“You don’t have to give up who you are to love him,” Eliah said.
And with that, he realized, a want that was burning deep in his soul. A desire and a love that was worth fighting for. He just needed to give it time.
“There’s a barbeque out back, at least according to Aaron. And the smell of cooking meat,” he added when he took a breath of wood smoke on the air. “Aw, fuck you all,” Emilio groaned. “I’m fuckin’ starving, and these assholes ordered pizza.” Jude grinned. “I’ll make it up to you. All you have to do is get home safely.” “Babe, don’t make promises you aren’t prepared to keep,” Emilio said with a low growl. “I want to fuckin’ feast, and it ain’t at some buffet.”
“Please don’t make me hard right as I’m about to walk into dinner.” Emilio laughed very softly. “I’ll go easy on you, but only because I like you.” “Like me?” Jude pressed. There was a long silence, then Emilio said in a begging tone, “Don’t make me say it here.”
“We figured. If not the cop thing, then the fact that we’re all a bunch of disabled homos.” At that, Jax threw his head back and laughed. “Fuck, man. I mean—yeah. People are pretty pissed about the cop thing, but Ghost made his own bed when he turned in his cut for a fuckin’ badge.”
Jax’s face went dark. “That fucker started killing our brothers. Believe me, he’s willing to dance with any goddamn devil out there if it means stopping that crazy fuck.”
“If people would get their heads out of their own asses long enough to realized that men like me—and like Rory, and like all the fuckin’ fags and cripples in our club—are better than someone like Hydra, maybe we wouldn’t be sitting here trying to get revenge for your dead brother.”
“Oh, a fine idea. Mocking the man who is about to both feed you and give you orgasms.”
“I think I’m falling in love with you,” he said. He felt Emilio still, and he slowed his stroking, but he didn’t release his cock.
“But I know that my heart isn’t lying to me. I know that love comes in so many forms, it’s impossible to name them all. And I know that these last beats of my heart have been for you and only you.”
He leaned in and closed his eyes, and only just realized that in the moments they were together, Emilio never said he loved him too.
Kicks licked his lips, drawing up the small threads of courage he had. “I think so. Uh. I love you. Have I…I mean. I know I haven’t said it, but I hope I’ve showed you enough.”
“I know I didn’t say it before, but I should have. And I’m sorry. I’m so fuckin’ in love with you, there really ain’t words for it.”
When one feels a little bit weak…” “The other one can be stronger for a little while,” Jude breathed out. “I love you.” This time there was no hesitation as the words left his lips. “I love you too.”
