be nearly ready to explode. The nerves in the other man’s body tingling and on edge. If Hayden had done it right, if they were both lucky enough, Christian would be in sensation overload.
    “Come for me. Come with me,” Hayden said, nibbling on Christian’s ear before slamming back into him.
    Christian’s back arched. “Harder! Yes! More!”
    The muscles in Christian’s ass tightened around him, as his lover stiffened, his hips pushing into the mattress. Christian screamed his name. Hayden’s orgasm ripped through him, leaving exposed nerve endings that reveled in the pleasure he wrapped around himself. Collapsing onto Christian’s back, he paused for several moments before rolling off his lover.
    Reluctantly, Hayden got up, disposed of the used condom and cleaned them both up. Crawling back into bed, he wrapped his arms around his lover and leaned his head against the exposed flesh. There were things the couple needed to discuss, but they could and would discuss it later. If their relationship had a chance in hell of getting through all of the crap they faced as SEALs, they were going to have to talk. He knew he was channeling his mother or sister or maybe every freaking woman since the beginning of time, but his gut and head, and maybe even his heart, knew whom it wanted. Christian Williams. To keep. Forever.
     
    Late Saturday afternoon, Hayden leaned against the counter as Christian cut chicken, onions, and peppers before taking out an array of spices, lining up all of the ingredients next to a wok. They’d spent most of the morning in bed going through more of Christian’s condoms. Monday would come way too early. Again. Hayden blew out a breath and ran a hand through his hair. He hated that he couldn’t have a completely public relationship with Christian. The issues with Seiboweitz aside, on the off chance that they didn’t work out together, it had the potential to tear the team apart in a way no other relationship did. Relationships between two military personnel were hard enough, but between two SEALs. That was something untried. “Will you grab me a Coke out of the fridge?” Christian said leaning over and kissing him.
    “You know people will start talking if we’re seen too often together,” Hayden said retrieving the bottle of pop and grabbing one for himself.
    “Babe, they’re going to talk about everyone you ever spend time with. Worse gossips ever.”
    “Yeah well, it’s not like we can talk about politics, religion, or a number of other issues. We all either have differing views or all the same. And some things shouldn’t be discussed at work.”
    “True.” Christian drizzled some oil into the wok and turned towards him. “I don’t have a problem being seen with you. I’m not ashamed of being gay.”
    “Are you sure about that?” Hayden asked. “You say you aren’t afraid to be seen with me, but yet, you pretty much ignore me outside of your house, my house, or the fucking club.”
    “I’m not the first, last, or only person who isn’t out at work. You weren’t either.”
    “Actually, my teammates knew before Seiboweitz ever said anything,” Hayden growled. “But I—”
    “Hayden, I never thought about coming out while I was in the military before. I need to work through this on my own and in my own way. I want to see you, to date you. To the rest of the guys, we’ll just be hanging out, but we’ll know the difference. The truth.” Christian turned away from the stove and pulled him into his arms. “We’ll figure it out. I’ll figure it out. Right now, I’m not sure what’s going on between us.”
    “What is going on between us?” Hayden asked. He’d been asking the same question himself. They’d known each other for a few years with no yearning, need, or desire making itself known. And now after one weekend and a mission, Hayden was looking at more. He knew his feelings about were unlike anything he’d had with a man before. He just wasn’t sure what it
