BLURB:
Can
the geeky teacher moonlighting as a rock and roll metal god find the one man to
see both sides and want it all with him?
Ever since Michael
Jepsen walked into Cedarwood Elementary and spotted Niall Grayson, he’s been
hooked. He wants to explore every inch of the sexy third grade teacher in all
sorts of hot ways. But Michael has a secret—during the summer months, he morphs
into his alter ego, Bandit, and rocks stages all across the country. Can he
keep his job at the school, while living the rock and roll lifestyle and snag
the man of his dreams?
Niall Grayson never
thought he’d catch Michael’s eye. Becoming more than good friends never crossed
his mind. He’s not good at letting people into his private life and he prefers
to keep his heart guarded, but something about Michael makes him want to open
up. Will he be able to accept the different facets of Michael or will the
relationship fail before it gets started?

“You’re gay?” Niall’s voice cracked.
“You’re surprised?” Michael forced himself to smile. “I
don’t wear it on my sleeve, but I prefer cock to pussy.”
“I’m shocked.” Niall settled in his seat and let go of the
wheel. “All the girls love you, and the moms all line up to see you during
conferences. Every time I look over there when you’re with parents, you seem to
enjoy the female adulation.” He turned the car off and lowered his gaze.
“Sorry. That’s rude. I assumed you were straight, and now I’m bashing you.”
“You’re not the first to assume and not the first to say
what’s on your mind.” He debated what to say next. He needed to move with
caution. “I’m gay and I’m attracted to you.”
“And you want to go on a date with me.” Niall finally looked
at Michael. “I can’t believe you’re into me, but I’m all for it.” He grinned,
although the tips of his ears were red. “When? I’m free pretty much every day
once the staff meetings are over tomorrow.”
“How about Thursday night?” He’d prefer Friday night, but he
was supposed to be leaving Friday midmorning.
“I’m free Friday. We could go then?”
“I’m busy on Friday.” He wanted to tell Niall the truth, but
he couldn’t. No way he’d disclose his secret yet.
“Another guy?” Niall lowered his gaze again. “I should’ve
known.”
“It’s not like that. I only date one person at a time.” He
eased his hand free from the carrier. “I’ve got a second job, and I need to be
at that Friday night.”
“Oh.” Niall covered his face with his hands. “I’m so…sorry.
I speak before I think, and it gets me into trouble.” He glanced over at
Michael. “What the hell? Why not?”
“You’re unsure.” Michael wanted to keep questioning Niall,
but they were late in getting the food to the other staff members. “Clue me in
after the meeting?”
“Don’t have to wait that long.” Niall opened his car door.
“I’m crap at dating. I’ve only had one boyfriend, and we didn’t really…date.”
“All sex, all the time?” Not that so much sex with Niall
didn’t sound wonderful. He wanted to be the man tangled up with Niall between
the sheets.
“With Kurt when it was good, it was great. When it was bad,
it was over.” Niall shrugged. “If you’re willing to give me a chance and to
take things slow, we’ve got a shot.”
He grabbed Niall’s hand and squeezed his friend’s fingers.
He needed to act on instinct and not fight his attraction to Niall. “Then let
me give you a better perspective.” He leaned across the console of the car and
kissed his friend. Sparks shot through his body, and his lips tingled. He never
should’ve waited this long to give in to his crush.
Niall moaned and opened to him, allowing Michael to suck on
his tongue.
Niall grabbed the front of Michael’s shirt. He broke the
connection first and gasped for breath. “I like the new perspective.”
“That doesn’t have to be the only kiss.” Michael rested his
forehead against Niall’s. “Come over tonight.”
“After the meeting, I’m all yours.” Niall let go of Michael,
and when he climbed out of the car, he wobbled a bit. He wandered around the
front of the vehicle and grabbed the bags from between Michael’s knees.
Michael didn’t bother to hide the smile. This was the start
of something great, and he couldn’t wait to get through the meeting. He wanted
so much more of Niall Grayson and in every way possible.
