Greg Mitchell’s entire childhood was filled with violence and abuse. That was until he came to work on the Heath
Farm. From the first moment Greg met
Brian Stockwell he has been in love. But
a threat his father made four years ago has always held him back from pursuing
any real relationship with Brian. That
was until he learns his father is on his death bed and no further harm.
Greg finds out his family ties are stronger than he thought. These ties hold Greg back from really getting
to know Brian the way he truly wants too.
Both men discover that they have more differences than they originally
thought.
EXCERPT
Every time Greg Mitchell looked at Brian
Stockwell, he hurt. It was like a physical ache in his chest where his heart
should be. Greg caught a glimpse of the man he had been obsessed with for the
past four years and that ache started up. Brian didn’t even know Greg existed
and even thinking about that made Greg feel like he was in high school all over
again.
Greg was coming out of the barn, just getting
ready to get cleaned up for an evening class he had to commute too. This was
his last semester of college and he thanked God every day for that fact. He couldn’t
wait to get done. The commute from the farm to school was a bitch, especially
this past winter when the snow was up to the windows of his truck and his dick
practically fell off every time he went from the bunkhouse to one of the barns.
Greg was just glad that it was summer for his last class ever. He didn’t have
to worry about the roads being covered in ice and the cold seeping into his
bones.
The sun didn’t go down until about the same
time Greg got home from class, so he didn’t even have to worry about driving at
night in a large city. Although, living in Pickleville his whole life meant
every city was large. Living in a small town also meant driving anywhere after
ten o’clock at night was an unusual occurrence for anyone who lived here. For a
farmhand like Greg that was especially true. Greg had been so focused on
finishing school for so long that he just didn’t have time for any
extracurricular activities.
Greg sighed as he watched Brian step out of
the main house. Brian had shorts on, khaki’s and a dark blue t-shirt. Even from
as far away as Greg was, he could see Brian’s cute little nose wriggle his
glasses further up his nose. His dark hair had that messy, spiky look that
seemed to be at odds with Brian’s nerdy personality type.
Greg rolled his eyes at himself. He couldn’t
blame his lack of a social life entirely on his college classes. If Brian ever
did give him the time of day Greg still wouldn’t pursue any type of
relationship. And he longed to have Brian under him, naked.
Greg sighed again. Roger Mitchell’s parting
words four years ago were not an empty threat. Greg’s father was more than
capable of following through on hurting anyone Greg even came close to dating.
Roger would know too. Greg had seen him on campus more than once throughout the
years he had been attending the University.
Yeah, it sounded crazy. It was crazy but it
was Greg’s truth. Greg would live in it.
