Blurb/Synopsis:
Professional football player Hunter Davis is learning that
saying he’s gay is very different from actively being in a relationship with
another man—especially in the eyes of his teammates and fans. So when Hunter
needs a personal assistant to keep him organized, he asks for a woman to
prevent tongues from wagging.
Montgomery Willis badly needs to find work before he loses
everything. There’s just one position at the agency where he applies, but the
problem is, he’s not a woman. And he knows nothing about football. Still,
Hunter gives him a chance, but only because Monty’s desperate.
Monty soon proves his worth by saving Hunter’s bacon on an
important promotional shoot, and Hunter realizes he might have someone special
working for him—in more ways than one. Monty’s feelings come to the surface
during an outing in the park when Hunter decides to teach Monty a bit about the
game, and pictures surface of them in some questionable positions. Hunter is
reminded that knowing he’s gay and seeing evidence in the papers is very
different for the other players, and he might have to choose between two loves:
football and Monty.
“This
is really working,”
Raphael said as he moved around him, giving instructions and taking pictures. “You look great.” He snapped image after
image. “Just a few
more. That’s it,
right there.” He
stopped and put the camera down. Hunter put the robe back on, and Raphael moved
to the computer on the desk next to him. The images taken were displayed on the
screen, and Raphael moved through them quickly until they found an image that
leapt off the screen. “That’s it. Right there.”
The assistants came back in, and Monty put Hunter’s coffee in his hand.
“That’s hot,” Monty said when he saw
the image on the screen. “Go
on and change.”
Hunter went back behind the screen. “Okay,
I want to see every image,”
Monty demanded. “Delete
that and that. You will not keep those images in any way. Delete them now!”
“That’s not in the agreement,” Raphael said.
“You’ll do it, or so help me,
I’ll destroy the
camera and throw the computer out the fucking window. Now get to it.” Once Hunter had dressed,
he came out from behind the screen to find Monty with his hands on his hips,
glaring at Raphael. “That
one too… and that
one. Jesus, you’re
just a pervert, aren’t
you? Get rid of all of those, now.”
Raphael was seething, but he did as Monty wanted, and then Monty looked through
the pictures that were left and did the same on the camera. “There better not be any
backups to any of these.”
“This
is all of them,”
Raphael said, and Monty stepped back.
“Good.
We want copies of all of these. They won’t
be published anywhere, but Hunter deserves copies of all of them.”
“They’ll be sent over once the
calendar images are finalized,”
Raphael told Hunter, ignoring Monty. He handed Hunter a card, and he passed it
to Monty.
“Thank
you,” Hunter said,
and he waited while Monty gathered his things, and then they left the studio. “What was all the yelling
about?” Hunter asked
once they were on the stairs, heading for street level.
“He’d taken a bunch of
pictures of you that included things that were best left unseen by the general
public. I don’t know
if he’d delete them
himself, but they didn’t
need to exist.”
Monty pulled open his door once Hunter unlocked the car. “Who knows where those
pictures could end up in a few years? Look on the Internet—there are pictures of
stars’ privates all
over the place. I didn’t
think you needed to join that club.”
Monty opened his computer and began tapping away as Hunter stared at him for a
few seconds. He was trying to remember the last time someone other than Garvin
had really looked out for him. He was about to say thank you when Monty looked
up from what he was doing. “Are
we going back to the house?”

Wow, I see a very interesting future. You will be injured, possibly multiple times
and its related to your work. As for the
length of your career, that’s a little murky, but I don’t see a career cut too
short. Life after football is a
completely different matter and something that is totally up in the air at this
point. I’d say you had decisions you
need to make and paths outside of football that will intersect and determine
the rest of your life.
Ooooh, I see love in your future, but it will come at a cost
and you must be ready to pay the price or risk losing someone special. Who this love is will surprise you and he’ll
help you in way you can’t imagine.
**Snicker** I also
see you naked standing next to a statue or something like that while someone
takes your picture. Naughty boy. The visions are fading. That’s all I can tell you.
