Tempted

By R.W. Clinger

English teacher Dwayne Jewel might be in quarantine due to COVID-19 for the next six weeks, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to ogle the German beefster, Benz Hartzig, across the hall in apartment 3-C.

There’s just one problem, though -- Benz doesn’t even look at Dwayne. Not even for a second.

But life changes when COVID-19 rules the world. Benz starts to take an interest in Dwayne, especially when he learns Dwayne’s a big mystery reader. Then Dwayne receives Tempted, a gay erotic tale Benz wants to borrow. Will Benz enjoy the read? If so, does Dwayne have a shot with the stud?
