Deon Jerome has it all—fame and fortune, thanks to his pro football career. The only problem is that his agent has booked him to do an advertisement for a big sponsor riding a horse and Deon is terrified of the beasts. When he can't get out of it, he turns to his secret lover Truck, a big animal vet, for help. It's not easy having a relationship with a deep in the closet football player and Truck is more than willing to have Deon around for the weekend so they can have some time together. Can he help Deon get over his fear of horses? And could that lead to overcoming other fears as well? This story is also available in the Horsing Around anthology.

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.
