Jason Stockton and Blaze Shinozuka are looking forward to
escaping their hectic rock and roll lifestyle for a relaxing holiday. Their
plan seems promising, and the passion between them burns hotter than ever as
they keep each other warm despite the icy temperatures.
When a surprise Stockton family get-together threatens to
reveal what Jason would rather keep hidden, their budding relationship is put
to the test and an impromptu trip to Hawaii makes their differences between
them more obvious than ever.
Thanks to two chaotic family holidays and a lot of painful
secrets, Christmas could end up being more than their new found love can
endure.
And *NEW* The Journey Onward… never before in print
Getting back from paradise and being alone is exactly what
Jason and Blaze need to build their relationship and break down the barriers
between them but nothing is ever that simple. Being in LA means back to work
for Jason and Blaze gets a sample of what life will be like as Jason’s partner.
But is loving each other enough to keep them together? Blaze
is finding out how much work goes into keeping a relationship alive but in
their darkest hour, they will have to stand united as partners to weather a
storm that could devastate their future.
When he reached the street, a horse drawn carriage like the
ones he’d seen in Central Park was parked in front of the restaurant. Jason
gestured for him to get in and Blaze cocked his eyebrow. “A horse-drawn
carriage. Really?”
Jason grinned. “I’ve always wanted to go on one but I’ve
never had the chance to.”
“You’re kidding, right? A hot guy like you couldn’t rope a
date into going with you?” Blaze teased.
Jason ducked his head. “There wasn’t anyone I wanted to take
with me before you.”
Blaze grinned, honored by the gesture. “Really? Well, then I
feel special.”
Jason got in and offered his hand to Blaze to help him into
the carriage. Blaze smiled, getting in and settling down onto the leather
seats. “Are you sure it’s okay for us to do this?”
Jason frowned. “Why wouldn’t it be?”
Blaze shrugged as Jason settled into the seat next to him.
The driver gave her order to the horses and they set off. Once the carriage
rolling smoothly, she glanced over her shoulder at them. “There are some wool
blankets if you need them. It’s supposed to snow tonight.”
Jason reached for them but Blaze caught his hand. “I’m
allergic to wool, Jase. Besides, I don’t think I need it. My coat is lined.”
Jason leaned over and whispered, “I think she told us that
so we could snuggle under the blanket.”
“Oh… well, in that case….” Blaze grinned, and when Jason
pulled back and returned the smile, a thrill of happiness ran through him.
Jason threaded their fingers together, and tucked the blanket around their
bodies, being careful so it didn’t touch Blaze’s bare skin.
Blaze looked around at the buildings as they made their way
toward Central Park, the hoofbeat of the horses creating a rhythm of its own.
Jason squeezed his hand through his lined gloves, and he looked over at his
lover. “Having fun?”
Blaze nodded. “Are you?”
Jason reached up with his other hand and cupped Blaze’s
cheek. “Yeah.”
He smiled as Jason leaned in. Their lips met in a gentle,
unhurried kiss and when he pulled back, Jason trailed his gloved thumb over
Blaze’s cheek. He leaned in again, and this time he slid his tongue in to meet
Jason’s, and he moved closer to his partner.
Blaze felt something against his cheek, and he reached up to
brush it away with his finger. Nothing could distract him right now, not when
Jason sucked on his bottom lip gently. Blaze sighed softly, and reached beneath
the thick material of Jason’s jacket to pull him close.
Something else brushed against his cheek. It must have been
his hair and he tried to make a mental note to get a haircut, though Jason
drove away the thought with another kiss. He felt the sensation again, and he
pulled away from his boyfriend to brush the strands out of his face.
Jason opened his eyes a fraction but Blaze barely noticed.
Snowflakes stood stark white against Jason’s dark curls before they melted. He
grinned. “Jase, look! It’s snowing.”
Jason looked toward the sky and his smile took Blaze’s
breath away. When Jason looked back, his eyes were shining as the snowflakes
melted along his impossibly long eyelashes. “Perfect,” Jason said softly.
