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 37: The Morning

Grayson opens his bleary eyes, awoken by the feeling of rays of light falling against his face. He had never enjoyed the concept of morning light before, opting instead to keep his room as dark as humanly possible. The morning light had only been a sign that he had run out of time to sleep. When it was dark, Grayson could stay comfortable, isolated from the world for just a moment longer.

This morning, however, as Grayson turns his head to see Jude's sleeping face, he finally understands the appeal. Jude looked so…peaceful. His long black eyelashes cast a shadow under his cheekbones, his lips barely parted as his chest moves rhythmically up and down.

Grayson can feel his chest ache looking down at Jude.

He couldn't quite remember when they had fallen asleep, but he knew that they had been out on the couch. They had sprawled across the surface, limbs entangled as Grayson buried his face in Jude's shoulder. They had talked all night.
