William "Wills" Matheson is a computer whiz, hired by Huntingdon right out of college. He's groomed for a position in the Washington Bureau of Intelligence and Security, a sister organization to Huntingdon. Eventually, he's promoted to senior special agent in the department of Interior Affairs, under the notorious Mark Vincent. Instructed by Trevor Wallace -- The Boss, and yes, that's in caps, of the WBIS -- to follow Vincent after his apartment is destroyed, the younger agent discovers why the man is considered the best when Vincent easily spots him. Rather than knocking him down as expected, Vincent orders Wills to accompany him to his friend's bedside in GW Hospital. There, Wills meets the rent boy known as Sweetcheeks and is instantly struck by the handsome redhead. Wills has never had a male lover before, but he's more than willing to give it a try. Gradually he begins to wonder if there could be a future for them together. Things look positive for them when Sweetcheeks confesses his own love, but Wills is a WBIS agent, and Sweetcheeks is a rent boy. Will their jobs come between them before they can explore their newfound love?

Is It You?

“Tough shit, because he’s going to.”


“Matheson, you can’t go in there! He isn’t alone!”


“Listen to me, Pretty Boy. I haven’t slept in almost two days. In the past twenty-four hours, I’ve been in three different time zones, six different airports, flown four different airlines and driven the rental car from hell. I get home to find out I’ve been broken up with over the tele-fucking-phone, and I no longer have a lover. Now, you’re Mr. Vincent’s friend, and he would hate it like hell if I hurt you. So I’m advising you, for both our sakes, to get the fuck out of my way, because if you don’t, I willgo through you!”


The door opened. “Wills?” Theo looked awful. His skin was pasty, his eyes were bloodshot, and I could smell the alcohol on him from where I stood. “What do you want?”


“I want to know why you’re throwing away what we had.”


“All we had was some hot, sweaty sex.”


“Don’t you tell me what I can or can’t believe, you cocksucker!”
