Military dudes wanted for TikTok series: Read spicy book lines with a straight face

We’re looking for real military or former military men to film short, deadpan readings of over-the-top alpha male and spicy lines from the books—think intense, dramatic, and smutty.

No pay, just for fun—but there’s legit exposure: the TikTok account posting these (@intodarkromance) already has a viral post with 7 million+ views, and you’ll be tagged (if you want) so new followers can find you.

Here’s what it involves:

We send you 8-10 spicy/dark romance lines.

You film a short phone video reading them in your best serious-face delivery. It’s ideal if you don’t read them before you film so we get your reaction.

You upload it to a Dropbox link we give you and let us know if you want tagged.

That’s it. Takes 5 minutes, tops.

Only info we ask: what branch you’re in (or served in), and whether you’re active duty or a veteran. You can be shirtless, but that’s as far as TikTok will let us go on wardrobe. 😅

If you’re interested—or know someone else who might have fun with this—drop an email to afterdark@jackandlainey.com. We’re building a lineup now and would love to feature you.

Here’s an example of the vibe. Read for us.
