Wounded by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan and suffering post traumatic stress as a result, Andy Johnson is given a medical discharge from the British army. Shunning attention, Andy lives a quiet and lonely existence on his pig farm in Yorkshire. His peace is threatened when his friends take him to the city for his birthday. They buy him a kiss from Luke Wales, a twink porn star. Overwhelmed and needing some air, Andy escapes outside. Luke finds him there. They talk and Andy begins to relax. It’s cold and Andy gives Luke his combat jacket. However Roger, Luke’s boyfriend appears and the momentary connection is lost. Weeks later, recently separated from Roger, Luke is back in the north of England. He decides to pay Andy a visit, using the excuse of returning the man’s jacket. A snow storm forces the two men to spend time together, and a tentative friendship begins. Neither man is convinced they are worthy of the other. It takes time, plus the encouragement of friends and Andy’s teenage nephew, Craig, to convince the reluctant couple that what exists on the surface only tells part of the story. Andy’s scars and Luke’s past employment shouldn’t stand in the way of them exploring what each feels for the other.

Surface Tension

Andy soaped up his hands again.He picked up Luke’s soft penis in his right hand and stifled a moan.It was smooth,soft and,yes,beautiful.He knew he’d have to come up with another term to describe Luke and everything about him,but‘beautiful’just fit so perfectly.Luke’s penis twitched.Andy stared.It was straight from base to tip,with only the slightest bulge atthe crown,which was fully sheathed in foreskin.The whole thing was flawless.There was no curve,no irregular bumps or wrinkles.Only the faintest veining could be seen under the skin.The colour was slightly darker than the rest of Luke.The nest of white-blond pubic hairs proved that Luke was a natural blond,Either that or he bleaches this too,Andy told himself,as the fingertips of his left hand ran through the neatly trimmed bush.


Andy looked up at Luke’s face.“Sorry.”
