  Chapter One

  The buzzer on Adam Reeve’s alarm clock sounded extraordinarily loud. He slapped at the box to silence it then laid his arm over his face, covering his eyes.

  When it buzzed again, he sat up with a jolt. Snooze button. He must have fallen back to sleep. Sure the alarm was really shut off this time, he settled back onto his pillow and glanced across the bed.

  Empty. At some point, Nick had slipped out.

  Adam sighed. Part of him felt a pang of regret, sorry his lover had gone, but another side of him oozed relief. After a long night of rakish sex, every inch of his body seemed used and abused. In a good way. Even after catching a few winks, he was still exhausted.

  With one hour until I have to be at work. Adam crawled out of bed and shuffled to the bathroom. He stood under the shower spray and let the water soothe his aching muscles.

  Nicolas Fontana had excited him from the moment they’d first laid eyes on each other at Full Throttle Fitness, the gym where Adam worked as a personal trainer. Lots of great looking guys exercised there, and plenty of them made no secret about the fact they were gay.

  Adam had only been employed there a year and a half, following his graduation from college with a kinesiology degree. For the first six months, he’d been in a committed relationship. Or so he’d thought. When his long-time lover, Mitch Silver, had left after almost five years together, Adam had been too hurt to think about dating anyone else. It had taken months to get over Mitch and several more months to realise he loved his job and didn’t want to jeopardise it by having sexual flings with clients.

  Until Nick.

  The new member’s muscular physique had been hard to miss. Adam had checked out his body first then his handsome face with its sharply chiselled nose and cheekbones. The stranger wore his black hair cut very short on the back and sides and longer on top. He started each workout with it slicked away from his face, but after an hour of stretching, straining, mind-numbing exercise, his black muscle shirt would be soaked with sweat and his bangs would hang in his eyes. The look twisted Adam’s shorts into a knot. The first time NEVER SAY NEVER

  Adam had noticed, it had been all he could do not to follow the guy into the locker room and join him in the shower.

  For two days, Adam had stolen furtive glances and tried to control his burgeoning hard-on. On several occasions, he’d thought he’d caught the man checking him out, as well.

  Finally, Adam had taken the first step and initiated gym talk.

  Nicolas had jumped at the opportunity, chatting up a storm. After a few minutes listening to his sexy voice, Adam had been hooked. He would have bent over and let the man fuck him on a treadmill if that had been the only way to get him. Fortunately, Nick not only had felt the same, he’d had a little more self-control. They’d arranged to meet for drinks after Adam’s shift and had made it as far as a secluded corner of the bar’s car park before they’d been all over each other.

  They’d been intimate as often as possible those first two weeks. Nick was a busy executive for an organisation whose main objective seemed to be raising money for a local children’s hospital. Fundraisers sometimes required him to work late into the evenings, but he’d made time for Adam each day.

  Balancing his schedule with Adam’s rotating shifts at the gym was still tricky.

  Occasionally, it meant tugging off his jacket and necktie and meeting over the back of Adam’s sofa just long enough for a quick, yet satisfying, fuck.

  Merely thinking about sex with Nick had Adam’s cock throbbing in the shower. He stroked the skin back and forth a few times before remembering Nick had asked him not to masturbate. He’d made the request nicely, and Adam hadn’t questioned it. He understood his new lover wanted to be the one to satisfy his desires. After squeezing his shaft once more, he grinned and released it. Waiting was better. Nick would give him all the pleasure he needed, whenever he asked.

  He rinsed and left the glass enclosure then used a thick, plush towel to dry off. The friction caused his sensitised erection to twitch. I’m such a slut! Sex all night long, and I’m horny again. Only for Nick.

  Adam tossed the towel over the rack and looked at himself in the mirror. There were several dark hickeys on his lightly tanned skin, including one on his neck he was sure his friends and co-workers would see—and mention. He had a turtleneck shirt which would delay the teasing for a day, anyway. Perhaps the mark would lighten.

  He ran his fingers through his curly, blond hair and untangled it. It was getting shaggy, but when he’d mentioned a trim, Nick had discouraged the idea. Nick said he liked to run his fingers through the curls, and Adam couldn’t argue. He liked it when Nick did that, too.

  Adam dressed and got out the door before he could fall into any more fantasies. It was almost a relief to be out of the small house which reeked of sex. He’d go home after work and wash the sheets, unless he went home and had more sex. Then, the sheets wouldn’t bother him.

  He grabbed a bagel and a small cup of coffee on his way to the gym. He usually shied away from caffeine, but some days he needed the jolt to get him going.

  A series of personal training clients would fill his morning, beginning with seventy-year-old Joe Neely. Joe was in great shape—and one of the dirtiest old men Adam had ever had the pleasure of meeting. Everyone who arrived early knew to watch out for Joe, who teased about his bark being worse than his bite, and he only bit when invited.

  Adam spotted Joe’s truck in the car park and downed his coffee before going inside.

  After the little amount of sleep he’d gotten last night, he definitely needed the jolt today.

  De
spite his sex hangover, Adam’s morning flew by. He ate a chicken salad from the closest fast food joint on his hour break then got back to work so the other staff members could grab a bite. The gym hit a lull mid-afternoon when the lunchtime exercisers had gone back to work, and the employees had time to clean up the place.

  Adam was bent over the lat pull machine, sanitising the equipment, when someone stepped close behind him and pinched his bum.

  “Nice ass. I’d bet it tastes as good as it looks.”

  He took his time standing up then slowly turned to face Nicolas and smiled. “So I’ve been told. What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you’re taking off early. I didn’t think the esteemed McAllister Foundation allowed anyone to leave before 6:00 and only then when you had a written excuse.”

  Nick grinned, an endearing, lopsided expression that caused Adam’s cock to stir.

  “Or a doctor’s note. I’ve faked a few of those. No, I found out this morning I have an event tonight, and I’ve no idea what time we’ll finish. To top it off, there’s a board meeting early tomorrow morning.”

  Moving a step closer, Adam pouted. “How early? Tomorrow’s my late day. I get to sleep in but have to work until close.”

  “I know.” Nick nudged his arm affectionately. “So unless I’m able to show up here sometime after my meeting to pinch your ass, it’ll have been a whole day, and that’s entirely too long to wait.” He glanced around the nearly vacant room then back at Adam. “I need to suck your cock, babe . I need you to suck mine to get me through this hellishly long day.”

  Adam coughed and laughed at the same time. It was hard to deny Nick when the man spoke to him in such an engaging tone. “O-kay. Sounds great, but I’m working, right now.”

  Nick looked around again. A lone woman huffed and puffed on a stationary bike. A female employee sat behind the desk up front. “Not too hard.”

  “Sure, but I can’t just leave. We’ll get busy in a little while when people start getting off their jobs.”

  Nick cupped Adam’s cock through his sweats. “In ‘a little while’, I’ll be back at the office, slaving away. I’m talking about now.” He motioned towards the front counter where the perfectly proportioned woman sat in her matching pink leotard and leggings. “Tell Barbie you’re cleaning the bathroom. We’ll be in and out in fifteen minutes. I’ll suck you so hard, it might only take ten.” He squeezed the growing erection and grinned.

  “Shit.” Adam thought of a dozen reasons why a bathroom quickie was a bad idea and only one reason why he should do it. Nick. He closed his eyes for a moment and enjoyed the hand caressing him then opened them again. “Five minutes. Ten tops.”

  The wicked grin nearly split Nick’s face. “I can do five. I can do you in another five. Ten minutes will be perfect.”

  Clutching a cleaning rag in front of his groin, Adam sighed. I’m such a slut. Only for Nick, who seemed to have Adam’s heart wrapped around his little finger. He took a few steps towards the front desk and called, “I’ll be right back.” His voice was a raspy squeak.

  “Sure.” His co-worker Diane nodded and waved as she looked up from her magazine.

  Adam spun around and tripped over the machine behind him. He caught himself before falling and heard Nick’s soft chuckle. Bastard, he swore silently. The outrageously sexy NEVER SAY NEVER

  man knew he couldn’t get to the bathroom quick enough and loved the predicament he’d caused.

  Adjusting his swelling cock, Adam smiled as he walked on. He loved it, too.

  Inside the large bathroom, he opened a supply closet and removed the sign that read, Showers closed for cleaning – open in fifteen minutes. He stood the orange placard upright on its triangle base and positioned it just past the urinals and stalls.

  “Ought to do it,” he said.

  “Definitely.” Nick unfastened his belt and reached for the button on his fly. He pressed Adam’s shoulders, directing him back towards the tiled room with its rows of faucets.

  Adam chose a dressing room at the far end with a privacy curtain and separate shower.

  He dragged Nick inside and drew the hanging drape closed. Another couple of steps and he reached into the enclosure and turned the handle on full force with a cold spray. After closing the plastic curtain, he glanced at Nick.

  “A little background noise.”

  “Good. We’ll need it.” Nick removed his erection from his trousers and gripped it, squeezing the shaft playfully.

  Adam groaned at the delectable sight, licking his lips. “Damn,” he murmured in a husky voice. “There’s a sight I’ll never get tired of. You’re gorgeous.”

  “Right back at you, babe. You’re the only one who can get me this hard. Only you.”

  Adam’s chest swelled with satisfaction. I’m crazy about this guy.

  His mushy thoughts were interrupted by urging from his man.

  “On your knees, lover,” Nick directed. “I want it fast, but it has to be good.”

  Chuckling, Adam lowered himself as instructed. His face was mere inches from the swollen shaft, the droplet of pre-cum glistening on the tip beckoning him. “Mmm, it’ll be good. Don’t worry.”

  Nick guided his dick into Adam’s willing mouth. “I’m not worried. Perhaps you should be, though. You understand there’s a risk of punishment if I’m not pleased.”

  Adam laughed as best he could with his mouth stuffed full of cock. He glanced up but couldn’t see Nick’s face—just heard the soft chuckle he’d grown familiar with. Is he joking?

  Nick had never talked about punishment before, but the mental image sent thrills down Adam’s spine.

  NEVER SAY NEVER

  Before Adam could dwell further on the subject, Nick began a thrusting rhythm, requiring his entire attention. He clasped Nick’s thighs and allowed the thick shaft to drive straight down his throat. He’d always been able to control his gag reflex, a skill which came in handy when deep-throating a lover. It excited him to be able to do it now. I want to do everything for Nick. Everything. Breathing through his nose, Adam accepted the face-fucking and returned the treat with unabashed enthusiasm.

  “Nice.” Nick threaded his fingers through Adam’s curly hair.

  Adam agreed with an unintelligible grunt. He dug his fingers into Nick’s legs, struggling to hang on as the man bobbed back and forth.

  “Fuck!” Nick swore. He muttered loudly and yanked Adam’s blond locks when he came. Pulsing streams of warm cum shot down Adam’s accepting throat.

  The orgasm seemed to last forever. Adam was sure his lover’s moans and mumblings could be heard outside their dressing room and fervently hoped no other guys were around.

  When the flow of cum finished, he licked the last drop and sat back on his haunches.

  “Damn, you’re good,” Nick mumbled, tucking himself into his briefs and fastening his pants. “I’m one lucky son of a bitch.”

  Adam stood and smiled. “Think so?”

  Nick grinned and pressed Adam against the dressing room wall. “I know so. You were fabulous. Unfortunately, this means I won’t have to spank your ass cheeks until they’re rosy.”

  “Where’s all this ‘punishment’ and ‘spanking’ talk coming from? You’ve never mentioned anything like it before.”

  With his hands firmly on Adam’s shoulders, Nick lowered the turtleneck shirt and sucked a spot on his neck. “Mmm, baby, it turns me on.”

  “Obviously,” Adam chuckled, attempting to control his nerves. There was no chance of controlling his burgeoning erection. To his great surprise, the talk turned him on, too. Almost as much as the intense interest his neck was getting.

  “Have we still got five minutes for me to reciprocate?” Nick murmured. “I want to make you feel as great as I do.”

  “Not sure it’ll take that long,” Adam groaned.

  Nick cupped his crotch and squeezed. “Oh, yeah. You’re nice and hard for me, already.

  I’m going to gobble you up. Don’t really want to get on the floor in my suit, though. Why don’t you turn around like this?” Moving Adam’s body so it faced the wall, Nick sat on the bench in front of him. “There we go.” His face was now at crotch level, a position he took immediate advantage of.

  Adam leant forward, pressing his hands against the wall. He inhaled as Nick released his dick and stroked it and the soft balls beneath. “Yes,” Adam murmured, anxious for the feel of Nick’s wet mouth.

  “Aren’t you forgetting something?” Nick blew a warm breath across his genitals.

  Adam’s mind raced. He’d just given a fantastic blowjob and was prepared to accept one in return. Nope, not forgetting a thing. “What?” he murmured.

  The tip of Nick’s tongue traced the slit in Adam’s cock head. “Ask for what you want, lover . Ask nicely, and I won’t make you beg.”

  His erection throbbed, and Adam shifted his weight from one foot to the other. Nick had a habit of getting him all worked up then pausing, teasing him unmercifully. Adam had grown accustomed to it, and it didn’t really bother him. The positives always outweighed the negatives. Nick was one person he didn’t mind begging. Head over heels in lust, he’d do anything for the handsome stud.

  Adam inhaled. The attention to his cock had ceased, and he needed to get it going again, pronto . “Please, babe. Suck me. Let me shoot down your throat. I’m desperate. I need it, now. Please.”

  Nick’s mouth captured the shaft and sucked it deep. His moans of approval were almost as loud as those when he’d come.

  Adam didn’t care. He was close. So close to Nirvana he could taste it, as surely as he still tasted the musky flavour of his lover’s cum. Without the support of the wall, he would have fallen. “Yes. Suck me harder!”
