CHAPTER 11

NOW this is focus, Ash hummed in the back of his mind as he coaxed water vapor to coalesce into big, fat droplets ten feet above Cooper’s head. Just a few at first, but since Cooper didn’t seem to mind, Ash asked for a bit more – and a lot more still.

A downpour ensued. Ash was quietly impressed with himself.

Cooper moved to the side.

Nice try... I wasn’t born yesterday. Ash had seldom felt this self-satisfied. Not only did Cooper call him out and challenge him to produce the goods or shut up, he had indirectly accused him of being some kind of a two-penny fraud. And who was getting soaked now?

He moved the anomaly as easily as Cooper moved to escape it. But wait... he could do even better. Ash anchored the rain-space to Cooper directly. He knew Cooper would make a run for it. He just knew it.

And Cooper did – right into his arms.

“Very good!” he crowed. Points for Cooper, but Ash had no intention of stopping the onslaught of this soft, delicious rain. “Yes, good effort!”

Their eyes met, color indistinguishable in the dark but there was no mistaking Cooper’s determined intensity.

Rain trickled down Cooper’s forehead. Streetlights from far away reflected in the droplets, which were soon diverted by strong eyebrows. Cooper’s straight nose was wet, with cheekbones sheeting with the unrelenting rain.

His mouth quirked in an unexpected smile right before Cooper cupped the back of his head in his hand, pulled him in, and kissed him.

Ash gasped. Unexpected, sweet, hard and soft at the same time. His concentration wavered, and the torrential downpour eased into a fine spring shower.

Cooper made a noise against the side of his mouth, much like laughter, and with that laughter came a wave of sheer, crushing power. Like a sapling pressed by a rock slide, Ash groaned, widened his stance, and focused. Just let it rain.

And rain it did. The evening sky darkened to an ominous black, the river boiled with the chop of an unexpected wind, and Ash felt power flow through him as though he had an endless supply.

The scent of ozone filled the sky as his tongue slid against Cooper’s.

He had not meant to do that.

Why had... oh, oh but Cooper was all enticing taste and power and a hard shaft in wet jeans that pressed into his belly.

Ash straddled Cooper’s leg and pressed his own arousal into him, wet fabric and rain and prior history notwithstanding. This was different. Unique, and powerful, and so, so right.

That heavy rock-slide feeling, it bent him, broke him. Ash was on the ground now, star-fished on the old concrete dock, warm and... and still wet, but if he wasn’t feeling the rainstorm all over his body, it was because Cooper was sprawled right on top of him.

Thigh to thigh, groin to groin, chest to chest.

Ash wanted to speak but couldn’t.

He wanted to move, but was pinned by more than just Cooper’s body alone.

Cooper moved against him, and it was as though
