Chapter 9

“I’ve never touched a man like this. You’re handsome, sexy. Asian men, and especially Japanese men, are so sexy.” Xander bit his lip. “I’ve never said that to a guy before.”

Arthur’s heart ached for his friend. “Maybe you should just sleep.” Arthur jumped out of bed and quickly returned with brandy in a glass. “Drink this. It’ll help you sleep.”

Xander drank, and then their gazes locked. Xander licked his lips and moved closer. His hand cradled Arthur’s head, and their lips met. One of the guys gasped. They rolled in the bed with entangled arms and pressed lips. They gulped air, and hands roamed.

“Is this what’s it’s like to love a man?”

Arthur nodded.

Xander kicked the sheet free and lay atop Arthur, kissing again as though he were starved of affection.

“Xander, are you sure—”

“Yes. Please don’t deny me, please. I need this.”
