Epilogue:

Five years later...

"Seriously Dad, he won't say no." Fourteen year old Josh laughed as he looked out of the window. "Relax."

"What if he does?" Adrian groaned.

He really didn't know why he was so scared. But he just was. What if Oliver turned down his proposal? The past five years of being together had been pure bliss. Adrian sometimes felt as though he were high on drugs. He felt on top of the world...as if he could conquer anything with Oliver beside him. The feeling was almost euphoric. Oliver did that to him. Yes, they had their share of arguments and fights like any other couple but their love had grown stronger and stronger over the years. Oliver was his world. Adrian had decided to make their relationship legal. Though their relationship was very strong, Adrian felt that was the only way he could completely have Oliver as his. He was finally ready to take that plunge but...he was terrified. Not because he thought he was doing the wrong thing. Hell no! Adrian's problem was that he was scared of rejection.

Adrian could picture Oliver saying something like... 'We are happy as we are now. Why change it?' Adrian didn't want to hear anything like that. Josh, Pearl, his mother, Jason, and Oliver's parents knew what Adrian planned on doing that day. Oliver had been out of the country for two weeks on business and was to come back home that afternoon. Upon seeing how panicky Adrian was, Jason had insisted on picking Oliver from the airport himself, to give Adrian some time to compose himself. It hadn't worked. Adrian never thought asking such a simple question could be so terrifying. He'd never had to ask Donna because it had been assumed that they would get married. They'd simply planned and done it. This time however felt so...different, important and scary...and Adrian was dying of anxiety.

"They're here." Nine year of Pearl screamed excitedly when she saw Jason's car pass through the gate.

They'd all missed Oliver so much. That was the longest he'd been away from home. He'd travelled to India to handle the work of a big client. He usually travelled on business for a maximum of one week. He would just see to the main work and leave the rest to his subordinates. His latest job had however been a major one. Oliver therefore had to stay longer. Adrian had insisted he travelled on his private jet but Oliver hadn't thought it was necessary as he was going to be away for a whole two weeks. Adrian and the kids had been so miserable at Oliver's absence that Adrian had planned to fly to India with the kids to see Oliver, had it become necessary for him to stay longer than the two weeks. He couldn't be happier Oliver hadn't had to.

"Careful, Princess." Adrian called out to Pearl but she didn't slow down at all as she ran to where Jason had parked his car.

They lived in a house that Adrian had purchased when he'd started dating Oliver. It was just as big and classically beautiful as the house he'd shared with Donna. The only difference was that it didn't have that magical garden the other one had. Adrian hadn't sold that house though. It was being used as a guest house and was virtually always fully booked due to that spectacular garden.

"Dad, you're sweating." Josh's eyes widened in surprise. "I'm so gonna laugh at you after all this." He chuckled.

"Shut up Josh." Adrian growled as they both stared out the window at Oliver carrying a laughing Pearl on his back. Mark, who was following them with Oliver's bags, was laughing too. Their laughter was so infectious, father and son laughed too. "Okay, here goes..."

When Oliver entered the foyer, his eyes went straight to Adrian's. He couldn't help but notice how tensed he looked. But he also couldn't help but appreciate his man's sexy look. Only Adrian could manage to make the casual attire of shorts and t-shirt look stunning. The man looked hot in anything. He seemed to be getting even sexier as the years went by.

"Welcome back Uncle Olly." Josh said, skipping towards Oliver.

Oliver tore his eyes from Adrian's with difficulty and helped Pearl down from his back. "Hey Josh." He grinned as he hugged Josh. "I can't believe I won the bet." Oliver laughed when Josh groaned.

Josh had bragged that he was going to get to the end of a particular game before Oliver's return. Oliver rightly assumed that Josh hadn't succeeded since he hadn't called him whilst he was in India to gloat about his success.

"Just give me till tomorrow morning." Josh said with confidence. "I will defeat that silly giant and get to the end. I missed you, Uncle Olly." He added with a wide grin.

"Me too..." Pearl screeched, hugging Oliver."

"You two have no idea just how much I missed you." Oliver drew Josh into the hug. "Hope you were good for Daddy."

"You know we were." Josh grinned. "Just as we know that this particular bag is filled with stuff for us." He said, grabbing the handle of Oliver's big rolling duffel bag and pulling it out of the hand of an amused Mark. "I'll take that Mark. The stuff in here is for Shorty and I." He said and then promptly rolled his eyes when his sister immediately protested at being called shorty.

"Josh..." Oliver admonished, but then couldn't help the smile that brightened his face as he watched Josh and Pearl easily maneuver the bag up the stairs. Of course he'd informed them when he'd called them from the Indira Gandhi International Airport the day before that his big duffel bag was filled with stuff he'd gotten for them. "Please take the other bags to the bedroom, Mark. Thanks."

He turned his eyes onto Adrian who looked almost frozen in the middle of the foyer. God, he'd missed him so fucking much. Two whole weeks away for home...from the love of his life...from Josh and Pearl who he loved as if they were his... Never again. Next time, he would either go with Adrian or come back home in between. He never wanted to put himself through such torture again. Oliver started towards Adrian.

"Hey." He whispered when he got to Adrian, his hand moving up to cup his cheek. Adrian's eyes fluttered close as he turned his face into the caress.

"Hey." He pressed a kiss into Oliver's palm.

"Are you alright?" Oliver asked softly. At Adrian's nod, he smiled. "I missed you so much."

With a groan, Adrian dipped his head and took Oliver's lips in a kiss of such gentleness that it made Oliver melt inside. Quivering in response beneath the gentle onslaught, Oliver kissed him back with everything in him, moaning as their tongues tangled in a fast dance. How the fuck had he survived for two weeks without these lips, Oliver thought as he lost himself in the kiss. After what seemed like hours, they came up for a much needed air.

"Next time I'm going with you." Adrian growled against Oliver's kiss-swollen lips. "You have no idea how difficult these past..."

"I do actually." Oliver murmured breathlessly, scattering tiny kisses all over Adrian's face. "I couldn't stand being apart from you for that long." He muttered amidst kisses. "I missed you terribly." His skin had longed to feel Adrian's touch, and his eyes had wished to gaze into his. "All that phone sex helped but...I wanted you in my bed." Oliver murmured, making Adrian laugh softly.

"Those were more like Skype-sex." Adrian rasped, a shudder passing through him when he recalled some of their intense sessions. "Fuck, you're sinful." He moaned. "I lost count of the number of times we..." He trailed off when Oliver burst into laughter.

"Yeah, and you're such a perv." Oliver sucked Adrian's lower lip into his mouth. "I didn't know my hole was such a turn on for you." He murmured against Adrian's lips, recalling how hard Adrian had shot his load when he'd exposed his twitching hole to him in one of their sessions.

"Everything about you is a turn on for me, love." Adrian laughed shakily. "I'm so hot for you right now." He growled into Oliver's ear, his voice husky with want.

"Fuck." Oliver breathed, stepping out of Adrian's embrace with an effort when he noticed Mark coming down the stairs.

"Thanks Mark." Adrian said as Mark passed them on his way out.

"Anytime Doc." Mark grinned. "Welcome back Oliver. The house wasn't the same without you."

Oliver laughed breathlessly. "Thanks Mark. Good to know my absence was felt."

"Oh it was, trust me." Mark drawled. "The good doctor was a mess."

"Fuck you Mark." Adrian growled as Mark and Oliver laughed. They could still hear Mark's laughter even from outside.

"If it's any consolation, I was also a mess." Oliver said softly, his eyes still twinkling with mirth. "I want to ravish you so bad right now." He said huskily. "Maybe I should eat. Is it ready? I decided not to eat on the plane because I didn't want to fill my stomach with any..."

"Are you very hungry?" Adrian asked, the undercurrents of arousal in his voice making Oliver's blood hum.

"Nope." Oliver shook his head. "I just wanted to eat to get my mind off what I really want." He grinned. "The kids are around and I need to spend time with them."

"I need to ask you something very important, Olly." Adrian's voice remained steady, but he was anything but calm.

"Shoot." Oliver folded his arms across his chest and stared intently at Adrian, who just looked back at him as though he'd forgotten what he wanted to ask.

After a moment, during which Oliver contemplated putting a shaky Adrian out of his misery, Adrian swallowed hard and reached out to take one of Oliver's hands so that he had to unfold his arms.

"Please don't say no, Olly..." Adrian started shakily instead of asking his question.

"Oh fuck..." Oliver groaned. "Yes, I'll marry you Adrian." He said dryly.

"What?" Adrian's gasped. "How did you... Really? You will? But how did...who told you? Jason?"

"You look so fucking adorable when you get flustered." Oliver grinned. "And no, Jason hasn't told me anything. I'm surprised to know he was even in on this. Is that why he's remained in the car pretending to be making an important call? The silly man." Oliver shook his head in amusement. "I'm guessing I never told you my mother is bad at keeping secrets..."

"Oh fuck." Adrian groaned.

"Looks like she actually did you a favour though. You were beginning to turn green." Oliver grinned. "Now I know one more thing that you suck at besides grieving. Proposing." Oliver laughed when Adrian flipped him off.

"You have no idea how happy and relieved I am right now." Adrian said softly, his eyes suspiciously bright. "Thank you Oliver."

Oliver shrugged. "I can't imagine not spending every day of every year forever with you. So thank you for asking. No scratch that...you didn't have the balls to..." Oliver burst into delighted laughter when Adrian suddenly grabbed his wrist and drew his hand to his crotch to rub his balls through his shorts.

"What does that feel like if not balls?" Adrian husked and then promptly moaned when Oliver squeezed his cock.

"Christ, you have nothing on beneath these shorts." Oliver gasped, stroking Adrian's rapidly hardening dick through his shorts. "You're such a slut."

"Fuck, that feels so good." Adrian moaned huskily, thrusting into Oliver's touch.

"Did he say yes?" Josh asked excitedly as he bounded down the stairs, his sister hot on his heels.

Adrian quickly turned Oliver around to face the kids, using him as a shield for his aroused body. "Yes." Adrian answered with a breathless laughter. "He said yes." He rubbed Oliver's shoulders as he watched his kids dash towards him and Oliver.

"Well, he..." Oliver began but gasped when Josh and Pearl slammed into him, hugging him tightly. "He didn't even ask." He grunted.

"Shut up Oliver." Adrian laughed as he wrapped his arms around his family. He felt like the luckiest man alive. "Thanks." He murmured against Oliver's temple. "I was so afraid you would say no."

"You big chicken." Oliver laughed, bending down to kiss Josh and Pearl who giggled delightfully. "So you kids..."

"Are spending the night at Jason's." Adrian cut in quickly just as Jason entered the foyer. "Pearl wants a sleep-over with Missy and Lisa, and Jason has promised to help Josh defeat some giant in some game. I believe you two had a bet..."

Oliver gave Adrian a brief suspicious stare, and then turned to glower at Jason. "You..."

"Said yes, didn't you?" Jason asked with an amused smirk.

"He did, Uncle Jace." Josh said excitedly.

"Congratulations." He grinned, then turned to the kids before Oliver and Adrian could respond. "You guys ready?"

"Yes." They both screamed and grabbed their backpacks off the glass table in the foyer. "See you Uncle Olly. See you Daddy." Josh added as he and Pearl ran towards the door.

"Josh, keep an eye on your sister please." Oliver called out to the two who were already rushing out the door. "I've missed them." He groaned, coiling both arms around Adrian's neck. "I wanted to spend time with them."

"You can do that another time." Jason drawled. "You have this whole house to yourselves tonight." He swung his arm in a wide arc. "I shudder to think about all the nasty business that's going to go down." He turned to go. "Hope you're on the pill Olly." He called over his shoulder.

"Fuck you Jace." Oliver laughed and then squealed like a girl when Adrian suddenly picked him up bridal style and started up the stairs.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, Olly. All four of us will be spending the day together." Adrian murmured, pressing a kiss against Oliver's mouth. "But tonight, I just want to be with my husband-to-be." Adrian kicked the door to their bedroom open. "Is that too much to ask?"

Oliver actually giggled. "No it's not." He laughed as Adrian set his feet gently on the ground. Oliver's arms remained around Adrian's neck, eyes filled with so much love smiling up at Adrian.

"God, I love you." Adrian husked. "If only you could see yourself through my eyes. Only then would you realize how special you are to me." He breathed. "Oliver..." He whispered with so much feeling and reverence Oliver's breathe hitched in his throat.

"Fuck, I love it when you say my name." Oliver moaned as Adrian walked him backwards towards the huge bed. Adrian was the kind of guy who made him love his name just by mentioning it. "Say it again." He whispered.

"Oliver..." The back of Oliver's legs touched the bed.

Oliver sat down on the bed and watched with a smitten smile on his face as Adrian pulled off his boots and socks. In no time at all, Adrian had stripped him out of everything, baring his hard leaking cock to the cool air in the room. Oliver moved back till he was in the center of the bed, grinning as he watched a still clothed Adrian crawl up after him till he knelt right on top of him, his knees on either side of Oliver's hips. Then he just stared down at Oliver.

"What are you doing?" Oliver whispered.

"I just want to look at you." Adrian whispered back. "Some years ago, just looking at you was okay for me." He pressed a soft kiss against Oliver's lips. "Because I hadn't tasted these lips." He dipped his head for a deeper kiss as his thumb and forefinger moved to grasp and roll a taut nipple. "Tonight, it's not enough."

"I was hoping you'd say that." Oliver moaned. "But if I remember correctly, unlike me, you never spared me a lustful thought before that first kiss."

"I think you're wrong there." Adrian husked. "The feelings were there, just not recognized. There was this time...this moment at the very beginning...before our first kiss, when I was walking away from you. You grabbed my hand and pulled me back to you. I thought you wanted to show me something. But you just looked at me. You really looked at me." Adrian looked lost in some memory. "That was the most perfect erotic moment of my life. And I sometimes feel like everything that has happened since then was...inevitable." He shrugged. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Olly."

"I remember that day." Oliver rasped around the lump inside his throat. "I meant to show you something. But then I made the mistake of looking at you and...you were so close. I got so giddy when you met my eyes, and then a simple glance turned into a stare I couldn't break." Oliver moaned as he recalled that feeling all those years ago. "I wanted to kiss you so bad but I couldn't...didn't want to freak you out." At Adrian's groan, Oliver smiled and kissed him softly. "You were straight and married remember?"

"Well, what's that saying? Que sera sera."

"Whatever will be, will be." Oliver translated with a nod. "I love you Adrian Graham. If life is for living, then I live mine for you, if it's for giving, then I give mine to you. And if hearts are for beating, then mine beats for you. I'll never stop loving you. Always and forever."

"Always and forever." Adrian choked.

"Now will you please make love to me?" Oliver purred seductively.

"Oh I intend to." Adrian chuckled. "Bad news is I plan on taking my time." He closed his teeth around a taut nipple and worried it deliciously.

"Oh my God..." Oliver gasped as his eyes fluttered close in ecstasy.

Adrian pulled off the nipple in his mouth and moved down Oliver's body. "Good news is we have all night." Oliver's throbbing cock jerked at the feel of Adrian's breath on its wet head. "I plan to use it." Adrian swallowed Oliver's cock to the hilt, loving the erotic cry that tore out of Oliver. He just loved how his man responded to him.

And the two lovers proceeded to show each other with their bodies, just how deep their love for each other ran. They fell in love when they shouldn't have. They had to face obstacles in their bid to be together. And after all the years, their love remained strong.

For Adrian and Oliver, love was their addiction to an eternal longing for each other...a thirst which they couldn't ever relinquish.
