New Year, New Love, New Challenge (3 page)

“Okay, I know we do have to get through the whole ‘moving to Africa’ thing first, but how about if we agree to at least not completely dismiss the idea for good?”

Andy relaxed and smiled. “Sure, I think I can do that.”

Trent grinned, feeling a tightness in him release. “Okay.”

“Okay.”

They wished others Happy New Year and then went back to their apartment to celebrate in their own way, into the early hours of the morning. Trent was still awake afterwards, content to stare up into the darkness, listening to Andy’s deep breaths beside him, the slight puffs of air as he exhaled washing over a patch of skin on his chest as his arms were crossed behind his head.

Yet another year had gone, and it looked like there would be a new country and new challenges to face in the year ahead. But this time he wouldn’t be alone, he’d have someone to face them with him. His lover (and future husband? The thought made him smile.) would be by his side. Life didn’t get much better than this.

About the Author

S. Blaise
has loved reading and creating stories for as long as she can remember, but first got into the “male romance” genre through fanfiction. She found slash and yaoi quite by accident (honest!) and began voraciously reading stories online in many fandoms, finally getting up the courage to have a go at writing some fan fics herself before shifting to original fiction. She has lived on both sides of the Atlantic and so can write about Caribbean summers as easily as Scottish winters, since she has experienced both.
