“Isn’t that right, Brandon?” Lydia’s question cut through the abyss. Brandon snapped back, catching the pointed look she was shooting him from across the conference table. He had wandered off again–had it been to the dim interior of the garage this time? No. As the clouds lifted, he shifted forward in his seat and folded…

32. One Step Forward, All Steps Back
Another wave of peony wallpaper curled from the ceiling and sank into a defeated heap on the floor. Brandon’s shirt stuck to him as the steamer slowly transformed Anthony’s bedroom into a pressure cooker. He wasn’t complaining, though. Both a designer who saw a room desperately in need of reform and a lover who craved a place where…
31. Weekend Getaway
“I don’t get it,” came Lydia’s voice over the cell phone. Brandon cocked his head and narrowed his eyes in irritation. The scenery was stunning from his Adirondack chair on the covered deck, but all he could see in his mind’s eye was his work wife playing with her hair and looking at him through…
30. Wipe Your Feet

He stood in the aisle at Home Depot, his mind reeling that there could be so many shapes, intensities, and hues to passing some electricity through an LED. He put his phone to his ear as he scanned the shelves for something that approximated a product as…
27. Quid Pro Quo
Brandon had barely stepped out of his SUV before he started getting hard. Anthony was waiting for him on the steps of the front porch. He was wearing the exact same outfit he had worn so many months ago when Brandon had decided he could no longer deny his fetish. The long sleeve t, the faded camo pants,…
26. Walk a Mile
Dell steps out onto the landing. The stairwell lights are off, but enough morning light glows orange and pink through the window for him to see the jumble of shoes by the door. He grabs his Timberland work boots with his right hand, the padded leather collars squealing against each other as if in delight as his…
