Michael Weston is recently promoted, becoming the youngest head of a branch of secret agents. His lover of two years, Timothy Miller, has finally moved in with him and they both work for the same organization. At the moment, Michael’s satisfied with his wonderful life. The first case he has to personally deal with is a mysterious murder, but Michael can’t make heads or tails of it. All the clues lead to dead ends. It certainly doesn’t help when he discovers his high school bully and crush Ian Davis is somehow involved. Things get worse when Ian confesses to harboring years of infatuation for Michael, which pisses Timothy off. Meanwhile, the number of casualties in the murder case keeps increasing. Will the three men be able to find a mutually satisfying solution? And can Michael solve the murders before someone else is killed?

Contentment

“Hey, Mike. We’ll see you at home. I need to plant my musky armpits right in Ian’s face, so he can smell my manly scent. Love you, Mike.”


“Love you, too, babes,” he replied, but he ended up laughing out loud.


There was the sound of Ian shouting out “Yuck, get your stinky armpits away from my nose, you bastard!” followed by Tim’s “Oh, you’re going to get it now for sure. You know you love the smell of…” from the other end. He shook his head fondly as he pressed the End Call button on his phone.


Fortunately, traffic was not so bad that evening. Mike managed to reach home before seven o’clock. He parked the car in the garage and alighted before he closed the garage door by pressing on the remote control. He made a mental note to get another one for Ian. He smiled happily when he got into the living room. Ian and Tim were cuddling as they watched a documentary on the television.
