Ashley toyed with his own balls while Colt jerked him off. At the same time, Colt cupped his sac. A smile curled Ashley’s lips. He loved seeing Colt so happy and hot. Each tug and pull added to Ashley’s pleasure. He bucked against Colt and thrust his hips. He shoved his dick into Colt’s fingers. His skin prickled and he gasped for air.

“Jesus,” Colt muttered. His breathing became labored. “I want to do this forever.”

“Me too.” Ashley let go of his balls and focused on the sensation of heat in his veins. The orgasm built low in his belly and overwhelmed him within seconds.

“Ash,” Colt murmured. He increased pressure on Ashley’s cock. “I need to come.”

Ashley sped up his strokes then swiped his thumb across the top of Colt’s dick. The gentle pressure on the blunt head of his lover’s erection was all Colt needed. Colt tensed and jerked his hips. Two thick ribbons of cum splattered onto his belly and pubic hair.

“Oh fuck,” he said, drawing out the words. “You know how to make me come apart.”

Ashley kissed Colt’s shoulder. He needed to come, too, but he wanted to be sure Colt was fine before he gave in.

“That’s the best relaxation technique I could want.” Colt eased onto his side and winced. He smeared cum from his stomach onto Ashley’s hip. “Still doesn’t make the ribs hurt less, but I believe I owe you an orgasm.” He alternated between increased pressure and soft touches. The different sensations—hard and easy—nudged Ashley closer to climax.

Ashley flopped over to his back and groaned. The heat came back double-time and his legs trembled. He gritted his teeth to keep the noise at bay. Just a little more… He planted his feet on the mattress and met Colt thrust for thrust.

“Come, Ash. Fall apart for me.” Colt nipped Ashley’s earlobe. His breath warmed Ashley’s skin. Ashley’s brain cells misfired as the orgasm swept through him. He shivered. Hot cum splattered on his belly. He closed his eyes and moaned. “Whoa.”

“It’s twenty times better when you haven’t had any for a while.” Colt kissed Ashley’s temple. “Love you, Ash.”

Ashley relaxed and sighed. Colt hadn’t been kidding. The climax was what he needed from the man he craved.

Colt draped his arm across Ashley’s belly. “Much better.”

“Uh-huh.” Ashley opened his eyes and laced his fingers with Colt’s. He could stay in Colt’s arms forever.

“I have other news, but knowing you love me makes everything else blah.” Colt twined their legs together. “Two of the three people who beat the hell out of me were caught. Jordan called. I guess the woman who’d been brought in earlier rolled on the others. She gave up their hiding place. They were arrested this morning and will be arraigned tomorrow. No word on if it’ll go to court for a trial, but when I need to testify, I will.”

“Wow.” Ashley rested his head against Colt’s. “Have they confessed?”

“Not in so many words. If it gets that far and no one makes a deal, the pretrial stuff could happen within a couple of weeks,” Colt said. “I’m not afraid. I just want it over.”

“Me too.” He wanted to be able to spend time with his lover and not have to worry about who might jump out of the shadows. He wanted to forget about being scared and focus on building their life together.

“It’ll be over soon. Colin and Farin set the festival date for mid-June. We’ll have the celebration and Cedarwood will forget the hate. By then the trial should be over—if there is one—and we can move forward.” Colt kissed him again. “Maybe even make this permanent.”

Ashley snuggled up to his boyfriend. He should find a towel or something to clean them off, but he’d do it in a moment. He’d found his rainbow over Cedarwood when he’d found Colt. They’d worry about the rest of the world later. Now he never wanted those bright colors to fade. Being in love was an awesome feeling.
