friction of his hand over the hard flesh. He closed his eyes, bringing the image of Jared’s handsome face into focus, only somehow he had managed to undo the leather tie that held Jared’s hair back.
Now it hung like a golden curtain around his face, down over his shoulders. It felt like silk between Joey’s fingers. He raised a lock of hair to his lips, inhaling the spicy scent caught in the strands. Like an aphrodisiac, the scent inflamed his senses, hardened his cock even more than he thought possible.
His breath rasped in his heaving chest, the movement of his hand quickened, the friction increased, and he felt a liquid fire pulse in his blood. His body shook and shuddered and he cried out as he came in great jolting spasms.
“Jared,” he whispered again on a trembling breath, before sinking once more into a deep and dream filled sleep.

Chapter Three
Joey had just enough time after work to get home, tidy the place up, shower and change for his date with Jared. He couldn’t remember ever feeling this excited about any one date he’d had in the past. Sure, he’d known many hot guys— too many, as his friend Chris had told him on numerous occasions, but none of them had filled Joey with the incredible rush of anticipation he now experienced.
Jared had called earlier saying he’d pick him up at his apartment at six-thirty. He’d spent the rest of the afternoon envisaging that moment when Jared would step inside, immediately take him in those muscular arms of his and kiss him like only he could. If memory served him right, and he knew it did, the guy was one hot kisser.
Okay , he thought as he lathered up under the shower spray, if I play this right tonight, I just might manage to get Jared back here after the concert. Funny how all thoughts of going non-boyfriend for a while had gone out the window the moment he clapped eyes on Jared. But it wasn’t funny how his cock was reacting to the idea of Jared there in the shower with him, that toned muscular body pressed to his, those dark blue eyes holding his gaze with a promise of hot and sensual passion. He looked down at his burgeoning erection pulsing between his soapy hands and thought ruefully, Better not be tempted to jerk off right now, even thinking of him. Besides, Joey boy, you don’t have time !
He pushed the shower door open and grabbed a towel, drying himself briskly enough to make his skin tingle—or was that still the effect of the Jared fantasy? He towel-dried his hair then ran his fingers through the chestnut brown curls, adding a touch of gel to make them bounce even more disarmingly.
“Tonight, tonight,” he hummed as he slipped on a pair of bikini briefs, pushing his still semi-hard cock to one side. “I’m gonna see Jared tonight…” God, he hadn’t felt this exhilarated in ages. He chose a blue polo shirt from the rack in his closet and a pair of khaki pants. He was just ramming his feet into his shoes when his cell rang.
“Hello?”
“Joey, it’s Jared. I’m here and I have a cab waiting for us outside.”

“Oh, you do?” He tried not to let the disappointment he felt creep into his voice. “I-I’ll be right down. Shoot ,” he muttered, closing his phone.
Now I’m going to have to wait ‘til after the concert for that kiss.
Jared was standing by the cab when Joey exited his apartment building.
Oh my God, he’s even more beautiful than I remembered .
Jared was wearing black jeans, black cowboy boots, and a dark blue denim shirt open just enough to be sexy without being tacky. His hair, which he’d let hang loose, hung about his shoulders like a golden halo.
“You look wonderful,” Jared whispered, opening the cab door.
“You look even more than wonderful.” Joey brushed the back of his hand over Jared’s fly as he climbed into the cab.
Okay, that was tacky …
“Hollywood Bowl, “ Jared told the driver, slamming the cab door as he got
