Love is Always Write Anthology Volume 3

when my bone is deep inside you." Daren couldn't resist the joke. After all, it wasn't every day a man's dreams came true.
    A faint flush stained Taylor's sculptured cheekbones. Daren noted the color and realized they really did need to have a little chat before things progressed any further. He tightened his arms around Taylor, loving the solid feel of that tall body against his.
    "You know, love is important and us finding each other is a miracle in a world filled with divorce and bad relationships," he began carefully. "But there's more to consider if we're going to be together, Taylor. Does this mean you're coming out? Or are you going to hide us from the world? Because God knows I'd do that for you, but I don't want to."
    Taylor shook his head, his expression solemn. "I don't want to hide anything anymore. I can't be in the closet any longer. Not for Stone Sutton, not for my dad, not for anything. I'm almost thirty years old, and I've never been truly happy. I deserve this. I deserve you, Dare."
    The vehemence in Taylor's words convinced Daren that the man wasn't going to bolt back into the closet the moment one of his fans discovered he wasn't straight. And written on his handsome face was a determination Daren had never seen before. No matter how hard it would be to come out to the world, Taylor Sutton-Jones wasn't about to return to his old life of deception.
    Daren stroked his hands up Taylor's back, one palm dipping beneath the blanket to touch warm flesh. Taylor hissed in a breath and his muscles quivered.
    "Then, there's only one other thing we need to discuss, baby," he murmured, watching Taylor's every movement and expression. "How much do you know about being with a man? How experienced are you?"
    The flush on Taylor's face deepened, but he didn't seem uncomfortable with the question to Daren's immense relief. He didn't want to put a foot wrong with Taylor and that meant knowing exactly what Taylor had done or not done in the past.
    "I fooled around in college," he said in a low voice. "A lot of making out and rubbing up against each another. Hand jobs, some oral sex, nothing uh, anal."
    Oh, fuck yeah . Taylor's ass was cherry. Daren's cock swelled at the thought of being the only man ever to get inside Taylor Sutton. But again, he told his libido to calm the eff down. There was more he needed to know.
    "So you want me to fuck you." It wasn't precisely a question because Daren thought he knew the answer, but he wanted Taylor to say it. Say it and accept that it would happen. Possibly as soon as tonight.
    Taylor's hands came up and his palms cupped Daren's cheeks. Shivers chased their way down Daren's spine. He'd never known his face to be an erogenous zone before. God, in about two heartbeats he would be falling into Taylor arms, letting the other man do whatever he wanted to him. The calloused fingers he'd always wanted to touch him stroked his skin almost reverently.
    "Yes. I want you to fuck me, but I want to fuck you too," Taylor murmured. "It's all I dream about. Being inside you. You being inside me. Our fingers threaded together as our hips move…"
    Daren moaned. He couldn't help himself. Taylor's words brought his dreams to life. And the visual inside his head was beyond hot. Shaking with lust, he rose to his feet, pulling Taylor upright.
    "Upstairs. Now. Anything else we have to say to one another can be done in the comfort of my bed."
    Taylor's smile was slow and sensual and it turned Daren's guts to mush. "Aren't you moving a little fast? We've only kissed once. You'll think I'm easy," he teased.
    A bark of laughter escaped Daren as he tugged Taylor along behind him, headed for the stairs. "Fast? For five years, I've been whacking off to visions of you. That's not fast. That's so slow it makes Chinese water torture seem like a game of Chutes and Ladders."
    "Chutes and Ladders sounds like a sex game to me."
    Daren turned and stared at Taylor in wonder. "Where have you been hiding this sexy side? I always thought you were dark and brooding and figured it for a musician thing. Now, I'm discovering you're a smart-mouthed tease who can't stop smiling at me."
    Taylor shoved Daren against the stair rail and rubbed his hips against Daren's. "I was dark and brooding because I wanted you and thought I couldn't have you. Do you know how fucking jealous I was of Stone? It's my fault he broke up with you. I pushed him so hard to make the band work, he had no time for you. I did it deliberately because I
