For more than a year, Reggie Mitchell has been sitting at the end of the bar in the Sunset Club waiting for Mark Randall to see him as something other than a customer. He's been in love with Mark for close to two years, but Mark only sees him as a rich college kid trying to go slumming with a bartender. Then Mark gets in trouble helping Reggie's friend Bobby.<br><br>Now a violent ex-lover is threatening Mark. Reggie offers Mark the safe haven of his basement apartment. Can Reggie convince Mark that his safe haven is his arms instead?

Waiting for Mark

“I’ll follow you home and check the car so you can put it in the garage. Do you have room in the garage?”


“Yes, when I remodeled I put in space for a third car. Now, outside of my car and the lawn mower, the garage is clear.”


“I’m finished, Reggie. Let’s go home.”


Jack walked them to their car which Keith insisted Reggie park by the loading dock ten feet from the kitchen door.


Twenty minutes later Reggie and Mark pulled into Reggie’s garage. “Do you want some tea before you go to bed? We can talk if you still want to,” Reggie asked Mark.


“Yes…Jack needs to look at the car before we put it in the garage, though. He’s right. It would be like Billy to hide in the back seat and surprise me. I didn’t leave it unlocked, but Billy knows how to get in a locked car.”
