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

“Are you all right?Your ribs,do they hurt?”


“Well,just a bit,but not much.Honest,”Luke added when Andy didn’t seem to believe him.“Trust me;you have nothing to worry about.You were great.Are you sure you haven’t had a career in porn?‘Cause you were brilliant.”


Andy,much to his shame,blushed.“Piss off.”


Luke laughed.“You were really great.And yes,it’s a hell of a lot better when you’re in love with the guy doing the sucking.


Andy smiled.He knew Luke was telling him the truth.


“Now,come on,my turn.We’re not in a hurry this time round.”


It took Andy a couple of seconds to realise what Luke was talking about.He was so wrapped up in making sure Luke wasn’t hurt and had enjoyed it,that he’d forgotten about his own needs.“No,you don’t have—”


“Oh,yes I have to.Remember,tonight is supposed to be all about what I want.And I want—no,need—to pleasure my boyfriend.”


“Bossy bugger.”Andy rolled over onto his back,his hard dick slapping him on the thigh as he turned.
