Three times burned, Br’er Harris swears off efforts to find love. He still has needs, though, which he satisfies by becoming a paid escort. Widower Ray Cunningham wants to explore the feelings of attraction to men he’s had most of his life but has kept hidden for fear of rejection from his ultra-conservative family. Ray doesn’t want a relationship with a man; he just wants to satisfy his urges with no-strings hook-ups. And the easiest way to achieve this is to hire an escort. Ray’s first encounter is with Br’er, and they’re instantly and powerfully drawn to each other. The attraction is so powerful and disturbing, each privately vows to never see the other again. However, their feelings will not be denied. Br’er accepts a second meeting, which leads to a third, then a fourth. Despite his previous history with relationships, Br’er knows Ray is the one for him. Unfortunately, Ray’s fear of being outed to his family keeps him from being able to offer more than clandestine meetings in out of town hotel rooms. Br’er says it’s enough, but Ray knows he deserves better. Ray is faced with a decision. Can he let Br’er go to find the love he deserves, or will he be able to throw open the closet door and live openly with the man he’s hardwired to love?

Hardwired for Love

Ray pulled Br’er back up so he lay stretched out on Ray’s torso. Ray’s legs were spread. Br’er’s were between them. Their cocks rubbed against one another, their balls pressed tightly together. Ray kissed Br’er, hoping he was communicating the love he had for this man, hoping it was enough to make up for their situation, and his inability to do anything to change it.


Br’er rolled over on his back, pulling Ray with him so Ray was on top. “Fuck me,” Br’er pleaded. He raised his legs.


Ray spit on his fingers and worked them into Br’er. Then Ray covered his cock with saliva and pressed against Br’er’s hole. Br’er wrapped his legs around Ray as Ray slipped deeper inside him. Ray lay down on top of Br’er. He took Br’er’s head in his hands and kissed him as he pushed his cock into Br’er’s body. Br’er wrapped his arms tightly around his lover.
