Stopping a murder that happened forty years earlier may be the only way to heal a tortured mind ...<br><br>Six months after Jesse Madding is brutally tortured by Marcus Brooker, he is still experiencing flashbacks, panic attacks, and jumping at his own shadow. His lovers, Gideon Keel and Emma Coolidge, would do anything to help him, but Jesse refuses to be hospitalized for treatment, or even visit a therapist. Desperate for a change, Gideon and Emma suggest a radical solution.<br><br> Jesse wants to fix his life. More than anything, he wants to be normal again. He doesn't want to live in fear. He doesn't want to be ashamed of his scarred and mutilated body. He doesn't want to shy away from Gideon's touch. Certain that the holding pattern will kill him, he agrees to Gideon and Emma's proposed solution: travel to an alternative dimension and save Marcus Brooker from witnessing Mary's grisly murder ... in order to save Brooker's soul.

Chaos and Communion

“Your turn,” Gideon said, nodding toward Jesse’s clothes. “I can’t fuck you if you still have your pants on.”


Jesse was already moving by the time Gideon stepped back from Emma. Resting a hand on her shoulder, he pushed her firmly to her knees before crouching down to pick up the gloves she had dropped. He pulled them on, fighting the urge to vamp out just yet as Jesse’s hard cock came into view. A drop of pearly fluid already collected at the tip. Gideon wanted to join Emma down there and swallow it down, but that would have to come later.


“Face her,” he ordered once Jesse was naked.


Jesse dutifully stood in front of her, his cock near her lips. Gideon almost saw the spark of electricity jumping between their flesh, and if the two of them had been alone, Gideon had no doubt that Emma’s mouth would have already been around the crown.


Gideon stood next to both of them, his body brushing against arms, shoulders. He heard every time Emma swallowed. He felt every time Jesse shivered.
