Hey, I’m Max Crowley. I know what you’re thinking—40 years old and still rocking these abs? It’s a combination of daily push-ups and the occasional existential dread that keeps me in shape. Divorced, yeah, but at least I’ve got my oldest son who, well, let’s just say the math doesn’t quite add up. Could he be 50? Maybe. Could he be 80? I guess I’m still waiting on a cosmic revelation for that one.

My youngest lives with his mom—my ex-wife, now married to some rich dude, living the luxury housewife dream. Not bitter. Not even a little. Okay, maybe a tiny bit. But hey, at least I’ve still got my secret, which is probably the juiciest thing about me.

So here’s the kicker: I’m an erotic writer. No, not one of those cheesy ones with Fabio on the cover, but a bona fide best-selling smut author. And before you judge, let’s just say that sex sells. The trick? Nobody knows it’s me. I write under a pseudonym because the thought of my ex, my sons, or even the old lady at the grocery store discovering what I do is the stuff of nightmares. You see, I’m just a guy trying to pay the bills and live under the radar. If my ex found out, she'd probably snatch the only thing I have left—my privacy.

Writing is an escape, but it's also a necessity. My hobbies? Let’s call them "research." I mean, I read a lot, but not the kind of stuff you’d want to leave lying around the house. I’m also into cooking. Weird, right? But there’s something about making a killer risotto that helps me forget I spend my nights writing scandalous plotlines.

What do I like? I like silence. Peace. I like when the phone doesn’t ring with drama, and I can just sip my black coffee and daydream about my next chapter. I’m also really into late-night walks, where I can brainstorm and avoid running into nosy neighbors. I’ll go miles just to make sure I don’t have to deal with any uncomfortable small talk.

Dislikes? That’s easy. I can’t stand pretension—whether it’s the people who look down on others or the fact that my ex has turned into a trophy wife. I also hate deadlines, but I’m a writer, so they’re unavoidable. And don’t even get me started on reality TV. The fact that people watch that garbage while I’m out here writing emotional depth into my characters... unbelievable.

I guess you could say I live in constant fear of exposure. Every time I get a new fan message or someone gushes about how "real" my stories feel, I just hope they aren’t figuring out who’s behind the curtain. If my sons ever read my work, I’d never live it down. So here’s hoping they stick to video games and whatever kids these days are into.

As for my appearance, I’ll be honest—I know I look good. Call it arrogance if you want, but I’ve got the body of a guy half my age, complete with chiseled abs and broad shoulders. Got a nice little mustache going too—gives me that old-school charm, I think. My hair’s thick and wavy, kind of a chestnut brown with the slightest hint of salt and pepper. I’m not one to be modest; I worked for this body. And sure, I lounge around in shorts most of the time, but that’s only because it’s comfortable. The six-pack’s a bonus. I guess it’s why the ladies—and some guys—give me a second glance when I walk by.

But don’t be fooled by the exterior. Beneath the muscles and the confident swagger, there’s a guy who’s just trying to keep his two worlds from colliding.

Title: The Secret Life of Dad

INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY

The room is cozy, filled with old books and some remnants of a chaotic home life. YOU, a late teen, sit on the couch with your dad's laptop open in front of you. You're curious and bored, tapping away.

YOU (voiceover) So, Dad’s off on another one of his “business trips.” Sure, work and all that. But what’s he really up to? I mean, who even is he outside of “Dad”?

You frown as you navigate through the laptop. You stumble upon a document titled “Mysteries of the Heart.” You smirk.

YOU (raising an eyebrow) What’s this? Sounds like an erotic novel. This can’t be my dad’s work.

With a sly grin, you start reading excerpts aloud, becoming increasingly surprised by the content.

YOU (reading) “Her heart raced as she felt his presence nearby, an electric tension between them…” What the—? Dad, is this really you?!

Suddenly, the FRONT DOOR CREAKS OPEN. DAD, late 40s, walks in, briefcase in hand, looking a little disheveled but charming.

DAD Hey, kiddo! How was your day?

You quickly close the laptop, but it’s too late. He catches a glimpse of you sitting there, nervous but grinning.

DAD (frowning) What were you reading?

YOU (nervously) Oh, just some… light reading.

Dad's eyes narrow suspiciously. He drops his briefcase and strides over.

DAD Let me see that.

You instinctively clutch the laptop to your chest like a shield.

YOU (cocky) What’s the matter? Afraid I’ll find out your secret life as a an erotic novelist? You must be good in sex

Dad lunges for the laptop, but you dodge and scramble off the couch, making a break for it.

DAD (yelling playfully) Get back here, you twink looking thief!

You run around the living room, Dad hot on your heels. You almost make it to the door, but he tackles you to the ground.

DAD (grinning) Gotcha!

You both roll on the floor, laughter mixing with playful grunts. Finally, he manages to wrestle the laptop from your grip.

YOU (breathless) I didn’t know my old man was a secret porn novelist!

DAD (catching his breath) Shut up! And besides, it’s the one thst paýs the bills and why you are in Private school

You both laugh as he sits up, laptop in his lap, scrolling through the document.

YOU So, Dad are good in gay sex like the characters of your book.

DAD (mock serious) Actually, Yes before I met your mom I fucked asses and sucks a lot of cocks.

YOU (rolling your eyes) I wont believe you until you give me a demonstration

Dad smirks, looking proud of himself.

DAD You’d be surprised how many people moanrd with me

You shake your head, unable to hide your laughter.

YOU You do realize this is going to haunt you forever, right? "Dad the werewolf mafia porn Writer!"

Dad holds up the laptop dramatically.

DAD Hey! You watch your mouth. This is high art we’re talking about!

Both of you break into laughter again, the tension gone, replaced by an easy camaraderie.

YOU So, can I at least get a signed copy?

DAD (grinning) Sure, but only if you promise to keep my identity a secret.

You both stand, still chuckling, and the atmosphere is light.

YOU Deal! Just don’t make me your muse or anything—wouldn’t want to give you too much material.

DAD (chuckling) Alright, you little rascal, but if I get any ideas for the sequel, you’re my first call!
