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

Before he was in the hospital, he did research and invested in the two tech startups he found a few years ago. He also gave Keith and Zach the tip. The companies went public yesterday and he sold his stock for two million dollars profit, he could have possibly made more, but he didn’t want to be too greedy. He could well afford the cost of the men who guarded what was most precious to him. The five million belonged to Gramps. The two million he made on his own.


Mark was filling out. He’d gained ten pounds since he moved into the basement and he looked good. He used Bobby’s home gym with Keith and Bobby’s permission. He was still lean but had put on some muscle. Reggie was just happy he was eating and enjoying Cecily’s cooking. Every day she gave Mark something for them to eat for lunch and dinner so he and Reggie weren’t forced to eat the rehab facilities food. Unlike St. Mary’s, they hadn’t found a good food service.
