Garrett’s homophobic family
and his own big mouth keep getting him into trouble. If he’s not careful, he’ll
lose everything—wife, job... and Aaron.
Ever have one of those days where you open your mouth and
trip over every single word that comes out? Garrett Morris is having a bad day.
On a scale of one to ten, it’s a twenty. Mind you, it should be going much
better, considering he’s seeing Aaron, the secret love of his life, for the
first time in a little over two years. But his wife’s homophobic family and his
own big mouth keep getting him into trouble. If he’s not careful, he’ll lose
everything—wife, job... and Aaron. Previously published by Stiff Rain Press.

Excerpt:
“You
all right?”
I
sighed and nodded. “I might as well be. I’m not the one hooked up to a bunch of
machines without my consent.”
“That’s
not your fault. You didn’t know what the living will said. It easily could’ve
said do everything.”
“How
did I not know what my own father wanted?” I held my hands wide.
He
shook his head and shrugged. “I don’t know what mine would want. Really, who
talks about that stuff? We live our lives in a state of invincible denial.”
“I
guess.”
“You
know what you’re going to do?”
“Pull
the plug.” I sat down in the pew with a groan, wincing at how hard the wood
was. “That’s what he would want. Says so right there in black and white. I
just...” I shook my head and swiped at welling tears.
Aaron
circled in front of me and knelt on the maroon carpet. “It’ll be okay. You’re
doing the right thing.”
“How
do you know?”
“Don’t
you feel it?” Aaron laid a hand over my heart. “Isn’t that what’s got you?
Everyone’s arguing, but you know what needs to be done.”
I
nodded. “I don’t want to be the one to say it. I don’t want to be the bad guy.
The one who killed Dad.” I couldn’t stop the choked sob.
“Garrett,”
Aaron whispered. He pulled me close and held me. “You didn’t kill him, baby.”
His
embrace was warm, and being called baby in that gruff, manly voice of his made
me want so much more with him. Secretly, I’d always found him attractive—so strong but so tender at the same time. Maybe it was the grief. Maybe
it was the fatigue. But the scent of him, the heat of him, drove me insane. I
leaned back just enough, tipped my head, and rubbed my lips over his.
He
responded, maybe on instinct, maybe on purpose, but the result sent a jolt of
longing through me.
Aaron
pulled back and wiped his lips. “I’m sorry.”
“No,
it’s okay.”
“It’s
not. I shouldn’t—”
I
shook my head and tugged him forward for another kiss. I couldn’t let him
regret this. I couldn’t bear to think of that.
At length we parted,
and he pressed his forehead to mine before he stood. “Someone’s bound to miss
us and come looking. We’d better head back.”
