What
would you do if you were a young oil mogul who had been crossed by
your business counterpart, a man who then stopped returning your
calls? Not knowing what else to do after every action he has taken
failed, Luke Garrett decides to kidnap his business partner's son to
gain the man's attention to their shared problem.
Alex
is celebrating his eighteenth birthday by getting drunk with his best
friend--and studiously avoiding the debutantes his father tries to
throw his way--when he finds himself the houseguest of a rather
unconventional abductor. How can this plan possibly go right?
"Hey!"
they cried out.
"I'm
going home with my friend. Let me go!" Alex shouted.
It
was no use. Men in black surrounded him from every angle. He couldn't
see Seth anywhere.
"Seth!"
"Alex!"
"Quiet!"
the first man barked. "Take Mr. Parker away. Go. Now!"
Am
I being kidnapped? Alex's muddled mind slowly understood the
situation as he tried to yank his arms free. He grunted when two men
squeezed his upper arms tightly; their fingers bit into his skin when
they pulled him away.
"Alex!
You let him go, you bastards!"
Alex
looked over his shoulder as he was dragged into a black van. The men
had grabbed Seth and held him down on the ground.
"No."
His head was spinning. "Don't hurt him. It's me you want. Let
him go."
"We're
not going to hurt anyone as long as you obey." The man growled.
Suddenly
Alex felt a prick at the back of his neck. He cried out in pain.
"Wh-what
are you doing?" He tried to reach back but he couldn't. His
knees buckled, darkness gripped him, and suddenly he didn't know any
more.
When
his tutor suggested he pick a favorite book to get more motivated to
learn to read, Axel chose a gay romance novel. He ended up taking the
book everywhere he went, reading it slowly yet repeatedly until he
could recite entire lines. Then his tutor resigned and a new one came
to replace her. Richard is doing research on dyslexia for his next
book by tutoring Axel, but can he remain an impartial observer? Will
working with such an attractive man be possible for Axel? Moreover,
can Richard keep his secrets under wraps?
"What're
you reading?"
"Oh,
this." Axel's face turned scarlet. He made a failed attempt to
cover the title and cover of the book with his hand. Richard hid his
smile and pretended not to know what was going on.
"What's
it about?" he asked, hoping Axel was too flustered to see
through his innocent act.
Axel
shrugged. "Nothing special."
Richard
almost grinned at the "Nothing special" but he kept
his face straight.
"Care
to tell me more?"
"Well,"
Axel started, eyes fixed to the table. "It's about a
millionaire's son whose life is in danger and his father pays a
bodyguard to keep an eye on him. They eventually fall for each other
as they—"
"This
bodyguard—is it a girl?"
For
the second time, Axel blushed. "N-no. It's also a man."
Axel stared at Richard as if challenging him to say something sour
about it. "That a problem for you?"
Richard
arched an eyebrow. If Axel only knew.
"What?
No, not at all. In fact, finding out you like reading that kind of
story makes me really happy." Richard captured Axel's gaze and
they exchanged a long, searching look.
"Huh,"
Axel said quietly as he turned away.
Reading,
watching movies, and being unable to find exactly the thing she
wanted to read have led Iyana to write her own stories, mostly about
man-on-man romance that has fascinated her since as early as the
Starsky and Hutch era. Teaching and writing English course books
during the day, Iyana spends her nights mostly dreaming of love
stories between two men who are protective toward each other.
