Jon has yearned for a man's touch for as long as he can remember.
Now two younger men are about to bring his fantasies to life.
Jon Walters is a mess.
He's thirty-eight. His roommates are eighteen and twenty. It's never gonna work. But Lord, he wants it to.
He's spent years hiding his sexuality. Denying his desires. Guys don't come out at my age - do they? Except he did come out once - and went right back in again. How does he explain all this to Del, his brother? That's a conversation Jon is dreading. Del is the only family Jon has left, and he's going to be hurt. Angry. Not to mention, there are secrets Jon does not want to share.
And then there's Chaz and Kendis. Wasn't falling for one guy enough of a challenge? I had to fall for both of them? And what the hell do they see in me? Because they're not making it easy for him to say no.
Whichever way he looks at it, Jon's life just went way beyond It's Complicated…
Chaz is a mess, yearning for two very different men. Kendis is a sweet virgin, and Lord knows, when they finally get their act together, they're gonna burn the sheets. But then there's Jon, the good, kind, nurturing man who treats Chaz like he was his own son. Somewhere along the line, Chaz's mind has twisted a sweet, straight guy into a sexy full-on guy.
Why did you have to be straight, Jon? Chaz is under no illusions. Straight men don't all in love with gay guys. That's strictly a porn fantasy. And that's all Jon is ever going to be—a fantasy.
Kendis is a hot mess. Chaz is a walking dream, so why does Kendis keep thinking about Jon, his boyfriend's roommate? How can it be right to have the hots for two guys at the same time? And what if Chaz is right? What if Jon isn't as straight as he appears?
Then Chaz plans a night of shenanigans to prove his theory once and for all.
Desire & Denial is an age gap, interracial, out for you hot tale of first times, coming out, and family. A true southern depiction of love with a twist, where a shy, adorable bear finds love not once but twice in a sweet, heartwarming, funny romance, filled with moving moments – and some naughty ones too.
Warning: You will never look at a teddy bear the same way ever again.
