Colin Hunt, a vivacious and outspoken art student, is a comic-reading, anime-loving, all-around geek. What he lacks in size, he most definitely makes up for in personality. But things have been tough for him lately. A heavy workload. A showcase to prepare for his final. A sick mother to take care of. Ever the optimist, he's more interested in finding someone to have some fun with rather than finding anyone serious. For Dexter Erikson, life has been difficult ever since an accident left him in foster care and cost him part of his arm. After discovering music therapy, he found an outlet for his pain and the perfect way to express himself. Now, sporting tattoos and piercings, Dexter is the lead singer of a pretty kick-ass punk rock band and owns the stage like it's nobody's business. He’s also goofy and dorky, shy and bashful, with a bad habit of falling in love yet a horrible fear of commitment. So what happens when vivacious geek meets shy punk rocker? The first answer is a lot of sex. The second answer might bring both Colin and Dexter to places they never dreamed possible.

Because now came the part when Dexter started to freak the fuck out. He’d fallen fast. Fallen hard. And now Dexter felt about as powerful as a blank sheet of paper in one of Colin’s sketchbooks.


That’s what he’d let himself become to Colin. His. Blank and empty, waiting for Colin to fill him, to do something with him. And if Colin felt like turning the page, he’d turn it, and leave Dexter behind for another day. Worse, if he felt like ripping him out, crumpling him up, and tossing him into the garbage, that’d be it. There would be nothing Dexter could do about it.


He couldn’t let that happen. Not again.


“Nothing,” Dexter answered, sucking on the end of a cigarette, flicking it away, and then lighting another.
