in handy.”
As Liam drove, Amish looked around at the scenery. Trees with brightly colored leaves came into view, then naked branches, some dotted with snow. The seasons were changing. Summer, autumn, winter. “Hey, there’s snow.”
Liam nodded. “Weird. I’ve never seen snow in July, have you?”
“July, it’s more like January.”
Liam slowed down as the car began to slip a little on the road. Luckily, they met no traffic. The snow started to slack, and the winds blew. Suddenly, there were birds, and tiny wildflowers peppered the fields.
“Spring,” Amish said. “It’s spring.”
Liam smiled. “I know. It’s the time of new beginnings.”
“Ah, yeah, but doesn’t it bother you that we’ve gone through four seasons in less than an hour? Isn’t there something a little strange about that?” Amish made a face.
“No. It makes perfect sense. There’s the city.”
Amish glanced out the side window. “New York.”
“Um. Where we first met. I love you so much.” His voice was choked with emotion. He pulled the car over. “I hope you don’t mind.”
Amish watched as Liam got out. He opened the door and joined him. They could see the traffic in the distance, the Hudson River. “Are you okay, Liam?”
“No one or nothing will ever tear us apart again, Amish. You are my one and only love, mortal or immortal, remember me or not,” he smiled and reached out to touch his face. “You will fall in love with me again. I can wait.”
“And while you’re waiting, do I get conjugal rights?” He grinned, waiting for a reaction.
Liam moved closer. “We’ll see. Let’s get you home first.”
“Since I have no place else to go...” Amish smiled softly, then he pressed his lips against Liam’s just for a second. He tasted like candy, sweet, moist.
Liam smiled, then walked back to the car.
They drove into the city, that kiss lingering on Amish’s mouth. “Are you going to tell me about us?”
There was a long silence. “For now, let’s just be, okay?”
“Okay. Could we just be in a restaurant? I’m starving.”
Liam reached over to take his hand. He squeezed it. “Chinese or Italian?”
Six years later
“Calling Dr. Macdonald, calling Dr. Macdonald,” Amish mumbled as he slowly moved his lips down Liam’s chest. He paused to lick his shaft from base to tip, then took the head of his cock into his mouth.
Liam expressed his appreciation by moaning deeply. A hand landed in Amish’s hair, and he redoubled his efforts by moving his lips down Liam’s shaft. The fingers tightened in his hair, tugging a little as Liam’s vocalizations grew louder and more enthused.
Amish loved giving Liam pleasure. He enjoyed hearing his labored breath and whispered encouragements. When Liam came, it was always with a shout and an I love you so fuckin’ much!
It made Amish laugh. He tasted Liam’s cum now, licking his lips, backing off to let him enjoy that rush. He leaned on his elbow beside him and watched his face, the beautiful contortions that reassured him that Liam still loved him.
He stroked Liam’s hair and kissed his forehead. “Are you still tired? Go back to sleep. You are on the night shift this week.”
Liam smiled at him. “Yeah. The life of a resident.” He reached up and touched Amish’s cheek. “Have I told you how much I love you?”
“I believe so,” Amish said, pulling Liam into his arms. He felt Liam take his cock in hand.
“Um, you’re hard. Let me take care of that for you,” Liam murmured, kissing his neck.
“No time, babe. It’s almost seven.” Amish disengaged himself and got out of bed. If he stayed any longer, he’d be late for work.
Liam made a sound of disappointment. “I’ll probably see you later. I’m in Emergency.”
Amish left the bedroom and went down the hallway to the bathroom. He turned on the shower and hoped the traffic on the bridge wouldn’t be too heavy this morning. At least it wasn’t snowing, but it was still cold. He couldn’t wait for spring, but that was a few weeks away yet. He got out of the shower, dried off, ran a razor swiftly over his jaw. Everyone was wearing a little fuzz on their jaw nowadays, and the chief hadn’t complained, yet. When he got back to the room, Liam had turned on his side and fallen back to sleep. Amish smiled, opened the closet the door, took out some jeans and a shirt, and quickly got dressed.
He was on the road a half-hour later, caught in dense traffic with a thermos of coffee and a cold piece of
