Three More Wishes by Sean Michael Page B

yes?"
    "It is. The sky looks amazing. A billion stars." Xander took his hand and led him from the porch.
    The sand moved under his feet, shifted, slid. Xander let go of his hand and slid an arm around his waist, pulling him into the warmth and strength close to him.
    "Thank you. Is it pretty where you're from?"
    "It's nice. Not as pretty as this, though."
    Cameron wished he could see it. "It smells so exotic."
    "Ocean and breezes, palms and flowers. It is exotic."
    "Where I came from, nothing was exotic. Cow shit, wind, and cold."
    Xander squeezed his hip. "I don't know, to a city boy even cow shit seems kind of exotic."
    That made him laugh. "The mustangs are exotic, amazing."
    "You're talking horses now and not cars, right?"
    "Yes. Wild mustangs, although the cars aren't bad."
    "How cool is that? You had those on your property? Or in the area at least? I guess they weren't yours if they were wild..."
    The sand got wet beneath their feet.
    "They run in a protected area, mostly, but we had a little herd on our..." No. Not his. "On Chett's property."
    "Sounds like you already were in touch with magical, even before you came here."
    "I used to be, yes. Once upon a time." Once when he was a whole man, useful.
    "And now you are again." Xander kissed the side of his mouth. "Although, I think half the magic of this place is because of you."
    "That's a sweet thing to say."
    "I mean it, Cameron. I can't imagine being here with anyone else."
    "Thank you." He sighed softly as they walked. He focused on the feel of the sand under his feet.
    "Waves are coming," murmured Xander, and a moment later water ran over his feet like a blanket of wet before disappearing again.
    "How fast do you think the water gets deep here?"
    "Probably not very. I mean everything else it perfect, so why not the beach? I bet we could go quite far out and then there'll be a sandbar before it gets really deep."
    "Oh." That was a long way to chicken out.
    "We'll have to wander out tomorrow."
    "Yeah, we should. See how far we can go before it's too far while the sun is out." More water rushed up over his feet.
    Cameron nodded, smiled at the warm caress of the water.
    "How far do you want to walk?" Xander asked him.
    "Forever." He laughed a little, self-conscious.
    "Forever it is." Xander kept them moving, the sand still wet under their feet, the waves occasionally rushing up to them.
    "Tell me why you chose this place?" He knew why he'd come.
    "Because it's warm, it's beautiful, and they said they could find me you."
    "You wanted a worthless cowboy?"
    Xander made a pshaw sound. "That's not how I'd describe you, Cameron. Not at all."
    He didn't know how to respond to that.
    "You're handsome and sweet and funny, and maybe the most sensual man I've ever met."
    "Thank you." He leaned into Xander's strength. "You're exactly who I asked for, too."
    "Good, I'm glad. I want to be exactly right for you."
    "You are."
    Xander was perfect.
    Xander dropped a kiss on his lips. "Thanks."
    He held on tight, just for a second. Xander deepened the kiss for another second, and he could feel the man's smile as their lips parted.
    "You're happy, huh?" This might be his fantasy, but it was important that Xander was happy.
    "Yeah. Very. You, too, right?"
    "I am. I'm trying to put everything into this time, you know?"
    "Yeah, it's a special time. Making wonderful memories." Xander stopped and turned him, drew him close again.
    Xander's kiss opened his mouth. Cameron groaned, licking into Xander's lips. He just needed to forget. Xander took one kiss after another, everything else slowly falling away. He stepped into Xander's body, arms wrapped around the broad shoulders. Xander's hands landed on his ass, squeezed his buttocks, made them ache, the burn from the earlier spanking still there.
    "I can't believe I let you spank me. It was so good."
    "That's why you let me." Xander rubbed him gently. "There's more stuff I can do to you, more stuff I want to do."
    "Please. I want to experience
