    Summary

    “Oxford, like twenty years ago—” Twenty-one, actually. “I was there for a term abroad. We had a class together.” Alex huffs a disbelieving laugh and pushes a hand back through his curls. “We, uh, well. There was that party after final exams…”

    “I’m so sorry, I don’t recall that one” Henry lies, flashing an apologetic smile. “I don’t remember the details of most of those uni parties these days.”

    (Twenty years ago, Henry met—and let go of—his soulmate. Now he's in his 40s, with a new job in a new city, and certainly not expecting said soulmate to come barreling into his life again. A small white lie seems like the simplest way to keep things from getting awkward, but real life has a way of getting complicated.)

    Summary

    “That’s when Alex sees him.

    He’s seated at the edge of the pool, legs dangling in the warm water of the shallow end. There’s another man standing in the pool, with his face pressed to the spot where long limbs meet tiny waist. Honestly though, that’s not what gets Alex’s attention—he’s far from the only person in Alex’s line of sight having his cock sucked.

    But he’s certainly the prettiest.”

    Or, Alex meets Henry on Fire Island.

    Summary

    Three years after Ellen Claremont’s re-election, a series of complex, cumulative events lead Alex and Henry to decide they need to break up: it’s mutual, and it breaks both of their hearts to pieces. Ten years after that, circumstances bring them back together and they have to decide whether trying again is worth the risk. Life changes, and then changes again, over two conversations.

    Summary

    “We’re in a hallway in the White House,” Henry whispers fiercely, but a small whine slips past his lips as Alex starts stroking him, pure cotton material soft under Alex’s fingertips and contrasting the pronounced ridge of Henry's length underneath it.

    “In the residence, with us being the only ones staying on this side tonight,” Alex tells him, continuing his ministrations and grinning at the feeling of Henry hardening in his grip. “The closest secret service agents are on the other side of that door—” He jerks his head to his left. “—and around the corner at the bottom of this staircase. As long as you or I don’t sound like we’re in mortal peril, they’ll stay exactly where they are.”

    Henry swallows, and Alex has to bite back the temptation to follow the movement with his fucking teeth. “Right.”

    “So.” Alex tugs the elastic of Henry’s shorts down enough to pull his cock out. “Can you avoid sounding like you’re dying, your highness?”

    Summary

    "Baby," Alex manages, and Henry groans in response, grazing his earlobe with his teeth. Alex bites his lip his stifle his own whimper. "H, hang on."

    Henry pulls away from his assault on his neck, face flushed, chest heaving. "What's — what's wrong?"

    "Nothing, sweetheart, nothing," Alex soothes, placing both hands on Henry's shoulders. "I just — do you wanna do it? Now?"

    Henry blinks owlishly. Alex watches as the realization slowly dawns on him, and he turns his head to look at the camera. He stares for a moment, then looks back at Alex and says, "Can you bring it closer?"

    Or, Alex and Henry film a sex tape.
