Topaz is a
free-spirit, loving easily, though searching for his true soul-mate. As soon as
he meets Quincy, he realizes this is the man who has been calling for him in
his dreams and he offers his whole self, body, heart, mind and soul, without
thought.
Quincy gives
away his heart too easily, and has been hurt in love more than once. Still,
that doesn’t stop him from falling head over heels for Topaz when he first meets
the man.
It seems like a
match made in heaven, but Topaz lives with two men who are his best friends,
and also his lovers. Will Quincy ever be able to understand that Topaz has more
than enough love in his heart for his best friends and his soul-mate, or will
Topaz’s bohemian ways be too much for Quincy to understand?

Excerpt:
Topaz
parked the bicycle in the back yard and backed into the kitchen, bags in hand.
"Daisy? Ku? I brought tomatoes and cilantro and some spinach on my way
home from Rosa's. They had beautiful honeydews, too."
Grinning Leonaka grabbed the sacks with
huge, calloused hands, shiny black hair held back in a braid. "What did
she say, Topaz?"
He sighed, heading for the refrigerator
for some tea. "She said I have to wait for him to come to me. That the
spirits want me to be patient and calm." He poured a glass and then
brought the pitcher to the table, refreshing Leo's and Stephan's before kissing
Stephan's cheek. "I don't do
patient so well, Daisy."
Topaz settled into a padded chair,
watching Leo wash the food in the bright, sun-drenched kitchen. One of the
kittens climbed up for her love, his fingers stroking her soft ears without
hesitation.
Stephan smoothed the edge of Leo's t-shirt
down with graceful fingers and then came over and began to rub his shoulders.
"You don't do patient well? Leo, do you believe that?"
"Little bit, I have seen you sit for
hours and hours, untangling a single skein of thread. You might be eager, but
you are the most patient man I know." Leo chuckled, gaze warm. "He's
that special?"
Topaz relaxed under Stephan's magical
fingers, the worries and negative energy of the day fading. "You should
see his eyes, Ku. There's something about them. Something I want to know all
about.”
"They are a pretty blue,"
Stephan added. "I haven't seen you this excited about someone in a long
time, Sunshine."
"Oh, Daisy. It's been so long since I
had a soul mate. Someone who looked at me like Leo looks at you." He
turned his head, kissed Stephan's fingers. "I know you two love me, but
part of my heart is missing. Maybe making those eyes laugh is a piece of
that."
He heard Ku's soft cluck, the worried
sound that meant that Leo was sure he was leaping into open air without a net.
Again.
Stephan's hands tightened on his shoulders
and then pet him gently, his friend sitting next to him. "How can we help,
Sunshine?"
"Rosa did my cards, Daisy. She says
he'll come. That I should be still." Topaz grinned, taking Stephan's hand
in his. "That doesn't mean we can't let the universe know I'm interested
though. I'm thinking some long meditations, a cleansing bath, a few candles lit
in hope." He gave Stephan a grin. "Maybe some more wildflowers?"

About the
author:
Often referred to as "Space Cowboy" and
"Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the moniker of
"Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting, organizing
his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring on a small
secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While collecting vast
amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles away the hours
between dropping the f-bomb and pursuing the kama sutra by channeling the long
lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the soundtrack to
"Chicago."
A long-time writer of complicated haiku, currently Sean is
attempting to learn the advanced arts of plate spinning and soap carving sex
toys.
Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories,
thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.
