A love of art...
A mutual interest in art draws two shy university
students together. Ben admires Vinnie’s painting of the university building, so
Vinnie invites him to an exhibition of his artwork. From a wealthy family, Ben
purchases some of Vinnie’s art and arranges for the artist to personally hang
the paintings in his apartment.
Starry, starry night...
Ben commissions Vinnie to paint his portrait, in order
to spend more time with the artist. On the night of the sitting, Vinnie
fingerpaints the starry night on Ben’s chest... and they kiss. They begin a
relationship beneath the night sky, God’s own canvas.
But every relationship has its ups and downs and so it
is with theirs. When Ben thinks Vinnie spends too much time with a fellow
artist, his jealousy drives a wedge between them and forces Vinnie into the
very thing Ben dreads.
Hold tight to your dreams...
Ben and Vinnie will have to walk through fire before
they can find one another again. But if they believe, and if they keep their
faith in the night sky and each other, just maybe they can make their dreams of
love come true.
EXCERPT:
Vinnie led me across the room, pulling me
by the shirt. “Lie back on the sofa for me and I'll paint you.”
As if in a dream, I settled my head
against one arm of the sofa, my legs dangling over the other end, scarcely
breathing now. Vinnie knelt on the floor beside me with an open pot of paint in
his hand.
Teasingly, he dipped his index finger into
the dark blue paint as if it were cream he would lick off. His finger connected
with my skin and he made short strokes across my chest, the coldness of the
paint making me shiver.
Mesmerised by the closeness of his
beautiful face, the view of the night sky through the window, and the picture
forming upon my chest, I watched as dab after dab and stroke after stroke he
built up a mix of shades, until a dark night sky with the moon and stars were
there to be seen—a masterpiece, drying on the warmth of my blazing skin, a
transient thing of beauty. His fingers skimmed my skin causing gooseflesh to
ripple in waves down my arms and thighs. My nipples pebbled in response to his
touch.
And when he was done, his lips met mine in
a languid kiss; how our first kiss should have been—sweet, innocent, and full
of promise. He pulled away, smiling down at me.
This was the beginning of something
special.

LILY G. BLUNT’S BIO:
Lily G. Blunt writes contemporary gay romance and
erotica. She loves to explore the relationship between two men and the
intensity of their physical and emotional attraction. Angst often features in
her stories as she feels this demonstrates the depth of the men’s feelings for
each other. Lily is forever writing imaginary scenes and plots in her head, but
only a few ever make it to the page—there never seems to be enough hours in the
day despite having left the teaching profession to concentrate on her writing!
Lily discovered the wonderful world of m/m romance
novels four years ago via fan fiction and went on to write stories in her spare
time. With the encouragement of her friends and readers she decided to publish
some of her work.
Lily has several self-published stories available on
Amazon. She is also published with Torquere Press and Wayward Ink Publishing.
Easily distracted from her writing, Lily makes videos
using clips from gay-themed movies and posts gorgeous pictures of men kissing
or making out on her tumblr and Facebook pages. Lily is also an avid supporter
of GLBTQ rights and advocates equality for all.
Lily lives in central England with her rather bemused
husband, two twenty-something children, and a ‘mad as a bag of frogs’ Shetland
Sheepdog.
