out. Why do you think he dates all those women? He’s not interested in being seen with a guy, just fucking them.”
    “I wouldn’t mind that.” Patrick wiggled his eyebrows and leered at Ion.
    Ion laughed, but shook his head. “No. You deserve better than being Sidney’s secret lover. You should be worshipped and spoilt by the man you love. Not shoved in the dark because he’s not comfortable with himself.”
    Patrick threw his arm around Ion’s shoulder then hugged him. “That’s why you’re my best friend. You always look out for me and you’re right. As hot as I think Mr Richardson is, I don’t want to be fucked in the dark while being ignored during the day.”
    “We both deserve that. You’ll find your guy soon. I believe that, and while you’re waiting, we’ll go dancing and have some fun this weekend.” Ion rested his head on Patrick’s shoulder for a second before straightening.
    Patrick let his arm drop as he winked. “Sounds good to me. I haven’t gone to the clubs in a few weeks. Plus we’re going to Wander, one of the hottest gay clubs in the city. I can’t wait.”
    They started planning what they would wear and where they should go eat beforehand. It helped past the time while they rode and kept Ion from getting nervous about his dinner with Adrien that night.

Chapter Six
    Adrien knocked on Ion’s door and decided he was going to ask for a spare key that night. He’d already given Ion his spare one, so it was only fair that he got a key as well. Smiling, he held out the bouquet of flowers to Ion when the man opened his door.
    “Oh wow. These are gorgeous.” Ion took the dozen pink and white carnations then buried his face in them. “It’s been a while since a guy got me flowers.”
    After stepping inside and closing the door behind him, Adrien said, “I wasn’t sure about getting them because I was afraid you might think they were too girly. But then I said to hell with it. I like flowers and wanted to give them to you.”
    “I’m glad to know how you feel. I’ll remember that.” Ion strolled over to his kitchen area. “Let me put them in water then we can leave.”
    “Hey, do you have a spare key?” No time like the present to ask.
    “Sure. It’s in the top drawer next to the stove.” Ion gestured in the direction of the oven.
    Adrien got it out before he put it on his key ring. “You don’t mind me having one?”
    “No. Why would I? I meant to give it to you this morning before we left, but I forgot. It makes sense. I have a key to your place and you need one to mine so we don’t have to wait until the other is home before we come over.” Ion filled a vase, stuck the flowers in them then turned to throw his arms around Adrien.
    Ignoring the fact that their suits were getting wrinkled, Adrien drew Ion close to kiss him. He crushed their lips together then swept his tongue in to taste the mint of Ion’s toothpaste. Adrien let his hands slide down to grab two handfuls of Ion’s ass and he wedged his thigh between Ion’s legs.
    He rocked his groin into Ion’s and swallowed the moan escaping from Ion’s throat. Adrien got lost in the flavour of Ion’s mouth, letting the feel of their bodies moving against each other build his need. Yet he didn’t want to come right then. He wanted to keep the tension high while they enjoyed a wonderful dinner and talked.
    Easing away from Ion, he took a deep breath while trying to gain control of his lust. Ion pouted when he realised Adrien wasn’t going to take it any further.
    “We’re going to be late if we do anything right now. I don’t want to miss our reservations,” Adrien said, dropping his hands from Ion’s butt.
    “Come on. We can go out to eat later. I want you,” Ion pleaded, reaching out to press his palm against the bulge in Adrien’s pants.
    Adrien groaned as he arched into Ion’s touch, but he gripped Ion’s wrist before removing him from his groin. “As much as I’d like to do just that, I also
