Happy Endings Briefs

Have you ever seen a photograph and wondered about the story behind it? A young man staring at the ocean. Two friends cuddled up on an overstuffed chair. A handsome man caught wearing nothing but a towel. The submissive daring his Dom into action. A gangly demonic youth with his head bowed down. A temptation offering himself to you as you look down at him standing there in the alley below you. They all have something to say, and this collection of short stories tells their tales.

MY BALCONY — Jasper has known Ryan for the ten days of his vacation. Today, Ryan goes home, and it’s breaking Jasper’s heart to have to let his much younger lover leave. Can he ask him to stay?

BEST HANGOVER – Jeff had too much to drink, came out to his friends, and… Wound up sleeping with his best friend Aaron? Wait a minute. As much as he’s dreamt of this happening, how did this happen and what’s he supposed to do now?

THE LUCKY ONES — I come home to find you fresh from a shower, still toweling off. We don’t need words as we come together, making love like the lucky ones that we are, but we say them every chance we get just the same.

BLOW MY SNOW — Garland Stewart detests shoveling snow. He’d really do just about anything else to get out of the back-breaking, frigid chore. Surprisingly, that includes giving Carter Crowe a blowjob on the porch in exchange for a snow-free walkway. Who knew he could be so scandalous?

JENNER’S NEEDS — Viktor can’t forget the hate crime that nearly killed his boy Jenner. He can’t forget and he can’t go back to being the master who gives his boy pain. Tonight, Jenner’s act of rebellion to get what he needs is Viktor’s last chance to prove himself and save their relationship.

BALTASSAR’S DARK SIDE – Baltassar is an angel tasked with keeping demons in line amongst the humans of his city. When he happens upon a young demon who looks like he could use some assistance… Well, it’s Baltassar’s duty to give the little demon everything he can and guide him in the right direction. The direction that leads to Baltassar’s bed anyway.

PEN’S JUDGEMENT — A Medieval man discovers he likes Medieval men and, before he can come to terms with that, he finds himself spirited away to a place of blank whiteness. Stark blackness. No, white. Black again. Could this be how the powers that be judge his immortal soul?

HE’S DOWN THERE AGAIN — There’s a guy in the alley below John’s fire escape. He’s been there before but, this time… Well, he’s showing off the anaconda he’s got between his legs and making it pretty darn clear he’d like to come up and visit John. A little peer pressure from a friend on the phone has John hollering his apartment number down to the guy, buzzing him in, and discovering this could be a lot more than just an afternoon’s delight.
