    Summary

    Carlos keeps thinking about the other night, and so much rushes inside of him at once: longing, as he remembers their quiet conversation and the earnest wonder in TK’s eyes; desire, as he remembers the heat of TK pressed up against his side, their naked limbs tangled, their sweaty skin cooling under the ceiling fan. He never thought it’d be something he’d be into, but TK makes him want to crack his own chest open and spew every hidden want he’s ever had. TK makes him want to try it all.

    *

    Or, Carlos wants to expand his horizons. TK's happy to indulge.

    Summary

    In the early hours of a mellow May night, TK Strand wakes Carlos Reyes and proposes to him. A baffled Carlos initially starts to talk TK down – as if assuming he might not mean it. This is the story of why.

    Or, 4 times TK accidentally proposed because Carlos is spectacular with his mouth, 1 time he genuinely proposed because Carlos is spectacular with his heart.


    He’s smug when he enters him. He gets to be. No finger-stretch is quite enough for Carlos’ thickness, and TK grits his teeth at the exquisite burn – so familiar, yet always a shock. Carlos catches TK’s mouth with his as he opens wide, his head tipping back. Carlos licks at TK’s lips, his tongue, his teeth. He loves the way he can make TK’s mouth open with words or make it open with silence. He can make TK’s mouth open like he can’t open it wide enough to get all the air he needs, or to let out the moan trapped around his heart. He loves TK’s mouth so much, he just has to kiss it, even if TK’s mind has bent sideways and he doesn’t have the wherewithal to kiss him back right now. On his desk at work, Carlos keeps a picture of TK grinning beautifully. It’s his favourite thing. That smile, that mouth. He thinks about it all the time.

    Summary

    “Please,” he implored, still down on his knees for Carlos, curling his hands into loose fists atop his bare thighs, working not to pull at sparse strands of his leg hair, to be present in the simmering pressure cooker of his body. “Please, sir. Please tell me when you’re gonna let me come. I need it, sir. I fucking need it.”

    Carlos had considered him for a moment, the smirk on his face equal parts adoring and devious. He stooped down, then, touched his fingers to TK’s cheek – to the point below his cheekbone where a droplet of Carlos’s release clung to his skin – and pressed a kiss to the top of his head. Into the damp mess of TK’s hair, smearing the drop of semen absently over TK’s cheek, Carlos had whispered his answer.

    “Valentine’s Day.”

    Summary

    Six months after Gabriel Reyes’ death, TK grows concerned about Carlos’ drinking and brings him to a meeting at the Y. Afterwards, over omelets at the diner, the husbands open up to each other. TK reflects on meeting Carlos after years of addiction and self-destruction, while Carlos has continued to seek closure by uncovering two unknowns: The identity of his father’s killer, and how his father truly felt about Carlos as his son.


    A single tear slips from Carlos' eye. Years ago, there was a young man in New York City called TK Strand and he had no idea that in Austin, Texas, a stranger called Carlos Reyes was aching, yearning, pining for exactly him. He had no idea how loved he was going to be by someone he had yet to meet. He had no idea how wonderful he was as a person with or without a partner – but he was about to find out. That's why you have to keep living, Carlos thinks, so you can find out.

    Summary

    TK and Carlos are stranded at Andrea’s house during a stormy night when the Camaro breaks down in the driveway. After Andrea casually mentions making contact with Gabriel during a séance, a freaked-out TK becomes convinced that Gabriel has returned with unfinished business relating to his almost-son-in-law, and dreams and reality begin to blur. Are there ghosts, or is it always grief? What is a trick of the light or a fault in the shadows? And what would dead silence say back if it could speak?
