Noel smiled as he closed the small distance that separated them. He actually understood what David meant. “I never get shy, but I did that first night you were in the theater. It was like I was exposed and… I think it was because you were nice to me. It’s easy to hide behind indifference, but when it’s stripped away….”

“Is that what bothered you tonight?” David asked.

Noel nodded. He had been so wrapped up in the fact that David was there—and he could see his friends beyond the lights—that he got distracted and stuck in his own head and forgot where he was in physical space. That was all it took, and the next thing he knew, he was in David’s arms. “At first, I thought I was okay after I’d fallen, but when I got back to my dressing room, my ankle really started to hurt.”

“I’m sorry. How does your ankle feel now?”

“What ankle?” Noel said, drawing David down into another kiss. Noel shifted on the sofa and groaned as his ankle moved. He tensed, and David pulled back and moved to give him room.

“I don’t want to hurt you,” he said softly. He took a few crackers off the plate and munched on them while Noel sighed and took a few chips to eat. Oscar seemed content, staying near his feet, radiating a ton of heat. Noel sat up and lifted off the ice, letting his foot warm for a while. It hurt more, but he couldn’t keep the cold on it forever.

“It was me, not you,” Noel said, leaning nearer once more. David poured him something to drink, and the two of them sat together. David turned on the television, and Noel propped up his foot, with Oscar on one side of him and David on the other. The scene was entirely too comfortable, even with the pain in his foot. Noel could so easily get used to this… and maybe that was what he was afraid of.

OnceGhostsended, Noel yawned, and David helped him up and to the single flight of stairs. David lifted him easily, and they went up to a large bedroom with simple, heavy wood furniture and a light gray duvet on the bed. There was something masculine about the furniture, but the curtains were lighter, and the light blue walls gave the room a peaceful feel. Noel sat on the side of the bed, and David brought his bag, placing it next to him. “The bathroom is right across the hall, and don’t be surprised if Oscar pays you a visit. He seems to like you.”

Noel nodded, looking up at David. He couldn’t help wondering why he was being so nice. “Thank you.” As David had said earlier, going into the motives of others tended to lead him down a rabbit hole. Everything Noel knew told him that David was a nice man and that he should just accept it.

“I’ll let you get ready for bed.” He handed Noel a couple pain pills that Noel took with some water. “But if you need anything, just let me know. My room is right down the hall.” David paused in the doorway before hurrying back inside. He kissed him and then left Noel alone.

Noel heard his footsteps on the stairs, figuring that David was probably closing up the house. He got undressed and lay back on the bed, pulling the covers over him, but the weight pressed on his ankle, and combined with the pain, he found it nearly impossible to rest, even once David returned and the lights were off. The ibuprofen dulled the throbbing somewhat, but mostly Noel lay awake in the strange room, listening to the sounds of the house and willing the ache to go away.

At some point, he got up and hobbled across the hall to the bathroom to use the facilities. In the hall, he noticed a dim light from David’s room. Using the wall for stability, he half hopped down. “Did I keep you up?” Noel asked.

David shook his head from where he sat on the edge of the bed, bare-chested, looking like a dream in the soft glow. “No. I usually don’t sleep very well.” He wiped his eyes, and Noel entered the room, drawn by sheer animal magnetism. David was everything Noel’s imagination had told him and more. His arms were indeed strong, as was his chest, covered with a light dusting of dark hair down the middle. Noel couldn’t help following the lines on his belly to where they disappeared into a pair of sleep shorts that left little to Noel’s ample imagination. “Do you want help returning to your room?” Noel shook his head, standing still, the room growing warmer by the second. “I can get you some water.” Once again, Noel moved his head to the side. “What…?” David asked, and paused as Noel took a small hop closer.

He landed in front of David, hands on his legs, closing the distance between the two of them. “David….”

“Yeah…?” he said roughly. “I won’t pressure you into anything.”

Noel pressed David back on the bed, holding him so that David brought Noel along with him. He was so hot, and Noel ran his hands over David’s chest and then up to his neck. “You aren’t,” he whispered before kissing David hard.

Strong arms closed around his back, holding him, and Noel forgot about everything other than the fact that he was here with David. Intensity built within seconds, and Noel was on fire. He backed away just long enough to tug off the T-shirt he wore before crushing their chests together.

“Are you sure about this?” David asked him. “You told me you don’t do private performances.”

Noel smiled. “Do I look like I can dance about now?” He shivered as David ran his hands down his back and then slipped one under his shorts and over his rear end. He loved the feel of those hands, so strong, so sure, and Noel groaned softly as David slipped his shorts down.

It took some doing for him to get them off without banging his foot, but Noel managed, and David rolled him on the bed, getting him settled with his head on the pillow, his intense eyes meeting his. David removed the last of his clothes and settled between Noel’s legs. Noel hadn’t been sure what to expect from David—intensity yes, even energy, and he was all that, but gentle too. Each movement held power, Noel could feel it, but he was also kind and his movements slow and deliberate, each designed to drive Noel crazy, which he did with his hands and lips before sending Noel halfway to the moon, swallowing him hard.

Noel thrust his hips and sat up slightly just because he had to watch as David damn near swallowed his cock whole. That sight was spectacular and hot as hell. He lay back down and gave himself over to the sheer pleasure. “Don’t stop.”

David hummed around him and bobbed his head, taking Noel once again, threatening to blow his mind all to hell. When David backed away, and Noel could see straight once more, he brought their lips together. “I’m not going to stop until you tell me to.”

“Then we’ll go on forever,” Noel whispered.

David nuzzled the crook of his neck. “I’m perfectly okay with that.” He stroked Noel’s cock slowly, working his throat with his tongue, until Noel barely knew which way was up. He wanted this to never end, and yet he knew there was no way he was going be able to take it. Sensations built, one on top of the other, until he was no longer in control. That would be David and the delicious thing he told Noel: “Man can truly fly and never have to leave the bedroom to do it.”

“David,” Noel moaned. “I….”

“It’s okay. Just give yourself over.”

“But I don’t want it to end, and….” He clamped his eyes closed, trying to hold on, but David was too talented and seemed to know how to play Noel like he was an instrument. Noel breathed deeply, pressure building at the base of his spine, his entire back tingling, the feeling spreading through his legs and hands before washing over him completely. Unable to hold back any longer, Noel’s release slammed into him, and he cried out as he came in blinding ecstasy, clamping his hands onto the bedding in an attempt to keep himself from flying to pieces as sparks blazed behind his eyes.

Noel lay still, and David cradled him in his arms. “Give me a minute….” Noel breathed deeply.

“It’s okay,” David soothed, gently rubbing Noel’s belly. “Watching you was the hottest thing I think I’ve ever seen, and I already took care of things.” David got some tissues to do a quick cleanup, and then made sure Noel was settled in the bed before turning out the light. “It’s been a long time since I’ve slept with anyone.”

“I see. Are you a kicker or something?” Noel asked.
