Calvin Maxwell likes older men, and Turner Marsh is definitely the type of man he’s very much into. Growing up with only his mother by his side, Calvin can’t help but be attracted toward men who are much older than him. His father abandoned him and his mother when he was only four years old, choosing to marry someone new, have kids with her, and refuse any contact with him whatsoever. It’s not strange he has abandonment issues now as an adult. Turner has been single for nearly six years now. He was been dumped by his ex-boyfriend of almost twenty years because the man apparently needed someone fresh, someone more exciting. In other words, anyone but him. The first time they meet, Turner is instantly attracted to Calvin and, fortunately, Calvin likes him, too. Then Turner gets the invitation to attend his ex-boyfriend’s wedding. He brings Calvin along, but doesn’t expect his ex-boyfriend to proposition his new boyfriend. Emotions run high, threatening their new relationship. Can it survive?

Never Left Behind

“Turner is amazing,” Calvin said, and all of his friends’ faces instantly displayed a myriad of delighted expressions. “As you know, all of the food we got to eat for breakfast earlier today were paid for by him. He refused to let me reimburse him. Not a single cent. He had also insisted on carrying most of the things I bought yesterday at the Food Fair while we were looking around at all of the stalls. The date was really comforting and nice. We also had lunch together before he had to return to the restaurant. He had a business to run, and I understood professional obligations were unavoidable sometimes.”


“Are you going on another date with him?”


Calvin chuckled at David. “Don’t look so excited. He’s my date, not yours, but to answer your question, yes, I am. Later tonight.”


“Please tell me you’re wearing a pair of clean underwear,” Joshua interjected.


Calvin winked at Joshua. “Not that it’s any of your business, but I am. Turner and I may not even go that far, though.”
