"Love in the Wyoming Wilderness"

Part 1

The sun was setting over the rolling hills of their 200-acre ranch, casting a warm orange glow over the rustic landscape. Ennis Del Mar, a rugged and masculine man in his mid-30s, stood at the edge of the porch, his worn denim jeans and faded plaid shirt a testament to his hardworking nature. His eyes, a deep shade of blue, watched as Jack Twist, his partner of two years, emerged from the kitchen, a fluffy white towel draped over his shoulder. Jack, with his lean physique and delicate features, moved with a quiet confidence that still made Ennis's heart skip a beat. His dark hair was messy, and his eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint as he caught Ennis staring. A sly smile spread across his face, and he sauntered over to Ennis, his hips swaying in a way that made Ennis's blood run hot. "Hey, sugar," Jack said, his voice low and husky, as he wrapped the towel around Ennis's neck and pulled him into a gentle kiss. Ennis's eyes closed, and he let out a soft moan, his body responding to Jack's touch like it always did. As they broke apart for air, Ennis's gaze drifted to the ring on Jack's finger – a beautiful marquise-cut diamond set in heavy gold, surrounded by petal-shaped side stones and paired with a floral vine-style band. He had bought it in secret, back in May 1965, just two months after they moved in together, and proposed to Jack on their anniversary, December 11, 1965. The memory of that moment still made him smile – Jack, hanging stockings by the fireplace, and him, dropping to one knee, the ring box open, and his heart pounding in his chest. Ennis's thoughts were interrupted by Jack's playful nudge. "Hey, earth to Ennis," Jack said, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "What's got you so lost in thought?" Ennis's face softened, and he reached out to brush a strand of hair behind Jack's ear. "Just thinking about how lucky I am to have you," he said, his voice low and rough. Jack's smile faltered for a moment, and he looked up at Ennis with a vulnerable expression. "I'm the lucky one, darlin'," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Ennis's heart swelled with emotion, and he pulled Jack into a fierce kiss, his hands roaming over Jack's body like he couldn't get enough. Jack's laughter was muffled against his lips, and Ennis felt his desire spike, his body responding to the familiar spark between them. As they broke apart, gasping for air, Ennis's eyes locked onto Jack's, and he knew that he would do anything to keep this man, to love him, to make him happy. And as they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, the Wyoming wilderness stretching out before them, Ennis knew that their love would conquer all.
