Tethered

"What do you want, Levi?" He asked against my lips. My heart performed an erratic and barely stable dance. The butterflies in my stomach swarmed. "Say it", he growled as he gripped my waist.

In a breathless voice - barely above a whisper - I replied, "I-I can't, it's too embarrassing." He brushed his lips against my neck, his stubble prickling me. He found a spot just above my collarbone that made me gasp. I felt him smile against my skin, "Say it", he repeated as he started kneading the skin of my outer thighs.

This was a chess game and I think I'm about to lose.

Levi Smith runs away from his small life in Duxbury, Vermont. Leaving his family behind to focus on his own life with no worries. His plan: go to New York, get a motel for a few nights, acquire a job and lastly get an apartment. A solid plan.
But fate intervenes.

Zaine Maverik just goes about his business everyday, not tolerating drama or volatile emotions. Cool as a cucumber, all day, everyday.

Until he meets Levi on a bus bench, alone, scared and no plan B.

On the rollercoaster of getting Levi back on his feet, the two encounter elements that could either tear them apart or join them together. Duxbury has yet to let Levi go.

It's all a game of chess, and Levi is determined to win.
