Back in college, Larry Carson played drums in a friend’s band and fell in love with the lead singer, Geoffrey Mason. But all that’s in the past. Larry’s now thirty-five, divorced, and father to a precocious thirteen-year-old daughter. One day, when Larry picks Crystal up from school, a song comes on the radio by a new rockstar climbing the charts. Larry recognizes Geoff’s voice immediately, though Crystal calls him Geo and claims he’s the hottest new singer on the scene. Just hearing him brings back a flood of memories, reopening wounds Larry thought long healed. The more he listens to Geo’s music, the more Larry falls in love with his former boyfriend all over again. Partly to prove to his daughter that he used to know Geo back in the day, and partly to reconnect with his old friend, Larry buys tickets to an upcoming concert and manages to score backstage passes. But there was a reason Larry and Geoff lost touch -- and stayed out of touch for so long. Will Geo even want to see Larry again after all this time? Or will the magic of their old familiar song bring about a harmonious duet?

Old Familiar Song

“God, yes!” Larry cried, hitting an octave he wasn’t even sure Geoff’s golden voice could reach.


Pleased with himself, Geoff murmured, “There we go,” and kissed his way down the thin line of faint hair that trailed down Larry’s flat stomach to disappear into the waistband of his jeans. When he reached Larry’s fly, Geoff unbuttoned it with his teeth, then eased down the zipper with his tongue. Larry felt that warm, wet muscle through his briefs as it tickled over his belly and moved lower, licking through the open gap in his jeans to press against the fly of his underwear.
