Then we move as if the world could end in the next minute. He passes me a condom, and I slide it on and slowly move inside him, and it feels so good that I can’t believe I’m only going to be able to experience this once. The only thing I can do is no different from what I’ve done all day: live in the moment. Our hands are pressed to each other’s beating hearts as Orion and I continue living this incredible first together.
