A warm-hearted rich man's son, Richard Gardener needs to overcome three obstacles: find a way the family business can run without him, help his mother cope with grief, and stop butting heads -- and other parts of his anatomy -- with the gardener.<br><br>Ethan Fields has worked for the Gardener family for many years. He’s struggling with debt and the desire to leave, and has loved Richard far longer than the man would believe. Ethan can cope with most things, but his anger with Richard’s mother won’t fade. Until that and his feelings for Richard are resolved, he feels trapped and, alas, the idea that sex will get Richard out of his system isn’t working.<br><br>To make the situation worse, both men assume too much and don’t say the right words, and Ethan’s offer of ‘just sex’ grows more complicated by the day. Can Richard and Ethan stop getting their wires crossed before their paths diverge?

Flowers for the Gardener

So, Ethan thought to give orders? Why not, and why did the idea make Rich hard? Good thing he kept his back to the other man but when he turned around wearing nothing but swimming trunks, Ethan was bound to see…well, more. More by the second as his penis swelled.


Stupid belt wouldn’t come loose. His fumbling attempts came to a halt as Ethan said, “Wait.” A hand squeezed his right shoulder. Warm lips drifted one side of his neck, bringing forth a shiver. A kiss meandered along the curve of his ear as Ethan eased the dressing gown off one of Rich’s shoulders. The robe slipped off on the other side when Ethan repeated the action. Touches so light, so seductive, Rich fought not to quake.


Ethan sensual? Romantic? Gentle? Shockingly delightful. Did Ethan set out to surprise him?


Perhaps, for Ethan spun Rich around, and moved in so close, Rich feared he might poke Ethan with his erection. Amazing to think his cock failed to find its own way out of his trunks.
