Chapter 4

Darrin and Brad were total opposites anatomically. Brad was tall, Darrin short. Brad had dark, almost black hair, Darrin was a blond. Darrin was movie star handsome, Brad ruggedly good-looking. Brad was a hairy, muscular bear, Darrin a smooth, lightly muscled twink. The exceptions were his legs and butt. Darrin was a dancer. The hours of training had left him with powerfully built legs and a bubble butt that made many men drool, Brad among them.

There was yet another way in which the two men were the antithesis of one another. Darrin was completely out, and made no bones about his sexual orientation. Brad was deeply closeted, a product of the football culture to which he belonged. Yet the oxymoronic pair were deeply in love.
