Love is Always Write Anthology Volume 9

his spunk shot out and splattered on his belly. Jase moaned and buried himself deep, wrapping his arms around Sean as he cried out Sean's name, and Sean felt a surge of wet heat as Jase came inside him.
    Jase pulled out, and wrapped his arms around Sean crushing his head to Sean's chest. They lay there on the rumpled sheets, limbs entwined, gasping for breath. It was Jase who caught his breath first, and asked, "You okay Tag? Are you hurt?"
    Sean blinked. He took a deep breath and took stock. He was sore, and he could tell that was probably going to get worse later. His legs felt like jello, which was a little weird. But he felt... whole. "I'm fine," he said, "way better than fine, actually." He kissed Jase on the nose and grinned. Jase grinned and kissed him back. When Sean pulled him in tight and deepened the kiss, that was when they heard Cody cry over the baby monitor. They both pulled back, looked at each other, and smiled wryly.
    "Cody," they both said simultaneously. Jase kissed him once on the forehead and got up.
    "I'll be right back." Jase whispered. Sean heard water running in the bathroom, and the sounds of hasty cleanup. Moments later, Jase came back with a warm washcloth and handed it to Sean. "Get cleaned up, Baby." He retrieved his pants from the floor, shucked them on, and grabbed his glasses off the nightstand as Sean started wiping up the cum that was smeared all over his belly. "I wish I could take care of you right now and get you cleaned up, but it looks like you're going to have to do that while I go get Cody." Jase said as he leaned in and kissed Sean again. He rested his forehead against Sean's for a moment and closed his eyes. He breathed in and out, and Sean closed his eyes too, just feeling Jase, and blocking out everything else. Then Jase moved, his lips brushing Sean's one more time as he stood up. "Take your time Baby." Jase murmured. "Go hop in the shower. I got this."
    "Thanks Jase." Love you, he thought.
    "Oh and Baby?"
    "Yeah?" He loved it when Jase called him Baby. He was such a goner. His heart swelled.
    "Put a shirt on when you come out, kay? I can't promise I'll be able to control myself around Cody if your tattoos are showing." Sean laughed and chucked his pillow at Jase, and Jase dodged and ducked out the door.
    EPILOGUE
    The cherry blossoms were in bloom in D.C. and the air was smelled sweet. Jase had unexpectedly gotten out of rehearsal a couple hours early. The rest of the cast was running over to a nearby bar to grab a few beers, but he was heading home to see his family. He hopped in his car and headed home. As he sat in traffic, he marveled at the changes in his life over the last nine months.
    After their first time together, Sean and Jase had one week of perfect bliss, before Jase had needed to return to Annandale to start rehearsals for a show he'd been cast in at Arena Stage. In the end, since Sean was off from teaching for another month, Sean and Cody came with him to Annandale, and just never left. It made the most sense for everyone anyway, since Jase owned his house, and Sean and Lisa's place was a rental. They officially moved Sean and Cody out of the rental at the end of July before Sean had to start his Quince High Marching Band rehearsals. Sean's commute to Gaithersburg wasn't much worse from Annandale than it had been from Frederick, better most of the time, since he was going against traffic both ways.
    For Jase and Sean, the transition from friends to lovers, had been as easy as breathing. They just fit. It didn't take Jase long to realize that like Sean, he had probably been in love with his best friend for quite a long while. Problems that came up, they worked through. The fact that they were spending their nights having mind blowing sex, well, it made them both too tired to stress about the little things anyway.
    There were some big things that they did stress about though. It was touch and go with Lisa for a while, but she did come and take the rest of her stuff back to New York at the end of July. When she was back they met with Sean's lawyer, and she signed the agreement giving Sean full custody and guardianship of Cody. They petitioned the courts in Virginia, and Sean was granted full temporary custody at the initial hearing. They went to court again in six months to make everything official, and that was pretty much it. Cody was Sean's.
    Telling his family and Lisa's about Jase had been unpleasant. Not only had Lisa left Sean and Cody, but he was
