STORY EXCERPTS

“Exactly how much trouble is he?” Edward Green asked his old friend and new boss, Tory Albertson.

Tory, a middle-aged black man with an impeccable taste in fashion, sat behind a big mahogany desk. The tailored suit Tory wore probably cost more than all the suits Edward had in his closet. “I wouldn’t say he’s trouble. Spoiled is a better word.”

The two of them had known each other since the day Edward was born. Tory had lived and grown up next door to him in Boston, and then moved to New Orleans to attend college. Since then, he only came back for a visit every now and then. “You mean he’s used to getting his way?”

Tory rocked back in his seat. “Yes. He’s from a rich family.”

“Oh, something like you?” Edward asked.

“Very funny,” Tory said.

“You mean he’s a diva.”

“Yes, and a smart one, too. He’s a college graduate, actually has a full-time job as a computer consultant, and he can sing his ass off.”

“Oh, so he’s an intelligent brat. When am I going to meet him?” Someone knocked at the door.

“Right now,” Tory answered. “Come in.”

The door opened, and a young man entered. Edward’s heart skipped a beat. The newcomer was simply stunning, with short red stylish hair, exotic green eyes, and a face with perfect features. The artist in him begged to immortalize the newcomer on canvas or in stone.

“Noel Charles, I’d like you to meet Mr. Edward Green. He’s going to be your new manager.”

Shock registered on Noel’s face. “What happened to Marshall?”

Marshall White was the man who used to manage the popular rhythm-and-blues singer.

“I got rid of him like you asked me to,” Tory said to Noel. “You know me. I do anything to keep my idols happy.” He paused. “Try not to rub this one the wrong way.”

Edward expected the younger male to defend himself.

“Not my fault he has issues,” Noel said, coming up to him and shaking his hand. “Hi, I’m Noel Charles. Please take care of me.”

Noel’s hand was freakishly soft, but not in a bad way. Edward didn’t want to let go of it. He did so under protest. “You look harmless enough. What did you do to make him leave?”

Noel sat down on the sofa next to him. “Nothing. Why do you assume I did something? Don’t believe everything you hear about me.”

Tory chuckled wickedly. "I think the two of you will work well together.”

Noel turned to Edward. “Have you ever managed a singer before?”

The southern accent drove Edward wild. “Yes, but you are my first big-name celebrity in the United States.”

“Well, you’ve come at the right time,” Noel said. “We’re about to go on a tour of Europe, and since I’m a professional, there’s very little you’ll have to do except keep me happy.”

Tory continued to chuckle. Apparently, he found this kid amusing, and there was no doubt he knew something about Noel that he didn’t. Edward couldn’t wait to find out.

Noel ran his gaze over Edward. “You look like you can bench-press a horse.”

Edward flexed a muscle at him. “I’m pretty good at spanking problem singers, too.” Noel scooted away from him.

“I knew you were the right man for the job,” Tory said. “If he steps out of line, you have mine and his father’s permission to turn him over your knee and give him a sound thrashing.”

Noel gasped. “My father knows about this?”

Tory nodded. “Hell yes. It’s partly his fault you turned out this way. Besides he’s very concerned about his youngest son’s future and wants to make sure you behave yourself on tour.”

Noel frowned at him. “I’m twenty-five years old, not five.”

Edward ran his gaze over him. “I can’t believe you frightened your other manager away. What did you do, threaten to hit him with your Prada bag?”

Noel scowled at him. “No, I threatened to have Tory fire him.”

“I assure you that that won’t work on me,” Edward said arrogantly. “I eat pretty little guys like you for dessert.”

Tory groaned from his seat. “He’s not for dating, Edward. He’s already involved with an idiot. Hey, maybe you can get that one in line, too.”

“His boyfriend is going on the trip with him?” Edward asked.

Noel gasped loudly and glared at Tory. “You told him that I’m dating a guy? I thought we had to keep that confidential.”

“I didn’t say a word,” Tory said.

ADULT EXCEPT

Edward hoped the champagne was wearing off Noel because he wanted this to be a night they both remembered. He walked over to the tub. Noel slid up to make room. Amazingly they both fit.

Noel rested against Edward’s chest. “You have a rocking body.” He spun around to face him and planted a kiss against Edward’s lips. His hand went beneath the water and circled Edward’s cock. Noel gave it a gentle squeeze.

“Harder,” Edward said.

Noel tightened his grip and then began stroking him. “I can’t wait to get you inside of me.” He moved his hand faster.

Edward got into the groove by moving his hips, which wasn’t easy in the tub.

Noel freed him and stood up. He began soaping his body and washing for Edward’s pleasure. He stroked his cock with the wet hand. “Oh! I’m getting hard.”

“Here, let me do that,” Edward said as he stood up. He grabbed a towel. “You have such delicate skin.”

“I moisturize and try to stay out of the sun,” Noel said. He turned so Edward could get at his ass. “I had an HIV test recently. I’m negative of course.”

“Me, too.” Edward dipped a finger between the crack of Noel’s ass. Noel trembled.

“You’ve been down this road before,” Noel said.

“Once or twice,” Edward answered. He made Noel bend over, and he eased the middle digit inside of him. Noel’s moaning aroused Edward.

Noel took the soap from him and began washing him. He ran his hands along Edward’s arms, chest, down his stomach and began massaging his balls. “I want to suck you.” He started down, but Edward stopped him.

“This porcelain is bad on the knees. Let’s rinse and move to the bedroom.” They got the soap off them and stepped out of the tub. Edward dried both of them and led Noel to the other room. Noel’s bedroom also had a chaise, a chair covered in white material, and a platform bed with drapes on three sides of it. The room was fit for a superstar. Soft classical music played from a radio.

Edward got on the bed and put a pillow behind his back. Noel crawled between his legs, wrapped his fingers around Edward’s dick, and went down on him. He sucked and licked the head and then took more of Edward’s shaft down his throat. There was no way in the world Noel could be considered a rookie at this. He knew just the right amount of pressure to use when squeezing Edward’s balls and how much cock to put in his mouth so he wouldn’t choke. The sight of the younger man’s head bobbing up and down turned Edward on. The color of Noel’s hair fascinated him. He inched his finger into the silky red tresses. Edward closed his eyes for a moment and enjoyed the best blowjob he’d ever experienced. He gently pushed the younger man aside as the orgasm threatened to put in an appearance. “I don’t want to come just yet,” Edward said. “Not before fucking you.”

Noel lifted his head. “I have lube.”

“Don’t need it,” Edward said. He wiggled his tongue at Noel. “On your knees.”

Noel climbed aboard the bed and assumed the position. He spread his legs.

Edward approached, got behind him, and buried his face in the two cheeks. Noel smelled like the soap they just used. He ran his tongue along the crack and then speared him with the tip of his tongue. Noel’s body shook. Edward pushed his tongue in farther and then used some spittle to prepare Noel for penetration. Edward removed his mouth and inserted his fingers. Noel softened up nicely.

“Oh my God, that feels so good,” Noel said.

He was literally trying to suck Edward’s fingers inside of him. Edward pulled them out and got a condom out of his wallet. He opened it quickly, slipped it on, and slowly entered him. Noel tried to take control and get Edward inside him again. “None of that, little butterfly. I’m leading this dance.” Edward thrust deep.

“Oh lord!” Noel cried out.

Edward wrapped his arms around Noel’s waist to keep him up. Warmth surrounded his cock as he moved it in and out of Noel. He was a tight fit, but not impossible. Noel rocked on his knees.

“That’s it. Work that perfect body.” Noel reminded him of a sleek panther…long upper torso, rounded rump, and strong legs. He withdrew. “Roll over and let me see that pretty face.”

Noel got on his back. “Hurry and get inside of me, Edward.”

Edward guided his rock-hard cock into the tight cocoon. Noel wrapped those shapely gams around his waist and sank down on his dick.

“You fill me so completely,” Noel moaned as he got his ass moving again.

Noel was definitely the hottest young man he’d ever made love to and the loveliest. Edward had always been interested in fems, and he’d fallen for Noel as soon as they met in Tory’s office.

“Oh, Edward, I think I’m about to come.”

That was his cue. Edward moved in close and started thrusting, while Noel worked that ass on his shaft. Noel’s body glistened under the moonlight filtering in through the window.

“Ah, ah, oh!” Noel came first.

Edward looked down just in time to witness it. He stopped thrusting and started humping until he felt the orgasm he’d been sustaining. “Uh! Ooh!” He came so hard his stomach cramped. Noel stopped trembling beneath him. He lowered his legs. Edward stayed in place a moment, trying not to put too much weight on top of the smaller man. He eased out of the warmest ass in the south and lay down beside Noel.

Noel surprised him by cuddling up next to him. “That was wonderful, Edward,” he uttered just before he dozed off.
