Weight For Love by Jason Collins

MARK

Two things are off the menu: straight men and delicious food. I have no idea what to expect when I return to my hometown to help renovate the family house. Growing up, I wasn’t exactly an athletic kid. Still, it turns out that Winchester has a warm welcome for me, and his name is Carter. But thinking about love would be a lot easier if I weren’t so worried about my weight.

My homecoming starts with a broken-down car just as I arrive, and of course Carter is the first person to drive by. He’s even fitter and sexier than when I left. I thought those piercing eyes were only for the ladies, but I was wrong. Oh so wrong. We want each other, but I’m not sure if I deserve a guy like Carter. Maybe it’s time to show him what my body can really do. I might be cutting calories, but Carter’s one indulgence I can’t refuse.

CARTER

Mark thinks he needs to slim down, but I’d rather see him strip down. I missed my chance in high school, and I never thought I’d see Mark again. But he’s back in town and looking better than ever. When I give his car a jump, sparks fly, and he’s even more charming than I remember.
As luck would have it, I’m the contractor renovating his grandma’s house, which means we’ll be seeing a lot of each other. And I can’t hide my excitement. I want Mark, and I’m not letting labels get in the way of that. He’s the one who got away. I want to give him the romance we missed out on in high school.

But Mark is holding back. I like him at any weight, yet he’s determined to change himself. His dedication makes me swoon, but I want him to know that I find him sexy no matter what. Mark says he wants a workout partner, and I’m hoping that clothing is optional.
