Beckett and Doug work together, travel together, live together ... and play very enthusiastically together. They're easily and cheerfully distracted by their desires, wherever they happen to be, whatever they’re officially meant to be doing.<br><br>The work week starts normally for the newly promoted Beckett, but that's soon disturbed by his lover's sexual provocation.
