The Clairvoyant Camboy by Lance Lansdale
Bubba
Johnny has been my best friend for a decade. He’s lived with me half that time. Coming from a small town in Arkansas, my buddy was raised like hillfolk. He didn’t even know being gay was an option until he moved to Texas, so when I kissed him after a night of platonic cuddling in my bed, it’s no wonder he high-tailed it the next morning. For years, we spent our days welding at the machine shop, and our nights at my trailer in the country. He was my other half. My himbo best bro. I should have waited for him to come home to me. I tried to wait.
But then I met Ezra, a needy, codependent twink who streams X-rated psychic sessions for his adoring public. No one adores him more than I do, though. His parents kicked him out when he was thirteen, and he’s been on his own ever since, doing whatever it took to survive. All I want is to protect him. To cherish him. To share him with my Johnny Boy.
If this trailer park throuple is ever going to get off the ground, my boys have to let go of their jealousy and realize we’re better together than apart. Ezra needs the sense of stability Johnny and I provide. Johnny needs someone to look out for, but he needs someone to look out for him just as much. With my wife and son living half a country away, I’ve got more than enough love to spare. My boys can play coy all they want. They know what the f**k this is, and they know where the f**k it’s going.
The Clairvoyant Camboy is an unhinged MMM romcom. It is book two of The Core Four, but can be read as a standalone, though it’s best enjoyed after The Trailer Park Twink.
