Geeky CAD technician Jack Monroe is
bi-curious, but after he falls head over heels for a certain curly-haired
construction surveyor, he’s ready to admit he’s gay. Too bad Alex James is
straight and has a girlfriend who keeps him on a short leash.
Jack is determined to meet other gay men,
but after a few dates from hell, he's ready to give up. Then he meets Richard
Caldwell, part owner of the exclusive Gentlemen’s Club where wealthy members
can make their dreams come true. Richard takes Jack under his wing and offers
him a chance to act out his fantasy with an Alex lookalike. Nobody can replace
Alex, but knowing the real thing is off-limits, Jack accepts the offer. When
the real deal shows up, Jack is convinced that Alex is only there for the
money. But sometimes dreams do come true.

STORY EXCERPT
I hate gyms!
But then, Jack had pretty much hated gym
class all through school. Always the smallest kid in the class, and the last
picked for any game, he’d shied away from any kind of sports. He preferred to
have his nose buried in a book rather than broken on the hockey field, and he
couldn’t hit a baseball to save his life. At least no one ever bullied him, but
no one wanted to be his friend either.
High school was more of the same. While the
other guys tried out for football or screwed as many girls as they could, Jack
spent his time studying or on the computer. What made it even worse was his
sister had been a top-notch gymnast who’d almost made it to the Olympics. Lucy
had gotten the best of the Monroe gene pool. Their parents had avoided
comparing them, but sibling rivalry was inevitable. Jack couldn’t help swinging
back and forth between admiring and detesting Lucy. To this day, they barely
spoke and only saw each other on the holidays. His fault, not hers.
Jack pulled into the parking lot of the
Liberty Gym, but he didn’t turn off the ignition.
I can still change my mind. I don’t have to
go in.
He’d almost turned back twice already on
the seven-mile drive from work to the gym. Still undecided, he sat behind the
wheel, thinking.
What the fuck am I doing here? Maybe
twenty-eight is too damn old to start acting like one of the guys.
On the other hand, Jack was sick of being
some kind of bibliosexual freak. All those years spent reading about other
people’s lives, and he still had no idea who Jack Monroe was.
Will the real me please stand up?
A knock on the car window interrupted his
thoughts, and Jack’s head jerked up.
Alex!
His coworker peered in at him with a
furrowed brow and a questioning look. Too late to change his mind now, the
decision had been made for him. Jack turned the key and opened the door.
“Jack, you okay?” Alex looked a little
worried as Jack got out of the car.
“Course he is. Let’s get a move on, before
all the equipment is taken.” Kyle’s tone grated on Jack’s nerves. What the fuck
was his hurry? The man already looked like a terminator. It gave Jack a bit of
satisfaction that Kyle had to comb his thinning hair over a distractingly shiny
scalp.
Jack ran a hand through his own thick,
sandy mop and smirked. “Oh yeah. Wouldn’t want to miss a minute of this
opportunity.” Bullshit. Kyle, being the only member, acted like they
were here on his dime. In reality, Jack and Alex were using free passes that
Kyle had scarfed up because the gym was doing a big promotion to get new
members.
The three coworkers started walking around
to the front entrance, Jack lagging behind. The gym looked like a shiny oasis
in the middle of a very ugly strip mall.
“You coming?” Alex called over his
shoulder.
Jack took a deep breath and picked up his
pace.
Alex turned and grinned at him. “Wouldn’t
want to lose you.”
If only it were true.
The thought came unbidden to Jack’s mind,
and he brushed it aside. He’d been having these urges lately, and they all
revolved around Alexander James. Pretty damn surprising since they hardly knew
each other and even weirder because Jack hadn’t been attracted to anyone in so
long, he’d started to think he was asexual. He’d never been sexually
abused, and he knew he wasn’t impotent because he enjoyed masturbating, but
until now, he’d never known what it meant to have chemistry with someone—man or
woman. This bizarre sexual pull toward Alex must be what people referred to as
having butterflies in their gut.
Too bad it’s one-sided.
Kyle stood in front of the entrance. “Let’s
do it,” he said cheerfully.
The door opened, and they walked into a
trendy temple of fitness where all the muscle guys were gods who looked good
enough to pose alongside Ryan Reynolds in a photo shoot. Suddenly Jack’s throat
felt tight and his pulse raced. He felt like he was back in middle school
again, trying to measure up.
Suck it up and go for it.It’s all in your
mind.
ADULT EXCERPT
Jack suddenly felt shy undressing in front
of another man. It was just easier if he didn’t have to watch Alex watching
him.
“What are you thinking?” The voice behind
Jack was low and husky.
But before Jack could reply, hands reached
around his waist and held him close, close enough that Jack could feel the
warmth of a hard furry chest against his back. Jack swore he could feel the
erratic thump of Alex’s heart, and the other man’s barely controlled passion
scared the shit out of him. Jack hadn’t been this anxious in the bathroom at
the Canopy Club. But that had been a stranger sucking him off. This was Alex!
Searching fingers released his zipper, and
a warm palm slid inside the fly of his slacks. A hand fisted his cock and
stroked, nudging the swollen head at every pass.
Jack groaned.
The feeling of another guy’s big, calloused
hand around his cock did crazy, wonderful things to Jack’s flesh. Knowing who
belonged to that hand made it even better. Alex’s thumb rubbed circles over the
leaking head. Then Alex lifted his thumb to Jack’s mouth and brushed a bit of
pre-cum over his lips. It was a taste of what was coming, and it made Jack
anxious for more. He gripped the waistband of his jeans, and Alex helped him
shimmy out of them and his briefs.
“Turn around and look at me, Jackson.”
Jack did as he was told, and Alex stepped
back. Slowly and seductively, Alex’s gaze slid downward, stopping at Jack’s
leaking prick before traveling back up. “Tell me you want me, Jackson.”
Jack had never been good at expressing his
feelings. Words didn’t come easy. “You know I do.”
“I need to hear you say it. I need to know
you want me and not some anonymous stripper. Because if it’s not like that, we
can stop right now.”
Pure desperation helped Jack force the
words out. “I want you, Alex,” he heard himself say. “It’s always been you. I
didn’t think I could have you.”
“You make me so fucking hot,” Alex said
hoarsely. He pulled Jackson into his arms. “I’m not sure I could stop if you
wanted me to.”
Alex grabbed the hair at Jack’s nape and
kissed him hard, pushing his tongue deep into the man’s mouth. Jack returned
the kiss, his mouth wide open, his body rubbing against Alex. Alex felt so
fucking good. Jack melted against his warm body, making them both shudder. It
was hot as hell.
Panting, Alex suddenly pulled back. “Want
to suck you.”
Oh, God. Jack wanted that,
too. But even more, he wanted Alex’s cock in his mouth. He wanted to know that
he could bring pleasure to Alex. What Jack lacked in experience, he’d make up
for with enthusiasm.
He averted his eyes. “Alex?”
“What, baby?”
“Me, too.”
“Tell me.”
“I want to suck you, too,” Jack croaked
helplessly.
“Fuck, yes.”
Alex looked like the director of a porn
movie as he lay on his back and told Jack where he wanted him. Jack would have
laughed if he hadn’t been so hot and so embarrassed. He climbed on the bed, and
facing Alex’s feet, he straddled his head. Alex stared up at Jack’s cock and
licked his lips.
“Want to make you come so hard you see
stars.” Alex growled. He gripped Jack’s thighs, urging him down.
Jack crawled over him until they were both
in a mouth-to-genitals position. Jack slid his hands over Alex’s thighs. The
coarse hair bristled under his palms. Alex’s penis stood straight up and wagged
like a metronome in front of Jack’s face. He’d never been this up close and
personal with another man’s cock. Fascinated, he compared it to his own. Maybe
a little longer… Jack traced a finger over the bulging veins and heard a quick
intake of breath behind him.
The tip of Jack’s cock brushed against
Alex’s lips, and Alex swirled his tongue around the head.
“Oh, God,” Jack moaned as he did the same
to Alex and was rewarded with appreciative grunts and groans.
Then Jack’s cock was bathed in wet heat as
Alex licked his shaft from top to bottom. Determined to please his lover, Jack
did the same for Alex. A few swipes of his tongue, and instinctively he wanted
more. His mouth closed around the purple head, and Jack let it slide over his
tongue. It seemed like such an intimate act, having another man’s dick in his
mouth. Jack relaxed his jaw and slid his lips up and down the shaft, swiping
the head with his tongue on every pass. God, he hoped Alex was enjoying this as
much as he was.
Happy Reading!
