Theodore Bondi is a junior in college and unabashedly gay. He has it all: smoky bedroom eyes; heavy brooding eyebrows; thick, unkempt hair; twink-ish body. So why is he still a virgin? His BFF Wendy is determined to see his cherry popped before Christmas, while his quirky grandmother keeps telling him to follow his heart. Stuck in the middle, Theo sets his eyes on Dale, the captain of the mens’ water polo team. The stories of Dale’s aggressive prowess in bed make it hard for Theo to sleep at night. Luckily, his shifts as a lifeguard at the pool just happen to coincide with Dale’s water polo practices ... Theo finds it far more difficult to make a move on Dale than to fantasize about him. Additionally, he has to contend with Scott, his close (and very cute!) friend who is clearly head-over-heels for him. Would it be better to settle for Scott? They already shared so many things, so why not take their friendship that one last step? No one ever says love is easy, and with a hard deadline to have sex, the pressure is on. Will Theo rise to the occasion?

Seeking Boy, Finding Love

I realized I had no energy to be mad at her this morning, so let loose the smile that had been tugging at my mouth.


Mindy squealed anew, pulling me in for a hug.


“Ouch—coffee,” I said as I felt the sear of hot liquid leak through my jeans.


“Sorry, sorry, sorry.” She danced back a pace, then her shoulders slumped. “I really amsorry, Theo. I mean, about doing you-know-what with you-know-who. That was a real bitch move on my part.”


“It’s okay. Not like I was going out with him—I’d pretty much written him off anyways.” I took another sip. “It’s not like I had any legitimate hold on him, so in that sense, you don’t even have to apologize, I guess.”


“Fine, I take it back,” she said with a wide grin, lunging forward for another hug. I leaned back, holding my cup away from my body. She settled for taking my other arm and dragging me back to the lecture hall.
