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?

Chapter 13

Zeb turned a fiery red, fully embarrassed, spun on his feet, and dashed away, through the woods. He became a blur under the canopy of trees, a flash of gloves, long-sleeved shirt, baseball cap, and nothing more. How simply he vanished. How quickly. How unpredictably. How rudely.

Nolan didn’t see him for the rest of the afternoon, until evening, when Zeb asked him into his private bedroom.

7: In His Bedroom

No, Nolan was not going to enter the young man’s room again. Too many lines between tenant and landlord had already been crossed. Plus, he felt deceived by Zeb, now realizing that the young man had riffled through his personal items inside his bedroom and discovered facts and details about Peter. Peter wasn’t to be shared with anyone. Peter was hislost lover, scar, and pain. How dare Zeb inquire about Nolan’s past with Peter. How could Zeb have been so careless? Why did he really give a shit about Peter, anyway? And why was he so concerned about Nolan’s scar tissue?
