Ri wishes he can give the most important people of his life a proper celebration. After all, they are both about to mark a very important milestone of their lives – Ty is turning thirty and Bran one. It’s definitely a big deal. He smirks, thinking to himself about all the old man jokes he could crack, teasing Ty about transitioning into his thirties.

Rian can’t help but think about Cyril – what would he have been like at thirty? Where would his life have taken him?

“I love you, brother. Now and forever,” Ri murmurs to himself, wishing the sentiment would be the prayer of gratitude that reached his brother.

He walks into the kitchen to find his lover wiping the counters clean, singing to himself quietly along with Bryan Adams, whose song, “Here I am” is playing on the classic rock station the tiny radio built into the wall seems to be constantly stuck on.

They had given up trying to adjust it to anything else after weeks of teasing each other with the cheesy lyrics of hits from the ’80s and ’90s. The style had grown on them, forcing them to memorize the very repetitive playlist the radio host seemed to favor.

Rian leans on the doorframe, taking him all in. Ty is beautiful – his powerful body moves with fluid energy no matter what task he is completing. His gorgeous smile illuminates his face, his eyes strike deep into his heart, ever warm and kind. There is so much reverence and tenderness for Ri and Bran in his gaze. The sense of complete and utter devotion Rian feels for this man only grows stronger with each day that they’ve spent together.

Even now, wearing only a loose singlet and a pair of crazy bright neon blue speedos, Tayida looks both amazing and quite frankly, capable to do some serious damage. His long legs are perfectly sculpted, his thick thighs exhibiting every single muscle group known to mankind. His ass is a freaking bubble butt dream – perfectly round and thick, rock-freaking-hard, dollar-coin-bouncing perfection. The speedo isn’t doing much concealing, but Rian suspects, that may have been the idea all along.

Tayida has been wearing so much color lately. Long gone are his previously favored shades of black, dark navy, camo green, and brown.

Safe colors,Rian thinks. Nothing that would stand out too much. Nothing that would give away his secret.

Ty’s been wearing a lot more revealing outfits too. Things that fully showcase his gorgeous body. Shorter shorts, lower cut workout tank tops. Freaking jockstraps or full-on commando. It’s all for Rian’s benefit, he knows it. Ri’s damn appreciative, that’s for sure.

Ty is fuckingfine.Rian can ogle him all damn day.

They are together, committed to each other more than ever, yet Tayida is still his wet fantasy.

Ty turns around suddenly, a cleaning rag in his hand, singing the chorus of the song, “Here I am, this is me...” his eyes are closed, and he is hilariously whisper-belting out the lyrics clearly mindful of the sleeping baby in the next room.

Ri chuckles, the sound pulling his lover out of his performance. Ty throws the wet rag at him and uses the distraction to close the distance between them and pick Ri up and kiss him silly.

Rian holds his face between his palms grinning in their kiss and instinctively wraps his legs around his waist, Ty’s hands holding his ass firmly in place.

If Ri thinks the performance is over, he is dead wrong, as Ty pulls away from their kiss just in time to finish the solo together with Bryan Adams. The words of the singer, promising at long last a new beginning, become his own. The look in his eyes conveys exactly how he feels – this isitfor Ty. Rian is hisforever, and he can’t wait to build a life with him.

Jesus, this guy.My guy. My baby. My love. My beloved.

Rian grins as Ty is dancing them slowly around the small kitchen, still holding Rian up as if he is as light as a feather.Ri’s long legs are wrapped tight around Ty’s hips, and he pulls himself up to kiss his lover soundly as the last notes of the song float away. His bare feet brush against Ty’s warm tanned skin.

Rian has a fist full of Tayida’s tank top in his hand, pulling Ty closer, possibly hoping to crawl under his skin one of these days. No matter how tightly plastered they are to each other, it is never close enough. He always craves more contact. He needs to feel his lover completely – every shiver, every flush of heat, every time his skin is covered in goosebumps after Rian’s caress.

A new song picks up, but neither of them pays attention to it. Their kiss has grown hungry and Rian has decided clothes are in the way and will not be tolerated. He is undressing himself and Ty clumsily, while his lover has paused in the middle of the room, still holding him tight, and kissing him with an equal level of urgency.

Ri rolls his hips, grinding on Ty. Tayida’s hard-on brushes Rian’s ass through the thin fabric of his shorts. Ri can almost visualize Ty’s leaking cockhead poking through the waistband of his neon swimsuit, and he growls at the delicious image his imagination has brought forward. They both groan and Ty takes a step forward, depositing Ri on the kitchen counter. His hand snakes between them and he reaches for Rian, palming his erection.

Ri’s head rolls back with a low thunk, hitting the kitchen cupboard.

Fuck this feels so good. His whole body is flushed with excitement, and he grinds on Ty’s palm, seeking more friction. His lover nuzzles his neck, nipping at his earlobe, coming ever so closer. The tip of his tongue teases Rian’s jawline and he soon joins them in another searing kiss.

Ty is panting in his mouth, desperate with desire for Ri. In a rushed moment, he hooks his arms under Ri’s knees and drags him lower and forward on the counter. He heaves himself up and blankets Rian with his body, pinning his arms above his head. His touch is passionate, not nearly rough, yet Rian’s body locks down immediately. He freezes. His heart is thrashing in his chest.

He knows he’s safe. He knows Ty would never, ever hurt him, but his body and his mind are at odds. After years of abuse at the hands of Harris Kelly, Rian can’t let go. He needs to be in complete control, even if Ty is the love of his life. He’s trembling and Ty pulls off him immediately after he notices the sudden change in his demeanor.

His lover understands his mistake instantly, and gently cups his face with one hand, while helping him get off the counter with the other. His eyes are watery and filled with pain.

“I'm so sorry, darling. I didn’t mean to be this rough. I love you so, so much, Ri. I would never hurt you.” Ty’s lower lip is trembling. He’s so upset with himself, it breaks Rian’s heart.

Ri swallows thickly as he brings their foreheads together. He holds Tayida close, trying to banish the horrible memories bubbling in the back of his mind. His words evade him for long minutes, and even though he knows he must reassure Ty that he hasn’t done anything wrong, he can’t utter a single sound.

Tayida is dragging the tips of his trembling fingers over his bare arms, soothing him. “I’m so sorry baby, I’m so fucking sorry.”

Ri takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He needs to focus on this moment.On Ty. He must remind himself, he must believe, that he is safe with this man, with his beloved.Ty would never try to break his spirit. He would never hurt him. He would never abuse his trust.
