Bang!

Isaac jumped once again.

This time, the gunshot was right outside the door.

Well, if these were his final moments, he wanted them to be filled with the memory of him and Jared, lying in bed that first morning, cuddling and smiling into each other’s faces.

Yes. That was how people were meant to die. With loving memories of their most cherished moments filling their mind.

“I love you, Jared,” Isaac whispered to himself, eyes clenching shut at the sound of the door bursting open.

“Isaac!”

Isaac’s heart stopped when he heard the sweetest voice ever.

His eyes popped open to the sight of Jared standing in the doorway, assault rifle in hand, face smeared with blood, and a concerned look on his face.

“Jared!” Isaac shouted. Relief, love, and excitement all flooded his body, each fighting for dominance of his brain and heart.

“Oh my God,” Jared gasped, eyes no doubt spotting the ropes tying his hands together.

Or perhaps Jared noticed the burn marks on his skin. Isaac remembered he was still sitting shirtless in his brother’s office.

Jared ran to where Isaac sat, huddled on the floor, shaking and bleeding from where the ropes dug into his flesh.

“What did they do to you?” Jared asked, whipping out a switchblade from inside his tactical suit and quickly slicing through the ropes that bound him.

Isaac’s pulse was racing. He couldn’t believe that Jared was here! Rescuing him like a knight in shining armor. Or, in Jared’s case, a hot as fuck, ex-army grunt who smelled like heaven and fucked like a porn star.

This was every gay boy’s fantasy—being rescued by a strong and sexy man who had nothing but love and adoration in his eyes. How had he gotten so lucky?

God,when he got Jared back home, he was going to ride Jared’s dick till the man couldn’t see straight.

Finally, the ropes snapped against the edge of the blade, and Isaac lunged into Jared’s open arms.

A burst of pain shot through his body. “Ow! Fuck,” Isaac winced as he wrapped his arms around Jared and squeezed him as tight as his body would allow.

Jared tried to pull back, but Isaac held tight.

“Shit, sorry. Didn’t mean to squeeze you so hard.”

“Don’t ever apologize for hugging me. I don’t care how much my body hurts right now. I’m never letting you go again. I’m so happy to see you,” Isaac whispered as he fought through the pain.

This was his new spot in life. He now resided in Jared’s arms. No one was going to tell him otherwise.

Laughing into Isaac’s ear, Jared squeezed back–gently, of course.

“I’ve missed you too, babe. I’ve been so worried. I thought I’d never see you again. I’m never letting you out of my sight.”

Hearing his declaration, Isaac’s heart leaped. He turned his head, then leaned in to kiss Jared.

Their kiss was electric. Sparks flew, heaven’s parted, and the air was sucked out of the room. He felt like he’d been walking in the desert for days, and Jared was a cold glass of water.

No matter how hard they tried, they just couldn’t get enough of each other.

Jared moaned into Isaac’s mouth as their kissing went from “classic movie kiss” to “pornographic” in less than two seconds.

The world fell away from Isaac as his mind and body merged with Jared’s. His kiss, his touch, and every fiber of Jared’s being brought Isaac’s body closer to orgasm. Isaac ignored the burning pain throughout his body. Feeling this man’s lips against his was well worth the agony.
