One touch from his
lover and this marble will come to life.
Kratos, God of power
and strength, has been imprisoned in pure white marble for more than two
centuries. His lover can break the spell—if only his lover would find him.
Andy Green knows his ancient artifacts. He spends his days restoring
works of art. When the sculpture of Kratos enters his studio, he can’t hide his
attraction. Will he be able to free the god or will forces beyond his control
destroy everything he’s earned?
Excerpt
“When you are trapped underwater for two centuries, you do
not learn much. I was rescued before in the nineteenth century, if the man who
removed me from the water was telling the truth. He placed me in his studio and
talked to me much as you have done. I might have stayed out of the sea if his
studio had not collapsed. He liked to paint the water and the sunsets. I assume
he is not the man who loaned me, as he would be dead by now.” Kratos rubbed
Andy’s biceps. He’d stepped so close, his warm breath skittered across Andy’s
cheeks. “I would very much like you to teach me about the world right now.”
Andy bit back a whimper. The tips of his ears burned and his
skin itched. The dirty thoughts from his cleaning sessions came back. He wanted
to do more than teach Kratos about the twenty-first century. He wanted to suck
the man’s cock.
“You are thinking.” Kratos trailed his index finger over
Andy’s bottom lip. The electricity snapped between them. Every nerve ending in
Andy’s body sizzled. Kratos caged him in his arms. “I like you, Andy.”
“You hardly know me.” Fuck, fuck, fuck. That was the
silliest thing to blurt out. Well, kind of. He didn’t know Kratos well at all.
“You do not understand.” Kratos walked Andy backward until
he bumped into something. A desk? Andy wasn’t sure. Kratos fixed his gaze on
Andy’s. “You spoke to me. I might not have been able to answer you right away,
but I heard all the things you said.”
“All the things?” Like including the sexual things? His
brain buzzed.
“Yes,” Kratos replied. “I did not understand every word, but
I knew what you meant. When was the last time you fornicated?”
Fornicated? Andy fumbled for where to put his hands.
He smoothed his palms up Kratos’s muscled chest. “I-It’s been a while.”
