Matt sat back against the couch gasping for air. Shane laughed and leaned against him, still running his hands along Matt's chest. Matt had just decided they were wearing too many clothes and pulled his t-shirt off. He reached for Shane's next, who allowed the removal without argument. Matt then pushed Shane down on the couch and raised himself on top of him, kissing Shane long and slow. Shane made a moaning sound in the back of his throat that was driving Matt crazy. He deepened the kiss. Shane's hands kept wandering. Matt was in heaven.

"Not to put a damper on things, babe," Shane breathed softly. Matt suddenly felt an amazing shiver coarse down his spine at the endearment.

"But?" he whispered into Shane's mouth, pecking the other man's lips with sweet little kisses.

"But how long have you been keeping this little secret from me?" Shane smiled up at him before flipping them over and planting himself firmly on top of Matt, who was now blushing to the roots of his hair.

"Um," Matt began, not able to look away from Shane's intense gaze.

"Um?" Shane prompted with a suddenly possessive look. "It's not a trick question, Matty-boy. How long have you been into guys?"

"Not into all guys," Matt said wrinkling his nose. "Just one."

"Just one?" Shane said, breaking into the sexy grin that always sent tingles through Matt's body. "Only one? You never did anything with anyone else?"

"Nope," Matt could feel his face flame. He felt like such a virgin, which technically he was. Not with the ladies, but definitely where it counted.

"How long?" Shane was relentless.

Matt sighed. He knew his friend would want to know all about Matt's feelings, but he was hoping not to have to tell him right away. It just made the older Hardy feel desperate. But he knew Shane wasn't going to let up on the conversation until they had it, so he decided to get it over with.

"Since before you dated Billy," Matt murmured meekly looking to the side.

"BEFORE?" Shane exclaimed, bringing Matt's chin back so he had to look Shane in the eyes. "Why didn't you talk to me? We ARE best friends, aren't we?"

"Yeah," Matt said. "But I didn't know how to tell you without it sounding all whiny and desperate. And by the time I decided to talk to you, you were already dating Billy. And I didn't want you to start feeling weird around me."

"So you just swallowed it?" Shane looked shocked. "All this time?"

Matt nodded mutely and tried to look away again.

"Oh no you don't," Shane shook his head. "You will NOT continue to avoid your feelings for me."

"Like you should talk," Matt smiled smugly.

"Good point," Shane grinned again. "I ain't NEVER avoiding my feelings for you again either."

"Agreed," Matt whispered as Shane closed the distance between their mouths and they kissed on it.

Jeff toyed with his cell phone while staring at his bedroom ceiling. He wondered if Matt was getting anywhere with Shane right now. His brother had been gone a long time. He just hoped Matt's friendship with Shane withstood the strain it was currently under. Matt wouldn't be able to deal with losing Shane, Jeff knew. He'd apparently been in love with him for a long time. So in love, he'd lived through the heartache of watching from afar as Shane loved another man.

Man, how hard must that have been? Jeff couldn't fathom it. He had a hard enough time dealing with watching Shannon date Crystal. But if Shannon were with another man, that would be the end of Jeff's mind. He knew he'd lose it. To know the love of your life rejects you for a woman is one thing. But if Shannon rejected him for another man, well Jeff didn't know what he'd do. But he knew it wouldn't be pretty.

Of course, Jeff reasoned, if Shannon did have those inclinations, it would probably be Jeff's fault for taking advantage of him that night. He didn't know what came over him but they were getting so emotionally close that night and suddenly Jeff's control just vanished. He had looked down at Shannon after bouncing back onto the trampoline and the younger man just looked so breathtakingly tousled. Jeff had to have him. He had to. The next morning he was wracked with guilt. Shannon was so innocent and he just knew he'd taken some of that from him. He could barely look him in the eye in the light of morning.

Jeff sighed. But that night was magical. It was the only night in his life he'd ever felt emotionally connected with anyone he'd slept with. He'd known for a while before it happened that Shannon was his soul mate. But if he didn't, that night cemented it. Thinking back he remembered how sweetly Shannon trembled as he came for Jeff. And how delicious he tasted. He also remembered that after Shannon's orgasm, the small blond, exhausted, still tried to protest that Jeff hadn't released. He remembered telling Shannon to sleep and pulling the smaller body into his arms. His cock twitched at the memory.

God, it was hard for Jeff to get passed the guilt. He still dreamed of having Shannon like that again, but knew it wasn't meant to be. Jeff also knew he was doomed to live his life wanting Shannon, but never having him. At least Matt understood how he felt.

"Shaney, make love to me," Matt begged with deep chocolate brown eyes that etched their image into Shane's soul. How could he say no?

"Are you sure?" he asked gently. "You've never done it before. I think it would help if we worked up to that slowly."

"But I want you."

"Sh-hh," Shane pressed his finger against Matt's lips. "I know. I want you, too. You don't even know how badly I want you. But I think we should start slowly."

Matt's pout made Shane grin again. He would never get enough of Matt's cute expressions. Never. And never did he dream that Matt had felt the same way about him all the while. Damn, the time they wasted! No matter, Shane promised himself. They would make up for every bit of it!

"How about I help you out there?" Shane smiled as he eased himself down Matt's body and unzipped the Hardy's black pants. Matt looked down in wonder and passion. Oh yeah, they would start making up for lost time right now.

Juvi smiled as Evan threw him onto the bed with a bit more force than usual. He liked it rough anyway, and Evan needed to let off some steam.

"So, now we're both unemployed," Evan growled, throwing himself on top of the naked and writhing Juvi.

"We can get a gig somewhere," Juvi soothed. "We're still marketable."

"True," Evan conceded. He took Juvi's earlobe between his front teeth and bit down gently, tugging at it. Juvi let out a soft moan of pleasure and held Evan to his ear.

"Maybe we should find another young rookie to corrupt for a while," Juvi suggested, undulating against Evan's hard on with his own stiff shaft.

"Maybe," Evan groaned, biting lightly on his lover's neck. "Or maybe it's time we finally collected our golden prize."

"Shannon?" Juvi sighed. Just the name sent his body into ecstasy. His movements sharpened and Evan drew in a sharp breath to keep control. He never liked to cum too quickly, preferring to reduce Juvi into a whimpering, begging mass first. Juvi didn't mind. But he liked it most when they had a third in their bed. That way Evan and Juvi could both feel the power of making someone beg for release. Juvi craved control once in a while. For Evan, it was vital.

"Yes, Shannon," Evan purred, licking and biting his way down Juvi's neck and chest, to his caramel colored abdomen. Juvi writhed some more, urging Evan to continue. "How badly have you yearned for him, love?"

"So badly," Juvi murmured, suddenly thinking of Shannon's sweet mouth. "So very badly."

Evan continued toward the grand prize, Juvi's hard and throbbing cock. He breathed on it hotly, causing Juvi to groan in both pain and pleasure. Evan loved to tease him. Finally, Juvi felt the tip of Evan's tongue run up his shaft slowly. Agonizingly slow. Just the way the young Latino liked it.

"Ye-e-sssss, mi amor," he hissed through gritted teeth. "More, por favore."

"You want more, love?"

"Yes, Evan," Juvi gasped. "Please?"

"I'll give you more," Evan's voice was husky. "But I want you to put an image in your mind while I do it."

"An image?" Juvi's mind was barely functioning. "Of what?"

"An image of Shannon," Evan said, licking over the tip of Juvi's cock, which now leaked precum. "Think of him lying beneath you like this. Picture his face as you torture his cock."

"Oh!"

"Remember how sweet he tasted?"

"Si!"

"Remember how good he smelled?" Evan positioned his lips above Juvi's cock.

"SI!"

Evan slammed down on Juvi's cock and deep throated him. Juvi felt his heart kick into overdrive as he pictured what he would do to Shannon and felt Evan's mouth. The sensation built so fast he didn't have time to prepare himself and he suddenly came hard, screaming Shannon's name. The convulsions took him over and he blacked out from the force. He was completely unconscious while Evan smiled at him as he licked up the mess.
