On the Down Low

by J. M. Snyder

Overview

Nick's the only white guy at his roommate Tyrone's hip hop party, but Tyrone's friend De'Andre is the center of attention. The moment Nick notices him, he gets sprung. De'Andre is big and black and hot damn, but he's sexy.

Nick feels out of his league -- he's young, he's white, he's gay, and he's desperately looking for a chance to spend some time alone with De'Andre. As much as he hates to admit it, that man is fine.

When Tyrone finally introduces them, De'Andre seems just as interested.

Read an Excerpt

Outside, deep bass beats pounded from an approaching car like thunder. I moved through the crowd, jostling my way toward the front door and the promise of cool night beyond. As I reached the foyer, I caught a glimpse of someone I knew. My roommate Tyrone flashed me a grin, bright against his honey-colored skin, and hollered over the music and noise. "Sounds like De'Andre's here."

Two seconds later the front door opened. De'Andre stood in the doorway like a tangible part of the night broken off and brought to life. His eyes shone like stars set in the smooth black stone of his face. His smile was perfect, full lips pulled back to reveal straight, white teeth. Tight lines of dark hair framed his jaw and mouth and chin, fading up to his shaved head. With movements that matched the music, he entered the apartment. The party dulled in his presence.

He was Tyrone's friend, not mine. Jealousy stabbed through me at the easy way they touched; a hand here, fingers curving there, so intimate, so fast. Then Tyrone nodded at me and I caught my breath when those star-bright eyes turned my way.
