Chapter 22

Kyan's eyes fluttered open as he heard the knocking on his door. Groaning, he looked at the clock. Thom and he had just gone to sleep practically hours ago. Tossing back the covers, he struggled out of bed. It wasn't until he was halfway to the door that he realized he was still naked.

"I'll be right there," he grunted, hoping the person would keep quiet. He didn't want to wake Thom.

As he pulled on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, he looked at the sleeping man and felt his heart skip a beat. A desperate yearning to crawl back into bed and snuggle into his arms pulled at his soul. He sighed and headed towards the door.

"Are you up?" Andrew stood in the hallway.

"Shit." Kyan quickly pulled the door close behind him. The last thing he need was for Andrew to find Thom naked in his bed.

"The car leaves in forty minutes," Andrew stated.

"Yeah, yeah," Kyan said. "I'll be ready."

"Are you packed? I just finished helping Jai. I could---" He started to move in.

"I'll be ready!" Kyan said, forcefully, blocking his way.

Andrew raised his eyebrows. "What are you hiding?"

"Christ, I'm not hiding anything. I'm a grown man. I can take care of myself." He squeezed his way back into the room. "I'll be downstairs, okay."

After pushing the door shut, Kyan headed into the bathroom to debate whether or not to take a shower. All he really wanted to do was get back in bed- and stay there for eternity.

"Shower, shower, shower," he mumbled to himself, giving in to reality. He peeled off his clothes and climbed underneath the pulsating, warm water. Moaning contently, he closed his eyes, letting his thoughts wander to the previous night- "I'm in love."

He was busy scrubbing his face when he heard the shower curtain pull back and felt Thom step into the tub.

"What are you doing?" Kyan asked, teasingly, dunking his face into the water to wash the cleanser off.

"Trying to stop you from leaving," Thom muttered, sliding his arms around Kyan's waist.

"I'm just going to be gone overnight."

"I don't want to spend one night without you," he whispered, nudging his nose against Kyan's earlobe. His fingers danced against his wet skin.

"I think you'll live," Kyan said, quietly, leaning into him and linking their fingers together as they touched his toned stomach.

"I just found you… I just got you. I don't want to let you go."

Kyan tilted his head back so Thom could kiss him, sipping the water from his lips. The water rained over them in a sensual massage. Kyan felt Thom hardened against him, and within seconds all the blood in his body rushed between his thighs. Their kiss deepened, and Thom dropped one hand and delicately ran his fingers over the growing length.

Kyan moaned, pulling his lips away. "We can't do this."

"I know."

The words had barely escaped before they were kissing again- hungrily. Thom's hand was stroking Kyan in a lazy, hypnotic fashion- loving the way Kyan's body was responding to his and never wanting to let go.

"Thom…"

"I know you don't want me to stop," he whispered.

Kyan squirmed. "I have to pack…" Thom kissed him quickly. "I have a plane to catch…" They kissed once more. "I have to go…"

"Stay with me," he pleaded.

Kyan reached up with his hand and touched Thom's cheek. "Tell me again."

He licked his lips, swallowing the droplets of water. "Stay with me."

"Okay," he muttered, reaching for the next kiss.

Their tongues tangled, and their hands gripped each other in passion. Kyan rotated his hips just slightly until Thom groaned uncontrollably, tightening his fingers around Kyan's cock.

"Don't lie," Thom panted.

"I'm not," he breathed, running his tongue around Thom's open mouth.

"You…" He swallowed. "You have an obligation…"

"Only to you," Kyan whispered, then pressing their lips together, firmly.

Thom lifted his head a few seconds later. "Do you hear that?"

"Yeah," he grunted, suddenly feeling as if he was being shoved back to earth.

"Someone's at the door."

"Perfect."

The two of them unwrapped themselves and reluctantly, Thom started out of the tub. Kyan didn't miss the opportunity to let his eyes wander over his boyfriend's body- groaning at the sight.

"Why do you do this to me?" Thom whined.

"Do what?" he asked, innocently.

"Look at me like that…" he breathed, leaning in. "Smoldering lust in your eyes."

Kyan stepped out of the shower spray and touched Thom's cheek. "Is that what my eyes look like?"

"Is that how you feel?" Thom whispered, darting his tongue out across his lips.

The knocking turned to pounding, and Kyan cursed. He turned away, closing his eyes.

"If it's Andrew or the crew…" he began.

"I know, I know," Thom grumbled, grabbing a towel.

The shower curtain slapped shut. Kyan hissed under his breath as Thom left him.

"What the hell are you two doing in here?"

"Christ," Kyan groaned, hearing Jai's voice.

"Kyan, are you in there?" he asked.

"I'm taking a shower." Kyan managed through gritted teeth.

"As was Thom, I see."

"Oh, get over it," Thom said. "We weren't doing anything."

"Weren't doing anything?" Jai shrilled. "The two of us have to be at the airport--"

"Do you think I don't know that?" Thom asked.

"You are distracting him," Jai lectured.

"I like the distraction," Kyan admitted.

"Hmm, I bet you do," Jai muttered. He pushed Thom out of the bathroom. "Get dressed, then you are going to help me pack his shit."

"But---" Thom started to protest.

"My God, you two are acting like a bunch of horny teenagers."

Kyan looked down at his fallen erection and grimaced. "Not anymore."

When he emerged, he found Jai tossing his stuff into his suitcase that was perched on the bed. Thom was whining as he helped haphazardly.

"Can I get some clothes please?" Kyan asked.

"Ugh, please do," Jai groaned, looking up.

Kyan blushed as he saw Thom's eyes glance over him. He grabbed a pair of jeans and a sweater, reminding himself there was a strong possibility that they would be landing in snow.

"Do you need any help getting dressed?" Thom asked him casually.

He smiled to himself. "As a matter of fact, I do."

"Oh, brother," Jai sighed, seeing the two men look at him hopefully. He glanced at the clock and sighed. "Ten minutes, okay? In ten minutes I expect Kyan to be dressed and ready to go. If he isn't---" The slamming of the bathroom door killed his words.

"You told me you weren't going to leave," Thom panted between heavy kisses as he pressed Kyan against the closed door.

"You told me I had an obligation."

Thom shoved his hand between Kyan's legs, rubbing his palm over his cock as his fingers sank into his skin. He felt Kyan hardened in his hand and groaned in satisfaction.

"Make love to me," Kyan muttered, throwing his head back. "Make love to me one last time…."

"Last time?" Thom nipped. "Honey, I'm going to be making love to you the rest of my life."

Kyan gripped his shoulders. "Promise?"

"Christ, I love you," he groaned. "You are so damn insecure."

"I don't want to lose you."

Thom brushed his lips against Kyan's ear. "I'm not going anywhere."

He swallowed thickly. "I love you, Thom."

Thom moaned seductively, sending a million shivers down Kyan's spine. Using his teeth, he traveled down Kyan's skin, awakening every sexual nerve in his body. His tongue lapped around the hardened nipples, and his fingers tightened over the throbbing length. He rubbed his palm against the constricted sack, easing the tension and letting it spill over his hand.

Kyan whimpered uncontrollably and pressed the back of his head into the door. He felt as if his whole body was going to explode. "We can't do this," he panted.

"Of course we can," Thom muttered; his lips barely coming off Kyan's skin. He lowered his body just a little.

"No… we don't…" he grunted. "Time."

"They can wait," he answered, softly; his knees coming in contact with the tiled floor. "I need you now."

Kyan dropped his head down and opened his eyes to see Thom studying him.

"I want to taste you," Thom moaned, flicking his tongue out and catching the pebble of pre-cum that glistened the tip.

Kyan jolted.

"And feel you in my mouth," he continued in a whisper.

"Thom…" Kyan begged.

"My God, you are beautiful," he whispered before running his lips over the head.

Kyan sucked his breath in and instantly his fingers buried into Thom's shoulder. His hips jutted forward as Thom snaked his hand around his hips. He pulled Kyan to him, opened his mouth slightly, and slid the thick shaft passed his lips.

"Christ," Kyan hissed, tossing his head to the side.

He felt Thom's jaw drop, and he thrust deeper into his mouth until Thom's lips were wrapped around the base and the tip of his cock brushed against the back of Thom's throat. He groaned wildly, letting his pleasure echo through the room. Opening his eyes he saw their reflection in the full-length mirror that was hung on the wall next to them. His cock practically erupted as he watched Thom pull him in and out of his mouth, licking him, sucking him. He swallowed to try and find his breath.

"Let me watch you," he managed.

Thom rounded his eyes up, pausing his rhythm a little to figure out what Kyan was saying. He coaxed himself to follow his boyfriend's gaze and felt his chest constrict at their image. He was able to catch Kyan's eye and moaned around his cock at the sight.

The feeling that ripped through Kyan's body spilled from his lips in a roaring growl while he emptied an uncontrolled release into Thom's mouth. He forced his eyes to stay open as Thom shifted his weight and fumbled with the zipper on his jeans. Once undone, Thom pushed the denim and cotton briefs around his knees, ran his fingers up his thigh, and carefully cupped his pulsating member that was pressed against his stomach. He moaned again, wrapping his hand around himself.

Grunting, Kyan licked his lips. "I'm going to come if you keep doing that," he warned.

Thom tore his eyes away from the mirror, looking up at Kyan, and letting a slow rumble encase the cock that was in his mouth. He sighed- his throat bobbing rapidly- as the hot, sticky liquid coated his tongue. Kyan's hand moved from his shoulder to his head to wrap the short strands of hair around his fingers. He tugged on them gently.

"More," he murmured.

Thom pulled him out slowly, making sure his tongue pressed into the underside of the tight shaft until it lapped underneath the sensitive tip. He hummed just slightly, holding the gushing tip between his lips.

"Thom!" Kyan practically screamed- his body arching back.

The approaching release sent him into sensory overload, and he began fucking Thom's mouth in a sexual frenzy. Thom matched his drive, pulling his cock in and out of his hand- using the countless drops of pre-cum as his lubrication. The room didn't absorb any of the sounds- the wetness of his lips sliding over Kyan's cock, the slapping of flesh on flesh as he stroked himself, the incoherent words Kyan was proclaiming to him- all bouncing around them, heightening their excited, animalistic state.

They both heard the singing at the same time. The loud, overpowering opening number to the musical "Rent" seeped underneath the door. It was obvious that Jai could hear everything that was going on in the echoed bathroom, and thus began to sing to block out the over-pleasured noises. The two of them acknowledged it, but didn't let it stop them. They were too close- to their goal, to each other- to have anything interrupt them.

Kyan could tell that Thom was close. His mouth tightened forcefully around his cock, and he sucked him mercifully. He thrust himself deeper, letting his balls slap against Thom's chin. Tilting his head back, he still managed to keep his eyes on their image, watching Thom's hand tug furiously on his long, hard dick, and shuddering at the sight of his own cock wet from Thom's tongue. A rush of emotion swelled his heart, and he cried out. He never imagined anything so sexual, so out of control and hurried, could make him dizzy with affection. His fingers buried into Thom's head, and he licked his lips.

"I love you," he breathed, wondering if Thom could even hear him over the plethora of noises that surrounded them.

Thom let Kyan's cock slid out of his mouth. "Say it again."

Kyan's other hand curled into a ball, and he pressed it against the door. His eyes blurred, causing them to melt into one. He could hardly breathe.

"I… love… you."

He cried out as his body erupted into violent shudders. The words still hung in the air as he felt the building tension break free, filling Thom's mouth.

Within seconds, Thom was moaning wildly as he came- spreading his seed over the bathroom floor. Kyan whimpered as he watched Thom milk his cock, wishing that he could've been those hands. Exhausted, he fell back against the door and muttered in satisfaction.

Thom delicately licked his boyfriend's spent penis clean, savoring every drop and every taste that coated his tongue before sitting back on his feet and reveling in their passion.

Jai was still singing outside the door, and Kyan and Thom exchanged glances before bursting into laughter.

"Come here," Kyan coaxed, holding his arms out.

Thom slid his hands into his open ones and pulled himself up. They kissed softly, wrapping their arms around each other.

"Say it again," Thom murmured.

"I never knew you were such a sap," Kyan teased.

"I don't want you to forget," he answered, smiling.

Their lips touched briefly.

"I love you," Kyan muttered. "I'll always love you. I'll never forget."

"You better not," Thom whispered, then kissing him again.

"Are you two done in there!" Jai yelled suddenly. "In case you are wondering, I'm going to need some serious therapy after this."

Their sexual sanction disappeared as Thom moved Kyan aside to stick his head out the door.

"What in God's name do you think was going to happen when we came in here?"

"At least keep it quiet!" Jai argued. "The whole state of Texas heard Kyan moaning and groaning."

Kyan blushed as he started to get dress.

"Don’t mind what he says," Thom whispered, wrapping his arms around Kyan's waist and kissing his neck after he straightened himself out. "I love when you moan like that."

Kyan smiled and reached for the bottle of product that sat on the sink, letting Thom hang on him as he styled his hair.

"Can we just stay in this bathroom forever?" Thom asked.

"I don't think the Davids would like that very much."

Thom tightened his arms around him. "You are only going to be away from me for thirty-six hours, but…."

Kyan dropped his left hand to stroke Thom's arms.

"When we get home…."

"Yeah," Kyan whispered, looking at him through the mirror.

"I want to take you to my house in the Hamptons- just you and me. No interruptions. No work. No one else. Just us."

Kyan tilted his head just slightly and closed his eyes. "Is that going to be possible? We have so much to do when we get home… the book, the CD."

Thom grunted. He had forgotten about all the things that were lined up in the next few months. They were going to be running ragged for weeks without a break. It was going to be an endless parade of promotion, meet and greets, and interviews.

"We'll make time," Kyan vowed, turning in Thom's arms to face him.

Thom kissed him lightly.

"Okay, guys, time is up!" Jai announced, throwing the door open without even knocking. He paused when he saw them wrapped around each other. "Aww! You guys are so cute!"

"Oh, good lord," Thom sighed.

"I'm so happy for the two of you," Jai bounced. "Even though I could've done without…." He motioned around the room and shuddered.

"Am I all packed?" Kyan asked, grabbing a hold of the rest of his belongings in the bathroom.

"Yes, and the car is waiting," Jai said. "Andrew just called me, freaking out because we weren't downstairs yet."

Kyan rolled his eyes and pushed himself out of the room. He dumped his products in the big, open suitcase and zipped it up.

"I'll get it," Thom offered, yanking it off the bed.

"I can lift my own suitcase," Kyan said.

"Just…" He pushed Kyan towards the door. "Go!"

Jai lead the two of them down to the elevators, looking over his shoulder continuously and giggling.

"He's going to drive me crazy," Kyan hissed to Thom.

"Is there something wrong with me being happy for the two of you?" Jai asked. "I can't help it! It's just too cute."

"Cute?" Thom snorted.

"Why are you guys teasing me!" Jai demanded. "You two are my closest friends- so sue me if I'm excited for you both." He jammed his thumb into the down button. "It's never-ending!"

Thom wrapped his arm around Jai's shoulders and leaned on him. "Of course, pumpkin." He grinned. "It's what you get for being the runt of the litter."

"It's good to be getting away from you for a day," Jai expressed.

"Ah, you'll miss me," Thom teased, rubbing his head.

Jai whined and ducked a little. "Stop…."

"And you get to spy on me," Kyan added, raising his eyebrow. "You're Thom's eyes and ears."

"Damn straight," Thom chimed. "You see him even glance at another guy- you call me immediately," he instructed Jai.

"Oh, good lord," Jai sighed.

Kyan stepped closer to his boyfriend. "I only have eyes for you…." he drew.

"My god," Jai groaned in pain as the two men started kissing. With Thom's arm still wound around him, he was helpless.

"I love you," Kyan said once their lips parted.

Thom smiled. "I love you, too."

Instantly they were kissing again.

"Elevator's here! Elevator's here!" Jai yelled once the doors slid open. He pinched Thom's side to get him to let go of him.

"Ouch!" Thom yelped, jumping away.

"We gotta go!" Jai pointed out, throwing his suitcase into the car. He reached up and kissed Thom's cheek. "See ya tomorrow night."

"Christ that hurt," Thom hissed, rubbing his skin.

"Oh, don’t be such a baby," Jai said. "Kyan, come on." He grabbed his friend's suitcases and pulled them in with him.

"Okay, okay," Kyan said, looking at Jai then turning his eyes to Thom.

"Call me when you get there," Thom said, taking his hand and running it over Kyan's shoulder to behind his head. His fingers massaged his neck lovingly.

"You know I will," he said.

Thom leaned in and brushed his lips lightly. "Fly safe."

Kyan gripped Thom's shirt, pulling him towards his body. "Thom…" he groaned before they kissed heavily- passionately.

"For the love of God!" Jai yelled. "It's only an overnight separation!"

Thom sighed, ignoring Jai's dramatic puffs. "I love you."

Kyan placed a small kiss on his lips. "I love you." He stepped away. "I'll talk to you tonight. Bye."

Thom watched as he got onto the elevator. "Bye," he said, looking at Jai and winking.

Jai mocked him.

Kyan swallowed as the heavy doors closed between them. "It's only overnight, but Jesus Christ…" he breathed.

"You'll survive," Jai said, slapping his shoulder. "We are going to be so busy the next thirty-six hours you'll never know he's gone."

Kyan smiled weakly.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Jai whined. "Don't get all weepy! You'll see him tomorrow night."

"Yeah, I know," Kyan nodded. "We were talking about it this morning… We just want to spend every second together because we…."

"Finally found each other," Jai finished.

"Yeah," he said.

"Well, that's understandable. New love always feels that way." The doors slid open to the lobby, and the two of them gathered their belongings.

Before Kyan could even answer or express any more of his thoughts, Andrew was rushing up to them with a bellboy in tow to collect their things. They were ushered into a limo, and then sent on their way to the airport.



Thom chewed on his bottom lip as he watched the elevator doors shut. He shuffled his feet a little; a small part of him hoping Kyan would come back. After a few seconds, he deemed himself crazy and turned to go to his room. Instead, he found himself knocking on Carson's door.

"What?" Carson grumbled barely awake. He rubbed his eyes and saw Thom standing before him.

Thom looked at him; not saying anything.

"He and Jai just leave?" Carson grunted.

He nodded.

"Come on," Carson sighed, sympathetically, pushing the door open to let his friend in. "You know you'll see him tomorrow night."

"Why does everyone keep saying that?" Thom vocalized. "I don't care how long it is going to be until I see him again. I want him to be here with me now."

Carson closed the room door, put his arm around Thom's waist and guided him to the bed. "I know, sweetie," he soothed. "Come on. We still have a few hours before we have to leave for our flight… we are just going to lay down here and take a nap."

Thom let out a deep breath as he collapsed on the bed with Carson. "God, I hate feeling this way."

"What way?" Carson mumbled, curling up.

"Being so dependent on a man."

"You aren't being dependent," he said, moving his head to rest on Thom's shoulder. "You want to be with him. What's wrong with that?"

Thom turned his head to look at the blonde man. "I really do love him, Carson."

"I know you do, peanut." He stifled a yawn and closed his eyes. "He loves you, too."
