Carlos and Thomas need one night when they don’t talk about planning their wedding.
Carlos’ family keeps butting in, big chunks of Thomas’ family refuse to be involved, and the stress of planning this huge celebration for this many people—many of whom don’t speak the same language—is too much.
Carlos declares that they are going to spend one night together without wedding planning. To sweeten the pot, they play a little game by pretending to meet for the first time at an expensive restaurant downtown.
But at the restaurant, Thomas runs into Jimmy Colton, an old college crush who is in town for business. By the time Carlos arrives the game has changed, and the three of them are heading back to Jimmy’s hotel room to fulfill a long held fantasy.
This is a very hot, yet sweet story about two guys who are about to get married and drowning in the stress of the preparations. They decide to take a one-night break so they can have a “life” and some romance again, but the opportunity that opens up when Thomas runs into his old college crush takes them on an entirely unexpected, yet very sexy adventure. Instead of a romantic night for just the two of them, they end up fulfilling a long-held fantasy and the heat ratchets up several levels.
Thomas is a meticulous planner, but he’s just about had it with things going wrong, family interfering, and Carlos forgetting a fitting appointment. A night out is just what they need, even if he worries about the cost. But when Jimmy turns up, Thomas realizes their fantasy role-play has changed. He is very hesitant at first, having never been with a man other than Carlos, but the temptation is too much for him, and with Carlos’s support and encouragement, Thomas embarks on an experimental journey of sexual discovery.
Carlos is the more experienced of the two, slightly more dominant, and incredibly turned on by the idea of seeing “his” Thomas interact with a hot guy from their college guys. I loved how he guides Thomas through his fears and hesitation, never putting any pressure on him to do more than he is comfortable with. Carlos himself is extremely dedicated to Thomas and very secure in their love being otherwise monogamous, and that makes a big difference for Thomas.
Jimmy, on top of being very hot, really opens up to Thomas and Carlos, adding an emotional component that makes the shared physical activity more meaningful for all of them. Without being clingy or expecting more, Jimmy gives and receives way more affection than would have been possible with total strangers. For me, that made the story even more fun to read.
If you like threesomes, if you enjoy seeing a committed couple spice up their sex lives by temporarily inviting a third man into their bed, and if you’re looking for a hot, sensual, and fun read, you will probably like this short story.
