Home.
A place where he was to be safe, he wasn’t, and that was on Corbin.
When he ran his fingers across Corbin’s cheeks, he stared into his eyes.
“No matter what happens, don’t forget that we had this,” Will said, needing to start severing the bonds. When Corbin called him from slumber, he wouldn’t come anymore.
He wouldn’t return.
It was time for the man to let him go and start a new life. It was time to find love again.
When Will’s fingers wrapped around his erection, his body crisscrossed with goosebumps.
“How could I forget?” he whispered through the pain that tormented him. “You are the love of my life.”
Will knew that vow needed to be broken.
But first, he needed to show Corbin one last moment they shared, so he could carry that in his heart to remember him. Going forward, there would be nothing but new beginnings.
That place card was being torn away, and an opening was there for the new person who would be the love of Corbin’s life.
His very long life.
Finding his mouth with his, Will shared it all.
The kiss made a statement.
It said one thing.
Forever.
What wouldn’t Will give to make that true?
What wouldn’t he do to go back to that day and change the outcome?
Only, he couldn’t.
Fate had spoken, and now, it was speaking again. The past was disappearing, and the future was all that existed. He wouldn’t return to the scene of the crime.
He would push forward into his new future.
When Corbin broke the kiss, he stared into his husband’s eyes and that love was there. That would always be a memory.
They had this.
Yeah, so much for gentle lovemaking. Corbin needed to fill himself up with as much of this man as he could.
He believed him when he said this was the end.
“Will you always think about me?” Will asked, knowing what he craved more than anything.
He needed to know that what they’d had then was more than most people found.
It had been a miracle.
As his hands wandered, Corbin fought to not feel that pleasure, but it was wrapping around him like iron tendrils.
“Forever, Will,” he admitted, the pleasure in his voice thick as his control was slipping away.
