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

“Too slow,” Richard murmured and the protest was Ethan’s undoing.


Someone groaned and it was Ethan as Richard took him down to the bed. After, he lay silent, protests locked in his throat, as Richard undressed him, peeling off his complaints, diminishing them with everylayer of fabric. Richard stripped him until it felt as if the man went beyond clothing, removing pretence, confiscating what little protections Ethan used for a barricade. The man straddled him, forcing Ethan’s cock against Richard’s testicles and perineum. For a second or two, Richard rode him,hips snapping, moving like a woman would in the same position, undulating. Ethan tried to keep his mouth shut but the movement…Holy fuck! All he wanted was to slip inside the man.


At last Ethan gasped. Rich almost shouted in triumph. Whatever ailed Ethan, he’d had enough of it. He tightened his legs, rolled his hips, rocked everything he could along the solid length threatening to spear into him.
