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.

Rock and Roll Chose Me

“Yeah, well.” He kissed Colin’s cheek. “If you don’t watch I’ll never sing for you again, kid.”


Colin gasped, high-pitched and scandalized. He even threw his hand over his heart for added effect.


“I…” Fuck, he couldn’t even tease Colin with that threat when he gave him that look. “Okay, no.” He could tell Colin was about to do his usual victory dance. “But!” He lowered his voice so that only Colin could hear. “I will tell everyone what I do for you when you can’t sleep.”


Sing him to sleep. That’s what Dexter did for him when Colin had a restless night. When he couldn’t get his thoughts to quiet down or was plagued by one too many. Dexter sang him lullabies.


Pink touched Colin’s cheeks and, fuck yes, it may’ve been rare but Dexter loved it when he made him blush.


“Okay, okay.” Colin gave in with a bashful smirk. “You’ve convinced me. I’ll watch you. I promise.”
