flashed across his face as he looked into Lance’s eyes and carried him into the room. Lance felt pure joy bubble up inside. This, thiswas what he’d wanted.


Neither made a move to flip on the light, as moonlight shone through the gap in the drapes. Lance kissed him with everything he had as Wade settled him on the bed, making him feel so cherished.


Wade began placing small, hot kisses across his face until he softly bit Lance’s earlobe, eliciting a low moan from him.


“God, Wade…feels so good,” he murmured as Wade nuzzled his neck.


“Want to make you fly.” Wade’s hot breath sent shivers down Lance’s neck. “Want to bury myself inside you, be with you, make you writhe under me…”


“Holy…Wade…I-I need you so bad…” Like I need air to breathe.


“I’ve dreamed of this for years, Lance.”
