His One and Only

They had considered going on a gay cruise, but Calvin had balked at that. He said it would be an excuse for every single gay man on the cruise to hit on them. And when Steve said he and Heather wanted to come along, too…well, that made the rest of the decision for them.


Drew had to admit he was somewhat concerned regarding the reaction they’d get from possible homophobes on the cruise, but ultimately it wasn’t enough to deter him from taking the mini-vacation with Mark.


“About time you got here,” Barnaby declared, fairly bouncing next to Nathan.


Drew noticed everyone had arrived before them looking casual and breezy, ready for the fun days ahead. Barnaby and Nathan, Calvin and Matt, Travis and Darrell, and…well, not everyone after all.
