man he d been with, including Tom, he d followed his lover s lead, tailoring his
behavior and reactions to theirs.
But not this time. This time he had taken just what he d wanted with a power and
authority he hadn t known he possessed. It was as if he d been taken over by a kind of
sexual madness. He d staked his claim, if not on Reese s heart, at least on his body.
Had Reese felt it too? Or did he just allow Jeff to worship his body, taking it as his
due? Even as this thought passed through his mind, Jeff knew it wasn t like that. Reese
hadn t been a passive consumer of Jeff s favors. They d been intimately connected in a
way that was deeply personal. Jeff had felt every tremor, every shudder and gasp, even
the beating of Reese s heart, as if they were his own.
Hey. Reese s voice was low and tender.
Jeff pulled back so he could see Reese s face. His eyes were shining and Jeff was
captivated by the emotion in Reese s face. He leaned close again, closing his eyes as
their lips met in a kiss. Reese opened Jeff s mouth with his, slipping his tongue inside.
They kissed until their lips were chapped, and then they kissed some more. Reese
reached for Jeff s cock, catching it in his large hand and stroking upward, his mouth still
on Jeff s. Jeff moaned against him and Reese increased the pressure and tempo on his
cock.
All his pent up desire was released with Reese s persistent caress. As good as it felt,
he couldn t hold on another second. Oh, god, Jeff cried, pulling back from the kiss to
catch his breath. Ooh& He held the word as his body began to shudder, hot spurts of
cum shooting from his throbbing cock. Reese continued to stroke him until his balls
were empty.
Jeff rolled onto his back, his heart thumping high in his throat. When he could
move, he turned his head toward Reese, who was watching him with a bemused
expression. Glancing downward, he saw the sticky ejaculate on the bed between them,
and on Reese s fingers.
Sorry, he mumbled, embarrassed. It just snuck up on me.
Reese grinned. No big deal. He licked the cum from his fingers, his eyes on Jeff s
as he did so. Leaning down, he dipped his head toward Jeff s spent cock and licked
away the drops that still trickled from the head. His touch made Jeff shudder in
aftershock and sigh with pleasure.
You see, a voice in his head whispered. You were wrong about Reese Armstrong. He
puts on that swaggering façade to hide his true, loving nature. He just needed the right man to
bring out the goodness. He just needed you.
The old Jeff would have laughed out loud at such a preposterous thought. There
was no way in hell someone like Reese Armstrong would be interested in someone like
him for more than a one-night-stand. But the old Jeff seemed to have left the premises,
and a new, confident man had taken his place. Why shouldn t Reese want to be with
him? Why not?
He had no idea what would happen now, or where they would go from here. All he
knew was, if he could spend the rest of his life right here, in this one moment, with this
one man, it would be enough.

Reese was swimming in cold water beneath a dark, starless sky. He was exhausted and
trying desperately to stay afloat. Something kept pulling at his legs, its grip relentless. Reese
tried to kick it off, but the grip only tightened, dragging him down below the murky surface. He
kept his eyes open, desperately trying to see his assailant.
It was Jeff, only not Jeff this nightmare Jeff had bared teeth and a twisted expression, like a
vampire waiting to suck the life blood from him. He leaned toward Reese, his fangs bared,
morphing as he did into Ray Sipos, whose corpselike visage stared with wide unseeing eyes.
Reese struggled wildly in the demon s grip, but he couldn t move. His lungs were bursting and
terror oozed over him like slime&
Reese sat bolt upright in his bed with a gasp, his heart beating like a drum. It took
him a moment to realize he d been dreaming. Ray Sipos. Jesus. He hadn t thought about
him in years, at least not directly. With a conscious effort, he willed the nightmare from
his mind. His head ached and his mouth felt like it was stuffed with cotton.
He looked at his watch. It was one-twenty in the afternoon. He reached for the
bottle of water beside his bed and took a long drink, the nightmare still hovering like a
ghost on the edges of his consciousness.
He hadn t meant to fall asleep after Jeff left that morning. For that matter, he hadn t
meant to let Jeff stay the night. It was rare that he let a lover stay over, and certainly not
the first time.
The first time.
Did that mean there would be other times?
What the hell had happened last night?
He had planned to fuck the guy, plain and simple. Yes, he was attracted to him, so
what? That should have just made it easier to stick his dick where it needed to go to
collect on his bet.
So what had happened?
He lay back against the pillows, his mind moving over the events of the evening.
Dinner had been pleasant, with a sizzling undertow of sexual possibility. Unlike the
guys Reese was used to hanging out with, Jeff didn t brag about his latest conquests, or
gossip about who was or wasn t doing what to whom. And when Reese spoke, he felt
Jeff s total focus and attention. Jeff was actually interested in what he had to say, not
merely waiting for a lull so he could jump in and talk about himself.
He d been confident of how the night would go. Once he got Jeff completely
relaxed with booze and the hot tub, he d seduce him in short order and send him on his
way. Yeah, he liked the guy, but so what? That didn t mean anything. Anything at all.
Until they d made love.
Reese closed his eyes, remembering. They d made love again sometime near dawn,
this time Jeff penetrating Reese. Jeff had spooned Reese, wrapping strong arms around
him as he entered Reese from behind, nuzzling his neck.
What would Hank think if he knew Reese had let Jeff stay the night? He d remind
Reese, with the contempt ripe in his voice, that sure, their new thing seemed nice now,
even wonderful, but Reese knew how it would go. Jeff would want to see him all the
time. He d want to talk on the phone every day. He d want to know where Reese was
when they weren t together. He d become clingy and needy. The sex would become
boring and predictable. He would be suffocated, dragged down, drowned in Jeff s
insecurities.
