Well, I thought I was pretty close to done, and then I had a beta done...

Here's a little snipppet. (I should explain that they are on a beach)


“I love you, Bodie.”

It was the first time either of them had said it out loud. Ray’s eyes were overly bright.

Bodie reached up to caress the damaged cheek. “And I you, Raymond.”

Ray smiled gently and pressed his lips to Bodie’s. The kiss was long and deep, both men aroused.

“Oi! Not here, you daft sod. Not again. You’ve already lived out your “From Here to Eternity” fantasy and I’ve still got sand in me nethers.“

He kissed Ray again.

“This time, if you want me, it will have to be in that big old bed back at the cabin.”

“Ah, I’d forgotten about your lordship’s delicate....”

“Doyle!”

Ray cackled as he stood up. He held out a hand.

“C’mon then. Let’s get your charming self ready for bed.”
