He's horny enough that a lot of guys would look good, but Billy seems special somehow. Billy thinks Johnson's the hottest ticket he's seen since he moved to California from Texas, and after a good meal and some good fun, he takes Johnson home. They both find out they're getting more than they bargained for. Can Johnson and Billy figure out why they feel so connected?

Billy and Johnson are back in this second installment of Bruised. They're exploring their relationship in every way, really enjoying each other, in and out of bed. They're spending so much time together, in fact, that they start to wonder why they're living in separate places. When Billy's work keeps him away for days at a time, things start to get a little tense. The boys fight like they love, and they're missing each other too much to believe what they have is a casual thing. Can they find a way to make their lives mesh, or will they start to grow apart too soon after they come together?

Billy and Johnson see less of each other now than they did when they first met. Billy's job as a lawyer is taking its toll on him, working him long hours and leaving him aching for Johnson's touch. Johnson is just as frustrated, wanting his Billy with him, wanting them to be together. When things get really bad at the office, Johnson knows just what to do to make Billy feel better. A little vacation, a little bruising, they all go a long way to helping Billy relax. Can Johnson make it all better when Billy's boss gives Billy an ultimatum that might tear them apart?
