Willis Moore is a detective with the Richmond City police department. A case he was involved with went down badly and he was given a month's sabbatical to pull himself together after the death of his informant, a young man named Teabag, with whom Will had let himself become sexually involved.<br><br>Back on the force now, Will finds himself drawn to another street punk, a hustler named Corey, who seeks police assistance to protect his "boys" from a violent attacker. He and Corey work well together, and Will dares to hope their relationship might be heading toward something more. But he still can't seem to shake the feeling he will eventually fail to protect the hustler ... the same way he failed to save Tea.

Tricked Out

Another shake, and Corey frowned. “I don’t think he’d want to talk to you. I mean, he wouldn’t even come down here with me today. He says it’s nothing, even though we spent the morning in the emergency room so they could stitch him up.”


Will poised his pen over the report, ready to write. “Why?”


“Apparently the guy with the van drove Bobby down to the Canal Walk.” Corey’s gaze grew distant as he talked. “Parked on a side street somewhere, invited Bobby into the back of the van. It was all tricked out, you know? A cot, some blankets, a few kinky things like cuffs and whips. Bobby’s just into sucking dick—that’s why we call him BJ—but somehow this guy sweet talks him into stripping down. Bobby waits until the guy starts unbuckling his pants before he gets started. Shirt off, pants down…he’s bending over trying to step out of them when he feels the slap of the guy’s belt across his backside.”
