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

Grabbing a few items from the first aid box, Kevin scuttled back to Joey??s lorry. He saw a rather dishevelled Cal lumbering towards his own vehicle??Kevin gave him a wide berth. No point in tempting fate, he thought. 


??Ouch!?? Joey winced as Kevin applied iodine to his cuts.


??Yeah, you did,?? Joey said through gritted teeth.


??Well, if you will go off fighting,?? Kevin said light-heartedly.


Kevin stopped what he was doing and lowered his head. ??No one??s ever stuck up for me before,?? he whispered.


Kevin felt a hand rest on his shoulder; he looked up to see a concerned expression on Joey??s face.


??I was always getting picked on at school. I tried to make friends with a couple of the bigger kids, hoping they??d protect me.??


??And did they??? Joey rubbed Kevin??s shoulder.


??Sort of, but they weren??t keen on having a nerd hanging around them all the time.??
