Levi Campbell made one huge, stupid mistake. When his older boyfriend fears he's holding Levi back from fulfilling his youthful dreams, he encourages him to break free and seek adventure. Levi, hurt and confused, does just that ... But in an immature act of rebellion, he enlists in the army. The army! Levi never wanted to be a soldier, and he never, ever wanted to go to faraway places, but he is now committed to serving his country for two whole years. Madoc Griffiths did the right thing when he let Levi go, he knows he did, but if it was the right thing, then why can’t he move on? Every night he dreams about Levi; every day he misses him. But Levi is young, and Madoc will not stand in the way of Levi following his dreams. But being a soldier isn’t Levi’s dream. There is nothing Levi wants more than to do his time and return home to Northfield and fight for his man. Madoc was sure he’d be able to move on, but once he hears Levi will be home on a two-week leave, he can think of nothing except seeing him again. But can he stand to be with his lover for two weeks and then let him leave to fight a war?

When Skies Are Gray

“Age has never been an issue before, why is it bothering you now?”


“Liar.” Levi tugged him closer, brushing his lips over Doc’s. “What is it that’s bothering you?”


Doc shuddered, melting into Levi like so many times before. “One day you’ll realize I’m old.”


“You’re forty-two, Madoc. Forty-two is not old.”


“You’ll find someone your own age, and…you’ll leave me.”


Levi held Doc tighter, breathing in his scent while shaking his head. “You’re all I want; all I’ve ever wanted. Why can’t you see it? I love you, don’t you know that?”


Doc’s head shot up and he looked deep into Levi’s eyes. “I love you too.”


Levi nodded, but the motion was cut off by Doc kissing him.


Madoc knew they should talk. There were a lot of things they should discuss, straighten out, plan, but he neededto touch Levi. So many nights he’d woken, reaching across the bed only to find it empty. He’d dreamed about holding Levi, kissing Levi, making love to Levi.
