Synopsis
Ten years ago, Dominic Walsh faked his own death. With no true identity, it wasn’t hard. But if he’d stayed, he would have been drawn further into a life he’d never chosen. He has friends and family at Ward Security now and has managed to escape his dark past. There is only one thing he truly wants.
Abraham Stephens.
When Dom was first tasked with watching over his friend’s father, he didn’t expect to fall so hard for the gorgeous silver fox. But Abe is interested in friendship only. He’s at a point in his life where he wants something permanent, not a romp with the sexy redhead who happens to be the same age as his son.
But Abe finds himself drawn deeper into Dom’s life when cryptic messages start appearing—ones that frighten the skilled security specialist. The more Dom tries to hide what’s happening, the more Abe wants to help him.
And maybe, just maybe, he’ll find a way to trust the strength of the bond Dom understood from the start.
Abe stretched, legs sliding along the soft sheets. He rolled onto his side and pressed his face into the pillow. A smile tugged at his lips. He could smell Dom on the pillow, in the sheets. The man surrounded him, and it gave him such a deep sense of peace and rightness. He didn’t want it to end.
Sliding his hand out, he came up with only cool sheets. His eyes popped open and he discovered was alone in bed. The clock on the nightstand announced that it was after eight in the morning. He couldn’t remember if Dom said he had to go in for an early shift. The bodyguard had admitted that he was naturally an early riser, which matched Abe perfectly.
But for a rare moment, he didn’t want to get out of bed just yet. His body was luxuriously relaxed after last night. He kept in good shape, but sex with Dom meant using a few muscles that had been neglected over the years. Closing his eyes, he replayed each kiss. Dom’s moans and cries of pleasure still rang in his ears. He’d never known it could be like that.
Patricia and he had burned up the sheets when they were young, but it had been about pure pleasure when they were together. With Dom, he felt connected on a deeper level. There was something in his stare, in the way he let go, the way he trusted Abe so completely that made it so much more.
Stifling a groan at himself, Abe took a deep breath…and caught the faint whiff of bacon. Had Dom gotten up to cook breakfast? Abe pushed into a sitting position and grinned at the sight of a pair of loose basketball shorts at the foot of the bed. After a brief stop in the bathroom, Abe headed to the kitchen where Dom was standing in front of the stove in the similar shorts from last night and an old T-shirt where the sleeves had been ripped off, showing off his amazing arms. To hell with breakfast—Dom was a mouthwatering sight. He’d thought the previous night’s sex had sated him within an inch of his life, but his cock started to perk up as he stared. Apparently it was determined to make up for lost time, and Abe no longer wanted to argue with it.
“I really didn’t think it was possible for you to look sexier, but you’ve accomplished it,” Abe said, his voice still a little rough from sleep.
Dom looked over his shoulder at Abe and the strangely pensive expression on his face disappeared, the smile that he flashed heart-stopping. Abe was normally a happy person, but this was a different kind of joy shining forth. And it was humbling to think that he was the cause.
“I have a feeling you’re more tempted by the pound of bacon I’ve fried up rather than my sausage,” Dom teased.
“I think I proved otherwise last night,” Abe said with a wink. Flirting with Dom was just too easy, too addictive.
Dom turned his attention back to the stove for a moment and flipped over a piece of bacon before looking over his shoulder again at Abe. He grinned bigger than life itself and shook his head.
“What?”
“I just can’t believe you’re here.”
Abe chuckled. “This isn’t the first time I’ve been in your house, Dom.”
Dom rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the food. “No, I mean I can’t believe you’re standing in my kitchen, half-naked, wearing a pair of my shorts after a night of incredible sex.”
Abe could feel his cheeks warm slightly as he closed the rest of the distance between them. “Incredible, huh?” Dom had said as much last night, but it was still encouraging to hear it again. His confidence hadn’t been at its highest when he decided to give it all a try. But then Dom kissed him, and he forgot all about being nervous and insecure. He just couldn’t get enough of Dom. Probably never would.
