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

“Gray’s the new guy? Zach sure got someone fast.”


“Yeah, I was surprised. It seems we have a waiting list of people who want to work at the Sunset. The fact that Zach and Keith actually give a damn about their employees’ health and well-being plus the phenomenal tips attract applicants. Jason and I were the only persons ever hired who weren’t on the list.”


“Yeah, all of us are. Not many straight guys want to work in a gay club.”


“He’s a good worker so far and learns quickly. He seems okay.”


“Maybe we can get Jack to come to the club for more than to watch our asses.”


“If Jack isn’t ready, he isn’t ready.” Mark was willing to stick up for the dark haired man he met the day before who looked so sad.


“He’ll be ready soon. Beau’s wife is pregnant and due any day. He’s going to have to give up on the idea that Beau is going to return.” Reggie reflected.


“How do you know that?” Mark asked.
