First and First
By Santino Hassell
 
A Five Boroughs Story
 
Caleb Stone was raised on the Upper East Side, where wealth and lineage reign, and “alternative lifestyles” are hidden. It took him years to come out to his family, but he’s still stuck in the stranglehold of their expectations. Caleb knows he has to build his confidence and shake things up, but he doesn’t know how… until Oliver Buckley enters the picture.
Oli is everything Caleb isn’t—risk-taking, provocative, and fiercely independent. Disowned by his family, Oli has made his own way in the world and is beholden to no one. After a chance encounter on New Year’s Eve, Caleb is smitten
As Caleb sheds the insecurities that have held him back for years, he makes bold steps toward changing his career and escaping years of sexual repression. But for Caleb to take full control of his life, he has to be brave enough to confront his feelings and trust Oli with his heart.
For the thirtysomethings who are still trying to figure it out.

“Need air.” If I focused, I didn’t slur, but my spinning head made focusing a challenge. “Too many people.”
“Ugh—I know. This place is teeny-tiny, but my new digs in Staten Island will be bigger.” Charles gave an extravagant eye roll, made more dramatic by his false, glittering eyelashes. He wore too much ornamentation for someone so naturally striking. “Not that anyone will visit Landon and me on the Forgotten Borough.”
“Probably not.”
“Well, I know your WASPy ass won’t. Do you even cab it beyond Lower Manhattan?”
“I don’t—” I blinked again. Focus. “I don’t always cab it.” I didn’t take a cab to work. But I wasn’t working. I wasn’t doing anything.
“Uh-huh. Yeah, right.” Charles untangled himself from me. ............
