Yasligai and the Seven Studs

By Maggie Walsh

When Yasligai returns home from college ready to take back his father's estate, wealth, and company, as was written in the will, he knows he will have a fight on his hands from his evil step-monster.

Going out for a drink with his stepbrother Hunter was not something on his to do list but when Yas leaves a drunken Hunter and heads off to the bathroom the last thing he ever thought he would hear was a conversation between two strange men talking about how they had already snatched Hunter but now needed to grab Yas himself.

Yas manages to sneak away and run before the men can take him too but once they spot him on the streets, the chase is on. Yas is now running for his life and when he literally runs into someone he gets knocked unconscious.

When Yas comes to he finds himself in a strange place surrounded by a group of seven of the hottest men he has ever seen. Can Yas trust these strangers and find a way to save himself and his father’s estate or will his evil step-monster win it all?

Dedication

This is to all the readers who have sent many emails and Facebook messages to not only me but Stormy Glenn about this story. It was originally a short story of 9,000 words that I wrote back in 2018 for Stormy Glenn’s ManLove Fantasies Contest.

At the time I did always intend to rework the story and make it into a book, but of course life and other things got in the way. But recently there seemed to be more and more people talking about it and contacting me about this story. Since February I have actually received 50 emails all asking about Yasligai and his seven men, as well as countless Facebook messages. Then very recently when a reader put a post on Stormy Glenn’s Facebook page asking about this story, what the title was, who wrote it, and where they could find the book, I had to reply.

During those many messages back and forth with this reader ideas for how I would add to the story grew in my head and it thrilled me like you don’t know. With all the things we are all dealing with and going through in the world right now, it has been very hard for me to write. To the point my writer's block has had me depressed and wondering if I should keep going in this business of just throwing in the towel. Well, because of this, it has unblocked my creative juices and has me writing again, so of course the first thing I pulled up was Yasligai’s story and went to work.

I added over 20,000 words and although it is not as long as most of my books, as my readers know, I like that it is a short read and I hope you do too. I now have ideas for more fairy tales to be written in my modern way and hope you will enjoy them.

So this book is dedicated to Stormy Glenn and also to all those wonderful readers who reached out over the past two years asking for this story and for it to become a book.

About The Author

PROLOGUE

Once upon a…

Scratch that, we don’t have time for copyright problems. You know how the sentence goes, so fill in the blanks all on your own.

Anyway, as I was trying to say, before I was so rudely interrupted. In a Galaxy far, far…

Nope, can’t go there either, and we’re not leaving Earth with this one, so get your head on straight, author girl.

Fine. In a land…

Stop! Do you even hear yourself? This is not some Disney fluffy story of sunshine and rainbows. Do you even know whose story you’re telling? Do you know the pure horrors and struggles these young men have had to overcome and go through to get where they are today? Do you?

"Oh shut the hell up, subconscious, and let me get to the story, you overdramatic, theatrical whiner. I know, I know, we can’t go there with those overused beginnings of stories, because of not only copyright issues, but they’re just boring. We need something bigger, something that will grab the reader by the balls, if they have them, and pull them in, something… something…

Yes, yes, something. Now you’re talking. What?!

Something like this!

Sin City, where what goes on there, stays there, as the phrase goes, but does it really? Las Vegas, a city built in the middle of the desert. A city built on sinful pleasures, like drinking, gambling, and sex. A place where being a hooker is legal, and the underbelly rules. A place…

Snort, grumble, growl.

What are you doing?

I’m sleeping, because that crap you just wrote put me into a disinterested coma. Everyone knows what Vegas is. You’re not telling them anything they don’t already know. Geez, you would think you were trying to write the Great American Novel, instead of telling them a tale of some hot guys who fall in love. Now that’s a story I want to hear. Yes, it is a fairy tale, but not really. It’s a twisted fable. No, not twisted, because that makes it sound wrong or evil, and there is nothing evil about finding love. A newfangled fable, maybe? No, that sounds so… so… like you have a stick up your ass and are trying too hard. In all honesty, you’re simply taking an old tale and updating it into a contemporary story better suited to the times. And making it hot as hell with all that man loving, right? So, find a better way to start it than with all that old blowhard crap, or trying to mangle the English language. You know what to do. Just write what you write and from the heart, like always. It’s a current, updated folklore, maybe is the best way to describe it, so stick with that.

How about Modern Fairy Tales?

Ooh, now you’re talking. So, get to it already, and stop fighting with me. Anyone who walks in on you now, will take one look at your face, see you arguing with yourself, and think it’s time to call the nice young men in their crisp white coats.

Shut up and let me work.

Fine. So touchy. Get to it then. Let me hear these Modern Fairy Tales of yours.

Psst, readers, it may appear as if she has lost her mind, but trust me, it is not so. This is what happens to you when they put you in lockdown for months and your brain shuts off, but trust me, she’s got this. So, sit back and enjoy.

CHAPTER 1

Walking out the back door onto the brick patio, Hunter, spotted his prey immediately. There she lay in all her naked glory, stretched out and lounging in the sun, soaking in the rays to deepen her already-dark tan.

Even though she was twenty years his senior, she was a gorgeous creature that he had fallen in love with instantly when they first met almost fifteen years ago. He had been a young, stupid college kid at only nineteen years old, and she had been the wife of the Dean of Students. She might have been thirty-nine at the time, but she didn’t look a day over twenty-nine.

Hunter had found out right away that his fantasy woman loved visiting with her plastic surgeon and getting a little nip and tuck here and there. Even today, at fifty-four, she only looked to be in her late thirties. He himself never had any work done, but he was blessed with good genes, and still only looked about twenty-six when he kept his face shaven. Which was the way his Desdemona liked it.

My love, Hunter said as he approached his wife, then sat in the lounger next to hers.

Desdemona opened her eyes, and the deep, emerald green glittered in the sun, but it wasn’t the happy look he was
