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?

RJ bent down on one knee and looked up. Pad covered his mouth, and then tears streamed.


“Padrick McLaughlin, pain in my ass, laugh of my life, the person who makes me smile,” RJ choked out. “I can’t imagine life without you. You’ve made me a better person and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” His voice trembling, he held up a ring with a rainbow of colored gemstones. “Will you marry me?”


Pad’s tears covered his fingers, and he nodded.


Jack screamed. “I don’t hear him saying anything.”


RJ stood, his face near to Pad’s, and moved closer. RJ kissed Pad, their lips barely touching, as RJ embraced him. “I love you so much, Pad.”


“I love you too.” Pad whispered, wiping the tears.


RJ heard the clapping, whistling, and hollering.


“Whew!” RJ snorted. “I’m glad you said, ‘Yes.’”


Ann came closer with a violet orchid, which RJ took from her. “Do you remember the purple orchids we would see in Thailand?”
