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 20: Adjusting

If there was one thing Grayson Carter knew how to do, it was how to keep things hidden. He may not have a plan, or know exactly how to feel about…everything, but he figured that if he just kept his head down and barreled down through his discomfort, everything would be fine again. One day.

It wasn’t that he was uncomfortable being around Jude, in fact it was more that he was uncomfortable with how much he truly enjoyed being around Jude. It was like breathing, effortless and natural. That being said, his brain wouldn’t let him think about getting any closer than they already were.

It had been about two weeks since the confrontation that turned into an apology circle and Grayson was feeling pretty confident that he was acting more normally now. Of course, he and Jude hadn’t been out again since their first date. Jude asked, once or twice, but Grayson was just a really busy guy. It didn’t mean anything. At least, that’s what Grayson told himself.
