Hard and swift. Just the way Marshall wanted and needed their lovemaking to be.
He lost himself in Lee, in the short hard strokes with which he pounded him into sweet oblivion. Lee held Marshall's legs in a firm grip, so Marshall took other matters into his own hands. He stroked his cock until he reached the precipice and then pushed himself over, crying Lee's name as he came. Lee continued to push inside him until he too reached the point of no return and filled Marshall with his hot seed. Afterward, spent, they wound their arms around one another and cuddled as they caught their breath.
"Happy anniversary, Lee," Marshall murmured, basking in the contented glow that stretched from one end of his body to the other.
"Back atcha," Lee replied. He lowered his head to tenderly nuzzle at Marshall's neck. "Never forget," he said softly, "I want to spend forever with you, and only you..."
"Me too," Marshall affirmed. He breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed into Lee's love.

Three weeks after their anniversary, it was time for Thanksgiving. This was a holiday they always spent with Roy, who joined them at their home for the occasion. Everyone had his part to play in preparing the meal. Lee roasted the turkey in the smoker, Marshall was responsible for side dishes and keeping the kitchen clean, while Roy's job was to provide dessert. Usually he brought a traditional pumpkin pie and whatever else tickled his fancy at the grocery store. And of course there would be plenty of beer. And football. Texas A&M was playing LSU that night, and they wouldn't miss that game for the world.
A light drizzle fell late morning, but Marshall knew a little bit of water wouldn't keep Lee from smoking the turkey. The smoker was under the overhang at the back of the house, well out of harm's way. Despite the drizzle, the temperatures were pleasant, especially for November. Marshall couldn't help but remember the deep snow that had often blanketed Fargo, and how much he'd hated it as a kid. Of course, that had a lot to do with the life he'd led with his mother.
