Excerpt from: Painting the Desert by Sean Michael

Mr. Bartholomew Whittaker watched the kids go screaming out and shook his head. It was the same every spring; they all went just a little crazy. Spring fever might have been a cliché, but like with most clichés, it had something at its roots.

Of course he was experiencing a little spring fever himself.
He drove his little Toyota to the park near home, almost skipping as he walked toward the center of the green space. Raine had called and asked him to meet his lovers by the fountain.

The sun was warm and the earth fragrant with budding life.
Love was definitely in the air.

Grey was lying on the edge of the fountain, sunning, barefoot. Raine sat close by, reading aloud, eating grapes, feet in the water. Whit's dark haired lovers looked beautiful, so exotic, so fine. That hair was still all black, the mahogany faces smooth and sharp.

Impulsively, he snuck up on them and swept a hand through the water, splashing them.

Raine cried out; Grey just laughed, hand splashing him back without even opening those beautiful dark eyes. He laughed too, bending to kiss Grey's smiling mouth and then Raine's.
'Mmm...' Raine's eyes were shining, warm. 'Happy Friday, our Whit. How was your day?'
