A Likely Story: A Wayward Ink Publishing Anthology by Wayward Ink Page A

absolute perfection.
    Logan rolled over on top of Jonah and claimed his lips in a gentle kiss. “I suppose we should find out where we are. Might be a bit hard, since we’re both practically in the buff.”
    Jonah laughed. “Actually, that might not be a problem. I’m pretty sure that chest we rescued is the one with my spare clothing inside. I’m sure we can find something to fit you too.”
    “Come home with me.” Logan hadn’t known what he was going to say until the words tumbled from his lips. Now they were spoken, he realized how much he wanted to keep the other man with him. They may have met under the strangest of circumstances, but perhaps it had been Fate. Kismet. Serendipity.
I’m out of the whale. Now it’s time to come out of the closet.
    Jonah regarded Logan steadily, and for a moment Logan was worried he was going to refuse. “We have whales in Australia too, you know. You can still work.”
    Jonah gave a wry laugh. “To be honest, I think I’ve had enough of whales… at least for a little while.” He paused. “But, yes, I will come with you.”
    The two men stood and walked over to the box to see what they could dress themselves in before making their way into town. Logan’s mind was filled with a thousand thoughts. He wondered where they were; how far he was from home. But mostly he turned his thoughts to the future. A future of him and Jonah. Together. If their first adventure was anything to go by, it was clear they were going to have a whale of a time.

“SHIT! The condom came off.”
    Cassidy had the vaguest sensation that this was something he should care about, but with his eyes rolled back in his head and Jax’s gorgeous dick up his ass, fuck if he could put his finger on why. All he knew for sure was that Jax had stopped thrusting, and his butt wasn’t liking that one bit. He’d gone his whole life without Jax inside him, and had spent the last three weeks very mindfully trying to remedy that condition. If the kid thought he was gonna halfway fuck Cassidy for the first time, and then pull out because his dick was too big to keep rubbered, he’d obviously lost his damn mind along with the shitty piece of latex. Cassidy took hold of Jax by his bony hips and guided him back in so there would be no misunderstanding.
    “Who cares?” he said. “What, am I gonna get pregnant? Just come in me.”
    CASSIDY UEMATSU was the first openly gay Republican of Japanese ancestry to be elected to the Colorado House of Representatives before age thirty-five. All these things were true about him, but until he’d read that description of himself in the free weekly newspaper that covered Denver clubs, trends, and politics, he wouldn’t have thought there was such a specific legislative niche waiting to be filled.
