Calder bent to kiss me, not saying a word. I kissed him back, as he softly pushed me against the bed, not stopping until my back landed on the mattress. When I was in place, I watched as Calder walked over to my nightstand.

“Second drawer,” I said, almost at a whisper. “I should have whatever you’re looking for in there.”

“Indeed, you do.” Calder smiled as he pulled out a condom and a small bottle of lube. When he came back over to me, he grabbed hold of my waist, cautiously shifting me until I was on my chest. He then reached for my thighs, pulling me into place until I was on my hands and knees for him, my fingers pressed against the bed sheets.

And then, his mouth was on me. I gasped at the feel of his tongue against my sensitive hole, my hands twisting into the fabric underneath me. He drew small, lazy circles around me, pushing me into oblivion, my body way too overwhelmed by the sensation. I felt myself getting hard again, almost by force, my cock having no other choice but to respond to Calder’s touch.

“Calder…” I whimpered. But me calling out his name wasn’t met with words. Instead, Calder opened the lube, spilling some onto his fingers before he slid one of them inside me. He fingered me slowly at first, my hole adjusting to him. As soon as I was ready for another finger, he happily obliged, sliding another one deep inside me.

“Calder… I can’t…”

“Yes, you can, baby,” he replied. “You’re doing such a good job for me, Shane. You’re doing so good.”

I groaned, as he fingered my hole, my hips rocking back and forth to meet his hand. The tip of my cock was already leaking precome, my body shuddering all over again. It was embarrassing how easily Calder brought me over the edge, how easily my body wanted to give him everything.

“Calder! Calder…” I cried out his name as I came for him a second time tonight, my come shooting streaks across the bed. Before I was able to recover from the orgasm, I heard Calder opening a condom and sliding it down his shaft. It wasn’t long before he slid inside me, my breath catching in my chest as he did.

“Calder! Fuck!” I was gasping for air as Calder’s hips bucked against mine, the length of him slamming into me all at once. “Fuck!”

I eventually managed to take in a few breaths, as Calder expertly fucked me from behind. His hands were on either side of my waist, keeping me in place, making sure I took in every inch of him exactly how he wanted. In that moment, I couldn’t think of anything else but Calder, my brain going blank, forgetting the rest of the world.

Suddenly, he pulled his cock out of me.

“Wait. Don’t—” I whimpered, but Calder was already switching our positions again. This time, he wanted me on my back, as he situated himself between my thighs. He then slid hiscock inside me again, our eyes meeting each other’s as he did. He moved his hands to my thighs now, keeping a hold on me, keeping me in place.

“I love you,” Calder said, his voice clear. “I love you, Shane Stratton.”

“Calder…,” I groaned, barely able to think with his shaft buried so deep inside me. “I love you, too… but…”

“But?”

“Why would you say it right now?” I asked, curious. “You’re never supposed to say, ‘I love you’ for the first time during sex.”

“Shit. Really?” Calder’s eyes went wide.

And I broke into a laugh, unable to help myself in the moment. “Yes. Really.”

“Welp, cat’s out of the bag.” Calder laughed right along with me, his hips still moving at a steady pace. “Sorry not sorry.”

Our laughter swirled against each other’s, melting, melding. Calder began to move even faster against me, his thrusts becoming punishing in the very best way. A few more thrusts and his hips went still, his chest over mine as his breaths came rapid and ragged. We kissed until his heartbeat settled down, until there was no way of discerning where he ended and I began.

“Is it okay to say, ‘I love you’ right now?” he whispered, his face so close to mine.

“Yes.”

“Then, I love you, Shane Stratton,” he replied. “I love you so much. And I couldn’t be happier than when I’m at your side.”

“I love you, too, Calder Hayes. More than you’ll ever know.”

CALDER

“I feellike I haven’t seen you fully clothed in days.” I grinned as I looked over at Shane. He was getting dressed for the day, complete with his blue jeans and cowboy hat in place.

It’d been a whirlwind since we’d confessed our love to each other, everything fitting together like it’d always been that way. I’d been staying over at Shane’s cabin, practically moving all my stuff into his bedroom closet. We’d still been finding work to do around the ranch, but so much of our time was spent in Shane’s bed that everything else felt like a blur.

“I feel like I haven’t seen anyone else but you in a few days,” Shane replied, a thoughtful look on his face. “Maybe I should check in with people.”
