CHAPTER ONE
––––––––
Luke leaned back against the black satin pillow and closed his eyes, waiting for the pills to take effect. He took another swig from the whiskey glass and felt the burn deep and low in his gut. He was soaring and it felt just like taking off across the river back home in Texas, buck naked and plunging into the crystal cool water. He wondered if the old rope still hung from the twisted branch. He could visualize it swaying in the summer breeze, the branch creaking under his weight as he grabbed onto the thick hemp and swung out.
And he remembered Sully, his best friend, flying free of that same rope, diving in after him, sending plumes of water shooting high into the air. Both of them laughing and shouting, trying to drown each other as they sped through the water, as the blinding Texas sun beat down on them.
Reality drifted away, as it always did when the pills took effect. He swallowed another stiff belt from the glass. Not enough to get him drunk, but enough to numb the pain of the memories. Yet, his body responded to his bittersweet recollections of Sully. His cock stiffened as he envisioned the wet, golden body of the young cowboy he remembered. Ah, those summers, when his hair bleached white from long days in sun and his blue eyes sizzled with the intensity of a laser. Damn those days, hungry for more than Sully’s friendship, Luke wanted to kiss him with a passion that was considered taboo in their small corner of west Texas.
And then the ache swelled, as it always did, burrowing deep in Luke’s groin, tightening his balls. He’d left Texas for more than one reason. He’d never felt he belonged on his dad’s small dirt farm. If he’d stayed around, eventually his good ’ole dad would have kicked him out anyway. Once he knew what he was. Stu Cantrell didn’t put up with no sissy for a son, that’s for sure.
And then there was Sully—Sullivan Vance—the boy next door. The golden heir to one of the biggest quarter horse ranches in his part of the country. Other than the fact that the two ranches shared a border, he’d never have thought he’d have much in common with a guy like Sully. But somehow, for some reason they’d bonded, and the years had made Luke realize he wanted so much more than simply friendship with his best friend.
They’d fished together, hunted together, doubled dated, and rodeoed hard. But for Luke it hadn’t been enough. He dreamed about Sully, the one man he’d loved more than any other. And the second reason he’d left the dirt of Texas far behind.
Luke reached down beneath the sheet to stroke his hard cock with a tight hand. He’d taken his guitar and hotfooted it out of town before he embarrassed himself—and, of course, his father. The yearning hurt too much to go back.
And even though he made good, and the name Luke Cantrell made women swoon from one side of the country to the other, it still wasn’t good enough for his pa. Nothing he did ever was.
He tried to stay away from news from that corner of Texas. He didn’t want to see when Sully escorted some well-known society babe to this function or that. He didn’t want to think about the day when he might read in the paper that Sully got married.
He looked up and fastened his blurry gaze onto the door of his suite as it slowly opened. His bodyguard, Drew, stepped inside.
They’re here,
he said. His knowing gaze studied Luke, sprawled in the king-sized satin-sheet covered bed, and his dark brows drew together. You sure you up to this tonight? That show took a lot out of you.
Nooooo problem,
Luke responded, picking up the vial of pills. He shook them at Drew. Bring ’em on in.
A couple of those babies would keep him plenty hard for the night. Certainly good enough to put on a decent show. After all, that’s what it was all about, wasn’t it? Making sure the world knew Luke Cantrell was one hot stallion in bed.
Luke stroked his stiff prick, thinking about the night ahead, a smile plastered on his lips as a brooding Drew shook his head, turned, and left. His bodyguard was a family man, had been with Luke a long time and knew exactly how to take care of him. But Luke had never
