The eighteen wheeler in front of me had shown symptoms of irregular driving, and I was just contemplating whether to drop the speed to stay back even more. It was raining so heavily it was nearly dark. My attention never would have wandered so far to the edge of the road, if the truck hadn't deliberately swerved to the side to hit a large puddle, splashing s...
Author's Note: As promised, a longer story in time to give you all something to read over the holiday (given that it posts in a timely manner). This season, I am thankful that I did not lose my eyesight. I also give thanks to all of my readers, and a whole heaping of thanks to Nelle1022 for beta reading, editing, and providing much appreciated input. ****...
This version is edited from the original, although there aren't loads of changes in the first couple of chapters -- mainly a little tease at the end of chap. 2. Then: usual caveats -- everyone in this story is over 18, and it's gay romance so if m/m isn't your thing you're lost. * * * * * I check myself in the scratched and dim full-length mirror behind...
Gabe checked the clock incessantly as he drove back to the park-and-ride. Eddie had been reminding him to relax a bit when it came to the deliveries. Don't get yourself worked up, he would say—not until there's something to get worked up over. Wise words, to be certain, but Gabe was finding it difficult to change his ways. And yet, he was not alone in the c...
(All characters are over 18 and this is a work of fiction.) Again, big thanks to LaRascasse and Oldnakeddad for editing and advising!

It's my favorite part of writing and brings me so...
KIJUS: "I'm not stupid! Just explain to me why you're giving me all this money..." Mercury said, growing frustrated. "I already told you that I'm going to be away for a while. It's already taking a lot for me to even trust you with this money as is.... Don't make me wrong." I said through the grit of my teeth, eyes and head clenched. "I'm an official of t...
Prologue: To recap what had happened to me in the summer of 1999, chronicled in "The Road to Stardom", I was working at an accounting firm in Los Angles, had a girlfriend, an apartment, and a car. Things were going well. Then I lost my job, my girlfriend moved out of town and my car broke down. I spent my days and nights looking for work with no luck and wo...
[Ch. 01 should be read first] Chapter 31 Easter vacation Since grandmother Singleton was now pretty elderly, we always stayed in a hotel when we visited her in Nice at Easter. We did not think that I had known my boyfriend long enough to introduce him to her, so there was nothing very novel about our visit that year. I did of course tell her about my...
[If you are a new reader, you must read Part 02 first, otherwise you will never understand about Luke's two families.] Chapter 51 Consequences of Luke's indiscretion I realized as soon as Nic Aspergini had turned up dating one of Tom's fellow chemists, that the gay world of Camford was potentially dangerous to our relationship and much better avoided. In...
Chapter 9 - Depression, Disappearance and Rekindling Dave laid behind Leroy and snuggled up to him. "I love you Leroy." He could feel Leroy tense, Dave knew Leroy was retreating, plain and simple. He could also tell Leroy was falling deeper and deeper into depression, anything Dave did to help pull him out just cause Leroy to fall even further. It didn't he...
