Daniel's Dream Read Free Page B

the beginnings of fine lines around the outer corners of his eyes, and he grinned making them appear a little deeper. He knew most people would be upset at seeing this, but not Josh. He was particularly proud of them. He knew those lines came from the laughter and joy he had shared with Nick and Daniel and he had earned every one of them.
    Josh still couldn't believe how much his life had changed ever since Nick had arrived. Both he and Daniel had been deep in mourning, and even though Josh had done his best, he and Daniel struggled to connect with one another.
    It had been a big change for both of them, and also the hardest time of both of their lives.
    He had been plagued with worry and guilt, afraid of not raising his young nephew in a happy and warm environment like the one Daniel had with his loving parents. Josh had even had nightmares of his sister, Jolene, reading him the riot act for the lousy job he did raising her son. And just when Josh thought things were never going to get better for either of them, he hired Nick as a live-in nanny a short space of time they formed a strong relationship and provided a happy family for Daniel.
    He knew he was blessed.
    Things had been going smoothly for their small make-shift family. So much so, that when Nick met him at the door, looking all pale and worried, he had a nagging sense of that old familiar worry. But, after talking to both Nick and Daniel, Josh knew that everything would be fine.
    Josh realized that his and Nick's relationship might raise some eyebrows and possibly cause Daniel some grief. But Danny assured Josh he was happy with both him and Nick; Andrew was the only one at school who ever said anything to him about it.
    They were lucky to live in a more alternative lifestyle friendly town like Charlestown, but there would always be bigots and hate-filled people who were never going to approve of the life they led. Hell, even as an Emergency Room nurse, he still dealt with prejudices of being a male RN every day. He had heard all of the jokes and the snickers behind his back, but Josh had learned to hold his head high, and he was determined that between the love and support that both he and Nick gave Daniel, his young nephew would learn to do that too.
    He hoped.
    He heard the bathroom door open and through the mirror's reflection saw Nick stand behind him. His looked at Nick's smiling face and appreciative glance and gave him one of his own.
    "Hello, Green Eyes."
    Between Nick's deep, sultry voice and the mischievous twinkle in his indigo colored eyes, his heart fluttered with happiness.
    Damn he really loved this man.
    The warm press of Nick's strong body against his back made Josh smile. He felt the hardness of Nick's erection pressed against his lower back and ass as Nick started rubbing his body suggestively against him.
    Josh moaned.
    The feel of Nick's hard body and the heady scent of his clean, citrusy smell were going to drive him crazy with need.
    "Want you, Green Eyes," Nick whispered into Josh's ear. The warmth of his breath against Josh's ear and neck brought chill bumps all over his body. Nick hummed a little, and pressed his moist lips against Josh's neck in a barely there kiss, right before he grabbed the back of Josh's hair and gently pulled his head back and began to run his tongue down the side of his neck.
    "Want you, too. God, baby, you drive me crazy sometimes," he panted.
    At Josh's words, Nick's mouth latched onto the side of his neck and he started sucking, not hard enough to leave a mark, but with enough pressure that Josh's cock filled in anticipation.
    Nick's warm, soft hand traveled down his side and then glided over up to his nipple, tweaking it. Needing more, Josh put his hand over Nick's wayward one and guided it down his stomach and through the elastic waistband of his flannels to his hard cock. As Nick was kissing up Josh's neck to the side of his face, Josh turned his head slightly and their mouths met in a passionate kiss, their
