City planner Remy McIntosh is looking forward to spending the holidays with his lover, architect Lane Anders. For the past six months, he’s been planning the perfect getaway -- two weeks in a forest cabin at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains. Remy also has a special gift he can't wait to give Lane on Christmas Day: a wedding ring. But Remy's ex-wife changes her Christmas plans at the last minute, and asks him to take care of their eight-year-old son, Braeden. Remy loves spending time with his son, but balks at the idea of taking a child along on vacation. The main problem is that Braden has never met Lane, and doesn't know his father is gay. Lane is ready to take his relationship with Remy to the next level, and has a secret Christmas gift of his own. Having a young boy along will put a crimp in their plans, to be sure, but Lane wants to be a part of every aspect of Remy's life, and that includes Braden. How will Braden deal with meeting the "other man" in his father's life? What happens when Remy’s romantic holiday for two must also include his son?

Just the Three of Us

His touch was warm and heavy, and only spurred on Lane’s interest. What would that hand feel like on his chest, his belly, lower? His dick and balls and ass? God, I want to find out, I do, he thought, but he wouldn’t let himself be played for a fool again. Not after Reggie.


Still, he surprised himself by not pulling away, and was even more surprised to hear himself say, “Listen to what?”


Remy sighed. “Kate was a mistake. We were friends, we were young, we were both fooling around with anyone interested and, one night, we both got a little too drunk for our own good. We slept together once, thought hey, that wasn’t bad, so whenever we didn’t have anyone else lined up to party with, we called each other. It wasn’t even booty calls, really. Just two friends hanging out, having fun, and getting too shit-faced to realize what we were doing. It wasn’t love, that’s for sure.”


“You called her your ex-wife,” Lane pointed out.
