the chance to see if there’s a possibility that we can just get each other off. I’ve done that, Reece. Maybe that’s all you want, but I want this to be more about myself, and having really hot sex with a really hot guy.”

“What is it that you want?”

“Freedom, the freedom to get to know my lover’s mind, his heart and his body. I want to look at him and know that don’t need to hurry and get my rocks off before someone finds out, the freedom to give myself totally 100% body, heart, mind and soul without the fear of this being the one and only chance I get. I want to take my time and find out for myself…slowly…what makes him tick, what he needs and how I go about satisfying that need…”

“I need a shower…”

“And I need you. Eat your steak before it gets cold.”

There were no more conversations about their future for the rest of the meal. They laughed, they joked, they told each other their secrets. They were the couple in the restaurant that everyone was looking at out of the corner of their eye and wishing they were. They waiters even stood back and peered at them from the kitchen and whispered to each other, “Look, look at table seventeen, they are falling in love….”

“I already have. I’m just waiting for you to make up your mind” Billy kissed his shoulder and stepped off the bike. He bent to kiss Reece goodnight.

“I already did.” Reece kissed him gently on the lips. Billy kissed him back, parting his lips a little so Reece could gently touch the tip of his tongue with his. Their arms gripped each other as the kissed went deeper and the stars danced around them.

They kissed all the way to the door, Billy attempting to punch in the code without looking. The door finally buzzed and they entered. Billy took Reece’s hand and ushered him though the living room and down the hall. He stood at the doorway and Reece looked at the king size bed. “I…uh….” Reece pointed toward the bathroom door.

“Me, next.” Billy smiled. “I’m just gonna take off my coat and shoes, okay?”

“Make yourself comfortable.” Reece turned on the bathroom light but turned back to Billy. “I can
