Another long beat of silence. “Not likely. You were special, Den.”
The shower shut off down the hall, and I knew it was only a matter of time before Edison came and found me again. I knew he wasn’t going to give up that easily. How was I going to deflect his advances when the mere sight of him stirred all the feelings I’d buried to the surface? Edison wasn’t Harley, but they were so alike in many ways it made Edison hard to resist.
I loved his smart mouth and his thin frame. I loved the way he knew what he wanted and would stop at nothing to get it. He was feisty and confident, carefree and reckless—like his father—and it loosened a twenty-year-old knot in my chest. Harley had been the only person who’d been able to help me relax and have fun. I missed those days. I’d yearned for them for twenty years.
Until Edison had shown up last August.
We’d crossed lines.
We’d done things together that we probably shouldn’t have.
I was his uncle. Once again, the familial boundary had been broken.
But neither of us had cared at the time.
Apparently, the past was doomed to repeat itself.
“Did I lose you?” Harley asked. His voice on the other end of the line was distant and quiet.
“I’m here.”
“You know, it’s been over with her for five years, Den. If you wanted it, if you truly missed it like you claim, you could have done something about it. You know I’d have never turned you away.”
He was right. So why was I resisting now?
Edison showed up in the doorway, a towel wrapped around his hips and a mischievous smile that rivaled his father’s splayed across his face.
I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Rivulets of water he hadn’t bothered drying ran down his hairless chest. The treasure trail leading below his towel made my mouth water, remembering what it hid and all we’d explored in August.
This was never going to work. I was a weak, weak man.
“You can’t leave him here, Harley.” My voice rasped out of me. Edison knew. He saw the truth on my face. “This is going to end badly.”
Harley chuckled. “He’s a force to be reckoned with, isn’t he?”
“Just like his father. Harley, please. I’m begging you. I’m not strong enough to take a stand. You know me.”
“I do. But before I jump to your rescue, let me ask you this. Who do you want more, Den? And I’m serious because I’ll break down your fucking walls and be back in your bed in a heartbeat if you’ll let me. I’ve waited for you long enough. Fuck rules. Fuck social norms. But I need to know. Me or Edison?”
A swell of silence surrounded us, then I answered honestly. “Both. I want you both.”
Join Harley, Denver, and Edison in Rule Breakers, coming December 2020. An MMM taboo with a father, a son, and a brother/uncle. It doesn’t get much better than this.

Sinfully Mine
Four years ago, mistakes were made, lines were crossed, rules were broken.
It was wrong, and it never should have happened.
But, the past refuses to stay buried, wrongs start feeling right, and lines begin to blur.
Sometimes, the heart wants what the heart wants, and nothing will stand in its way.
Consequences be damned. Rules be damned.
Sometimes, secrets are sinfully delicious.
Secrets & Lies
I didn’t plan for him to come into my life. He came without warning. Without permission.
I didn’t want him there, and a small part of me loathed his very existence.
But then something changed.
Overnight, he became everything to me.
I loved him. I cherished him. He was mine. But they took him from me. They tore him from my life with such cruelty, my heart wept.
My soul cried.
For years I went without him.
Until… He was back. And everything had changed. Our bond was deeper. Our needs greater. He was my addiction.
But it was dangerous. Too dangerous to hold on to. Too dangerous to keep. Loving him like this wasn’t safe.
Loving him… was wrong.
End Scene
Atticus Charming’s spectacular announcement of his sexuality backfired, leaving him penniless, crashing in his friend’s basement, working a part-time job at a local gas station for minimum wage, and without the funds to pay for his last year of university.
This hard dose of reality after having lived a spoiled rich-kid lifestyle leaves Atticus grasping at straws to fix his precarious and unappealing situation.
When a job opportunity presents itself, Atticus knows he can’t turn it down. The money is too enticing. It’s the answer to all his problems.
It’s just a some racy pictures and a few suggestive videos, right? No big deal.
But there is a catch. This job can’t be done solo, and the one other person who needs to be involved might not agree with Atticus’s desperate plan.
Morals and ethics go out the window. Real and fake start blending together.
Can Atticus fulfill the obligations of the job without crossing too many boundaries?
And what happens when the scene ends and the feelings don’t?
