An epic motion picture! A gay Napoleonic War love story! Ballrooms and battles at sea! Romantic happy endings on the silver screen! And a film that’ll change everything for its stars ... Jason Mirelli can’t play adrenaline-fueled action heroes forever. He’s getting older, plus the action star parts have grown a little thinner since he came out as bisexual. This role could finally let him be seen as a serious dramatic actor, and he needs it to go well -- for his career, and because he’s fallen in love with the story and the chance to tell it. The first problem? He’ll be playing a ship’s captain ... and he hasn’t exactly mentioned his fear of water. The second problem? His co-star: award-winning, overly talkative, annoyingly adorable -- and openly gay – box office idol Colby Kent. Colby’s always loved the novel this film’s based on, and he leapt at the chance to adapt it, now that he has the money and reputation to make it happen. But scars and secrets from his past make filming a love story difficult ... until Jason takes his hand and wakes up all his buried desires. Jason could be everything Colby’s ever wanted: generous and kind, a fantastic partner on set, not to mention those heroic muscles. But Colby just can’t take that chance ... or can he? As their characters fall in love and fight a war, Colby and Jason find themselves falling, too ... and facing the return of their own past demons. But together they just might win ... and write their own love story.

Seaworthy

He decided not to overthink this one. The pants flew over to join his shirt.


Colby’s eyes went even wider. Jason hadn’t thought that’d be possible.


He sat gingerly on the edge of the bed. He wanted to laugh; he wanted to reach out and cup Colby’s face in one hand, cradling all that courage; he wanted Colby to want him. He wanted that so badly, and the straining forward must be visible.


“Jason,” Colby said. “I—oh, wow.”


This time Jason did laugh. Couldn’t not. “So you approve?”


“Yes,” Colby said. “Thoroughly yes.”


“What do you want me to do?” Jason put both hands on the bed again. “Hold still, give you orders, what?”


“Don’t move for a moment.” Colby, Jason noticed, was still hard, or hard again, cock visibly upright and interested. Good; Jason himself was stiff as granite, and knowing that Colby was right there too sent another wave of arousal through him.


Colby put a hand out. Fingertips over Jason’s chest. Tentative but not scared.
