more than just the villa." Angel laughed as he stood up, naked. The bubbly water ran off his well-developed body, tracing muscles as it slowly flowed back down into the water. The star grinned at him without remorse as he stepped out of the tub, giving Darius views he should never have of a man.
Dare sat there for a moment trying to pull himself together as the singer went to get dressed. He tried to clear his mind but the image of Angel's perfect body remained. He knew it was going to be a very interesting trip, on a number of different levels.

They headed to Ubud, the closest town, in the resort's mini-van. Angel took the back seat and Dare sat on the middle bench seat with his back against the sliding door so he could talk to Angel.
He was gazing out at the passing shops and all the different restaurants as they got closer to the Temple. Then he noticed Angel had no makeup on. Angel hadn't even lined his eyes. The whole time he had known the lead singer, he couldn't remember seeing Angel without it. His eyes slipped down to checked Angel's fingernails and they were devoid of polish.
He looked back up at his makeup-less face and realized Angel didn't need it; he was naturally beautiful. Dare got lost in looking; couldn't help it, he knew he was staring at Angel but couldn't seem to pull his eyes away.
Angel arched his perfectly shaped brow at him, and asked curiously, "Yes, Dare? Care to share with the class?"
"No, I mean, um you don't have on your makeup." He didn't know why he was stammering like an embarrassed fourteen-year old. Angel was his friend.
Angel tilted his head with a frown. "Is that a problem?" He sounded a little defensive.
"No." He paused not knowing why this was getting so uncomfortable.
"I mean I just never saw you without. You always have at least your eyes lined."
Angel looked very self-conscious as he stated more than asked, "Bad, huh?" Then he looked out of the window. The town shops seemed to interest him as he bit into his plump lower lip.
Darius had never seen Angel with anything less than full on in your face rock star attitude when it came to his confidence. So he had a strange but very strong need to reassure Angel. "Nah, you always look good. I just haven't..." Fuck! Couldn't he just shut the hell up? "You look good without it. You look good with it." He blushed as he muttered, "You just always look good." Nope! Obviously, shutting the hell up was beyond him. It was his turn to now take an interest in staring out at the shops.
Angel seemed so pleased he laughed. "Well, thank you, Dare. That is nice of you to say."
Darius knew when he was being teased so he didn't bother to respond for fear of making himself look like more of an ass.
Kill me! Just kill me now! Yes, I find you fucking hot! Gorgeous, actually. Makes no damned sense, but there it is.
They arrived at the Temple complex, which was ornately carved with flowers, animals, and symbols. They couldn't enter the entire grounds beyond the open pavilion because it was closed. So they went to the open pavilion where they were doing the performance. Finding empty seats, they sat a bit off center in the third row.
He was excited, looking forward to the performance. It had nothing to do with feeling the heat of Angel's body pressed into his right side. It was the tight seating that made his thigh push against Angel's causing it to feel way too sexual.
It wasn't sexual. It had nothing to do with sex. He was insane since Angel was just sitting there--but fuck! He smelled good too, so he tried not inhaling too deeply.
Dare tried to focus on the upcoming performance. He hadn't really seen a show he wasn't performing in for quite some time. Watching the musicians as they filed in helped him avoid his own thoughts that were spinning in directions they shouldn't be heading towards. The instruments being used looked to be mostly percussion but there were
