Excerpt

Waves rocked the ship beneath Eduardo’s feet. Standing in the middle of a cluttered room the size of a closet, he’d never thought he’d be so thankful for gay men. They weren’t women, of course, but they were damn sure the closest thing to them the world had left.

Lincoln had been shocked when the ship’s captain had agreed to let him throw one of his meet and greets. He’d known it was a long shot when he’d first proposed the idea, but he figured they’d make some money for both himself and the captain. But as he mingled with the throng, the same familiar, tired emotions washed over him. Before he’d started organizing these parties, Lincoln had never understood just how much work faking emotion could be. If he had to shake one more hand or ask one more person how his evening was going, he was going to scream.

He enjoyed the business of matchmaking, throwing parties where men could find other men they were compatible with in the months after the world had Darkened; the work was very satisfying, especially if the relationships lasted. He’d always thought the best part was hearing the success stories.

It had all become so monotonous though. Faking smiles he didn’t mind so much; he didn’t really have to put any effort into that. People usually seemed satisfied with his forced grin, and after a few seconds, they would continue making their rounds. Forcing laughter at someone’s dumbass joke, on the other hand, generally made him want to go on a shooting rampage. People were so inane and self-absorbed these days, and if you didn’t respond to every little thing they said, they went all to pieces. When the fuck had men gotten so sensitive?

At a quarter past ten, things started looking up. Lincoln was still walking around, doing more of the same and wondering if he was ever going to find someone for himself at one of these damned functions.

A door at the other end of the room opened, and a man slipped in, obviously trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. His eyes did a quick scan of the room before they met Lincoln’s and froze. Lincoln wasn’t sure why, but all the oxygen seemed to disappear from the room as he and the stranger stared at one another.

Have we met? the stranger’s eyes whispered at Lincoln from across the room, and even though the answer was an emphatic no, he wanted to change that as quickly as possible. He wanted to meet the stranger and learn everything possible about him. He wanted to do things to him he hadn’t wanted to do to a man since those dark days of high school when he’d felt like the world really had gone to hell and would never come back. He had so much he wanted to say and even more he wanted to do.

The stranger came closer, and Lincoln panicked. He’d never been good with talking to guys, which was one of the reasons he’d repressed his homosexual side for so long.

Why is he coming over here? Lincoln wondered. His eyes darted around, desperate for anything that would get him out of this stranger’s path. He turned and scanned the room behind him, but he was surrounded.

“Hi,” a voice said from behind him. Lincoln closed his eyes and let the man’s voice wash over him. It was the voice of a god, in his opinion, and tightened things in his body he’d never known existed. He found himself turning back around, his eyes traveling up until they met the deep hazel of the intriguing stranger’s.

“Hi,” Lincoln said. His voice sounded choked even to himself, as though he hadn’t been talking nonstop for the last three hours, having conversations a third grader might have found interesting. What the hell was going on? Why did he suddenly feel like an ignorant schoolboy with a crush all over again?

“I’m Eduardo.” The stranger extended his hand.

Lincoln took it and almost instantly wished he hadn’t. An electrical current surged, starting at his fingers and shooting straight downward.

“Link,” Lincoln said, giving Eduardo the nickname everyone had been calling him since those damned Zelda games had come out. He ignored the sudden tightness of his boxers.

The side of Eduardo’s mouth tilted upwards in a grin, and Lincoln thought he might die. That one small gesture seemed to light up the other man’s already attractive face and change it in to something far sexier...
