 ALL in all, I d say that was a fun night. Finnegan Helford
sighed and rested his cheek against Tucker Jones s shoulder
as he played with the gray vest that made up part of
Tucker s Captain Jack Sparrow costume.
His man had been the perfect swaggering yet goofy
pirate. And now they were back home, sitting on their sofa
and recovering from their friend s Halloween party. Tucker s
black trench coat was draped over the back of the couch,
and his heavy boots were lying on their sides next to the
coffee table. Finnegan bent over and started unlacing the
leather straps on his sandals.
 Yeah, it was, Tucker replied.  C mere, I ll help you with
those.
Tucker pulled Finnegan s foot onto his lap and slowly
removed the strap, dropping the sandal on the floor and then
massaging Finnegan s calf. Finnegan closed his eyes and
leaned against the sofa, enjoying the feeling of his partner s
strong hands on him. After he was done removing the other
sandal, Tucker s fingers ran over his calf and made their way
up his knee to his thigh, where the firm caress continued.
Finnegan moaned and spread his legs a little wider,
hoping Tucker would notice that he d already removed one
part of his Spartan costume. Well, technically his briefs
weren t part of the costume, but he d made a pit stop in the
bathroom when they got home and thrown them in the

laundry basket, leaving easy access under the brown and
gold skirt he wore.
Tucker s hands paused over his thighs, and Finnegan
could hear his partner breathing heavier than normal.  Did
you know David Miller was going to be there tonight?
Finnegan shrugged and wiggled, trying to encourage
Tucker to keep rubbing.  I didn t really think about it, but I
guess so. I mean, he s pretty tight with Ben s brother. Makes
sense that he d be invited.
 I guess, Tucker grumbled reluctantly and drew circles
over Finnegan s skin with his long fingers.
 Huh, Finnegan said as he sat up and turned toward
his partner, taking his feet off Tucker s lap and folding one
underneath him. He appraised Tucker carefully.
 What? A small frown pulled down Tucker s normally
happy face, and he was fidgeting with the two huge belts
buckled around his trim waist.
Finnegan reached for the belts and slowly unbuckled
each one. He set them on the coffee table and then removed
the scarf tied around his lover s waist, adding it to the pile.
 You re jealous.
Though he said it, Finnegan didn t actually think it was
possible. Tucker Jones had no cause to be jealous of any
man. Tucker was the ideal smart, fun, handsome, and
charming. Even wearing what should have been unflattering
wide-leg pants and a billowy shirt, Tucker looked good
enough to eat. Finnegan licked his lips in anticipation of his
treat.

 Of course I m jealous, Finn! Tucker was surprisingly
vehement.  You were with the guy for a long time. He s drop-
dead gorgeous. And he s still in love with you.
Finnegan snorted out a laugh.  I dated him five years
ago, it lasted for like six months, and love was never part of
the equation. Finnegan chuckled and climbed onto his
partner s lap, straddling slender hips and draping his hands
around Tucker s neck.  You met his partner tonight, right?
You saw how they looked at each other, all googly eyes and
soft smiles? They even have a kid. David Miller isn t a threat,
TJ.
Tucker buried his face in Finnegan s neck and nuzzled
the tender skin.  Whatever. He s still gorgeous, and I didn t
like seeing him talk to you.
Finnegan felt his chest constrict at the sight of his
normally boisterous lover curling into him. Tucker had his
arms around Finnegan s waist, and those big hands were
caressing Finnegan s ass, which he loved. He kissed the top
of Tucker s head affectionately.
 You re cute when you re jealous, TJ.
 Very nice, Finn. Really. He may have been jealous and
angry, but Tucker still kept his arms wrapped around
Finnegan and held him close.  We re talking about your
muscle-god ex and you call me cute. Way to stroke my fragile
ego.
 Right, like your ego is fragile, Finnegan scoffed.
Tucker just whimpered and found some way to burrow
deeper into Finnegan s neck. He looked to be the perfect

picture of abject misery.
 Oh come on. Finnegan nudged Tucker s head back
and dropped a soft kiss on tightly pinched lips.  Open up.
Another kiss.  TJ, you big baby, open your damn mouth and
let me in. Another kiss, this one with a darting, licking
tongue. Still no reaction.  I love you, TJ. The whispered
words were all it took for Tucker to join the kiss.
Finnegan sighed happily when Tucker opened the clasp
holding the maroon cape draped over his shoulder and let it
fall back, leaving Finnegan wearing nothing but his skirt.
Then Tucker shoved big hands under that skirt and
continued the massage of Finnegan s ass.
 Mmmm, I ve been wanting to do this all night, Tucker
confessed.  Saw you walking around in this skirt, watching
every guy at that party check out your legs and try to get a
look at what you had on underneath. It made me fucking
nuts.
Finnegan made quick work of Tucker s button and
zipper, pulling his pants open and squeezing his thick, hard
cock through the fabric of his underwear.
 I m all yours, TJ. You know that. Always yours.
 I know, Tucker whispered and planted his feet on the
ground to give himself enough leverage to raise his hips so
Finnegan could pull his pants and brief down to his thighs,
letting his cock spring free.
Tucker sighed happily and kept rubbing Finnegan s ass,
letting thick fingers dip into his crease. That moment right
there was exactly what Finnegan had been hoping for when

he d decided to dress up as a Spartan for Halloween.
 Finn? Tucker s breath hitched.
 Uh huh. Finnegan spread his legs wider, encouraging
Tucker to keep going, keep touching.
 When d you get the lube? Tucker pushed one long
finger into Finnegan s slicked body as he asked the question,
making Finnegan shudder and whimper happily.
 Got ready in the bathroom when we got home. Been
wanting you all night too. You looked so fucking hot. You
always do. Another finger worked its way into Finnegan s
body, making him gasp.  Wanna fuck me, TJ?
 God, yes, Tucker groaned.
Finnegan raised himself to a kneeling position,
straddling Tucker s lap. He dropped a soft kiss on his
partner s lips, and then he spit into his hand and circled it
around that thick, hard cock, giving it a gentle stroke before
pulling it back between his legs and nestling down so the
crown pressed against his pucker.  Hold it steady for me,
Finnegan rasped.
Tucker nodded and took over, holding his dick out with
one hand and keeping the other on Finnegan s waist, lending
him support. Finnegan held onto Tucker s shoulders and let
out a breath as he bore down hard, forcing that thick flesh to
push past his ring of muscle and penetrate his body.
Both men gasped, then Finnegan dropped his forehead
onto Tucker s and started rocking, taking himself further
down that pole until his balls were squished against Tucker s

belly and pubic hair was tickling his ass.
 Feels so good, TJ. Always so good with you.
Tucker gripped Finnegan s hips tightly and helped him
move up and down, taking Tucker s dick all the way into his
channel before sitting up so just the crown was spreading
his ring open and then dropping back down again.
 Oh damn, Tucker moaned.   S too good. Can t last.
Tucker planted his feet firmly on the ground and started
thrusting his hips, meeting Finnegan s motions. He snaked
one hand between their bodies and wrapped it around
Finnegan s cock, stroking him as they both grunted and
raced toward completion.
 Gonna, Finnegan grunted.  Oh, so good. So good. He
raised himself and pushed back down brutally, crying out as
wet heat pulsed out of his cock and coated Tucker s hand.
 Fuck, yes! Tucker screamed, pounding up into
Finnegan s body two more times before holding still and
shooting deep inside his partner.
Finnegan whimpered and dropped his face onto
Tucker s shoulder, darting his tongue out to taste sweat-
slicked skin.  That was great.
Tucker nodded and rubbed Finnegan s lower back as he
kissed his lover s temple.  Yeah, it was.
 I think maybe next year, I ll get that warrior costume. It
just had armbands and small flaps in the back and front,
Finnegan teased.

Tucker growled.  Don t you dare.
 Happy Halloween, TJ, Finnegan laughed.  I love you.
Strong arms tightened around his body, keeping him
close.
 I love you too, Finn. Always.
