what s left isn t enough. Gerald rose from his chair.
His father took a step back, mouth hanging open
So, you see, Father, you cannot trust anyone these days. Gerald smiled at his shaking
father and turned towards the hidden camera above the office door. I trust you have
everything you need, ladies and gentlemen?
What the fuck? Senior followed his son s gaze towards the camera. You didn t&
I did. Gerald chuckled.
The door opened and three plainclothes SEC agents walked in. The first one had
handcuffs at the ready and made his way towards Senior.
You re under arrest for fraud, embezzlement and tax evasion, which our colleagues
from the IRS will be dealing with. The agent handcuffed Senior with efficient movements.
You ll pay for this! Senior had lost all colour and stared at his son.
I doubt it. You ll be in prison long enough for me not to ever have to worry again.
Gerald lifted his hand and did a finger wave. Bye, Dad.

Several weeks later&
Spring was definitely in the air. Winter s freezing hold had finally made way for
warmer weather. The flowers were out in force, the grass looked much greener than it had
even a week ago and everyone had a smile on their face.
Shawn was no exception as he slowly wandered along the park s main path on the way
to picking up Gerald from his new office just west of Fairmont Park. The small consultancy
his lover had set up to escape the boredom of corporate life , as he d put it was doing
exceptionally well.
Shawn wasn t surprised. Gerald had the brains, the charisma and the intelligence to do
well, whatever situation his clients presented him with. He also had the connections that had
made a quick start-up possible. Shawn worked there as a subcontracted analyst on some
days. Gerald had insisted he put his abilities to better use than working for a newspaper.
Shawn had come to admit, grudgingly, that it was fun.
Today was not one of his office days.
He d spent the morning working on his novel, a story about office intrigues and
embezzlement. Gerald had laughed when he d told him, but had understood that Shawn had
wanted to put his experience with Apollo Laboratories to good use. He d also agreed that
people were probably interested to read stories that covered some of their current concerns
about corporate and financial issues.
After a quick lunch he d taken the subway to Vine, where he d done research into the
major US accounting scandals of this century in the business sciences branch of the
Philadelphia Library. He d found some fascinating details and was beginning to think there
was potential for at least one sequel to his book. The available material was considerable.
A short cab ride later he got out at the south end of Fairmont Park and walked the rest
of the way. Exercise like this was great for relaxing his mind and coming up with new ideas
for his books. The digital voice recorder was always in his hand, and he d spoken idea after
idea into it during the last hour.
Now it was time to stop working and focus on his lover.
Speaking of whom&

The stunning man was already standing in front of his office building, briefcase in hand
and with a wide smile appearing on his face as soon as he saw Shawn.
Hey, sweetheart. Gerald took his hand and squeezed, never mind what anyone might
have to say. Thanks for coming to pick me up.
It s my pleasure, and you know it. Shawn squeezed back.
I do, but I m not going to take you for granted. Ever. Gerald smiled. So, where are
you taking me tonight?
It had become their favourite hobby to find new restaurants and surprise one another
with a new and different place to go once a week. It wasn t helping their waistlines, but then
what did they have a home gym for? And it did wonders for keeping the romance alive, so
he wasn t going to complain about the odd pound here or there that he ended up having to
work off again on the treadmill or rower.
The New Tavern. Shawn got in position to wave down a cab. It s been around since
1933 and has a great dining room with a hardwood floor. The food is supposed to be fresh
and comes in large quantities, so I hope you re hungry.
I m always hungry at the end of the day, you know that. Gerald followed him into
the cab and waited for him to give the driver the restaurant s address. And not just for food,
you know?
Gerald! He was glad his lover had whispered that last statement, but the sudden flow
of blood to his groin was still disconcerting. One of these days he was going to faint from the
sudden lack of it in his brain, he was sure. Nobody had ever made him want like Gerald. His
lover could get him going with just a few words. Sometimes a glance was enough.
What? Gerald s innocent face only served to make Shawn even harder.
And now he had to wait several hours until they could do something about it. He liked
a bit of tension, having to wait for his pleasure, but this was going to push his limits.
The food was excellent, as promised by the online reviews, but the hot glances Gerald
kept sending his way kept him distracted from enjoying his appetiser, a very tasty arugula
salad with candied walnuts. By the time their main course arrived veal and shrimp
Pavarotti for him, and veal Parmesan for Gerald his lover had upped the ante and was

sliding his foot up and down Shawn s leg under the table in a slow and very arousing
rhythm.
It was absolutely maddening!
He was ready to leave without dessert, sure he was way too horny to even taste it. But
Gerald insisted, an evil twinkle in his eyes. He couldn t deny the man, so he gave in and
