ROAD TO NOWHERE

Chapter 17

Avi awoke the next morning with a smile on his face but a very painful butt. He had never in his life been made love to like that. Even the sex with Mitch didn't fulfill him the way Tim had last night.

He raised up on his elbow, looking down at the sleeping man beside him. Smiling proudly at the huge hickey that he had left on Tim's neck. He had thought that Mitch had caused him to lose all hopes in ever falling in love again. He wasn't even sure he wanted too.

But looking down at Tim's handsome face, he realized that he was indeed falling in love with him. He reaches up and softly rubs the back of his hand against Tim's bearded jaw causing the sleeping man to stir.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty." Avi chuckles.

"Morning." Tim smiles. "What time is it?" He asks in a croaky voice.

"Oh, about 5:45." Avi smiles.

"Why are you awake so early?" Tim asks, pulling Avi closer to him.

"I thought we'd watch the sunrise together." Avi says before kissing Tim on the jaw.

"How are you feeling?" Tim asks.

"Like my butt hole is screaming for mercy." Avi chuckles.

"Sorry. I know I got a little rough last night." Tim smiles and kisses Avi softly.

"Trust me, I enjoyed every minute of it. Just paying for it this morning." Avi laughs as he slowly gets up with a groan. 

He walks over to their suit cases to get them some boxers, when he hears Tim chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Avi asks, turning around to see Tim sitting on the side of the bed laughing.

"You. You're walking like you've been riding a horse for a week." Tim laughs, shaking his head.

"Feels more like a horse was riding me." Avi smirks as he throws some boxers at Tim. "Come on, we're going to miss the sunrise."

Avi hurries out onto the balcony while Tim slips on his boxers. Avi could make out the silhouettes of people jogging down on the beach or out walking their dogs. 

Tim snakes his arms around Avi's waist from behind and kisses him on the shoulder.

"Thank you." Avi says softly.

"For what?" Tim whispers next to his ear, sending chills down his spine.

"For last night. It was amazing. I have never felt that way before during sex." Avi says with a shy chuckle.

"Truthfully, I haven't either." Tim smiles as they watch the skies slowly turn to radiant shades of yellow and orange reflecting on the water like a mirror.

"Really?" Avi asks as he snuggles into Tim's arms.

"Really. Sex for me normally is like an act in a play. I just play my part. Say my lines, act out my part with no emotions involved. Collect the money and leave feeling empty." Tim says as he stares at the beautiful colors playing out before their eyes. "But last night was completely different."

"I'm so glad to hear you say that." Avi smiles as he turns around in Tim's arms, putting his arms around the taller man's neck. "You know what I wanna do?"

"What's that?" Tim smiles, kissing Avi on the nose.

"Well, I can mark watching the sunset and sunrise off my bucket list. BUT, there's still going on a dolphin cruise, snorkeling and a helicopter ride over the ocean."

"I guess we need to get dressed then." Tim chuckles, taking Avi by the hand and leading him back into the room.

"Think we'll run into my ex today?" Avi asks, looking into a mirror and smiling at the hickey Tim left on his neck, clearly visible.

"It's possible, why?" Tim asks as he slips on a pair of shorts.

"I just want him to see this hickey you left." Avi smirks, rubbing a finger across the bruise.

"Honey, there's plenty more between your legs." Tim chuckles.

"Really? Well, those are to stay hidden from everyone's view but yours." Avi smiles.

"I would hope so." Tim laughs, slipping on his sandals. "You ready? Uh, is that my shirt?"

"Yep." Avi turns around with a huge smile wearing Tim's Texas shirt. "You don't mind do you?"

"No, of course I don't mind. It looks sexy on you." Tim says with a smirk.

They stop in the lobby and pick up some brochures of things to do in Destin.

"Looks like the Dolphin cruises are just down the road a bit." Tim says looking at the small map on the brochure.

"Can we do it?" Avi says sounding somewhat like a child.

"Yes, son. We can do it." Tim laughs, slipping his arm around Avi's waist as they head out.

"Wow, this is so cool." Avi grins as they get to the dock. "I can just imagine the Skipper and Gilligan being on one of these boats." 

"Lord, I hope not. That was suppose to be only a three hour tour, remember." Tim laughs as he walks up to the window to buy two tickets.

"Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise?" The voice was like nails on a chalk board to Tim.

Tim quickly looks over his shoulder to see the sassy ass smirk on the face of Avi's ex.

Tim huffs as he takes the tickets and then grabs Avi's hand.

"Aren't we the lucky ones." Tim growls as he walks past them.

"Yes, you are." Mitch sasses.

"Don't choke on your own prick there, *sshole. I was being sarcastic." Tim says.

"Oh, my God." Avi laughs, hiding his face behind Tim's back.

"Are you going to let him speak to me like that?" Mitch asks putting a hand on his chest.

"Why shouldn't I?" Avi laughs. "You don't mean sh*t to me anymore. For the first time in my life, I'm actually happy."

"Can y'all not try to get along?" Scott asks.

"Oh, shut the hell up. I've got every reason in the world to hate this jerk. And yes, I hate him with every fiber of my being." Avi growls. "So no. I have no intention of even trying to be nice to him."

"Let's go, Baby." Tim says as he starts to lead Avi to the boat.

"You know, I'm a firm believer in Karma. And I truly believe that one day Karma is going to bite you right in the ass, Mitch Grassi." Avi says before Tim pulls him into the boat.
