Cubicle Cupid

By Alex Winters

This year, Cupid’s wearing a pocket protector!

Seth Jerome is perfectly content with his go-nowhere job at the Holiday Helpline, working the graveyard shift in an empty office, going home to his empty loft apartment and numb to everything about his empty, workaday life. But when he is assigned an intern for the spring semester, Seth’s world is turned upside down—and that’s before he meets Lyle, the nerdy, slight, bookish and utterly irresistible college sophomore he’ll be spending the semester with.

Lyle McPhee is more than happy to blitz through Carlton College the same way he blitzed through high school: hard, fast and anonymous, with no one to question his illicit desires or, for that matter, indulge them since he’s far too shy for anything as intimate as dating another boy. But all that changes when he meets Seth, his coworker at Holiday Helpline. For underneath Seth’s sculptured physique and alpha aesthetic is a big, old softie waiting to be lured out of his shell—and into Lyle’s bed. And for once, Lyle is more than willing to take the plunge and lose his V-card to the sexiest jock on campus!
