  “Fine,” Tad coughed. “Where’s the boat?”

  What boat? Derek wanted to ask, but this wasn’t the time—the wind had picked up a few knots and Tad’s shivering was getting worse. With Derek’s help, Tad shrugged out of his jacket, then pulled off his shirt, tossing it aside. It landed near a pile of clothing—what Derek had worn earlier, Kellen’s clothes mixed in with his. Derek snagged the closest piece of fabric, which turned out to be the flannel shirt of Tad’s he’d put on for some protection against the sea air. “Here,” he said, draping it over Tad’s shoulders. “Put this on. Let me get that.”

  Tad had been unbuckling his belt—Derek took over, unbuttoning his jeans and pulling the zipper down out of the way. But as his hands moved over the damp briefs beneath the jeans, he found a slight stiffness he knew he could tease fully erect. Though he knew he shouldn’t, not right this moment, not now, his body still hummed with unspent desire and the mere fact Tad was here, beside him, after all this time, made the ache at his groin impossible to ignore.

  At his gentle touch, Tad moaned into the flannel shirt he’d pulled close around his chest. The sound only encouraged Derek—without a word, he eased Tad back to the sand. His lover raised his hips off the ground, letting Derek pull down his jeans, his briefs following suit.

  The cool air caressed wet skin, piquing Tad’s interest. Derek encircled his lover’s thick cock with one hand, cupped his shriveled balls with the other, and massaged both until the blood flowed through them again. Bending over Tad’s genitals, Derek rubbed his lover’s cockhead across his cheeks, his lips, his chin—he kissed it, blew on it gently, warmed it with his mouth and breath. Then he moved lower, rubbing its length against his face, nuzzling into the drying hair curled at the base of the shaft, blew on Tad’s balls as he worked them in his hand. It’d been too damn long, and he hadn’t dared to hope he’d find himself in this position again, loving this man. Thank you for this, he prayed as he worshipped Tad’s growing erection. And this—he took the swollen tip into his mouth, tiny beads of pre-come sizzling over his taste buds, riling his senses. And this, as he kissed the tender skin between Tad’s cock and his balls, then lifted the soft sac out of the way to kiss the trembling flesh below them, as well.

  A strong hand entwined in his hair, massaged his scalp, then tugged at his ear. “Derek,” Tad sighed.

  His name in that voice—how many nights had Derek dreamed of the sound? Stretching over Tad once more, Derek covered his lover’s body with his own and kissed his name away from those pinked lips. Tad’s hands gripped Derek’s thighs, settling him onto his hips, spreading him wide. With another kiss, Derek let his lover guide him down, until the bulbous head of his dick pressed between Derek’s buttocks. For the second time that evening, his muscles tightened in anticipation, trying to draw his lover into him.

  This time he succeeded. Tad pushed into him with a tight fullness that made Derek come immediately, his dick spasming between them. A triumphant cry tore from his throat to pierce the night, then he pressed Tad to the sand, covering him with his body and hungry, ardent kisses to keep him warm and shelter him from the wind. Together they found a fast, furious rhythm that worked them both to orgasm time and again.

  Around them the waves bowed down, washing their legs and feet, reveling in their union.
