Ben/Emmett (while Michael and Hunter on the run or otherwise)

[mysid.livejournal.com]

I think this story is set while Michael is on the run with Hunter in Brian's Corvette. Anyway, Michael's away long enough that Ben gets to feeling lonely. (He's dealing with the legal woes while Michael's on his grand roadtrip adventure.) Emmett shows up one night--just as a friend--but they each realize an attraction to the other. They resist temptation--barely.

Fast forward a bit until Ben and Michael break up. Emmett feels guilty that he'd hoped that would happen. In the end, Ben and Emmett do get together.

Update: It's Three Strikes by Shannon Marie. Many thanks to cowboystracker for the quick ID.

Next question: Any other Ben/Emmett stories you'd like to recommend?
