As Intentions Shift

New to the area Grayson Carter rolls into a small town looking for a job at the local bar, where he meets Jude Williams: the owner's handsome older brother who seems to hate the air Grayson breathes. Both of them have their secrets, but can they let down their walls enough to let each other in? -- "My turn. I like the way your sister talks about you. You’re like a hero to her, that kind of bond is really incredible." Jude flips his hand, catching Grayson’s fingertips on his palm with his thumb. He rubs his thumb up Grayson’s middle finger contemplatively. "You always smell like hazelnut coffee." His voice is soft. Grayson lowers his voice to almost a whisper. "It’s a pretty common combination, it’s not that special." "It is when you do it." -- As Intentions Shift is created by Emily Smith, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 32: Making a Move

Grayson is sure of it now, he knows that he is in love with Jude Williams. What first started out as an intimidating thought has grown onto his heart until he could no longer ignore it.

Was this something Grayson knew how to talk about? No, of course not. He was honestly just hoping they didn't need to talk about it at all, that he could just psychically communicate this to Jude, and the two could move on with their lives.

Grayson wasn't great at communicating his feelings. He was great at being blunt, telling people what problems were so they could fix them. Having a vulnerable conversation and putting his bleeding heart on a table for Jude to stare at was not something he was entirely comfortable with.

Yes, he knew that technically Jude had said it first. But they had never acknowledged it. For all Grayson knew, he could have been saying he loved sleeping. It was possible.
