Being insecure isn’t good for Parker Williams’ image as an indie movie actor, but he can’t help it. He seems to forget that he snatched an Oscar from the one hit movie he made, and he keeps comparing himself with the success of his boyfriend Declan, who is a blockbuster star. Things get worse when Parker sees how close Declan is to his sexy costar, Ryan Dexter.<br><br>Parker thinks he’s no match for Ryan and leaves without confronting Declan. When he disappears, a worried Declan tries to contact him without result. Then he finds Parker’s cell phone, left behind at the house, and Declan doesn’t know what to do. Should he let Parker go and turn to Ryan for comfort? Is his relationship with Ryan only onscreen, or is there something more between the two leading men? Or is Parker really the star of Declan's heart?

Misunderstandings

“Take it off,” Declan urged him, his voice hoarse. Instead of doing what he was asked, Parker reached down to stroke Declan’s thighs and between his legs. Declan panted.


“That’s not fair.” He wrenched at Parker’s shirt. Parker swayed and wrapped his arms around Declan’s waist to steady himself. He giggled a little. Declan released Parker’s shirt to cup his face and showered him with kisses.


“God, Parker. Look at that. You're laughing. I missed that so much. Thank you, baby. God, I’ve missed you so much.” He landed a soft kiss on those velvety lips.


Parker pushed him playfully. “Come on.”


Parker’s eyes flickered mischievously as he began to unbutton his shirt. “You want this off, right?” He made a show divesting himself of his clothes, starting with the shirt. The buttons went off easily and the shirt skated down his shoulders. Declan swallowed at pale flesh revealed before him, and he stepped forward. Parker waggled his finger.
