S.J. Eller
Dalton O’Brien, on the other hand, doesn’t make any sense at all. His cool, confident exterior covers up a dark past, filled with mistakes and regrets. Dalton is everything that solvable equations aren’t. He’s complex beyond belief. But as their attraction grows, Kyle finds himself unable to resist trying to find the key to Dalton’s complexity.
Kyle’s never been one for taking big risks or gambling, but there’s a first for everything. When choices and reality collide, both men will be left changed forever.
This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's " Love’s Landscapes " event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.
Dear Author,
How did I get here, with him– it’s so wrong… but it feels so right. He’s asking me things I want to say yes to, but if I do my whole life will change. I’ve worked hard for what I have, life’s not been easy but I knew which path I was taking and have marched down that road determinedly for years. Yet now I’m questioning everything I think I know about myself. One decision will alter my whole world.
Photo Description:
The black-and-white photograph captures a short, intimate moment. Two men lean over a pool table, holding a cue together. One has short, dark hair and stubble that reaches across his face. Behind him is a larger man, his hair longer. He holds his companion’s hand over the cue, guiding him as he presses a kiss to the smaller man’s neck.
