“Well, I never have been the delicate type.”
“Delicate? Is that what it takes?”
Eddie gave a slight shrug. “I don’t know, I…”
Suddenly there was a loud blast that sounded like a gun shot, and Eddie instinctively grabbed Adam and ran for cover, only to find it was a car backfiring. Both men relaxed as they leaned against a building, taking a big, thankful breath as they looked at each other with relief.
“Sorry,” Eddie said. “I hope you haven’t changed your mind.”
“No,” Adam said, looking frightened. “It…it’s okay, really.”
“Are you sure? You look a little shook up.”
“No, really. I’m fine,” Adam said nervously.
What Eddie didn’t see was how the baby blue hue of Adam’s eyes had become shaded over with worry as he gazed out into the city street and could almost see the slink of death creeping out of every abyss and crevice, and knew he would have to accept the fact that a scare such as this could have very easily been the real thing. But Adam did have one thing. As bad as it was, and may become, when the bedroom door closed, and they were snug in each other’s arms, that was what made it all worthwhile—in the dangerous life of a Back-Alley Cop and his lover.
THE END
ABOUT TEMPLE MADISON
My name is Temple Madison, and I write about men, which includes manlove on occasion. Some of my men are good, others are bad. Some noble, others will scare the crap out of you. As a rule I put characters together who would never find each other in real life. But why not? I’m a fiction writer, and anything goes!
My men are are restless and hot. Their eyes are bright, piercing, and unsettled. If you like the idea of men making love with each other, look for some of my manlove books, and then prepare to be captivated. If you want to read a story with intrigue, twists, and turns, topped off with handsome hunks that talk like men, act like men, and make love like real men, come on along and look for stories that are different. Stories that are hot, sultry, and steaming.
If you give me a try, you can be sure not one of my stories is a carbon copy of the other. There will always be a lot of dark, hot, exciting sex in all kinds of settings and situations, and by the most unlikely characters. The name Temple Madison might mean a lot of things to a lot of people— but boring is not one of them! See you between the pages of my books!
