Marry Me Page 23
“Great. Uh…Brianna found something on the ‘net.”
“Oh?” Braxton headed towards downtown LA. “About the
premiere?”
“You could say that. I don’t want to spoil her fun. See you
when you get here.”
“Okay.” Braxton was about to hang up when he heard, “Love
you, Mr Todd.”
He grinned happily. “Love you too.” He disconnected the call
and made a few more as he headed to work.

Fabian tapped keys on his computer keyboard, answering the
never-ending demands of the clients they worked for. He heard
Brianna’s happy greeting to Braxton and stood, tucking in his
shirt and sprinting to see his man.
“Hey, babe.” Braxton kissed Fabian lightly. “Okay? What’s
on the ‘net?”
Fabian nodded for Brianna to show him.
She opened a page she had obviously saved and stood behind
Braxton as he viewed it.
There, on one of the daily gossip rags front cover, was a
photo of Braxton kneeling in front of Fabian, popping the
question. In huge block letters it read, ‘ Marry Me! ’ with a caption underneath that read, ‘ PR Master Braxton Todd finally
off the market? Has hell frozen over?’
Fabian and Brianna exchanged cheeky glances.
Braxton took a moment to digest it, then cracked up with
laughter.
“So?” Brianna asked. “It’s true?”
“Yeah. It is.” Braxton curled one arm around Fabian and
pulled him close.
“Pay up.” Fabian held out his hand to Brianna.
She dug through her purse and put a five dollar bill into his
hand. “Damn! I thought it was pure bullshit.”
“Told ya!” Fabian waved the cash at her playfully. He then
nuzzled Braxton sensually. “I’m moving in.”
“Unreal!” Brianna cheered. “Finally! Braxton Todd has a
wife!”
“A husband.” Braxton corrected, kissing Fabian’s cheek.
“So?” she asked, “Confirm the tabloid’s suspicion? I got your
okay?”
“You got my okay.” Braxton looked at Fabian. “Does she
have your okay, Mr Rhys?”
“Yup.” Fabian’s blue eyes shone.
“Son of a bitch!” Brianna began tapping keys like a mad
woman. “I’m making a formal press release. Any wedding
date?”
“No. Not yet.” Fabian ran his hand down Braxton’s tie.
“We’re going to live together first.”
“I love it!” Brianna gestured to the cardboard tray for
Braxton, with his coffee and yogurt in it.
Braxton released Fabian and picked the coffee up to sip.
“Yeah. Hell froze over. It must have.”
“Back to work.” Fabian threw a kiss at Braxton and returned
to his office, feeling as if his feet weren’t touching the ground.
He dropped in his chair and daydreamed, trying to get back into
focus.
~
After Fabian walked off Brianna entered Braxton’s office and
whispered, “You sure?”
“I must be. I just turned down a straight, twenty-something
jock handed to me on a sterling platter.” Braxton picked up his
yogurt, starving from the workout.
“I am stunned. Seriously.”
“Why? You were pushing us together since he was hired.”
“Yeah, but…” She shook her head. “You’re the consummate
bachelor.”
“Not anymore. I’m off the market, thank fuck. Get back to
work, Ms Cambridge.”
“Yes, sir, Mr Todd!” She laughed.
Braxton sat down to finish the yogurt. While he did he read a
few emails and then put his name into the search engine to see
the article Brianna had found online.
While he enjoyed the breakfast, he read, ‘ The man everyone
wanted but no one could get out for a second date, proposed to
his business partner at the red carpet premiere of the latest
LGBT independent film festival. So all you boys and girls out
there who had sights on being the future Mrs Todd? You missed
the boat. He’s getting hitched! ’
Braxton chuckled and typed an instant message to Fabian.
‘ Love you.’
‘ Love you too.’
Braxton finished the yogurt, tossed the cup and got back to
work, a big grin on his face.

BOYS-
BOYS WHO LOVE BOYS WHO LOVE GIRLS
Twenty-five year old Jag Huntington loved straight men. He
couldn’t help it. Something about their macho-allure intrigued
him. But Jag had never even managed to have a straight man as a
friend.
His best friend Tyson Hopper, and Tyson’s boyfriend
Howard Steinman invite Jag out for a night with the gay-boys
and Howard’s sister, Virginia.
When Virginia brings her straight boyfriend, Carson Phelps,
Jag’s attraction to the thirty year old stud was instant. But there was not mutual attraction, not even curiosity.
It wasn’t until Virginia insinuated that Jag and Carson should
be friends, ‘close’ friends, that Jag began to wonder if he had a
chance.
Carson liked hanging with gay men. They were fun. His
straight buddies didn’t get into dancing, music, or anything he
really wanted to do. The idea of having a great gay friend
appealed to Carson. Self-assured, Carson didn’t flinch at the racy
conversation nor sexual overtones of his gay companions’
conversation. He liked it.
There was something which intrigued both men into crossing
the line of friendship into a physical relationship, but for Jag, it was devoid of any emotional attachment, which he craved from
Carson.
Would Jag and Carson’s friendship ever evolve into anything
more than a couple of friends; one gay and one straight?
Or was there really something extra special about a boy who
loves boys, who loves girls?
BAND OF BROTHERS
Two young men in their early twenties, Austin Shelby and
Henry ‘Woody’ Woodcliff, had somehow lost their way. Living
in Albuquerque, petty thieves, neither man had family or hope of
becoming anything more than inmates in the county jail.
Orlando Ancho had other plans. Working in his family
restaurant, going to med-school, Orlando meets the two young
men one night when they come to the restaurant for a meal.
Immediately Orlando suspects they are living on the street, and
may dine and dash. But what Orlando doesn’t expect, is to find a
common bond with these men.
Being deep in the closet, living with a brother who was a
harsh critic of Orlando, and extremely homophobic, Orlando had
no intention of coming out. Hiding from intimacy, Orlando led a
lonely life. When Austin and Woody, exchange a ‘blood’ vow
with him one night, Orlando admits his sexual attraction to the
fair-haired Austin, craving his love and touch.
But jealousy and violence becomes inevitable, and disaster
strikes one of the trio.
What had begun as a friendship between three very different
men, turns into a journey for this Band of Brothers; blood
brothers…who are put to the ultimate test of trust and loyalty.
ROUGH RIDE
In this sequel to Cowboy Blues, we find out about the sexy
but proud gay rodeo star, Dean Houston. Though Dean came
across as a larger than life superstar, immersed in both gay porn
and one of the big players in the Tex-Ass Rodeo league, at
thirty-one, Dean is nearing the end of both his careers, and
struggling to accept the changes that are coming in his life; no
longer being the prime star of the rodeo and top dog of the gay
porn circuit.
And Dean was going to be handing his rough stock bull
riding crown over to the new stud in town; Clint Wolcott.
To everyone around him Clint looked like the next big
sensation of the gay rodeo scene, but his partner Cheyenne
Wheeler and close friends, Rob Grafton and Victor Sarita knew
his secret.
Will the end of the line for Dean be the beginning of a new
life with a potential new partner?
And will the beginning of Clint’s career and stardom end
with disaster?
Whichever way they boys get bucked, its going to be a Rough
Ride.
COWBOY BLUES
Gay cowboys? Gay rodeos?
Rainbow Rough Riders Rodeo, is a small, newly formed
group made up of a diverse selection of gay men who each have
their own reasons for wanting to compete in the rodeo challenges
and enjoy the fun of the celebration of the wild west.
Follow three couples; Ken Marsh, the forty-one year old
founder of the group, his forty-five year old country music singer
lover, Lyle Jackson; the two bearded cuddly bears who are the
perfect couple, Rob Grafton and Victor Sarita, and the youngest
of the bunch, Mike ‘Clint’ Wolcott and the object of his desire,
Cheyenne Wheeler.
Six men, three complicated relationships, and all the thrill and
hardship that goes with life on the road, moving town to town,
riding bareback and enjoying a good hard buck! And that doesn’t
even include the rodeo competitions!
Cowboys. The new macho sex symbols, or maybe not ‘new’,
maybe just the sexiest men around. But being a cowboy
sometimes is a hard road, and even Cowboys get the blues.
Midnight in London
Thirty-one year old Ted Mack, the high-school ‘geek’, was
on the cusp of developing the next mega social-network-for-one.
His group of techno-philes worked day and night to create a
unique computer network that would astonish the world.
Twenty-three year old Kevin Moore, Jeremy West’s straight
roommate from the novel ‘Teacher’s Pet’, has graduated college
with honors and is now working on his own creating websites.
His idol? Ted Mack.
When the two meet during an IT convention in London, the
connection between the handsome college jock and the geek is
electric. With the chiming of Big Ben signaling the midnight
hour in the background, Ted and Kevin kiss, altering their lives
from that moment on.
Can that one moment in time make a connection that will last
a lifetime? Or will their colliding worlds pull them apart?
Both Ted and Kevin knew their relationship would not be
&n
bsp; easy. And if it fell apart? They always had Midnight in London.
Happy Endings
Twenty-seven year old, Kelsey ‘Kellie’ Hamilton was caught
up in the economic housing disaster. Losing his home, his job,
and having to reinvent himself, Kellie went back to school for
his certificate in massage therapy and is hired by an elite spa in
West Hollywood. Though Kellie had experienced ‘happy
endings’ in the past while getting massages from older men, he
was going to abide by the rules and not get sexual with his
clients.
Montgomery ‘Monty’ Gresham, ex Navy SEAL plans to open
up a SEAL training boot camp for civilians, and decides getting
referrals from a celebrity club in LA would be a perfect idea.
While Monty recruits members to his military training center, he
meets the handsome massage therapist, Kellie Hamilton.
The contact between Kellie and Monty while Monty is on the
massage table instantly sends both men into a state of pure
sexual arousal. In this heightened state, where two opposites
certainly are attracted, Kellie needs to decide if the tough thirty-eight year old ex-military man will be his Happy Ending, or if
living happily ever after is just a fairy tale.
The Crush
Straight thirty-two year old Cooper McDermott knew
marrying an eighteen year old pageant queen was a mistake. And
after two years, his young wife began a spree of cheating on him,
breaking his heart.
Newcomer from New York City to the Los Angeles area,
Blair Woodbury joins the staff of the law office where the
stunning Cooper McDermott works. Blair considers himself
‘bisexual’, but has just ended an affair back in New York with a
man. It didn’t take long for Blair to get a full blown crush on
Cooper, especially when he was asked to represent Cooper in his
divorce. Blair knew getting emotionally involved with a man on
the heels of a bad breakup was bad enough, not to mention the
object of Blair’s desire was straight-
As their friendship grew and they became best buddies,
Blair’s crush on Cooper became extreme. When Cooper agrees
to go for a ‘boy’s’ weekend in Las Vegas, as his sexual curiosity
began to emerge, Blair knew he was in for a wild ride!
Can Blair convince Cooper that his feelings for him are real?
Or will this fantasy of Blair’s be simply just a crush on his co-

stays in Vegas!
