Actors Matt and Danny have been working together for six months with a touring theatre company. Before the tour even started Matt made it clear that he didn't get involved with co-workers, so Danny has spent the last six months denying his attraction to Matt. But the curtain has fallen on their final performance, and Matt invites Danny to his hotel room for a night cap and a confession.

Sample

"So, uh, do you fancy a night cap?" I asked when we got to the hotel. It was one of those budget chain places, really basic, but clean and friendly enough, and there was a small bar that stayed open late for guests.

Matt hesitated for a moment, chewing on the inside of his lower lip in that way he did when he was thinking. Disappointment clawed at me; I was sure that he was going to refuse.

"How about we finish off that bottle of Chivas in my room?" he asked. For the first time since I'd known him, Matt looked uncertain. It was kind of an adorable look on him.

I managed to keep my joy at the invite to myself, didn't do a cartwheel or anything else that would make me look like a moron. I smiled and nodded, proud of my composure. "Sounds good."

Following him to the elevator, I took the opportunity to let my gaze wander over him -- I'd been careful not to let myself get caught staring, but in this situation, with no-one else around and Matt's back to me, I looked my fill of his broad shoulders, trim waist and tight little arse. It was truly a sight for tired, sore eyes, and my body responded predictably, pulse kicking up a notch, dick pushing against the front of my jeans, adrenalin chasing away the exhaustion that had been dragging me down.
