Hot at Last (7 page)

“My arm is good, but it won’t last long. Get in here and hold my legs. Fuck me the way I need it,” Ken said.

Avery smiled and knelt on the bed. He worked the lube in Ken’s hole then put on protection. Holding Ken’s legs wide and up, Avery filled Ken’s ass in one stroke. The grin on Ken’s face said it all. They were in perfect sync as they fucked. When Ken reached for his own cock, Avery let Ken’s legs rest over his shoulder and worked Ken’s cock.

“Shit!” Ken met Avery’s thrusts faster.

“Mine. You’re all mine,” Avery said as he jerked Ken’s dick faster and faster.

“Yes!” Ken screamed and came all over himself as he ground his ass to Avery.

Holding Ken’s hips, Avery fucked the only man he’d ever loved and wanted. No more doubts or confusion. No more questions or stress. It felt like a dream, but he was going to hold Ken to it. Through thick or thin, nothing would tear them apart again. Looking into Ken’s blue eyes, he saw they were finally of one heart, one mind and one love. His orgasm took him over the edge slowly.

With a groan, Avery fell on top of Ken and kissed him. Ken wrapped both arms around Avery’s shoulders and rolled him onto his back, and they made out like it was a first date.

Epilogue

Six months later…

Ken stood on the stage of the Big D with a microphone in his hand. He was in his manager attire tonight. For the first time, he was nervous up there. He’d waited for a night where Bev and Avery were both working to announce his retirement from dancing. They knew about it, of course, but Bev insisted on making a big deal. He loved a fuss but had never expected to be nervous.

As the applause died down, Ken lifted the mic to his mouth. “I’m sorry and happy to announce that I’m no longer going to be performing here.”

The crowd booed.

Chuckling, Ken let them have their say.

“I’m sorry. I know I’ve still got the moves and the body for it. The truth is, I’ve been doing that job for twenty years, and I finally got a real promotion. From now on, I’ll be managing Big D’s. If you have any complaints, concerns or recommendations…please let me know. I wanted to thank all of you for making me feel like the hottest guy in the world for a long time.”

The crowd cheered, and Ken started to head off stage. He stopped when Avery came at him with a bunch of roses. Part of Ken wanted to run behind the big red curtain.

Ever the professional, he took the flowers and kissed his boyfriend. Their relationship was no secret. Through all the men cheering, Ken heard Bev screaming and shouting from the back.

Smiling, Ken nodded. “Thanks,” he said.

“I’m not done.” Avery took the microphone. “Some of you may not know that I used to dance here, too. That’s where I met this guy. It took a long time for us to figure it out. To make it work the way it should work. Love can be a mess. We finally got it right. But there is one thing left to do.”

Panic set in. Ken was used to directing the action on stage, not having it sprung on him. “What are you doing?” he whispered.

Avery pulled a box from his pocket and knelt down. “Making a fuss. Marry me?”

The crowd went wild, but it was a blur to Ken. He’d only fallen off a stage once in his career, but he was close to his first fainting spell on stage. “I can’t believe this.”

“Would you rather I give you a lap dance here on stage?” Avery offered.

Ken laughed. “That’s more of a private thing now. Right?”

“So say yes. We’ll get married in California and honeymoon in Hawaii.” Avery’s dark brown eyes locked on Ken’s.

The man was serious and not going to give up. Ken knew his answer, but he had to savor the moment. “I always wanted to go to Hawaii.”

“I know,” Avery said.

Ken nodded, speechless for a moment. Finally, he pushed through the shock. “Yes.”

Avery stood and hugged him tight. Ken felt a twinge of guilt for his past mistakes. But they’d put their youthful drama and mistakes behind them, along with the stubbornness and strain of their friendship. If they’d loved each other less, they both could’ve walked away. They’d stalemated out of fear of losing what they had.

“Best day of my life so far,” Avery said.

Ken waved to the crowd. He took his last bow, dragging Avery down with him then headed off stage, tugging Avery along. “My favorite day is the day I fell off that stage and messed up my shoulder.”

“Why? Your shoulder still aches when it gets chilly.” Avery slid the ring on Ken’s finger.

Ken admired the band. “I don’t care about a little pain. I don’t think we’d ever have dealt with our past or feelings if I hadn’t been injured. Stupid pride and stubbornness.”

“We’re both guilty of that. Let it go. We’re still young.” Avery kissed him hard.

* * * *

That night, Avery ordered a ton of Chinese food and laid it out on the coffee table. Ken admired his ring as they ate.

“You really shouldn’t spoil me with food. I want to look good in the wedding pictures.” Ken had texted his mother and aunt already. They might not read the messages until morning, and his father probably wouldn’t come to the wedding, but Avery was glad Ken had reunited with the supportive members of his family.

Avery grinned. “I don’t care if you go bald and get a big gut. What we have was never about looks.”

“You didn’t want me for my body?” Ken put down his eggroll.

“I wanted your body, but if that’s all it was, we’d have been over each other after a few nights of hot sex.” Avery wagged his chopsticks at Ken. “You’re deeper than you think.”

Ken went to the kitchen and brought back one of the wooden chairs from the dining set. He sat primly in it and smacked his thighs. “Come on.”

“What?” Avery asked.

“Fine, I’m deep. If you say so. But you’re still hot. I want a balanced marriage. Unconditional love and partnership and sickness and health. All that but I want sex. I want seduction and lap dances.” Ken grinned. “Show me what you’ve got—if you’ve still got it.”

Avery set down his chopsticks then took a sip of water. He stood up slowly and focused on one goal. Getting his future hubby hard as a rock and teasing him until he begged for sex. “You asked for it.”
