Sometimes you can’t see the silver lining for the clouds. Abandoned as a baby and now working as a rent boy, Daniel finds it hard to let people get close to him. But nightclub bouncer Rob has a kind face and he’s helped Daniel out once already, so when he catches Daniel on a bad night, Daniel accepts his offer of money and goes home with him. Even though it breaks his heart. Letting Rob pay him for sex may have wrecked their friendship just when Daniel needs all the friends he can get. But there are more reasons why he hasn’t seen Rob since that night -- and one in particular that makes building a relationship seem almost too much to hope for.

Making It Pay

Daniel’s not sure who started trying to get the other bloke’s clothes off first, but pretty soon they’re shirtless and fumbling at trouser buttons.


“Stand up,” he tells Rob hoarsely, dropping on his knees on the floor. Shakily, he manages to undo Rob’s trousers and they fall to the ground, leaving only a thin layer of cotton between him and what he’s after. The bulge in those underpants looks fucking gorgeous and Daniel mouths it through them while Rob gasps. Carefully, Daniel pulls the waistband down and over the head of that lovely cock. Even next to the rest of Rob’s bulk, it looks big. Daniel spares a moment to wonder what the fuck Rob’s doing here with him when he could have anyone he wanted. Then he gets to work, nuzzling him, licking him, teasing him before finally plunging him into his mouth.


“Condoms…” Rob rasps, and for a moment Daniel’s appalled at himself for forgetting the cardinal rule. He fishes in his back pocket and pulls out a foil packet.
