Paul's POV
Paul poured himself a drink and sat down on the end of the bed. He couldn't describe the way that he had felt when Sonny had said that he was leaving town. That was the last thing that he had thought would happen. He had imagined the scenario a million ways since he had found out the he had accidentally slept with Sonny's husband. What a horrible cruel twist of fate. Truth be known he liked Will… A lot … He and Will had a good time together and Lord knows they had chemistry between the two of them. But he had loved Sonny… Sonny would have been the one that he would have given everything up for… If there was such a thing as following his heart, then he would have left it all behind and married Sonny when he asked. He gulped the drink down and sat the cup down on the desk. There was a loud angry banging on the door. He looked at the door… and the banging continued… "Keep your pants on, I'm comin." He shouted. He went over and pulled the door open. "What do you want?" he asked his unexpected guest.
Will's POV
He felt as if cold water had been dashed in his face. It was the last thing that he could have imagined Sonny saying to him. He had pictured him yelling, calling him names, telling him how awful he was. Not the calm collected way that Sonny said. "I'm not coming home… I am going to stay with my brother in Arizona." He had been so matter of fact and blasé about it. It was as if he had already given up, already written their marriage off as a failure. That was what scared Will the most…. Well that and the way that Paul had looked when he had asked Sonny, if he really married Will because Paul said no… He knew what answer Paul had been expecting. And to be honest Will half thought that Sonny was going to confirm that as truth. Paul was hopeful, and no matter how many times Paul had been the good guy and told Sonny that Will loved him…. They had only slept together once…. Paul had even taken the blame telling Sonny that he pursued Will… which was mostly true, but Paul took all of the blame…. No matter how much he had tried to help Will he was harboring feelings of hope that he and Sonny weren't completely over. Will needed to set him straight. If Paul thought that he was going to just move to the side and let him have Sonny… he was a fool. Will made up his mind that he was going to tell Paul that he did not have a chance.
Sonny's POV
Telling Will that he was leaving and walking out of that room was the hardest thing that he had ever done in his life. He wanted to cry and scream to rage at Will for ruining their perfect marriage… Okay well maybe it wasn't perfect…. It was far from perfect they had their problems just like every other couple that he knew. But it has been sacred… until Will had thrown that away.. He had loved Will and Will had thrown it away… With Paul of all people. Paul…. The only other man that he had ever loved enough to want to marry him. Paul who was his past… now had a past with his husband, the man that was supposed to be his future. How messed up was this whole situation. Sonny had seen Paul's face when he told him that Will wanted to know if the only reason he married him was because Paul said no… there was no denying that Paul looked hopeful. Sonny knew that it was wrong to leave… He shouldn't just leave without telling Paul how he felt… urging him to move on. Sonny had wondered a time or two if he had fallen for Will because he was so different from Paul and married him because he wasn't afraid to be together in public… but to be honest he was completely in love with Will… that wasn't going to change… he knew that now. And it was time that Paul knew it too… then he had to try and figure out what he was going to do about Will. He grabbed his phone and called a cab to come and get him. He may as well get this over with.
Will's POV
Will beat on the door of Paul's hotel room until the door opened…. When Paul opened the door, he breezed past him. "We need to talk…. NOW" he said. "Hi to you too Will." Paul said shaking his head. "I'm sorry but I really don't see what we have to talk about." Will turned around and looked at him incredulously. "Really?" he said "Because I saw your face when you asked Sonny that question Paul… I was standing there in the door and I saw the hope in your eyes when you asked him if he married ME because YOU said no." Will accused, trying very hard to keep the emotion from his voice. But the mere thought of Sonny leaving him for good was more than he could stand. "And Well I am here to tell you that even if that were true… it doesn't matter, I am not letting him go." Will stopped and looked at Paul who had raised both of his hands in surrender.
Paul's POV
Will brushed past him and stormed into his hotel room muttering something about them needing to talk. Maybe he was confused but he was lost about what in the world they would have to talk about… he decided to just ask, obviously Will had something on his mind. "I'm sorry but I don't see what we have to talk about." He said, hopefully prompting Will to tell him what he really wanted. Yep, that did the trick.. Will looked at him like he was crazy… then launched into what had brought him here. Will started talking about his conversation with Sonny… He had not realized that Will had been standing there the whole time he had asking Sonny about their past. Hurting Will was not in his agenda. He liked Will… He could have possibly had something with Will… if karma hadn't stepped in and decided to be a bitch like always… At any rate, that was in the past and there was nothing that he could do about it now. The point was that he had not wanted to hurt Will and certainly not Sonny… but both of them had been hurt, and him right along with them. Will was getting himself worked up. He could hear that his voice was about to crack, "Even if that were true…. It doesn't matter…" Will said, his voice was wavering.."I am not letting him go." Paul raised his hands, cutting Will off… "Will… man… I was not trying to take Sonny from you." He said, "I just needed the truth." Will looked at him and his eyes filled with tears. "He and Arianna are all I have." Will whispered.
Paul squeezed his eyes shut…. Damn it… this was a bad idea… a train wreck waiting to happen, but he could not stop himself. He walked over to Will and pulled the other man into his arms. He cradled Will against his chest. "Shh it's okay." He comforted him., holding him close. Will sniffled a couple of times and then pulled away from Paul. Paul loosened his grip but did not release him. Will looked up at him. His tormented blue eyes were swimming in a sea of tears, when they met Paul's lonely green eyes.
Will's POV
Paul's eyes were so lonely, and for the first time since he had found out that Sonny was the person that Paul had talked about during the interview, Will considered his feelings. Paul must be hurting as well. After all Paul loved Sonny at one point and Will suspected that he still did. The look in Paul's eyes changed from sad and lonely to confused, his tongue peaked out of his mouth moistening his lips… Time slowed down, suddenly everything was in slow motion. Will saw Paul when he dipped his head, he knew he should stop him… but he just didn't.
Paul's POV
He questioned his own sanity, even as his lips covered Wills. He brushed his tongue over Will's bottom lip, and groaned when Will opened for him. This was wrong… on every level… but Sonny had left them both, so what was left for them to lose? What started off slow and hesitant turned fast and deliberate. Paul backed Will up to the bed and wrenched his mouth from Will's. They were both breathing heavily. He ripped Will's shirt over his head and pushed him back on the bed. Will fell backwards, pushing himself with his feet until he was completely on the bed. Paul watched him briefly before he pulled his own shirt off, tossing it to the side. He climbed on the bed and crawled over Will. "Will…. If this isn't what you want….say it now…" he said. Will's only answer was to cup the back of Paul's neck and pull him down for another kiss.
Will's POV
Will kissed him fiercely, and they wrestled until Will was on top. He straddled Paul at the waist and began a feverish exploration of Paul's neck and chest. This wasn't about love and a relationship, this was about pleasure and gratification… or so he told himself. He kissed his way down his chest until his mouth was at the button closure of his slacks. He looked up at Paul and smiled before pulling the button from the closure and reaching for the Zipper. "Yess.." Paul said "Hurry." Will scrambled off of his legs and pulled the zipper down. He curled his fingers into the waist band, and….. the mood was shattered with another knock on the door.
Paul's POV
"What now?" he groaned. "Just a minute.." he said, pressing a quick kiss to Will's lips. He jumped off the bed and went toward the door… "Should I…." Will asked inclining his head toward the bathroom door. "Don't be silly." Paul laughed… "the whole world knows I am goy now.. there is no reason to hide. He said as he opened the door. "Can I help you?" he said just before his eyes met Sonny's…
