Blurb:
Tony likes women. Always has. Always will. So when he wakes
up in a strange bed after a drunken night out, he isn’t too concerned.
Thinking he’d scored with a woman from the club he’d been in
the night before, he was shocked and horrified when he realized he was in a
man’s bed. Naked.
What the hell happened last night?
With that question in mind, Tony quickly leaves before
seeing the man he spent the night with, but in his haste leaves something
important behind.
When the man he spent the night with calls him, Tony
realizes that he has to meet him in order to get back what he left and that
maybe he might not be as straight as he once thought.
With his brother’s help, Tony begins to question what he
thought he knew about his sexuality and where the answer to that question might
lead him.

Excerpt:
Tony woke up slowly and
sluggishly. He moved slightly on the bed and tensed when his stomach reminded
him of just how much he had drunk the night before. He groaned and repeatedly
swallowed as saliva flooded his mouth. His stomach didn’t want
the contents it contained and was attempting to eject them.
He ran his hands over the bedding and stopped. He rubbed his fingers
over the material noticing the softness. His breath caught. It wasn’t his
bedding, and now he was aware that the mattress was completely different to his
too. He swallowed again but this time it wasn’t to stop himself from being
sick.
He blinked his eyes a couple of times before he could open them and
stared at the white ceiling above him, seeing it through gritty and filmy eyes.
Yep, didn’t recognize it. His breathing started to quicken as he became fully
aware that he was in a room he didn’t recognize. Refusing to give in to the
panic that was starting to rise in him, he slowly and carefully turned his head
to the side so he could look at the room. He grimaced and closed his eyes as
his head pounded in protest, and he took another couple of deep breaths before
he was ready to open them again.
Blue walls stared back at him. He glanced around the room, noticing the
dark furniture. Walnut maybe? Closing his eyes again, he tried to recall if he
knew who had a bedroom like this. No, couldn’t think of a single person. The
furniture looked expensive, too expensive for any of his friends to have.
On his second look around the room, he started to notice the details he
hadn’t picked up the first time he’d glanced at it. Pictures on the walls, a
bookcase in the corner, dark blue curtains, clothing strewn across the floor,
black bedding. Frowning he looked more closely at the clothing on the floor and
recognized his own among the scattered items. Was he naked? Why hadn’t he been
aware that he was naked in someone else’s bed?
Then he noticed the type of clothing. Jeans, a shirt and boxer briefs
that were definitely not his. His heart rate increased, and a fine film of
sweat broke out over his body. He scanned the room again, looking more closely
at the pictures he could see. There were men and women in them but only one man
appeared in all of the pictures. Fuck, he was in a man’s room. He was in a
man’s room and naked in his bed.
He closed his eyes. What the hell was he doing in a man’s bed? What had
happened? His brother might like cock, but he didn’t. Absolutely not. Opening
his eyes, he lifted the sheets and looked down his body. A strange keening
sound left his mouth as he saw the marks that travelled down his chest and
abdomen. He dropped the sheets quickly hoping to erase the image of his body
from his mind and tried to think about the night before.
What had he done? How much had he drunk? He couldn’t remember much after
he had gone into the club with his brother and their friends. He had a vague
memory of a woman in a skin tight dress and a man wearing a black shirt. He
looked at the shirt on the floor. Shit, the shirt was black. Oh God, he was in
the bedroom of the man from the club.
As he lay there, he became aware of another sound entering the room: the
shower. The shower was running. That meant the man from the club was still here
and virtually in the room. He had to get out before he finished in the
bathroom. He couldn’t face him. What if he had fucked him? Oh fuck, what did he
do? Why couldn’t he remember?
He rolled cautiously to his side and had to pause, rubbing his stomach
as he attempted to settle it. He swallowed convulsively as he took deep
breaths. God, he felt like a woman in labor with all the deep breathing he was
doing. When he felt more in control, he gingerly sat up and then slumped over
as his stomach heaved. He put his head between his knees again as he was forced
to stop himself from being sick.
Squeezing his eyes shut, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with the
back of his hand and shivered uncontrollably. Sinking gently to his knees, he
crawled on the floor over to where his clothes were. He dressed as quickly as
he could, which wasn’t quick at all, and as he was attempting to stand to find
his shoes, he heard the shower switch off.
