Carlos awakened with a smile, feeling lazy and sated.

He loved touching Greg's skin. He loved simply being close to Greg, sharing the warmth of their bodies and the love in their hearts.

Carlos rolled over onto his side, looking down at the man sleeping beside him. Greg was turned away from him; they had been spooning with Carlos behind him, but he could still see the side view of his lover's face.

He could see the small smile that curved Greg's lips; his boyfriend was obviously dreaming about something that made him happy.

Seeing that smile made Carlos smile himself; he could never hold back his own smiles when he saw how happy Greg was with him. Even when his lover was sleeping, it felt as thought that happiness shone through.

And he himself was happier than he'd ever been in his entire life.

Every day with Greg was an adventure; he awoke in the morning feeling energized and refreshed, wondering what the day would bring them.

And when they were together in the physical sense, he had to admit that he had never known a lover who pleasured him as much as Greg did. It was as though their bodies had been made to fit together perfectly.

Their minds, bodies, hearts and souls had all connected to form a perfect whole, one that Carlos had never thought he would find.

How was it possible to love someone as much as he loved this man? he asked himself, one hand trailing down Greg's bare shoulder.

He loved touching his boyfriend; Greg had such soft skin, silken under his fingertips. He had never known anyone who made him hunger for the feel of their skin against his; the sensual need was almost overwhelming.

He didn't just love touching Greg; he needed to touch his boyfriend, needed to feel that warm, smooth flesh under his hands.

It wasn't just love or desire. It was a deep-seated need.

This need to touch Greg didn't just happen when they were in bed. He felt it every time he looked at his boyfriend, this need to be close.

As though Greg felt the same thing, he stirred and opened his eyes, turning his head to look up at Carlos .And when he smiled, the sight took Carlos' breath away. He had never seen such a smile, full of love and desire.

Greg rolled over so that they were facing each other, looking up at Carlos. "Hey, baby. Good morning," he whispered, his voice husky with sleep.

Carlos bent his head to capture Greg's lips in a kiss, knowing that no other words were needed between the two of them.

All they needed was the power of touch to light a fire within their hearts.
