Kale's Paroxysm

By Nina R. Schluntz

Convinced Martin will come back, despite their volatile history, Kale embarks on a relationship that is perfect if it remains superficial; but Eli's past is riddled with secrets and Kale's obsessive nature drives him to uncover it all.

Kale has spent years in a volatile relationship with his ex, Martin. Convinced he will come back, even after a conflict that results in Kale being incarcerated and suspended from his law firm, Kale begins a no-strings-attached relationship with the man he meets in jail.

Eli has always kept his romances with men temporary. He hasn't always been honest about being gay and he prefers to keep the secrets of his past hidden. Kale's obsessive nature makes it difficult though, and soon their relationship is edging toward something more. Kale's possessiveness appears to have no limits, nor do his fits of rage, and Eli worries, as Kale's affection shifts from Martin to Eli, that he may become Kale's next victim rather than his lover.
