Fractured Time Chapter I – The Fire That Never Goes Out
San Francisco, October 12, 2026.
The morning sunlight poured through the windows of the Pacific Heights penthouse, turning the dark oak floor a warm golden color. The huge open-plan space was minimalist yet deeply homey: cream-colored walls where Adrian sometimes scribbled physics equations with a marker when inspiration struck at night. In the middle of the living room stood the pristine white grand piano — Mason’s gift for their second wedding anniversary — and next to it a deep, comfortable sofa with a tangled blanket and Mason’s leather jacket from the night before. The smell of fresh coffee drifted from the kitchen counter, and on the fridge a magnet held their favorite photo: the two of them on Maui two years ago, naked on the beach, laughing.
Dr. Adrian Vale stood in front of the bedroom mirror, slowly buttoning his white shirt. He was thirty years old, but his body looked like it had been sculpted by a Renaissance artist — only much hairier. His chest and stomach were covered by a thick, dark, almost black pelt of hair that started at his collarbones, ran in a heavy trail down his abs, past his navel, and continued lower, hidden now by his pants. His arms were strong, forearms covered in the same dark hair, and his fingers were long and elegant — the same fingers that spent every day unraveling the secrets of the universe. His hair was dark brown, slightly wavy, still damp from the shower. His eyes were a deep, hypnotic blue. When he smiled, his whole face softened.
“Coming home early today,” he murmured to himself as he slipped on his jacket. He had an important presentation at the lab, but his thoughts were already circling around Mason.
At Travis Air Force Base, about sixty kilometers north, Captain Mason was pulling on his flight suit. He was twenty-five but already one of the Air Force’s most respected fighter pilots. He was taller than Adrian, broader-shouldered, with sun-bronzed skin. His hair was a lighter brown, wavy, always a little messy from the helmet. His face was pure masculine beauty: strong jaw, full smiling lips, and that boyish sparkle in his hazel-green eyes that made everyone like him instantly. His chest and stomach were just as wildly hairy as Adrian’s — a thick, dark pelt covering hard, sculpted muscles, and below his waistband hung the heavy, thick cock that Adrian could never get enough of.
His colleague, Ryan, another pilot, walked into the locker room.
“Hey, Mason! You coming out for beers with us tonight, or is the doc waiting at home again?”
Mason grinned as he zipped up his suit.
“Sorry, Ryan. The doc is more important than any beer. We have a romantic dinner at La Trattoria tonight. And after that… well, you know the rule: if Adrian’s smiling, I’m happy.”
Ryan laughed and slapped him on the shoulder.
“You two are like a damn romance movie. But seriously, I’m happy for you guys. Give him a kiss from me too.”
Mason just nodded and glanced at his watch. Six hours and he’d be home.
Adrian spent the morning at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His colleagues — Dr. Elena Ramirez, the quantum physicist, and Dr. Michael Torres, the young theorist — were already waiting in the conference room.
Elena greeted him with a smile.
“Adrian, are you always this radiant in the morning? Or is it just because Mason is coming home early again?”
Adrian laughed and set down his laptop.
“Both. Mostly Mason. Last night… never mind. Today I want the presentation to be perfect.”
Michael grinned.
“Husband who’s a fighter pilot, physicist who’s madly in love… you guys are our favorite power couple. When’s the next barbecue on your rooftop terrace? My wife still talks about the last one.”
“How about next weekend?” Adrian suggested. “Bring the kids too. Mason loves grilling.”
The morning flew by. Adrian immersed himself in work, but every half hour he checked his phone. Mason had sent a message: “Can’t wait for tonight. Love you, baby.”
Adrian’s heart swelled.
In the afternoon Mason was on a short training flight. When he landed, the ground crew was waiting. An older technician who had worked on the base for ten years called out to him:
“Captain, you flew like a man in love again today. Careful — too much happiness might distract you!”
Mason laughed and removed his helmet.
“Too late, George. It already distracts me. But that’s exactly why I’m good.”
Seven o’clock in the evening. The terrace of La Trattoria del Mare overlooked the bay at Fisherman’s Wharf. The sun was just setting, painting the sky in orange and pink, while the lights of the Golden Gate Bridge began to glow. Their favorite table in the corner was waiting: candlelight, white tablecloth, fresh flowers.
Mason was already there when Adrian arrived. He stood up, pulled Adrian into his arms, and kissed him deeply — not caring who saw. His hand rested on Adrian’s lower back, fingers tracing his spine.
“I missed you today,” Mason murmured against his lips, forehead resting against Adrian’s. “I was thinking about you the whole time in the cockpit.”
Adrian’s hand rested on Mason’s chest, feeling the thick hair beneath the thin shirt.
“I missed you too. I messed up my calculations three times at the lab because I kept thinking about what you’re going to do to me tonight.”
The waiter, a young Italian man they had known for years, approached with a smile.
“Signori Vale and Captain! Your usual table, usual wine? And shall I bring oysters? I know the Captain loves them.”
“Thank you, Marco,” Mason laughed. “And bring two servings of tiramisu at the end. We’re celebrating tonight.”
“What are we celebrating?” Adrian asked when Marco left.
“That we’re alive. That we’re together. That I love you more every single day.”
The dinner was slow and sensual. Wine, oysters, fresh pasta, laughter. They talked about everything: Adrian’s latest theory, Mason’s upcoming flight, their shared future.
“I was thinking…” Mason began, his hand sliding under the table to Adrian’s thigh. “Next month we could rent that little house on Maui. Just the two of us. Ocean, sun, no clothes. You and me in bed or on the beach all day. What do you say?”
Adrian’s eyes lit up.
“Only if you promise to wake me up every morning the way you usually do.”
Mason grinned wickedly.
“I promise. And even dirtier than that.”
They walked home through the cool evening air, hand in hand. The streets of Pacific Heights were quiet. Mr. Kowalski, the building superintendent, was locking the gate when they arrived.
“Good evening, boys!” he called cheerfully. “I see you’re happy as always. Don’t forget, I installed new lights on the rooftop terrace — perfect for romantic evenings!”
“Thanks, Mr. Kowalski!” Mason called back, wrapping his arm around Adrian.
Their neighbor, Mrs. Patel, who was walking her dog, waved with a smile.
“You two give hope to the whole building,” she said, laughing.
They barely made it through the door.
Mason pulled Adrian against him, pressed him to the wall, and kissed him fiercely. His tongue dove deep, his hands already unbuttoning Adrian’s shirt. Clothes fell to the floor — jacket, shirt, pants, everything.
“Shower,” Adrian gasped between kisses.
The bathroom was spacious, with a large glass-walled shower and rainfall showerhead. The hot water cascaded over them instantly. Mason stood behind Adrian, his massive, hairy chest pressed against Adrian’s back. His thick, hard cock throbbed hotly between Adrian’s ass cheeks.
Adrian leaned back with a moan. Mason’s hands roamed everywhere: over his chest, fingers tangling in the thick hair, down his stomach, then lower, where Adrian was already fully hard. Mason’s fingers wrapped around him, stroking slowly and sensually.
“You’re so beautiful,” Mason growled in his ear, biting his shoulder. “I love it when you tremble for me like this.”
Adrian could only moan in response.
Mason soaped them both. His hands were everywhere: on Adrian’s muscular, hairy ass, between his thighs, then one finger slipped carefully but firmly inside him. Adrian groaned and pushed back.
“Mason… please…”
Mason turned him around, lifted one of his legs, and knelt in front of him under the water. The hot streams ran down his hairy chest. His mouth closed around Adrian’s cock — deep, wet, hungry. His tongue swirled, sucked, licked. Adrian’s hand tangled in Mason’s hair, his hips rocking forward.
But Mason didn’t let him finish that way. He stood up, turned Adrian around again, and pressed him against the shower wall. His thick, wet cock nudged against Adrian’s entrance.
“You ready for me, baby?”
“Always,” Adrian breathed.
Mason pushed in slowly but relentlessly, inch by thick, hot inch, until he was buried to the hilt. Adrian’s mouth fell open, his eyes closing in pure pleasure. Mason wrapped his arms around him from behind, one hand on Adrian’s chest, fingers buried in the dense hair, the other stroking Adrian’s cock in rhythm.
Then he started moving.
First slow and deep, then faster, harder. Their wet bodies slapped together under the water, the sound of water, moans, and skin filling the bathroom. Mason growled, his hips pounding.
“Yes… fuck me… harder,” Adrian begged.
Mason’s thrusts became animalistic. Adrian’s body tensed, his inner walls clenched tightly around Mason, and long, hot spurts painted the shower wall. Mason followed moments later — burying himself deep and coming hard inside Adrian, trembling, groaning his name.
They stayed like that for long minutes, wrapped around each other as the water continued to fall. Mason was still inside him, gently kissing Adrian’s neck, shoulders, and nape.
“I love you,” he whispered over and over.
Adrian turned his head and kissed him.
“I love you too. Always.”
Later, lying naked in bed, tangled together, Adrian rested his head on Mason’s hairy chest, fingers playing in the thick fur.
The world outside was quiet. Only the two of them existed.
And the fire between them would never go out.
Nice read!
Oh boy it’s always a storm on the horizon. Such a happy loving couple.. Now what could possibly go wrong? The shower over flows into the lower apartments?. It did run for a while.
