Chance to be King by Sue BrownPublisher: Dreamspinner Press; 2 edition (December 17, 2014)
Amazon Kindle: Chance to be King
After working nonstop for two years, actor Eric Pawlowski desperately needs a respite from his grueling schedule and the crippling migraines that come with it. Thinking that a few weeks in a secluded cottage is just the thing, his vacation gets off to a rough start when he almost mows down the only other guy who lives on the remote road. Fortunately Thomas is quick to forgive, and soon he, Eric, and Eric's two dogs are palling around like they've known each other for years.
But when Eric witnesses Thomas coldly order a lost stranger off his property, he starts to question how well he knows him. Despite a mutual attraction that has Eric cursing every time a well-meaning member of the nearby small town interrupts their attempts to get intimate, Eric wonders if acting on his desire for Thomas will get him involved in a situation he shouldn't be in. When his rented cabin catches fire in the middle of the night and the firemen call it arson, it confirms Eric’s suspicions.
To keep Eric with him, it's up to Thomas to come clean about who he is... and his involvement in a decade-old web of tragedy and revenge into which Eric has unwittingly walked.
Excerpt
THOMAS HAD lied.
Eric told him so when he got his breath back. The lake wasn’t cold—it was fucking freezing.
Even the dogs had given it up as a bad idea and were meandering along the shoreline. Thomas would have a hard job finding Eric’s balls, because Eric swore they were trying to climb back into his body.
Thomas offered to look for him. Eric told him it would be a cold day in Hell before Thomas would get anywhere near him or his junk. “You don’t mean that.” Thomas stood up in the water and started advancing toward him.
The water level was just lapping along his hipbones. He was all muscles and taut skin, broad shoulders and narrow hips. “I mean it.” But it sounded weak, even to Eric’s own ears. His attention was firmly fixed elsewhere.
Elsewhere was beautiful. “You don’t want me to touch you, Ric?” That low, husky drawl was hardwired to his dick, Eric was sure of it. This was unfair. How could Eric be expected to concentrate when Thomas employed such sneaky weaponry?
He cleared his throat. “Touching is… good.”
“I like touching, as well.” Thomas assured him as he stepped up close to Eric.
“I like touching hot men, and you are definitely the hottest man I have ever seen. May I?” That he was asking permission as they stood naked together was oddly touching, even if Eric was trying to push away the image of Thomas touching hot men, lots of them.
Eric nodded and bit his lip as Thomas wrapped his hand around Eric’s dick, their cold skin warming swiftly just there as Eric grew thick and full under Thomas’s touch.
Thomas slid his other hand around Eric’s hip until he was cupping Eric’s ass, pulling him in closer. Then they were standing flush together, Thomas’s hand trapped between them, the water lapping about their thighs. Eric wasn’t paying any attention to the cold anymore.
Thomas tilted his head. His eyes were dark, their pupils blown as Eric bent down eagerly to kiss him
