J. Tomas

Sixteen year old Jacob Smithson has quite a temper. He’s picked on by other kids because he likes boys, and recent fighting has kicked him out of public school. As a last resort, his parents have placed him in the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Boarding School for Boys.<br><br>It’s at his first mass at St. Thomas where he sees Avery Dendritch, a senior who serves as altar boy during the service. When they meet, the attraction between them is hard to deny. The two become fast friends, and as the school year progresses, their friendship deepens into something more. For the first time, Jacob has found a place where he belongs ... and someone with whom he’s falling in love.<br><br>But the other students gossip about their growing relationship, and while Avery can ignore them, Jacob cannot. As the rumors and slurs start up again, can he curb his temper, or will his penchant for fighting get him expelled from St. Thomas, as well?

Without Sin

At least, Jacob hopeshe’s thinking about that. He hopes there’s no one in the bathroom, either, because he’s going to have to relieve the throbbing erection that is biting into his boxers, and he tends to whimper a little too loudly when he comes. He wonders again if he can possibly smuggle Avery into his room, but he doesn’t want to chance it. Not if Mike’s there. He’s got a big mouth and it’ll get all over the school by Monday, the fact that they’re hooking up, and Jacob doesn’t think he can fight everyone.


Another sigh, and Avery pulls away from him. It’s a slight gesture but enough to say he better go. “Tonight, then.” He turns and heads for his own dorm.


Jacob takes the stairs two at a time to his floor. He still wants a goodbye kiss.


When Jacob gets out of the shower, clean and damp, flushed from the hot water and his own hand, Mike is back.
