Excerpt

SEAN WAS getting really fed up with his housemates.

Ever since he and Michael had got back from Spain, the four men had turned into mother hens. Sean was constantly aware of them watching him. At least, it felt like they were. When he’d brought it up, Michael had said he was imagining things, but then again, Michael was guilty of the same thing in Sean’s book. He knew Michael was keeping a close eye on him. Sean hadn’t said a word. These days, he didn’t trust himself to do so without biting Michael’s head off, and that was the last thing he wanted to do.

Okay, so I’ve had a few migraines. Why the scrutiny all the time?

He loved his housemates to bits, but recently he’d found himself snapping at them on occasion, and that just wasn’t like him. He could see the same thought in Michael’s eyes and that hurt. He hated it when Michael worried, especially if he was the cause.

He wanted to scream at them all.

Look, I’m fine! It’s just a few fucking HEADACHES, that’s all!

He wouldn’t, of course, tempting though the idea was. And besides, there was that tiny voice in his head that wouldn’t go away.

What if it’s more than just headaches? What if there’s something else wrong?

At first he’d pushed the thought aside. He’d been to the doctors in Spain, hadn’t he? The doc had been perfectly happy with his diagnosis of migraines

Only now the headaches were occurring more regularly, which was worrisome. The fact that his bloody pills were useless wasn’t helping either.

Then DO something. Get another opinion.

Now that made sense.

Sean picked up his phone and scrolled through his contacts to the clinic where he and Michael got tested every few months.

The sooner he got this sorted, the happier he’d be. And maybe then his housemates would stop mothering him.

He listened for a moment. Michael was downstairs in the kitchen with Chris, Evan, and Daniel. Josh was at the hospital. If Michael knew he was making an appointment, he’d only worry even more.

So that meant only one course of action—Sean wasn’t going to tell him. He’d go see another doctor, see if there were any tests they could run, and maybe get some medication that actually worked. He glanced at the notice board where his and Michael’s timetables were pinned. Being on the same course had its drawbacks, especially if he wanted to book an appointment when Michael wouldn’t be around. The only time available was when Michael saw his personal tutor. At least the clinic was on campus, but he might have to book it a week or two in advance to be sure of getting the slot he wanted.

And if he were completely honest, Sean was starting to get concerned. He rarely got sick, he ate healthily—Michael made sure of that—he didn’t smoke, and his alcohol intake amounted to a couple of glasses of wine per week. So putting up with headaches was pissing him off.

Make the call, Sean. While Michael’s not in earshot.

Sighing, he pressed Connect.

About

Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C.Wells always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way.

K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, where the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings – writing about men in love was even hotter…

K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career.

The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.

Review: Note: this is the fourth book in a series that should be read in order to fully understand the characters and the storyline.

Michael and Sean are just returning to the house from several months away in Spain. While they were there, Sean was diagnosed with migraines, but the treatment prescribed is not working. In fact, his symptoms are getting worse. No one is more frustrated than Sean, except maybe Michael. It’s a difficult thing to sit back and watch the person you love suffer, even more so when you learn they aren’t being completely honest about their condition.

Evan and Daniel’s relationship is continually evolving into a more traditional Dom/Sub relationship. There is something very settling and grounding for Evan, to submit to Daniel. And while Daniel craves the domination he cannot and will not hurt Evan, it’s not about the pain, it’s about the trust. But with any BDSM couple, there are bound to be marks. When one of the guys sees the evidence of a night spent in cuffs on Evan’s wrists, he’s none too happy about it.

Chris and Josh are still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Josh is determined to pull his own weight, much to Chris’s chagrin. He powers through school, work and exams ignoring the warning signs of exhaustion and stress until he makes a critical error at work. Chris is frustrated with the entire situation, but he loves Josh so he continues to support him, even if the loneliness is consuming him.

When Sean’s migraines turn out to be far worse than anyone thought, everyone puts their own issues and disagreements aside to rally beside Sean and Michael. Everyone is very supportive, and on the surface they are strong, but what would this group of guys that have been held together not only by love and a common bond… but by Sean and Michael themselves, do if something were to happen to Sean?

This has been a series of ups and downs for this makeshift group of friends and lovers. As I said, Michael and Sean quickly become almost father figures to the rest of the group, but everyone had a place in the home. In this final story we get to see where the years have taken them, how relationships as couples and as a whole have evolved and strengthened over the years. Michael and Sean are facing hardships due to Sean’s health crises and Michael is determined to come out the other side stronger. Evan is eager to explore a more detailed BDSM lifestyle with Daniel, but Daniel has to be sure Evan is safe and secure in that, both mentally and physically. Chris and Josh are dealing with the oldest root of a problem between couples of any sexual orientation, finances. The strain it can put on the relationship can be devastating, but these two love each other enough to find a way past any obstacles.

If you’ve followed these couples then I think you’ll be very happy with this ending to their stories. Fans of Wells books, those hard fought happy ever after, and hopeless romantics will all love this series. On a side note, there is another story written in this world, Love Lessons Learned, that you should read as well. While that is a standalone story, this series is not, it must be read in order.
