Fight the Tide

by Keira Andrews

That it was all of him Parker felt—not just his human side—made Adam’s blood sing. He’d never dreamed of revealing himself to a lover, and certainly not during the act itself. But Parker wanted it; he came so hard when Adam let the wolf out.

Adam had to swallow hard over the swell of emotion. Gratitude that he was lucky enough to face the world with Parker beside him warmed him as he plunged into the chilly depths. The temperature soon felt comfortable, and they treaded water lazily. Tangling their legs as he got closer, Adam took Parker’s face in his hands and whispered across his lips, “Unbreakable.”

After salty kisses, Parker tipped his head back and watched the stars while Adam kept his gaze on the curve of Parker’s neck, his pale skin glistening, his pulse throbbing steadily.

“I don’t want to hold you back.” “You don’t. You hold me together.”

He dug his fingers into Adam’s arms and stared into his eyes. “I promise. I’ll take care of you.” Still smiling, Adam hauled him close in a full-body hug that warmed Parker inside and out. “You always do.”

“Fuck,” Parker muttered. “Yeah, this works.” He ran his palms over Adam’s ass, caressing gently. “Look at you. You’re so beautiful.” Adam had never felt more vulnerable yet completely safe at the same time. Parker kissed down his spine, wet and gentle, and Adam didn’t try to stop a whimper. He knew Parker understood.

“My hand’s inside you,” Parker muttered, as if he couldn’t believe it. “Fuck, I never thought this would be so hot. I’m getting really hard.”

“Ease back until it’s just your hand again.” Parker tensed. “Does it hurt?” “No, no. Just pull back, and then get your dick in too. Jack yourself off inside me. Fill me.” He imagined Parker’s cum would flow deep inside him and stay.

“What?” In answer, Adam sank to his knees and took Parker’s face in his hands, kissing him softly. He rubbed their noses together. Finally, he got out, “I love you.” Trembling and kissing him back, Parker murmured, “I love you too. Don’t die, okay? Let’s not die.”
