Chris wasn't surprised to find Will on his doorstep on a Friday evening. Standard operating procedure and all that. But going to Tucson Raceway Park in the middle of August was not something he wanted to do after a long day at work. Still, how could he resist spending the evening with the secret love of his life, even if it was just to watch cars go around in a circle?<br><br>But when they’re together, fast cars aren’t the only thing that can make a heart thunder on a hot summer night. Will's got a surprise in store that will definitely turn up the heat.

Heat Wave: Tucson

Chris slid his arms around Will’s waist, hugging him hard. “Goofball.”


“All right, let’s get this moving.” Will nudged him back, and Chris took the hint, turning to the tub and flipping on the shower. Though the air conditioning kept the apartment cool, it was still too hot for more than lukewarm water. Chris waved a hand towards the shower. Will stepped in first, reaching for Chris and guiding him in, too. Will allowed Chris to stand under the shower spray first.


As they traded spots, Chris had to ask, “Are we going to finish talking in here?”


Chris chuckled and grabbed a green bar of soap off the little shelf. He crooked a finger at Will, wanting him out of the direct fall of water. Will complied, and Chris reeled him close with a hand on the hip. Working up lather and smearing the soap over Will’s chest was a treat. Nothing better than a slippery man in his shower, in Chris’ humble opinion. He took the chance now to explore what he was, by necessity, denied earlier.
