.“Do we have an agreement? You do not want me to come afteryou, I promise you that,” he said, his tone sounding more frighteningby the minute.“Yes, we have an agreement.” The man released him, and Charliestumbled back, relieved to be at a distance from the beast.“Your tire has been fixed on your vehicle, and some food has beenwrapped up and left on your front seat for your trip, as I’m sure youhave no desire to stay in this house any longer than I want you here.”He reached into the glass container, pulled out Charlie’s wristwatch,and tossed the band at him.“You have three days.Now get out.”Beau and the Beast27Chapter 3Devon stared after the old man as he rushed from the study.Fuming, he turned back to his desk, picked up the pocket watch,placed the item back into the glass container, and put the lid on top.Breathing a sigh of relief that the magical object wasn’t taken, hewalked to the other side of his desk and sank into his leather chair.He stared at the floating watch until he noticed a movement coming fromthe corner of the room.“Aylwin, what games are you playing now?”He didn’t bother to look at his fairy godfather until Aylwin sat downon the edge of his desk.“You think I’m playing games?” He had an innocent look on hisface, but Devon saw right through his façade.“You brought him into this house.You encouraged him to comeinto my study.Why would you do this?”“Honestly, Devon, your hermit behavior has you thinkingscandals and conspiracies.He had a flat tire, and I helped him out.Itold him not to enter your study, but he didn’t listen.You’re the onewho arranged to have one of his sons come here to work off his debt.Now, how could your arrangement be my fault? I didn’t tell you tobring his kid here.I’m the innocent one here.”“I highly doubt your emphatic denial.”“Think what you want, but time’s ticking by, and you need to startputting yourself out there.I don’t make the rules, you know,” he saidas he tapped the top of the glass container.“What’s the point? No one can even look at me without pity ordisgust, so how can I possibly find someone to love me? You’vemade my punishment too harsh.You shouldn’t have bothered giving28Hanna Hartme a year of trying to find someone.I don’t have anything to holdonto before my disfiguration is permanent.”“On the contrary, my dear man, hope is what you have to hold onto.So get off your pitiful ass and make the best of the time you haveleft.”“And how am I supposed to attract someone looking like the beastyou made me into?”“You need to be more creative in your thinking.Who knows,maybe this new work hand might keep you on your toes.” Aylwinwinked.“I doubt he will.Now, if you don’t mind, leave me alone.”“All right, I’m going.However, you really need to work on yourattitude.” Aylwin left Devon alone in his study with the only thing heknew deep down he had left in this world, a dwindling flicker of hope.* * * *Early in the morning, Beau tossed and turned in bed, enjoying arecurring erotic dream.He woke up suddenly with a glistening sheenof perspiration covering his body and a throbbing erection tenting thesheets.His heart raced with excitement and his hand worked its waydown his abdomen to his stiff rod.With a firm hold, he gripped thelength and began to pump his hand up and down.He moved theblankets away, and ran his free hand through his small thatch of darkcurls, and down to his tight balls.He could only imagine what itwould feel like to have his touch replaced by his dream lover’s gentleprobing.Within a couple minutes, Beau’s body convulsed in orgasmicrelief, and he splashed his seed over his stomach and chest.Once themoment had passed, he lay in bed, catching his breath, and thinkingabout what had just happened.He’d been having the same dream formonths off and on, but it had been coming with more frequency as oflate.The dream always had a muscular, formidable man in it, with theBeau and the Beast29most handsome face he’d ever seen.The man called to him,beckoning Beau to come to him.He eagerly ran to the man andbecame lost in his embrace.The fantasy man would always kiss him,sometimes with a sweet tenderness and other times with a passion hehad never known in his twenty-four years.They never did more thankiss, but one day he wished he could find out what it would be like totake the intimacy to another level.With his thoughts focused on his dream man, Beau found himselflonging for romantic companionship.He was an attractive man,standing at six feet tall with black hair, green eyes, and a tone andmuscular build.He’d always been attracted to men, but didn’t get theopportunity to meet them.With his fantasy dissipating in his mind, hecrawled out of bed, cleaned himself off, and went to have a shower.Today, he had arranged to take the day off.His dad was coming homefrom the conference, and he looked forward to seeing him and hearingabout his trip.Later on in the afternoon, Beau and his brothers sat on the frontporch and watched their father pull into the driveway.They allgreeted Charlie and helped him with his luggage.Beau noticed asmile plastered on his dad’s face, but something in his eyes spoke ofsadness.They helped their father unpack his belongs and the twoolder brothers received their requested presents of dress cowboyboots.“I hope you like them, boys.”“Thanks, Dad,” Tyler and Tom said in unison.A short while later, Beau sat in the living room listening to hisfather’s excitement over his trip and his sales at the convention.“I’ve still got the magic touch, my boy,” he said, beaming with pride.“I’m so happy for you.So, when are you coming out ofretirement?” Beau winked at his dad.“Ah, son, you know me too well.I’m going to talk to my oldemployer tomorrow and see if he’ll hire me back.I really miss thework.”30Hanna Hart“I don’t blame you one bit.If being back in sales makes youhappy, then you should start working again.”“I’m planning on it [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
