Marshall Lloyd is about to be very not fine. Not only is his high school crush back in his life, but heβs matured into a gruff, brooding, drop-dead-gorgeous specimen of a man that makes Marshallβs wet dreams seem about as exciting as drying paint. The only problem: Fox Fraser, the individual in question, is straight.
Super straight.
The kind of straight that would make a ruler jealous.
But if what Marshall sees when he looks in Foxβs eyes is to be believed, heβs broken, too. There are scars inside of him that no one notices. No one but Marshall. Itβs not wrong to want to help him, is it? To hire him to take care of things around the house so he can get back on his feet? Itβs just work. Work that leads to lingering looks. To prolonged touches. Toβ¦ mmph. Itβs better not to think about it. Marshallβs fantasies arenβt real. A guy like Fox would never pin him to a wall and do things to him like that.
Maybe.
Probably.
Right?
