Chapter One

SOMEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA, near Los Angeles

Ah shit! Camdyn exclaimed, sucking on his injured nail. He wagged it and grimaced in pain, thinking perhaps he should have taken his lover’s advice and hired a professional to fix the hole in the wall and paint.  Why would he when he knew how to do things himself?

I am a DIY’er after all!

Recalling the work, he’d done on his own home, he shook his hand out and kept sanding the wall to smooth over his mistake. He’d taken out his frustrations on the wall about the last case he’d do without Malik; a cheating husband who somehow avoided his trap in getting caught by his wife. The bastard went to another restaurant instead of the one he’d followed him to a week prior. Mrs. Lawrence wanted to actually see it on camera and she threatened to take her business elsewhere if the Mister wasn’t caught.

Thankfully, she bumped into Malik on the way out and he convinced her with those sparkling good looks and army boy charm, to give Camdyn another chance. He promised - even though he couldn’t officially help until he was licensed - he would make sure Camdyn got the job done exactly to her specifications.

Camdyn grinned to himself, remembering the subtle touches and winks she gave Malik and then the surprised, no make that, disgusted look on her face when he said Camdyn was his partner in life, love, and career. 

Oops!

Despite this, she still decided to keep her case with Camdyn, just so she could get a look at the hot man up close when she came in for weekly updates. And who could blame her? Those deep chocolate brown eyes complementing his coffee colored skin. The massive muscles in his chest looked amazing in a spandex black t-shirt.

And that ass!

Whew, dayum baby!

Just thinking about his new man caused his pants to tighten in the crotch. Still, there was work to be done.

Camdyn finished sanding and was ready to apply the plaster.

Where’s my hot man anyway? Perplexed, he jumped down from the ladder and glanced at the screen on his cell. Almost five? Malik, you should’ve been here almost an hour ago. Camdyn dialed to ask where he was. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Malik. Camdyn wondered where his man could be instead of in the office with him.

The incident with Camdyn’s last lover still haunted him and he didn’t want the same to happen with Malik. Although they got along Camdyn still worried about other men trying to take his dreamy lover away.

Never had Camdyn been so insecure in a relationship until now.

Ah well, first time for everything.

While pushing number one to dial Malik’s number, Camdyn ran his fingers through his hair. His eyes darted around the room, checking out the changes he’d made to the office to suit his lover. Malik desired more of a modern feel for the office since they’d be working on a lot more cases. Camdyn’s main concern was how much easier they could play and make love on downtime.

After three rings, Malik picked up. Hey sexy man, I was just about to call you. I stopped off at my folks to finish getting stuff and assure them I was okay.

Camdyn let out a sigh of relief. Did ya tell them you’re in the good hands of a man who loves you? Camdyn smirked, knowing Malik probably hadn’t. In the small period of time they’d been together, neither one of Malik’s parents asked to meet Camdyn.

Malik laughed heartily. I sure did, babe. They didn’t wanna hear it. Both of them frowned up like they’d smelled passed gas.

Heh, figures. I was missing ya is all. Camdyn wouldn’t dare admit he was jealous. You’re not staying for dinner, right?

Nope. Not after the shit they pulled before we got together. I know any meal I have with Louise and Eldon probably means they’re trying to set me up with some woman.

I hear ya, babe. All right, just get your sweet ass on back here then. I’m about done fixing this hole and uh, well, there’s another hole I’d like to stuff something into sooner rather than later. He smiled into the handset.

Ooh, I love when ya talk dirty to me, Mr. Hardy. Keep it hard and warm for me, okay? I should be there in an hour or less, depending on traffic.

Make it quicker, baby. You’re driving the Corvette. If ya get a ticket, I’ll pay it. Camdyn meant every word.

Malik chuckled, All right, honey. I’ll be back there soon. Sit tight. Lemme say goodbye to my folks and I’m out the door.

M’kay. Bye, sugah.  Get back here so I can pump my cock in between them chocolate thighs. Love ya.

Love you too, Cam. Malik smooched through the receiver.

Camdyn smiled and returned it. He loved this sappiness at the beginning of a relationship and hoped to God it would last the duration of their time together. Because of failed relationships in the past, Camdyn needed more than the usual to convince him his commitment to Malik would work. Whatever it took to make it work long term, Camdyn Hardy was willing to do.

WITH A SMILE ON HIS face, Malik pressed the disconnect button.

He couldn’t wait to be in Camdyn’s arms again, caressing, kissing, licking his beautiful tanned and tattooed body from head to toe. Malik was taken hook, line and sinker by Camdyn Hardy and wouldn’t allow anything to stand in the way of their happiness.

In a rush, he grabbed the last of his things he’d left behind when he hurriedly moving out. Too bad his parents wouldn’t come around about his orientation and choice to wear it proudly on his sleeve.

Malik!

Malik’s mom, Louise Day, yelled from the bottom of the staircase. Even though his mom and dad weren’t about to change their minds, he still loved them.

Coming, mom.

Malik zipped his duffel and sprinted downstairs. He stopped just before he bumped into his mother.

Her stern brown eyes caught his gaze. Malik, I hope you change your mind about coming to church with us next Sunday. We want you to talk with Pastor Johnson.

Malik grimaced and gripped his bag tightly in his palm. Thanks, but no thanks. I won’t be up in time. Cam and—

No, no, don’t! She held up her hands in front of his face and shook her head vehemently. I don’t want to hear about your−

Lover? He drew up his lips and rolled his eyes. Look, I told you, there’s no changing me, okay? I was born gay and always will be. I’m in love. Why the hell can’t you be happy for me?

Don’t talk to me in that kind of tone, Malik. You’re sinning against God, willingly. You need to repent for your sins.

Malik looked away from his mother and down at his shoes. I do every day, mom and I also thank him for bringing me a man who loves me. My Lord and savior is Jesus Christ and he loves everyone, regardless of what they are.

Louise shook her head. Jesus doesn’t like homosexuals. In the bible, it talks about Sodom and Gomorrah and men lying with men. He doesn’t appreciate that kind of behavior, Malik!

As she continued to talk, Malik drifted away from the conversation and began thinking about the days that lay ahead. He needed to get his head into passing the private investigator exam, so the Hardy and Day PI could officially open. Right now, all he could do was help Camdyn with paperwork. It bored the hell out of him. He needed to get home and study.

After I have some fun with my man.

Malik... Malik... Are you listening to me? His mother grabbed and shook his arm.

He acknowledged her with a
