Chapter 8

“Helping Hand”

“What do you want to do today?” Max lay propped against the headboard of the bed, pillows tucked behind him. Horatio’s back rested against his chest, his left leg wrapped around Max’s right leg. The sheet had been kicked off during their morning activities and they left it hanging off the foot of the bed, choosing to lay in the open, naked and without inhibition.

Horatio smiled and traced his fingertips along the back of Max’s hand as the man’s arm draped over his shoulder and he caressed Horatio’s chest. “Does it have to involve us leaving the bed?” he murmured and shifted his head on Max’s shoulder¸ turning to look at him. “Because I don’t think I’m ready for that just yet.”

Kissing him softly, Max chuckled. “Me neither.”

Horatio turned onto his side and cuddled up closer to Max. He laid his head in the crook of his shoulder and traced patterns on the man’s chest. His skin remained heated and damp from their recent lovemaking. “Is this for real, Max?” he whispered. “Is it really happening? Us…together?”

“It is,” Max kissed his hair and tightened his arm around him.

“How many times have I asked that since last night?” Horatio asked quietly, smiling.

“Hmm,” Max kissed his head again. “I lost count around midnight.”

“Sorry,” Horatio laughed softly. “It just feels…too good to be true. I keep wondering if I finally lost my mind and just got locked in my own fantasy, convincing myself it’s for real.”

“You always were the one with the imagination,” Max surmised.

Horatio lifted his head and looked at Max. “I never stopped imagining us together.”

“Well,” Max slid his fingers through Horatio’s hair and kissed his lips. “Maybe there is something to the power of positive thinking.”

“Maybe so.” Horatio leaned into the kiss and eased over on top of Max, shoving his hands through his hair and deepening their kiss.

“Mmm,” Max moaned and rubbed his hands down Horatio’s back then squeezed his ass. “You know what?” Max murmured when their lips parted.

“Hmm?” Horatio’s mouth drifted to Max’s neck and began laying kisses on his skin.

“You have the sexiest ass ever.” Max squeezed his ass again for emphasis.

Horatio smiled and kissed Max’s ear. “Even sexier than yours?”

“Tons sexier.”

“I might argue that point,” Horatio whispered and flattened his hands on Max’s chest and pushed himself down his body a fraction, kissing the hollow of Max’s throat. The man was already hard again, his cock rubbing firmly against Horatio’s own erection. It was nice to know they weren’t so old that they had become one-hit wonders. They could still get it up in record time.

“How about you argue a different point?” Max smirked and bumped his hips against Horatio.

Horatio laughed and raised his head. Max gazed at him, eyes sparkling with love and amusement. Despite the years, right here and now – he looked exactly the same as he had twenty years ago. In some ways, it seemed as if those years had passed in the blink of an eye. As if
