Home for Christmas

  Joe stroked faster, the urge building in him. His spine tingled and he broke out in a fine sheen of sweat as they chased their mutual orgasm. His balls tightened.

  “I’m going to—”

  “Me, too.”

  Joe felt the hot wetness of Kris’s release pour down his hand, and it pushed him over the edge. Closing his eyes, he followed Kris into the deep abyss where darkness exploded into light. Colors whirled behind his eyelids and his breathing grew ragged as he came apart and slowly pieced himself back together.

  His heart roared in his ears as his eyelids flew open. Kris looked straight at him, his cheeks pink, lips parted. Joe glanced down and saw their release had mingled, covering their hands, the most erotic sight ever.

  Joe tried to calm his breathing and kissed Kris softly as their cocks slipped from his hand. “Hang on, baby. I’ll be right back.”

  Joe rolled out of bed and snuck across the hall. He wet a towel in the bathroom, then returned to the room. He wiped his hands, then sat down on the bed and cleaned Kris’s before brushing the towel across their torsos. Once done, he slipped under the covers again.

  Kris rolled into his arms and they kissed softly. Sweetly. Held each other close. Their movements displayed no urgency, only acceptance and patience, as if they both knew they had the rest of their lives to be together and experiment.

  “Merry Christmas, baby,” Joe whispered.

  “Merry Christmas.” Kris’s eyes twinkled in the glow from the ceiling. “I really loved my present. Think I can open it again?”

  Joe grinned and rolled him onto his back, then crawled on top of him. “You can have that present any time you want.”

  Kris chuckled and hugged Joe’s waist. “I plan on doing that quite often. Well, that and more. Much, much more.”

  Joe’s heart tumbled in his chest as he fell harder for the man in his arms. What had started out as an awful winter break had become the best Christmas of his life. He wasn’t sure how things would proceed, but he knew in his soul he and Kris would be together.

  Joe pulled Kris closer and tucked his head under his chin. For the first time in a long time, he looked forward to the future. His future with Kris. Their future.
