For months, office worker Kevin Lawrence has carried a torch for Joey Goldman, head driver at the haulage company where they both work. One rainy night, Kevin slips and falls on a patch of motor oil and Joey is there to catch him. Despite being damaged both emotionally and physically from previous relationships, Kevin is helplessly drawn to the dominant trucker. Joey’s muscles and rugged good looks means he never has trouble finding men to take to bed. But no man has managed to get under his skin ... until Kevin. Life for Joey soon becomes complicated. He isn’t out to his family, but feels an increasing need to be Kevin’s Sir -- to love, protect and guide his submissive lover. Can Joey and Kevin make the journey together, or will outside forces and internal fears cause them to travel in opposite directions?

Trucker and Pup

??Budge up???? Joey said, standing in front of the settee, mugs of cocoa in hand.


Kevin moved along the sofa, giving Joey room to sit next to him. Joey??s hands shook a little with the cold as he handed over one of the mugs.


??Thanks.?? Joey hadn??t expected Kevin to want to be so intimate, but wasn??t about to refuse the offer. Even though the gas fire was blazing away, it was a cold night, and the room hadn??t had a chance to heat up.


Once the two were snuggled together, Kevin gulped down a mouthful of his cocoa, which set off a fit of coughing. Joey took the mug from him, fearful he??d spill the hot liquid.


??Sorry, wasn??t expecting it to taste like that.??


??Suppose I did go overboard on the coffee liqueur.??


??Is that what it was??? Kevin accepted the mug again, and took a more tentative sip.
