Not Falling Apart

Chapter 14

Adam’s POV

He wasn’t sure what the hell he was thinking, or what was about to happen, but he wanted every damn part of it. Blake held his hand as he followed him to the bedroom.

Blake pulled Adam around and pushed him down on the unmade bed. He smiled down at him. “Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Yes.”

Blake began slowly unbuttoning his shirt.

“No wait!” Adam interrupted him. He smirked. “Let me do it.”

Blake brought himself closer to Adam and Adam finished unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a large, muscular torso. Adam was instantly turned on.

Blake kissed Adam on the cheek, then trailed down over his chin all the way down his neck and stopped when he got to the collar of his shirt. He grabbed the bottom of it with both hands and began pulling it up over Adam’s body. Adam lifted his arms so that Blake could remove it all the way. He tossed it on the ground and continued to kiss Adam. Adam pulled Blake’s shirt off as well and threw it aside.

Blake's POV

Blake continued kissing down Adam’s chest. God, he has a gorgeous body. He stopped when he met the bandage that was still covering part of Adam’s stomach from the surgery. Dang, he almost forgot. Blake didn’t want to hurt him, but he didn’t want to stop. Adam caught Blake staring at it.

“It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt that bad. Don’t let it stop you.” Adam gave him a devilish grin, which turned Blake on even more.

Blake unzipped his pants and let them slide to the floor. Adam reached down and unzipped his own jeans and Blake undid the belt and yanked them to the ground.

He laid down on top of Adam, hands on the bed supporting himself. He could feel Adam’s hot, quick breathes on his face. They kissed each other on the lips. Adam pushed Blake off of him and he rolled to the side, and Adam crawled on top of Blake. Blake grabbed Adam’s hair and pulled his head down for another kiss. With one hand Blake reached up and grabbed Adam’s butt, which made him yelp, and Blake giggled.

“Oh, you’re in for it now, Shelton.”

Adam rolled off of him and pulled him to where they were lying close, facing each other, breathing into each other’s mouths. Adam bit Blake’s ear and pulled his hair at the same time. Blake cried in protest but allowed Adam to continue. Then Adam began sucking on his neck, which made Blake moan. He was so good.

“I can’t let you have all the fun now,” Blake said.

His hand found Adam’s crotch, and Adam kept kissing Blake’s neck and upper body. His teeth found Blake’s nipple. Blake started massaging Adam and Adam groaned in pleasure as he took Blake’s ear in his mouth again. They rolled over each other again and their legs intertwined. Adam slid his leg up and down against Blake’s.

They were both sweating heavily. Blake loved the feel of Adam’s hot, hard body against him. It felt right, like it was meant to be. He continued massaging him and planting kisses all over his body, and Adam did the same to him.

Adam’s POV

Adam was laying with his head resting on Blake’s chest. They were under the sheets, legs still tangled together, still hot, just beginning to breathe normally again.

 Blake spoke first. “I didn’t know you were gay.”

Adam knew he meant it as a joke, but it made him think for a second. He wasn’t, didn’t think he was, so what just happened? Oh well, it didn’t matter. He loved every second of it, and he loved Blake. He was whatever you called that.

“I could say the same thing about you.”

A few moments passed, then Blake spoke again. “Ya know, ever since I first met you I’ve had feelings for you. I’m glad you got sick.”

“Why?”

“’Cause otherwise I never would’ve gotten the chance to realize that I love you.”

Adam smiled. “I’m sure it would have happened eventually.”

“Yeah, but this just sped up the process.” Blake smiled. “What about you?”

“What about me what?”

“When did you first start having feelings for me?”

“When you hugged me after I found out I had cancer.” Cancer. That scary thought again.

“That late? Gosh, it was one-sided love for too long!”

“You know what I mean! I really liked you long before that. Then I realized that I wanted you.”

Blake smiled, and he wrapped an arm around Adam’s shoulder. Adam snuggled in closer to Blake’s warm body, and they both began to drift to sleep.

The pain Adam had felt during the past week was something he didn’t want to relive. But he would do it all over again if it meant Blake could be his.

***

Adam opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the clock on his nightstand, which read 9:30. He rolled over and saw Blake propped up on a pillow. They were both still naked.

Adam inched his way closer to Blake. “Good morning.” It was nice waking up to Blake by his side. He could get used to it.

“Morning,” was all Blake said.

“Is something wrong?”

“Adam, do you think this is gonna work? Us?”

“Of course it will work. We’ll just be careful. I want it to. Don’t you?” He already knew the answer.

“You know I do. More than anything.” He paused. “I just hate that we’ll only be able to have nights like this a couple days a week. Hospital visits just aren’t good enough anymore.”

Adam laid a hand on Blake’s body. “It’s just be a few more weeks. Then after that, we can do whatever we want, any time.” He smirked.

Blake smiled. “I can’t wait.” He kissed the top of Adam’s head.

This was all foreign to Adam, but he was loving every second of it. He truly believed that he could come to love Blake Shelton like he had never loved anyone before.
