“Suck it Up” blurb
Unwillingly attending a company team bonding day, Taylor would
rather be spending his time actually working. The team-building does have the
advantage of letting him watch Scott and Fergus, two other gay men who work for
the company. When they're told to break into small groups and tell each other
something deep and meaningful, Taylor naturally gravitates to the two men.
With the suggestion of lust as a topic, and an invitation back to
Fergus' place for a more in-depth (and hands-on) study, Taylor's team-bonding
day is looking up!
PG Excerpt
As he walked, he looked all around. He'd ambled through the
garden at the very start of the day just to kill time. It was a pretty place,
with seats under big trees, and a fountain in the center. But he wanted to be
somewhere he could see the people around them. He really didn't want to be
overheard if things did get beyond the surface. In particular he didn't want
anyone to hear him say, "Let's fuck". Assuming he had enough courage
to even ask the question. And assuming Fergus and Taylor didn't laugh
themselves into hysterics if he did say it.
He kept walking to the very end of the garden. There was a
low stone wall there and they could sit in the corner, more or less facing each
other, yet still see anyone approaching them. Perfect.
So, how was he going to do this? How could the conversation
be turned around to, "Well, we're all gay and I've never had two men at
once, so let's do it?" Somehow, I
don't think that line'll work.
They shuffled around almost silently, seating themselves on
the wall. Scott thought Taylor looked worried. He almost wanted to reach out
and touch the man, to reassure Taylor that they could fake their report and not
talk about anything personal unless everyone wanted to. He was glad he hadn't
spoken, when Fergus said in a conversational, although quiet, tone, "Since
we're supposed to be deep and meaningful and all warm and fuzzy right now, I
suggest we talk about lust. Lust is a good topic."
"Lust?" gasped Taylor. Scott felt exactly how
Taylor looked. As though someone had kicked him in the balls.
"That bossy chick isn't going to ask us for chapter and
verse on what we discussed. Likely once we tell her the topic she'll move right
on to the next group. Besides, it's what we're all thinking, isn't it? I mean,
how likely was it that the three gay men in the company would just happen to
form into a group for a half hour personal conversation? I only live twenty minutes'
drive from here. I'd like you both to come back to my home when we finish this
workshop today."
