Summary
Tongue stuck between his lips, his mind goes quiet for a few precious moments as he concentrates on the polish. He sighs with happiness when he’s done, admiring his toes, wishing he could wear the color on his nails.
Graeme Webster, 20, is clawing at survival the best way he can. He works two jobs, but can't make rent. He has an anxiety disorder, but can't afford his meds. He's trying his best, but he needs help.“You might be leaning on urban geekster a bit too hard.”
“Okay, I’m probably going to regret asking, but ‘geekster?’”
“Geek-hipster. Geekster.”
Alan Garry, 30, is an app programming millionaire with a middle class background. He may be a workaholic, but he's carved out time for the Seattle kink scene since being introduced to it in college. He sits somewhere on the asexual spectrum, and the fact that he can't figure out precisely where bothers him more than he'd care to admit.“It’s going to be okay, Graeme. Where do you hurt the most?”
An unfortunate chance encounter brings them together, but they realize quite quickly that neither of them are willing to part again.Series

Summary
The apple is an easy target. It is gripped by long, thick fingers, and with a practiced twist and an application of strength, splits down the centre in a spray of juice, as though that is simply how apples are supposed to work. The man laughs, a rich and buoyant sound, and flicks an errant chunk of apple from his cheekbone. Each half is still held in a secure, clawed hand.
“Broke that one open for you real quick,” he says, gravelled yet cheery, in rapid Akielon. He then takes a large bite of the apple, still grinning as he chews.
Laurent frowns.
He had begun with strength training videos. He is not entirely sure how he ended up here. The algorithm had seemed well content to show him what he was looking for, up until this fruit-splitting brute.
---
When Auguste suggests an Akielon holiday as a break from their Christmas monotony, Laurent is not expecting anything but boredom on a beach. That is, until he meets the fetish video creator who he has been obsessing over for the past few weeks.
Damen is ready for a relaxing Christmas—nothing but sun, sand, and sex. But when he meets an unpredictable Veretian on the beach, he starts to think that maybe a challenge is just what he needs.

Summary
He’d had hope, after those talks, that when the sting of Olympic loss had faded he and Auguste would be able to salvage something of their old friendship. This doesn’t seem likely now. Sorry I gave you a concussion when I checked you is one thing; sorry I beat you out for the gold medal and then had your little brother wear it while I fucked him is another.

Summary
“Jord, do you trust me?”
“Yes, Your Highness. Of course.”
The Prince shifts, twisting in his chair, and lifts a jacket-clad arm to hold something out. Jord takes a step forward, then sees it’s a horse’s bridle.
“Nguhnh,” says Jord, with all the inelegance of someone never raised into the tact of noble society.
The Prince’s face is very serious. And then he states, “I want you to sneak this into Prince Damianos’s rooms.”
“Huhgnh.”
