week.
     
Jonathan didn’t have any regrets about anything he’d done back then. But that had
     
been college, and things were different now. So he gently kissed Joel on the cheek and said, “You know I haven’t done anything like that in ages. I think I’m going back to the
     
city now.”
     
Joel slipped his hand down the back of his pants and grabbed his ass. He said, “I
     
know you better than anyone else. I know you want to do this. I know how much you like
     
dick. I’ll bet it’s been a long time since you’ve had an opportunity like this. Just put your
     
hand between my legs. I’m as hard as a rock, and it’s all because of you.”
     
Jonathan couldn’t resist his last sentence. He spread his legs wider and arched his
     
back so Joel could play with his ass. Joel knew far too well how to make his knees weak;
     
he had always been able to seduce him with a unique brand of dirty talk most men
     
couldn’t master.
     
Part of him did want to do this. The thought of taking on all those guys at once
     
made his pulse race and brought him back to the carefree, irresponsible days of college.
     
The fact that Joel would be there to take care of him made him feel safe. It wouldn’t have
     
been difficult for him to strip naked, tiptoe back into the conservatory, lie down on the
     
big, round card table and take them all on at the same time.
     
But another part of him pulled back. So he slipped out from under Joel’s arms and
     
headed to the front door. Then he picked up his overnight bag and said, “I’m not in
     
college anymore, Joel. I’ll give you a call when I get back from San Francisco.”
     
Joel shook his head and smiled. “Are you mad at me?”
     
Jonathan smiled. “Of course not. I love you. You’re just a big jerk sometimes who
     
needs to grow up.”
     
Joel adjusted his crotch and crossed to the front door. Then he hugged him hard
     
and said, “Drive safe, man. You know I love you, too.” He nodded. “I know that.”
     
On the way home, Jonathan couldn’t help feeling sorry for the poor bastard who
     
had rented his house in East Hampton to Joel. He wouldn’t have done that.
     
Chapter Four
     
In order to make things easier for Noah and Tucker, Ed rented a small guest house
     
in Golden Gate Heights near Grand View Park. Lisa agreed to come out and live there
     
while the house was under construction and the film crew was shooting. She was a
     
marketing director for a large clothing company. When she wasn’t traveling to sales
     
meetings, she worked from home.
     
But it hadn’t been easy explaining this to Noah, who couldn’t talk about anything
     
but the TV show and Jonathan Haynes. He’d been marking off the days on the calendar
     
in the kitchen ever since Ed had agreed to do the show. They had the same conversation
     
at dinner every night. “Why can’t I stay here?” Noah would ask.
     
“Because you have school and you have to study.”
     
“But I can study here.”
     
“There will be too many disruptions, the whole place will be a mess, and there
     
won’t be a kitchen for a long time.”
     
“Where will you be staying?”
     
“Most of the time I’ll be here.”
     
“Here?” said Noah.
     
“I’m doing some of the work myself to save money and speed things up.”
     
“Jake left us millions of dollars and you don’t have to save money.”
     
“I know that, but I want to do something with my hands for a change.”
     
This would cause Noah to frown and purposely drop a morsel of food on the floor
     
for Tucker, and Ed would pretend he didn’t see this and focus on his own plate. In the past, Ed’s deceased partner, Jake, would have moved into the guest house
     
with Noah and Tucker and he would have turned it into a mysterious adventure. Jake had
     
been the lighter, more nurturing of the two. He would have packed his expensive luggage,
     
put on his darkest sunglasses, and said, “We’ll move very slowly
