Gorgeous by Jason Collins

AVERY:

I wear dresses for me, not for straight guys.
Two things make me stand out: my femme clothes and my long hair. When a jerk catcalls me, I don’t expect a stranger to step in—and I certainly don’t expect a rescuer as handsome as Eric.
I thought he was straight until our plan to get drinks after work turns into something more. He’s second-guessing his straightness, but I swore off being someone’s experiment a long time ago.
I won’t budge on that. Not even for Eric. Not even when he’s all I can think about. Not even when I’ve totally fallen for him.
But I’ve been too careful with my heart to let Eric break it all over again.

ERIC:

What do I find hot? Long hair, dresses, and Avery.
When I step in to help a stranger being catcalled, I didn’t think I’d find a man like Avery under those long locks. What’s more, I can’t get him out of my mind.
I’m not gay, but one mind-blowing night with Avery changes everything. He feels better in my arms than anyone ever has.
But he’s being cautious, and I don’t blame him—I was a married straight man until a few months ago. The problem? While he’s holding back, I’m falling even harder.
I want to take a chance with Avery, but I need him to trust me.
