Selling himself should have been straightforward. Step 1: Set the price. Step 2: Sleep with someone. Step 3: Get paid. Josh wasn't supposed to get a crush on the guy, particularly when the guy turned out to be none other than Coach Richard Moore—his hot, older, former teacher. With his life slowly unravelling around him, Josh is determined to put Coach out of his mind. Apart from anything else, his infatuation with the man is getting embarrassing. But when his phone rings and it's Coach on the other end inquiring about his services and asking to meet again, Josh finds himself unable to say no. *** Richard doesn't plan to see Josh again, and for very good reasons. There's the age difference thing, and the former student thing, and the thing where Richard doesn't do seconds. For the past year, it's been nothing but a string of one-night stands, one after another, and that's how he likes it. Simple. Uncomplicated. Josh could easily become complicated, and Richard doesn't need that in his life. Not again. Yet all it takes is one moment of weakness for Richard to forget all his misgivings and give Josh a call. He needs a distraction, and he doesn't want some random guy whose name he won't remember at the end of the night. He wants Josh. It's just sex. It doesn't have to be complicated. Kept is a 21,000 words M/M novella featuring adult content, an age gap relationship and hurt/comfort elements. It is part 2 of the Bought series and best read in order.
