eyes were heavy from too much champagne. He dreamt of tonight’s performance, the fans and the party that followed.
The bed rocked and woke him.
“I didn’t mean to wake you.” Angel slid under the covers and extended his arm, capturing Tommy in a warm embrace. Tommy nestled in the crook of Angel’s shoulder, but sleep no longer beckoned. He was uncomfortable sleeping on his side, even if it was in the arms of the man he loved most in the world. He stirred and flipped onto his back. “I’m not used to sleeping like this. The bed feels empty.”
“It’s not empty. I’m here.” Angel sounded hurt.
Tommy rolled back into Angel’s shoulder. “I know. I’m sorry. I’m just used to being sandwiched between you and Jessi. I don’t know what to do with my other arm. He held it up in the air and looked at it.
Angel took Tommy’s free hand and kissed it. “This hand belongs to me for the next few weeks.” He put Tommy’s hand flat on his chest over his heart. “Do you feel that?”
Tommy pressed his hand into Angel’s muscular chest until he felt the steady beat of his heart. He kissed Angel’s shoulder and nodded up at him.
“Each beat of my heart is telling you how much I love you. Every night this is where your hand will rest and listen to the depth of my love for you.”
Tommy snuggled closer so there was no space between them and slung his leg over Angel’s knee. He kept the palm of his hand on Angel’s chest and felt the gentle beat of Angel’s heart pulsate against the fleshy part of his hand. Sleep carried him away with the echo of Angel’s heart in his ears.
Tommy thought he was still dreaming. A gentle hand tucked strands of hair behind his ear. Warm lips met his neck just below his ear and they rested there long enough to make the hair on the back of his neck prickle. A hot, thick tongue licked tiny circles on the sensitive skin of his neck and warm breath blew on his cheek like a summer breeze. It sent a tingle down his back. The soft moan in his ear let him know that this wasn’t a dream. It was Angel.
Tommy kept his eyes closed and reached for his lover’s cheek. He tilted his head to the side to allow Angel’s magnificent tongue to bathe him in delightful blistering heat. He sighed and turned his face to catch the fleshy godlike tongue in his mouth. He held Angel’s face in his hand and drank in the warm sensuous dew on Angel’s lips.
“That’s the way I want you to wake me up every morning for the rest of my life.” Tommy slid his hand across Angel’s broad chest and around his waist. Before it reached its intended target, Angel removed his hand and held it.
“That can wait. I have something better in mind. The sunrise.”
Tommy brought himself up on one elbow and leaned toward the window. It was still dark. He flashed Angel a whimsical and provocative smile. “I think we still have a few minutes before the sun comes up.”
“We’re not watching it from the balcony. We’re going to watch the sunrise from the beach. Don’t bother to get dressed. We’re taking the sheets and blankets with us.”
They carried the bedding down to the silvery sand. It glowed from beneath the sky that was between the stages of moon and sun.
Tommy stood with his face to the sea, while a cool pre-dawn breeze blew his hair off his shoulders.
“You’ll catch cold.” Angel draped a velour blanket over Tommy’s shoulders. “Come snuggle under the blanket with me. The sun’s about to come up.”
Tommy pulled the corners of the blanket around him and let Angel guide him back to the pillows that were piled on top of the blankets on the sand. He settled into the makeshift bed that Angel created for them. They wrapped their arms and legs around one another in order to keep the heat from their bodies within the confines of the blanket.
In a matter of seconds the sky transformed from a deep gray to
