Book 2 - The Replacement Guitarist Series
Synopsis
Jason Stockton and Blaze Shinozuka are looking forward to
escaping their hectic rock and roll lifestyle for a relaxing holiday. Their
plan seems promising, and the passion between them burns hotter than ever as
they keep each other warm despite the icy temperatures.
When a surprise Stockton family get-together threatens to
reveal what Jason would rather keep hidden, their budding relationship is put
to the test and an impromptu trip to Hawaii makes the differences between them
more obvious than ever.
Thanks to two chaotic family holidays and a lot of painful
secrets, Christmas could end up being more than their new found love can
endure.
Excerpt
Jason grinned. “I’ve
always wanted to go on one but I’ve never had the chance to.”
“You’re kidding, right? A
hot guy like you couldn’t rope a date into going with you?” Blaze teased.
Jason ducked his head.
“There wasn’t anyone I wanted to take with me before you.”
Blaze grinned, honored by
the gesture. “Really? Well, then I feel special.”
Jason got in and offered
his hand to Blaze to help him into the carriage. Blaze smiled, getting in and
settling down onto the leather seats. “Are you sure it’s okay for us to do
this?”
Jason frowned. “Why
wouldn’t it be?”
Blaze shrugged as Jason
settled into the seat next to him. The driver gave her order to the horses and
they set off. Once the carriage rolling smoothly, she glanced over her shoulder
at them. “There are some wool blankets if you need them. It’s supposed to snow
tonight.”
Jason reached for them
but Blaze caught his hand. “I’m allergic to wool, Jase. Besides, I don’t think
I need it. My coat is lined.”
Jason leaned over and
whispered, “I think she told us that so we could snuggle under the blanket.”
“Oh… well, in that
case….” Blaze grinned, and when Jason pulled back and returned the smile, a
thrill of happiness ran through him. Jason threaded their fingers together, and
tucked the blanket around their bodies, being careful so it didn’t touch
Blaze’s bare skin.
Blaze looked around at
the buildings as they made their way toward Central Park, the hoofbeat of the
horses creating a rhythm of its own. Jason squeezed his hand through his lined
gloves, and he looked over at his lover. “Having fun?”
Blaze nodded. “Are you?”
Jason reached up with his
other hand and cupped Blaze’s cheek. “Yeah.”
He smiled as Jason leaned
in. Their lips met in a gentle, unhurried kiss and when he pulled back, Jason
trailed his gloved thumb over Blaze’s cheek. He leaned in again, and this time
he slid his tongue in to meet Jason’s, and he moved closer to his partner.
Blaze felt something
against his cheek, and he reached up to brush it away with his finger. Nothing
could distract him right now, not when Jason sucked on his bottom lip gently.
Blaze sighed softly, and reached beneath the thick material of Jason’s jacket
to pull him close.
Something else brushed
against his cheek. It must have been his hair and he tried to make a mental
note to get a haircut, though Jason drove away the thought with another kiss.
He felt the sensation again, and he pulled away from his boyfriend to brush the
strands out of his face.
Jason opened his eyes a
fraction but Blaze barely noticed. Snowflakes stood stark white against Jason’s
dark curls before they melted. He grinned. “Jase, look! It’s snowing.”
Jason looked toward the
sky and his smile took Blaze’s breath away. When Jason looked back, his eyes
were shining as the snowflakes melted along his impossibly long eyelashes.
“Perfect,” Jason said softly.
Favorite Quote:
Jason held out his hand. “Take it and if I let go, I promise
it won’t be for long.”
