Stay Tape by Alex Draven
Dirk works as fashion designer for a little firm specialized in corsets, Kit is a bartender in a fancy bar; they are young, in love and very gay. Both of them like to "dress" during their spare time, but unlike Kit who is not against the idea to play model here and there, Dirk likes to dress only for his lover and preferably in the intimacy of their little and cozy apartment. But Dirk's boss, a very dictatorial woman, wants that her designers pose with their creation for the next catalogue, and Dirk hates to having his pictures taken. And he doesn't find support in Kit, since his boyfriend doesn't understand why an handsome man like him should have problem... but then he likes Dirk dressed and naked... he likes Dirk point.
All the blurb is there, nothing more, but it's the setting that is interesting. I can really imagine these two guys, with their alternative jobs, with enough money to be happy but not so much to be considered rich, with their love which is enough. Both cute and pretty, similar in body and longings, still young enough to not worry about tomorrow, happy to enjoy today.. They are like thousand of young men who live in some big American cities, with big dreams and no family obligations.
Short, less than 50 pages, but enjoyable, a very good reading for a lazy afternoon.
