Comic Boy: A Grumpy/Soft Straight-to-Gay MM Romance Novella

I’ve been drawing him naked in my sketchbook for months. I never expected him to walk off the page...

JULIAN
I’m a struggling artist trying to break into the industry, living off ramen and hope.
But my secret weapon isn't my portfolio. It's Calder—the hero of my comic. Broad shoulders, bruised knuckles, and an unreadable scowl.

He’s the kind of man I could only ever dream up.
Until I see him. In the real world. Building a booth at the convention center.

His name is West. He’s a contractor. A massive, grumpy wall of muscle who catches me staring.
I ask him to pose for me. Just for art. Just a study.
But when he comes to my apartment and strips down—when he sees the other drawings in the back of my book—he doesn't leave. He decides to bring them to life.

WEST
I don’t get involved. My life is build the job, take the check, move on.
Especially not with wide-eyed art students who blush when I look at them.

But Julian looks at me like I’m a myth. Like I’m a hero.
I should walk away. But when he asks me to pose, something about the way he holds that pencil makes me want to give him everything.
He’s sweet. Soft. But he doesn’t flinch when I press him up against the wall. He wants me like I’m already his.
