Want
to know what you're getting?
It's
Simple, Simon
Simon Carter has achieved unimaginable
success
and he owes it all to a man from his past
whose scorn set fire to his ambition.
"It's Simple, Simon. You lack
ambition."
Chase Garvin's jibe had sent Simon
Carter on unexpected paths and brought him unimaginable success. No longer a
penniless musician, the highly paid investment banker is going home for the
first time in years. He plans to rest, relax, and spend a little time rubbing
his ex-lover's nose in his success. A visit to the Renaissance Fair brings this
not-quite-so-simple- Simon nose to nose with his past and somehow revenge
doesn't seem quite so attractive.
Chase Garvin, Denver , Colorado 's
very own Pie Man, is still incredibly handsome. What's more, the more mature
Chase is very appreciative of Simon's talents.
When the old attraction flares
between them, Simon and the Pie Man get caught up in tasting the wares, and
neither counts the pennies.
Excerpt
He sniffed the golden pies. Mmm.
Chase had always been talented in the kitchen. The aroma was intoxicating.
Delicious. As he ate, savoring the flaky crust and rich fillings, he
contemplated the man who'd treated him to the pies. Chase was one hot baker.
He'd always been sexy, but there was no way that hunk of beef could fit into
his old Renaissance garb. Chase had put on muscle. His shoulders had broadened,
his biceps bulged, and mmm.... The rest was hidden behind that voluminous
apron, but Simon doubted that it had changed much.
Best of all, Chase still seemed to
find him attractive. That was just icing on the cake. The sugar on the pie? He
chuckled softly. Whatever it was, he liked it. Liked the idea that Chase might
still be interested in him sexually. As he licked the sugary filling off his
fingers, he contemplated abandoning his plan. After all, Chase hadn't meant to
hurt him years ago, and he'd certainly seemed welcoming enough, even though to
all appearances Simon hadn't changed over the years. Yeah, there really wasn't
any reason to prove to Chase how successful and ambitious he really was. He
should just come clean.
On the other hand, he felt like
enough of an idiot for hiding his success in the first place. He bit into the
next pie, feeling the juice trickle down his chin. He licked at it, chewing and
swallowing, scrabbling absently for a napkin to wipe his chin. It would be
horribly embarrassing to go back to that booth and offer to pay for the pies,
to tell Chase why he hadn't wanted to pay in the first place.
"Here, I'll get that for
you." Chase grabbed his napkin. To his surprise, Chase drooped down onto
the grass next to him. Instead of dabbing his chin with the white paper napkin,
the man leaned forward, his breath a warm buttery scented breeze as he hovered
close for a moment before gently licking the juice off Simon's skin.

Twinkle, Twinkle little star.
ReplyDeleteNot sure it would make a great foundation for a story, but I remember this as a child looking out the window at night.
I have absolutely no idea how you would make this one into a naughty tale, but my favorite one was always Three Little Kittens.

Hi Lee,
ReplyDeleteI was laughing reading the blurb. Very fun!
Okay, I think Jack be Nimble might make a good m/m romance...if candlestick could be a euphemism for something special and Jack didn't quite clear the hurdle, so to speak. lol
