Gay for Pay was originally published in 2015. Flash forward nearly 3 years later and I have learned so much, become more comfortable as a writer and I'm writing better stories for my readers. So, my editor and I decided to go back to the book that started it all. It was the first book we worked on together and it was the first book in the now wildly popular All Cocks stories. I guess you could say we've come full circle.
The book is cleaner now, the overall flow of the story crisper and there is some additional content. So you definitely want to grab a copy! The book will continue to be sold for 99 cents on Amazon (also available in the All Cocks volume 1 box set - both files have been updated) and free from all other eBook online retailers. Buy links are below as well as an excerpt for your viewing pleasure.

Excerpt from Gay for Pay
“So
that’s why you don’t like the guy, and here I thought it was his charming
personality.” Chris was trying to lighten the mood, but he wasn’t certain it’d
worked since Linc didn’t respond. They walked in relative silence for a while
and Chris was enjoying the scenery but also starting to wonder how far out
along the water they were going to walk. He stopped and turned back to look and
see how far the house was, shocked when it looked tiny in the distance.
He
spun around, intent on asking Linc if they could start heading back to the
house, running right into a wall. Well, not a wall really, but Linc’s toned
chest sure felt like one when Chris barreled into him. He reached up and
gripped Chris’s arms to stop him from falling over. Chris smiled and moved to
pull back, but Linc held him in place, their bodies just inches apart.
He
opened his mouth to tell Linc to release him, but he couldn’t form the words. Chris
shook his head, swallowing, trying to add a little moisture to his suddenly dry
mouth. When Linc’s tongue darted out, running over his bottom lip, Chris
inhaled a sharp breath and tried to break free of Linc’s hold once more, to no
avail. If anything, Chris thought his grip tightened. “Can I kiss you?” Linc
whispered, his body already slowly moving closer to Chris.
Jesus, Mary, and
Joseph.
He wanted Linc to kiss him, and it scared him shitless. In his head he was
saying no; he was shaking his head
vigorously, no! But his body had a
mind of its own. He could feel his head nodding and he closed his eyes as
Linc’s warm, wet lips touched his. The kiss was chaste. Linc didn’t press
further than a simple peck on the mouth, though lingering for a long time. When
Linc pulled away there was a low moan, and Chris’s knees almost gave out when
he realized he was the one groaning.
He
wanted so much right then. He wanted Linc to kiss him again. He wanted to turn
and run away and never look back. Wasn’t this what he’d kept himself up half
the night over, his memories of Amanda and the thought of betraying her with
anyone else? It no longer mattered to Chris that the person he was thinking of being
with was another man. The war raging in his mind didn’t stop Chris from reacting,
wanting more. He leaned into Linc’s warmth for another kiss. This time Linc
swept his tongue across Chris’s bottom lip, and when Chris moaned again, Linc
took it as an open invitation and pressed his tongue into Chris’s mouth.
Chris’s
inner monologue that was on constant repeat as of late sounded off in his
fogged brain again. Holy fucking Christ.
He could count the number of lovers he’d had in his short life on both hands,
but not a damn one of them had ever kissed him the way Linc was kissing him
right now. Not even Amanda. Amanda. The
thought slammed into Chris’s chest like a boulder and he jerked back. “What’s
wrong?” Linc asked, moving toward him, but Chris started walking backward,
retreating.
“Nothing,
it’s not you, I just…I just can’t.” He turned and ran then, ran all the way
back to the house, up the stairs and into his room, slamming the door and
locking it behind him.
Within
minutes, Linc was at the door knocking and calling out for him. Chris didn’t
answer him though, ignoring Linc’s pleas to open the door. “Please, Chris, talk
to me.” His voice crawled through the tiny crevice at the bottom, reaching up
and slapping Chris across the face. Linc sounded hurt, wounded. Still, Chris
didn’t respond, nor did he open the door. Linc finally left him to his misery
and Chris crawled into the bed, staring at the ceiling until he fell asleep.
