It’s been a busy two weeks since last time. I went to the work conference which was great and from there I traveled over a chunk of New Mexico. I got to see the Carlsbad Caverns (beautiful), Roswell (silly fun) along with so much in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Here’s hoping a story or two comes out of it.

I am continuing with Aneirin and Kaleo’s story. It’s the morning after the party and Aneirin is stuck in a shuttle craft taking Kaleo home with him even though he has no idea what to do with this ‘gift.’

He climbed in after Kaleo, who settled onto the comfortable bench seating in the shuttle’s cab. Aneirin flicked a button, firing up the engine and let autopilot take over. He wished he could solve all his problems that easily. Once the ride smoothed out, Kaleo edged closer to Aneirin. He leaned over, his tongue flickering against the pulse point on Aneirin’s neck.

Aneirin gently pushed the young man back. “No, don’t do that.”

Kaleo’s nose wrinkled.  He studied Aneirin with unnerving closeness. Aneirin felt naked under his gaze. “I thought you were drunk last night and didn’t mean what you said. You don’t want me to?”

“Do you really want to?” Aneirin countered, knowing the obvious answer but was surprised Kaleo seemed to mull it over.

“I don’t know.” His face darkened as he clenched his hands. “I’m not sure I can know.”
