gone.”
    “But the desire isn’t.”
    “No. It isn’t.” Ren turned to him then, his eyes earnest.
“You ask what I want. I want to know . The question of what might be
tears at me. I want the questions to be gone. I want to know the answers.”
    “You want to know if you’re gay.”
    Ren’s pained expression said it all. Not knowing was eating
him up.
    Adam reached up to push strands of golden hair back from
Renatus’ face. The other man’s eyes drifted closed and he shivered under Adam’s
fingertips. The reaction was so slight Adam wasn’t sure if he imagined the fine
tremor.
    He stroked one finger over the edge of Ren’s ear. A second,
larger shudder rippled through Ren and he turned his face ever so slightly into
Adam’s palm.
    In that moment, it was all the answer Adam needed.

Chapter Four
     
    The kiss was featherlight, a tentative brush, a cautious
offer. Adam barely breathed, waiting for Ren to make his decision. More or less?
Stop or continue? The pounding of his heart measured time as he waited for a
reaction, any reaction.
    Ren’s breath released in a rush, a hot wave whooshing across
Adam’s cheek. The lips under his moved, and Ren was kissing him. Sensation
flowed like warm honey, rich and golden, from Ren’s mouth into his. It
electrified every nerve in his body.
    Warm and sensual need flooded Adam. He ran the tip of his
tongue over the curve of Ren’s lower lip. A teasing stroke, meant to entice,
but it made the man in his arms shudder and gasp. Ren’s mouth opened and Adam
took full advantage. The kiss deepened and Adam was helpless to pull back as
Ren melted.
    He leaned in, pushing Ren down until they lay on the couch,
Ren stretched out under him. Adam shifted, putting his weight on his elbows. He
moved slowly, never breaking the kiss as he moved over Ren and let his weight
settle slowly over his would-be lover. He aligned their hips and let his groin
ease down.
    Ren was hard.
    His cock singed Adam through the thickness of two layers of
denim. It pressed against him until the zipper of his jeans bit into his
over-sensitized flesh.
    Under him, Renatus arched, pushing their cocks together even
harder. Ren tore his mouth away from Adam’s with a harsh groan. Reluctant to
allow even that little bit of space, Adam buried his face in the curve of Ren’s
neck to taste the skin there. He tasted…
    Divine.
    There was no other word for it. His flavor was a mix of man
and something else, something beyond words.
    Ren groaned again. The harsh cry rumbled through his chest
to Adam’s, where it spawned an answering vibration. Adam rocked against him,
unable to hold back anymore. He needed it, the drag of fabric, the pressure of
their cocks, the sweet friction of flesh against flesh.
    Ren shifted under him and Adam experienced a moment of
panic. No, not yet, don’t push me away yet. But then Ren’s hands found
his hips, held them tight together as he began his own rocking motion.
    The surrender was sweeter than anything Adam had ever
experienced. He found Ren’s mouth, taking it with another blazing kiss, this
one even hotter, more desperate than the one before. Their tongues met, tangled
and the movement of their bodies became frantic.
    Then Ren stiffened.
    Adam barely had time to register the withdrawal before finding
himself alone on the couch, his mind still so muddled with lust he couldn’t say
how or when Ren managed to get out from beneath him.
    Squeezing his eyes shut tight, Adam pressed his head against
the soft leather of the couch and waited for the front door to slam shut. Long
moments passed and he heard nothing but his own harsh breathing.
    Finally, he pushed himself upright. At first he thought he
was alone, but then a small sound caught his attention.
    Ren sat in the entryway, his back pressed tight against the
wall. His face filled with guilt and looked like he was poised on the edge of
flight.
    “I didn’t think you’d still be here,” Adam said carefully,
afraid the
