Businessman
Will has hoped to meet musician Josh for so long, he’s astonished and elated
when Josh finally notices and pursues him at one of the band’s gigs.
After
a heady night of love, Josh is devastated when Will turns out to be a
millionaire. He’s not a hustler. He couldn’t take and he couldn’t compete. He
retreats into his music.
Will
is sure they could have something special and tries to prove his love for Josh
in the only way he knows how. Trouble is—it’s the wrong way.
Josh
is shocked to discover he can’t forget Will.
They
want each other. Their chemistry is scorching.
But
Josh is running in the opposite direction as Will longs to love him.
Can
love triumph?
Josh
saw Will at one end of the bar and his heart leapt. Flutters started up in his
stomach and he took a deep breath trying to steady himself. The encounter had
rocked him to the core. He’d never in his wildest dreams expected to feel the
way he did about a man whose name he still didn’t know. I want to, though. I want to know all about him. I want him in my life,
and from the way he responded, he wants me bad. That’s great. I need it.
He
watched the play of emotions cross Will’s face as he approached and stood close.
“Hi.
I’m Josh Winters and you are…?” He grinned mischievously.
“Will—Will
Trenton.” Will’s eyes held warmth, affection, and desire.
A
spark of recognition lit in Josh’s mind. “That’s a familiar name, but I
wouldn’t have been able to put a face to it. Are you famous or something?” He
gestured to the bartender.
“A
beer thanks—and for you?” He gave Will a tender look designed to tell the guy
he liked him a lot.
“The
same but let me … let me get them.”
Josh
shook his head. “We have a tab.”
He
saw a look of worry flit through Will’s eyes.
“It’s
really okay, Will.” Josh moved even closer to Will. The toe of one boot touched
the toe of Will’s. He gazed into Will’s eyes. Time slowed for Josh. This man
was even more attractive close up with his handsome face lit by the bar’s
sparkling white downlights. He took in the shade of stubble and wanted to bite
Will’s chin. He ached to grab Will and thrust his tongue between those perfect
lips. He recalled the way Will’s thick hair had felt as he grasped a handful. Softness
filled his stomach. He didn’t know if this was love, but it sure was
tenderness.
