John is a 45-year-old law professor. Travis is 25, has finished law school and has just done the BAR exam.
They both hire an online dating service for a fantasy one-night stand on a tropical paradise. Travis wants a sweet, handsome and smart man. He has to be tall, hairy and at least ten years older than him. He wants to feel loved, protected and cared of. John requested a man aged thirty-five to fifty, dark haired, big and tall. When they met, Travis is thrilled because John is his perfect match. But John is mad because Travis is nothing like what he had asked for.
John rejects Travis and he is so upset he wants to complain about the service and wants his money back, but he also wants to know what’s John’s problem with him. John tells Travis he’s not what he had asked for, and that he is sure such a cutie would not be interested in a hairy old man like him. But Travis convinces John he is exactly what he’s always been looking for.
After the misunderstanding is solved, they realize they are just perfect for each other. The chemistry and attraction between them is undeniable. And heat escalates when they start making out.
Although it is only about 20k words, the depth of the characters is real, they are well written and believable. I would love more of them.
This is a sexy, steamy, low-angst short story that I recommend.
