WIP: Craven

Right now I'm working on a new piece for Risky Ink. It's a contemporary M/M. It's the third in my First Series. In this one the main hero is Craven. He's a sexy tattooed and pierced musician. He, his friend, and his sister all know and have accepted that he's gay, but he's never slept with another man.

He's just returned to his hometown after failing to get his music career off the ground. He's decided he willl do what everyone else is doing, get a regular office job. His best friend, his sister's ex from high school has agreed to help him. But not that Craven is back in home, he can't avoid the feelings he's had for Trevor all these years.

Craven and Trevor are opposites. Trevor's idea of dressing down is unbuttoning his suit jacket. Craven has lived in ratty jeans and tees all his life. He's got a pierced tongue, eyebrow, lip, and both ears. His tattoos extend all over his chest, down his arms, and onto his fingers. He thinks he'll never fit in at work with Trevor--and really he doesn't.

But no matter what Trevor will be there to help Craven find out where he belongs. And just maybe Craven will discover he's been wrong about his heterosexual friend all these years.

While this piece is contemporary, I listened to David Bowie while writing it. In particular, this piece (LOL):
