Josh, a lonely trapeze artist, thinks he’s cursed. It’s an old family superstition. He can’t have sex on a day he flies or he’ll fall. Maybe that’s why he’s never had a steady boyfriend, though sometimes he dreams of one. In his show, a strange melody plays in the background. It follows him and surfaces from time to time on the street. When Josh’s uncle hears about the music, he tells his nephew to bring the old ring, passed down from generations since the time of the curse. Steve is a realtor who always reaches his goals, in sales or otherwise, and he moonlights as a dancer in an all-male review on The Strip. All his friends his age are married, and his best friend’s wife Genie wants to see him hitched, too. He’s a little bit challenged in the relationship department, though. He has some growing up to do, or maybe it’s his problem in bed, where he’s somewhat one-sided. Steve and Josh meet one crazy night when Josh breaks all the rules used to protect him from the curse. After that, he runs. If it wasn’t for Genie’s matchmaking, Josh and Steve might never see each other again. Though not yet ready for a boyfriend, Josh does need a realtor. What a good way for he and Steve to get to know each other, while Josh works up the courage to tell Steve about the curse. Still unaware of Josh’s problem, Steve falls in love with him. When Steve finds out about the curse thing, it’s a big disappointment, but he wants Josh anyway. There’s no doubt Josh is worth the wait. Maybe the curse isn’t real after all. Can lonely Josh overcome his fear of it? Can horndog Steve handle a curse? Is the answer in the ancient ring?

The Curse of Flight

“I got carried away.” He made a gentle thrust. “Okay?”


Josh’s breath escaped his throat with a moan. “Good now. It happened so fast. When I tried to get your attention, it was like I wasn’t there.”


“It was like: Get out of the way! I’m coming in.”


“Don’t say that.” Steve kissed his neck and pushed further.


“And then when I tried to talk to you, it was like: Shut up. I’m busy.”


Steve licked his neck. “I’m sorry. I was crazy, desperate. I don’t like feeling that way. This is better.” Steve probed deep inside him.


“I can feel your balls against my ass. I want you to experience this with me like I have with you.” Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Steve’s shoulder behind his. Arm wrapped around his chest.


“Talk tomorrow. Okay?” Steve thrusted.
