“He always respected you,” Joshua said softly. “Your place in my life.”
Neil seemed to struggle with something for a moment, and Alice had to resist the urge to reach out and take his hand. She knew he was pushing down his possessiveness, his urge to win, to be the only one Joshua ever wanted or needed, and she knew it was vital that he do so. She also saw the exact moment he conquered himself.
“And now it’s my turn to respect him. Tell my mom how you met Lee. She’d like to hear about him.” Neil gazed at Joshua warmly and added, “I would too.”
Joshua eyes filled, and he leaned over to press a kiss to Neil’s lips. Then he blinked his tears away. Neil gave a small smile, and Joshua’s eyes glowed right back at him.
Alice leaned back in her seat, her throat tight, and she felt so damnproud.
She didn’t know how, but Neil had done it. He’d found Joshua again, won his heart, and he was going to be sogoodat this. She just knew he would. He was good at everything he really wanted to be good at, and he loved harder than anyone else she’d ever known.
It was going to be okay. It was wild, unbelievable, and no one would ever believe her if she told them the story, but watching Joshua and Neil together, she knew without a doubt that love never dies.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Sweaty and sticky,with Joshua’s come all over his chest, Neil ran his hands over Joshua’s thighs and up to his nipples, pinching gently. Joshua shuddered and clenched on Neil’s cock, and Neil smiled, loving the view of Joshua riding him, flushed and shaking after his orgasm.
“Alice loved you,” Neil said.
Joshua collapsed on him, pressing his face against Neil’s neck. “Don’t talk about your mother right now.”
Neil chuckled. He didn’t really expect Joshua to understand how he felt about Alice. Despite being the best person Neil had ever met, aside from maybe Joshua himself, he’d never been able to really feel the appropriate mother-son connection. He loved her, but mentioning her at a time like this felt more like bringing up a close friend. Now, his first mother? Sharon Russell? He’d never want to think about her during sex. That would just be disgusting.
They’d returned to Neil’s apartment after their lunch with Alice, ostensibly to collect some clothes and things for Neil, but they’d ended up having a delicious, hour-long love-making session amidst the towers of books on reincarnation.
“God, Neil,” Joshua whimpered. “Making love with you is so good.”
Neil hid his smirk in Joshua’s hair and then pressed a kiss to the crown of Joshua’s head. “I’ll tell you a little secret.”
Joshua lifted up to see Neil’s face. “What?”
“Last time around? I wasn’t this big. I mean, I had a good cock, but this one is a humdinger.”
Joshua sputtered. “Are you telling me you’re exactly the sameexcept your cock is bigger?”
“What? You don’t believe me?”
Joshua laughed. “Neil, I used to feel that thing through your pants when we made out on the sofa in your apartment. It was terrifying. Why do you think I was so scared to have sex with you?”
Neil scrunched his face. “Uh, because you were all tied up over your parents’ conservative religious beliefs?”
Joshua laughed again. “Well, there was that, too. But the size of your cock wasn’t exactly reassuring.”
“Really?”
Joshua pinched him and then kissed his mouth. “Really.”
Neil thrust up into Joshua slowly, feeling his come squelch out of Joshua’s ass and slide down over Neil’s balls. “Feel that?” he asked.
“You know I do,” Joshua murmured, his breath coming in soft gasps as he started to ride again.
Neil moaned and settled back, enjoying the view. He loved the feel of his cock, raw and slick with his own come, in Joshua’s tight ass.
They’d stopped using condoms after only a few days. Joshua had basically begged for it, wanting to feel Neil’s come in his ass, and Neil had been so madly turned on just by hearing Joshua say those words that he’d agreed as soon as they could be certain it was safe.
The tests for STDs no longer took the time they had years ago in his first life. Neil was profoundly grateful for that as they’d hustled over to the health clinic, both of them twisted up with lust and urgency, and both of them walking out with clean bills of health. They hadn’t even made it to Joshua’s bed at the hotel, before they’d stripped each other and fucked raw and wild on the floor just inside the door of the room. Both of them had been deliriously turned on by the intimate sensation of skin on skin.
Neil loved everything about fucking Joshua raw. He loved the sweet push inside and the sensation of Joshua’s velvet-soft insides against the tight, engorged flesh of his cock. He loved how he could come in Joshua and not stop to change his condom, just fuck on through the over-stimulation, and watch Joshua go wild at the squelching noises as the come worked its way out.
