company of one of the most handsome men he had ever met. Night after night he had lay on his bed with Adam’s face being the last thing he saw before he drifted off to sleep. The waitress dropped their drinks off just as Adam returned with plates loaded down with edible goodies then he sat on the stool next to Alex and lifted his beer toward Adam and said, “Cheers.” “Cheers,” Alex said lifting the apple martini he had ordered. “So, what is this shot called?” Adam asked eyeing the chocolate looking concoction. Alex turned a little red before he said, “In some bars it’s called a cock sucker, but here it is called sex on the beach.” “Either sounds good to me.” Adam said downing the shot then he smiled at Alex showing even white perfect teeth. Their conversation flowed smoothly over the next couple of hours with both enjoying the other’s company as they learned more about each other. “I’m glad you joined me tonight Adam.” “So am I Alex, but I have to ask, what’s next?” “What do you mean?” “You know what I mean.” Adam said while looking deep into Alex’s green eyes. Adam nodded his head and lowered his eyes, “I do, how about we go to my place? I could open a bottle of wine.” “I would like that, so lead the way.” Adam said then drained the last of his beer and stood up. Alex noticed several people looking in his and Adam’s direction as they were leaving the pub, he didn’t know what they were thinking nor did he care. He was leaving with the handsome man he had secretly been crushing on. Outside the fresh air hit them both in the face and helped to sober them up somewhat as they walked the few blocks to Alex’s apartment. Their conversation was light and comfortable since they had drank and ate together but there was an underlying current of sparks of attraction flying between them. They both knew where they were going and what was going to happen. Adam wasn’t surprised when he saw the inside of Alex’s apartment, it was immaculate and showed Alex’s eclectic taste in furniture and colors. “You have a nice place here.” “Thanks.” Alex said as he walked into the kitchen then returned with a bottle of wine and two glasses. “Have a seat and make yourself comfortable.” Adam moved a pillow over then sat on the sofa and looked up at Alex who was struggling with the cork in the wine bottle. “Here, let me.” He said reaching up for the bottle where he touched Alex’s hand. When the cork was removed he poured a generous amount into each of the glasses on the coffee table. From where he sat on the sofa Alex couldn’t help but stare at Adam’s large strong hands and when he looked up to his face he saw Adam looking back at him. As much as he wanted those hands to touch him it was going to have to be Adam who made the first move. He took a sip of his wine and laid his head back against the sofa and smiled at Adam. Adam took a sip of his wine then sat the glass back down on the coffee table then he reached over and kissed Alex on the lips. At first it was slow and easy just letting their lips touch and feel each other’s texture . After a few moments their lips parted and their tongues met for the first time. It took everything in Adam’s power to hold his needs in check, as much as he wanted to get Alex out of his clothes, he wanted to savor this moment. His heart beat with excitement as he felt Alex’s hands go up under his shirt where they explored his stomach and chest. Everywhere they touched sent tingles of pleasure through his body and he could feel his desire throbbing inside his pants. He wanted this beautiful guy and he was going to have him. Alex didn’t resist when he felt Adam gently push him back on the sofa where he was stretched out on his back. He closed his eyes as he felt warm hands go up under his shirt where they explored his skin until they discovered his nipples which came to life under the firm fingertips that teased and
