Billy thinks Johnson's the hottest ticket he's seen since he moved to California from Texas, and after a good meal and some good fun, he takes Johnson home. They both find out they're getting more than they bargained for. Can Johnson and Billy figure out why they feel so connected?

Sparks

2008

Billy and Johnson are back in this second installment of Bruised. They're exploring their relationship in every way, really enjoying each other, in and out of bed. They're spending so much time together, in fact, that they start to wonder why they're living in separate places. When Billy's work keeps him away for days at a time, things start to get a little tense. The boys fight like they love, and they're missing each other too much to believe what they have is a casual thing. Can they find a way to make their lives mesh, or will they start to grow apart too soon after they come together?

A little vacation, a little bruising, they all go a long way to helping Billy relax. Can Johnson make it all better when Billy's boss gives Billy an ultimatum that might tear them apart?

Often referred to as "Space Cowboy" and "Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the moniker of "Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting, organizing his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring on a small secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While collecting vast amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles away the hours between dropping the f-bomb and persuing the kama sutra by channeling the long lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the soundtrack to "Chicago." A long-time writer of complicated haiku, currently Sean is attempting to learn the advanced arts of plate spinning and soap carving sex toys. Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories, thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.
