ACROSS THE WAY - PATREON EXCLUSIVE [PREVIEW]

Neighbors one day, lovers the next.

Gail is sitting at her desk working when William appears in the window across the street yet again, but this time is different. He doesn’t offer a simple flirtatious glance. He stares. Then he tells her he wants to hang out.

As much as Gail wants to hang out with William, he’s still a stranger, and she has a long, thick secret between her thighs that William may or may not enjoy.

Across the Way is a short and steamy trans romance story about two neighbors who make eyes through their windows.

ACROSS THE WAY

Man’s First Time with a Trans Woman

Clover Cox

CHAPTER 1

Gail was sitting at her desk working on a drawing for her series of children’s books when she saw her handsome neighbor appear in the window across the breezeway. She had no idea what his name was, but they'd been making eyes at each other for weeks.

But this time, he didn’t just glance. He stared. Direct. Intentional. Like he’d finally decided to break whatever invisible line had kept them apart. Gail’s breath caught, her pencil slipping across the page in a jagged line. Her heart raced from the heat that passed through her body.

She stood, breaking free from the intense moment. She went to her bedroom to pace back and forth, wondering why he’d decided to stare at her today of all days. When she peeked back in the living room, he was still standing at the window like he hadn’t moved an inch. Gail emerged slowly, feeling her cheeks redden from the attention.

He waved.

Her breath caught, but she managed to lift a hand and wave back at him. He pointed towards the ground like he wanted her to meet him on the street, but she wasn’t sure she was up for that. Staring at her neighbor from the window was one thing, but she wasn’t sure about meeting him in person. She’d seen him in their neighborhood a few times but did her best to avoid him.

He frowned when Gail stood motionless, pointing towards the ground yet again. After a few moments of nothing, he pulled out his phone and typed on the screen in huge letters: MEET ME IN FIVE?

Despite her better judgment, Gail agreed.

The man smiled and disappeared from the window, leaving Gail to wonder what in the world she’d agreed to, but she couldn’t let this moment pass without finding out what the man from across the way was all about. She only wondered how he would react when he discovered that she was trans. Gail loved herself and had no problems with who she was, but the world wasn’t always so forgiving.

She went to her bedroom to change quickly. She stepped into her closet, completely at a loss for what to wear. She didn’t want something that would be too sexy. That would make her look like she was trying too hard, but at the same time, she definitely couldn’t go downstairs in her sweatpants. She pushed her hands into her long, curly brown hair and pulled on it.

What in the world was she going to do?

She flipped through her dresses and skirts. It was a warm September night, so she decided on a pair of short shorts with frayed denim and a light pink sweater. She put on pink sneakers as well and pulled her hair back into a bun with a black mini scrunchy that disappeared into the curls. She hadn’t bothered with makeup that day but took a few minutes to fix herself up in the mirror.

By the time she grabbed her purse on the table by the door, over ten minutes had passed, so she ran over to the window to make sure that her handsome stranger was still waiting for her on the street. When she glanced out the window, his eyes met hers. He looked like he didn’t have a care in the world.

She sighed a breath of relief and made her way to the elevator. Her heart began to pound the closer she got to the lobby, but it was honestly a fantasy of hers to meet a man from a window. It was like something out of a movie.

She only hoped that hers had a happy ending.
