Chadwick, Book 1

My name is Justin, and when I was seventeen, I fell in love with a boy named Damon.

Damon was sick, only I didn’t know it at the time. And like any disease left untreated, it festered and burrowed into the unaffected areas of us, until we were both so far from healthy, we were killing one another. Then a tragedy sparked our implosion.

With nothing of us remaining to salvage, I was left to pick up the pieces, while Damon found his escape in the abyss. Leaving me alone with Blake.

Damon and Blake are two halves of a whole. But Damon is the coldest part of darkness, and Blake the warmest part of light.

I love Blake with a ferocious intensity akin to the peeling back of skin. But Blake isn’t Damon. And Damon was gone—until now.

What once threatened to tear us apart has become our catharsis.

Outnumbered in the relationship with the man who was my life, I’ve begun to learn more about love than I ever thought possible.

I jackknifed awake and then instantly fell back to my prone position, groaning and shielding my eyes. “Who the hell turned on the lights?”

“That would be the sun.”

I heard laughter coming from somewhere to my right, and I slowly opened one eyelid to find Blake holding out a mug of what smelled like hazelnut heaven. Sittin up gingerly, I accepted his offering. To my left, someone complained about the noise level, and I remembered Sam was here. Last night came flooding back to me.

Sam got herself upright one body part at a time. An interesting thing to watch. When she opened her mouth to speak, I wanted to knock her back into the dream world.

“Holy Mary and Moses, this must be the husband. Now I understand why he likes his exit entered.”

“Sammmm,” I groaned.

“What?” Her expression morphed from bemused to shocked. “I said that out loud, didn’t I?”

“Yes, you did.” My cheeks burned.

“I’d definitely let him plow through my backdoor.”

“Sam!”

“I did it again, didn’t I? Am I still doing it? Can you hear me now?”

Blake looked amused, but I’d never been more embarrassed, and Sam still seemed drunk. I placed my mug down, deciding now was a good time to go to the bathroom. “It’s too early in the morning for this.”

“It’s actually noon,” Blake yelled after me. I heard him asking Sam how she liked her coffee as I closed the bathroom door.
