During a golf tournament in Virginia, American golfer Reggie Weston meets Russell Lee, the British former world champion in the sport. The two men hit it off when Russell takes Reggie under his wing, teaching him the tricks of the game. As their friendship deepens, Reggie finds himself falling in love with the Englishman, though he knows Russell doesn’t feel the same. He’s painfully aware of the fact that Russell isn’t gay. But there’s more to Russell than meets the eye. He’s a troubled soul, plagued by monsters in his head telling him who he should be. He’s spent most of his life hiding his sexuality from the world so he won’t disappoint his homophobic mother. Is seven days enough time for Russell to break through the years of hurt and accept the new direction fate has in store for him and Reggie?

Seven Days

He kept his eyes open and his arms up, overwhelmed by a tornado of emotions and amazement, until he felt Russell’s tongue licking his lips and pressing on them, asking for permission to enter. He grabbed at Russell, letting himself go, almost as if Russell was an anchor and he a boat at risk of going adrift.


They ended up against the door as Reggie greedily answered the kiss, his hands caressing Russell’s back. He could feel the muscles under Russell’s polo shirt. He dared—a hand slipped under the shirt, finding soft skin.


God, it was an incredible emotion, an ecstasy.


Russell’s tongue was making love with his mouth, exploring it, dancing with his. A languid pleasure moan escaped him as he thought about what that tongue could do somewhere else. He loudly moaned Russell’s name, arching his back and rubbing his pelvis again the Englishman’s. He found Russell just as excited as he was himself.
