When Ryker arrives in Puerto Rico with his friend Mitch, all he’s anticipating are a few days of luxurious accommodation and an exciting place to discover. The last thing he expects is to find he has an immediate attraction to one of the hotel staff, the handsome and flirtatious Alejandro, who appears to be equally interested in him. After spending a day with Alejandro hiking a difficult trail, Ryker finds his attraction deepening, though he knows it can’t be more than a holiday romance between them. And he can’t help but feel Alejandro is hiding something. Despite being warned not to leave the complex after dark, he follows Alejandro one night and discovers a world he never imagined existed. And the attraction between them becomes something much deeper. But that’s the least of his worries when it becomes apparent something dark and deadly is stalking him.

Metamorphosis

“I’ve stopped. There are better things I can do with my mouth. Like this.” Alejandro leaned down and pressed his lips over Ryker’s, slanting his head slightly to maximize contact as he increased pressure.


With a sigh of contentment, Ryker opened to the kiss, welcoming Alejandro’s tongue into his mouth before his lover moved back slowly, ending the kiss by sucking on Ryker’s lower lip.


“I’d best go.” Alejandro sighed heavily. “I don’t want to be seen coming out of your room. I’m a member of the staff here and it would hardly be professional to be accused of sleeping with the guests.”


“I hadn’t thought of that.” Ryker’s heart sank. “And you can’t spend too much time with me either, as you’re expected to be guide and whatever to the other guests here.”


“Yes, that too.” Alejandro cupped Ryker’s cheek. “I can meet you for lunch. Maybe we can have a picnic on the beach. I’ll have a word with the kitchen and organize a packed lunch. We can go for a swim.”
