Summary: Jared's a college student in need of fast money. He's got his half of the rent due, fighting to pay for college and keep a job tending bar despite being constantly sexually harassed by the owner's son.
Jensen's a former porn star turned studio co-owner after he went into semi-retirement when a scene with someone he trusted went horribly bad.
Meeting when Jensen saves Jared from a case of mistaken identity & the uncaring act of another actor, the two men from very different worlds, are immediately drawn to the other despite Jared's innocence and Jensen's caution.
A lifetime of being used & belittled makes it hard for Jared to believe when Jensen says he's good enough to not only film but that he wants to get to know him, he finds himself trusting his new boss more when a close call leaves Jared bleeding.
When things from Jensen's past resurface bringing back his own self-doubts, it's up to Jared to convince Jensen that he's good enough to find his own buried dreams even as Jared discovers his own self worth growing with the discovery that a hobby could give him more as he falls deeper and deeper in love with Jensen despite the acts of others.
