Cole’s home for the summer, counting the days until he can trade the oppressive heat of Tucson for the deep foliage of New England and college out east. It can’t come soon enough.

His parents have left town for the week, entrusting him with the house and asking the neighbors to keep an eye on him. Particularly the guys next door, Ryan and Joe.

The only gay people on the block, they’ve always been more than respectful and polite, if maybe a bit curious about Cole’s…orientation.

That is, until they invite him over to do some yard work—easy stuff, to earn some extra money. Thus starts a weeklong sexual awakening, Joe and Ryan bestowing something beautiful upon Cole.

A gift.
