It’s
taken Tommy Newsome a while to get his head around being gay.
Growing
up in a small town in Georgia, hasn’t prepared him for the more
liberal life of a student at the university in Athens. Add to that
the teachings of his parents and his church, and you have one shy
young man who feels out of his depth. Working on his daddy’s farm
hasn’t given him any chance of a social life, certainly not one
like the clubs of Atlanta have on offer. Not that Tommy feels
comfortable when he gets to sample it—Momma’s lectures still ring
loudly inside his head.
All
that changes when he goes to his first gay bar and sets eyes on Mike
Scott.
When
Mike’s not behind the bar at Woofs, he’s busy with his life as
adult entertainer Scott Masters. Twenty years in the industry and the
times, they are a-changing. Mike’s not had much luck in the
relationship department, but as his mom is fond of telling him, you
keep fishing in the same pond, you’re gonna reel in the same kind
of fish. Maybe it’s time for a change.
And
then a beautiful young man asks Mike to be his first….
“I
see your stalker’s here again.”
“Huh?”
Mike frowned. “What are you talking about now, Kev?” He
concentrated on the drink order for Dave and his friends over in the
corner.
Kevin
grinned and flicked his head toward the rear of the bar. “You know
exactly
who I’m talking ’bout. Mr. Cutie Pie over there with the muscles.
Y’know, the one who’s been sitting on that barstool every
Saturday night for the last five weeks?” He arched his eyebrows.
“Don’t give me that ‘butter wouldn’t melt’ act. I seen you
looking.” His grin widened. “G’on, tell me I’m wrong.”
Mike
wasn’t about to give him the satisfaction. “You’re wrong,” he
stated emphatically.
Kevin
stared. “Hell, you’re a poor liar.” Then his eyes gleamed. “In
that case, you
can take him his burger, tater tots, and Cherry Coke. Maybe you could
even get him to say a few words beyond ‘Hey.’ ’Cause I swear
that’s all I’ve ever heard out of that pretty little mouth of
his.”
Mike
snickered. “I think if I spoke to him, he’d piss his pants.”
Kevin
guffawed and went off to the back of the bar. Inside Mike was cursing
himself. He’d been careful not to glance too openly at the guy.
Those queens he worked with were too damn good at spotting when one
of them was taking an interest in a customer. And fuck it, he was
interested in the painfully shy but so
sexy young man who hadn’t said a word.
“And
then there’s the fact that every time he comes in here,” Kevin
continued, appearing beside him as if there hadn’t been a break in
conversation, “I watch him look 'round the bar ’til he sees you.”
That grin was still in place.
“Are
you still
going on about him?” Mike demanded. “Sure you’re not the one
here who’s fixating?”
Kevin
held up his hands. “I just call it like I see it. I think he’s
only here to ogle you.”
“Well,
he’s gonna be disappointed if he turns up in a couple week’s
time, isn’t he, ’cause I won’t be here.”
Kevin’s
brow furrowed. “Since when do you not work on weekends?”
“Since
I’ll be in LA, that’s when.” Mike returned his grin.
“Remember?”
“Oh,
yeah, you’ve got a shoot. I’d clean forgotten.” He faked a sad
face. “Aw, how you gonna cope without seeing that gorgeous bod?”
He leered. “Then again, don’t worry your head about it. I’m
sure me or Patrick can take care of him.” He waggled his eyebrows.
Mike
groaned. “For fuck’s sake, just leave the kid alone, okay? He’s
not hurting anyone.” Mike had seen enough to know the guy wasn’t
going to be a problem. He preferred this quiet observation to the
occasional gropings of fans when he made appearances at Hustlaball or
Southern Decadence. The kid appeared to have good manners.
“Here’s
his order.” Kevin handed him the tray containing the Angus burger,
tater tots, and Cherry Coke. “I’m sure he’ll be delighted to
get it from you.” That shit-eating grin just wouldn’t quit.
Mike
shook his head and took the tray. He walked over to where the young
guy sat, his eyes widening as Mike approached. “Here you go,”
Mike said cheerfully, setting the food down in front of him.
The
young guy blushed furiously. “Th-thanks.” He lowered his gaze and
commenced picking at his tots.
Mike
retreated to a safe distance and watched him while he ate. He liked
the look of those wide shoulders, the reddish-brown hair, not too
short, the barest hint of scruff on his jawline and those striking
green eyes. His skin was creamy where it showed, which spoke of a lot
of time spent covered up. With his coloring, that was understandable.
But that body was speaking even louder to Mike’s dick, which was
definitely
interested, judging by the way it filled as he feasted on the
delectable view before him.
His
attention was forcibly drawn away when someone pinched his ass, good
and hard.
“You
are so
busted.”
Fucking
Kevin.
Born
and raised in the north-west of England, K.C. WELLS always loved
writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood
gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way.
K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a ménage
storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in
love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life
led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger
discovery waited in the wings—writing about men in love was even
hotter….
K.C.
now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career.
The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it
wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that
where K.C goes, it goes.
And
as for those men in love that she writes about? The list of stories
just waiting to be written is getting longer… and longer….
