  1. The bed sheets had been pre-tousled so it looked as if the camera had caught them post-coitus. And they had just finished a pushup contest to give them authentic rosy cheeks and a thin sheen of sweat. Erik might have been bigger physically, but Ryan was pleased to have won the match while the crew counted the number of pushups for them. Now they lay in bed, Erik on his back, Ryan on his chest, their legs entwined. Ryan’s chin was pillowed on his left hand, while his right traced the misty ink t
  2. Uh, please tell me there's more to this coming. Because leaving us hanging like that... cruel and unusual punishment, Sasha. Not cool.
  3. I'll pick one I did recently about two expectant dads: https://www.gayauthors.org/story/hudson-bartholomew/promptsbyhb/2
  4. Thanks, Def! Yes, we'll certainly see what happens
  5. Ryan doesn't like to brag about being a smarty-pants Just like he doesn't like to share much about anything... which is kind of his problem
  6. Academic stress is a tough one, and not always easy for others to understand. I'm glad you can relate, though. Like I said below to Mac, Ryan's an emotional guy. We'll see whether he learns how to handle his emotions or if they get the better of him.
  7. Ryan tends to feel his emotions very deeply. But being so reserved means there's no way for those emotions to filter out on a regular basis... so they all tend to come out during sex, it seems. Anyways, we'll see in the next chapter if Erik's "solution" works Thanks for the review!
  8. “Fucking middle of the night, fucking Brooklyn, fucking top floor of a fucking five-floor walkup,” Erik muttered to himself as he reached the landing at the top of the stairs. He took a second to catch his breath before knocking and noticed jangling and thudding sounds coming from the other side of the door. He banged loudly, and the sounds stopped. A moment later, the locks clicked and the door opened to reveal a half-naked, sweaty, out-of-breath Ryan with his hair all in a mess. Erik smirked
  9. Thanks, Lisa. It would be fun for Erik and Ryan to watch the video together, wouldn't it? Ryan just might die of embarrassment, though we'll see!
  10. Thanks, Ron. Appreciate the review.
  11. Ryan moved around behind the bar with a practiced ease, his brain only half aware of what he was doing and his body acting on muscle memory. Glasses were arranged in neat rows, mixers and shot glasses placed at their stations, kegs hooked up to their taps. There was something soothing about going through familiar motions, and in the several weeks since that scene, Ryan wanted nothing more than to immerse himself in the familiar. “Hey.” Amanda gave him a wary greeting. Ryan returned with a nonc
  12. Thanks for the mention!
  13. Thanks! I guess this could be categorized as flash fiction. Marcus and Andy are characters from another story I wrote a little while back, which you may have read at one point I've been editing and re-working that piece, so these boys were fresh on my mind.
  14. “There is no way I’m wearing that!” “Why not?” “Because!” Marcus waved at the contraption as if the gesture was explanation enough. “What?” Andy flipped the black cotton vest back and forth, inspecting it for defects. “What’s wrong with it?” “What do you mean, ‘What’s wrong with it?’ It’s got nipples!” “Well, of course it has nipples, that’s the whole point. It’s supposed to mimic a woman’s breasts.” Andy held the vest up against his body and the two clear nipples, framed by white plastic a
  15. Thanks, clo!
  16. Thanks, azaroth!
  17. Thanks Val! Glad you liked it
  18. If your computer combusts from my writing, then I'll happily pay for a replacement Thanks for the encouraging words, I'm so glad you're enjoying how things are progressing. And link to the thread is here: https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/42531-between-the-push-and-pull-by-hudson-bartholomew/
  19. Cigarette breath, indeed! But don't worry, it's just for show Glad that you're enjoying the story!
  20. “So you guys are going to sit facing each other on the couch. Ryan, you’ll have your notebook in your lap, taking notes. Got it?” Gary gave them some instructions as they set up for the scene. Ryan nodded and fiddled with the blank notebook in his hands. This scene should have been the easiest of the ones they had worked on this week; it was the only scene with actual sex in it, the only type of scene that he’d had any experience with. And yet, he couldn’t shake the tickling restlessness in his

    Sasha - I am so impressed with the level of detail you've woven into this story (and other stories). I can only imagine the amount of research that you put into your writing, and I aspire to be as detail-oriented as you are. Details about Toronto, northern Ontario, train schedules and travel times, Emmett's research area, Jian's Chinese heritage--all feel authentic and accurate. This is coming from a Chinese-speaking Torontonian. I think that's why this is one of my favourite stories of yours. The only question I had was this term Jian used: "Tángguǒ." I don't recognize it and have been racking my brain guessing what it is in Chinese. Help?
  22. Thank you so much for sharing. No words can really do justice when we lose someone we love. But I'm sure your Kevin lives on in your memories and in the way he has touched your life. And although this little prompt is fictional for me, I glad it was able to connect with you.
  23. Thanks for the review!
  24. Thanks, Def!
