"Good, you're early. Perfect. Come with me." From the tour Don gave me yesterday I knew he was taking me to the kitchen. I guess I'm about to find out why. "Make me that wicked cup of coffee you spoke about." God, his accent. "As you wish, sir," I said with a mock British accent. "And what flavor do you prefer?" I asked, looking at the variety of International Delight creamers. "Pick the one you like." His voice was smooth and soft as he said that. I couldn't stop myself from smiling or turning around to look at him. He had his butt resting against the counter. He had his arms crossed over his chest and one foot over the other as he watched me. I felt my breathing pick up at how sexy he looked. My God. He wore high water pants, this time green, and boat shoes instead of loafers. Someway somehow he managed to pull off a leather jacket with that outfit. I don't know much about fashion but I would not even dare to put those two together. I could tell he had really broad shoulders. An image flashed through my mind. I had my hands underneath his arms and my fingernails digging into his shoulder as he backed me up against a wall and wrap my legs around his waist, fucking me hard against the wall. Jesus Christ, I hope Tommy doesn't ask me about him again because he's going to be very pissed if I tell him I imagined my boss banging me against the wall.

Kadence is your normal and regular 16 year old boy....as long as being absolutely crazy/random, talking when he thinks he's thinking, getting into trouble with his equally crazy best friend Chris, trying to avoid his homophobic bully Lucas, and most of all being absolutely crazy in love with his best friend's STRAIGHT brother Jace....then yes Kadence is as normal as they come. What is Kadence going to do when he somehow agrees to becoming a slave to the guy that makes up his dreams at night in return for protection from his bully? Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?!

Timothy Sheffield has a very interesting ritual. It happens the first day of each month in Pasadena's number one place for literature - Vroman's Bookstore. This habit of his does not involve books however. It is all about that one fab and famous glossy that California loves to read - Out & About magazine. Will he find love in the pages with the smallest of prints? And when he does, how would he know if it's indelible?
