    About this ebook

    Kevin Baker is a banker, fifty-eight years old, but tells anyone who seems interested that he’s fifty-five. He regularly visits his gym in order to keep in shape, as well as to scope out the hunks. One particular hunk, Jake Whittiker is a leather-clad,muscled, tattooed, shaven headed biker. Kevin is infatuated with Jake and takes every opportunity to check the guy out.

    On the surface, Kevin and Jake couldn't be more different, however, they have certain things in common: both are gay and are seeking love in lieu of meaningless brief encounters. Both also have something they are hiding.

    Life for Kevin becomes increasingly complicated when passion and testosterone take over his normally reticent behavior. He agrees to go back to Jake’s house for sex. Here Jake’s secret is revealed and Kevin inadvertently confesses what he, too, has been holding back. The happy future for which both yearned seems impossible.

    Now the lies and omissions are revealed, can Jake and Kevin accept each others' imperfections and weave a new future with what's left?

      Tangled Web

      By Terry O’Reilly

      Kevin Baker sat at his desk in the Third Street Bank and Trust. Anxious about the time, he surreptitiously checked his watch as his secretary droned on with the review of that day’s accomplishments.

      It was 4:46 P.M. Fourteen more minutes. Please don’t let any last minute drama come busting through that door, Kevin thought. I wanta get to the gym. I gotta see him again.

      The ‘him’ was a six foot something hunk of a bear—as the personals would describe him—who had captivated Kevin’s attention at the local gym for the previous three weeks. He didn’t come to the gym every day, but came often enough that Kevin was always looking for him, always hoping he would show up.

      The guy was husky and handsome. His head was shaved; he had hoops in both ears and a tattoo of a leopard on his upper left arm. Kevin guessed he had blue eyes. He had never been close enough to make sure. The one time Kevin had been close, on opposite sides of a rower they both were heading to use, he had been so flabbergasted that he didn’t look directly at the man. Kevin was sure the guy had a salt and pepper Van Dyke. Kevin figured the man was in his forties, maybe fifty.  That made Kevin feel good because he was fifty-five. Well, okay, fifty-eight, but Kevin thought he looked fifty-five, so that was what he put in his personal on the Older 4 Me website. Kevin had had few hits to his ad. He figured it was because he’d been honest and included the information that he was married. The few guys who had responded were in the same situation as Kevin. But no one turned him on like the man at the gym.

      Mr. Baker?

      Yes, Marianne?

      I said, what do you want me to do about the Johnson application for a small business loan? They’ve called three times and need—

      Oh…yes…I’ll call them in the morning. I… Kevin checked his watch again, 5:05… I have an important…ah… meeting to get to.

      All right, she sighed, but please call them. They’re getting on my nerves.

      I will. Don’t worry. Johnson, Shonson. It’s five and I’m outta here, he thought.

      Marianne gathered her notes and left the office. Kevin looked over the papers on his desk one last time and went into his private bathroom to get ready to go. He pissed and stepped to the sink to wash his hands. Gazing at his reflection he assessed himself for the umpteenth time that day.

      He stood just under six feet, weighed about one-hundred-seventy-five and could be considered well-built. He didn’t have the genes of a body builder, although he had aspired to that for as long as he could remember, but his regular workouts had produced good muscle tone and he was well proportioned. He flexed his chest muscles and pulled in his belly.

      Yeah, I’m reasonably attractive.

      His dream man did have those genes. He had a massive chest and arms as big as Kevin’s thighs.  Dream Man’s belly protruded, but Kevin had no objection to that. In fact, Kevin found a round, firm, domed belly as much of a turn on as a six-pack. The guy’s waist was slim, his back tapering in a perfect ‘v’ and his butt…oh, man…his butt. It was round
