Leigh has an old triathlon suit, one he’s had since he was a child. It’s faded and worn, and in it, Leigh is all but naked.
It’s a sunny summer morning, and Leigh has woken from a dream of a handsome, mysterious stranger. He’s just the sort of guy Leigh wants, but how will he ever get to meet anybody, stuck at home all summer?
If he rides up to Mount Riley in his suit, then maybe he’ll attract someone’s attention.
Leigh has no idea how right he is, and he has no idea, when he’s skinny-dipping in a mountain stream, that someone is watching him, hidden in the forest — someone who’ll take Leigh to a place he’s never been.
Joel is young and lonely and a little oversexed. When a thief leaves him naked at the beach, he turns to Sean, a striking, dark-haired stranger for help.
Sean offers Joel a towel, and once they get talking, he tells him all about the Umberto Institute, a medical facility where they’re testing a new aphrodisiac. Sean is signed up for a three week, live-in trial.
A new aphrodisiac? It’s not something Joel really needs. But when Sean tells him they’re paying $4,500, he starts to think.
$4,500 and three weeks with Sean? It sounds too good to be true. But once Joel is in the institute, will he ever get out?
Skipper isn’t terribly bright. He’s made his way to college on a football scholarship, but no sooner has the year started than Skipper’s in a jam. He’s stuck at a party dressed as Tarzan, in a loincloth meant for a boy.
Fortunately for Skipper, blond-haired Lake is on hand to help him out, and once the party’s over, Skipper’s admiration for Lake blossoms immeasurably. Soon they’re sharing a room, but as he watches Lake sleep, Skipper’s unable to keep his eyes or his hands to himself.
Will Lake wake with Skipper beside him? And will these two ever be able to work it out?
Brad is short of cash. He's lost his job, and if he can't find the rent money by Friday, he's going to be evicted. He answers a job to work as a strip-o-gram, but ends up getting more than he bargained for.
