Corrupting Chris: an erotic Five Boroughs short

About this book

Summer, 2011, Queens. Chris Mendez has just moved into his first tiny apartment on Jamaica Avenue, with a busted air conditioner, a prized TV and a reputation on the block for having no sex life at all. His oldest friend Raymond, sarcastic, gorgeous and impossible to read, and the fearless, sex-positive Stephanie keep turning up at his place whenever they need somewhere private. Stephanie has teased Chris for years about "corrupting" him. Today, with the heat turned up and the line between watching and joining in growing thinner, the joke starts to feel like an invitation. Nineteen years of friendship are about to meet a very different kind of curiosity. Corrupting Chris is an explicit, steamy prequel short set four years before the events of Santino Hassell's Five Boroughs. Told in Chris's funny, self-deprecating first-person voice, it is packed with Nuyorican neighbourhood flavour, banter, handball-court nostalgia and plenty of heat. It is a quick read of roughly 5,400 words, ideal for fans of M/M romance and contemporary erotica who want more of Chris and Raymond's backstory. This title contains explicit sexual content and is intended for adult readers only. Buy now and start reading online instantly in your browser, with no app or download needed.
