Brian King was honorably discharged from the United States Navy five years ago. He’d left with the highest honors a man can receive in his country, but he’d paid the ultimate price to earn them. He’d returned home with all his limbs, his right mind, and with his only brother Ford, at his side. But, one thing had been lost, maybe for good…his voice.
Now, being a bounty hunter is Brian’s only means to satisfy his need to calculate, track, and capture. He missed companionship, he missed communicating. So, when he met Sway Hamilton – in the most unconventional means – he’d been surprised at his special way of understanding Brian’s every look…and touch.
Sway grew up in the rough part of ATL, trailing behind his twin brother Stanton and his best friend, Dana. He and his brother had a bond only twins could understand. So when Stanton’s life was taken during their sophomore year in college, Sway didn’t think he’d ever recover. However, Sway knew there was more to life than heartache.
Sway has to learn to trust in love, and Brian has to believe that Sway will always understand him even if he never speaks again.
“When you wake up. I’ll give you the ten-cent tour.” Brian kissed Sway’s forehead, ignoring his perplexed frown. He simply took his hand and led him to the bed. “A couple hours then we’ll continue our conversation when you’ve rested.”
“I certainly hope you plan to get in here with me and you’re not making me take a nap like I’m in Kindergarten.”
Brian smirked for a second, loving that feisty side of him. Sway moved to put his hands back around Brian’s waist, but Brian’s smile fell, and he pointed sternly at the bed then he glared directly into Sway’s bloodshot eyes, daring him to refuse. Sway leaned a bit when he released Brian again, his eyes so heavy they could hardly stay open. He can’t even fake like he’s not exhausted. Brian ignored Sway’s annoyed stare and smoothed the wayward curl that’d escaped from behind his ear. I’ll take care of you if no one else will, gorgeous. Now get in my bed. Brian rejoiced inside when Sway realized that Brian wasn’t joking and he damn sure wasn’t budging.
“Fine. One hour and then I’m getting up.” Sway said around a full yawn as he toed off his sneakers. He stepped away, still smirking defiantly and pulled his thin blue T-shirt over his head before tossing it across the foot of the bed. With his head down, Sway undid the button on his jeans, those pretty brown eyes peeking up at him shamelessly.
Brian swallowed and locked his spine. I know he’s not about to…
Sway oh so slowly unzipped his pants and began to inch them down his creamy thighs.
Fuck me.
Brian watched but he didn’t move. Sway knew what he was doing; the smugness on his cute face told him so. But, Brian was stronger than any man Sway had met and would ever meet.
“Bed.”
Sway huffed, surprised his strip tease had been ineffective—it hadn’t, but he wouldn’t know that—and climbed onto the bed. When he settled down on the pillow, Brian watched him turn his head and bury his nose in the thickness, then pull it into his chest and hug it like it was his favorite teddy. It was Brian’s pillow. He’d only stood there a few seconds watching like a creeper because the next thing he knew the teasing had ended and Sway was snoring lightly.
He looked as if he belonged there. Brian couldn’t watch any longer. He saw all the possibilities of what could be, but wishing was a dangerous habit. Deep down he knew Sway was meant to be his, he was almost tailor-made for him but how could he convince Sway of the same.
A.E. Via has been a best-selling author in the beautiful gay romance genre for six years now, but she’s no stranger to MM. She’s been an avid reader of gay lit for over fifteen years before she picked up her laptop to place her own kiss on this genre. She’s also the founder and owner of Via Star Wings Books, having published a couple great new up and coming MM authors.
A.E. has a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Virginia Wesleyan College that she used to start her own paralegal firm after she graduated in 2008. She spent five years preparing and filing bankruptcy petitions for struggling blue collar workers who couldn’t afford to file with a lawyer. It was a rewarding and satisfying career… but another path called to her.
Writing.
A.E.’s novels embodies everything from hopelessly romantic to adventure, to scandalous. Her stories often include intriguing edges and twists that take readers to new, thought-provoking depths.
She’s recently celebrated her 20th book anniversary, and is kind of known now for her hardcore, play rough and love hard, bad boy, alphas. However, she does like to push herself to step out of her comfort zone, exploring different tropes, but she won’t push herself into a whole other genre. She’s head over heels for gay romance and she has tons of more hot stories to tell.
