About this ebook
Deter McNellis never thought he’d be a victim—living through kidnapping, rape, and the threat of being sold as a sex slave. Getting rescued is only the beginning of healing. He’s forced to relive the experience over and over in his dreams and when he has to share it with the authorities. To Deter’s shock, he finds himself attracted to one of the deputies helping with the investigation—Marrakesh Anderson. The deputy invites him to call him Mac and gives off signals that he’s interested in Deter, too. Deter finds Mac’s clumsy attempts at wooing sort of sweet, and he struggles to overcome his fears so he can spend time with the handsome man. The appearance of the kidnapper’s buyers makes Deter worry he’ll never feel safe. To top it off, Deter discovers Mac is hiding something...something life altering. Can Deter gather enough courage to open himself to a future so full of change, or will his fears send him running?

Chapter One
Deter McNellis sat on the bed. He had his back pressed to the headboard, his knees pulled to his chest, and his oversized sweatshirt pulled over his bent legs. With his arms wrapped around his shins, he clutched at himself.
He missed Louis’s arms around him, but his new friend and fellow kidnappee was off giving his statement. Deter was supposed to be giving his own version of events, but the deputy hadn’t shown up yet. He wished the guy would just hurry up so he could get it over with.
Just as Deter was trying to decide if he should get up and stick his head out the motel room’s door, he heard the knob turn. He stared at the door, fighting the spike of trepidation that surged through him. A nervous sweat popped out on his temples, and a tremble shot down his spine.
Deter felt his entire body sag, relief flooding him, when Rueben and his wide, friendly smile appeared. His green-eyed gaze scanned the room. When Rueben spotted Deter on the bed, the big six-foot-three-inch redhead moved his way.
Hey, little man,
Rueben greeted. Sorry it took me so long to get here. I got involved in another project.
As he said those last few words, his green eyes twinkled, and he winked lasciviously. You know how it is.
While Deter actually didn’t know how it was, he nodded anyway. He knew that Rueben’s project was another way of saying sex. Rueben had probably just been fucking his lover and partner, Lamar.
The pair seemed to be opposites on the surface. While Rueben was outspoken, open, and brash, Lamar was uptight and proper. Rueben was laidback, often sporting faded or frayed, form-fitting jeans as well as t-shirts and muscle shirts, while Lamar always seemed to be wearing designer jeans and nice polo or button-downed tops.
However, all one had to do was see them together to know they were deeply in love. Their gazes strayed to each other whenever the other walked into the room. Their expressions would soften, and a glow would fill their eyes. Whenever they were close enough together, they’d be touching in some way, even if it was just one man’s hand on the other’s shoulder.
It was sweet and made Deter’s heart pang with longing.
If I’d have found that, I wouldn’t have been in that club that night. I wouldn’t have accepted that drink. I wouldn’t—
Hey, Deter,
Rueben rumbled, touching Deter’s shoulder lightly. I say something wrong? Can you look at me?
Deter blinked, then blinked again. His eyes felt uncomfortably dry and dark spots marred his vision. Sucking in a much-needed lungful of air, Deter realized he’d been sitting and staring at nothing, not even breathing, lost in his thoughts.
Shaking his head, Deter blinked a few more times to get moisture to his eyes, then focused on Rueben. He saw the man’s concerned expression and offered what was probably a wan smile. Deter cleared his throat, fighting against an embarrassed blush.
Sorry,
Deter whispered. Got lost in my head.
Rueben gave Deter’s shoulder another squeeze, then backed off and settled near the foot of the bed. No need to apologize, Deter. Not at all.
Resting his left leg on the bed, he turned toward him, a warm smile still on his features. As long as you’re okay.
Getting there,
Deter offered, since he didn’t really want to lie to the man.
The sound of a throat clearing caused Deter to peer past Rueben. He spotted a dark-haired man in an officer’s uniform standing just inside the door. Deter took in the guy’s intense expression and golden-brown eyes, his lean and muscular build, and just about swallowed his tongue.
Just last month, he would have been all over that.
Deter’s mouth still salivated as a flush of arousal heated him from the inside out. The man filled out his uniform in all the best ways, lean and muscular without too much bulk. Muscles
