Three years ago, Winston Abernathy did something completely out of character -- he had a one-night stand with a gorgeous dancer. But the next day, the dancer left for New York to try to make it big on Broadway, and Win went back to dating men who were like himself -- boring, bland paralegals.<br><br>Now that dancer, Randy Lincoln, is back in Los Angeles. That amazing night with Randy has fueled Win's fantasies for the past three years, yet he doesn't believe a man like Randy would be interested in someone like him. Much to his surprise, Randy wants to see him, and for longer than one night. Maybe this time they can have a chance for a relationship.<br><br>But when Randy gets an opportunity to dance in a Las Vegas show, Win wonders if he'll have to let Randy go for good.

Maybe This Time

“I don’t know that I ever loved him,” Win said. “He’s just the type of guy I’m supposed to like. According to everyone. Do you know why I bought you that drink three years ago in that bar?”


“Because you were the kind of guy I really wanted. The guy I was so fucking turned on by. I dreamed of being with that guy since I was a kid and first realized I was gay. I don’t want someone like me. I want someone like you.”


And then to Win’s surprise, Randy smiled. A sweet, curl your toes kind of smile. “Okay. Then, can we get out of here?”


Win’s chest eased a bit. “Hell, yeah. Anywhere you want to go.”


“You aren’t going to get in trouble for leaving?”


Win shrugged. “Maybe, maybe not. Who cares? I was going to skip it anyway. I hate work parties.”


Randy gave him the smile again and this time kissed him quick before he opened the passenger door of the car and got in.
