Love at First Bite by MissMerlot

[Reviews - 662] half-star

Summary:

What happens when Justin's need for food, Brian's need for something (but he doesn't know what) and Michael's need for attention clash...

This is a co-author fic with Bea Johnson, who suggested the idea. She, Nichelle Wellesly and Kathy Hearns are my awesome betas. Thanks ladies!
