Tara Lain's Outing the Quarterback Audio Spotlight
A Novel in the Long Pass Chronicles
Will Ashford lives in two closets. He meets his wealthy
father’s goals as both the quarterback for the famous SCU football team and a
business major, but secretly he attends art school and longs to live as a
painter. And he's gay. But if he can win the coveted Milton Scholarship for
art, he’ll be able to break from his father at the end of his senior year.
In a painting master class, Will meets his divergent
opposite, Noah Zajack. A scarred orphan who’s slept on park benches and eaten
from trash cans, Noah carefully plans his life and multiple jobs so he has
money and time to go to art school. Will's problems seem like nothing compared
to Noah's. Noah wants the scholarship too and may have a way to get it since
the teacher of his class has designs on him, a plan Will isn't happy about.
Excerpt
Noah stuck to his back as Will collapsed onto the narrow
bed. The weight felt so wonderful. His ass felt so wonderful. His heart felt
pretty damned good too. He’d made that cool, cynical artist with all the top
experience lose it. Better than a fifty-yard pass.
His heart hammered against the bed while Noah’s beat against
his back. It actually tickled. Will murmured, “We got a two-drum concert going
on.”
“Yeah.” Noah’s chest expanded as he drew a breath; then he
rolled and flopped on his back. His right shoulder hung off the bed.
Will turned on his side, tucked an arm over Noah, and pulled
him closer. “Don’t want you falling off.” Actually, he missed the guy’s warmth
and wanted him near.
Quiet. Breathing. What to say now?
Noah chuckled. “Who’d have guessed you’d be a bottom? And
such an enthusiastic one.” Well, shit. Will pushed up on his forearm. Noah
grabbed him. “That was no lie I love it.”
Will collapsed back to the bed and stared into Noah’s blue,
blue eyes.
Noah brushed hair off his forehead. The mane fell over his
shoulder. He looked like a painting. “So what now?”
“You do have a way of getting to the point, Tas.” Will
cocked an eyebrow.
“No time to play games. You’re the one with all the
closets.”
Shit, yeah. Will sighed and pushed up on his elbow, then to
sitting. “Don’t you think it’s a little too soon to kill the afterglow?”
Noah shrugged. He flopped on his back. “I’ve got an early
class tomorrow, so I can’t ask you to spend the night.”
“I have to go anyway.”
“Back into the closet.”
Will frowned. “You knew about me before you fucked me.”
“Yep. But your ass turned me on more than your made-up life
turned me off.”
“I don’t know whether to be insulted or flattered.”
Noah flashed that half smile. “Your choice.”
Will stared at the beautiful, scarred, cynical face. “Maybe
you’re just too tough for me, Tas.”
The blue eyes riveted him. “Also your choice.”
Will breathed in slowly through his nose. Every hour of his
lying life felt like a low ache in his heart. This was different. More like a
knife or a big needle. Weird. He didn’t know this guy. He’d gotten what he
wanted—a hot poke in the butt. But the desire to have Noah care about him beat
like a pulse.
He unfolded himself from the bed and scooted to the floor.
Noah didn’t move.
Pants with briefs inside went on first, then his sneakers,
then his sweater. Only the sound of rustling clothing interfered with the
silence.
He walked to the door. Should he look back? No way, he
couldn’t. He turned his head. Noah lay with one arm curved above him on the
bed. His lean body looked as relaxed as his cock. His eyes were watchful.
Will nodded. “Thanks. It was great.” He opened the door and
walked out.
Cool air hit him and made him shiver, but it wasn’t as cold
as his big exit.
