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 really do have to take a nap, baby. I may have overdone it a tad. But I’m going tonight, so wake me at three-thirty.”


“Don’t bother, I’ll set one on my phone. The only actual alarm clock is in the guestroom. I use my cell phone.”


They settled down in bed with Mark tucked under Reggie’s chin. “Reg…”


“I love you and want to marry you too.”


“We’ll have to wait until after Bobby and Keith get hitched, but we’re going out tomorrow to pick out our engagement rings. I want you marked as mine. After waiting so long, there will be no poaching.”


“No poaching…” Mark snuggled a little closer to Reggie and fell right to sleep.
