Laurence’s new lover is half his age. The problem? His relationship is about to make his life a lot more complicated… Successful, sensible, and settled in his ways, single dad Laurence isn’t looking for love when he runs into the young man who sweeps him off his feet… and onto his knees. With an upcoming raise on the line and a son to care for, he can’t let an unconventional relationship jeopardize the future of his family. He’s a parent first and a lover second, and that’s the way it has to be. Right? The only thing Alex loves more than older men is being filthy with them. The problem? Sometimes, it backfires in the worst ways. Up-and-coming painter Alex is broken in ways others can’t see, and he copes with the pain by drowning himself in experience—especially experienced men. But when he crosses paths with Laurence, he finds himself drawn down an avenue of life he’s sworn he’ll never visit again. Men are meant to be disposable, and Laurence is only supposed to be a hookup… so why does Alex feel so safe whenever he’s around? When a matter of concealed identity threatens Laurence and Alex’s bond, they have a choice—rise above the forces that seek to divide them and find happiness with each other, or let their problems grow too great to conquer. The Problem is an 81,000 word contemporary omegaverse mpreg novel featuring a quirky group of single dads, the naughtiest lace panties you’ll ever read about, and the gradual development of a relationship between a Daddy and his boy.
The statement came out of nowhere. Laurence turned his attention from the hyperrealistic oil painting of a young man draped across an old couch in a grimy apartment to the speaker on his right. Moments before, he’d been on his own, doing his best to figure out what kind of “professional enrichment” Elaine thought he could get from a solo trip to an art gallery. The art was stunning, he’d give it that—but he wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do with his appreciation of it, or how to apply that appreciation to his work.
A mystery for another day. Right now there were other matters to tend to—namely, the young man who’d emerged from the crowd to stand at his side.
The visitor was unexpected, but not unwelcome. His statement gave Laurence something to chew over aside from thoughts of the raise he was chasing, at least. “He paints with his own cum?”
“He does.” The stranger lifted his chin and quirked his head to
the side, like a bird of prey considering a nearby target. The sharp
angle of his jaw and the bridge of his long, narrow nose added to the illusion—they suited his face, and Laurence thought they looked charmingly hawkish. “At least, that’s what I’ve heard. I think it takes the idea that artists put a piece of themselves into everything they do a little too seriously. Don’t you?”
“I’m not sure I believe it.” Laurence turned his gaze away from the young man and looked back at the painting. Pressure clenched in his stomach, not entirely unpleasant. It took a few moments to realize what it was—the stirrings of arousal. “I’m no expert, but I believe oil paint is temperamental. Body oils and acids would destroy its composition. Seminal fluid is alkaline—basic, the opposite of acidic—but it’s made up of multiple components. I suppose, in small quantities, it wouldn’t interfere with the paint, but artists work with small amounts of color at a time, don’t they? The size of this canvas and the complexity of the color on it lead me to believe that the amount of paint versus the standard volume of ejaculate wouldn’t have been acceptable—the semen would have flooded the paint and destroyed it. This painting looks too good to have been made with decaying product. There are no signs of poor artistry here—no cracks in the paint, no fissures, no peeling… it’s flawless and masterful. I don’t know if I can get behind the idea that there’s cum mixed into it. It’s too perfect to be true.”
There was silence. Laurence bit the inside of his lip and glanced at the stranger out of the corner of his eye. He’d gone too far. He’d killed the conversation, just like he always did, because he couldn’t let go of the logical part of his mind and just have fun. Half of him expected the stranger to be gone—vanished back into the crowds that surrounded them to escape his awkwardness—while the other half anticipated uncomfortable, confrontational rejection. It wasn’t the first time he’d made someone feel awkward and been forced to endure the aftermath.
But that didn’t turn out to be the case.
Instead, Laurence found the stranger looking at him, eyes narrowed in alarmed confusion. Beneath that expression, Laurence thought he glimpsed awe. It shimmered in his eyes and plumped his lips, like they were on the verge of speech. The shock softened some of his hawkishness and revealed an individual who seemed vulnerable. Then, suddenly and arbitrarily, like a murder of crows startled into flight, the confusion on the stranger’s face broke apart and dissipated. He passed a hand through his black hair, then shook his head and chuckled. Laurence thought the sound was pleasant and genuine—like he was amused instead of put off. “So, you’re an artist.”
“No.” It was Laurence’s turn to chuckle. Even when he tried, he still ended up giving stick figures three legs. “I’m a biologist.”
More or less.
