Antique dealer Christopher Gleason isn't looking for love. He isn't even looking for a one-night stand. But when a young man with an innocent smile offers to buy him a drink one night, he accepts. He's even tempted to take it further, until he learns the innocence isn't an act. Though he can't deny his attraction, or the fact that he likes the young man quite a bit, Christopher puts him off. He'd rather be friends than risk hurting him.<br><br>Gage Kimball fled Salt Lake City for Los Angeles with his guitars, what little money he had, and no friends. Raised in a devout Mormon family within a tightly knit community, he's never had the chance to be himself or explore his sexuality. Until now. Christopher supplies the emotional support Gage needs, but Gage wants more than friendship. Even at the risk of everything he has left.

All That You Do

He could still keep that promise, though.


He had Gage’s number only because Gage had handed it out to several people that night at the Red Fin. Gage had scribbled it out on napkins for most people, but Christopher didn’t want a scrap of paper he’d lose. He’d handed his phone over and asked Gage to program it in. Their fingers had brushed when Gage passed the phone back, and for a moment, Christopher remembered holding that hand as they walked back to Gage’s apartment.


His erection hadn’t gone away until he’d watched Gage walk away with Bodie. Then, he’d been too focused on the fear of Bodie doing something to hurt Gage. Christopher had kept Gage’s inexperience to himself. Gage needed to stand on his own. Besides, Bodie might have gone after him even harder if he found out Gage was a virgin.


Shaking his head, Christopher scrolled through his contacts until he found Gage’s name. It wasn’t any of his business what had happened between them.
