A short time later, showered and dressed, Jarod found Ty putting bagels on the table. Jarod walked up behind Ty, wrapped his arms around him, and kissed his neck. “That feels good.” Jarod spun Tyler and moved his lips to Tyler’s mouth. The kiss started out gentle and quickly morphed into tongues fighting for dominance. Too soon the need for air overtook them both. When they pulled apart the smile on Tyler’s face caused a warmth to fill Jarod. Sometimes just looking at Tyler, Jarod found it hard to believe the man was his. Ty tilted his head. “Why you staring.” Not even thinking of lying, Jarod said, “Because sometimes I just need to look at you and pinch myself.” Ty’s smile grew. “I love you, Jarod.” “I love you, too, Ty.” This time their kiss was a confirmation of their feelings.
