After being disappointed too many times by the hook-up sites, Broadway dancer Darrin Houghton takes down his profiles. However, when he gets a message from an intriguing hunk on a site he’d forgotten about, Darrin sets up a meeting despite his reservations.<br><br>Brad Grabosky is a deeply closeted football player in the NFL. Brad has a preference for no strings attached, anonymous, one night flings in seedy motel rooms.<br><br>However, love has a way of complicating the intentions of both men, leading them to make compromises they never thought possible. Will Darrin and Brad find a way to get to first and goal and ultimately score a touchdown? Or will their chance at happiness be fumbled away?

First and Goal

“What the fuck?” Darrin said. “I’m not some kind of call boy, buster! Screw you, Charlie.”


He logged out but three minutes later signed back in and wrote, Hey, good to hear from you. Sorry, I’m busy tomorrow. I’ll be in rehearsal. I have a role in a new show.


Darrin stopped. Had he mentioned to Charlie he was a dancer? He couldn’t remember. Probably not. They hadn’t talked much that first time they were together.


He continued writing. Busy most evenings. But I’d love to see you again. Here’s my schedule for the next few weeks. Hugs, Darrin.


He looked at what he wrote, took out the hugs, and clicked ‘send’.
