I don’t know how to explain it—I just woke up one day and there he was. And he became my everything.All it took was one wrong choice, a decision made in haste, to destroy Chris's future.
It's a mistake that he can't take back or make right, one that cost another person their life. Adrift, alone, and uncertain of his future, Chris moves to New York. He quickly learns that the bright lights of the big city don’t offer the absolution he seeks. A fortuitous encounter moves him in the right direction. But is he willing to take the chance he’s offered to make a fresh start?
After catching his boyfriend cheating, again, Linc is convinced that he'll never find love.
Linc has always been honest about who he is and what he prefers. He's a bisexual gay porn star that will do just about anything with anyone, on camera that is, so he can write his own ticket in a versatility-charged industry. It’s not his sexuality that interferes with his personal life; it’s his inability to trust.
Can the possibility of a happy ever after prove to be enough of a reason for these two men to let their guard down and take a second chance on love?
NOTE This story was previously published as Gay for Pay, All Cocks Stories book 1. It has been edited and reworked with a lot of new content added to the story.
MY REVIEW
When Chris makes a stupid, split-second decision that ruins his (and many others') life, he's never the same after. Now years later, he's still suffering the affects of his decision, to the point of being unemployable and living on his best friend's couch. It's these dire straits that have him seriously considering gay for pay porn, as he's heard he can make good money performing in that industry. He's always been completely straight, though, so figuring out how to perform with someone (a guy or guys) to whom he isn't attracted, is going to take all his mental fortitude. He just never imagined that he'd find love and family among the men of All Cocks porn company.
Linc isn't sure what to make of the newest, unfortunately very straight, model at his company other than that he's gorgeous, and buffed, and holding a hell of a lot of pain in his beautiful eyes. As the two become friends, other feelings are developing, a chemistry, and Chris is out of his depth with feelings and attraction to a man. Both men are unsure of opening themselves up to the possibility of being hurt - Chris because of his past tragedy, and Linc because he's so hurt by his ex's cheating. And can they maintain a relationship in the backdrop of adult entertainment, a relationship between a bisexual man and a straight man?
I have to say that Gay for Pay is not what I was expecting, in a very good way. It's not all sex, sex, sex, as I expected from a story about two porn performers, it's much more focused on the developing relationship between the two leads. Not that there aren't sexy scenes, because there are, they're just far fewer than I had expected, and more intimate. I like the way their relationship developed, the way Chris came to terms with his changing sexuality, in a sweet, realistic way. All in all, a sweet, surprising story and I can't wait for the next one.
