he opened the car door and stepped out. I m going to hold you to
that.
The day was cold and raw with the threat of snow, exactly the
way the Weather Channel had warned. After Noel left, Cain went
into the house and put a match to the living room fire. He then
went upstairs and exchanged what he was wearing for a pair of
comfortable old blue jeans and his favorite sweater. By the time he
got back, the logs were ablaze and the room already felt warmer.
Instead of turning on a lamp, he lit several candles and slid an
easy listening disc into the CD player. The first track featured a
raspy male voice singing about the wonder of love and the
unimaginable pain when it all went wrong, and although Cain had
owned the disc for a while, this was the first time he d really
listened to the words.
Until now, Cain had never been in love, not really In Love. Oh,
for sure he d thought he was a time or two, but the madness had
soon faded, leaving him wondering what had attracted him in the
68

first place. This time, though, he was pretty sure what he felt for
Noel was the real thing, but how did one tell for absolute sure?
Was it the feeling his life suddenly had purpose? The flash of panic
when Noel backed out of the driveway and disappeared down the
street?
He sat on the hearth rug and gazed into the flames, wondering
if Noel would make it back within the promised hour. What if it
was longer? And what if something happened to prevent him from
returning? What if he had an accident? What if Would Noel
call? Or would he simply leave him to wonder?
He checked his watch. In less than five minutes the promised
hour would be up. He wanted to call and ask how much longer&
and he would, except he didn t have Noel s number. Come to that,
he didn t know where he lived either.
He got to his feet and pressed a hand against his aching cock.
Should he deal with it himself, or should he wait for Noel? He
paced back and forth in front of the fire. He knew he was being
ridiculous, but he wanted to feel Noel s arms around him again. He
wanted to feel him kissing him. And hell, yes, he wanted to feel
Noel s velvety tongue wrapped around his prick.
Telling himself to cool it, Cain headed for the kitchen. So Noel
was running a little late, so what? In the meantime, maybe a stiff
drink would help calm him down.
He took the bottle of single malt from the cupboard, but before
he had time to remove the cap, the front buzzer sounded in one
loud, non-stop blast.
His heart skipped a beat. He put down the bottle and rechecked
his watch. Still one minute to go.
He hurried into the hall, ripped the door open, and Noel, who
stood there with his finger on the buzzer, almost fell into his arms.

Cain pulled him inside and slammed the door shut. What
happened? I thought you d changed your mind. That maybe you d
had an accident or something.
No, none of the above. Noel dropped his sports bag on the
floor, removed his coat, and then he checked his watch. I said I d
be back in an hour, and I am. He slipped the watch off his wrist
and gave it a shake. Unless maybe my battery died.
No, your battery s fine; it s me that s not. Cain gave an
embarrassed laugh as he took Noel s coat and hung it in the hall
closet. Actually, he felt like an idiot, a very insecure idiot. It s just
that& I don t know.
The first time we met, I disappeared on you, and you figured it
would happen again?
No! Of course not. Cain sighed. He was busted. Yes, you re
right. Something like that, I guess. I m sorry.
Hey, I understand. Noel put his arms around Cain, holding
him close.
Noel felt good and smelled even better than Cain remembered.
His scent was a combination of something spicy and the cold
outside air that made the ache in his dick intensify a thousand fold.
I felt bad having to duck out on you the way I did.
Unfortunately, it was one of those unexpected things completely
out of my control. I don t do criminal law, but the son of one of my
more important clients needed to be bailed out of jail, and at that
hour& He shrugged. What can I say? He s just a kid. When he
called, he sounded terrified. He s not a bad kid, just a neglected
one, and I didn t have the heart to leave him in there all night.
Anyway, that was then, this is now, and I m back as promised.
I was about to make myself a drink. You want one? Cain
asked.

Please. Noel s hands slid down Cain s back and squeezed his
butt cheeks. Maybe some of that single malt we had last night?
Cain smiled. That s what I intend to have. You go on into the
living room and make yourself comfortable, and I ll be with you in
a minute.
When Cain returned, he found Noel, eyes closed, stretched out
on his back in front of the fire. Putting the tray with their drinks on
the coffee table, Cain lay down beside him. The raspy voiced
singer on the CD had been replaced with a sultry blues number that
worked perfectly with the candlelight, the open fire and the
moment. Cain couldn t remember ever feeling quite this content.
He ran a finger lightly along Noel s lips. But then Noel grabbed
his wrist and captured his finger with this mouth, gently sucking
and licking until Cain couldn t stand the heightened feeling of
suspense.
Contentment quickly changed to excitement, and he snatched
his hand away. Needing to feel closer, he sat up, took off his own
sweater, then he pulled Noel s shirt up his body and off over his
head. He lay down again with his face against the warmth of
Noel s bare chest, breathing in the masculine scent of his body,
extremely conscious of Noel s arousal straining against his pants.
After undoing the snap of Noel s jeans, Cain lowered the zipper.
Hot and hard, Noel s cock came free, the head already damp with a
dribble of pre-cum.
Suck it, don t play with it, Noel pleaded with a groan. And
suck it hard.
Patience, patience, Cain murmured as he took out one of the
foil packages he d tucked in the back pocket of his jeans. After
tearing open the package with his teeth, he fitted the condom over
Noel s erection, grasped it firmly in one hand, and swirled his
71

tongue around the tip.
Take off your pants and raise your knees, Cain instructed.
What s wrong with how I am?
Do it. You ll see.
Cain quickly removed his shoes, socks and jeans, and used a
second condom to cover his own erection. Then, moving around so
they were facing in opposite directions, he placed one knee on
either side of Noel s body, and stretched forward, making sure he
could reach Noel s cock and that his own cock remained within
easy reach of Noel s mouth.
This is cozy. Noel laughed, sending hot moist air to tease the
area around Cain s crotch.
