Once the star of his high school basketball team, Nathan Gayle has played the field for years. Now in his twenties, he's getting tired of one night stands and heated hook-ups with strangers; he wants something more. Was that asking too much?<br><br>Wes Roberts has had a fierce crush on Nathan since high school. A chance encounter at prom created a memory Wes still cherishes, one perfect moment in time. His current relationship with Roger pales in comparison, but he's been with the man for eight months now and they've settled into a routine that's not exactly comfortable.<br><br>When Wes and Nathan meet up again years later at a friend's party, the spark between them is rekindled. But there's Roger, who wrestles with anger and drinking problems. Roger, whom Wes is still dating. Though the choice between the two men seems obvious, breaking up with Roger may be easier said than done.

Crushed

“I heard you.”Nathan wrapped his arms around Wes’s waist,hugging him tight.Then he puckered his lips and kissed Wes’s nipple.“I’ll stop.”


Can I say I love this?They lay together,their breath soft in the still morning.Roger was never like this,never—in the mornings when Wes had to wake him up,he was surly and hung over until he’d had his coffee and his paper and his morning cigarette.Then he might be a little better,if Wes made him something to eat or suggested a shower together or something along those lines.I want to wake up like this every day.


Abruptly,Nathan sat up.“Gotta pee.”
