When Dreams Come to Life by H.M. Boatman

happy and content Eoin looks in the mountains. He reminds me of myself. There’s something about them that just makes you feel at one with nature… more so than anything I’ve ever seen.
    Eoin comes up to me and gives me this hug that’s just sweet and sensual at the same time… He’s so unnerving but in such a great way.
    We pull into Estes and I tell them that they get to pick the restaurant and order my meal this time. I see smiles across the board and it makes me beam.
    We end up at a small diner, one I know. I say nothing, knowing it’s great and that Derik and Crystal are very well familiar with it as well.
    As we sit, I toy with Eoin, playing with his feet and nudging him with my shoulder. He orders me French toast with two eggs over easy and bacon ! He orders the same for himself but gets pancakes, too.
    “Breakfast for dinner?” he questions, like he’s asking for my approval.
    “The best kind of dinner,” I reply with a smile. The doors to the diner open and Crystal walks in, plonking herself down next to me. Vicki must have called her while I was busy giving Eoin goo-goo eyes.
    “How was the hike?” she asks but before I can get a word out, Vicki jumps in.
    “Good. Lea tried to get her rocks off in a meadow but we interrupted her and Eoin.” For a minute there’s an awkward silence, then we all burst out laughing.
    “Thanks, Vicki. You sure know how to have a nice dinner conversation.” I stick my tongue out at her and she returns it.
    “Crystal, do you feel better?” Eoin politely asks, making me feel like a jerk for not asking when she sat down.
    “Much better, Eoin. Thank you for asking,” she replies, emphasizing the last part as she looks at me.
    “Sorry, dude. I’m glad you feel better! Now, I can get you entirely too drunk tonight.” I have a huge cheesy grin on my face. She laughs.
    “Sounds like a plan to me,” she replies, smiling. We finish up and head to a local bar, The Wheel Bar. Derik has invited his friend, Chris, along to set up with Crystal so she’s not alone tonight with couples.
    He walks up and we do introductions around the table. I glance over at her and she’s very pleased. He’s tall with dark hair and green eyes, very nice and dressed to the nines. I smile at Crystal as he sits down next to her and they begin to talk.
    I glance over at Eoin and catch him watching me.
    I smile and ask, “Having a good time?”
    “Very much so. This is great and all of your friends are wonderful. I wish we could’ve finished what we started in the meadow, though.” My face instantly heats up and I look down at my hands. He lifts my face up to meet his eyes.
    “I’m going to get up and head towards the restroom. Wait a minute and then follow.” His look is almost primal… Demanding and sexy as fuck.
    “I’ll be right behind you,” I whisper.
    Kissing me, he stands and I see that instead of going right, he walks straight out the front doors. Oh hell! I excuse myself but Crystal is so into Chris that she doesn’t even notice. Vicki and Derik, on the other hand, have a knowing look on their faces. I wave them off and head out the doors.
    I look around but don’t see him. Off to my right there is a wooded area so I head in that direction. I enter the trees, looking around… What the? Eoin grabs me from behind, making my heart jump into my throat. Turning me, he pulls me into a passionate kiss. Now my heart is going to explode!
    I put my hands in his hair and then move down to touch his face, continuing down to slide them under his shirt. I lift it up over his head and he does the same with mine, taking my bra off with it. The cool breeze hardens my nipples.
    Oh, his hands all over my skin feel so amazing.  I throw my head back as he bites down my neck and then to my breasts. He teases one of my nipples and I can’t help but let out a moan. The constant shifting from warm mouth to cool breeze feels fantastic.
    As he kisses his way back up to my neck, I unbutton his
