STORY EXCERPT

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but is Leighton’s heart beating inside you right now?”

Chester nodded slowly as he gauged Edison’s reaction. “Yes.”

Edison’s breath hitched a little. “H-how did you know? When did you know?”

“Yesterday afternoon inside the restroom here at the dessert shop.”

Edison’s eyes widened. “What?”

Chester swallowed through the lump in his throat. “I saw him.”

Edison seemed bewildered now. “Who?”

“Leighton.”

Edison looked enraged now as he glared at Chester. “That’s not funny at all.”

“I’m not joking,” Chester countered as he placed his palm over the back of Edison’s hand. “I know you find it hard to believe, but feel the beating of my heart. Not only with your palm, but also with your heart. Please look into my eyes.”

For the next few moments, the two of them gazed into each other’s eyes. Chester observed as Edison opened and shut his mouth over and over again until the man eventually managed to get the words out.

“Tell me about Leighton. Convince me.”

Chester inhaled and exhaled deeply as he chose his words carefully. “About a year ago, I got a call from Doctor Morris. She was the doctor in charge of my heart condition for many years. She informed me that a matching heart had been found, and I needed to be at the hospital as quickly as possible for a heart transplant. I’d been thinking about that day for hours last night before I fell asleep. I think I might have seen you at the hospital that day. You were crying as I was being wheeled into the theater for my transplant.”

Edison visibly stiffened, and Chester didn’t know if he should continue with the story. Edison cocked his head at Chester after a brief moment.

“I’m fine. Go ahead.”

“The first time Leighton appeared in front of me was inside the operating theater. He wore a white button-down shirt and a pair of light blue jeans. The top three buttons of his shirt were undone.”

Edison gaped at Chester. “He always said he liked it better that way.”

“Okay. He had blue eyes, and his hair was dark brown in color. My eyes are blue, too, but his eye color was much lighter than mine.”

Edison’s tears streamed down his cheeks now. “What about yesterday?”

“Leighton was inside the mirror, and he kept on touching his chest right above where his heart was supposed to be. Based on what I noticed inside the mirror, I believe he should be about two or three inches taller than me, and he definitely had a rather athletic build. I’m so skinny in comparison.”

Edison chuckled a little. “Leighton wasn’t as obsessed as me when it came to an exercise routine, but he liked to keep himself fit.”

Chester heaved out a soft sigh of relief. “So, do you really believe me?”

“I…I still find the entire story rather mind-boggling, but a part of me desperately hopes you’re telling the truth.”

Chester racked his brain, trying to search for clues from the various strange dreams and fragmented memories he had experienced ever since the heart transplant. He gasped under his breath when he suddenly recalled something important.

“Leighton had a nickname for you. He called you Bear-bear.” After that, Chester could feel Edison’s hand trembling again as he held it a little tighter. “That was you, wasn’t it?”

Edison was quiet for a brief moment as he shut his eyes. After what felt like an eternity, he eventually opened both of his eyes.

“Yeah. It had started out as an inside joke between us. He had this pair of cute bunny teeth, and I called him Bun-bun, which is supposed to be short for Bunny-bunny. In retaliation, he teased me for being too hairy. At first, he said I looked like a sexy gorilla. Then he—”

“He saw an adorable teddy bear on the television, and he changed his mind, nicknaming you Bear-bear instead.”

Edison gasped, and Chester felt a mixture of surprise, relief, and heartache when the larger man wrapped both arms around him. “Leighton, baby!”

Chester didn’t have the heart to correct Edison at all. Besides, he wasn’t sure who he was at the moment. He had all these foreign memories and feelings inside him, and as incredulous as it might be, he thought there was a high possibility that they belonged to Leighton. He tentatively raised his hands and embraced Edison gently. The two of them remained in that position for quite a while. When Edison eventually pulled away from him, he reached for the man’s hand and pressed it against his chest once again.

“Leighton really loved you. So much. On the night he got into that tragic accident, he had been on his way to surprise you. He had a birthday cake next to him inside the car. You were the last person he thought about as the life slipped away from him.”

Edison sobbed as he stood in front of Chester. “What were his last words? Did he have any?”

“I love you, Bear-bear. So much.”

ADULT EXCERPT

 “Anything to drink?” Chester asked as he led the way into his house while Edison tailed him about twenty inches behind him. “What about a quick tour of the house? I mean, it’s not an enormous house, but it’s quite spacious.”

Then he gasped when Edison suddenly tugged him close and kissed him for what felt like forever. When they eventually broke apart, they were both panting against each other’s lips.

“I don’t want to be rude. My parents brought me up to be a polite adult.”

“Okay, but?”

“But right now, I’m more interested in your bedroom.”

Chester chuckled nervously, especially when Edison smirked at him. “Okay. Uh, let me show you the way.”

“That will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.”

Chester could feel himself trembling a little as he made his way toward his bedroom. The last time he had sex with anyone, it was before his heart transplant a year ago, and he was only twenty-five years old then. In his twenty-six years of living on the planet, he had only been physically intimate with exactly three men, including Theo, his first and last ex-boyfriend. There was nobody else aside from them. Before Theo, he had attempted a couple of one-night stands, but he soon realized he wasn’t built that way. He couldn’t separate sex and tender affection, and he easily grew attached to people he had sex with. Hence, he promised himself he would never have purely physical relationships with any random men. He couldn’t deal with the aftermath. Unfortunately, his relationship with Theo didn’t turn out well either.

He hurriedly shook off all negative thoughts as he entered his bedroom. He reached for the buttons on his shirt, but he was so apprehensive about getting naked with Edison, he couldn’t get his hands to cooperate. He tried to simply pull his shirt off, but he failed, and his frustrations rose higher in the next instant. He was slightly taken aback when Edison chuckled softly from right behind him. He could feel Edison’s hands on his shoulders a second or two later. He was rather embarrassed when Edison started to work on his buttons, but he was also grateful. After what felt like an eternity, he was able to take his shirt off. He turned around immediately. Then he gasped when he saw Edison’s hairy, extremely muscular upper body. He lowered his gaze. Edison was fully naked, and Chester was both astonished and terrified when he noticed the size of his boyfriend’s dick. It was long, somewhere around nine inches. Maybe even nine and a half inches.

However, he was even more impressed by the girth of Edison’s cock. He wouldn’t be exaggerating if he claimed that it was a little bit thicker than a beer can. Even with the amount of bushy pubes that covered that incredible endowment, he could see the veins all over the entire length of Edison’s shaft. He gulped a couple of times when he noticed Edison’s cock pulsing hard and fast. He also never knew any man who could produce as much pre-cum as Edison obviously could. Edison’s cockhead, which was reddish-purple in color at the moment, was now glistening wet with the excessive amount of pre-cum coating it everywhere. Chester hesitated a little before taking his pants off. His dick wasn’t small. At six and a half inches long, it was nothing to scoff at, and it was also thick enough. It couldn’t compare to Edison’s cock, though.

“Wow!”

Edison snickered. “Do you like it, baby?”

Chester nodded in a hurry. “Absolutely.”

“Good. It’s all for you. Why don’t you get down on your knees and put it inside your mouth?”

Chester obliged. “Yes, Daddy.”

Edison groaned as he cupped both of Chester’s cheeks while the man glanced up at him. “Such a good boy. So obedient. Open wide now. That’s it. Oh, yeah. Slowly. Savor the taste of my cock and pre-cum. Do you like them? Are they delicious?”

Chester bobbed his head up and down slowly as he swallowed more of Edison’s cock. He continued to slide forward until he had the entirety of Edison’s cock down his throat. He deep-throated Edison’s dick, increasing the suction with every passing second. He could smell the musk all around Edison’s crotch region, and that aroused him further, making him even more determined to suck that much harder on Edison’s cock. He yearned to draw out every drop of cum that was stored inside Edison’s balls, but he didn’t want their first time together to end like that. He had other things in mind for their first lovemaking. He spat Edison’s dick out before glancing up at his boyfriend and grinning widely.

“I want to lick at your balls.”

Edison visibly shivered. “Be my guest.”

Chester chuckled as he pressed his nose against Edison’s throbbing shaft and inhaled deeply. “Fuck, Daddy. I love the scent coming from your cock and balls.”

“All for you, baby. Now, be a good boy and stick your tongue out. Lap all over my balls. Fuck! That’s it. Play with my balls.”
