Chapter Ten

Jack rang Pacey's buzzer at 8 o'clock that evening, after accepting Pacey's invitation to dinner as it would be the first time they have had a chance to catch up since Jack left for New York two weeks ago.

"Doug, could you get that please? I'm knee deep in batter here!" Pacey yelled from the kitchen as he heard the door buzzer knowing full well who was at the door. Doug begrudgingly got up to answer it.

"Hey Pace…." Jack started to say but stopped mid sentence when he realised who had opened the door "Doug? I didn't know you were going to be here?"

"I know…" Doug said without trying to sound too pissed off.

"Oh, so you knew I was coming then?" Jack quizzed Doug.

Doug stepping aside to let Jack in the apartment simply replied "Yes."

"Okay" Jack muttered.

"Hey Jack! Glad you could make it!" Pacey said grinning innocently as he came in from the kitchen and went to hug Jack.

"Pacey" Jack replied responding to Pacey's hug "You could have told me Doug was going to be here…" he whispered

"Sorry" Pacey whispered back "Last minute plan" he tried to sound convincing, but Jack knew

Pacey all too well to know when he was lying.

Pacey headed back to the kitchen and looking in Doug's direction he mouthed "get him a drink!?"

Doug got the hint, turned to Jack and said "Do you want a drink?"

"Yeah, got any beer?"

Doug handed him a bottle of beer "thanks, so how have you been?" Jack asked trying to ease the tension between them.

"Ok, thanks" Doug said coldly.

"Listen, Doug…..I didn't know you were going to be here so why you being off with me? I thought we cleared the air before I went to New York?"

"Yeah…..We did, sorry Jack…I've just not had a good day" Doug said apologetically.

"Hard day at work then? All the more reason to have a beer and relax…..you haven't forgotten to do that right?" Jack joked trying to lift Doug's mood.

Doug smiled and said warmly "No, I haven't, thanks…hey lets go and help Pacey in the kitchen, and you know how he loves help!" Doug said with a twinkle in his eye.

Jack laughed and sighed with relief as the tension had lifted and Doug was being friendly once again.

The evening actually turned out to be fun, relaxed and enjoyable for all three men. Jack and Doug ended up having a good evening being in each others company and the feelings they have for each other never became an issue and was forgotten about as the evening wore on.

Doug was staying at Pacey's so he could have a few beers; Jack didn't drink very much, so he drove back to his own apartment later that night.

He could taste the beer from the lips he caressed…he could smell the aftershave as he kissed his neck…he could feel his hands wandering up and down his back….. He could feel his hard cock rubbing against his own…..

Jack woke up the next morning to find a wet patch in the bed…"Damn" he muttered "I have really got to stop dreaming about Doug so much!…..as he looked down at his still erect cock….he still needed to have a release…..

Doug once again woke up from a restless night's sleep as Jack came creeping into his dreams….he was never really the sort of man to have a wet dream and he has never masturbated thinking about another guy, but since Jack came to town…that's all he seems to be doing now.

Doug was grateful that Pacey had yet again given up his bed, but felt guilty for soiling it….he stripped the bed and quietly crept passed a sleeping Pacey on the couch, to put the sheets on for a wash…..but he wasn't as quiet as he hoped as Pacey coughed and said sleepily:

"Morning, Bro! It's a bit early for doing the washing isn't it?"

Doug turning red said without looking at Pacey "I know I am very anal when it comes to cleaning, but I don't like leaving sheets on the bed when someone else had slept in them…."

"Okay, whatever" Pacey chuckled to himself, knowing how embarrassed Doug was feeling right now.
