Adam looked at Shawn with more questions than answers. "How do you know these thing? How do you even know me? I have never seen you before...today." Adam asked.

Shawn took Adam by his hands and held them gently. "I know you because Jeff showed you to me in my dreams." Shawn stated as if it was the most normal thing. Adam took a step back from Shawn yanking his hands away not believing what he was hearing.

"Wha...what? Jeff is, he's dead. He and my baby boy are both gone. Some...one kil...killed them. They slashed Jeff's throat, and suff...suffocated my...son." Adam explained through horrid breath taking sobs.

"The police came and allowed me to bury them by...our cabin home. Someone took...them from me. How can Jeff tell you anything? He's DEAD!" Adam cried.

Shawn's statement had brought back all the memories and feelings that happened on that horrible night.

Shawn sighed he didn't want to hurt the beautiful young man before him. All he wanted was to make Adam see that his life was to be better and everything would be alright.

"Adam, I didn't set out to hurt you. Please listen to what I have to say. If you chose to leave and never see me again then so be it, but please just hear me out." Shawn pleaded. He felt as if Adam already owned his heart and he did not want to lose him.

Adam didn't know what to do he was torn, Jeff was where is heart had laid for so many years but in just one touch a whole new world had trickled open. 1a world that Justin's touch never had.

"Alright I will listen to you." Adam said. "Good Thank you. Let's go somewhere else and talk though ok? I don't think the police station parking lot is a good place for this." Shawn stated. Adam nodded his head in agreement.

They climbed back into Shawn's car and Shawn drove them to a nearby lake. The lake had small travel paths for bird watching and nature hikes. Adam felt at ease there, for he always loved the woods but now they were tainted with the deaths of his loved ones.

"This place is beautiful. I never knew it was here before. How did you find it?" Adam asked. Shawn just gave him the sweetest smile in response. "Jeff" Adam stated and Shawn nodded in confirmation. "Alright tell me." Adam said, really wanting to hear what this gentle man had to say.

Shawn and Adam began to walk down a path that would lead them to the lake. "I was born in Texas but I moved to California to work. I'm a freelance photographer and I loved the beaches there. That's where I lived up until two months ago. It was Jeff that brought me here." Shawn began to explain.

Adam slowed his walking at Jeff's name. Jeff had never been to California or Texas. Jeff had been born in North Carolina and moved to Connecticut to be a graphic artist for the Ad agency. That was where Adam had met Jeff and fell in love.

They had married two years later and one year after that Adam Nero Copeland was born. Jeff was thrilled the day Adam had given birth to their beautiful baby boy God had blessed them with. Only A mad man had other plans and took Jeff and Addy away.

"Shawn please I need to know what this is all about. I don't even know you but that doesn't scare me. You said Jeff showed me you in your dreams. But first I need to know something that only I would know so I can believe you. Do you understand what it is I'm trying to say." Adam asked. He wanted to believe the handsome man who he had saved him in his dreams.

Shawn smiled the sweetest smile remembering the last dream he had had about Jeffrey Hardy Copeland. "Well um ok. You have a scar right above your right rear. It had been snowing outside and you slid on some ice and when you landed it was on a jagged rock. Jeff said you had complained about him being a pain in your ass for weeks while your stitches healed, because it had been Jeff you were chasing after by the cabins lake." Shawn stated.

Tears filled Adam's eyes at the memory he had long forgotten, and true for Shawn, Adam did have a small scar from the stitches just above his right butt cheek.

"There was no one around but just Jeff and I. Addy was conceived the night the stitches were removed. We lay in front of the fireplace on a bearskin rug my father had given us as a wedding gift." Adam said sadly as the memory he had buried along with his husband and newborn son came back to his mind.

"Adam I know you loved them and they loved you but Jeff wants you to be happy." Shawn said. Shawn stopped walking, he wanted Adam to look him in the eyes when he said what he was about to say.

"Please look me in the eyes when I tell you this and you will see the truth behind them." Shawn asked. Adam stood before him as the search for truth began. Adam did not have to search long.

"About six months ago I started having these dreams. A man with blue and green hair would just show up in flashes with a rainbow over him. A month later he began to speak and we would talk. One night in the dreams he had a baby in his arms and finally he introduced himself to me as Jeff and his son Addy." Shawn said and then his expression changed.

"Jeff began to tell me about the babies father and what a wonderful man he was and how sad they are that they left you all alone. That was the first night Jeff showed you to me. He had asked me touch baby Addy's hand because Addy wanted to show me his mommy." Tears filled Shawn's eyes as he went on to explain.

"I touched his tiny hand and before me came the most breath taking human being I had ever seen. Adam I touched you through his hand and you touched my heart." Shawn said in the most sincere and honest tone he could project.

"Two months ago I couldn't take it anymore and I had to find you. I packed up my belongings and moved out here in search of the man from my dreams. Adam that man was you. I found you a month later after I found the courage to speak to you. I'm sorry for just springing this on you. I know this must be alot to take in but Adam you need to know this most of all. I am in love you. I've loved you for what has felt a lifetime. The moment I touched your hand my heart opened for the first time." Shawn said.

Shawn waited for what Adam might say. He had said all he could and opened his heart. All he could do now was wait for the younger man to decide what to do next. Shawn was hopeful though because behind Adam's scared eyes were something else. A light that spoke hope and love.

"I I believe you. I do. I look in your eyes and see only truth." Adam said as he looked Shawn in the deep eyes he was so lost in. Shawn leaned his head forward and Adam met his lips with his own.

A feeling neither one of them could explain happened when their lips touched for the first time. It was as if they had been made for one another and were meant to be together for longer than a lifetime. This feeling took both of their breaths away.

They kissed deeply, searching, tasting and exploring the other. Adam was the first to pull back from the life changing kiss. He looked Shawn in the eyes and in a voice from heaven said the words Shawn so longed to hear.

"I love you too. I can't explain it, but it feels like everything in my life is fresh and brand new. For the first time in years I am...Alive. I'm alive Shawn and I want to live my life with you."

"As do I Adam. Adam would you marry me? Be mine and start a long life with me? I I hope this is not too soon and that I'm not scaring you off and that I can make you happy and that..." Shawn's rambling was cut off by a pair of plump warm lips that had found his own.

Adam kissed Shawn deeply then found the strength to pull away. "I know this is crazy but I can't help how I feel right now. I know we just physically met but mentally we are one forever. So yes Shawn I will marry you, and yes I will start a long life with you. This is not too soon and you are not scaring me off. I have no doubt in my mind that you will make me happy. Now kiss me my Southern savior." Adam proclaimed.

Both men had tears of overwhelming love falling from their eyes as they kissed. They knew they were truly one. "Make love to me?" Adam asked shyly. It had been so long since he had been with another man sexually and he was beyond shy.

"I would love too my blonde one but I have no lube and I know it has been a while for you. I wish not to hurt you." Shawn replied. He wanted so badly to give his dream what he asked for.

"Please Shawn I want to feel you. I can handle it, if you hurt me I will ask you to stop but please make love to me." Adam pleaded. He felt the pull of lust and longing, he needed to have Shawn in him. Yes it had been too long but he needed this.

"Shhh Calm love, I will take care of you, no need to tremble." Shawn stated as he noticed the slight tremble from the passion Adam had held.

Shawn removed his shirt and laid it on the ground. Adam began to remove his button down shirt. Both men had left their suit coats in the car. Shawn couldn't help but drool as Adam unbuttoned the shirt on by one. Before to long both men stood naked in the secluded woods admiring the beauty of the other.

Shawn took Adam in his arms their cock rubbing together and touching for the first time. It took all the strength Shawn had not to ravish and claim Adam right there.

Adam kissed Shawn as their hands explored. Shawn reached around to the back of Adam and gently pushed one finger into him but not before running his hand over the scar right above Adam's right ass cheek. A smile played on Shawn's lips as he thought about that dream.

"Relax baby I want this to be good for you." Shawn cooed as he pushed another finger into Adam. Adam gasped a bit at the intrusion. "We can stop if you wish." Shawn said. "No please...need this." Adam stated.

"I think this would easier on you and less painful if you set the pace. I will sit down and you can ride me?" Shawn suggested. Adam bit his lower lip and nodded. Shawn removed his fingers from Adam and sat down on his shirt that lay on the ground beside of a tree.

Shawn leaned back against the tree. Adam noticed the concerned look on his face. "Do you not wish to do this?" Adam asked.

"Oh God no! I long too. I just don't want to hurt you. If we had some kind of lube I would feel much more at ease though." Shawn said out of worry for his new lover. One who had not been intimate with another man for such a long time.

Adam gave a pouty look but then a wide smile crossed his face. Shawn watched curiously as Adam looked around the trees surrounding them Adam picked a a green leaf and broke it in two. He smeared the liquid from it onto his hand and walked back over to Shawn.

"Will this do. It's Aloe Vera." Adam explained. Shawn nodded with a big smile and Adam began to rub the ointment on Shawn's cock.

"Mmmn God Adam feels so good. If you don't stop that I will cum before we even make it to the good stuff." Shawn stated, his cock was rock hard and he longed to fill Adam up with it.

"May I have you in me now?" Adam asked his cock craving it's own release. Shawn could only nod in response. Adam climbed on top of Shawn facing him. Shawn held his rock hard cock up for Adam to sit on.

"Take it slow baby, I don't wish for it to be painful." Shawn stated. Adam held his breath as he spread his cheeks apart and lined his pucker with Shawn's cock. He gently lowered himself down onto Shawn's cock until he was fully sheathed over it.

"So full...So big." Adam finally managed to say, Shawn felt amazing inside of him, he felt so connected.

Shawn couldn't help but push his hips up, Adam felt wonderful around him, and for him it had also been a long time since he had any sexual encounter.

Adam kissed Shawn deeply and rode Shawn's cock in the slow act of making love. "You feel so amazing my blond one. I'm going to cum soon baby can't hold it back." Shawn warned.

Shawn reached out and took Adam's cock into his hand and began to rub it up and down. "Ahh mmmm need to ride you. Fast, hard..." Adam cried and did just that. He cried out as Shawn's cock hit his prostate.

Adam rose up and down on Shawn's shaft and before too long both men came crying out in love and release.

"I saw you in my dreams too Shawn. You saved me from men hurting me. You were and are my Southern Savior." Adam whispered and held onto Shawn. Shawn smiled for he knew that dream, and it was him who had saved his love.

They held on to one another until they had to leave and go back to the office.

Adam and Shawn made their way into the building and back into the office where Justin was waiting. From the moment Justin saw them he knew something in Adam had changed. That the two men were in love. Love radiated from them.

With evil in his eyes and hatred in his heart he sat out to put his final plan in motion.

If he couldn't have Adam completely then no one can...
