Chapter 5

“I wave dive. All day, I just wave dive. I just let the water take me, and I go with the flow.”

“May I lead you now?” Khnurn asked.

“Are you going to drink my blood?” Ian asked.

“What if I just wanted to make love to you, here in the sand, in front of the pyramids?”

Ian turned to him, glad that Khnurn’s face was as close as it was, and he reached over and kissed Khnurn. The kiss was gentle and sweet, and Ian followed it by wrapping his arms around Khnurn. Ian grabbed Khnurn’s shoulder blades and pulled him even closer.

Ian pulled away for a second, and whispered, “You can take this for a yes.”

No sooner were the words out of his mouth than he returned to kissing Khnurn.
