"Sure you don't mind sharing the wedding spotlight with a gay couple?"

"Nope."

I pressed my naked body to Rich's chest, kissing him. His mouth devoured me the way I needed as he hardened beneath me, only his boxer briefs blocking us from satisfaction. I yanked at the elastic, but he stopped me.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"We can't."

Not again. "Are you serious?

"Yes." He pushed me off him.

"This is ridiculous." After a deep breath, I asked, "Please tell me why you won't have sex with me?"

"I ... I just don't want to."

Stupid answer. "That's your reason?"

"Yeah."

"Well, it's not all about what you want. What about what I want ... what I need? Maybe I need you to make love to me. To comfort me and remind me you love me and..." Why couldn't I be tear-free for one freakin' moment? "Maybe I need to know I'm not broken. Even though this horrible thing happened, I'm still ... useful."

Rich pulled me to him. "You are everything to me."

I kissed him, my lips traveling to his ear. "Make love to me."

It took him a few seconds to give his answer. "I ... I can't. I'm sorry."
