The Leopard of Saba

Unfinished WIP!

Mateo DaSilva is obsessed with a poisonous prince and a doomed gladiator.

Mateo DaSilva is besties with Val Antonin: fellow university student, tech-geek, best friend, and so poisonous to humans that Val's not allowed to touch anybody. Mateo is obsessed with his distant cousin Jason, who is a planetwide star of the gladiatorial arena, and only slightly more approachable than Val. Jason is obsessed with the mysterious gladiator called 'The Diamond', whose body is sin incarnate and whose touch creates an addiction for most humans.

When Mateo enlists Valier in a prank to help Jason indulge his longing for the Diamond, all four men become tangled in a political plot that could destroy Mateo's planet.
