Zen's Gift

CQ 2024 entry. When Lithe Hildebrand hires Zen Starke to retrieve stolen property belonging to the Maximillian Tribe nothing goes according to plan. Lithe, a workaholic and perfectionist, convinces Zen to let him go on the dangerous mission with him for fear that if mishandled it could ruin his reputation and career. Intrigued, Zen is determined to keep his potential mate by his side at all costs. For he’s never met anyone as captivating and sensuous as Lithe. When Lithe’s life is threatened, Zen makes a bargain to protect Lithe if he pretends to be his fiancé. Pressed for time, Lithe agrees since Zen is nothing like the media portrays him to be. As a recessive omega he finds the dominant alpha irresistibly charismatic and fiercely loyal. The problem is the feelings are mutual. Despite their differences, the lovers embark on a dangerous quest that gets them more than they bargain for when they encounter murder, deception and the gift of everlasting love.

The advice

Lady Maria's birthday extravaganza was a publicity draw, a crowd pleaser and a raving success.

It would be the talk of the town for weeks to come as the Maximillian's had simply outdone themselves. 

A shiver of mock horror ran down Lithe's spine as he thought about reviewing the ledgers later since the Maximillian's had gone all out and spared no expense that night.

Lithe was also worn out from being introduced to several people at a time and took shelter in a secluded balcony.

From the balcony Lithe sipped on a mimosa, a mix of champagne blended with orange juice, the citrusy flavor reminded him of Zen's pheromones. 

Vibrant streamers shimmered across the ballroom ceiling as laughter and music echoed into the night. 

The room also displayed some of the more exclusive pieces from their Fall collection and Lithe had already been bombarded with a surplus of requests for express orders and delivery.
