Root-Bound

A thoughtful, sensual and highly erotic account of a young gay man's sexually charged relationship with his childhood best friend, Emelia. Paul cannot refuse Emelia a place to stay in Berlin when she asks. Quarantined in his Kreuzberg apartment full of the plants he has meticulously tended, the friends are constant companions, cooped up together and even sleeping in the same bed. Paul is beset by sexual frustration, yearning to satisfy himself, unable to do so with her in the apartment. In bed while Emelia showers one morning, he reflects on their past, and on his frustration. It turns out Emelia has frustrations of her own, and when she starts to reveal them, Paul is unable to resist. His attraction to Emelia makes him question himself, whereas her pansexual attitude suggests that sex with a woman needn't make him less gay. They share a blissful experience, satisfying their desires while preserving their long-standing friendship.

Coward Huntington writes in a straightforward yet beautiful and poetic way. His stories follow characters who are young, hungry for love, and a little bit naive. This combination of naivety and expressiveness makes the sexual scenes especially enchanting and fun to read. Huntington creates a world of romance where people explore their sexual preferences and sometimes fall victims to unrestrained desires. BERLINABLE is not simply a publisher, we are a community. We create a network of people who are connected by their need to be free and explore their sexuality. Our talented authors either write from experience or are pro connoisseurs of their writing topics. This authenticity is what makes our books so special.
