For Rent or For Real

College student Ted Davis is desperate for money. Without a source of income he’ll be forced to quit school and return home to his homophobic stepfather who cut him off when he was caught fooling around with his best friend. While working as a waiter, Ted meets suave, handsome Trace Morrison, who offers Ted a job as an escort. Ted is reluctant at first, as he doesn’t believe himself to be gay. However, when Trace seduces him, Ted realizes his stepfather’s assessment of him was correct. Ted quickly discovers that working as an escort is not as glamorous or satisfying as it appears on the surface. He becomes disillusioned with his life as a rent boy and seeks to find a way out of his situation -- to escape the world of shallow, impersonal sex to find a relationship that has real depth and meaning. Will Ted be trapped in this life of sex for hire until he’s too old to attract the attention of the parade of rich and needy clients that rent his body to fulfill their fantasies? Or will his own fantasies of a real, loving and monogamous relationship be realized when someone from Ted’s past re-enters the picture?

Chapter 27

“Come in.” Trace’s muffled voice came through the closed door.

Ted opened it and walked in. Trace was rounding his desk toward Ted. As Trace took Ted into his arms for a kiss on the cheek, Ted caught sight of Chris sitting on the couch. A flush of panic washed over him. Had their relationship been discovered? Why else would Trace have the two of them in his office? Yet Trace didn’t seem upset, and neither did Chris, who gave Ted his usual sexy smile.

“Have a seat, Ted,” Trace was saying, gesturing to the space next to Chris.

Ted did and smiled at his friend, who smiled back and gave his knee a squeeze. Still sensing some form of rebuke from Trace, Ted turned his attention to his employer, who was now sitting on the end of the large desk, grinning at the two men as they sat together. Ted felt like a mouse about to be pounced on by a playful cat.

“Yes, I think the two of you would work out very nicely,” Trace said.

Ted glanced at Chris, who wiggled his eyebrows.
