The Day Pass<\/em> (2021) Slade James<\/a> (Bear Camp)<\/p>\n

\"TheAlthough he has to work that night, Kevin is going to enjoy himself and spend the day at Bear Camp. He doesn’t expect anything except a day in he sun and maybe a quick hookup, but his new-to-him truck came with a dragonfly sticker, and maybe that’s a sign.<\/p>\n

He might have been my age, early fifties, maybe a few years older, and he was huge. He had to be over six foot five with shoulders as wide as a refrigerator. He was handsome with short dark-blond hair and a well-groomed golden beard.<\/p>\n

He reminded me of a superhero on the down low, trying to be incognito and failing at it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I really love that both characters are middle age and working men. <\/p>\n

I was a little on the short side at five eight, but I\u2019d done hard work all my life, and I was in decent shape, especially for my age. Nobody would\u2019ve guessed it from looking at me, but I\u2019d also taken up yoga several years ago to help with back pain and stress. There weren\u2019t any classes in my neck of the woods, but I\u2019d taught myself by watching YouTube videos.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He’s just an average guy, and it’s something you rarely come across in romances.<\/p>\n

Plus, since it’s a short story, there’s no boinking, so the whole story was discovery and talking, and rather sweet.<\/p>\n
