Description

Introduction:The sudden disappearance of a prominent member of New York society mystified the city and angered the father who was one of two reasons Pierce had left unexpectedly. The other reason Pierce had left was to escape a wife whose thirst for the material could never be quenched, a woman who was having an affair with his father. Wondering how he had become part of such a mixed up world, and more importantly, wondering if he could ever find his way back to himself and to the man he had once loved, Pierce builds a new life for himself on the other side of the country. While he is gone, Pierce not only discovers that his wife has become pregnant by his own father, but also discovers an unexpected love. Pierce is now uncertain if the man from his past truly is the man he once loved, or if the unexpected was meant to be.Excerpt:Pierce spoke softly and sadly as he told of his expected life, and then he was either brave enough or had had just enough to drink to not care what he said and he went on to tell Mitch all about Jeff. '¬SI guess our friendship went a little too far, huh?'¬ He looked at Mitch for signs of disapproval, but saw only understanding on his face. Pierce continued. '¬SWe had so much fun, Jeff and I, perhaps because we knew we were living on borrowed time.'¬ '¬SOr perhaps, you truly loved each other.'¬ Mitch took Pierce'¬"s hand and held it in his as he said this. Then he took Pierce'¬"s empty glass and set both back on the nightstand. He leaned over Pierce and held his face in his hands. Pierce closed his eyes, and offered his mouth to Mitch. Mitch gently touched his lips to Pierce'¬"s and kissed him softly, opening Pierce'¬"s mouth with his own. Then he kissed the side of Pierce'¬"s mouth, then Pierce'¬"s cheek, kissing his neck down to Pierce'¬"s shirt collar, and gently pushing it open to kiss his shoulder. Then he looked at Pierce. His eyes were still shut, and his head was leaned back into the comfort of the pillows. Mitch placed one hand on Pierce'¬"s neck and with the other one he held Pierce'¬"s hand. '¬SDid Jeff kiss you like that, Pierce?'¬ ********On Friday afternoon, just as promised, the young democratic hopeful arrived at the inn. Registered as Matthew James, he checked in and a staff member went to get Pierce. Pierce came to the front, all smiles, and held his hand out to the man. When they shook hands, however, and looked at each other, a look of shock covered both of their faces. It was Jeff, Jeff from college. Pierce was sure of it. But why had he changed his name? The man looked at Pierce, and knew it was him. Pierce, with his brilliant blue eyes, could not be mistaken. Pierce didn'¬"t want to make a scene in front of the other guests, so he invited the man to see his paintings. He followed Pierce into his room. '¬SJeff?'¬ '¬SPierce?'¬ ********Being alone in the room together brought back old memories and old feelings. Jeff took off his clothes down to his shorts, and climbed into bed. '¬SIt sure feels good to get out of that suit and tie. The wife has me dressed up like some Adonis or something.'¬ '¬SCome sit with me. Let'¬"s talk.'¬ He patted the bed.
