.The men gathered in the living room were gorgeous.The level of testosterone was overpowering.Evan started to feel a bit panicky.Usually this many large, muscular guys were bad news for Evan, who had never fit in with the athletic types at school.Logically he knew this was a different type of situation and that he had no reason to be afraid of these guys, but he couldn’t help the way his heart beat a little faster.Unconsciously, Evan was expecting to be pushed around or teased by the other guys.He shrank to the back of the room, trying not to be noticed as he took everyone in, organizing his thoughts and hoping no one would notice how obviously he didn’t fit in.He was scrawny and a bit nerdy, inexperienced and out of his element.Bran must have been insane when he chose Evan for the project.Bran crossed the room and sat next to him.“You okay, kid?” he asked.Evan nodded and gratefully took a swig of Bran’s offered beer and winced as the alcoholic must of yeast flooded his tongue.Bran smiled and turned to address the room.“Alright, so I guess the best place to start is with names, ages, what brings you here, and what you’re looking forward to most this week? Give us the details that tell us who you are outside of the porn studio.I’ll go first, I guess, to get the ball rolling, yeah?“I’m Noah, I’m almost twenty-eight and originally from South Dakota.Been doing porn for almost ten years.Started out because my boyfriend told me I was hot and could make some money.Turns out I was pretty good at it, so I’ve been doing it ever since.Began my career at a less than reputable studio, but Les, who most of you have met, took me in after I was legal.Been with him since the start.I’ve done a lot of porn, but I’ve never directed before, so bear with me and try to keep the lines of communication open.I’m still learning too, so if there’s something you do or don’t want to do, or something you think would work better if done differently, speak up.The part behind the camera is actually one of the things I’m looking forward to most this week.“Alright, so that’s my little spiel, who’s next?” Bran looked at Riley who was sitting next to him.He threaded his fingers through his dark hair.“I guess I’ll go.Uh, my name’s Riley and I’m twenty-five.I’m originally from Ireland, just a bit outsida Dublin.I moved here with my boyfriend, but he was a bit of a dry shite, so he went back, but I stayed.Like living ’ere, but had to pay the bills somehow, so started doing porn.I can switch, top or bottom, doesn’t much matter to me, s’long as I get off.Actually think it’s quite hot to have sex in front of a camera.A bit naughty.”“What are you looking forward to most this week?” Bran asked.“Well, looking around the room, there are some right good-looking guys, so I guess I’m looking forward to being buried balls deep in most of ya.”“Trust me, the feeling is definitely mutual.”This came from the rough-looking guy, who eyed Riley with hunger lighting his gaze.He was almost threatening, his size and tattoos making him seem gruff and intimidating.“Alright, Kellan, why don’t you go next?”“Sure.I’m Kellan, and I’m twenty-three.I’ve been doing porn for about three years, got into it because I was good at it, and it seemed like a lot better deal than picking up strangers in a bar somewhere.Where I’m from, people are mostly open-minded, but pickings are slim.When I was old enough, I moved to L.A.and started working with an adult film studio there.Guys were assholes, though, so decided to switch as soon as my contract was up.Here I am.As much as I love fucking, and fucking for money is even better, I’m enrolled in a medic course starting in September.Gonna be an EMT for the fire hall in San Diego.”“So you’re after the adrenaline one way or another?”“You could say that, I guess.There’s nothing wrong with porn.I’m proud of the things I’ve done, but I’ve seen some bad shit in my life.I just wanna be able to make the world a little bit less horrible.”Kellan might be covered in tattoos and lean solid muscle from head to toe, but Evan got the impression that he had a soft heart and wasn’t afraid to tell it like it was.Bran turned to face Cooper who was sandwiched between Ryan and Colt on the couch.“So we’ve got a couple of heroes in our midst.Cooper, you wanna go next?”“Sure, I guess.But I’m not much of a hero.My name’s Cooper.I’m twenty-five and was navy until last year.”“Don’t ask, don’t tell?” asked Kellan.“Nah.I fucked up my knee during a patrol.I had a couple of surgeries to fix it, but it’s never been the same.They threw me behind a desk, but that wasn’t for me.I’m not an office kinda guy, so when it was time to re-up, I got out.”“So what brings you here now?” Bran asked.Cooper’s cheeks flushed.“Making up for lost time, I suppose.I enlisted when I was straight outta high school.I was barely eighteen before I was in basic training.I saw the ad for this project and it sounded like a good time.”“And what are you looking forward to most this week?”“The opportunity to let loose and be myself, I guess.I’ve had to be so careful, so buttoned up, for the last few years.It’ll be nice to be out and spending time with people who understand what it’s like to be gay and horny all the fucking time!”The guys laughed.“Yeah we do,” said the scruffy blond.“Jackson, you wanna go next?”“Uh, okay,” Evan said quietly.He readjusted himself, pulling his knees under himself and sitting up a little taller.It was finally his turn to introduce himself.He kept the details to a minimum, remembering Bran’s advice to keep as close to the truth as possible, but remembering again to use his new name, Jackson, rather than his real one.It made him feel a little bolder, like he could reinvent who he was as Jackson.He didn’t have to be the loser kid with the drunk for a mom.“I’m Jackson.I think I’m the youngest here.Eighteen.I just graduated from high school and I’m heading to college in Eugene in the fall.”“What are you taking?” asked Riley.“Microbiology and ecology,” he replied.“That’s awesome.So this is your summer job?” the blond asked with a crooked smile.Evan’s blush was back.“Yeah, kinda.”“And what are you looking forward to the most?” Bran asked.Evan thought about it.If he were being honest, he would say that spending more time with Bran was high up on his list
