A few hours after dusk, Tommy woke up, and Adam was not in his arms. He sat up in bed and found Adam, clean and dressed, sitting in a nearby chair, and he had been watching Tommy sleep. He stared at the man, wondering the time and what was going on.
Adam left his seat and walked over to sit by Tommy, who immediately fell into his arms as if to prevent him from going. Adam wrapped his arms around him and kissed his neck. Then he broke the silence. "I did not want to leave in secret again. I wanted to tell you that I would return to you as soon as possible and...I love you."
Tommy melted but quickly recovered, pulling back and suggesting, "You haven't eaten yet. We should have dinner before you go."
Adam's eyes displayed sympathy at Tommy's reluctance to give him up to the night. "I cannot delay any more. I must go shortly so you will have to dine without me."
Tommy frowned and said in a small voice, "I'm not hungry."
"Nonsense. You have not eaten since breakfast, and I am sure to have worked your appetite. I insist you clean up and eat something, or I will blame myself if you become ill."
Tommy wanted to argue but saw no point. How could he deny this beautiful man? "Very well," he conceded. "But I want a kiss goodbye."
This, Adam had time to grant. He met Tommy's lips with his own and gently pushed him down to the pillow. He could feel the boy's fingers through his hair and fought with himself to pull away after a nice, long kiss. Tommy, not satisfied, grabbed his head and pulled him down again. But Adam stopped him after a few more passionate moments, sitting up out of Tommy's reach before the boy could cause his body to respond anymore than it had.
They stared at each other, Adam caressing the boy's soft cheek. Tommy's longing expression turned into one of complete awe, as he witnessed for the first time, a loving smile cross Adam's face. Oh, how it took his breath away! This stoic, raven haired beauty had become even more heavenly than Tommy could have imagined. He cursed inwardly even more that he would momentarily have to let this gorgeous man go. But he lay stunned on his pillow, looking into Adam's eyes and watching him plant a kiss on both Tommy's hands. Then Adam stood up from the bed and said, "I love you, Thomas."
"I-I love you, too," Tommy breathed out, a smile now forming on his own face. He watched his lover turn and leave the lamp lit room. Tommy was motionless as he heard Adam's footsteps down the hall and staircase, through the foyer and out of the front door. Only then did he move, turning on his side and pulling Adam's pillow to him.
Work fast, my love, Tommy willed. Be careful and quick and as soon as you complete the task I dare not think of...come back to me and love me once again.
