Boys of the Fast Lane

by Zack

  “Gil …”

  “Mike. I was expecting you tomorrow.”

  “How long were you there listening?”

  Gil took three steps forward with a bright smile. “Long enough.” He met Mike as he rose from the sofa. The two men fell into each other’s arms in the kind of hug that looked like it might go on forever.

  Mike Benson looked on, unsure whether he felt happy at the reunion or uncomfortable in its presence. From the way they had both told their story he’d assumed Gil and Mike had long ago gone their own ways. Now he was uncertain. They only broke from the full-on kiss at his polite cough. “So … you’re still really together after all?”

  They disengaged, both smiling broadly. Gil spoke first. “We’re often on opposite sides of the world—that goes with the job—but never apart.”

  Mike Smith placed his left arm familiarly around Mike Benson’s shoulder and his right around Gil, pulling him close. “Whatever happens, whatever we get up to, nothing’s ever come between Gil ’n’ me.” He turned his gaze on Gil’s luminous gray eyes. “I’ve always wanted you … down here,”—pointing at his package—“and up here,”—tapping the side of his head—“and mostly right here”—brushing his chest.

  Mike Benson colored with confused embarrassment. “I … I don’t understand how you must have coped then. Like … what happened next?”

  Mike Smith looked at the younger man with a wicked grin, the one Mike Benson just knew had once melted Gil Graham’s heart and warmed his loins. “My stomach’s rumbling from jet-lag starvation, so let’s go for an early dinner, and then I say we crash on that huge bed of Gil’s and both of us can tell you what happened next—”

  Gil snuffled a quiet laugh. “Yeah, in our own way.”

  Gil and Mike return in Boys of Twin Tracks. But coming soon—visit Mike’s turbulent youth before he met Gil, in Boy of the West End …

  About the Author

  Born in Switzerland, Oliver Frey a.k.a. Zack ended up in London and, after attending film school, plunged into gay art and publishing. Innumerable illustrations poured from his pen and brush for British magazines HIM International, Vulcan, Teenage Dreams, the HIM Gay Library series, and Mister magazine (which published the late-period Rogue stories). For HIM he created the mold-breaking Rogue comic strip and later The Street, which was part of the inspiration behind cult TV series Queer As Folk. The Internet has spread his reputation to an enormous global fan base through many sites and blogs. Some of his comic-strip work has been published recently by Bruno Gmünder— Bike Boy, Hot For Boys: the Sexy Adventures of Rogue, and Bike Boy Rides Again. As Zack, Frey has taken gay erotic art and comics to new dimensions. He lives with life-long partner Roger Kean in a medieval town on the edge of Wales.

  British-born author Roger Kean, who met Oliver at film school, has had careers as a movie cameraman, film editor, journalist, and magazine and book editor. As an author he has written books on historical subjects both factual and fictional, and gay fiction, including Boys of Vice City, Boys of Disco City, Boys of Two Cities, and Boys of the Fast Lane.

  “The encounters that fill each chapter make for an enjoyable Roman romp with the main character Gil Graham. It is also a coming of age story as Gil discovers more of the real world and what you have to do to make your way in it.” Amazon review

  “This excellent work has extraordinary pen and ink illustrations which are pure artistic genius.” Amazon review

  “The secret of the book’s success is that Gil is genuinely innocent as well as insatiably horny, his charm is captivating and the adventures arousing. A classic.” Amazon review

  “An entertaining story graphically conveying a young man’s enthusiasm for gay sex… enhanced by beautiful illustrations by Zack. The sense of sexual heat is palpable. While there is plenty of gung-ho sex throughout, there is also a friendship that brings things to a nice conclusion. Don’t look here for angst, look here for a keen appreciation of the body’s pleasures. Something worth celebrating, in my opinion.” Author Brandon Fox

  “I loved this tale of a young American boy thrown into the hustling world of an Italian movie set. Poor Gil is so naive and innocent but life comes pounding on his back door in this great book. A poignant and at times sad story as Gil wakes up to the realities of life. He gets himself in some tight scrapes but always comes out with a smile on his face and some new experience under his belt. The graphics help to paint a vivid picture and bring the characters to life.” Author Summer Michaels

  “Oh my lord! Where to start? Firstly, you just can’t go wrong with a horny twink with a heart of gold, who just so happens to shag everything that moves. Well, yeah, you can, but not in this case. Not only loads and loads of explicit and incredibly hot sex, but also a well written, interesting story, and a really cute sighable love story. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better—all this sexy loveliness is illustrated! This is the sexiest, horniest, turn-on of a sexy, sexy story ever.” Goodreads review

  Boys of Disco City

  Escaped from movie mogul James Rosen’s depraved clutches in Rome, Gil Graham and boyfriend Mike Smith head for London to. To Gil, it’s a puzzling place, but life is cool, and horny sex-action cements their love. Disco dancing, hot backroom action, cruising Hampstead Heath, and a porn-movie shoot are all part of Gil and Mike’s adventures. But can the idyll last once Rosen turns up, bent on revenge? A trip to New York climaxes with a brutal showdown that threatens the lovers, future_and Gil’s life. Can Mike summon the courage to sacrifice what he holds dearest?

  “Boys of Disco City is the following story of Gil Graham’s initial adventures in Rome as a production assistant detailed in Boys of Vice City. Disco City as the name implies tends to centre about the landmark hedonistic palaces of pleasure of London and New York in 1980. Where the long gone Backroom and public sex areas are now a memory of a lost generation of young men, but described here for us all to imagine what it might have been like if we had been able to go ourselves. A great bedside book.” Goodreads review

  “Now in London—seen entertainingly through Gil’s suprised American eyes, the career of the two guys in film seems like taking off, along with their raunchy sex life. Zack’s brilliant and explicitly
erotic drawings add to the sexual excitement of a zesty story which reads like a combination of the Joys of Gay Sex (only far less inhibited) and a Boy’s Own adventure. It is rousing and arousing stuff: fun, fast-paced and deliciously lewd.” Amazon review

  “The reason for the success of these books lies not only in the content of immediate erotic gratification for the reader, but also in the fact that the two main characters are young lads whose affinity for each other is strong and yet despite their apparent worldliness they retain a modicum of innocence that make their adventures pose the dichotomy between youth and adult.” Amazon review

  Boys of Two Cities

  Cruelly split to escape Hollywood tycoon James Rosen, bitter Gil Graham and guilt-ridden Mike Smith are forced to rebuild their lives, continents apart. Only work_and plenty of exciting but vicarious sex_stop their loveless lives falling apart. How can either of them possibly cope without their lost friend and soulmate? While Mike endures Rosen’s vicious attentions in London, Gil chases solace in fleeting encounters in Venice Beach and Los Angeles. Then fate strikes in a surprising way_and suddenly Mike is free to pursue the dream of reuniting with his wronged buddy. If he can find him … Seemingly insurmountable obstacles face his desperate quest as he strives to make the boys of two cities lovers in one.

  “Zack’s illustrations are arousingly erotic and Mike and Gil continue to combine guileless charm with a deliciously unbridled lust for the hottest of sexual partners as they make their amorously adventurous way to an orgasmically satisfying renunion and reconciliation.” Amazon review
