Awake!

An M/M Romance: What happens when a Jehovah’s Witness rings the wrong doorbell?

He came in a preacher and exited a homosexual.

David isn’t exactly known for his patience, just ask the chef who met a crate of crustaceans up close. Ordered to take a year off from the restaurant business, he’s unprepared for the door-to-door sermons that invade his newly quiet life.

When Sebastian, a young Jehovah’s Witness, turns up at his doorstep, David can’t help noticing the boy’s wandering eyes. And Sebastian can’t stop coming back. What begins as a teasing encounter quickly turns into a crash course in queer awakening, as David finds himself giving the eager convert more than just a few life lessons.

But as sparks fly and boundaries blur, David starts to wonder: once you let a Jehovah’s Witness through the door… how do you get them to leave?

A sharp, sexy, and surprisingly tender short story about desire, self-discovery, and what happens when two very different worlds collide.
