Illustrated Queer Smutty Stories (Queering Consent)

by Nicholai Avigdor Melamed (Author)

Alex Mazor is a transmasculine horror artist struggling to make a living in Toronto. When he invites a patron home to model for his next project, his motives aren't purely artistic. But Matt Connors, local fantasy geek and perpetual DM-without-a-party, is an unlikely model and even stranger bedfellow. Follow along as their relationship unfolds, from a steamy modeling session to some exhibitionism at an art exhibit, and a road trip that pushes the pair to bring their trust to a new level. Amid exploring one another’s kinks and insecurities, will they be brave enough to find intimacy as well?
