Daniel finds more than he ever expected while helping a photographer friend with a last minute calendar shoot. When he meets Jamie, every assumption he ever made about himself is busted! Daniel's straight. His legion of ex-girlfriends would testify to the hunky personal trainer being fiercely hetero, so why does the idea of kissing Jamie feel so absolutely right? This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love’s Landscapes" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story. Dear Author, C’mon, he said. Please? It’s not as if it’s hard work. You know I’d always do it for you if you needed my help. Please? I really need an assistant. So now here I am. Trussed up… on display. All those things I said I’d never do. Well, at least what I always told myself I would never do. I just liked looking at this kind of thing. I didn’t really want to participate… Did I? Well if that’s the case, why am I more turned on than I’ve ever been in my life? And why do I feel as if I’ve finally come home? Especially with the way that super-sexy guy is looking at me. Photo Description: A young man, naked from the waist up, is bound by handcuffs and chains. His face is hidden in shadow, but he looks relaxed and passive. Another man stands behind him, one hand on his chest, the other dipping into the waistband of his jeans. The lighting is harsh, against a dark background.

Dear Author, We have always been close, never quite what you see here. He is my best friend and I love him desperately. I find myself watching him work and I can never decide which I want more… Him to throw me down and ravish me or to do the same to him. I have been with my fair share of men and so has he, but we’ve never crossed that line. The problem may be that both of us are too hard headed to realize what has always been right in front of us. A passing touch or a lingering glance leaves me breathless. He makes me want forever, not just one night, I know he is meant to be mine for I have always been his. Photo Description: Two handsome young men, both naked from the waist up, are kissing passionately against a wooden fence. They both wear jeans and are visibly aroused. The man on the right is driving the kiss, and he holds the other man’s neck with a tender hand.

A one-night stand romantic short story There I am, freaking out on the late-night train when the power goes out. Did I mention it was stopped in a tunnel, and I’m afraid of the dark? I’m thirty seconds away from losing my mind when the gorgeous guy opposite—Anton—steps in to help. He usually rides the train with a blonde girl. I’m pretty sure he’s straight, but I’d love to be wrong. There are only three days until Christmas, when I’m supposed to be driving halfway across the country to see my sister and her family. I’d much rather stay here. Hooking up with Anton might be the best Christmas present ever.
