Hands Off

by William Bacon

I’m not gay. Not even a little.
I’m here to prove myself to my new baseball team—keep my head down, play hard, stay focused.

But the second I see Luke—captain, golden boy, stupidly good-looking—something in me starts slipping.
I tell myself it’s stress. New environment. Nothing more.

Then Coach locks us in an abandoned dorm for a week-long “Shut-In.”
No phones. No privacy.
And the one rule designed to break no touching.
Not each other.

Ourselves .

It’s supposed to build discipline.
Instead, it turns every look, every shift of Luke’s shirt, every smirk from Marsh—the tattooed team menace—into pressure under my skin.

I try to hold the line. I swear I do.
But Marsh corners me when I’m at my weakest… and suddenly the line doesn’t exist.
I’m left aching, humiliated, and furious that I still need more.

So I go looking for Marsh again.
But it’s Luke I find waiting.
And the golden boy?
Yeah—he’s not as innocent as he pretends to be.

Now I have to ask myself just how much “team building” I’m willing to do to get some relief…

Hands Off is a fast, filthy, high-heat short read about a “straight” jock cracking under a no-touch punishment week, a bad-boy detour, and a golden boy who turns out to be the real danger. If you love forbidden team tension, forced proximity, and a bisexual awakening you can’t put down—welcome to the Shut-In.
