I know youwill. Caleb sensed there was a deeper meaning to Samuel s words, but the effects of their intenseactivities had left him exhausted, his mind depleted of thought.Whatever was behind those wordswould have to wait until morning for greater in-depth scrutiny. Chapter 15 Things Of TomorrowSeth slid his fingers lovingly through Horatio s soft, dark hair.The man s sleeping form wasshadowed in the growing darkness of the bedroom.It wasn t all that late; night hadn t even set incompletely.But the stress and tension of the day had hit Horatio hard, as Seth suspected it had theothers as well.He d seen it Max s eyes, and in the overall demeanor of all those in the courtroomwho were there for Abel.But Horatio s and Max s stress stemmed from a much deeper issue.His head on his pillow, Seth continued to stroke his fingers in Horatio s hair as he watched himsleep.His strands remained damp from their passionate love making.It was an amazing experience tobe made love to by this man.But Seth understood that, in the height of passion, Horatio s mind wouldalways take him back to Max, and regardless of who was in his arms  his heart saw them as Max.Though this time, at that moment of release, Horatio had refrained from crying out Max s name Seth had still sensed it there, on the tip of his tongue.He had told Seth he didn t want him to be Max,but to just be Seth.And on the surface, Horatio meant it sincerely.But Seth had seen the look inHoratio s eyes when he d told him what Max had said.After all this time, Horatio still needed toknow that it had been a struggle for Max to leave him.Just from his one conversation with Max, Sethwas certain that Horatio couldn t possibly look the man in the eye and not know how hard it had beenfor him to walk away.But doubts and fears had a way of building up over a twenty year stretch.Horatio s heart remained tender, wounded.and he needed to  hear that he hadn t been so easilytossed aside.Warm tears slipped from Seth s eyes and seeped into the satin pillow.
