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, however, ask, “And making a clean break, you’re not having any problems with that?” After all, if this was all Gage had ever known, it was no wonder he felt like he was on vacation.


“It’s…it’s hard.” His voice broke a little on the last syllable, and he reached for his glass of water. Christopher waited while he took a long swallow and composed himself. “I miss my brothers. Zak is leaving for his mission in a few weeks, and I won’t get to tell him goodbye. Brett’s getting married in October and I can’t be there for that. My grandparents won’t even…I’m sorry. I’m probably bumming you out.”
