Alec sighed, then hiccupped. Somehow I didn’t think he was much of a drinker, and his worried expression remained. “I thought I loved Christmas too. This time last year, I was interning at a design firm in Soho. There were so many parties, so much excitement. I’d hoped they would consider one of my designs for their summer portfolio—that they’d offer me a permanent position. I’d be well on my way to a career in fashion!”

“What happened?”

He snorted sadly, fists curled against my bare belly: my glitter T-shirt had ridden up over my abs the minute I sat down. “Too many parties, it seems. They went broke. So, that’s why I’m here, in this sorry little unit, chatting to anonymous people on the internet. Trying to start again.”

I’d guessed it right. “You’re living here, too, aren’t you?”

He winced. “My aunt rented it from the charity shop to run her alterations business. She does a lot of theatrical events. But then she got called away on tour, so she said I could use it as my recording studio. That was before I lost my apartment-share. Then I didn’t have any other choice but to sleep here as well.” He rushed on, frowning, looking so adorably defensive, “And why not?”

“No reason, cutie,” I said softly, and kissed his temple. “You can’t go home to your parents?”

“They’re dead. I mean, it’s okay,” he said quickly as I gasped in sympathy. “I was only a child, I barely remember them. Luckily I had Auntie to bring me up. But when I moved to London, she sold her place and lives in hotels when she’s back in town. I was lucky she’d just taken out a short term let on this place.”

Lucky? I glanced around the cold, bleak little room. Right.

Alec rushed on, “The rent is a pittance, and my savings will cover it until the new year.” The harsh light in the unit caught a glimmer of damp in his eyes. “I just have to keep the bills under control. But I’ll get another job soon. And an apartment of my own. And… and everything will be fine.” He hiccupped again.

“I know it will,” I said. “You deserve the best. You’ll be the best. Come here.”

We kissed a lot more, me with compassion and care for this lovely, sweet man, and Alec with some kind of sad, wild desperation. When he slid his hand under my sarong and into my boxers, I let the fabric slip away so he could curl his firm but gentle fingers around my erection. And, greatly daring, I nudged his clingy shorts down over his hips until I released his in return.

“Oh. Gray,” he whispered, eyes closing, head going back with pleasure as I started to stroke.

It was never going to last long, sadly. We were both pretty excited: must have been all that energetic Strictly Come Dancing business. But it was a very thrilling and gorgeous few minutes before his grip grew tighter and his breath more shallow.
