Complexity

Harper Miller

Fairy tale endings weren’t made for people like me. Happy for now usually ain’t in the cards, either.

The dents on my wall from where my headboard kept knockin’ against the same spot was the first clue that I needed to calm my ass down. At the rate I was racking up notches and plowing through hookups, I wasn’t ever gonna find nothing real. Guess I kinda jinxed myself. I created my circumstances. You can’t get what you want if you keep falling back into the same pattern of bad habits. But then things changed. I stumbled onto somethin’ I never in a million years expected to happen. You gotta understand, I’m never the guy who wins. It was supposed to be just sex, but that shifty, rhyming and scheming bastard, Cupid, pulled a fast one.

I may have changed some stuff to protect a couple of people. But before you go believing the tabloids, make sure you understand that you’re gettin’ the lowdown straight from the source.

I needed to get this off my chest and it’s only fair that you at least get my side of it all. At some point, I might regret telling you any of this, but for now, you need to know.

*Disclaimer* This is a novella. Not a short story, novelette, or novel. This tale features an M/M pairing. If gay erotica/erotic romance is not your cup of tea and you are offended by same-sex relationships or crass language, you should bypass this story. Content is intended for a mature audience, 18+.

Complexity is the fourth installment in The Kinky Connect Chronicles. The Kinky Connect Chronicles are short erotic stories/novelettes all wrapped up in neat little bows. These stories are standalones. No cliffhangers in the lot! (Books 1-3 MF)

Excerpt

Could we be more different? Him: famous, rich white dude. Me: Latino entrepreneur who stocked up on ramen noodles and peanut butter when Key Food had a sale. This dude was so beyond my scope but he didn’t act any differently than a hookup I would’ve scored downtown at one of the gay bars in Chelsea.

Honestly, I didn’t know if me taking this shit with Christopher to the next level was a good thing or a bad thing. I held my own. I had my own business and made money legitimately doing shit I loved. Some days were a struggle, and I fell on hard times every now and again, but I woke up with a sense of purpose. Maybe I was overthinking things. I knew this was just about sex, but I couldn’t help but wonder if I was some sort of pity fuck or if Chris had a Latino fetish. He seemed genuinely attracted to me, but you know, there’s always somebody on the web lookin’ to get their rocks off with that token piece of ass.

I needed to stop with the assumptions and just take the moment for what it was, because an opportunity like this wouldn’t ever happen again.

Stayin’ in my head was gonna fuck everything up, so I focused on the twinkling lights near the waterfront seventeen stories down. “Good, I don’t bareback either. If rubbers aren’t required, we ain’t fuckin’. Seems like it’s a little too late to be having this discussion, but I’m clean. I get tested every six weeks. Got a copy of my results in my wallet if you wanna see.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Every six weeks? Sleep around a lot?”

I laughed, pulling off my polo. “I like sex. I like safe sex. I like to be certain I stay safe, so if that means gettin’ tested more often, I’m cool with that.”

Review: I admit that I have not read many stories by this author so was not really sure what to expect from this story. I am not really into stories where the characters are bi-sexual, but only because I am afraid that there will be some girly parts added in. Also the kink factor makes it a bit too much for me; however it really doesn’t come out like that to much in this story.

Manny is basically a man who loves sex and admits that he is pretty much a man-whore. Only a few people know that he is bi-sexual but he is having problems with being in love with a man. A man known to all. Chris is an actor who is afraid that coming out might just damage his acting career. Manny’s life is about to change for ever.

This is a very fast-paced story that was meant to suck you in and keep you captivated with it. The problem for me was that I couldn’t understand the reasoning behind stating he was bi-sexual every time I turned around. I can understand hiding from those who know him, but for me it was repetitive. Also the way the story was written just about drove me nuts. You get to know Manny but not a lot about Chris. There is a lot to like about it, for me it was the humor that I seem to find in it. The characters are flawed and very complex but not hard to get to know.

Now for me the characters were not really people that I would like or connect with at all. The writing was a bit hard for me, but the story was interesting. Manny was too much for me to take in. He is very crass and in some ways was just nasty. I started liking him a bit more near the end, but I still didn’t much care for him. As for Chris the only thing I learned about him, was the fact that he was very selfish and thinks too damn much of himself. The sex between these two was majorly hot though.

I am afraid that if I read the other books in this series then I don’t remember them *The other stories in the series are MF so Lisa wouldn’t have read them*. So I came into this a bit late. I could not connect with the characters or the story at all. I found my mind going somewhere else while I read this and that is not a good thing for me. It just didn’t keep my attention at all so I am not really looking forward to any more stories in this series. I am sorry but this story was just not for me.
