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

What the fuck?It took Joey a couple of seconds to process what had happened, he??d only been joking around. What the hell has this bloke been through to make him like this? 


Getting down on his knees next to the shaking man, Joey gently reached out a hand. 


??I??m sorry, Pup.?? Joey tried to sound as gentle and reassuring as he could. ??I??d never hurt you.?? Joey found his voice was cracking with emotion. It was true; he couldn??t imagine causing harm to the gentle soul he??d befriended. ??I??m gonna put my hands on your shoulders, okay? I??m not going to hurt you, I promise.?? 


Joey reached out his large, work-roughened hands and gently rested them on Kevin??s shoulders. He could feel the tremors coming from the smaller man, but Joey held still, hoping some measure of calmness would flow out of him and into the troubled younger man.
