In the other version (without giving away too much) something did happen and Greg is more the one playing push/pull This was taken from that same version and edited; so the raw emotions are still in play.
Chapter Six
“Hey, how’d it go?” Greg asked as he approached Josh at the picnic table by the lake. Greg noticed his friend looked horrible, like he hadn't slept in the last couple days. He was sure the talk with his wife probably hadn't gone well.
“Kim and I are divorcing. I don’t want to hurt her anymore than I already have,” Josh blurted out.
“What?” Greg gasped.
Josh looked resigned. Even though he looked tired, he also appeared lighter as if a heavy weight had be
Hugs to you! I hope the memories for you are not all terrible and that I'm not resurrecting awful moments. As for the story: Josh and Greg will find a way
Chapter Five
Three weeks passed; the Halloween party was in full swing. The host and hostess, Josh and Kim, were dressed as bikers. Greg’s eldest brother, Adam, and his husband Mike came as an Indian and a cop. Greg and Amber arrived dressed as a cowboy and cowgirl. Greg’s older brother Paul and his wife Michelle were Antony and Cleopatra.
Josh greeted every guest himself. He saw Greg and hugged him quickly. The cowboy pulled away a little.
“You look great!”
“Thank
Chapter Four
Greg and Josh returned to work the following day. Josh showed up at the hospital, scheduled to assist with a surgery. Once his patient was in recovery and doing well, he ran into Greg in the hallway.
Josh finished buttoning his suit coat. “Hey. How are you today?”
”Doing just fine. Helping out Dr.Larson today?
“Yeah, good experience. Man has hands of a magician! Hey, do you have a minute?”
“Absolutely. Let’s go to the lounge.”
They walked inside and ea
Hello! Thank you for your kind words! Love and especially lust blind us bigtime. I'll answer your questions below:
1. Good point! I think the editor missed that too; best story is the weather forced it or he no longer lived in Kansas, just visiting.
2. He tracked Mason down.
3. Elliott has the issue, not Mason.
4. why is that odd? (sorry, I don't understand)
5. No, he did not, unless oral is the qualifier. Paolo was Alex's first anal.

Chapter Three
Josh returned home and hugged his wife hello.
Kim whacked his arm. “You feeling better, mister?”
“A little bit, still tired and my stomach is messed up.”
She caressed his hairy arm. “Want some more tea? The house is quiet for a little while longer while the kids are at school. I could serve it to you.” She kissed his earlobe and he shut his eyes. . He had an odd vision of Greg being the one kissing him. He pushed the thought out of his head.
“I need
Chapter Two
The friends went out to their favorite watering hole and between them they ordered eleven shots. Greg had one more than Josh did, but neither was in any condition to drive home at 1:30 am, when the bar closed.
“I got keys…somewhere,” Greg slurred.
“You ain’t driving outta here, Mac. Neither is your friend,” the bartender insisted as he called a cab for the drunken duo.
Fifteen minutes later, the cab pulled up to Josh and Kim’s house. Josh took Greg’
Chapter One
Greg returned to the front desk and checked in on a special patient of his. He slammed down her chart and shook his head.
“Dammit! I was hoping that’d work on her.”
The duty nurse shook her head. “I’m sorry, Dr. Marshall. She’s in exam room four waiting for you.”
Greg ran his hand over his beard and took a deep breath. “Wish me luck, huh, Hannah...this is never the kind of news I like to deliver.”
“Luck,” she whispered.
After a half-hour, a noticeably so
Prologue:
June, 1999
Dr. Josh Adams and his best friend of ten years, Dr. Greg Marshall, walked side-by-side down the long corridor. Their steps were synced as much as their heights and appearance. Both men were six-foot-three, and sported dark brown hair and full beards. Even their eyes were the same dark espresso brown.
The scent of fresh paint and new carpet radiated from every direction. The new Doctors’ building was nearly complete; only a few finishing details remain
