I thought he must be joking, then I saw the real concern in his eyes.

"Jesus, Joe," I said, as I stroked his hair. "If it'd been any better, you would've had to send for the paramedics to revive me."

He smiled and I saw the relief flicker over his face, though he tried to hide it by reaching down and grabbing the covers and pulling them over us. He settled back down in my arms and sighed.

I nuzzled his neck and took a deep breath, taking in the pungent aroma of sweat and sex that emanated from Joe. And underneath it all was the aroma of the man I'd been dreaming of. Essence of Joe, if I could figure out a way to bottle it, I'd make a fortune.

"I thought when you made me cum, that it was the ultimate experience of my life," he murmured. "But watching you as you came, seeing what I was doing to you..." He paused, then looked into my eyes. "That was something else again. I never knew it would be this good."

I smiled. "What? Gay sex?"

Joe shook his head slowly. "No. Sex with the person you truly love."

He sighed again, then yawned and closed his eyes. I watched as his breathing slowed and his muscles relaxed. And instead of moving away, as so many lovers of mine had done in the past when sleep had claimed them and they didn't need to pretend any more that they cared, he moved closer and draped his arm around my back.

This had started out as such a shitty day. Hell, the whole year had been one long string of calamities. I'd fought back, though - harder than I'd known I could. And now, here lay Joe - my Joe. It was hard for me to take in; hard to even believe it was real. But he was real and he was here. I vowed to myself that I'd do whatever it took to keep it that way, forever.

To be continued...

Author's note: Thanks again to Marc for his extraordinary efforts to edit my very rough copy. Also a big kiss to Keith Mystery who reminded me that even romantic sex has its funny side. And a big thank you to all of you who continue to write me and let me know that you care about this story.

Because Joe took so much time, even knowing early on he was bi, he allowed the man of his dreams to suffer with unrequited misery for 4 yrs, have many meaningless sex partners, give his ass up to a “heartless bastard,” be raped/tortured/ nearly killed by a psychopath, recover alone in heartache, and engage in a pathetic 3-way with friends. Wonder how that feels when Joe looks at it that way? Doesn’t look much like true love in that light.

Very happy to finally have Joe and Mike together as a loving couple. And there lovemaking was sweet, funny, and also hot. But there were parts where I wanted to strangle Joe. He knew he was gay from early on and even jacked off with a buddy at camp (which totally counts)! But he firmly chose not to be gay. I get that - I really do. But when he met Mike, fell for him, realized his feelings, took him for granted, got jealous of Cam, rescued him from Elliot, left Betsy for him - how could he still not choose him? That’s where the story breaks down. I get not wanting to be gay, but when you’re in deep love with a man, can’t follow thru on marrying your dream girl, literally saving your man’s life, and everyone you know thinks you’re gay anyway, how can you just leave - and then stay away “confused” for nearly half a year? Nonsense. This love story became absurd at that point. Joe’s lies literally consumed every bit of him. Amazing that all of that just switched off and he came home…

Great story

I have read this so many times. The thing is I *believe* in the characters. I think I'd probably like Joe more overall. Really well written and the people described seem so real.
