Saturday Snippet
Tired from his high
stress work fighting cyber-crime, handsome, Key Alder takes a vacation on a beautiful
Italian coast. He travels from one gorgeous town to another and after a
perilous journey lost in the mountains, he settles into his hotel and relaxes.
In a beachside café, next to a warm pale-blue ocean, a performer hands out fliers for an arts festival in a mountain village. Lured by adventure, Key attends an evening performance of fire juggling acrobats in the legendary village piazza.
Beautiful, enigmatic
Claudio Di Fiore, the star of the show, sees Key in the audience and is
captured by a wonderful feeling he’s unaccustomed to.
Claudio wants Key.
Key is enchanted by
Claudio.
A passionate love
grows between the two men.
When Claudio’s
mysterious ancient family threaten to tear them apart, will Key risk everything
to stay with his loved one?

Key’s fascinated gaze traced each part of the acrobat’s torso. The shine on his skin indicated a moisturizer of some kind and Key allowed himself to imagine smoothing it on, slipping his palms over the acrobats stomach and down the funnel of his hips. His eyes mesmerized, with dark lashes and perhaps kohl liner. Tiny twinkling stars ran over his cheekbones and across the breadth of his chest.
Key sighed as the acrobat soared in a high arc through flaming hoops
as if the height and heat meant nothing to him. This man was breathtaking. Key
stared and wished he could somehow meet this acrobat. The others in the troupe
receded into the background for Key. When beautiful Claudio smiled at him, for
a few seconds Key couldn’t breathe and then, elated, he returned the smile.
As the performance ended, Key’s spirits fell. Maybe he smiles at any audience member. It’s part of being a performer. It meant nothing. Even so, he kept that smile in his heart. Key raked the crowd with an anxious gaze for the beautiful acrobat desperate for one last sight of him. Then the man was before him—older than Key had thought—more beautiful and talking to him—touching him. This proximity affected him so much Key had to force the words from his mouth to tell the acrobat that he couldn’t speak Italian.
