Two of W.S. Long’s best-selling gay romance stories are now available in a box set! Fall in love with Pad and RJ’s love story. Contains the stories: Ask and I’ll Tell: Raised by his aunt, after his mother died, Pad McLaughlin enlisted in the Air Force to see the world, and save money for college, but he didn’t expect to fall in love with his supervisor, RJ Davis, a handsome, dashing officer. Rather than return home right away after his tour of duty in Saudi Arabia, Pad gambles on love by joining RJ in Bangkok, despite the government’s policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” When Pad realizes RJ doesn’t love him, he returns home broken-hearted only to be distracted by Wayne, another hunky airman, who keeps secrets from Pad. When RJ finally realizes after Pad’s gone what Pad means to him, is he too late? Will Pad choose the officer or the airman? Set in 2008, this love story takes place before the end of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” when gay men who loved each other were forced to remain in the closet and deny themselves happiness. Splendidly Ever After: Seven years after they meet, and more than four years since RJ initially proposes, RJ and Pad are back. The wedding invitations have been sent again and the date is set. This time, both men are more committed than ever to each other and willing to make their relationship work. But old issues surface that cause conflict before their big day. Will RJ’s recent diagnosis of sexual addiction disorder tear them apart? Can they weather the growing disapproval from their families over same-sex marriage before they walk down the aisle? Will RJ and Pad finally tie the knot?

“So, Pad, you never talk about your family. Or at least I don’t remember.”


“Nothing to tell really. My dad left us when I was five. Don’t really remember him. I don’t know where he lives either. My Mom said they just exchanged paperwork and got divorced that way. My Mom? She worked as waitress until she passed when I was twelve.”


RJ noticed the change in his voice, the slight tremor, and leaned over. “Hey, you don’t have to talk about it.”


“No, I’m good. She died of cancer. My Aunt Madeleine—we all call her Maddy—her sister, took me in.”


“Is that why you’re going back to Tampa? Because of your aunt?”


Pad nodded. “Yup. MacDill Air Force Base is just a few miles away from her home. Short biking distance actually. Plus I’ve got pretty good friends there too.”


“Alright, I can watch you do laps again.”


RJ smiled. “Yeah, this time no need to pretend you’re checking me out.”
