Growing up is hard enough, but it’s worse as a pacifist whose country is at war. Jim and Brian are neighbors, best friends, and high school graduates heading for college. In 1970 the Vietnam War raged, and Brian and Jim, both pacifists, worry about being drafted. To make matters worse, both men are gay and far from out. When Brian finally admits his feelings for his friend, he’s surprised and pleased Jim feels the same. Brian’s father teaches jujitsu, and the two men learn the ancient art, though neither believes in fighting. They struggle to overcome their pacifist tendencies amid racial tension and homophobia that threatens to tear their lives -- and their love -- apart. Can Brian and Jim turn fear into courage and learn to defend themselves, and each other, to create a life of love?

Fear and Courage

Brian put a hand on the back of Jim’s head. “Do it.”


Jim’s lips touched the dick and he tasted Brian’s precum. Not bad. Finally, he took the cock into his mouth a few inches and it seemed to fit so nicely. Strangely, the cock tasted familiar and right, despite it being the first dick he’d sucked. It sure as hell felt wonderful. He started sucking the dick for all he was worth. Brian ran his fingers through Jim’s hair, and each time Jim lifted his head, Brian pushed it down. Jim liked it.


He happily devoured at least three-quarters of Brian’s cock. Damn, the guy had at least eight inches.The sheer pleasure of sucking a dick vanquished any worries of him being gay. Brian moaned and groaned, and it took only a few minutes for him to come, and it didn’t bother Jim. Keeping Brian’s dick in his mouth, he enjoyed the salty, yet enjoyable taste of the cum. Then Jim pulled back and swallowed. He didn’t gag; he didn’t puke. Instead, he licked up every drop.
