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

“I had to replace all the glass, and one of the legs needed a repair to keep it steady, but it was a small price to pay.” His hand dropped to slide down the hinges. “Rev thinks I’m ridiculous, but I like thinking about all the stories that each thing has. All the moments they’ve been witness to. I find it very…grounding.”


Gage couldn’t take his eyes from Christopher’s fingers. He stared at them, wishing Christopher would touch him the way he touched the wood. “I don’t think it’s ridiculous. I think it’s all very interesting. I like hearing what you know.”


Christopher stood close enough for his low chuckle to vibrate through Gage’s flesh. “That’s probably why I like you so much. You don’t make me feel like that teacher from Ferris Bueller who just drones on and on and on.”
