he was bragging that he had just been on the telephone with a Broadway star.” Joseph said. “I wonder what he would think if he knew I was sleeping with one?”

“What do I care what he thinks. You just get that ass of yours home to me, now babe. I'm going to fill the tub with warm water and fill the bathroom with scented candles, then I'm going to get nude, slip into the water and wait for you to join me.”

“Damn your sexy ass. Tonight, I'm going to have me a hot Broadway Star. I'm on my way…start that tub, babe.”

A half hour later, after parking his car in the basement garage and riding the elevator up to Richard's floor, he unlocked the door and walked into the darkened apartment. The only light was coming from the small multicolored string of lights attached around the floorboards and the flickering light coming from under the bathroom door. Closing and locking the door, He could just about make out the made up bed with the covers turned down. Quickly casting off his clothes he moved to the bathroom door and lightly knocked. “Rich is it all right to come in?” He whispered.

“Only if you are nude, FRANK!” Came the answer.

“Frank???” he said acting outraged as he opened the door and saw Richard spread out in the tub surrounded by burning flickering candles. “I'm going to drown you, you bitch.”

“Well look who showed up, fresh from the oasis, it's --- what's his name, and nude yet. Come in and get your feet wet, stranger.”

“I'll stranger you!” he said stepping into the warm water behind Richard's back and sliding down, forcing Rich to move forward in the tube while Joseph circled him with his legs and his arms hugging his wet body to himself. He kissed his neck and said, “This reminds me of that time we made love all night long in that hotel hot tub. The first time I…”

“That seems like ages ago.” Rich said sadly. “I wish we could go back to those days. To the days when it was just you and I and things were less complicated.”

He ran his lips over Richard's shoulders licking and kissing them. Pulling Richard even closer to himself, he sat with his hard cock snuggled against the actor's ass cheeks. Leaning over he sucked on the actors ear lobe and then with his tongue tip he traced around the outside of the ear and then he ran it in and out and whispered, “if you think things are complicated now, just think of how complicated they would be if it had been me in Ibrahim's place and I had been…”

He never had the chance to finish the sentence. Richard turned his head and stopped the rest by kissing him. “I need you to remind me of that every now and then.” He said seriously, “I tend to forget it and I have to be reminded of how much I have to thank Fazzi for.” Seeing the look of doubt on the soldier's face he quickly said. “I really mean that, I do have him to thank for keeping you here. We would not have had all this time together if it were not for him. Someday I would like to be able to thank him, but for now, I just hate him.”

They kissed deeply and relaxed in each other's arms
