Pumped: Gymbos, Book 2

For most of his life, Jax has considered the gym a hostile environment—a place better suited for textbook-reading nerds to avoid at all costs. But when a chance encounter at a local fitness center leaves him feeling strangely invigorated, he decides to trade his comfort zone for the weight room. To his total surprise, the physical challenge doesn't just build muscle; it ignites a profound sense of gender euphoria he hadn't realized he was missing. However, Jax’s biggest motivation isn’t the gains—it’s Butch. Butch is everything Jax is not: a golden-retriever-natured, ultra-masculine jock who treats the gym like a sanctuary of sweat and intensity. As Butch steps into the role of personal trainer, he brings a level of devotion and attention that makes Jax’s heart race faster than any cardio circuit. Jax is convinced he’s just an awkward bookworm hopelessly out of his league with a gym god, but the chemistry between them is impossible to ignore. As they spend more time spotting one another, the line between training partner and romantic interest begins to blur. Can Jax find the strength to believe he’s worthy of his dream guy, or will he let his insecurities keep him bench-pressed?
