Roane Wellman only intends to work one summer on railroad maintenance to pay for his next semester of college after his party-guy ways made his grandfather to stop supporting his schooling. In a summer of hard work, adventure, and danger, he matures and finds a new course for his life. Before the season ends, he knows he’s meant to be workin’ on the railroad as he fights to build a career and a partnership that just might last for the rest of his life.<br><br>Alden Prescott is a loner, content to operate his big crane and shrug off the added responsibilities of being a gang foreman. His current foreman, however, is a drunkard and so close to worthless that Alden ends up doing a lot of the functions he has tried to avoid. Although Alden’s strongly drawn to the handsome new summer hire, memories of a past tragedy make him afraid to pursue the relationship.<br><br>What will it take to convince Alden that Roane is not going to let him repeat past mistakes? Is their budding relationship heading for a train wreck, or is it the perfect connection to take them down life’s track together?

Workin' on the Railroad

Roane pulled back after a time and studied Alden intently. “What else do you like, besides blowjobs? I’m game to try anything you want to do.”


Alden paused a moment as if in thought. “Most anything, everything. Let’s just take our time and go with whatever seems to work, what feels good. Right now, I’m enjoying every second of getting to know each other. But if you were to turn over…”


“I can do that.” Roane flipped to lie on his stomach at Alden’s side.


Alden cupped one cheek, then the other, massaging the tightening muscles and tracing a finger down the crack. “You have a great ass. It was one of the first things I noticed when you turned away after we talked that evening you arrived. For about a quarter I’d have followed right behind you even then.”


Roane laughed. “Maybe you should’ve, but I guess we’d have shocked a few guys.”
