Now and Forever Read online

  “Babe.”

  Connor’s voice next to Harley’s ear startled him out of his reverie. He could feel blood rushing up his neck and cheeks. He had acted like a horrible boyfriend to Connor, who had been patient with him. Even now, the angel was smiling at him in spite of the fact that he had been snapping at his poor boyfriend left and right over stupid little things for a week now.

  “Hey, what’s up?”

  Connor sat next to him on the couch in the living room. “Are you done with your research? It’s almost lunch time, and I don’t want you to go hungry.”

  Harley beamed gratefully at him. “Almost done, but we can eat first. What do you have in mind?”

  “Chinese?”

  Harley chuckled. “Your favorite diner? Sounds good. Let me save my documents before we leave.”

  Connor grinned widely. “Great.”

  * * * *

  A few minutes later, they started walking hand in hand to the Chinese diner, ten minutes from Harley’s house. Initially, they were both quiet. Then Harley noticed a barely concealed excitement on Connor’s face.

  “Is something going on?”

  Connor chortled. “Am I that obvious?”

  “Kind of.”

  Connor blushed. “We haven’t gone out for dinner dates for a week now. What do you think about doing that tonight? Then we can go to the bay area afterward.”

  Harley arched an eyebrow at him. “What for?”

  “The water lantern festival. It’s tonight.”

  Harley was surprised to hear that. “I’ve never been to one. That will be fun.”

  He must have said the right thing because Connor seemed thrilled. The angel slung one arm over Harley’s shoulders and pulled him close. “We can do that together.”

  “Is the event environmentally friendly, though?”

  Connor nodded. “I researched the organizer online. They will pick all the lanterns off the water once the candles are extinguished.”

  “Perfect. Do we have to reserve tickets for us?”

  “Done!”

  Harley was taken aback. “How?”

  “I did that last night with my power.”

  “Abusing your power again?” Harley teased.

  “It’s for a good cause.”

  “Like what?”

  “Putting a bright smile on my lovely boyfriend’s face.”

  The gesture touched Harley. “Thank you. I guess I can let it slide just this once.”

  Connor let out a loud guffaw. “How magnanimous of you!”

  “I am, aren’t I?” Then Harley laughed along with Connor.

  A minute or so later, they reached the diner, so unfortunately, he didn’t get the chance to discuss with Connor what was truly bothering him. He figured he would do that later. In the meantime, he was determined to have a wonderful lunch with Connor. Everything else could take a back seat.

  * * * *

  Connor felt proud of himself. The dinner date with Harley turned out to be one of his better ideas so far. Harley seemed a lot more relaxed by the time they finished their meal, and also appeared enthusiastic as they drove toward the bay area for the festival. They held hands all the way to their destination. As usual, they didn’t have to pay attention to the road because Connor used his power to make sure the car got them there safely.

  “We’re here,” Connor announced several moments later.

  Harley nodded fast and hard, obviously excited. “Let’s get our lanterns now.”

  Harley’s euphoria must be infectious because Connor grew more elated by the second as they got out of the car and dashed toward the meeting point. They received their individual lanterns, and were provided with a marker each so they could write messages on them. Since they arrived a mere few minutes before the lanterns were to be released onto the water, they hurriedly sat on the ground and worked on their respective lanterns. It wasn’t long before one of the organizers started calling for them to gather next to the water. The lanterns were to float out in multiple batches. Not surprisingly, Connor and Harley had to join the final group since they were two of the last stragglers to arrive.

  “This scenery is absolutely beautiful and ethereal,” Connor whispered into Harley’s ear as he observed the floating lanterns. “It reminds me of the souls of the dead crossing into the underworld.”

  Harley turned toward him. “Are you telling me the river in the underworld is real?”

  “Why are you so surprised?”

  “I…I don’t know. I guess I thought the souls would just enter the light, and bam!—they would arrive in the underworld.”

  Connor snickered. “All souls will travel for forty-nine days to reach the underworld, babe, and that includes getting onto the boat and crossing the river. When the souls pass through the light, they will reach only the edge of the underworld. It’s a dimension between the main underworld itself and the mortal realm.”

  “What is it for?”

  “It’s actually a protective area for the souls of the dead and the ones who are still alive. Some living souls have been known to accidentally leave their bodies and step through the barriers. If they had gone straight into the underworld, they wouldn’t be able to return to their bodies. Ever. The souls of the dead are the color of blue-ish fire while the ones of the living are bright, brilliant, shining yellow. The ones whose times are already up are actually afraid of the souls of the living.”

  “Really?”

  Connor grinned. “It’s true. Funny, right? Humans are so terrified of ghosts, when the truth is, it’s the other way around.”

  “What about the malevolent spirits?”

  Connor shrugged. “Those are different. They’ve been corrupted by the evil deeds they commit after they’re dead.”

  Harley digested the new information as he and Connor waited their turn to release their respective lanterns. He might have further questions for Connor later. He also thought he might be ready to discuss the memories that had been bothering him the past week, but he would have to wait until after the event.

  * * * *

  “All right! Last group,” an event organizer shouted. “The ones who are done, step away from the edge of the water, please.”

  Connor took Harley’s hand as they moved forward. Then they knelt and waited for the event organizers to light their candles. Afterward, they gently put their lanterns on the water’s surface.

  “What message did you write on your lantern, babe?” Connor whispered into Harley’s ear as they got on their feet and observed their lanterns moving farther out.

  “Thanking whatever god is out there for sending you to me right in the nick of time. I was on the verge of giving up, thinking there was nobody out there who was made for me, but I was wrong. You’ve done the impossible. You’ve made me believe in love again, and for that, I’m eternally grateful. Thank you.”

  Connor’s heart beat fast and hard as he wrapped his arms around Harley’s waist from behind. “Thank you, too, for taking a chance on me.”

  Harley tilted his head sideways and gazed into his eyes. “What about you? What message are you sending into the universe?”

  Connor could feel himself blushing profusely. His neck and cheeks grew warm as blood rushed upward. His message wasn’t anything embarrassing, but it could probably be classified as being corny.

  “It’s…I…I wish for us to be together for all eternity. I don’t want to let you go. Ever. I don’t think I’ll survive losing you.” Connor stared at all the floating lanterns.

  Maybe he was a coward, but he didn’t have the guts to look at Harley’s expression. He was being so needy, clingy, and desperate, and that was so unlike him. However, that was his true feeling. He had fallen fast and hard for Harley, and he didn’t want them to get separated. He hoped they could stay together always.

  Harley abruptly turned and grabbed Connor’s cheeks. A single tear streamed down Harley’s cheek, and Connor’s heart ached a little. Before he could apologize for bringing down the mood, Harley
spoke.

  “I love you now and forever.”

  For a brief moment, the memory of someone saying those exact words came into Connor’s mind, but he shook it off. That was impossible. If he had someone who loved him that much, he would fight heaven, earth, and hell for the sake of their love. He smiled at Harley as he thumbed away his boyfriend’s tear.

  “I love you now and forever. You have all of me. My body, my heart, and my soul belong to you. Always.”

  Harley grinned at him even as the tears continued to fall. “Always.”

  Connor beamed before he captured his boyfriend’s lips with his own. Then he groaned against Harley’s mouth when his boyfriend nibbled his lips for a short moment before they swiped their tongues together. They were lost in their kisses as the lanterns floated farther out. Connor noticed the glowing lights before he shut his eyes and deepened the kiss. It was the most beautiful night in his entire existence, and he would never forget it. Forever.

  Chapter 9

  Harley bit his lower lip and moaned as he arched his back off the bed while Connor gently suckled on his nipple and pinched the other one with his fingers. He and Connor had arrived home a few minutes ago, but he wasn’t ready for the incredible evening to be over. He had taken the initiative to kiss Connor one more time until they had both become breathless from the exertion.

  “Make love to me.” Those were the words Harley had whispered into Connor’s ear, and a short moment later, they were lying naked on the bed inside the master bedroom. Soon, he was lost to the sensation of Connor’s lips and tongue, sucking and licking his ears, neck, and nipples. He ran his hands over Connor’s hair before gripping strands of it in his fists. He trembled when Connor slid upward and lightly bit on his right ear.

  “You taste and smell so fucking good, baby. Do you know that?”

  “No, but you can have every part of me.”

  Then Harley bucked his hips. He groaned in anticipation when he felt Connor’s throbbing, leaking cock against his right thigh. For a second, he wondered if all angels were blessed with such a massive endowment, but he shook off the thought. It didn’t matter. All he yearned for at the moment was to be impaled by Connor’s enormous cock deep inside his ass. It would hurt like hell, no pun intended. However, he was determined to get it inside his ass even if it killed him.

  Connor lay on his back before abruptly lifting Harley. Harley yelped in surprise, but it turned into a choking sound when he ended up with his ass over Connor’s face. Then Connor’s tongue lapped all over his crack. He gripped his butt cheeks and spread them wider to give Connor easy access. He hissed, and his cock pulsed even harder, when Connor speared that skillful tongue deep into his hole. He placed both palms onto Connor’s hairy, muscular belly, observing hungrily the sight of his boyfriend’s trembling hard cock, now oozing a copious amount of precum.

  After a few seconds, he couldn’t hold himself back any longer. He swooped down on that gigantic cock. He felt his gag reflex coming on, but he succeeded in ignoring it. He breathed in deeply before lowering his head much further until Connor’s cock was buried inside his throat and his nose pressed against his boyfriend’s tightening balls. He smelled the intoxicating scent of Connor’s balls, and that aroused him even further. He increased the suction and swallowed over and over again, massaging the cock with his throat and licking it with his tongue.

  He was startled when Connor abruptly stopped eating out his ass. Instead, he felt the warmth and wetness of Connor’s mouth and throat all around his dick. He thrashed, trying to get away. He was already too close to the edge. However, all of his efforts proved futile. Connor was so much stronger and more muscular, so Harley gave up and shot loads of cum down Connor’s throat. The sensation was amazing, and he whimpered as he sucked even harder on Connor’s cock while caressing his boyfriend’s balls.

  Once his climax subsided, he decided turnabout was fair play, so he doubled down on Connor’s cock. The angel definitely attempted to throw him off, but he wrapped his arms around Connor’s thighs and clung onto them as if his life depended on it. Seconds later, he was rewarded with Connor’s cum. There was so much of it, he almost choked, but he was thirsty for every single drop and wasn’t going to waste any of it.

  “Babe! Oh, shit! Fuck, fuck, fuck! Swallow it. That’s it, baby.”

  Harley rolled his eyes. As if he wasn’t going to. However, he soon realized he might have bitten off more than he could chew. Connor seemed to be coming for a long time. Harley wondered if all angels were programmed to shoot so much cum in one orgasm, but he didn’t get any chance to think further about it. He had to keep gulping because otherwise the cum would leak from his mouth. By the time Connor stopped, Harley felt full, and his stomach felt as if it bulged. When he raised his head and released Connor’s cock, he widened his eyes in shock. Connor’s dick was still hard. In fact, it appeared even harder than before.

  “Connor—”

  Harley didn’t get the chance to finish his statement because Connor abruptly threw him onto his back and raised his legs in the air, exposing his ass. “I’m going to fuck you raw and fill you with my cum. I hope you don’t mind walking funny for the next few weeks.”

  Both aroused and terrified, Harley gaped at Connor. He placed his palms against Connor’s hairy chest, but his boyfriend smirked at him. Harley was taken aback when he felt something slick and wet inside his ass.

  “What’s that?”

  “Something to ease the way.”

  Harley chuckled. “You used your power for something like—ouch! Fuck! Connor, stud, take it easy!”

  “Can’t, babe. I’m fucking horny for you.”

  Harley shut his eyes and did his best to relax as Connor shoved that massive cock deep into his ass. He found it hard to breathe because it felt as if Connor was trying to kill him with a monster-sized log.

  “Fuck! Connor, h-how many m-more inches?”

  “You’ve gotten the first five.”

  Harley opened his eyes and stared at Connor in horror. “Only five? Holy shit! How m-many more—”

  “Six more. Maybe a little longer than that.”

  “No! I c-can’t.”

  “Yes, you can. Just relax.”

  “E-easy for y-you to s-say.”

  Then Harley huffed in surprise when Connor dug deeper into him. He was even more astonished when he eventually felt Connor’s bushy pubes against his butt cheeks.

  “That’s it, baby. You got it all.”

  Harley was too exhausted and breathless to respond verbally. He simply wrapped his legs around Connor’s sweaty back before pulling his boyfriend’s head downward and pressing their lips together. He had no idea how long they remained in that position, but the kissing certainly helped. Soon, Connor was sliding his cock in and out pf Harley’s ass. Harley was grateful Connor had started out gentle and slow because he didn’t think he could take a rough pounding, especially not with the size of his boyfriend’s cock. However, he quickly found out there was an excellent benefit to being fucked by a cock as enormous as Connor’s. It rubbed against that incredibly sensitive spot inside him over and over again without fail.

  “Don’t s-stop, please.”

  Connor shook his head, causing a few drops of sweat to drip onto Harley. “I won’t, baby. You can have my cock anytime, anywhere. It’s yours.”

  Harley did his best to tighten his ass further around Connor’s cock. It was completely unnecessary, though. He didn’t think there was any space left inside him. He raised his head and upper body slightly and groaned. Even his belly seemed to bulge in a rather obscene manner. Connor’s cock must have gone all the way up there.

  “Fuck!”

  Connor kissed Harley’s forehead as he continued to thrust in and out. “Don’t worry, baby. You’ll be fine. I’ll make sure of it.”

  Harley nodded. “I’ll take your word for it. Now, shut up and fuck me hard.”

  “Okay, baby,” Connor said with a huge smile on his face before complying to the requ
est.

  Connor rammed into Harley’s ass with so much force, he felt lightheaded and dizzy. Connor’s massive endowment massaged the sweet spot inside his ass. It was as if he was endlessly floating on cloud nine. He didn’t even have to stroke his dick. He could detect his impending orgasm, and mere seconds later, the first shot of his warm, sticky cum landed with a splat onto the headboard. The next few shots landed on his pillow, face, neck, and chest before the last of it dribbled onto his abs.

  His climax had yet to come to an end when Connor roared like a feral beast. Then he felt Connor’s shaft throbbing forcefully inside him. The spurts of cum burst like a waterfall. Surprisingly, not a single drop leaked from his ass. Not that he should have been that astonished. Connor’s gigantic cock was like the best plug in the universe. Harley had no doubt all of the cum would remain inside him until his boyfriend pulled out. However, Connor didn’t seem inclined to do that. Instead, he rearranged their positions without pulling his dick out until they could lie down on their sides. Harley moaned in delight when Connor embraced him from behind.

  “Are you planning to keep your large dong inside my ass until tomorrow morning?”

  Connor chuckled and kissed the top of Harley’s head a couple of times before hugging him even harder. “It will make it easier for me to fuck you a few more times. I’m not done with you, babe.”

  Harley groaned. “You better let me sleep a little. Otherwise, I’ll be cranky the entire day tomorrow.”
