Merrick: The Lord Won't Mind






Plot / Content:                              Rating: G

"GAY IS BEAUTIFUL!

"And The Lord Won't Mind is a completely honest, sensitive novel of two men, Charlie and Peter, who meet, discover each other, and fall wonderfully in love.

There is no sensationalism, no subterfuge, no apologies - but in its candor this is the most moving and outspoken novel about homosexuality ever written!"

(from the cover - note that two other Charlie and Peter novels followed.)

"He felt terribly exposed, fearful that Peter might turn and see him. He checked the position of the towel on the floor. He could always grab it and run for the bathroom if it turned out that he had misjudged his companion after all. He took a deep breath and made an effort to steady the trembling of his hands. Peter was gripping his lowered shorts. Charlie slipped the tape against his hips and led it around along his lower abdomen until his hand encountered crisp coils of hair. He paused, pretented to straighten the tape, fumbled skillfully, retrieved it with a quick flick of his lowered hand. It encountered a hard knot of sex contained in the shorts. He expelled a long sigh of relief as the knowledge of victory burst over him, and felt no longer exposed but proudly prepared."
