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

??You don??t want to be dancing to his tune all the time. I know you??re not the sort to make a fuss, but if he knows he can walk all over you. Well, you know, you don??t want another one like Cal.??


Kevin knew his friend only had his best interests at heart, but he wished Peter wouldn??t interfere so much. No, that was unfair. Peter had helped him get over Cal, he knew he??d never have done it without him. 


??Joey isn??t like Cal. He??s told me, and shown me often enough that he isn??t.??


??Well, okay, then.?? Peter didn??t sound convinced. ??You know I??m here, love, if you need me. Please, mate, don??t give the bloke the power to hurt you.??


It??s gone way beyond that, Kevin thought sadly. ??I know, and thanks. But honestly I??m okay. I wanna stick around here for when he comes round. He said we??d grab a bite to eat.??


??Don??t you think it??s all happening a bit soon? I don??t want you to get hurt.??
