Too Busy
for Love
By

Blurb:
He
needed a job — he never expected to need his boss.
Thomas's
life can be pared down to one principle: Be as successful as possible by being
as single-minded as possible. But his commitment to his goal is tested upon
returning home to his mansion and finding his gorgeous new gardener in his
library.
Luke is
a student, and his new job is perfect: decent income and a place to study
that's quiet, peaceful, and stocked with useful resources. The last thing he
expects to find there is a stunning man who offers to open up all the doors
that Luke has yet to be brave enough to peek behind.
Thomas
is happy to wait for Luke to come to him, but when he does, Thomas has no
intention of holding back...
Excerpt:
I’m
studying architecture and you have some pretty awesome textbooks. I was just
making some notes.”
Thomas
nodded mechanically and sat down in the chair opposite Luke. This was not what
he needed— to find out his gorgeous, young gardener was intelligent too. Crap.
Talk! Just talk to him. “How long have you got to go?”
He choked out.
Luke
groaned theatrically and rolled his eyes. “Two long years. But I’ll get there.”
Thomas
smiled at the artless way Luke had of moving and talking. But the question was,
was he gay? Were his smiles a come-on,
or the act of a guileless young man?
Luke’s
blue eyes sparkled. “You’re home late, sir.”
Thomas
opened his mouth and said something he had never murmured to a staff member
before, “You can call me Thomas if you like.”
Luke
cocked his head in an adorable way, his blue eyes showing surprise and
pleasure.
“Sure...Tommy.”
Thomas
couldn’t stop the moan that escaped his lips at the sound of such a nickname
from this gorgeous young man. A name he
had banned all previous lovers and friends from using. He didn’t like the sound
of it, it sounded common. Well, it
used to.
“I
don’t usually let people call me that.”
Luke
stood up and smiled. “Really? Why not?”
Thomas
stood up also and moved forward so that they almost nose to nose. His need to
touch this guy was an almost painful yearning. Luke’s eyes widened in surprise
but the pupils dilated in arousal also. Thomas followed his instincts and
pushed forward.
“Because
it sounds like something my lover would call me.”
Luke
blinked several times but didn’t move back.
Thomas
took that as assent and lifted his hands to cup Luke’s jaw. His skin was soft,
with the faintest feeling of bristles against his palm. He brought his face a
scant inch closer.
He
felt Luke’s gasp against his lips but pressed forward and moaned as their skin
met. Luke’s lips were soft, juicy and full of potential. He stepped closer so
that their bodies were touching, Thomas’ cock hardened as it rubbed against the
younger man. He groaned again and coaxed Luke’s lips open.
Luke
opened to him slowly and Thomas took advantage, tasting and licking the inside
of Luke’s mouth. Enjoying the softness, the way Luke’s tongue hesitantly met
his.
The
soft moan Luke emitted caused Thomas’s body to harden unbearably, and then Luke
was pushing him back with a gentle hand.
Thomas’
head was swimming as though he was drunk and he staggered back a few steps so
that he was in the centre of the room again. He was dizzy with pleasure and was
throwing caution to the wind. He knew he should have spoken to the head
gardener first to find out what sort of employee Luke was. He should have
talked to his lawyer, but he didn’t. He just opened his mouth and said what he
wanted.
“I’m
gonna have a bath. Wanna join me?”
Luke’s
mouth fell open as his eyes scanned down Thomas’ body. Thomas knew his erection
would be obvious in the dress pants he wore. It was hard and uncomfortable, but
he didn’t care. Luke needed to see what was on offer.
He
reached up and pulled his tie down, part of his seriously lust-fogged brain
wondering if he was about to be sued for sexual harassment.
“Well?”
He raised an eyebrow at the beautiful boy still staring at him.
He
threw his silk tie down onto the chair, shrugged off his jacket and began
unbuttoning his shirt. His stomach tightened in excitement as he waited for
Luke to make the next move.
