    About this ebook

    It might look weird for a musician to *fangirl* another musician, but Ed Finley didn’t give a damn. He adored and had a crush on singer and pianist, Gavin O’Malley—to the point of sticking O’Malley’s pin-ups all over the walls of his room. Ed thought his dream had come true when he was scheduled to perform together with his idol on stage.

    Gavin O’Malley thought Ed was okay when they ended up being together that night. The night meant everything to Ed, while it was only another one-night stand for Gavin.

    Ed decides to stay away while Gavin, after rejecting Ed, couldn’t stop thinking about the other man. Will Gavin get a chance to tell Ed his true feelings?

    I’m Iyana Jenna and you can call me Iyana. I like writing, romance, and man love so as you can see on this site, you’re mostly going to find m/m stories whether they are for adults or young adults. They are not going to be too heavy on explicit sex, though, as many say that my stories are considered sweet romance.

      HOW LONG WILL I LOVE YOU

      Chapter One

      His eyes were deceiving him. How could they not be? Nowhere in the booklet for the music festival had it said they were going to perform on stage together. That man, a fine figure of a brilliant pianist as well as a singer with the strongest voice Ed had ever heard. Gavin O’Malley. As if he wasn’t perfect already, Gavin was tall and broad-shouldered with a narrow waist and a nice ass that fit perfectly in his jeans.

      All right, so he most definitely was fanboying and drooling embarrassingly. That wouldn’t do before a show with the object of his fantasy. It wasn’t that he wasn’t popular himself. He wouldn’t have been here otherwise. With several successful albums and singles under his belt, Ed had been touted as the year’s bestselling artist by a widely-published music magazine. Ed Finley, a farm boy from Dublin. Who would’ve thought?

      You all set?

      Ed jumped and rubbed his mouth, feeling sheepish. He wasn’t actually drooling, thank God.

      Yeah.

      Good. We’ll begin in a moment. I’ll tell O’Malley—

      Wait, Danny, isn’t it? Danny was his liaison for this event.

      Yeah?

      Why didn’t anybody tell me I’m going to sing with him? Ed nodded at Gavin, who was on his phone backstage.

      Danny gave him a funny look and for a second Ed panicked. He thought Danny could read his mind.

      You didn’t check your e-mail? I sent the updated program four days ago.

      Really? He took a relieved breath.

      Yes. I didn’t hear back from you, so I thought everything was okay. Tell me everything’s okay, Danny pleaded.

      Was everything okay? It was beyond perfect. Sure. No problem, he said, suppressing his true emotion.

      That’s awesome. Danny turned and ran to Gavin. Ed watched them talk a bit, and suddenly he found himself unable to breathe. Gavin had looked in his direction with his grayish-blue eyes. Ed wouldn’t admit it if anyone asked him at that moment how he could tell Gavin’s eye color from such a distance. He wouldn’t admit that his idol’s eye color was a mere speck in the sea of information he’d collected about Gavin.

      He’d zoned out for a moment—such a short time—but got back a second too late, to find Gavin’s hand already thrust into his personal space.

      Uh, hi, he said, sounding totally lame.

      Hi.

      Gavin sounded too composed for Ed’s comfort, but that voice…Ed got hard in an instant.

      Gavin whistled. Ed Finley. Do you have any idea how hard it was to believe when I read that I was going to be on the same stage with you? He shook Ed’s hand heartily.

      Ed gaped as he shook Gavin’s hand, blood rushing up to his face. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. Gavin’s laugh was soft and sincere. He hugged Ed next. Ed welcomed the strong, heavy arms around him and enjoyed every second of Gavin’s muscled chest pressed against his.

      He wasn’t under any delusion that the hug might mean anything. Insecurity hit him full force as he realized how pathetic he was compared to Gavin. For one, his chest was nowhere near as hard as Gavin’s. What am I doing? Ed jerked back and put some distance between them.

      What’s wrong? Gavin asked, frowning.

      Nothing. Ed shook his head, looking anywhere but into Gavin’s eyes. I, uh. I need to go prepare myself.

      Oh, okay.

      Was it his imagination or did he really see disappointment flashing across Gavin’s eyes? Ed almost turned around, but a voice in his head stopped him.

      Suddenly Ed was back in high school. He’d joined the school band, hoping to meet a cool, popular guy. Nothing could have been further from the truth. He wasn’t the lead vocal all the girls were crazy about or the drummer who thought he was almighty and powerful on his throne way up there on stage. He was just a shy, skinny boy with ruffled red curls that kept falling into his eyes. What was more, he was gay. He couldn’t even pretend to appreciate the hysterical screaming coming from the girls. He was weird and awkward.

      As weird and awkward as he was now in front of his favorite singer, for fuck’s sake. Ed cursed himself, but he knew he was right. There was no way Gavin could like him like that even if the man was gay. Was Gavin gay? Ed remembered reading an interview somewhere, and though Gavin hadn’t really admitted it, he hadn’t exactly denied it.

      Whatever. Even if Gavin really was gay, there was no reason for him to like someone like Ed, who was practically walking awkwardness.

      Ed went to his designated corner backstage. He’d enter the stage from there, while Gavin would take the other corner.

      Ladies and gentlemen, this year’s bestselling artist, please welcome, Ed Finley!

      Ed jumped up onto the stage and waved. A sense of wonderment and gratitude washed over him as he swept his gaze around the audience. Playing in front of an audience was still as amazing as it had been a year ago, when he’d begun his singing career. And tonight, he had been informed that around five thousand people had come to this park for the music festival. Of course, they might have come for Gavin, but at least they got to see him, too.

      Your guitar, Your Highness.

      Ed had not heard Gavin come on stage, let alone realized that he was suddenly standing beside him, thrusting his guitar into his hand. He mentally hit his head against the nearest wall. It was all Gavin’s fault, he thought.

      T-thank you.

      No problem. Gavin smiled, showing his perfect white teeth, making him swoon. Are you ready to roll?

      Ed shook himself. He couldn’t be like this. Tonight was about the audience, his fans. People who’d come to be entertained. Ed pushed aside the things he felt about Gavin O’Malley. He was a professional, after all.

      Bring it.

      Gavin sang the first song. Or at least, it was Gavin’s song, but they sang it together. They hadn’t got to rehearse and they weren’t required to sing together, but Ed couldn’t help it. He knew all of Gavin’s songs, kept playing them on his iPod, and sang them when he showered.

      He also fantasized about having Gavin sing them in his ear as he pounded into him.

      The Night Sky is Yours rolled out smoothly between him and Gavin.

      They sang each verse alternately, and they exchanged glances when Gavin played the bridging notes on the piano. Gavin winked and grinned at him. Ed’s heart beat faster, and he looked away and smiled a little. His face burned, and tingles ran down his spine.

      When it came to his turn, Gavin asked him what song he’d sing. Ed didn’t know if he should feel disappointed when Gavin said he didn’t know "Deep Down Inside." But of course he didn’t expect him to. Gavin might have thought highly of Ed, but he wasn’t a hardcore fan who memorized all his songs. Still, perhaps it was because that song wasn’t number one in the music charts.

      Ed still
