Richard sucked in a breath and let out a keening sound, which only made me sling my body into him with more fervor.
Take it, I thought. Take all of me.
I felt the hard press of his dick against my lower belly. Instead of reaching down to stroke it, I let my body tease him as I shifted my hips in and out.
He began to murmur my name under his breath with more pleading. The sound of his broken voice mixed with our ragged breathing and the slap of my hips against his ass made me even harder.
I felt his cock jerk between us. He reached his hand down, but I brushed it away. His orgasm was mine, and I intended to take it when I was ready.
He squeezed his eyes closed. “Boone,” he panted. “I can’t… I need… please let me come.”
I paused, the tip of my dick poised at his entrance as I pulled back, ready to thrust into him again. He shuddered and trembled, his entire body wound tight and ready to explode.
“Look at me,” I told him.
His eyes flew open. He was so gorgeous like this, laid bare beneath me. So full of need that it tore down his defenses.
I smiled. “You’re perfect,” I whispered. I hadn’t meant to say it out loud. I covered the admission by squeezing my hand around his cock at the same time as I drove into him.
“Fuck!” he cried out. His eyes stayed on me as he came, pupils blown, lost to the waves of pleasure tearing through him.
Hot spunk hit my skin just as the squeeze of his tight ass shuttered my mind and exploded my body in release. I thrust into him one last time, as deep as his body would allow. I filled him before letting go completely.
As our orgasms subsided, I hovered over him, kneeling with my hands braced against the ground on either side of his head. His legs wrapped around me, his fingers digging into my shoulders.
Still we stared at each other, both panting, our chests brushing against each other as we sucked in air. It was by far the hottest sex I’d ever had, and judging from the dazed expression on Richard’s face, the same applied to him as well.
As our breathing slowed, I could see reality start to enter his consciousness. His eyes became guarded again. I lifted my hand and traced my thumb along his cheek. Then I leaned forward, letting my mouth brush against his. Once, twice. I lingered there, tasting him.
I wanted him to feel treasured and important. I wanted him to know this wasn’t just a fuck. This had been something more. A connection, even if it might be a connection between two very different people who lived in different worlds and had different lives.
I stopped myself from following that train of thought to its inevitable conclusion. Now wasn’t the time to worry about the future. It was enough that the connection between us existed right now. Tonight, out under the stars, anything was possible. I’d let the future sort itself out tomorrow when we returned to the real world.
I eased out of him carefully, quickly disposing of the condom and grabbing his towel and my canteen. I cleaned us both up the best I could. But even so, I could still smell the scent of sex on him. The scent of me on him. It called to the primal part of me that Richard had awakened, which preened at the knowledge that I’d marked him as mine.
I shifted us both into the double sleeping bag without worrying about the tent, and our bodies instinctively wrapped around each other, slotting together as if we were made for this.
As one, we stared up at the endless sky. It was a clear night, a chill in the air making everything crisper and sharper, including the riot of stars above us. Satellites scuttled amongst them, tiny pinpricks arcing across the dark expanse.
As we watched, a single star shot across the horizon, trailing a tail of light in its wake, and Richard sucked in a breath.
“Make a wish,” he murmured against my chest.
I pressed a kiss to his head as I wished that this moment would last forever.

RICHARD
There was something about being out under the stars with the night sky so big and wild above us that made me feel anything was possible. And there was something about being wrapped in Boone’s arms that made me feel safe enough to ask the question I’d been thinking about all day.
“How’d you do it?” I asked.
“Hmmmm?” Boone’s voice had that post-sex lazy drawl to it.
“Leaving your family. Walking away from your inheritance. Striking out on your own with nothing.”
Boone was quiet for a moment. “Well, I didn’t have nothing,” he said as he traced circles lightly along my arm. “I had my prized bull.”
