need to hear it, as well.”
    “Can’t you be satisfied with what I am able to give for now? I told you, always and forever!”
    “I’ve had to be satisfied for the past year and a half! I’m finished discussing this! We are just going in circles! I’m deeply in love with you, and that is never going to change, but you have to help yourself. I see that you only have one option in this, and that is repairing us. When you repeated those vows on the beach, you committed yourself to me and this marriage. Catherine doesn’t fit into that equation. I don’t share, and I don’t play open marriage games. Andrew is a different situation. If he is indeed your son, I understand wanting to be a part of his life, and would hope you would do so.”
    “Will you be there tonight?” Roman asked.
    “Against my better judgment. Someone has to make sure that my gay baby doesn’t end up in bed with her. She also needs to see that you are not available.”

Chapter Five
     
    While Kyle showered, Roman put the steaks on the grill. The salad was chilling in the refrigerator as he uncorked a bottle of wine, putting it on ice. He lied to himself, trying to admit that the only excitement he was feeling was because of Andrew. It was hard to see Catherine and not revisit his marriage with Lisa. She had probably saved his life that afternoon, as he remembered putting away his gun in the nightstand to answer the door.
    Feeling two arms around his waist, he turned, hoping to find Kyle in a better mood. Instead, he gazed in shock at his partner.
    “You don’t like it?” Kyle said, towel-drying his boyishly short hair.
    “I liked it long. Will take some getting used to,” Roman replied cautiously, not wanting Kyle’s mood to change.
    “I had it done after I left the gym, and you were busy on the patio when I got home. It’s more appropriate, since I am a married man now.”
    “I need to check the steaks.”
    “They can wait a minute. I got a call from our photographer that our photos could be picked up, the images from the beach. They are really good, especially one. Now go check the steaks while I get it.”
    Roman returned to a framed image on the bar. The photographer had captured him caressing Kyle’s cheek, their eyes focused on each other.
    “No one has ever looked at me like that,” Kyle said quickly, closing the distance between them. “The young woman at the frame shop agreed to do this one on short notice this afternoon only because she said that it touched her heart. It touched mine, too. If your eyes and your body can tell me, why can’t I hear your voice?” he said, caressing the back of Roman’s neck. “You were right. We do need to talk tonight after Catherine leaves.”
    “I can’t make any promises that I will be able to tell you what you need to hear,” Roman said, turning so they were facing each other.
    “I know you love me,” Kyle said softly, brushing Roman’s lips with his own. “We just have to figure out together how to bridge that gap.”
    Between kisses, Kyle whispered, “I was wrong to shut you out. I’m just hurting.”
    “The steaks will be done in about ten minutes, and they will be here in thirty. Now is not the time…and not in the kitchen.”
    “That’s enough time for what I plan to do. Anyway, only one of us is undressing, and that lucky man is you,” Kyle said, pushing Roman against the bar.
    “I really wish you hadn’t cut your hair, silly boy,” Roman said, feeling Kyle unbuckling the belt on his slacks. “What am I going to tangle my hands in while you blow me.”
    “I’m sure you will be more than compensated for that,” Kyle said, disappearing into the bedroom, retrieving a condom. “Now let me suck my gay baby. I like your trashy mouth, too.”
    “No, I think you’re the one who’s going to have a trashy mouth ,” Roman replied as his head went back in pleasure.
    Kyle’s mouth teased and enveloped his hard dick as he felt his husband’s tongue lick his cock
