Nik clenched his teeth. "It's not a phase, Big Daddy. I've had feelings for you for a long time." Duka blinked at him. What the hell kinda feelings could a lil' teenage boy have for an old fart like me? He had to think quick before this boy fell off the rails. "How 'bout this; come back when you have more hair on your balls and can buy me a drink at the bar." This fifteen-year-old little squirt knew nothing about nothing. He probably read too many of them yaoi books Chaplain likes or watched too many pornos. In six years, he'll realize it was all a phase and want to slap himself silly for being so ridiculous. Nik tilted his head and looked at Duka with narrowed eyes for a few moments. Duka smirked and brought his beer to his lips. That oughta nip it in the bud. Old man-1. Little squirt-0. Nik Straightened up and smiled. "Ok. When the time comes not only will I take you out for a drink but, I'll show you how much hair I've got on my balls afterward." Beer spewed all over the counter and Duka broke into a fit of coughing. Nik's smile widened as he sauntered out of the kitchen. He made sure to smack Duka on the ass on the way past. Duka covered his mouth with his hand and stared wide-eyed at the youth he'd damn near raised. What the actual fuck?

**WINNER of 3 awards in 2016 and 2017** [[+18]] ** this book is on hold for now, but I haven't abandoned it. I'll do my best to get back and finish it, and many thanks for the amazing support from Aella fans <3 ** Aella is an island far away in the sea, with a few smaller islands around it. It is said that only the wind reaches it and ships rarely sail that far as it is mostly secluded from other lands. The Aellos is a tribe of several clans of hunters and warriors that existed for centuries on that island. Over the years, and mostly due to the harsh weather, the number of women have dropped drastically leading to fights and wars between the different clans of the tribe. Tired of being both subjects of dispute and objects of treaties, the proud women, referred to as Aellas, declared their own clan and secluded themselves in their own territory. Now there are only two clans: the Aellas, living in the north part of the island and above a very high cliff, and the Aellos, which is the clan of men living in the forests and small mountains on the rest of the island. All the laws of the tribe are now set for one purpose only: protecting the women and the survival of the tribe. To that reason, both clans meet once a year for what they call: Agape, the season of love, where a male from the Aellos and a woman from the Aellas choose each other to live together and enjoy each other's company for a month. Ceri, a 17 years old, is the only man living with the Aella clan. He was born and raised there, never once stepping foot beyond the limit of their territory... until the day he met the gorgeous Ithel. This is a romantic love story between the innocent Ceri and the lonely hunter, Ithel. [Disclaimer: Contains adult themes and graphic content + abuse and ra pe to be expected + manxman]
