Intro:
Being new to this non-gay-friendly workplace is not easy for Cameron until he meets Mykel. Mykel is straight, but somehow knows or senses that Cameron is gay, and takes him under his wing, so to speak. Cameron cannot help but think of the endless possibilities of love and sex with Mykel. The man is gorgeous, with his blue eyes and silver and black hair. When Mykel needs someone to share a hotel room with him for an upcoming conference, Cameron immediately offers. Four days alone with Mykel is Cameron’s dream, but he wonders if it may turn out to be more of a nightmare.
Book Content:
The very best surprise of Cameron’s life came a couple of years ago, and it was completely unexpected. That was when he first met Mykel. Mykel had been nicer to Cameron than any of the other teachers at the college preparatory high school where Cameron had just been hired to teach Latin. Mykel had taken Cameron under his wing, so to speak, in a place that could be described as anything but gay-friendly. Mykel was straight, but somehow knew that Cameron was not, although Cameron had never come right out and told Mykel that he was gay, or anyone else for that matter. Cameron liked teaching at the elite school so far, and it was a good school. To be sure, it had its share of what outsiders called “snobs,” but fewer than many might expect given the cost of tuition as well as the extracurricular costs that often equaled the cost of tuition. Despite its faults, the school guaranteed parents a good education for their children, and almost certain admission into a top college, if they could pay the exorbitant tuition that came with admission to one of those colleges. But, this good college prep school was without a doubt, and with great certainty, definitely not gay-friendly.
Cameron was thirty-three now, nervous, and, he was also afraid that he just might be past his prime. He loved teaching, though it was difficult to make a living at it, and he also knew he was lucky to be teaching here at this particular school. This was a school where there were at least one hundred applicants for every teaching position available, if not two or three times as many. At schools like this one, as Cameron already knew, there seemed to be a social order based on the length of one’s employment, and Cameron had already grown accustomed to being ignored by some of the haughtier senior teachers. He knew that they were waiting to see whether he made it past his probationary period before they took the extra time to learn his name.
Mykel had been teaching at the school for twelve years when Cameron had arrived, but Mykel was unlike the other teachers. During the very first week of classes, Mykel and Cameron met in the faculty mailroom. Mykel had introduced himself, saying, “I’m Mykel Crow, and you are Cameron Stevens, the new humanities teacher, aren't you?” Cameron had nodded, but quickly corrected him. “I teach Latin,” he said, not knowing if he should be correcting this man. Mykel hadn’t seemed to notice being corrected. “Welcome to St. Swithens. Let me know if I can be of any help.”
“Thank you. I’ll do that,” Cameron replied politely, immediately charmed by the warmth of Mykel. In the overly reserved Eastern atmosphere of St. Swithens, this man named Mykel had somehow managed to retain the goodness of his Midwestern roots. He was in his late thirties, Cameron had guessed, though no one thought he looked his age. Mykel was tall and solidly built, with strong patrician features that made him fit right in here in New England. His hair was a beautiful black, or dark brown, and complemented very well a pair of intensely blue eyes. He smiled easily, showing perfectly even white teeth. Mykel was an immensely popular instructor at St. Swithens, or so it seemed to Cameron, and capable of making female students giggle by simply waving a friendly greeting or giving them one of his bright white smiles as he passed them in the hallway.
As an English teacher, Mykel was very well spoken and very precise in his speech, and in his manner. He dressed well, not a wrinkle on him, on either his clothes or his face. Cameron thought Mykel was a gay man's fantasy come to life, and he let his imagination run wild. Then one day he learned that Mykel was married and had been for quite some time, though Cameron noticed that he did not wear a wedding band. Mykel and his wife had two young boys.
