Make Me Hard
As Mathias and Gunner are on a weekend getaway, they can't help but marvel at the service of cabana server Ty Mitchell. It's not technically company policy to engage in fraternization with the guests, but Ty always goes above and beyond the call of duty. Simon Evans is sad that his recent breakup has left him alone, but for best buddy Princeton Price, it’s now his time to make a move on him. When Evan Landers' parents discover he's into guys, it puts a damper on the weeklong getaway he just had with Michael Boston. Instead of going back, Michael tells him he can stay as long as he wants, whipping out his dick as Evan smiles. Nathan Styles doesn't mind a little personal invasion from a private stranger. New neighbor Quin Quire is just the sort of new stranger he needs in his life, and when he finds Quin poking around his property, he asks if he'd like to come in and poke around something else.
