The Man Club. It’s the electric place where gay gents pick up one-night stands, hot male dancers work for big tips, and fresh bachelorettes have their steamy, pre-marital parties. Running The Man Club is a crazy job for middle-aged Gyles Beare. Between hiring and firing dancers, keeping wait staff in line, and paying the bills, Gyles tries to have a love life, but it isn’t easy. Not at all. Enter Car Tate. Car lives with Gyles, and has been a solid tenant for the last few months. Handsome. Charming. A good head on his shoulders. Car sometimes works at the club to help Gyles out. He always has Gyles’s back. Lately, though, Car’s been over-the-top nice to Gyles. The sweet and romantic things Car’s been doing for Gyes are oddly pleasant. What’s going on? Is Car in love with Gyles? Is it time for Gyles to confront his hidden feelings and land the man of his dreams?

The Man Club

Rocco doesn’t talk about his life outside the club. If he does, I don’t know the details about it. I do hear whispers among the other dancers of his sometimes doings: selling drugs and some high-end hustling. I hear some of the dancers talk about the coke Rocco sells. I also hear that some of the dancers usethe coke Rocco sells. It’s not a problem right now at the club, actions that I haven’t personally witnessed, and I hope that aren’t happening, but it’s something I have to deal with, right now. The dancers need protection. The club needs to stay drug-free. If Rocco’s a bad egg, I have to get rid of him, even if he is a great dancer.
