Jesse hates everything about Sim, from his lack of theater experience, to his obsession with LGBTQ politics, to his infatuation with, of all things, Hula hoops. Well, he doesn't hate everything. He doesn't mind Sim's eyes, or hair, or his surprising ability to be cool in a crisis. But Jesse is graduating in just a few months, and if there's one thing he does not have time for, it's a relationship. Sim knows exactly what he likes: civil rights, the circus, and sex. And he knows what he likes about Jesse. In the control booth, Jesse is exactly Sim's type—a natural leader, collected and confident. But outside the booth, he seems reclusive, acerbic and uptight—hardly Sim's type at all. Is a relationship with Jesse a real possibility, just a fantasy, or a hopelessly lost cause? When Sim offers to teach Jesse how to hula hoop as a way to relax and loosen up, the lessons ease the two men into an unexpected shared world of sex, kink, friendship, and eventually love.

    If he has to first suffer through playing chauffeur to some pain in the ass foreign cop visiting New York on a special fact-finding detail then so be it. But what Ray gets is a pleasant and arousing surprise when Inspector Miki Nabeshima from Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department shows up and skillfully escorts him into a world like none he's ever known, a world Ray never thought much about, but once he's ushered in, he knows he'll never be able to turn back. Special Content Alert: M/M, BDSM Excerpt: "Would it surprise you to know that Nicholas is usually the dominant partner in every way in their relationship?" Ray turned to face the mirror. Nick was pleading for Marsh to take it up a notch and make him bleed. "Yeah, it would surprise me." Miki stepped in closer behind him, so close he could feel the other man's breath tickle the nape of his neck. "Being a dominant, a true dominant, is hard work. Despite what that fool earlier might think it isn't at all about the Master getting his jollies by exerting his authority; it's about using that power, that dominant nature, to push your submissive to explore himself and above all it's about looking out for the sub's welfare and safety." Miki stepped closer still . . . so close his shoulder brushed Ray's. Silence fell once more and Ray kept watching the scene in the other room. Marsh did indeed draw blood at various points on Nick's body, but if you could judge by Nick's reaction, it sure as hell wasn't unpleasant. His cock thrust out, constricted by the ties of his harness, and pre-cum leaked from the tip. Marsh set the whip aside and came forward to lick tenderly at the small wounds. He freed Nick from the restraints then ordered him to a gymnastics-type horse across the room. Nick did as he was told and bent over the mount, his legs spread wide, and humped the leather-covered horse until Marsh told him to stop. Marsh approached him, slathering clear lube on his own rigid cock before coating the crack of Nick's ass then pushing some of the lube into the man's puckered hole. Nick moaned and held onto the horse in a white-knuckled grip as Marsh inserted his fingers. Nabeshima exhaled a slow breath that sent the blood surging through Ray's veins. "Being in control all the time can become tiresome, and on occasion some Doms like to experience life from the other side. It can be quite exhilarating and freeing to trust enough to give oneself over to another, to fully let go and give into your deepest wants and needs. Of course, the man chosen to dominate has to be strong enough, secure enough within himself, to do that trust justice." Holy. Fuck. Was he dreaming? Was Nabeshima asking him to take charge? "Shit." His instincts, developed from years on street patrol, gave him an insight into the meanings hidden behind public words and actions and he knew sure as shit that you didn't just come to trust someone straight out of the gate. Hell, back in the day, he'd been a rookie under the watchful eye of Vinnie Magera, and a good three years passed before Vinnie truly trusted him as a cop on equal footing. Sure, this wasn't necessarily life-or-death split-second-decision shit, but still. It made no sense. Especially if Nabeshima was a seasoned cop. Nabeshima sighed. "You doubt your strength, Raymond. That's a pity." Ray turned. "What I doubt are your motives."
