Professional dog walker and part-time brownstone-sitter, Adam Schultz attends a Three-Minute Dating Engagement in Greenwich Village to help him find Mr. Right.

Schultz world tilts on its axis when he meets Kintano Kind. The man is sweet, big, black, sexy, and works with autistic children. He treats Schultz like a king on their steamy and fun-filled dates.

Things become serious when Schultz is invited to meet Kintano’s parents and he begins to wonder if Kintano is his Mr. Right. Can the two men form a long-lasting relationship? Or will Schultz’s doubts and insecurities lead them down separate paths?

Jake Harding

Jake Harding resides near a local vineyard in Erie, Pennsylvania. He was an assistant editor for four years at The Writer’s Post Journal, an arts magazine based out of Pittsburgh. Currently, he teaches English at a private lakeside college. Although he likes to read novels, he’s more interested in crafting short stories. A dozen or more of his stories have appeared in various magazines. Being single, a heavy coffee drinker, and crossword puzzle addict, Jake occasionally dates lumberjacks, mechanics, or blue collar men with husky and bearish builds. Such dates become the short stories he writes and are almost autobiographical. He enjoys writing on his laptop, spilling out his M/M tales. Rarely, if ever, will you see him without a book of short stories at his side.

Under Kintano

By Jake Harding

The instructions were quite simple to follow at The Brat House, a gay-friendly community center, regarding Friday night’s Three-Minute Dating Engagement:

Fifteen, two-person tables were placed in a circle. Seated on the right side of each table was a single bachelor. All fifteen of those men were of various cultures, skin tones, widths, builds, smiles, and shoe sizes. All were handsome or puppy dog cute in their own way. And all were over twenty-one years old.

Standing at the front of the room were fifteen more men, which included Quiver, Jason, Dexter, Samuel (most of which were my friends), and me. The man-club coaxed me to attend the function, even though I wasn’t looking for a date or a boyfriend, since I had probably had one too many on
