Beneath His Stolen Skin

When Nolan Baxter opens up his house to tenants over the summer for cash, he falls for the sexy and alluring Zeb Thursday. Zeb is quiet, subdued, and spends a severe amount of time in his bedroom alone. Nolan begins to wonder about him. Why does he wear gloves, long-sleeved shirts, and a baseball cap during the hot and humid summer days? Why is he hiding his physical appearance? And why does he rarely come out during daylight? Nolan makes it a point to find out Zeb’s history, and along the way learns of the man’s secrets and sins. But as he pries into Zeb’s business, Nolan invades his tenant’s privacy. As a sexual longing builds between them, they devise strength in each other. Nolan inevitably falls for Zeb and vice versa. But will their individual scars, deep and dark, prevent the pair from loving each other?

Zeb was not in that category of peoples since he paid his rent on time, and with cash, of course. Why the young man wanted to share details of his income was beyond Nolan’s comprehension. He would not be rude and dismiss the topic, though. If the scarred man wanted to provide information about his life, Nolan would listen, absorbing more about the tenant because of his infatuation and attraction for the man.

Zeb nodded. “It’s a short story. You have a right to know more intimate things about me.”

“Intimate?”

“Yes, intimate.” He shoveled another forkful of scrambled eggs into his mouth, added a portion of sausage, chewed it all up, and swallowed it down.

“I’m listening, Zeb. It’s one of my better characteristics.” Nolan tried a piece of sausage link, found it delicious, and finished the plump meat off. He listened then, just as he wanted to, and enjoyed his prepared breakfast in doing so.
