Page 26 of The Bathhouse
“It was the night I stayed in your hotel room.We had just made love.Then you told me to leave before morning.I felt ashamed.I told myself that if you humiliated me again, I would use the pictures to get what I wanted.”
“Money?A job?”
“That’s what I thought at the time, but as my feelings for you grew, I knew I could never go through with it.”
“It was stupid.You got the job anyway, on your own merit.You earned it.”
Joseph started crying openly, his face twisted with anguish.“I ruined everything.”
“It’s all over now and we don’t have to worry about the photos anymore.The police took the prints and Torres’ phone for evidence.When they get around to it, he’ll be tried for extortion, assault, and embezzling.They’ll put him away for a long time.”
“What happens now?”Joseph asked.
Reed set his glass on the floor and stood.“Now, I’ll wash your back.”

Reed undressed and slid into the water behind Joseph.He stretched his legs around Joseph’s.
“Owww,” Joseph wailed.
Reed froze.“Did I hurt you?Should I get out?”
“No, no.It’s just the leg.Still a bit sore, but it will pass.”
Joseph settled back against Reed’s chest.He felt Reed’s thighs tighten around his hips and Reed’s hard cock pressing into his ass.“This is bliss,” he moaned.
“I never expected today to end up like this,” Reed added softly.
“Are you sorry?”
“That remains to be seen.”
“You don’t trust me, but I understand.”Joseph sighed heavily.“How can I prove myself to you?”
“That may take some time.”
“Does that mean you’ll give me another chance?”
“We’ll talk about it,” Reed said gruffly.“Let’s wash you up, now.”He reached for the soap.
Joseph leaned forward and Reed lathered his back.He rubbed Joseph’s shoulders, giving him a good massage.Joseph moaned and relaxed into his touch.He’d never shared a bath with anyone before.Showers, yes.A bath, no.This was so intimate, nothing like going to the bathhouse.Reed seemed to be enjoying it, too so Joseph asked for something more.“Would you wash my hair, Pogi?”
Reed sniffed.“God knows, it needs it.”He hesitated for a moment.“I’ve never done this before.”
“That’s okay, I like being the first.”
Reed started to pour shampoo on his head.Obviously, he didn’t know what he was doing.
Joseph laughed.“First step.Wet my head more.”
“Maybe, you should do --”
“Please.”
“Oh, all right.”
Reed used way more shampoo than needed, but it felt so good, Joseph wouldn’t protest for fear he might stop.The feel of Reed’s hands working his magic gave him so much pleasure.He closed his eyes and drifted off.
