    You have impressive optimism to think David Levy would learn from his mistakes.

    18. The concrete hallway of the arena vibrates with the muffled thrum of the gathering crowd and the heavy bass of warm-up music. Kelly stands with his Popeye forearms folded across his chest, blocking the doorway of the assigned locker room. “Are you fucking out of your mind? You wanna kiss and make up, now? He’ll bite your head off your shoulders and shit down your neck!” “Kelly, please. I’m not here to make up,” David says defiantly, gripping his new tablet like a shield.

    15. The next day, David goes to the gym to look for Connor, but he’s not there. He finds a shirtless Kelly punching the heavy bag by himself. His torso is thick with beefy muscle and gray matted hair covers a powerful chest soaked with sweat. Every hit sounds like a gunshot in the empty gym. “Everything’s fucked up,” says David as he approaches. “I thought I could tell him about how I was feeling but he turned on me.” “Aw geez,” says Kelly, stopping a punch mid-swing. He gla

    Thanks, @Cane23. To be honest, that reflects my experience in life.

    Thank you @Cane23. I hope you like what follows.

    David a dedicated student. (And much of what he learned will come in handy later!)

    @Howzat I just had 3 publish for you.

    10. David normally wakes on schedule at 7 am without an alarm, his body tuned to the rhythms of the city and the caffeine that fuels it. But his late night at the Triple Hit has thrown his internal clock into chaos. It's nearly 10 when his eyes finally open, gritty with sleep. He rolls over, groping for his phone on the nightstand. David texts Connor: Good morning. Connor: Hey. David: That was amazing. Connor: Speak for yourself. I don’t think I’ll ever walk right

    @Howzat I think Ryan was very much saying he’s gay, and I think David understood him.

    6. “Why do you guys hate reporters so much?” David asks, watching Connor dress for training. “Because one, you spread shit about us.”. He peels off a flannel shirt, revealing a white ribbed tank top that does little to hide the definition of his chest. “Two, the absolute last thing anyone wants is some reporter writing about how they train, or using a photo of whatever, and an opponent finding a way to manipulate that. The first rule is you don’t let anyone know your moves.” “Oh,

    1. “So what’s the name of your thing again? The publication?” asks Ken Kelly, the beefy fifty-something gym owner. “Zeitgeist,” answers David. “It means spirit of the times. But it’s entirely online—a digital magazine, not a print publication.” Kelly shrugs his bulky shoulders. “I’ll let you shadow a guy for a day—” “A week,” interrupts David. “Two weeks would be better. I think you agreed with my editor.” “A week then. But I want a fair story. No drama, no shit. And a s

    When journalist David Levy shadows an MMA fighter, he expects to meet a brute. Instead, he’s paired with Connor Ryan—a ginger-haired knockout with a sharp wit and a past as bruised as his knuckles. As David follows Connor through the high-stakes world of cage fighting, the lines between observer and participant begin to blur. With Connor training for the fight of his life and David’s career on the ropes, both men must choose between ambition and desire. But when a dark secret surfaces and a single mistake threatens everything, winning might mean losing each other for good. Co-written by Sween McDervish.

    Thanks @VBlew. Glad you stuck with it.
  14. Boy Mercury X
    Cooould be! I'm pretty certain he's got the looks built in.

    Thanks @CCinPS. I do have some other fun adventures coming soon about other men. I wonder what you think Rob and Paul might have in store.
  16. Boy Mercury X
    @FanLit Thanks for reading and commenting. It's not canon until it's in writing, but I think you may be on to something about Rob's marriage. Also, in 2 there's a suggestion that he grew up with a single mom. I suspect he has some childish ideas of being a father and a man that may have something to do with his overall behavior.

    1. The Supply List "I'm just saying, the school district's lack of vision is not our problem," Paul said, tossing a standard-issue pack of blue ballpoints back onto the metal shelf with a dismissive thud. He leaned over the shopping cart, fixing his eight-year-old nephew with a look of absolute, deadpan seriousness. The kid already carried the heavy, rule-abiding weight of being the oldest in a single-parent household, and he was treating the school supply list like a legally binding d

    @Cane23 you don't have long to wait, and I hope the resolution will satisfy. I couldn't help but not that as of the end of this chapter, Rob and Paul have spent only about two hours in each other's direct company. To me, it feels like more.

    Thank you @CCinPS. I was thinking that by the end of this chapter, Rob and Paul have really only ever spent a couple of hours in each other's direct presence. The final chapter, 5, will be out tomorrow. I hope you enjoy it.

    1. The Alibi Paul stood in front of the narrow hallway mirror, checking his reflection for the fourth time. The aim was to look put-together but casual. Not like a man who was about to go get railed by a married army sergeant he’d met at an airport. He’d spent the entire afternoon aggressively overcompensating. He’d returned from the British Museum with flushed cheeks, a secret map burning a hole in his pocket, and his insides still twitching from Rob’s cock. And he was ready for

    @CCinPS There is definitely more coming. And not just more of the same.

    Thanks @gmc. We have two chapters coming this weekend if I can get the finale wrapped up. Certainly one.

    Thanks @Gary L. I hope the final two chapters coming this weekend will be more appealing than a flat white.
