Stage actor Tim Gregory finds someone has broken into his dressing room and turned everything upside down. When police detective Brent Sullivan and his partner arrive, Tim thinks it’s because of the vandalism. But it turns out the detectives want to question him about a missing necklace that was stolen some time ago.

After seeing the destruction in Tim’s dressing room, Brent is convinced the police aren’t the only ones who want the necklace. Unfortunately, Tim doesn’t remember what happened to it. But someone doesn’t care if he remembers or not. As romance sparks between Tim and Brent, time is ticking. Will Brent be able to solve the mystery – and keep Tim safe, too?

I’m Iyana Jenna and you can call me Iyana. I like writing, romance, and man love so as you can see on this site, you’re mostly going to find m/m stories whether they are for adults or young adults. They are not going to be too heavy on explicit sex, though, as many say that my stories are considered sweet romance.

Part 1

Tim Gregory sweeps his gaze across the audience. Not much use, to be honest, for it is all dark from the stage. All the lights are focused up here, even to the smallest colorful twinkling bulbs on the plastic leaves on cardboard trees. His eyes stray again and this time they catch the wrinkled frown on Danny’s bald forehead. Danny, their director for this production, never seems to have a good word to say to Tim, which is weird since Tim’s nights are always sold out. One of the most respected newspapers in the city once said he could play solo and the seats would still be sold out.

This is the point where his co-actor will slump down to the floor. Tim will run to catch him and take off his shirt to make a pillow to be laid under his injured partner’s head. Tim will be startled to find his partner no longer breathing, try to resuscitate him, fail miserably, and shower him with kisses as he mourns his partner’s death.

This will be the first gay character he has played. Two productions ago his producer thought he would be brilliant in such a role. Tim likes guys. He’s never had a long-term partner but wouldn’t say no if someone offered.

Another night ends with a standing ovation. Tim helps Sean, his dead partner, up, hugs him tight, and can’t stop himself from sniffing at Sean’s neck. Tim feels heady at the mixed scents of shaving cream, eau de cologne, and sweat. Since he began his on and off relationships with some actors, producers, and random guys he met at bars or gyms, Tim thinks he can get addicted to men and all the attributes that come with them.

Sean’s eyes are twinkling as they meet his, promising something dirty later that night. Tim laughs, throwing his head back. To the audience it might look as though they are celebrating their performance. Tim laughs harder before he lets Sean go with great reluctance and receives a bouquet of flowers from a representative of the theater before the curtains close off and he heads for his private dressing room. Someone is running to catch up with him, an assistant to the stage director.

Mr. Gregory, she calls, out of breath. These two gentlemen want to talk to you.

Tim looks over her shoulder. The two men trailing behind her are police detectives. Finally, Tim thinks.

Thank you, Katie. I’ll take them to my dressing room. To the men, Tim
