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

The door burst open yet again. A man in a business suit froze as he caught sight of us.


“What the hell? This is the men’s bathroom—can’t you fairies do this elsewhere?”


Scott wheeled on him, getting right in his face. “This room is occupied, bitch. You need to pee? Go to the ladies room, or cross your fucking legs!”


The man recoiled at Scott’s ferocity, stepping back. He shook his head, turned on his heels, and retreated.


I couldn’t help but grin as Scott looked at me, his face still afire. He burst into a giggle, too. “Come on, Theo. Let’s get you cleaned up and head back before Min comes in here next. You gonna be okay, at least for supper?”


“Yeah,” I said. And I would be. Scott had seen to that, with his unquestioning support. I don’t deserve a friend like him.
