…Casper’s heart pounded harder, like he’d just run a marathon. He

was  terrified  he  couldn’t  meet  Lando’s  expectations.  Casper  wasn’t
that experienced and he  was  afraid of  what  Lando  might do  when he
realized that. He moved in front of Lando. He pulled his leather loafers
off  and  tossed  them  aside.  Then  he  pulled  his  shirt  over  his  head
without unbuttoning it and tossed it toward the orange chair. It missed.
So what. He started to unzip his pants.

“No. Stop,” Lando said. “Let me look at you. Turn around slowly.

Don’t move so quickly.”

Casper turned slowly. He had to focus on his breathing; he was

starting to hyperventilate. He slowed it down. Casper recalled the text
message he’d finally gotten up the nerve to send to Lando more than a
month before.

Meet me where nobody knows either of us and I’ll do anything you

want. It will just be between you and me.

It was a bold move and very out of character for Casper, who had

been dubbed the librarian because he was always so quiet and
studious.

Lando’s text response came as a surprise.
Are we talking about fucking?
Lando didn’t mince words, he got right to the point of things

apparently.

They had stood across from each other in the elegant lobby of the

first-class hotel where they were both employed. The message arrived
on  Casper’s  phone.  He  had  glanced  across  at  Lando.  Good-looking
and  sexy  and  Casper  couldn’t  stand  it  another  day.  It  was  do or die.
He’d never done anything like this before, but he had to have the man
even  if  it  was  only  for  just  one  night.  Just  one,  and  Casper  knew  he
could die a happy man…

LOVE ME TONIGHT

CHAPTER 1

Summer heat brought to mind steamy nights and stripping

naked.  Skinny  dipping  and  slick  wet  bodies.  Especially  the  slick,
wet bodies. Casper had never done this before. Probably wouldn’t
ever  do  it  again.  But  tonight,  if  Lando  Madrid  really  did  accept
Casper’s  offer  of  a  “no  strings  attached,  fun  in  the  sack”  night,
Casper was going to get the fucking of his life.

Casper watched from the window of the Hideaway Hills motel

room, located just off I-90, about fifty miles outside of Seattle. The
motel  choice  had  been  Lando’s  suggestion.  It  had  made  Casper
curious  about  whether  Lando  had  made  use  of  the  rundown  little
place  that  reminded  him  of  the  Bates  Motel,  on  some  previous
occasion.  It  had  also  brought  to  mind  images  of  Lando  fucking
some  other  guy  on  the  bed  Casper  had  just  remade  with  fresh

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

sheets. He tried not to think about it now. He shouldn’t be jealous.
After  all,  he  and  Lando  had  never  had  sex  before.  There  was
nothing,  and  likely  would  be  nothing,  proprietary  about  their
relationship.  This  would  be  the  first  time—maybe  the  only  time
they  would  be  together.  But  it  was  a  night  that  Casper  had  been
waiting for a very long time.

The motel would have taken some finding if Lando hadn’t

already  been  aware  of  it.  But  it  was  just  the  sort  of  place  they
required.  Somewhere  that  nobody  could  recognize  them  as
working at the Hotel Draysden in Seattle. Wasn’t this just a far cry
from  the  place  they  worked  at?  If  anyone  knew,  they’d  probably
laugh their asses off. It looked more like a no-frills sort of place for
sportsmen…or steamy secret assignations. Well, just like this.

Casper held his breath as he saw the headlights of a vehicle as

it rounded the turn toward the weed-infested cracked macadam that
had  probably  once  called  itself  a  parking  lot.  As  the  car  moved
closer  to  the  room  Casper  had  rented  for  the  night,  and  the  dirty
yellow glow of the night light beamed out to catch the shape of the
car,  Casper’s  gaze  widened.  The  flashy  vintage  candy  apple  red
Ford Galaxie was not what he expected Lando to be driving at all.
And  yet,  as  the  car  rolled  into  the  parking  spot  right  next  to
Casper’s  much  more  sedate  silver  2012  Prius  he  had  to  wonder
about  his  preconceptions  regarding  Lando,  because  actually  the
vehicle was a perfect foil for Lando.

This whole thing was a unique and strange experience for

Casper.  He’d  sent  the  text  to  Lando  on  the  spur  of  the  moment.
Their positions hadn’t really offered them an opportunity to get to
know one another on a social level as much as Casper might have
liked.  Casper  was  in  management,  Lando  was  staff.  They  hadn’t
actually  conversed  to  any  great  depth  up  to  this  point,  so  likely

LOVE ME TONIGHT

there’d be a lot more surprises by the end of the night. Casper had
simply  reached  a  point,  after  watching  the  man  over  the  last  two
years,  and  he  needed  to  bring  things  to  a  head…so  to  speak.  No
one  could  have  been  more  shocked  than  Casper,  when  Lando
actually agreed to the proposal.

Casper watched the driver park the car. Anticipation roiled in

his  stomach.  He  waited  for  the  driver  to  step  out  of  the  vehicle,
then he would know for sure. The car was a low-riding red-topped
convertible,  tricked  out  very  nicely,  and  that  alone  had  Casper
salivating. Only a man very confident in himself would drive a car
like  that.  And  noting  the  pristine  condition  of  the  vehicle,  Casper
wasn’t  surprised  in  the  least  about  the  list  of  things  Lando  had
demanded  Casper  accomplish  to  prepare  the  room  before  his
arrival. The man certainly was all about attention to detail. Casper
was even more turned on by seeing this facet of Lando’s nature.

The shiny red car door swung open. Casper’s grip on the

cleaning  rag  tightened.  He  saw  the  black-booted  foot  hit  the
ground first. Casper held his breath. It felt like he’d been  waiting
for  this  moment  forever.  The  time  had  been  agreed  on,  and  now
here they were.

A dark-haired attractive man wearing sunglasses stepped out of

the sleek red car. He was dressed in casual clothing—black chinos,
a light-colored sweater with a V-neck, long sleeves shoved up,
exposing his dark, muscular forearms. Casper’s stomach did a flip-
flop. He had only ever seen Lando dressed in this manner once
before. Usually when Casper saw Lando, he was wearing his blue
and gray uniform.

As Casper watched, Lando removed the sunglasses. He leaned

in and set them on the dashboard. Oh, it was him all right. There
was no mistake about those wide shoulders and the way he stood,

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

casual,  one  leg  bent  at  the  knee.  For  just  a  moment  he  leaned
against  the  car  and  surveyed  the  motel  building,  seeming  in  no
particular  hurry  to  get  to  the  room.  Casper  wondered  what  was
going through his mind.

From a distance, Casper had seen him in a similar stance so

many  times  before,  as  he  waited  for  someone  to  do  something  or
other  at  the  hotel.  The  desk  clerk  to  hand  over  a  key  card,  a
manager  to  give  instructions,  a  guest  wanting  answers.  Calm,
collected,  attentive  to  every  word.  Beautiful,  quiet,  with  a
commanding  attitude.  The  way  he  stood  now  was  just  the  way
Casper  saw  Lando  in  his  dreams  at  night.  He  belonged  on
television,  he  belonged  on  the  big  screen  with  a  close-up  of  the
man’s face and his dreamy bedroom eyes offering an invitation to
join him. The man, the car, Casper couldn’t wait to learn more.

Of course, the things he really wanted to know, Lando kept to

himself.  How  many  lovers  he’d  had,  jockeys  or  boxers…or
nothing.  Casper  had  watched  him  cross  the  reception  area  once
with  that  thought  uppermost  in  his  mind.  He  couldn’t  tell  with
Lando’s uniform whether he wore underwear or not. But now he’d
get the chance to find out.

Discreet inquiries at the hotel had gotten him no further

personal information. If Casper wanted to find out something, he
was going to have to get it directly from the man himself. Lando
didn’t play cards with the other guys. He didn’t go out after work
to any of the bars. He didn’t stay for the holiday parties for more
than an extra moment or two. He seemed to be a very private kind
of person, with a certain natural charisma that drew people to him,
no matter what his position was. His sharing was discreet. Like his
wardrobe. But looking at the car Lando drove, Casper knew there
were depths yet unexplored.

LOVE ME TONIGHT

Lando always had that certain enigmatic look about him. A

hooded  gaze  that  shielded  his  thoughts  from  view.  He  was
probably  a  very  good  poker  player.  But  Casper  had  to  admit  it
frustrated  him  at  times.  Casper  turned  to  survey  the  room.  He
pulled out his cell phone and glanced at the list  Lando had texted
him. Yes,  he’d covered everything. He put the  phone  back  in  his
pocket.

At least the room smelled better than when he’d arrived. And

he’d remade the bed with clean black sheets and matching
pillowcases he’d bought at a big box store on the way here. Casper
glanced around the room. Candles in varying lengths and sizes
were lit, giving off a better ambiance to the cheap motel room. He
wiped the laminated wood table one more time and then tossed the
cleaning rag into the trash. He quickly went to the sink and washed
his hands. He turned to survey the room as he wiped his hands on
the cheap towel. Casper crossed the room to sit on the edge of the
plastic orange chair where he could watch the door.

Yes, everything looked as perfect as it was going to get in a

place like this. There was, after all, only so much a man could do
to make it habitable. Both of them were used to a lot better
surroundings. The upscale, grand place they worked at was a far
cry from this tiny hole-in-the-wall.

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

CHAPTER 2

Casper had left the door unlocked, and as he watched, the silver

door handle turned and finally Lando stepped across the threshold.
Casper released the breath he’d been holding. Lando filled up the
doorway.  Like some conquering Spanish  warlord of old,  he stood
there  for  one  long  moment  surveying  the  room.  Casper  could  see
the dark curling hairs peeking out above the opened neckline of the
daffodil  colored  sweater.  The  line  of  his  black  chinos  fell  model
perfect over his hips. How did a man in his position happen to look
this good?

Lando turned and his deep blue gaze met Casper’s. He

wondered  what  Lando  thought.  Casper,  dressed  in  beige  khakis
and  a  pale  blue  button-down  shirt  felt  like  a  faded  spot  on  the
chintzy  wallpaper  now  that  Lando  had  entered  the  room.  Feeling

LOVE ME TONIGHT

nervous, Casper slowly rose and he stepped forward to greet
Lando. He wiped his palms against his trousers. God, he hated
having damp palms. This man shouldn’t reduce him to this. But he
did.

“You decided to come,” Casper said.
Stepping farther into the room, the door slamming shut behind

him, Lando efficiently blocked out the rest of the world. And now,
at  last,  it  was  just  the  two  of  them.  Lando  smelled  of  fine,  clean
things. Casper inhaled sharply. Musk, maybe some vanilla, earthy
sandalwood  perhaps.  The  mix  of  scents  was  intoxicating.  Lando
gave  Casper  the  shadow  of  a  smile  as  his  gaze  rode  over  him
assessingly.

“Your invitation intrigued me.”
“Do you get a lot of propositions like this?” Casper couldn’t

help asking the question.

Lando shrugged. “In my position, I get a few. Usually from

women. It took a lot of guts to approach me the way you did. I
admire that in a man. But are you certain you know what you’re
asking for?”

“I’ve asked around. Discreetly, of course. As far as I can tell no

rumors of rudeness or disrespect or otherwise. Most of the people I
spoke with have the greatest respect for you, at all levels, and
that’s not easy to do. I’ve been watching you for the last year.”

“Watching me?” Lando asked a little sharply.
“Not the way you think. We can’t help but stumble across each

other on occasion,  you  know. But it  wasn’t  until I saw  you in the
Cascade  Bar  that  I  thought  maybe…  Well,  until  then,  I  didn’t
know  you  were  gay,  so  all  I  allowed  myself  to  do  was…  Well,
enjoy the view so to speak. But when I saw you in the bar, then I
knew. You keep your private life very close, don’t you?”

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

“I guard my personal life. It’s nobody’s business.” He

shrugged. “What I like, who I like, and how I like it is my
business. No one else’s. And I expect my privacy to remain that
way.”

“Yet, you’re here. Do you trust me to keep your secrets?”
Lando circled the room. He studied the candles, the new sheets

on the bed, then he turned back to Casper. “I don’t know yet. But
I’ve asked around about you, too.”

“We don’t travel in the same circles.”
“No, we don’t. I’d bet we grew up differently as well. I’ll bet

you went to private schools and expensive universities. I went to
public school and just barely stayed out of the gangs. But, when it
comes down to it, in a place like this, we level the playing field, sí?

Casper licked his lips. He was so ready for the games to begin.

“But I bet we have similar dreams, similar fantasies. Or we
wouldn’t be here, would we?” Casper paused. Lando remained
silent. “No promises,” Casper finally said.

“None,” Lando agreed. “No strings attached.”
“No strings,” Casper echoed.
Casper took several steps toward Lando. Casper’s cock was

already hard. He reached out, but, like a striking viper, Lando
grabbed his wrist and stopped Casper from touching him. The grip
was not so punishing, but Lando certainly made Casper aware of
who had the control. “Have you done this before?” Lando asked.

“No. Not in a long time,” Casper responded, not fighting the

firm grip on his wrist.

Lando glanced at the bed. “You did as I requested.”
“Yes. Do you like them?”
Lando released Casper’s wrist and walked over to the bed. He

ran his hands across the sheets. “Very nice.” He checked the

LOVE ME TONIGHT

corners on the bed. “I am impressed. Perfect corners. I wouldn’t
have expected a man like you to make your own bed so well.”

“I possess a certain skill. My father was in the military and he

was a bit of a taskmaster about certain things. If the corners
weren’t right, he had a habit of ripping all the bedding off and
making me do it again. Maybe you don’t know as much about me
as you think you do.”

“He sounds harsh,” Lando said. “Any brothers or sisters?”
“No. Just me.” He hesitated for just a fraction of a second. “I

had  a  younger  brother,  but  he  died  when  he  was  two.  A  blood
disease.  My  mother  wouldn’t  agree  to  more  children  after  that.”
Another  one  of  those  silences.  Lando  stared  off  toward  the
curtained  window.  “And  you?”  Casper  asked  in  order  to  fill  the
void.

“Five sisters, one brother.”
“Where do you fit in the line-up? I always wanted to be part of

a large family.”

“It’s not as much fun as you might think. Especially when you

know you’re different. You learn to keep certain things to yourself.
I was the oldest, my brother was the youngest, with the girls in the
middle. Like bookends who have to shore up the middle.”

“Do your parents live in Seattle?” Casper asked.
“No.” That was it. Lando turned back to face him. Again, that

blue-eyed look that scanned Casper from head to foot. And then
his gaze fastened on Casper’s crotch. He sat on the side of the bed.

“Pull off my boots. I want to get comfortable. And then I want

you to strip for me. And then once you’re bare, I want you to bring
me a glass of wine. And when you bring it to me, I want you to
kneel in front of me. Think you can handle that?”

Casper’s pulse quickened. “Y-yes. I can do that.” Just by the

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

list of demands Lando had texted him, Casper had developed a
sense of Lando’s likes, as well as his desire for dominance. Casper
might have called a halt to this dalliance right then and there, but
he hadn’t. In fact, the whole thing had excited him.

“What kind of wine did you get?” Casper asked.
“Exactly what you asked for,” Casper responded. “Liberalia

Cinco. It’s a 2004 vintage. I hope that’s all right. Are you a wine
connoisseur?”

“Not really. But I dated someone for a few months who was

into wines and he introduced me to that particular vintage.”

“Oh.” There were all sorts of questions that Casper wanted to

ask, but he didn’t.

“Do you know where the name comes from? Liberalia?” Lando

asked.

“No. I was too busy trying to find an importer so I could

procure the wine before tonight.”

“All that for one bottle of wine?” Lando asked as he smoothed

a hand over the bedsheet. Casper couldn’t help staring at his hands.
Those long fingers, well-manicured nails. Nice hands.

Casper felt the hot color rise up into his face. “I, ah, bought a

case of it. I thought maybe—”

Lando gave a deep-throated chuckle. “I sense that about you.

You’d go overboard on a thing like that. You want this bad, don’t
you? I wonder why? Why do you want me so bad? There are
plenty of other guys out there who wouldn’t put your job in
jeopardy. How come?”

“H-how did the wine get its name?” Casper asked attempting to

draw attention away from himself. And besides, now he was
curious about the story behind the wine.

“Okay. The wine is produced in Spain. It’s named after the god

LOVE ME TONIGHT

Liber. Do you know him?”

Casper shook his head. Lando stared into his eyes. “Liber is

also known as the god, Bacchus. And do you know of him?”

Casper gulped, his throat went dry. “The god of wine?” He

ventured. He grabbed from thin air for specks of remembered
mythology from his college classes.

Lando grinned widely. “He is the god of ecstasy as well. The

man I dated—he was a connoisseur of that as well. Bacchus also
induces frenzy in his followers.” Lando leaned forward. “Will it
induce frenzy in you tonight?” he said in an intimate deep voice.

Casper felt lightheaded and didn’t think he could stand another

minute of this conversational foreplay that Lando appeared to be
enjoying. Casper wiped at the sweat on his forehead.

“I-I—”
Finally Lando waved a hand in the air. He pointed to the spot in

front of him, between his legs. “Well, let’s get started.” He cupped
his crotch. “This is what you wanted, right? This is why you’re
slumming?”

The term made Casper angry. “That’s not what I’m doing.”
“Isn’t it?”
“You have all the control,” Casper said. “I’m hardly putting

anyone in their place.”

“But you want to keep it a secret, right?” Lando said.
“That runs to both our benefits. Are you willing to lose your

job over one night?”

“No. I guess that puts us at a stalemate. So, I’m still intrigued.

Let’s see what you can do. I wanna find out if taking this chance is
worth it.”

Casper’s heart pounded harder, like he’d just run a marathon.

He was terrified he couldn’t meet Lando’s expectations. Casper

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

wasn’t that experienced and he was afraid of what Lando might do
when he realized that. He moved in front of Lando. He pulled his
leather loafers off and tossed them aside. Then he pulled his shirt
over his head without unbuttoning it and tossed it toward the
orange chair. It missed. So what. He started to unzip his pants.

“No. Stop,” Lando said. “Let me look at you. Turn around

slowly. Don’t move so quickly.”

Casper turned slowly. He had to focus on his breathing; he was

starting to hyperventilate. He slowed it down. Casper recalled the
text message he’d finally gotten up the nerve to send to Lando
more than a month before.

Meet me where nobody knows either of us and I’ll do anything

you want. It will just be between you and me.

It was a bold move and very out of character for Casper, who

had been dubbed the librarian because he was always so quiet and
studious.

Lando’s text response came as a surprise.
Are we talking about fucking?
Lando didn’t mince words, he got right to the point of things

apparently.

They had stood across from each other in the elegant lobby of

the first-class hotel where they were both employed. The message
arrived on Casper’s phone. He had glanced across at Lando. Good-
looking and sexy and Casper couldn’t stand it another day. It was
do or die. He’d never done anything like this before, but he had to
have the man even if it was only for just one night. Just one, and
Casper knew he could die a happy man.

Casper had responded, tapping the three little letters on his

phone and sending them, without hesitation.

Yes.

LOVE ME TONIGHT

His gut churned.
Tied in knots, Casper had watched Lando glance down at his

phone  and  read  the  message.  Casper  had  to  control  himself  from
walking across that reception area, to keep from showing the least
interest or it could have meant both their jobs. He’d made a point
of  schooling  his  expression,  tamping  down  his  excitement.  Even
though the secret nature of their communication did add a  certain
level of excitement to the budding relationship. Lando glanced up
and  stared  across  the  space  between  them.  Casper  just  caught  the
light in his eyes as Lando’s gaze met Casper’s for a brief moment.

Casper stood next to the entrance of the hallway leading to the

business  offices,  at  the  fringes  of  activity  in  the  main  reception
area. A large conference going on at the hotel almost assured that
no  one  would  pay  particular  notice  to  the  byplay  between  Casper
and Lando. They were flirting and one might say almost hiding in
plain  sight.  Lando  stood  near  the  front  desk.  He  glanced  down  at
his  phone  and  texted  a  message  back  to  Casper.  It  came  to
Casper’s phone.

I’ll let you know.
Then Lando had turned and sauntered away. Casper felt like a

tire with a nail shoved through it and deflating fast. Patience. He
had to exert patience.

That first exchange had taken place four weeks ago. From then

till now they’d flirted by phone, texting even as they watched each
other. Like a pair of duelists they sized each other up. It had been
thrilling  the  way  they  parried  back  and  forth.  No  words  spoken,
just  glances  and  texting.  It  was  actually  kind  of  titillating.  All
Casper  could  think  about  for  weeks  was  Lando.  Seeing  him  each
day, and eventually—hopefully—the chance to be with him. He’d
never flirted like that via the phone.

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

Lando would send him a message in the morning.
Hard or soft?
Just that, nothing else.
Casper usually was able to respond hard. Inevitably hard when

he thought about Lando.

Casper had almost choked the day he was in a manager’s

meeting and he received a text from Lando.

Suck or fuck?
Casper had glanced around the boardroom almost frantically to

see if anyone had noticed. He almost had wanted to laugh. His
mind certainly wasn’t on the forecasted projections for the coming
fiscal year that they were discussing.

Lando’s flirtatious teasing and explicit texts went on like that,

several a day, keeping Casper hard and eager. Lando seemed to be
enjoying  the  phone  byplay.  And  yet,  Lando  remained  coy  about
one thing—setting a date when they would meet in person. Casper
wasn’t  certain  he  could  last  much  longer.  But  there  was  also  the
question in his mind—was Lando just playing Casper along or did
he  really  consider  meeting  him  for  a  hot  night?  That  was  the
question that served to keep Casper so on edge day after day.

It was late at night three days ago that had been the final

deciding factor. One of the perks for management level employees
was  the  ability  to  use  the  exercise  facilities,  including  the  heated
indoor  Olympic-sized  pool.  Casper  tried  to  make  use  of  the
facilities  at  least  several  times  a  week.  He’d  been  on  the  swim
team  in  college  and  tried  to  stay  in  shape.  His  job  made  that
difficult  to  do  sometimes.  But  that  night  he  had  the  pool  all  to
himself. His frustration level was increasing in direct proportion to
the  number  of  texts  Lando  sent  him  in  a  given  day,  and  it  felt
particularly important on that night because he had way too much

LOVE ME TONIGHT

energy coiling inside him and he needed to expend or explode. He
put it down to Lando’s latest text message.

Top or bottom.
Casper lapped the damned pool until he was exhausted. He lost

count  of  how  many  times  he’d  gone  back  and  forth  in  broad
powerful  breaststrokes  that  carried  him  across  the  pool  quickly.
Finally, he pulled himself up and out of the water, thinking maybe
he  would  actually  sleep  rather  than  toss  and  turn  thinking  about
Lando.  He  was  in  the  shower  room,  having  just  finished  his
shower,  when  Lando  unexpectedly  walked  in.  Casper’s  heart
missed a beat.

“So you want me to do the dirty with you. How do you know I

like your type?”

Casper had pulled the white towel around his hips tighter. This

was not how he’d expected their first conversation to go.

“We shouldn’t be in here together like this,” Casper had

sputtered. “Someone might see us.”

“I know the rhythm of this place backward and forward and

you should, too. We’ve both been here long enough.”

“Yes, but—”
“Drop the towel,” Lando had said, cutting him off. “Let’s see

now well you follow orders.”

For a moment Casper had stared at him, shocked by the

command. Was this a test? If so, Casper was determined to pass it
with flying colors. Without breaking contact with Lando’s gaze, he
reached down, unhooked the towel and let it drop. Moist heat from
the showers curled around him, making him dizzy. At least he
thought it was the heat from the room, but it could just as well
have been the look in Lando’s eyes—so focused on Casper’s face.

Suddenly, Lando had unzipped his pants and pulled out his

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

cock. He stroked it. He had continued to stare at Casper. “This boy
what you want? Do you dream about me sticking it in you? What if
I asked you to get on your knees right here, right now, and suck
me?”

Casper had lost his voice. He was certain all the blood rushed

from his face, right down through his body, to flood his cock.
What the hell. There were other jobs, right? Slowly, he nodded.

Lando kept stroking his cock. “I don’t get fucked. I do the

fucking. You okay with that?”

“W-whatever way you want. I promise.” Casper wanted to

reach down and stroke his own hard cock, but he didn’t.

“So, you want to be my pretty boy for one night?”
“Yes.” There was no hesitation with Casper’s response. Not the

least little bit. He wanted Lando way too badly to prevaricate or
play coy with his answer.

“You trust me that way. You’d do anything I wanted. You trust

I wouldn’t bang you up bad? You trust I won’t say anything about
fucking management?”

Casper couldn’t take his eyes off Lando’s hand, his cock, how

big it was. The man had charisma. And he had a body to die for.
Casper found himself deciding that, for this man, he’d even
sacrifice his job just to have one night with him. Just one night of
his brand of loving.

Lando grinned and kept stroking his cock. Casper swallowed

hard, there was nothing he could do. His full-blown lust for the
man was front and center. “Yes. I’ve seen the way you are with
people. I’ve seen the way you act. I know your work ethics.”

“You know nothing really. Any man can act in public. A real

man can make people think what he wants them to think about
him.”

LOVE ME TONIGHT

“I trust my instincts about you,” Casper stubbornly asserted.

His instincts about people hadn’t led him too far wrong thus far, he
trusted those instincts this time as well. “And, anyway, it’s just for
one night,” Casper had amended.

Lando nodded. He stopped stroking and stuffed his cock back

into  his  pants  and  zipped  them  up.  The  bulge  remained  obvious.
Casper wondered how, or with whom, Lando planned to take care
of  that  little  problem.  He  had  tried  not  to  think  about  that  too
closely, but it hadn’t been easy. He already felt somewhat invested
in  this  man  who  seemed  to  just  want  to  play  with  Casper’s
emotions.

“Okay then, you make the arrangements.”
Casper almost fell over with shock. Finally. He almost cried.

He had tried to keep such a tight rein on his emotions through
these last weeks and now he had the answer he’d been wishing for.
Had he passed Lando’s test? Apparently.

“I’ll text you the name of a place I know and instructions on

what to bring,” Lando said. “You follow my orders, text me when
you’ve got it confirmed and I’ll be there. Make it a Saturday, that’s
usually my day off.” He turned to leave.

“Wait,” Casper said.
Lando had looked back over his shoulder.
“Underwear or not?” Casper asked.
The slow grin Lando gave him, somersaulted Casper’s

stomach. He turned back toward the door. “Guess you’ll have to
wait and see.” And then, without another word, he’d exited the
shower room.

But he’d given Casper a taste of what to expect. And he’d

made Casper want him all the more.

And now, in this motel room, he turned for Lando and then

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

came around to face him again, a better handle on his emotions.
Well, slightly better. But he had a feeling that wasn’t going to last.

“You take orders very well,” Lando said. “I expected you to

balk more. I guess you want me bad, don’t you?”

“Yes, Lando, I do.” Why lie? He was the one who had invited

Lando  here.  He  was  the  one  who’d  said  he’d  do  anything  Lando
wanted.  This  was  not  the  time  to  pretend.  For  one  night  Casper
would  give  his  all.  Casper  had  always  worked  hard  to  do  as  his
father  wanted.  Everything  had  always  been  about  what  his  father
expected.  By  rights  Casper  should  have  had  his  fill  of  taking
orders, and for a  lot of  years he’d been careful about  making  his
own road. But something had been missing in his life. It had taken
him  the  last  two  years  to  figure  out  what  that  something  was.  It
shocked  him  to  think  about  the  fact  that  some  of  what  made  him
happy  brought  him  full  circle.  It  was  one  night  as  he  lay  in  bed
thinking  about  things  that  he  realized  something.  If  he  hated
following orders, why hadn’t he rebelled more against his father?
There  was  more  to  it,  more  about  Casper  that  he’d  not  thought
deeply  about.  Maybe  he’d  just  been  afraid  to  examine  his
motivations too closely.

He and his father had had a falling out when Casper was in his

last  year  of  college.  True,  Casper  had  gone  just  a  big  crazy  with
freedom  back  then.  He’d  told  his  parents  the  truth—that  he  was
gay.  And  they’d  not  taken  it  well.  Friends  had  tried  to  help  him
through  that  bad  time.  He’d  come  to  terms  with  it.  After  he’d
graduated and the air had cleared somewhat, and he kind of found
a place for himself at Hotel Draysden, he began to relax, and was
forced to consider certain things about himself. Lando’s presence
drew  Casper  out.  Lando’s  texting  made  him  think  about  certain
things he’d never quite considered before.

LOVE ME TONIGHT

CHAPTER 3

“Did you clean yourself good, the way I told you?” Lando

asked.

Casper nodded. He felt the blush rise up into his face… again.

Lando gave nothing away with his expression as he studied
Casper.

“Unzip your pants, push them down to your knees. Then turn

around, bend over, and grab on behind your knees.”

Casper took a deep breath and then proceeded to do exactly

what Lando ordered him to do. He stood there, mostly naked, bent
over, exposing himself to Casper. He jumped when Lando put his
bare hands on Casper’s ass cheeks, spreading them to reveal his
anus. When Lando brushed a finger over his exposed hole, Casper
couldn’t help the little flutter that went through him.

LOVE ME TONIGHT

“You’re tight, baby. Too tight for me. We’re gonna have to

work that little brown bud of yours. Did you bring the plug and the
lube like I said?”

“Yes, I did.” It hadn’t been easy walking into that sex shop and

buying the items that Lando had requested. But it had also made
Casper hot as hell to think about Lando using them.

“Where are they?” Lando asked.
Casper nodded toward the other side of the room toward the

credenza.  “Over  there  in  that  black  overnight  bag.”  Casper  had
done one-night stranger sex before, but this was different than any
of those quick-and-dirty hook-ups. Lando had made him search, to
prepare  things,  and  think  about  stuff  regarding  sex  that’s  he’d
never really thought about before. In truth, things he’d shied away
from thinking about too deeply. But Lando forced him to consider
carefully, made him do, made him  want to explore more fully the
things that, before tonight, Lando had only alluded to.

Maybe that was part of Lando’s draw. He challenged Casper

differently than any man Casper had been with thus far. The short
text  messages  had  made  Casper  pause  to  think  about  his  feelings,
why  he  did  or  didn’t  do  certain  things.  Lando  made  him  think
about  what  he  really  wanted  from  intimacy,  and  what  role  he
wanted to play.

“Stay where you are,” Lando instructed. “Don’t move. I’ve got

to get you ready. You get that, right?”

And Lando made Casper converse. He made Casper talk about

his  feelings,  the  things  he  wanted  and  needed.  He’d  periodically
text  him  the  name  of  a  book  that  was  sexually  explicit  and
expected  Casper  to  read  it.  And  those  were  certainly  enlightening
for  Casper,  not  to  say  the  least.  All  along  Lando  had  been
educating Casper on the way Lando liked his sex. And introducing

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

Casper to the varied ways Casper might like it, too. One such
message had Casper practically salivating at the possibilities.

Joys of Anal Sex. Read it? If not, get it. Read it.
Eye opening education.
“I get it,” Casper responded. He remained exactly as Lando

directed.

Other than while shopping for the items on his lunch hour,

Casper hadn’t really allowed himself to think too much about what
came  next  after  he  bought  all  the  items  and  stuffed  them  into  the
new overnight bag, and then shoved the bag under his bed. No, he
hadn’t  thought  much  about  it  until  he’d  started  to  get  this  room
ready. He hadn’t even been certain Lando would show up. Lando
had kept him on edge this whole time. He’d primed Casper very,
very  well.  It  had  seemed  like  a  lot  of  prep  and  foreplay  for  one
night,  but  Casper  had  to  admit  he’d  enjoyed  every  moment.  He
could admit that, now that they were finally here.

Lando had made him consider. Why did he want this so badly?

Why was he here? Was it just about the risk of sleeping with a man
who should be taboo to him? Had Casper’s life become so boring
he  jumped  at  any  chance  to  feel  something  more?  It  seemed  life
was  passing  him  by  and  he  was  always  doing  what  his  father
expected.  But  when  his  father  had  that  heart  attack  three  months
ago, it opened up a whole lot of feelings for Casper. Life was short.
Emotions he didn’t even know existed erupted to the surface. And
maybe that had something to do with taking the chance and texting
Lando.

Lando was someone bright and beautiful, who appeared so self-

confident. Seeing him every day at the hotel was a secret guilty
pleasure that Casper had kept all to himself. Like that whiskey
bottle some men kept in the bottom draw, the porno magazine, or

LOVE ME TONIGHT

just  a  simple  box  of  chocolates.  It  was  a  yearning  Casper  simply
couldn’t  put  off  any  longer.  Lando  was  everything  Casper
shouldn’t  want,  and  yet…everything  Casper  needed.  He  was
danger in the best possible way. And Casper loved that he wasn’t
playing safe any longer.

Lando taught him something else too through their texting. It

wasn’t just the danger aspect about this relationship. Casper loved
the way Lando claimed control. His quiet powerful manner had
seduced Casper as much as anything, because Casper had come to
discover he’d liked this power play game. He liked it very much.

Dominant/submissive, Master/slave.
Casper had learned about those terms, too. Something odd had

fluttered inside him when he’d read those missives. Something, he
finally had recognized, about himself.

After rummaging through the bag, Lando returned with the butt

plug  and  the  lube.  And  slowly  Lando  prepared  Casper’s  ass  to
accept  the  plug.  Casper  was  ready  for  this.  He  wanted  it.  Lando
started  with  a  lot  of  lube,  and  one  finger  pressed  into  Casper’s
anus.  Casper  jumped  when  the  tip  of  Lando’s  finger  penetrated
him. Lando worked him slowly, pushing in, pulling out.

“W-where did you learn how to do this? Ugh,” Casper said as

Lando’s finger went in deeper, exploring Casper’s passage. Casper
wanted to know even more about Lando. Wanted to know
everything.

“Boyfriends,” Lando answered. “Too many of them to count.

Too much dross, not enough value. But a lot of education. Enough
to teach me what I want in my men. Enough to explain to you what
I don’t want.”

Casper didn’t know how to follow that response. Lando’s

fingers jabbed into him, screwing and twisting inside him.

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

“Tight,” Lando remarked. “You are so tight. You feel like a

virgin, baby. Are you a virgin? Is that why you wanted this? No
one’s ever fucked you properly have they?”

Casper didn’t answer. For one thing he was too focused on the

finger sliding in and out of his ass and forcing himself to try and
stay put and not wiggle around. He had the greatest urge to shove
back against that penetration, to deepen it. He was so hungry to
share more with this man.

On the other hand, he didn’t want to give too much away and

scare Lando off. He didn’t want to share how few times he’d
actually been intimate in that way with a man. Sure, there’d been
kissing, sucking, and mutual masturbation a time or two. But not
all that much actual ass fucking.

“Never mind,” Lando said. “We’ll just take it slow.”
Casper almost breathed a sigh of relief. And then Lando

squirted more lube and added a second finger to the first. Now
Casper was really starting to feel the pressure. And he liked it.

“There you go, now you’re loosening up. A little more, then

we’ll let the plug do the rest of the work. There’s plenty more for
us to get busy with.”

Lando seemed to have gone so far inside Casper, stretching

him,  filling  him  up.  So  many  emotions  collided  in  Casper.  There
was  the  stretch  of  pain,  the  excitement  of  Lando’s  attentions,  the
desire  to  have  Lando’s  cock  pumping  inside  him,  not  just  his
fingers.  And  not  the  butt  plug.  But  it  was  the  butt  plug,  that
inanimate manufactured object that next was pushed into him. And
then  Casper  was  surprised  when  Lando  pulled  up  Casper’s
underwear, then his trousers, and helped him to straighten up.

“Feeling a little full, are you?” Lando asked as he zipped up

Casper’s pants and then refastened the button. “Now put your shirt

LOVE ME TONIGHT

and shoes on because we’re going out for a bit.”

“But, I thought… I can’t—”
“Oh, yes you can. And you will. Show me that cute stiff little

walk that tells me you’ve got your ass full. It lets me know your
little hole is limber enough to take my dick in you. I don’t want to
hurt you. And that plug is gonna make sure that doesn’t happen.”

“I can’t go out like this,” Casper protested. “I’ve never—” He

bore down on the plug, feeling its presence inside him.

“I expect we’re gonna do a whole bunch of things you’ve never

done before.”

“But I hadn’t expected we were going to go out.”
“The night will be full of surprises before we’re through. I

think, Casper, you’re about to get an advanced education. Did you
really think it was just jump in that bed, fuck, and we were
finished? You could go back to your nice dull life no different than
before? Baby, I am going to change your life.”

“But…”
“As I said, get your shirt on. We’re going out.”
“I can’t walk with this thing in me,” Casper protested.
“You’ll get used to it and I bet you get used to it being there

real  fast.”  Casper  chuckled.  “You  may  even  come  to  loving  the
feel of it in you. I bet, come next week, I’ll be watching you cross
that  foyer, striding like  you’ve got a nice big log  up  your ass and
I’ll be able to tell by the way you walk, you’re sporting this little
butt plug, stowed deep and wanting my cock there. And I’ll be the
only  one  who  knows  who  gave  you  a  taste  for  that  little  sexy
secret. Just you and me. Now come on, let’s get out of here.”

Just the way Lando was talking about certain sexy possibilities

when they left this place, had Casper so hot, he didn’t think he
could stand it. He liked the thought of sexy little secrets between

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

them when they got back to work. He liked the thought of it way
more than he should.

He particularly liked the thought that maybe this didn’t have to

end with just one night.

Casper slipped on his shoes and grabbed up his shirt, which

took a little effort, the butt plug making him stiff as he carefully
bent over to retrieve it. He clamped down on the plug to keep it
from sliding out. Then he walked around the room blowing out the
candles. Casper waited near the door while Lando put on his boots,
wishing Lando would hurry so they could get this jaunt over with.

“You first,” Lando said as he approached Casper. “I love

watching you move. You get me all hot and bothered, baby.”

“Then maybe we should just stay and finish what you asked me

to do. Strip and bring you wine. Wouldn’t that be more fun?”
Casper asked. He really didn’t think he wanted to go out feeling as
stretched and stuffed as he did. This wasn’t quite what he’d
expected. But then again, he wasn’t really sure what he did expect.

“Nope. I’ve thought of something better. All set? So let’s go.

Don’t worry. You’ll enjoy it.”

Casper wasn’t so sure about that. But he was the one who

wanted this game, and he’d given carte blanche to Lando on how it
was  going  to  be  played.  It  was  only  fair  that  he  follow  through.
With  every  step  the  butt  plug  made  its  presence  felt.  He  tried  to
walk  normally,  but  he  was  certain  that  wasn’t  the  way  he  was
walking.

“That tight little ass of yours is just gorgeous. You keep that

plug in there good and tight. It’s probably going to help build those
ass muscles of yours. Sitting in that chair all day crunching those
numbers, you’re going to end up with a fat ass like Joslin. You
don’t want that, do you? Keep it tight. We don’t want it popping

LOVE ME TONIGHT

CHAPTER 4

Casper could not imagine what was going through Lando’s

mind  as  they  sat  there  in  the  vintage  car  with  the  amazingly
comfortable  red  leather  seats.  Lando  didn’t  move  to  start  the
engine. Casper wiggled in his seat. He could definitely feel the butt
plug  situated  in  his  ass.  But,  oddly,  he  thought  he  was  becoming
accustomed  to  its  presence.  He  was  spread  wide,  but  he  wasn’t
feeling the bite of it quite as much as he was before. In fact, it was
feeling quite erotic the way his channel hugged and  conformed to
the object inside him.

“I’ve been to this town before,” Lando said without preamble.

He stared at the door to the room. “I’ve been to this motel.”

What did Casper say to that? He’d actually thought that might

be the case when Lando gave him the name of the motel, but he

LOVE ME TONIGHT

wasn’t certain he’d wanted it confirmed.

“Same room?”
“No. Different room.” Lando curled his fingers around the big

red steering wheel. “That’s why I wanted you to change it up. I
dated someone from this town. Logistics of getting together got too
difficult. He was a nurse and he had crazy hours.”

“Crazier than yours?” Casper asked. He wondered where this

was all leading. It seemed the dynamics between them were
changing and he wasn’t certain what it was leading to.

“Do you think I don’t have goals?” Lando asked. He still didn’t

look at Casper. He gripped the steering wheel harder.

“I don’t know. I don’t think I’ve thought that far ahead.”

Casper squirmed in his seat. Where was this going?

Finally Lando turned to Casper. “I’m tired of men not wanting

to know more about me than how good I can fuck and how big my
cock is. Whether or not I can satisfy them in bed. They want me,
but they don’t, not really.”

“I-I’m sorry. Then why did you agree to come here with me?”

Casper was starting to feel bad.

“Why’d you text me, Casper? Tell me the truth.”
“Tell me what your goals are first,” Casper said, thinking on

the fly.

“I go to school at night. Did you know that?”
With just that one response things seemed to clear the way for

Casper  to  follow.  “I’ve  always  known  you  were  intelligent,”
Casper responded. And he had known that. It wasn’t simply about
just  Lando’s  looks.  There  were  a  lot  of  good-looking  men  in  the
world. But there was something different, something special about
Lando. Even his texts to Casper were well thought out in addition
to  being  damned  sexy.  And  something  else  Casper  noted—he

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

spelled and put words together beautifully. He took crude and
explicit to new heights of language. Mind fuck came to the
forefront. So Casper had known for a long time that Lando was not
simply just another pretty face.

Casper turned and looked at him in the soft yellow glow of the

night-light. He remained quiet, waiting.

“I’m going to school to learn about computers,” Lando blurted

out. “I’ve always liked the mechanics of things. Technology
excites me almost as much as sex.”

“Why take the job at Draysden’s?”
“A lot of good tippers. I’m careful with money, you know. I

pay for my tuition with cash, not loans. Every penny I earn.”
Lando said it with such pride in his voice. And he should be proud.
So many people took the easy way. “When I’m not working at the
hotel—”

“What?” Casper asked, sensing Lando was about to reveal

some secret he’d never shared with anyone else.

“Never mind.” Lando went quiet.
“I think that’s admirable,” Casper said.
“Yeah, admirable.” Lando laughed bitterly.
A silence stretched for a time between them. And Casper knew

he was going to have to come clean. Right now they were dancing
around each other, flirting with truths.

“We started at Draysden’s on the same day. Do you remember?

We were sitting in the waiting room in HR. You were called in
first.”

“Yeah? I don’t remember that too well. I was excited I got the

job. I’d heard from friends there was some nice money to be made
in tips if you were good. I wanted to get through the paperwork
and get started. I needed the money.”

LOVE ME TONIGHT

“Well…I remember you. From that first moment, I wanted you.

You weren’t flashy like a lot of the guys I know. But you were—
you are—beautiful—naturally beautiful. I don’t mean just looks, it
was  about  the  whole  way  you  carried  yourself.  You  got  my
attention. I guess you could say I’ve been watching you for the last
two  years.  But  I  was  always  afraid  to  ask—to  talk  to  you.  You
always  seemed  so  intent  on  doing  a  good  job.  Your  clothes  were
always  neat  and  well  groomed.  You  always  made  people  smile.
And  I’ve  seen  you  more  times  than  not  in  reception  helping
someone  or  other  when  the  computer  system  froze.”  Casper
glanced over at Lando shyly. “I didn’t think I’d have a chance with
someone  as  together  as  you  are.  Besides,  we  work  for  the  same
company and we’re not supposed to fraternize.”

“What changed your mind then?” Lando asked.
Casper didn’t hesitate to tell the truth—he was far beyond that.

“Seeing you at the gay bar with someone else. I knew I was going
to explode if I didn’t at least try. Why did you agree to come here
tonight?”

“Honestly, I don’t know. I mean I was aware of you around the

place, but I never thought too much about things like that with the
people I worked with. I had too much on my plate as it was. I can’t
say you stood out exactly. You’re a quiet one. I was too busy. But
then  you  texted  me,  I  couldn’t  believe  you  did  that.  I  thought  it
took  some  balls.  Then  I  thought,  you  know,  you  gotta  watch  out
for those quiet ones, they can run kinda deep. And then I started to
watch  you.  They  call  me  Flash  sometimes  because  of  the  way  I
look, the way I dress. This car doesn’t help any, but my uncle left
it  to  me.  I  always  helped  him  work  on  it  and  I  guess  it  was  a
sentimental thing. But it’s bought and paid for and I know it inside
and  out.  That’s  the  only  hobby  I  have—working  on  this  baby.

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

Reliable, you know? Maybe, I looked at you and saw, you ain’t
going to like this, but I saw reliable. Maybe in for the long haul.”

“Great, just what I want to be,” Casper said.
“But you are. People rely on you to make the right decisions.

And you’re a straight-up guy. You do it all quiet-like, but you get
the job done. You’re the kind of man people trust. I thought, I
wanna be like him. When I get my schooling done, I wanna be the
kind of guy people respect. And maybe a night with you, it’ll rub
off, you know?”

“That’s funny. Because I thought the same about you.” Casper

couldn’t help smiling. Maybe the two of them were more alike
than he’d thought. “So,” Casper said, “you think there can be more
to this? More than just tonight?”

“I don’t know, but I guess maybe it can start somewhere. It’s

hard enough being Hispanic, but being gay and Hispanic, it’s not
that easy.”

“I know,” Casper said. “But I’ve got to tell you, we may be

doing this backward, because I don’t want to keep this platonic
until we figure things out.”

Lando grinned. He shimmied across the red leather seat and

kissed Casper. And oh, what a beautiful kiss it was. “I like the way
you kiss,” Lando said. “And did I mention I like your ass? You
have a great ass.”

“Thank you,’ Casper said, a little breathless after the kiss. “I

can’t wait to see yours.”

Lando kissed him again. “You will,” he promised, “eventually.

He slid a hand beneath Casper’s shirt and played with Casper’s tits,
then French kissed him, with deep, hungry demands.

“You are an amazing kisser,” Casper said, barely able to catch

his breath. Lando fingered Casper’s tit, rolling it between his

LOVE ME TONIGHT

thumb and first finger. He tugged on it. Casper arched upward. He
felt the plug shift in his ass. “And I like this, making out in your
car. I’ve never made out in a car before.” It didn’t smell old, it
smelled…like Lando. Bits of vanilla and sandalwood, earthy and
fine.

“You haven’t?” Lando seemed surprised. “You know, I’ve

never  made out in this car. I only  use it  when I have to go out of
town.  Otherwise  I  take  the  bus  or  the  train.  I  rent  space  where  I
keep this baby. Secure place, not like where I live. I’ve never made
out  in  it  before.  Not  until  tonight.  I’m  thinking  it’s  not  like  those
new ones—this is a car for having some fun.” He laughed.

“I didn’t come out until college,” Casper blurted out. “That was

hard enough. I don’t visit home much. My parents—they had a
hard time with things—with me.”

Lando cupped Casper’s jaw. “I’m sorry. My parents don’t

know. I’m not really out. Most of the people at work don’t know
I’m gay. Just a few close friends. That’s why I was surprised you
figured it out.”

“I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t happened to visit the bar that

night.”

“Fate maybe,” Lando said. “It was a last ditch effort to save the

relationship with my boyfriend. Going out in public I hoped he’d
see I was willing to change for him. But it was too little too late.
That night he told me he was already seeing someone else. It was a
blow. But then the next afternoon you texted me. Wow.” He kissed
Casper again. He tugged on Casper’s tit again. “You hit me at the
right time. I was hurting and I needed distraction.”

“Is that why you dragged your feet on meeting me right away?
“Maybe. And maybe, I just wanted this to be different. The

texting, maybe it helped to lay some groundwork,” Lando said.

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

“Fate.” Casper considered that for a moment. He sort of liked

the sound of it. “Maybe it was. Who could have known that one
night could make such a difference? If it weren’t for that night at
the bar, I would never have guessed you were into guys.”

“Right now, I seem to be very much into you.” Lando sucked at

Casper’s lower lip, drawing it between his teeth, sucking on it and
then he released it. Lando began to unbutton Casper’s shirt.

“You like this?” Lando asked. “You like making out in my

uncle’s hot red car?” He peeled back Casper’s shirt to expose his
chest. “Very nice.” He then tipped Casper’s head back and began
sucking at his neck, then slowly lowered his head to suck at his
reddened tit. Casper completely forgot there even was a motel
room all ready and waiting for them.

“Shit, you’re killing me,” Casper gasped. His ass cheeks bore

down on the butt plug. Everything Lando did to him just made him
hotter.

Finally Lando pulled back and looked into Casper’s eyes. “This

is what you want, right? You like me playing the man. You like me
telling you what to do.”

“I sensed that would be the only way you might agree to come

here with me, if I let you control things.”

“You’ve done that all right. But you like it this way, too. I can

tell when a man isn’t comfortable with me. But you, you like this.
You’re all hot and hard and panting. This is something you’re
really into.”

“Take me back inside, Lando. I want to see all of you. I like

making out in your car, but I want more.”

Lando grinned, he forced Casper to look at him. “You didn’t

answer me. Tell me the truth and then we’ll go back inside.”

Casper knew he didn’t have a choice. “Yes, I like it. It makes

LOVE ME TONIGHT

me hot. I spend all day telling other people what to do, answering
their questions, untangling problems with billing. It gets a little
exhausting. I didn’t know I would like you like this. I didn’t know
I would like it so much. But with you it seems the totally right
thing to do.”

“With me. How many men have you been with?”
Casper shrugged. More truth. “Not that many. And I don’t

usually let them fuck me. I don’t know why, but I just don’t.”

“Mutual masturbation, a little sucking? Is that why you were at

the club that night to pick some guy up?”

“Yeah. Sometimes I just need to let off some steam, you

know?” Casper didn’t do it often but there were nights he just got
so lonely. When he couldn’t stand it any longer, in desperation
he’d go to the bar.

“Did you pick someone up that night?”
“No. Not after I saw you there. I saw the guy you were with

walk  out  and  leave  you  there.  You  didn’t  look  sad  exactly,  but  I
could  tell  something  was  wrong.  I  should  have  gone  to  you  then,
but  I  still  wasn’t  quite  ready.  I  went  home  that  night  and  all  I
thought about was you. All I could think about was being with you.
I wanted to make you feel better, but I was afraid to approach you
at the bar. It just—it didn’t seem the right time. But by the next day
I  knew  I  just  couldn’t  wait  any  longer.  I  didn’t  want  you  to  be
hurting. I couldn’t stand it anymore. That’s why I texted you. Even
if you said no, I had to try.”

“I wish I’d known. Maybe I could have saved both of us a lot

of  searching  and  heartache.  Let’s  go  inside,”  Lando  said.  “I’m
going to fuck you until you beg me to stop. I’m going to make you
come until  you’ve got no juice left to  give  me. Maybe  I’ll spank
you,  maybe  I’ll  tie  you  to  the  bed.  Maybe  I’ll  kiss  you  and  just

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

keep on kissing you until you can’t take anymore. Has anybody
ever done that to you, baby?”

“No.” Casper almost choked on the words. He was so worked

up already, he didn’t think he was going to last five minutes once
Lando touched him.

“Get your cute little ass out of this car then and let’s go inside.”
“I thought we were going somewhere.”
Lando smiled mysteriously. “We did. Back in time so we could

find out more about each other.”

Casper couldn’t move fast enough. Even with the plug shoved

up in him, he found himself moving quickly toward the chipped
door of the motel room. He stopped at the door. He didn’t have the
key. Lando moved up right behind him. He placed a hand on
Casper’s ass, squeezed his cheeks, and shoved the plug in deeper.
Casper shivered with pleasure.

“Now. Move to the side and I’ll open the door. Keep those ass

cheeks tight and hold the plug in. We’ll see how nice and loosened
up you are once we’re inside. We’ll see just how ready you are to
take me.”

Casper was afraid he was going to come right in his pants. He

didn’t think he could stand much more. And then Casper unlocked
the door and guided Lando inside.

LOVE ME TONIGHT

CHAPTER 5

“Light the candles and then get undressed,” Lando ordered.
Casper quickly moved about the room to do what Lando

ordered and lit all the candles. Then he turned off the light near the
door, which left only flickering candlelight. He came back to stand
in front of Casper, who was lying on the bed watching him.

“The candles are all lit,” Casper said rather unnecessarily.
“I can see that.” Lando unzipped his pants, pulled out his cock

and began stroking it. “Now get undressed and show me if you’re
ready for me.

“That’s what you did in the shower room. Why’d you do that

there? You shocked the hell out of me.”

Lando grinned and his hand rode up and down his prick.

Casper saw the sparkle of pre-come gloss the head. “I made you

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

horny, didn’t I? Did you whack off when you got home? Did you
wait that long?”

Casper discovered he was actually shaking. It seemed Lando

knew Casper much better than Casper knew himself. “Yes. I
waited till I got home. I tried taking another shower, but I couldn’t
get you out of my mind, so I jacked off. That helped for all of two
seconds.”

“Get undressed,” Lando said, his voice having gone deeper.

“Do it slow, I want to enjoy it. Turn on the radio to something slow
and sexy. And then show me what you’ve got.”

The longer Casper was in Lando’s company, the more he found

he  was  enjoying  himself.  He’d  never  been  one  to  make  an
exhibition  of  himself  in  public.  And  Lando,  just  by  being  seen  in
public, was an exhibition, although it seemed he didn’t want to be.
Casper sashayed over to the radio and chose a jazz station and then
went to work. Slowly he circled his hips as he pulled off his shirt.
He  was  starting  to  have  a  hard  time  keeping  the  plug  inside  him.
He wanted to move faster, just strip and get on with it. He was so
ready and he really didn’t want to wait out this whole song to get
into bed with Lando. He slipped off his loafers next.

“Nice, very nice,” Lando said. “I really like the way you shake

those hips. Now, show me some leg.”

And Casper proceeded to do just that. He unhooked his pants

and slowly pulled down the zipper. He turned, he circled, he
carefully bent down and came back up, minus the pants, and then
he turned his back to Lando and wiggled his ass as he kicked away
his boring beige khakis.

Lando moved fast, and was off the bed in a flash. He yanked

Casper up, pulled him close, ass to groin, fitted him to his own
body, then swayed to the music. Slow, undulating music. Lando

LOVE ME TONIGHT

reached around and gripped Casper’s cock, slowly stroking up and
down. Casper moaned. He tilted his head back against Lando’s
shoulder and closed his eyes.

Lando picked up his leg and jabbed his knee against Casper’s

crease, grinding the plug deeper into Casper.

“Are you ready to replace that little toy with something

bigger?” Lando asked.

“Oh, yeah,” Casper said. He was definitely more than ready.
Lando danced them back to the bed. He turned Casper, gave

him  a  deep,  hungry  kiss,  then  he  sat  on  the  bed.  He  cupped
Casper’s  balls.  “You’ve  got  some  big  cojones,  baby.  I  like  that
about  you.  Get  me  ready  for  you.  Undress  me  and  then  suck  me
good. Then wrap it for me.”

Casper pulled off Lando’s boots and then rolled off his socks

and set them to the side. He stood and pulled Lando’s daffodil
sweater over his head and tossed it to the credenza. He couldn’t
help stroking across his broad, chest and playing in the silky black
hair that covered his ripped pecs.

“Mmm. You like that, don’t you, baby?” Casper asked.
“Yeah, I do. Well look further, I think you’ll find something

more you like,” Lando said.

Casper was quite certain he would. He slid his hands down

Lando’s chest, over his washboard tight abs to the closure on his
trousers. He undid them. Lando lifted and then Casper slid them
down to the floor. No underwear. Casper couldn’t help grinning.

The man was beautiful. Even better than Casper had dreamed.

His  thighs  were  thickly  muscled,  his  calves  well  defined,  his  legs
covered  with  the  same  silky  black  hair  as  covered  Lando’s  chest.
But it was what lay at the heart of him, thrusting up between those
legs,  the  huge  cock  rising  from  a  wealth  of  thick  wiry  black  hair

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

that truly drew his attention. That and the low-hanging balls
beneath. Worthy of an artist.

He knelt between Lando’s legs and slowly dipped forward to

suck him into his mouth.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about,” Lando said. Then he

sighed. “Don’t play too sweet and soft. Suck that fucker hard and
deep.”

Casper sucked, moving his head up and down. He fisted the

root of Lando’s cock and used his other hand to fondle his balls.
He licked up one side, down the other. Thick veins popped on
Lando’s cock and Casper could feel them pulse beneath his tongue.

Casper’s ass flexed, squeezing the plug in his ass. He knew he

wasn’t going to be able to keep it inside much longer. He sucked
and licked Lando’s prick, thinking about what that rod was going
to feel like inside him. He worked Lando faster. He tested taking
him deeper. The movies he’d watched make him want to try to
take him deeper. Yeah, they might be just porn, and a lot of razzle-
dazzle, but he wanted to please Casper so much.

He pulled Lando’s cock deeper until his cockhead hit the back

of Casper’s throat. Lando arched and almost lifted up off the bed.

“Fuck, you did that. I can’t believe you did that.”
Casper eased Lando from his mouth. “You didn’t like that?”
“Like it. I fucking loved it. I almost came. Get the condom.

I’ve gotta fuck you right now. Shit.”

Casper found the box of condoms he’d purchased. He pulled

one free and then trotted back to Lando. Carefully, and quickly, he
sheathed him.

“Get the lube,” Lando said.
The tube still sat on the nightstand and Casper retrieved it. He

handed it to Lando.

LOVE ME TONIGHT

“On the bed, on your knees. Ass in the air.”
Casper was shaking with excitement. This is what he’d waited

for.

Slowly, Lando removed the plug and Casper felt every inch of

the plug receding from inside him. And when it was finally
removed, he felt oddly empty. Yet relieved as well. And he wanted
filling now. But he wanted this man’s cock inside him, not some
sex toy.

“Lando,” he cried out. “Fuck me!”
Casper slapped his ass. “Patience, baby. Patience. You’ll get

filled when I think you’re ready.”

Casper wiggled his ass. He shoved back. “I’m ready now. Fuck

me!”

UUL

CHAPTER 6

The next slap was harder than the first. Lando dragged Casper

across his lap, facedown, ass in a particularly convenient position.
And Casper’s prick was locked between Lando’s muscular thighs

“Bad boy,” Lando said as he paddled Casper’s ass. “Bad, bad

boy.”

“No, please,” Casper cried out. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I won’t

do it again.” Jesus, he just wanted Lando to fuck him.

Casper’s ass burned, until finally Lando stopped. “Now you’ll

behave?” Lando asked.

“Yes, sir. I’ll be good.”
Lando smoothed his hand across Casper’s red-hot bottom.

“You’ve got a damned pretty ass, amigo. I like it a lot. Now, back
up on the bed.”

LOVE ME TONIGHT

“You’re going to fuck me now? My ass is sore.”
“So it is. And such a pretty shade of red. It matches my uncle’s

beautiful car. I’m very fond of red.” He gave one more swat. “Up
there, same position as before.”

Casper could say no. He could stop this right here and now. He

could say forget it. But instead of wanting to retreat, he wanted to
find out more about what came next. He loved the comparison to
the red Ford Galaxie. It made him feel…attractive. And he wanted
to be attractive to Lando. Very much so. It seemed, even with the
pain in his ass, he wanted Lando more than ever.

Casper crawled up to the center of the bed and positioned

himself  on  his  hands  and  knees.  The  movement  of  the  cool  air  in
the  room  across  his  reddened  ass  actually  heightened  his
excitement.  The  sensation  seemed  to  have  been  magnified  by  the
spanking.  The  bed  shifted  as  Lando  came  up  behind  him.  Lando
stroked  over  Casper’s  hot  reddened  cheeks.  He  leaned  down,
licked across Casper’s flaming ass, then blew softly across the wet,
hot  flesh.  Casper  sucked  in  a  breath.  He  felt  so  sensitive,  each
stroke  shuddered  through  him.  Lando  tested  his  hole.  Casper  felt
the  digits,  each  one—first  one,  then  two.  He  pulled  out,  and  then
Lando  squirted  the  cold  lube  into  his  channel  and  Casper
shuddered  when  the  gel  made  contact  with  his  hot  ass  and  well-
prepared hole. The amazing sensations ripped right through him. It
was almost too much. And then, when Lando pressed three fingers
into him, he thought he would shatter. He screamed.

And then he shot his load onto the black sheets beneath him,

coming with such force he couldn’t catch his breath.

Casper chuckled. “I guess you like that after all, don’t you,

baby? That spanking made you real hot, didn’t it?”

“Yes,” Casper managed to gasp out. “Oh, fucking yes.”

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

“Well, that’s nice, but we’re not done yet. Maybe next time I’ll

bring the cock ring. Then you won’t come until I let you.”

Lando twisted his fingers inside Casper’s channel. “Feel that?”
“Fuck, yes,” Casper said. He felt it all the way up and down his

body as the ripple of feeling rode though him in wave after wave
like electrical lightning passing through him. Casper’s blood
boiled. How could his cock recover so quickly after Casper having
just come?

Lando pulled his fingers from Casper’s channel. And then

Casper felt what he’d been waiting for—Lando’s cock poised at
his entrance. Yes, finally!

Time stopped, poised and waiting. The head of Lando’s cock

popped past the entrance lodging just inside him. Lando didn’t
shove home fast. He took his time, as he had with everything all
along.

Casper knew better than to move. He’d learned his lesson well.

He  forced  himself  to  stay  still  as  Lando’s  cockhead  settled  just
inside  his  entrance.  Lando  seemed  to  wait  for  Casper’s  ass  to
accustom itself to the new, thicker presence. Then inch-by-inch he
slid  deeper,  then  deeper  still,  like  a  steam  engine  gathering  speed
as  it  raced  along  the  track.  Until,  finally,  Casper  felt  him  rooted
inside,  stretching  him  farther  than  the  plug,  going  a  good  deal
deeper. He  felt the  wiry  hairs around Lando’s cock brush  against
his  sensitive  cheeks.  And  Casper  almost  cried  when  emotions
swamped him.

“You like that?” Lando asked. “You like me inside you? You

ready for me to ride you?”

Casper’s cock began to engorge again. Oh, yes, he liked the

feel of Lando inside him very, very much. “Yes. I like it. Ride,
baby, ride!”

LOVE ME TONIGHT

For a couple of minutes Lando thrust, moving slowly in and

out, rocking into him. Finally he pulled out. He applied more lube
to Casper’s hole. Then Lando lay upon the bed.

“Come here,” he said. “On top of me, facing me. Guide my

cock into you and then you fuck me.”

Casper moved quickly to comply with Lando’s order. He

straddled Lando and positioned his ass over his cock, then slowly
lowered himself onto Lando’s prick.

“All the way,” Lando said. “All the way. I know you can take

me. You just finished swallowing me whole. Now you do it.”

Casper dropped slowly. The angle was different, the sensations

stronger as he carefully took all of Lando inside. This way, at this
angle, he felt Lando’s hard pole all the way to his core. Once the
deed was accomplished, Lando grabbed onto Casper’s hips and
locked him there. He gazed up into Casper’s eyes.

“Is this what you dreamed about?” he asked. “Can you forget

me after this? Will one night satisfy that lust I saw in your eyes
when you texted me?”

Lando’s cock was so hard, so deep inside Casper, he couldn’t

breathe.  Casper  gazed  into  Lando’s  eyes;  he  couldn’t  look  away.
With  Lando  inside  him,  and  so  intimately  connected  to  him,  how
could  he  lie?  One  night  would  never  be  enough.  But  then,  he’d
known that all along.

“No,” he said, almost choking on the word.
“Ride me, ride me hard,” Lando commanded. And Casper did

just that, his thick muscles aching, shuddering. He gripped Lando’s
cock with his ass muscles, stroking up and down, even as he
worked Lando inside him. And then he felt it, or maybe he heard it.
Lando cried out. Lando spasmed inside him. Casper pushed down
until he completely engulfed Lando’s prick. And as Lando

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

climaxed, Casper used his hand to bring himself off, spilling his
seed onto Lando’s rock-hard stomach.

He’d ridden hard, and it took Casper a while to catch his

breath, sweat dripped down his body. He felt Lando deflate inside
him, and slowly Casper released him and dropped next to Lando
on the bed.

Lando eventually rose and went into the bathroom to clean up.

He brought another white washcloth back and cleaned up Casper.
He poured some of the wine into the two glasses that Casper had
provided. Casper sat up against the pillows and Lando handed one
of the glasses to him. He got onto the bed facing Casper.

“Was it what you expected it?” he asked.
Casper looked into his eyes and smiled. “More,” he said. He

drank some of the wine and Lando did the same.

“It’s good,” Casper said. Then he drained the glass and set it

aside. He leaned closer to Lando. “I love you, Lando.”

Lando tossed the empty glass aside. It rolled off the bed and

onto the floor. He took Casper into his arms, then dropped back
against the pillows.

Lando stroked Casper’s hair, again, and again and again.

Casper enjoyed listening to Lando’s heartbeat beneath his ear. It
comforted him. He couldn’t remember ever feeling this good after
sex.

“I think I’m in love with you, too,” Lando said softly.
And Casper couldn’t help smiling, albeit a bit tiredly. With

luck, this was only the beginning.

LOVE ME TONIGHT

CHAPTER 7

The gold doors to the elevator, emblazoned with the Hotel

Draysden logo, slid open, and for just one moment, Casper’s gaze
connected with the attractive bellhop’s sexy look. He stood in front
of  the  elevators,  a  hand  steadying  the  loaded  luggage  cart  poised
next to him. Casper pulled himself free of the gaze and stepped out
of the elevator, making way for the loaded cart. The bellhop rolled
the  cart  inside.  Casper  glanced  over  his  shoulder.  He  caught
Lando’s  wink  just  before  the  polished  mirror  doors  silently  slid
shut.

Casper smiled. His ass cheeks bore down on the plug in his ass.

It was a Friday, six months after that first encounter at the
Hideaway Hills Motel. It was a far different place than this
exclusive hotel where they both worked. But soon things would be

UUL

LOVE ME TONIGHT

changing.

Casper made his way through the lobby and down the corridor

to  his  office.  Casper  had  just  been  promoted  to  manager  of  client
services,  transferring  from  his  position  as  assistant  manager  of
client billing, and he took his job very seriously. He didn’t get a lot
of  time  off,  but  this  weekend  did  happen  to  be  all  his.  The  plug
he’d  worn  all  afternoon  would  have  him  ready  for  Lando  when
they  met  up  at  the  usual  place.  Casper  had  his  bag  packed  and
ready  and  stowed  in  the  trunk  of  his  car.  These  secretive
encounters  wouldn’t  have  to  go  on  for  too  much  longer.  In  three
months  Lando  would graduate  and then  he’d  find the  job he  was
really suited for.

The winter holiday season was in full force at the hotel. It

wasn’t  easy  getting  some  time  away  this  time  of  year.  Casper
stepped into his office. He walked over the window. He saw Lando
assisting another guest  with their bags at the  main entrance to the
hotel. God, he  was  gorgeous. Snow  mixed  with rain darkened the
sky. Lando looked so tall, and he was so strong, lifting those heavy
bags like they weighed nothing at all.

One night at the Hideaways Hills Motel really had only been

the  beginning.  Every  time  they  met  it  just  got  better.  Wrapped  in
each other’s arms, they shared their dreams, they talked about love.
They even talked about commitment. And then they made love all
night long. Casper had managed to locate a discreet hotel that was
a bit closer to Seattle. The getaways had a way of heightening their
passion.  When  they  saw  each  other  every  day  at  the  hotel  where
they  worked  it  was  exciting  to  know  they  shared  something  so
special.  Phone  calls  and  texting  got  them  through  the  days  and
hours until they could be together. Casper had never realized how
hot texting could be. Or the midnight phone calls. Perhaps  not the

LOVE ME TONIGHT

usual progression of a relationship, but for now, the right way for
them. But soon, everything would change.

This was Friday and tonight, after much finagling of schedules,

it would be loving all night. Lando had said he was finally going to
bring  a  surprise.  The  cock  ring  he’d  only  alluded  to  in  the  past.
Lando  sighed  happily.  He  bore  down  on  the  plug  and  then
shuddered  with  pleasure  at  the  thought  of  the  night  ahead.  It  was
nice  having  his  own  bathroom  attached  to  his  office.  It  made  his
preparations that much easier.

Casper had never realized love could be so wonderfully

exciting. But then he’d never known a man like Lando Madrid.
Sometimes it paid to take crazy chances on the impossible. And
sometimes it just took believing that love always found a way even
under the most unusual circumstances.

Don’t miss Knave Of Hearts

by Adrianna Dane,

available at AmberAllure.com!

Nathaniel Diamond, head of a corporate restructuring consultancy
firm, is as hard as his last name suggests when it comes to sealing
the deal. In his personal life, broken hearts are nothing more than
collateral damage, and business is  his sole priority. Until, that is,
he meets his new client’s right-hand man, Elijah Gentry.

Elijah  returned  home  to  Seattle  out  of  love  and  respect  for  his
guardian,  Charles  Ballard,  head  of  Ballard  Holdings  Worldwide,
who is dying. Charles hired Nathaniel to help secure his financial
legacy,  and  Elijah  is  expected  to  aid  him.  Although  Elijah  has  a
grasp of the business, his true passion lies in Los Angeles with his
sound  editing  career,  not  with  Ballard  Holdings.  Eventually,  he
plans  to  return  to  L.A.,  away  from  the  world  of  high  finance  and
dog-eat-dog corporate politics.

When  Elijah  and  Nathaniel  first  meet,  they  are  strangers.  Well,
almost. Nathaniel knows Elijah’s type, and he plans to use the man
to  get  intimate  and  necessary  information  Elijah  might  not  share
otherwise  in  order  to  do  his  job.  But  Elijah  is  not  quite  the  easy
target Nathaniel expects, and soon the games begin.

Sex and power quickly tangle in this high-stakes game of corporate
politics. Will either man emerge heart-whole from their encounter?
Or  does  destiny  have  another  set  of  plans  for  these  two  very
different men?
