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.

How did that get there?

"Well, in the spirit of the festivities, I may have sipped from one or two more of my usual glasses of champagne. Zen was kind enough to escort me to my villa. Seeing that we had to get up early to conduct other business before leaving for our trip it made sense to turn in early for the night."

"How disappointing!" exclaimed Lady Maria, while frowning, "that means you missed the fireworks display, they even spelt my name out in the sky, it was a glorious sight to behold."

"In Lithe's defense he's always kept earlier hours than the rest of us," Estella pointed out, "these last few days have been very stressful, no wonder Lithe was exhausted last night and went to bed early."

"Well, even my brother couldn't wake up this morning or he would be here to see Lithe off for his trip," Christina said in that irritating voice of hers, "he's been wanting a chance alone with Lithe to apologize for his behavior of late."
