Free In Case of Death (The Adventures of Gabriel Celtic Book 3) by J.T. Lewis

blade pulling sensually at the skin…so close to cutting and drawing blood, and yet if done right…
    Of course this was even truer around his genitals. He would always save that pleasure for last. Usually he had used up all of the hot water by that point, but the cold water pounding his skin actually added to the sensual climax as he shaved off the last patch of hair.
    His erection was pushing at his waistband by the time he pulled into the parking lot of his apartment. Adding a sense of urgency to get into the house, Hector actually giggled to himself as he exited the car.
    “Hold on my sweet,” he spoke to the engorged appendage, “Soon enough we will see what you have in you today.”
    Hector literally ran up the sidewalk as he rushed to his door, shedding his clothes the second he entered.
    He had stirred himself up good this time, he thought to himself with a smile. He wasn’t sure at this point if he could even make it to the shower! 
     
     
     
    Chapter 22
    September 17, 1999
     
    I jumped up off of a couch in a darkened room and walked over to the dying fire in the hearth. There was still warmth coming off of the glowing embers that I felt on my stomach. I realized that my shirt is undone, as well as the button of my pants.
    Where was I?
    “Gabe? What’s wrong?”
    I turned back to the couch and glimpsed May pulling herself up off of the pillow she had been laying on. She was a younger version of May, whose clothing looked as disheveled as mine. My eyes locked for a few moments on her small luscious breasts peaking out of the unbuttoned shirt.
    God she looked good!
    I had finally recognized the time and the place. May’s apartment in college was in a beautiful old house just off of the edge of campus. She seldom used the fireplace, reserving it only for special occasions. This had indeed been one of those occasions, or at least it was supposed to be.
    “Nothing,” I mumbled as I pulled my eyes back to the fire. We were both silent for a few moments as I mulled over what an idiot I must be.
    This was to be the night!
    The night we took our relationship to the next level!
    We had been friends since we were brought onto this earth. We loved each other too, a deep abiding love unlike any we had ever experienced with another. To top off the package, I found her body intoxicating. It was the perfect time to become a couple, to experience the oneness that we both knew would happen.
    Or was it?
    “I don’t know,” I finally sighed, “I think I’m an idiot.”
    Turning, I walked back to the couch and kneeled in front of her.
    She was so beautiful.
    “You are anything but an idiot Gabe,” May said as she stroked the side of my face. “What’s really wrong?”
    “I don’t know!” I repeated in frustration, “I love you more than anything, you know that. And there is nothing I would rather do right now than explore every inch of your body. It’s just…”
    May leaned forward and gently held my face in her hands as her blue eyes sought out mine. “Tell me what’s wrong, Gabe.”
    “My heart is beating out of my chest,” I started, “I love you so much! And my body’s reaction to yours could be described as monumental.”
    May smiled at that. “Believe me Gabe, you are not alone.”
    She leaned forward and kissed me tenderly. Pulling away, she continued to look into my eyes.
    “But…”
    “But my brain is stopping me,” I blurted out as I leaned back a little more.
    May’s pale blue eyes never waivered as they took me into her soul. I thought they would turn mad or sad, but they just continued their apparent soul seeking stare. We stayed like that for what seemed like minutes before May finally leaned back into the couch with a sigh.
    “I know.”
    “You know?” I wasn’t sure I understood.
    May nodded, her eyes still held fast to mine.
    “I know Gabe, I felt it too. But I just assumed it was something we could work through together. I can’t explain it exactly, but it felt like a
