OTHER SHORT STORIES

Screw the Rent--Travis was two months behind in his rent, so the knock on his door wasn't totally unexpected. But it wasn't his Latina landlady, it was her brother, and he wasn't taking no for an answer. Rough sex with a bigoted main character using/thinking strong language.

Good for Nothing--Stuart and his wife had a live-in houseguest who has more than outstayed his welcome and his wife orders Stuart to tell the good-for-nothing louse to move out at once. But when our hero walks in on the sleeping stud naked in his bed and tells him he's good for nothing, the man promptly proves our hero wrong by showing him how good he really is!

Chicken Thief--When our young hero tries his hand at stealing chickens from the neighbor's coop one night, he finds himself caught by a pair of brothers who deal out their own punishment on the spot.

Car Wash--Vince was out of prison, but the only job he could get was a minimum-wage job at the car wash. His options in life were looking as limited as they were in prison, especially when his two co-workers began to barter with him for a piece of his ass. But it turned out that this was different from prison in one very important respect...

A Pair of Strays--Linc and Max are two young men living on the streets. They have no home, no jobs, no family, nothing but each other to depend on. But if you work it right, that can be enough.

Plumb Got Carried Away--Clem is a backwoods distant (fourth or fifth cousin!) relative of Terry, come to stay with him in this new town. Terry finds that Clem is virgin-innocent of everything to do with modern technology and perhaps it wasn't the best way to introduce him to that technology by showing him a straight-porn movie. But he does and Clem gets more than carried away by his first taste of pornographic video, and he shows his appreciation by acting out his fantasies on Terry's more than willing body.

Honey Bear--John was a veteran on the tramp, unable to fit in anywhere he went. He was fast running out of friends until he showed up on Rex's farm. Rex turns out to be a big, beefy bear of a man who keeps bees, and it's up to John to fit himself into this honey bear's life.

Flophouse Rules--Bovins owned a flophouse where the rent was something negotiable. Even a lowly street punk could afford to live there. Only thing was that anyone who lived there had to live by Bovins' rules...and tonight was the night he taught his blond-haired punk what living by his rules meant! Rough sex.

Burning--Leroy and Tyler are black field workers in the year 1870, scraping out a bare living under the eye of a mean overseer. But when Tyler's shack goes up in flame, he moves in with Leroy and what flames up there is something much better for both of them.

Eugene--When his mother marries a black man, our hero finds himself in an uncomfortable situation. And when his stepfather's relative Eugene gets out of prison and comes to live with them, life gets even rougher, especially when he discovers Eugene plans to use him the way he had young men in prison! Rough sex.

A Taste of Prison--When Matt got out of prison on parole, he never expected to land a job as a security guard for a rich securities broker. But the reason for his hiring becomes clear when his new boss explains that he's about to be taken to prison for securities fraud and wants our hero to show him what it's like in prison...by fucking him the way they fuck the new guys in prison!

Just What I Need--His wife is cheating on him, and he feels his only choice is to go talk to the man, who turns out to be rough and crude. Failing to see the attraction, he asks, then begs, to be taught the man's secret for pleasing his wife, and the man agrees but insists on showing our hero how it's done, and so begins a sexual session he'll never forget!

Living in the Shadows--Our hero grew up on the streets with his mother, his unique talent (shadows tell him the future) helping them survive. But when his mother finds a steady lover, their luck seems to have changed...only it hasn't, and our hero's abilities are about to undergo their greatest test...as will he! Somber storyline with rough sex.

Broke for Christmas---Brian and Manny were two guys stuck in low-paying jobs and living in a hotel room, struggling to make ends meet. And when payday was December 26th this year, they had nothing to let them celebrate the holiday...except for the cheer they managed to come up with themselves.
