Chapter One
When Acer first started out, he had dreams of becoming the next Walter Cronkite.
He thought he’d be reporting important political events that helped shape the nation and
mold the world. He’d daydreamed in journalism class about meeting presidents, attending
White House dinners, and sitting with heads of state. And he wanted to do it all openly,
as a gay man with nothing to hide.
He never imagined he’d wind up, eight years later, in the back seat of a twenty-
year-old black Lincoln Continental limousine, stripping down to a leopard-print thong in
the middle of Times Square.
Acer wasn’t even his real name. It was one of those pop-culture stage names that
stood alone, without a last name. His real name was Allan Nottingham. And he was
determined to keep both names separate.
It was a warm Friday afternoon in June. The sidewalks of Times Square were
jammed with pedestrians, the street was filled with traffic, and they were waiting for
Allan to get out of the limo and finish the final scene of a new episode of The Naughty
Boiz. The director was the star, the producer, and the creator of the show: Mikey Phoenix.
The Naughty Boiz was a syndicated half-hour television show about idiotic young guys
with too much testosterone doing stupid pranks and trying to pull off lame stunts in
public.

Mikey Phoenix had hired Allan in the first season for small stunts, back when no
one thought a show like this would ever become a hit series on cable TV. Allan had taken
the job because he’d needed fast money. But as the show gained ratings beyond what
anyone ever could have predicted, Allan’s small stunts and pranks became so popular
with viewers he’d practically become the star of the show. People couldn’t wait to see the
next stunt he’d do wearing nothing but a leopard thong.
Allan kicked off his shoes, removed his socks, and pulled down his pants. While
he was pulling his white T-shirt off, there was a knock on the limousine window and
Mikey Phoenix opened the back door. “Are you almost ready, buddy?” Mikey asked.
“After this, we’ll wrap up for the day.”
Allan covered his private parts with the T-shirt. He lowered his eyebrows and said,
“Close the door. I don’t want anyone looking in.” He wasn’t completely nude. He was
wearing the sheer leopard thong he always wore during his ridiculous stunts. “I’ll be
ready in a minute.” Allan didn’t care about Mikey seeing him. He and Mikey were also
best friends, but Allan didn’t want anyone on the street looking into the car.
Mikey rubbed his jaw and laughed. “Don’t get all upset,” he said. “No one can see
inside except me. Besides, the entire world is going to be seeing you like this on
television. What’s the big deal? You’ve got a great ass.” Though Mikey was straight, he
was always talking about Allan’s great ass.
“It’s different,” Allan said. Mikey was a typical straight guy; he never understood
these things. “When I’m doing a scene, I’m working and no one can see my face. I’m in
character. I’m not me anymore.”
