When TJ, a famous country star, finds out he has cancer, he retreats to his hometown to heal away from the paparazzi. Uncomfortable living with his parents, he gets a job as a beer truck driver.
Harvey is the owner of a local bar. He’s been following TJ’s career because the two of them used to be lovers. But TJ insisted on being in the closet. Now that Harvey’s older, he can’t imagine burying himself like that ever again.
But when TJ walks into his bar, both men are shocked by the attraction that still blossoms between them. But neither will budge in their beliefs. How can they possibly find happiness in each other’s arms?

Maybe he should stop now, while there was still a chance of… What? Escape? Denial? Both were beyond him.
Harvey nudged him back.
TJ refused to be moved.
Harvey shoved him, his hands gripping TJ’s hips and holding him away.
It was the end of their sweet, hot kiss. TJ looked for the fury in Harvey’s eyes. But all he saw was lust.
“Turn around.”
He obeyed Harvey’s command without checking to see if this was a good idea or not. Then he gasped as Harvey unzipped and unbuttoned his fly. Harvey pantsed him, leaving his boxers covering his erection but his jeans down around his ankles.
He heard the whisper of Harvey’s belt leaving the loops and wondered if, despite never having laid a hand on him in rage, Harvey was going to spank him with the belt. TJ tightened his ass, afraid but also willing to give Harvey this outlet. He wasn’t sure if he was going to be hit because of the way he’d left, the years between, or that demanding kiss. He vowed not to make a sound.
Harvey drew him back until he was against Harvey’s front. TJ could feel the familiar press of the other’s cock against his ass, even through the cloth of his boxers and the denim of Harvey’s jeans.
“Turn with me.” And Harvey maneuvered the two of them until TJ faced the wall. His voice was still tight, but there was something… not angry… in his tone. “Put your hands up and feel the hook.”
Oh. Oh, fuck. He was going to lightly bind TJ’s hands with the belt. This they had done before. TJ had always enjoyed a little gentle tying. He grasped the hook and Harvey wrapped the belt loosely around his hands.
Harvey kissed the back of his neck. “I…” He froze again. And this time, he didn’t stir for almost thirty seconds. “Damn,” he muttered, sounding thoroughly frustrated. And he left the room, abandoning TJ to stand there, pantsed and hard.
