Prologue

Ethan threw himself down on the bank of the creek and looked up through the trees at a

sky so blue it hurt his eyes to see it. He turned to his best friend sprawled out right next

to him and whispered, “It’s finally over.”

The dark-haired young man sitting next to Ethan rolled onto his side and laid his head to

rest on his hand. “Yep.” Pale green eyes flashed with mirth, and a familiar grin hitched

up at one corner, making Ethan’s heart skitter. “Now we can do whatever the hell we

want, wherever the hell we want to do it.” He reached out, snagged the tasseled cap out

of Ethan’s hand and tossed it up in the air, catching it with barely a glance. “So, where

do you want to go first?”

“I don’t know.” Ethan hadn’t let himself think too hard beyond getting through high

school. More than that, he hadn’t let himself think that a cool guy like Aidan would still

be friends with him by graduation. Well, they’d just done that earlier today, so it might

be okay to start dreaming a little bit. “New York, California,” he kicked Aidan’s

cowboy boot with his dress shoe, “Texas.” Anything that would take them away from

the little western Maine town, Redemption--at least for a little while.

Aidan shot to his feet, hauling Ethan up with him. “Oh, so you want to learn to rope

cattle with the cowboys, huh?” He whipped his graduation gown over his head and

quickly twisted it into a rope. “Better start running, or I’m gonna give you your first

lesson right here.”

Snapping the material at Ethan like a wet towel in a gym locker room, Aidan gave a

warning that cracked across the quiet of the late afternoon.

“Shit! What the hell!” Ethan took off through the woods, the blood rushing through his

veins as the heat of Aidan reached him through the cool air, his friend hot on his trail.

“No, no, no! I changed my mind. I don’t want to rustle cattle anymore. Inbred cowboys,

hanging around after work fucking barn animals. No, we’ll go somewhere else.”

“Now you’re disrespecting where I come from!” Aidan’s deep voice rang out, catching

Ethan and sinking into his pores, as the teen’s attempts to rope him with the graduation

gown had yet to do. “Oh, you’re gonna pay for that, Ashworth. I swear I’m gonna kick

your ass.”

“You have to catch me first, jackass,” Ethan shouted, feeling high as a kite just from

being in Aidan’s presence. It had been that way for two years now, ever since Ethan

stood up for Aidan outside the guy’s job one Saturday afternoon. Aidan had given him a

grudging thank you afterward, and slowly, very slowly, they had become inseparable.

“Maybe, Ash, but when I catch you,” Aidan took a good swing at Ethan with the

graduation gown, but Ethan ducked and swerved before it looped him over the head,

“you’re gonna remember that I’m bigger than you and will kick your ass!”

Ethan kept up his pace, stuffing down a moan at the reminder of Aidan’s muscular

physique. Damn it, he did not need to be thinking shit like that about his only friend.

“Bigger makes you slower.” He threw a glance over his shoulder as he taunted Aidan,

and then wished he hadn’t. One look away from his path and his graduation gown

snagged a low tree branch, catching him up and slowing down his foot race. Ethan

yanked open the snaps and scrambled to get out of the blue gown, doing a roll around

the trunk of the massive tree to which his gown had become attached. Adrenaline

rushing, he circled away, getting to the other side, away to safety ... or so he thought.

One arm still trapped in the gown, bent around the tree at an awkward angle, Ethan’s

breath caught as Aidan captured him from the other side.

“Ah-ha!” Triumph shone in Aidan’s eyes, open in a way the young man rarely let

anyone see. Aidan pressed the twisted length of material across Ethan’s chest and

pinned him to the tree with it, his hands on either side of Ethan’s body. “Gotcha.”

His chest rising and falling deeply with every breath he took, Ethan couldn’t look away.

Never wanted to whenever they were together. “Yeah.” The sun twinkled high in the

sky, breaking through the treetops with sharply-angled slashes of bright light. But the

air around Ethan felt charged with electricity, as if Mother Nature prepared for a storm.

“You got me.”

“Yeah.” Aidan’s hold on the tree loosened and, along with the material, it fell to Ethan’s

waist. “I do, don’t I.” He let go of the wrinkled gown entirely and leaned in, entwining

his fingers with Ethan’s free hand as he did. “Shit,” Aidan muttered, “I knew you felt it

too.”

“Yeah.” The confession slipped out before Ethan could call it back.

“Yeah, I thought so.” Closing the small distance between them, Aidan cursed one more

time. “Hoped so,” he added roughly, and then sealed his lips to Ethan’s, crushing him

with a hard kiss.

Elation whipped through Ethan as everything he’d ever wanted burst to life right in

front of him, against him, in him, as Aidan squeezed their hands together and forced his

way inside Ethan’s mouth, deepening the kiss. Ethan gave into the moan he’d wanted to

let escape him just a few minutes ago and moved into Aidan’s space, rubbing himself

all up against the hard length of the other boy, drawing a mutual trembling of bodies

from the young men. Ethan finally managed to free his other arm from his gown and

immediately found Aidan’s hand, locking on tight.

Aidan broke the kiss, but stayed close. Moist breath fanned Ethan’s lips, and Aidan’s

mossy gaze didn’t waver. “More, please. Give me more,” Aidan said, his voice thick

and insistent. He shoved their linked hands in between their bodies and somehow got

them each working on the belt of the other. “I want to touch you.” With buttons quickly

undone, their zippers whispered through the afternoon breeze, and it was as if no animal

dared move around them and make a sound. “Wanna make you come.”

“Oh, fuck.” Ethan shuddered. “Me too.” They pushed Aidan’s jeans, and Ethan’s dress

pants, and then both of their underwear, down past their hips. Hard cocks sprang free,

quickly wrapped up and squished together by two pairs of eager hands. Ethan gasped,

his mouth falling open as Aidan touched his dick; a fantasy Ethan had awoken from

many a wet dream from almost the moment they met. Looking down, he watched

himself rub his hand down the velvety-hard length of Aidan’s prick, groaning when he

grazed his fingers over the tip and came away with fat beads of precum. Ethan leaked a

thick line of pre-ejaculate too, and when Aidan pressed the center of his palm against

the head of Ethan’s penis, Ethan almost came right then. This was what he had wanted

since spotting Aidan in the parking lot of their school sophomore year, when all of his

vague, abstract thoughts about kissing other boys coalesced and focused on one real

person: Aidan.

Ethan entwined his fingers with Aidan’s around their cocks, jerking each other off in

tandem with a rough handling, sometimes enough to make both of them wince. Ethan

didn’t dare back off or pull away though, not for one second. Gritting his teeth against

the insane pleasure of another boy touching him, of this boy touching him, Ethan

glanced up at the hard lines of Aidan’s face that at eighteen had already become

someone who looked and felt like a man. Ethan’s heart lurched dangerously, and he had

no power or ability to censor himself. “I love you, Aidan,” he blurted, his voice husky

with emotion. “Wanna be with you forever.”

Aidan’s eyes seemed to sharpen and clear, and they pierced right through to Ethan’s

soul. He strung a line of familiar foul words together and shook his head. “Fuck, I love

you too, man.” Then he slammed Ethan back into the tree with his weight and fused

their mouths together in a violent kiss. He bit at Ethan’s lips, and at the same time

yanked their hands with tight drags up and down their lined-up cocks. “Together.” He

made the one word sound like a command. “You and me.” Their hands turned frantic

around their dicks, and neither man could keep his hips from pumping for more.

Ethan looked right into Aidan’s eyes, somehow clear in the blur of closeness.

“Forever.”

Aidan nodded, his lips scraping roughly over Ethan’s. “Forever.”

Ethan’s entire body jerked and seized, and just like that, he started coming, shooting

seed against Aidan with a thick film of cum. As soon as the first jet of liquid hit Aidan’s

skin, Aidan spurted too, hitting Ethan with the repeated, warm splashes of his orgasm.

Ethan reveled in the feel of it, his balls already tingling and recharging to go at it again,

as he imaged what it might be like to make Aidan come using his mouth ... or

something else. Ethan shivered just thinking about it.

Goddamnit, he was in love. Even better, the coolest guy in the whole fucking world

loved him back. Ethan didn’t think he could get any luckier than that.

And then, he did.

“I wasn’t kidding all this time, you know,” Aidan began. He let up his lock hold on

Ethan’s hand and released their dicks. He stuffed his member back in his underwear and

jeans--God, Ethan loved that Aidan wore jeans to graduation--but he didn’t zip or snap

himself closed.

Ethan quickly did the same. “K-kidding about what?” Heat suffused Ethan’s cheeks at

his fumbling.

Aidan snatched his gown off the ground and unhooked Ethan’s from the tree bark.

Tossing them over his shoulder, he started back in the direction from which they had

come. “About traveling with you for a few years,” he said. Ethan hurried to Aidan’s

side and kept up with the taller boy’s pace. “We can take everything we’ve saved,” they

both worked steady jobs through high school, “and just get the hell out for a little

while.” He glanced at Ethan out of the corner of his eye. “What do you think?”

Ethan didn’t think his feet touched the ground. “I think,” he pulled his shirt off over his

head, smiling with new power when Aidan’s focus openly fell to his bare chest, “we

take a swim in the creek and make a plan!” He tackled Aidan around the waist. To the

shouts and protests of the other young man, Ethan sent them both tumbling into the

frigid water.

* * * *

Ethan couldn’t keep the smile off his face the next morning as he almost skipped up the

front porch to Aidan’s house and gave a sharp, happy rap to the red painted front door.

Aidan’s younger brother Dev answered his knock.

“Oh, hey,” Dev said, his voice cracking well beyond that of a normal twelve-year-old

adolescent.

“Hey.” Ethan decided to overlook the moisture brimming in Dev’s eyes. He was

probably in trouble, and the kid wouldn’t want an older boy noticing and commenting.

“Can I come in? I’m here to see Aidan.”

“You won’t find him here.”

“What?” Icy fingers ran down Ethan’s back. He stooped down, getting a better look at

the tears in Devlin’s eyes. “What’s the matter? What’s going on?”

Devlin’s voice broke pitifully, but he shared.

With only a note left on the kitchen table that said he had to leave and not to worry

about him or try to find him, Aidan was gone.
