Click hereHis rhythm changes, gets short and jerky. His breath speed up and he strokes my cock roughly. When he shoots, I come just after him, just from the feeling of knowing he's in me. And when he reaches up and releases the straps and tears open the Velcro, freeing my wrists, I drop down to my back beside him and I can't see or think in the cloud that takes over my brain and obliterates everything but the low, throbbing hum in my veins and the delicious burn spread all over my ass.
"I never thought this would happen to me again." Daniel's low voice reaches through my pleasant haze. It's almost like he's talking to himself. "When Ray died I thought this was all over for me. Most people never get this, and I've found it twice. Are you listening?"
"Mmm-hmm."
He whispers, and I understand. Some things just can't be said out loud. He doesn't talk this way so I know this is important. More important than any flowery declarations of love that I might spin on the pages of a novel.
"I was dead inside when I met you. I never expected to live through this investigation and I didn't really care. When Adkins pointed that gun at me, I suddenly did care; it dawned on me that I wanted to live after all. And you came and saved my life, but you also saved my heart. I want you to know that. I want to give you everything you want and need."
I swallow hard and open my eyes. He's sitting there next to me, looking down at my face and I reach up and touch his cheek, run my thumb over his damp, swollen lips. He is so fucking beautiful.
"You do."
He gives me that smile that has made me weak in the knees since the very first time I saw it, until it got inside me and became a part of me. He gets up and offers me his hand.
"Come on, I'll wash your back."
I grin and wince as I get to my feet. A deep, satisfying burn makes my ass throb. "Oh my god. I'm not gonna be able to sit down tomorrow."
"I'm sorry." He groans. "Did I take it too far?"
"No, it's okay. I like it. You were perfect." I follow him toward the bathroom, turning up the furnace as we pass the thermostat. We both like it warm when we soak in the tub. "When all the aunts and uncles and cousins are over, they'll all wonder why I'm standing up all day and only you and I will know the truth."
"Mmm, that will be hot."
I turn on the water in the big claw foot tub and we lean against the sink, kissing, as the steam rises and mists the mirror and the window over the tub that looks out onto the dark field beyond, where snow has begun to fall.

I wish it went on more at least until the casee were done and they finally got their time. Gteat story.
Second time reading this wonderfully written story. I love your attention to detail. Another favorite of mine is the exquisite Whole heart. Marvelous writing that I will visit time and time again. I try to write but I wish I had your talent.
Whenever there are no exciting stories on Literotica, I resort to going back to this story. So far, I have enjoyed reading this story, time and again.
I tip my hat to CarsonShepard for his excellent work
Actually, the entire tome Between the Bars:
Author! Author! Author!
Excellent Work!!! To say more would be "Guilding the Lily". It is PERFECT.
I too ended up wanting to skim some of the sex scenes because I was so engrossed in the story. Although so many of the sex scenes were so good too.
Wonderful story telling - when you mentioned the protagonist was a good writer because he felt with his gut what the characters were feeling - I felt like/thought you were probably talking about yourself also.
Thanks so much for sharing your work with us. It’s amazing. Bette than so many officially published works I’ve read. I haven’t looked at your bio yet, but if you have any official published works, I’d love to buy and read them. And I look forward to reading the rest of your work on this site!!
The story was so interesting and unexpected, that I was half-tempted to skip the sex scenes just to read what happens next.
Man, do I wish you'd write more stories.
I have fallen in love with your writings. I am always the last to the party. Your story has touched me in so many ways. I would love to see a follow up, or a continuation of this wonderful story. I see so much life left in these amazing characters. My mind is a swilrl with so many ideas for this couple. Thank you for the amazing story.

From beginning to end you kept the intrigue building. I'll be coming back to read this over again and again.
What a wonderful way you have with word-pictures, "carsonshepherd". Every scene is so descriptive, whether it it is with family or when Rylan and Daniel are alone together. There were so many emotional scenes which brought tears to my eyes.
The love from the family, with no judgment of gayness, was so heartwarming. It helped convince me that true love could exist between two people of the same sex.
Keep writing, 'carsonshepherd'.
I just have to tell you that I love this story. I love Daniel and Rylan, Charlotte and Paul. I did Favorite Author and Favorite Story the first time I read it. And I read it so many times since then. I feel like I know them. Amazing, wonderful, sexy, cute....everything. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Immediately after finishing this series, I wanted to read it again. Thank you for sharing yourself.
