Third Person POV

After Joss unlocked the door of his seaside cottage, he stepped aside to let Bas in first.

He was happy to see that the caretaker had kept the cottage tidy and in spic and span order. He had been paying a caretaker a monthly retainer fee to clean and maintain the cottage once a week.

"I keep a closet and dresser drawers of new clothes and new underwear for use for whenever I come to stay overnight," Joss informed Bas, "I believe I have some clothes and underwear that are your size."

"Wait, P'Joss!" Bas' eyes were wide eyed as he processed that information, "are we staying here overnight?"

"If you have no objections to that," Joss replied with a smile.

"I ... I ... I thought we were just here to watch the sunset together," Bas stammered a little bit.

"If you wish to go back home after watching the sunset, I will not keep you from doing so," Joss said, the disappointment very evident on his face.

"Let's go watch the sunset!" Bas exclaimed, removing his socks and shoes and sprinting out of the cottage and towards the water.

Joss removed his own socks and shoes and ran after Bas.

Bas had already rolled up his pants and was wading in the water. Joss did the same.

And then without warning Bas pushed Joss making him fall just as a big wave washed over him.

Bas shrieked, and with loud laughter started to run away.

Joss shook the water out of his face and his hair and waded out of the water.

He started to run after Bas who had looked back to see him gaining distance and started shrieking again.

Just as Joss caught up with Bas, Bas tripped on a small stone in the sand and grabbed Joss to keep his balance but sent Joss falling down with him.

Their faces dangerously close, what was Joss to do?

Joss slowly lowered his face until his lips were touching Bas' own lips.

The kiss started gentle enough, but as Joss deepened the kiss, Bas started kissing him back.

Joss teased Bas' tongue with his, making Bas shiver with the delicious sensations that Joss was giving him.

Joss broke the kiss.

"Let's go back inside the water," said Joss, removing his wet shirt and wet pants and left only his boxer shorts on as he waded back into the sea.

Bas did the same, since his shirt and pants had already gotten partially wet. He joined Joss in the water with only his boxer shorts on.

They stayed in the water, locked in an embrace as they watched the sun slowly going down, painting the water a bright red orange.

When there were only a few speckles of color left on the water, Joss pulled Bas face towards him and started to kiss him again.

They kissed long and hard until they were both breathless and had to stop to take in some much needed air.

"Let's go back to the cottage," Joss said, between taking in gulps of air.

When they reached the cottage, Joss asked Bas with a naughty twinkle in his eye, "Bas, are you game with taking a shower together with me?"

Bas hesitated, not knowing where it was going to lead.

"If you don't feel comfortable with the idea, I won't force you," Joss assured him.

Suddenly Bas said excitedly, "Race you to the shower!" running as fast as he could to the cottage's one and only bathroom.

He shut and locked the bathroom door before Joss could reach it.
