Two day later we were in Serenity on our way back to New York City. But we had spent a great two days doing nothing. Well not nothing. There wasn’t as much sex as I expected there to be with just us alone, but I think that was Alex feeling uncomfortable in his childhood home.…

After pizza we rode around town and talked more. Alex never did answer my question about shaving. I didn’t really want to, but I also didn’t like being part of the in crowd. It bugged me. But we didn’t talk anymore about Garrett. We just talked. About everything else but the important things. Which was…

Alex drove and we sat in silence watching the trees pass with little ceremony. The sun flickered through them and the world was at peace. At least on the outside. Inside my mind was rolling over and over why that dream – that fear. And I kept landing on one thing. “It had to start…

Alex brought me a heaping plate full of fish and vegetables. It looked sorta like a whole fish with saute vegetables. “What’s wrong pretty boy?” I looked up to see my blue eyed beau staring down at me with a smirk. I shook my head. “Nothing. Did you eat this?” “No. I’m not a fan…

As I waited in the darkness things were different. I could feel the blows land across my back. Could hear the cackle of my demon. I could feel it’s struggle. And then out of no where it dug into me. I felt the claws dig into my back and rake across my skin. It fought…

Sex took us into the wee hours of the morning, with a shower to close out the night or was it morning. Alex in all his wisdom and his obsession with not sharing me he was grumping around even though this was his idea. And in all his grumping had a thing about me being…

Alex rolled over on to his back and now I was looking down into those beautiful blue eyes of his. He looked better, there was a smirk on his face. “I don’t know. I might forever.” He paused to gauge my reaction. “Would that be so terrible?” I shook my head. “No. Not terrible. But…

Alex lead me through a patch of trees and down a pine straw covered path deeper into the woods. I remembered the path. I remembered the building. Alex opened the door and flipped on the light. A small lamp in the corner of the room lit up. “It’s not much.” I laughed. “Can they hear…

My eyes were dry when the door opened and Alex came out. He was carrying a plate of food and a glass. “Figured you might be hungry.” He sat down next me and I offered him the opened letter and took the plate. It smelled good, and looked alright. Better than lunch for certain. But…

Karma was making what looked like chicken and vegetables. I wasn’t really needed from the looks of things. “Z tells us that you just got your own place.” I shrugged. “I’ve had my own place since I was 19ish, but I’m out of HQ now, if that’s what he means. Still doesn’t mean I know…

Alex followed me to the bathroom. He glanced in the open door, “The boys room?” “And my old one.” I shivered as I pushed open the bathroom door and left it. “I don’t think we should stay long.” “We can go now. I can tell Jesse we can’t do it, that he’s welcome down at…

Jesse was smiling happily at us. “Do you boys have a place to stay?” Before Alex could answer I said, “Yeah, Alex has family here too.” Alex smirked, “Not family, but close enough, and yeah we have a room down the road at Solomon’s old stead. His daughter runs the place now.” “You are one…

We started into less trafficked roads and I knew we were almost to Ward. Thirty minutes later, Alex pulled into a drive way of an old log cabin sitting in the forest in the middle of no where. There were several out buildings scattered in the trees. I wondered if this was a farm of…

We drove in the silence of the music again until I was finished with the shake. I was putting it in the console when Alex asked, “You feel better now?” “I’m not hungry, if that’s what you are asking,” I said. “And the rest?” I shrugged. “Still annoyed.” Alex nodded. “So I wanted to clear…

The silence in the car was deafening even though the playlist never let up. Whatever was on Alex’s mind kept him from even the small talk. And I was being an ass by not talking. I was hurt and upset and I was taking it out on Alex. I had so little for breakfast that…

There was darkness in my dreams last night. But there were other dreams. I didn’t think they were influenced by Alex. But he didn’t come to my dreams. I wondered if that was how it was for normal people. I was awake before Alex. He had tossed and turned once he’d actually come back to…

Dream Recreation Alex paused our make out session long enough to move the pizza to a safe location before we knocked it off ruining it. It wasn’t about the price, but about how much I really loved it. And he got that I didn’t eat pizza often. Alex knew what he liked, but he kept…

This Is Love Alex was groaning at the bathroom, so I followed him inside and it was a little gross. I pulled Alex back out of the bathroom and wrapped my arms around him. “Go get some food. Something that will still be decent cold if we get distracted.” He looked at me with a…

Subpar Hotel We drove for about three exits before a hotel sign showed up. But Alex groaned at the name on the sign – The Motel. Like it was the only one in the town. And it likely was. Alex growled as he drove past it. But an hour past and I could see how…
