... "walking sex [...] He strutted and gyrated around as if he was the hottest man to ever walk the earth, yet he smiled and laughed from time to time at something one of the closer fans said. He looked friendly and approachable. And like he was having just as much fun as all the women were.Turns out Tyler gets paid to attend social functions, parties, etc. As he says “Lots of people need to have a boyfriend for the weekend." Lamont's extended family in Lavender Shores has been trying to set him up for years and rather than suffer yet another family gathering of well-meaning matchmakers, Lamont hires Tyler to be his pretend boyfriend for Andrew and Joel's baby shower; he'll make the family happy and then break-up with Tyler a few weeks afterward.
His hand traveled up my spine and came to rest on the back of my head.
I had no thoughts, nothing concrete. Just the kiss, the warmth and hardness of his body against mine, the cradle of his hand against my head. I felt his stiffness against my own, but even that arousal was far away. I didn’t know Lamont, and he most definitely didn’t know me, but for just that moment, he was… everything. And from the protective strength of his embrace, I knew I was his everything too.
There were countless details Lamont didn’t know about my life or about me. And there were just as many I didn’t know about him. But he knew me. In a way, more than anyone else ever had.
And I knew him.
