Expressions of Love
Love expresses itself in a variety of ways and there are too many to mention. The couples in this story will show you six of them. Two things inspired this story. One of them is the men from Logo TV's reality show "The A List: New York", which is no longer on the air. It followed six prominent/popular gay men in New York City. Which is why they are A List. The other inspiration is the song "Expressions of Love" by Raul Midon. I love this song!!! I love the way it's written and sung. And Stevie Wonder is playing harmonica. Who wouldn't love that? This story also features prompts from the Fan Fic 100 and Sex Prompt 100 lists. A quote, song or both along with the prompt further inspired some chapters. Hope you enjoy; reviews are cool and appreciated.Complete
