Fantastic

By K.L. Noone

Everything’s fantastic. At least, Jason thinks so. He and Colby are working together on a new movie and falling into bed together at night, a life full of stories and happy endings.

But it’s been a long night shoot. They’re both tired. And now Colby’s injured.

It isn’t serious, but Jason can’t help worrying ... especially when he discovers one more story from Colby’s childhood. He couldn’t protect Colby then, but he can now. He’ll spend the rest of the night making sure Colby feels safe and happy, and thoroughly loved. After all, he’s very good at making all of Colby’s fantasies come true ...
