Circle the Noun

Gay

Andrew woke up to the feel of a warm body against his own. It was not Josh, nor Robert, but the man he had taken under his wing back at Edward's? Justin. The guy had been so naïve, just like Andrew had been, in moving in with Edward.

Andrew did not understand why but he felt responsible, almost parental toward Justin in a way he had never felt about his own son. It might have been due to the fact that Andrew would never in his life be as physically intimate with Greg as he had been with Justin.

When Andrew came home everyone had been asleep except for Justin. He had stayed up, waiting for Andrew to come back. Andrew had wanted to go up stairs and snuggle up to Josh but the sad look in Justin's eyes could not be denied.

Taking out some of the sleeping bags stored in the garage, Andrew took Justin to his old office. Using two sleeping bags the two snuggled together."

"Do you think I am infected?" Justin has asked worried.

"I don't know? we did some pretty stupid stuff."

"?What will I do? Who will want me?"

"I want you. You can stay with me."

"But what about Josh? won't you want to get back together with him."

Andrew hesitated as if answering that question would admit something painful. "Josh is not mine to take. He has Robert. He belongs with him. The most I can hope for is to win his friendship back."

"Ok," Justin said still unsure where he stood.

"You, my hot army hunk, are someone I know I can take care of? if you want me to?"

"Really, you're not just saying that because you might have?" Justin left it unfinished.

"Infected you?" Andrew finished. "I would be lying, Justin, if I did not admit that I feel responsible for you because I might have given you HIV. But it is not the only reason I want to be with you. You are funny, cute, have a fantastic body, and smiling lips that call out to be kissed."

"Thanks." Justin had blushed in the darkness. "Do you want me to fuck you?"

"No? not tonight. You might not be infected, why take the risk till we know."

"I wouldn't mind it if it meant I could be with you."

"Justin? don't say that. Your life is more important than anything I can give you."

"You don't know what it is like to have no one," was Justin's response. "If having AIDS means I don't have to be alone then I can deal with that."

"Well here's hoping that you don't have AIDS and I promise you regardless of what happens I won't let you be alone. After that they had snuggled together and gone to sleep.

Andrew, now awake, looked at Justin resting on his chest. Not even when Josh was in his best shape, which he practically still was, did he have such a hot body. Justin also had the cute innocence that Andrew had loved so much about Josh. If it were not for the age difference, Andrew felt Justin would be a perfect partner. But there was an age difference. Could he ask Justin to spend the best years of his life with him? When Justin reached the same age that Andrew was now, 40, Andrew would be in his sixties. Could he ask such a guy to stay with him? till death do they part, so to speak.

Still, as Aidan had told him. Andrew needed to think about, not what made him feel good, but actually happy. Being with Justin would make him happy. To feel guilty about aging on Justin was something that Aidan would say should be flushed down the toilet. Andrew knew that Aidan would tell him that Justin was an adult, capable of making his own choices. If Justin decided to stay with him then Andrew should just accept it and be glad.

"Did you sleep well?" Andrew asked as he gave Justin a kiss.

"Yes." Justin grinned as he slowly opened his eyes.

"Well, I promise we will have a real bed next time. I'll have one brought in today," Andrew said as he got off the floor.

"You going?" Justin asked as he remained covered by the sleeping bag.

"Yep? I now have three new mouths to feed. Got to go out and earn some money."

"What should I do?"

"Well, David is going to drive all three of you to the hospital to get some blood work done before he brings ya'll back for lunch. Then ya'll can do whatever you want. There is a gym in the basement if you want to work out."

"I'll do that." Justin smiled. "I just wish I was doing something useful to earn my keep."

"We can talk about that later. Just consider this a little vacation"


Galen gave his friend a look of pity. Nathan looked worse for wear after his night of wild sex with David. "Nathan? I got to tell you if getting fucked turns you into what you look like, I'm not sure I want to be gay."

"Why would you think you are gay in the first place?" Nathan grumbled. He always was a grump when he went without sleep.

"I don't know?" Galen replied nervously.

"Do you hear that, Philip? Galen doesn't know if he is straight or not," Nathan groaned, wishing his headache would go away.

"Really?" Philip grinned with a wide smile. "Come on, Galen, let's go someplace to talk about this. I don't think lover boy is in any condition to give moral support right now. Ahhh here comes Rebecca. Don't worry Nate, you can cry on her shoulder," Philip chuckled as he pulled Galen away.

Philip led the redheaded soccer player to the aquatics center, which had become sort of the gay hang out with coach Anderson's blessing. Philip led Galen past two couples kissing before leading him to the coach's office.

"Hey Coach." Philip smiled. "I found you another one."

"Another guy to join the diving team?" Coach Anderson said hopefully.

"Nope another guy questioning his sexuality." Philip laughed.

"Darn? maybe he will want to join the team anyway. A lot of hot guys on the team you know," Jason said with raised eyebrows. "Take a seat?."

"Galen," Philip introduced.

"Thanks, Philip, but I think Galen here can talk for himself. Why don't you go off and make sure no one interrupts us."

"Ok?" Philip said a little disappointed that he was not being allowed to listen in.

After Philip was gone Jason turned his attention on Galen, giving him a friendly smile. "So tell me about yourself."

"Well, I'm 17, on the varsity soccer team with Nathan, that is why I wonder if I am gay? I have always felt an attraction to Nathan and David."

"What sort of attraction?" Jason asked sympathetically

"That is what I don't know. I mean I really like being around them? Philip too. I don't have to act all tough when I am with them."

"Any physical feelings?"

"I guess? I don't know. It's not like I get a woody around them but I have been having these dreams?"

"Tell me about them."

"I don't know? they're mainly about me being in the locker room with Nathan, David and Philip, all of us naked. It starts off with us just horsing around, but then it becomes more. I get sexually excited. I don't want to get into the details."

"I get the point, you have a wet dream."

"Yes. Do the dreams mean I'm gay?"

"Not at all. Tell me, have you had sex with anyone? male or female?"

"Well, I had oral sex with a girl once," Galen admitted.

"And did you enjoy it?"

"Yes?" Galen blushed.

"Ok? so it is fair to say that women are attractive to you."

"Of course!" Galen laughed.

"So the only reason you think you might be gay is due to a few homoerotic dreams?"

"Sounds silly doesn't it?"

"Not at all. You are a young kid. It is natural for your mind to explore it's sexuality, especially since your two best friends happen to be gay."

"I guess I'm just curious. I just want to know what the big deal is."

"Then why don't you find out?" Jason suggested.

"You mean? have sex with a guy?" Galen said a little nervous.

"Isn't that why you came here? If I had to guess at anything, you are hoping that one of your gay friends will 'seduce' you into it? be honest, Galen."

"Yeah, coach, you got me."

"So say it? I, Galen, want to have sex with another man." Jason grinned.

"I, Galen, want to have sex with?" Galen hesitated.

"I, Galen, want to have sex with another man," Jason repeated.

"I, Galen, want to have sex with another man," Galen said too rapidly that he almost tripped over his own words.

"There? now was that so hard to say?"

"Yes!" Galen said, not liking the coach's sarcasm.

Jason just gave Galen a wink of an eye and called Philip back into the room.

"Yes coach?" Philip asked, curious as to what had been said between Galen and Jason.

"Galen has something he wants to tell you? don't you Galen?" Jason smiled wickedly.

"What?" Galen replied, trying to appear clueless.

"Just tell Philip the same thing I had you tell me," Jason said.

"You got to be joking me," Galen said in disbelief.

"Tell him," Jason grunted in a no nonsense voice.

"Tell me what?" Philip smiled. He didn't know what Galen was supposed to say but he was sure it was embarrassing.

"I, Galen?"

"Yes?" Jason pressed.

"I, Galen, would like to have?"

"Like to have what?" Philip asked, enjoying the look of frustration on Galen's face.

"I would like to have sex with a man," Galen sighed, hanging his head in shame.

"Good kid," Jason said as he got up and patted Galen on the back. "Congratulations, you have just come out of the closet."

"Thanks?" Galen said with no cheerful emotions.

"And in reward I am sending you off on a date. Philip? I would like you to take Galen out."

"Me?" Philip said surprised.

"Yes you? you're available."

"Coach, I am in a relationship of sorts."

"You are the third wheel of a tricycle," Jason labeled Philip. You know what you have when you throw away the third wheel?"

"A bicycle?" Philip answered

"That's right? kids play with tricycles men ride bicycles."

"Hey? but I like my tricycle," Philip pouted.

"That is fine, but I think it's time you rode a bicycle for a change, and therefore I want you to take Galen out."

"Fine? Galen would you like to come home with me tonight."

"Uhmmmm."

"He says yes," Jason said when Galen didn't speak up. "You better not mess this up, Philip, or I will have you doing laps till the snow melts."

"Damn? come on, Galen, let's get out of here before coach decides I need to learn how to ride a unicycle."


After getting back from the hospital, Aidanand Justin went down to the basement to work out, while Oliver stayed upstairs watching music videos.

"What do you think of the place so far?" Aidan asked while spotting for Justin.

"They all seem very nice. I can't believe Andrew left this place for Edward's.

"He is just a man and can mistakes just like us," Aidan replied.

"I know, but this is the sort of place I've been looking for? a homey place with a family feel."

"Well, if you are looking for a lot of parenting, then this is the place."

"You don't like it here?"

"It's only been one day. I need to get to know the people, before I decide if I want to live here."

"Oh come on? I know you already have the hots for Josh."

"Yeah, and what good do those feelings do me? I'm positive."

"You don't know that," Justin said worried over his friend's distress.

"Well, out of all of us I deserve it. I knew about Vale's sexual habits and I still slept with him."

"He was supporting you."

"I know? and I hate it. I'm supposed to be a doctor, not some whore!. I'm supposed to be healing people, not selling my body to them!" Aidan yelled in frustration.

"What is this? can the great Aidan admit to feeling regret out of all things?"

"Yeah? so what if I am. How could I not? I just took an HIV test."

"But as you always say? why worry about the past. Only the present and future matter."

"I know what I say, but right now it's not doing me any good. I slept with other guys besides Vale. What if I infected them?"

"They knew the risk just like you did," Justin repeated.

"I know? and I feel like a shit for saying such an asshole comment."

"Aiden, don't be hard on yourself. Unlike me and Oliver, you have a future. You will be a great doctor, make loads of money and have a wonderful life. Me? the best I can hope for is that some kind man takes pity on me."

"Andrew?" Aidan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes? at least I hope so."

"He will take good care of you," Aidan agreed.

For another thirty minutes the two men exercised in silence. Then Andrew came down stairs looking upset. "Can I talk to you, Justin."

"Yes Andrew? what's wrong."

"I need to take you back to the hospital."

"Why? the HIV test won't be ready for three days."

"A different test result came in? your white blood cell count? it is low?very low."

"Well, I guess I won't have to worry about the HIV test then," Justin sighed, waiting for reality to hit him.

It happened soon. Justin broke down in tears, crying against Andrew's chest. Andrew wrapped his arms around Justin's sweaty back and rocked him.

Aidan waited in silence for as long as he could before his own fear forced him to speak. "What was my T cell count?"

"Yours was normal," Andrew said, completely understanding Aidan's need to know.

"So I guess it is still a waiting game," Aidan sighed as he headed up the stairs, only to run into Josh.

"You ok, Aiden?" Josh asked concern in his voice.

"No?" Aidan trembled, wanting to hug Josh but holding back.

"You know about Justin?"

"Yes?"

"Well, don't worry, Andrew will take care of him."

Aidan wanted to ask who was going to take care of him but he continued to hold back.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Yes I do, but I don't want to burden you," Aidan said as he moved in closer to Josh.

"Then let's go to my office," Josh suggested. He was sure that is was clean as he knew that his son spent very little time in it. Nathan was usually with David in the joining room."

"Have a seat," Josh offered waving to the sofa as he took the seat by his desk to Aidan's disappointment.

"Thanks," Aidan sighed, he had hoped that Josh would sit right next to him.

Aidan guessed he would just have to give him a show instead. Wearing only his workout shorts with nothing underneath, Aidankept his legs spread wide, letting his cock poke out the left side.

Josh though noticed the ploy and chuckled lightly. "Aiden, you are no longer at Edwards. You don't have to show of your tidbits to me."

"Maybe I want to show them off." Aidan smiled back as he willed his cock to erection with thoughts of all the things he would like to do to Josh.

"You're attracted to me," Josh said as if he suddenly realized it, which of course he had not.

"You can say that," Aidan smirked.

"You know I am engaged."

"To one of the biggest players in Kansas City? I know Robert's reputation."

"Robert is now semi-retired."

"Is he?" Aidan laughed.

"Yes he is? he only sleeps with other guys that have slept with me."

"Well, that must be a short list."

"A very short list," Josh agreed.

"So I take it that Robert wouldn't mind a new name being added to the list."

"Yep? he wouldn't mind." Josh blushed as he tried not to get lost in Aiden's violet eyes

"So can I consider this my interview?" Aidan asked slipping into his British accent. He saw at once that it did the trick as Josh soon adjusted his pants.

"I don't think we are at that point yet," Josh said, a little nervous.

"Oh, but I think we are getting there." Aidan smiled wickedly as he watched the tent grow in Josh's pants.

"That is not why I brought you here," Josh said in attempt to divert the conversation from Aidan's flirting.

"Well, it is one of the reasons I am here. You know what I think?"

"No, what?" Josh asked in hope that Aiden's question would have nothing to do with sex or the hard-ons both of them were carrying.

"I don't think you hear people tell you what a sexy man you are."

"Robert tells me that all the time."

"I'm not referring to your would-be spouse but to other gay men? you do know other gay men, don't you?"

"I do? Glenn, Kyle, Mike, Patrick, Dan, Doug, my sons?" Josh listed off.

"Yes, and I bet all of them can't tell you that you are sexy for one reason or the other but you know what you are sexually desirable, Josh? very much so."

"Why do you say that?"

"Cause that is the word on the street? not the sort of streets you frequent, but the gay street."

"I'm pretty well connected to the gay community."

"You are to the socially upright, PR, social services side, but not to the bars and baths. You and Robert are a legend there? Robert, for all the men he has fucked there, and you for your absence. All I would have to do is take you to a gay bar and announce that I know Josh Harper and I would be the center of attention. That is what Edward hated about you? you being both popular and having a clean image."

"You are trying to flatter me."

"I am? but it's all true. I can take you to a gay bar and let you see for yourself?" Aidan offered.

"Nah? that is not my sort of place." Josh reddened.

"Oh well, I guess us common fags will have to deal without your presence," Aidan said in a melodramatic tone.

"It's not like I think I'm better than them."

"Then what? you're afraid that everyone will see you enter a gay bar and assume you're gay?" Aidan laughed, knowing that he hit a nerve.

"Dang it!" Josh swore, he hated Aidan showing how narrow minded he was.

"So are you going to join me in a little venture into the dark underworld of gay Kansas City."

"Just to prove you wrong, I will," Josh said, knowing quite well that he had fallen into a trap.

"Good, let me shower and change and we can be on our way."

After cleaning himself up, Aidan came out dressed in a tight black tank top, dark blue jeans that were loose on his hips and a pair of sunglasses. Josh, was still dressed in his business suit carrying a worried expression on his face.

"Oh come on, you can't go out looking like a closeted married guy. You're gay, you should at least look it." Aidan laughed as he grabbed Josh's arm and pulled him upstairs to his bedroom. When Josh finally came out he was dressed in a form-fitting white t-shirt, faded jeans and hiking boots.

"What about the cold?" Josh asked concerned? it was 22 degrees outside.

"Take a coat, but be ready to take it off as soon as you get in. Also leave a note for Robert, I don't plan to have you back home till morning."

"Morning?" Josh asked concerned. He had hoped that all they would do was stop by a bar, get a drink, and head back home. At least that was what Josh had pictured, but it seemed that Aidan had a schedule of his own in mind.

This became clear when Aidan insisted in taking Andrew's Mercedes instead of Josh's Saturn. "Come on Josh? everyone in the gay community knows you're loaded, you might as well look the part," had been Aidan's explanation.

The first stop was a gym. Not the high priced one that Robert and Josh went to, but one known for its men watching. Aidan led Josh up to the front desk and showed them his membership card and pointed to where Josh needed to sign in for a guest pass.

"I heard Edward kicked you out," the overly built man at the desk snickered.

"He kicked everyone out," Aidan replied, not fazed by the man's comments.

"So is your guest your new sugar daddy?" the man asked as he turned the sign-in book around to read the name.

"Yes? Darrel, I would like you to meet Josh Harper? Josh Harper, I would like you to meet Darrel."

"Josh Harper?" the man now identified as Darrel said, surprised. "Would you mind of I ask for some ID?"

"No problem? Josh laughed as he took out his driver's license."

"Man, you are Josh Harper. For some reason I though you would be taller," Darrel said as he gave Josh a once over.

"That is what they all say." Aidan laughed as he pulled Josh toward the locker room.

"Sugar daddy?" Josh asked surprised.

"That's my fault," Aidan confessed as he peeled off his tank top and tossed it into a locker. He then clapped his hands and pointed at Josh's shirt to signal he wanted him to take it off as well.

Josh getting the hint lifted the shirt off, only to be greeted by a few whistles. "What's up? did I make a mistake."

"No man? you are just plain hot." Aidan laughed as he admired Josh's pecs and abs.

"Not as hot as you." Josh grinned as he returned the favor.

"Yeah but almost everyone here has seen my body. You are fresh eye candy. Come on, let's show them what a 39-year-old stud can do."

Aidan made sure that Josh impressed everyone by adding more and more weight. Aidan was eventually impressed himself, for while he had a more sculpted body than Josh, Josh was able to handle more weight. A few of the regulars came up to Aidan, asking him who the "new guy" was, and every time Aidan took great pleasure in announcing that he was none other than Josh Harper himself.

So it did not surprise Aidan that when he led Josh to the steam room that not a few other men followed them in. "It looks like you have some admirers," Aidan snickered as he and Josh sat on one bench alone, while six other guys were crammed together on the opposite one.

"I don't see what they expect from me," Josh replied nervously, if not for the steam he was sure people would see him blushing.

"They see the hottest, richest, gay man in town, stripped down to a towel less the five feet away," Aidan whispered into Josh's ear.

"So it is all about sex and money," Josh said disappointed.

"Well, they didn't follow us in here because of your charity work," Aidan replied while he gave one of the admirers a wink.

"I guess you're right. What do we do now?"

"Now you are going to let me kiss you and make all these men incredibly jealous."

"You're evil." Josh tried to laugh, but was stopped when Aidan turned his head and kissed him. "Wow," Josh exhaled when Aidan let him go.

"Yep? that's what I would name it." Aidan grinned. He too had enjoyed the kiss. "Now let's go and see how many of them follow us to our next stop." Aidan grinned as he took Josh out of the steam room and to the showers.

Between showering, and getting dressed, five different men approached Josh, two of them asking if he could be their lawyer. Josh had to disappoint the two, telling them that he was really only a patent and copyright attorney and really didn't handle civil cases. Still all five left him their business cards, hoping to set up something later on.

As Aidan headed toward Main Street, he noticed two cars follow them from the gym. This made him very happy and he couldn't wait to see who the guys were. When they finally parked, Aidan saw two men step out of one car and a single passenger from another.

"Hi? Josh Harper? I'm Peter McAllister," one of the young men said with a wide smile.

"Hi?" Josh said taken aback that he was already being greeted by people and he had not even gotten into the bar."

"I see you are heading inside? can I buy you a drink."

"Sure, but just so you know I'm not a heavy drinker and it's too early for anything alcoholic for me right now."

"Fine?" The man grinned. "We were just amazed at seeing you at the gym today. Do you go to that one often?"

"No? Aidan took me."

"Ahhhh Aidan? good to see you again," Peter said as if he had just realized that Aidan was standing right next to Josh.

"Nice to see you too, Peter," Aidan replied in a false sugary voice.

"Well let's go inside," Josh said as he led the way. He didn't know what was up but he was sure that Peter and Aidan didn't have the best of histories.

After sitting down and drinks ordered, Peter introduced his friend. "Josh I would like you to meet Sidney? my lover."

"Nice to meet you." Josh shook his hand. That was when he noticed that the man who had traveled by himself was not joining them. "Join us." Josh waved the guy over.

"No? I can wait till those two are done." The man waved back.

"I insist," Josh said as he got up and pulled the man over. "What is your name?" Josh asked the middle-aged man.

"Eduardo," the man replied as if embarrassed.

"So Peter, what scam are you trying to pull this time?" Aidan said malevolently.

"We do charity work, Aiden, nothing more, nothing less."

"Yeah, except that over 80 % of the money you take, you use to pay yourselves six-figure salaries."

"We do good work," Peter defended himself.

"What sort of work?" Josh sighed, bracing himself for the money pitch.

"We run a legal service that tries to gain legal rights for committed gay couples," Peter explained excitedly. "A man with your reputation can understand how important that is."

"Yes, but what about the fees you charge? Me guess is that you don't do these things pro bono."

"We do give ourselves a salary to help make ends meet," Peter admitted.

"I don't really know how much help I can give you. If you need my law firm to help you do some research we would be happy to help you out," Josh decided.

"Fine? thank you for your time, Mr. Harper," Peter grunted after seeing he was not going to get any money. He and his boyfriend then got up and left.

"You handled that very well." Aidan smiled.

"Thanks," Josh agreed. "I get proposals like that all the time so I usually know how to handle them. Now what can I do for you, Eduardo?"

"It's about my son," the man replied.

"Your son?" Josh asked curious.

"Yes? Philip."

"You're Philip's father?" Josh said surprised. "I don't want to sound rude, but what were you doing at the gym and why did you follow me here into a gay bar?"

"I think it is very obvious what I am trying to say?. I'm gay," Philip's dad said with great difficulty.

"But you kicked your son out for just the same thing."

"It was no different than between my father and me. Why should Philip expect any better treatment?"

"Because he is your son. You should at least try to understand him."

"I have tried. Everything would have been fine if he had been quiet about his sexual activity."

"You mean stay in the closet," Aidan smirked.

"Yes."

"So you want your son to be like you, sneaking off to gay bars and gyms just to get off."

"It has worked for me and kept Philip's grandfather from breathing down my neck."

"Why should you care?"

"Because of money, pure and simple. My father caught me with another boy in high school. That is why Philip, not I was to inherit the farming business instead of me."

"But now Philip's grandfather knows that Philip is also gay, does not lead to many options."

"Oh trust me, my father would rather give the farm land back to the families he bought them off than let a fag take them over. But he doesn't have to. He is giving the farmland to whoever marries my daughter, Philip's sister. She is only 13 but already has suitors.

"It's not fair to put such pressure on her," Josh chastised.

"She would not have had to if my son had been more discreet."

"Well, your son is no longer your problem. You didn't want him so we took him in? gladly mind you."

"That's fine with me. If my son wants to live with a bunch of fairies that's his business. You just make sure he stays away from his sister."

"Why?"

"That's none of your concern. I gave you my warning and so I will be leaving, but I have one last question. How many times have you fucked my son?" Eduardo snickered as he got up.

Before even Aidan realized what was said, Josh's fist came across the table and punched Philip's father in his gut. Eduardo, bent over in pain, was then punched again on top of his head, knocking him down on the ground.

"Josh, get a hold of yourself," Aidan said as he pulled Josh back.

"Let's go," Josh grunted as he left a twenty on the table.

As soon as they were out of the bar Aidan began asking Josh questions. "So do you lose you temper much."

"No? I'm sorry you saw that. He just got under my skin."

"I'll say. Remind me not the mess with you. Those muscles of yours are not just for show it seems."

"I do a little kick boxing and work on the punching bag," Josh admitted.

"I hope he does not press charges."

"I don't think he will. He would have to tell the police where I punched him and I doubt he wants Philip's grandfather knowing that he was in a gay bar."

"You are probably right. So how about we get a early dinner before hitting the dance floor. I want to see if all that karate has given you any good dance moves."

After eating a light meal at an Italian restaurant, Aidan took Josh to his first dance club. The sound of the blaring techno music and the flash of disco lights deafened Josh's senses as Aidan dragged him onto the dance floor. Aidan pulled off his black tank top and stuffed it down the back of his pants before he pointed his index finger at Josh indicating he wanted Josh to do the same. Josh, felt bashful in stripping half naked around so many other guys, but he eventually did it. Aidan took the privilege and the pleasure of stuffing nearly half of it down the back of Josh's jeans giving the man's ass a good squeeze in the process.

It took about five songs but Josh finally loosed up, going from stiff, almost robotic moves to real loose. Aidan, now smiling wrapped his arms around Josh's waist, feeling firm muscles of Josh's back. Aidan then pulled his dance partner closer to him, grinding his crotch against Josh's thigh and to his surprise Josh did not pull away. Feeling even more ambitious, Aidan pulled his shirt off, reveling his built pecs, the small trail of hair that ran down his eight-pack abs, and the sweat that made his biceps glisten under the flashing disco lights. This triggered a deep laugh from Josh who? loosened by the drinks Aidan had bought for him, unbuttoned his collared shirt, taking it off and wrapping it around his waist. Aidan admired Josh's body, for while he was thirteen years older he had a body to match his own.

Aidan pulled Josh even closer to him so that their sweaty chests were now rubbing up against each other. Then, no longer to hold back, Aidan moved in and gave Josh a hard kiss on the lips, wrapping an arm around Josh's neck so that Josh could not move away. Aidan could tell at once that it had been a mistake. Josh did not let his tongue slip into his mouth but instead tried to pull away. "No?!" Josh gasped when he had a chance.

"I'm sorry," Aidan said in such a soft voice that he was sure that Josh could not have heard him over the blare of the techno music.

"Let's go!" Josh replied? getting the jist of what Aidan had said.

"Ok!" Aidan agreed, hoping that he had not just ruined whatever friendship had been growing between the two of them.

Aidan worried about that until he saw Josh tucking his shirt back in and noticed the significant bulge in the man's pants. This triggered a smile on Aiden's face as it proved he had not lost his touch. The only problem was that he had no idea what to do about his own hard-on.

Having had enough excitement for the night, the two of them drove home. On the way back Josh, never much of a drinker fell asleep. At each stoplight Aidan would just watch the peaceful expression on Josh's face. When Aidan finally parked the car in front of the house he just remained there, watching the older man sleep. Then, when he could not hold back any longer, he reached over and kissed Josh on the check. Josh still asleep responded by resting his head on Aiden's shoulder. Aidan wrapped both his arms around Josh's neck, nuzzling his face against Josh's unshaven face.

Aidan hoped the moment would last forever but was stopped when the door to the passenger door opened to show Robert's tired face.

"You do know it is two in the morning bud," Robert grumbled like a father asking why his daughter's boyfriend was brining her home late.

"Uhm?" Aidan said nervous as he tried to get Josh's head off his shoulder.

"Oh don't worry about that?" Robert grinned. "It's time Josh had a playmate."

"I don't think Josh really wants to dump you for me," Aidan replied matter-of-factly, regardless that he might wish that was so.
