The Major and the Minor

Available March 2010


The Greek Island Resort is a popular tropical island getaway and gay destination spot. Nick Bosco also treats it like an all-you-can-eat buffet, engaging in a series of one-night stands from the moment he arrives until the day he meets newlyweds Drew and Alec and everything changes.

Drew just wants to have a good time, but Alec recognizes Nick for what he is. A player that needs to be taught a lesson in humility. Alec knows the game well and relishes the challenge of bringing down such large prey. The cat-and-mouse games proves to be a great distraction for all three men-until actual emotions start to intrude on what started as harmless fun.

 




 

Excerpt

Drew hissed as cold lotion splashed across his chest and stomach, stark white against his tan skin. Alec smirked at his obvious discomfort, but didn't even offer an apology before he started spreading it over the ridges of his stomach. Of course, he couldn't resist the tickling area of his ribs, or the sensitive spot just below his belly button. Drew's muscles twitched at the assault, but he resisted the urge to twist or slap Alec's hands away. A guy his size and age shouldn't be ticklish or squirming and giggling like a little girl.

"So are you going to ask me how it went at all?" Alec asked.

"How what went?"

"You know what I mean."

"I'm not going to ask you how it went because I didn't think you should go bug him at all. It's not like he knew. I don't even wear my ring when I'm on the beach."

"Drew, we're at a resort that sells itself as a romantic getaway. He should have at least asked."

"Okay, he probably should have asked. But hell, it's not like that would have made a difference."

"I know. It's just…the principle of the thing."

"I still think you should have left the guy alone."

Alec slapped Drew's stomach playfully. "Turn over so I can get your back."

"You mean turn over so you can play with my ass."

"That, too. But you're always such a big baby when you get burned."

Drew rolled onto his stomach. "I'm not a big baby. So?"

"So what?"

"So how did it go?"

More cold lotion along his shoulders and along his spine. Drew didn't mind since it was immediately warmed by Alec's large hands sliding up and down his back. He rested his chin on his arms and stared out over the pool, watching the sun glint off the crystal water. He preferred the ocean, but Alec didn't like the beach. They compromised by spending long hours lounging beside the pool, alternately dozing, diving, and fucking.

"Oh, you do care, then?"

"You're not going to let up until you tell me. No point in resisting the inevitable."

"Isn't that what you said when you proposed?"

"No, actually, it's what I said during our vows. I take it that your conversation with him didn't devolve into a fist fight?"

"No. Nothing like that."

"Did you fuck?"

"No. But I think he wanted to."

Drew snorted. "Guys like that always want to. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that particular guy lives to fuck to the exclusion of everything else."

"Ah, so he's just your type then?"

"Are you saying I like them cheap and easy, dear?"

"Yes, but only until I reformed you."

Drew shivered as Alec cupped his ass with both hands, squeezing the flesh gently. "I definitely feel reformed. So you two didn't fight and you didn't fuck. What did you do?"

"We talked."

"You talked?"

"That's all. I introduced myself, I explained the situation, and he shrugged. Then he asked me if I wanted to stay for a drink."

"Well, that's anti-climatic."

"I know. I wish I had a better story to tell you." Alec straddled Drew's thighs. "Though it'll have a pretty interesting ending."

"More interesting than the two of you enjoying tea and conversation?"

"Beer. He offered me a beer."

"Oh, of course. So it's more interesting than the two of you drinking beer?"

Alec gently pulled Drew's cheeks apart and circled his opening with the tip of his thumb. As soon as Alec touched him, Drew wanted more. He felt the familiar texture of Alec's cock next, the tip just barely brushing against his hole. "I promise you. It's much more interesting than that."

Drew moaned. "Are you going to tell me, or are you just going to tease me?"

"Tease you." He made good on his promise, sliding the head of his cock between Drew's cheeks. Drew's length hardened in response, pressing painfully against the ground. "Remember Rob?"

"I don't remember anything when you do that."

"I'm not going to stop, so think hard."

"Rob Watkins?"

"Yes."

The friction between their bodies sent sparks through his veins. Five more minutes of this torture, and he wouldn't be capable of conversation at all. "Vaguely."

"He was just like our new friend, Nick."

"That's his name?"

"That's what he told me. Anyway…Rob thought himself quite the player." Alec dragged the tip of his cock down to Drew's balls and painted the loose skin with pre-come. "You know he fucked just about everybody."

"Yeah. He fucked me."

"Well, you don't count, dear."

"I don't?"

"No. You're a slut, too."

Under other circumstances, Drew might have protested the accusation. But just the day before, he had damn near fucked a stranger on the beach, and now he was seconds away from begging for Alec's cock. Fortunately for him, Alec didn't seem to mind that he had married a slut. In fact, Drew knew that he was just about the luckiest man on the planet. His libido might overwhelm his good sense on occasion, but he still knew who-and what-he needed. Alec was it. With his easy sense of humor, his sly wit, and his endless patience. He hadn't truly been able to grasp the concept of infinity until he met Alec and tested the man's patience and tolerance more than he had any right to.

"Oh, right. Did he fuck you?"

"Nope. And I'll bet you a hundred bucks that that still eats away at Rob. Especially now that I'm taken."

"You certainly have a high opinion of yourself."

"No, it's not that. But Rob, and Nick, and you, to a certain extent, all have the same little personality quirk. You want the most what you cannot have. Just telling him no made him want me. It's like a little game."

Drew lifted his head as understanding began to set in. "What are you going to do? Lead Nick on a merry chase?"

"Yes."

"What makes you think he'll follow?"

"You followed."
