Jude
Garrity visits the farmers market every Saturday. As an environmental
engineering student, he’s curious about living off the grid and sustainable
agriculture.
And
one particular farmer.
Hudson
Oliva has worked hard to support his commune, where queer people live without
fear of harm or retribution. When Jude asks pointed questions about living
there, Hudson realizes he needs to be honest about his home. Few people know
what the farm is actually about, but Jude is insistent.
Jude
moves to Kaleidoscope Gardens, however, his sexual hang-ups make it hard to
adjust. He’s an uptight virgin living among people who have sex freely and with
multiple partners. When Jude finally loosens up, Hudson is flooded with
emotions. Falling for Jude wasn’t part of Hudson’s life plan. But when
vindictive rumors about the commune begin to spread, love might be all he has
left.

Excerpt:
“You wanted to know where I’m
from,” Hudson said. Jude nodded but remained tight-lipped. “I grew up north of
Miami in a small city. I couldn’t wait to get out, so I tried to hitch a ride
to Seattle. Didn’t get that far.”
“How far did you get?” Jude looked
surprised as he asked, so Hudson reached out and pressed his palm to the center
of Jude’s chest.
“About five miles away. I’ve been
here ever since.”
“What made you run? I mean… maybe
that’s too personal.”
Hudson coasted his hand over the
slight swell of Jude’s pec and thumbed over his nipple, which stood at
attention, pert and flushed, like his lips and cheeks. It was a good color on
him.
“My parents sent me away to one of
those ‘pray away the gay’ places, which obviously didn’t work, but it probably
saved my life since my mom had to haul Papi off me when she told him why I
needed to go there. He had so much pride, and having a gay son wasn’t something
he could live with. It was as if me being gay made him gay. I was accosted by
religion and hatred for who I was from that day until I left, so I became an
expert at being secretive and learned to lie through my teeth while living with
them. My eighteenth birthday Papi and I fought, and I ended up with another
black eye. I packed a bag and snuck out of the house while they were sleeping.”
“Did they call the cops or
anything?”
Hudson shook his head and knew his
smile was pathetic. He still held hope he and his father could reconcile. He
knew Papi would be proud of him and what he’d accomplished on the commune. “I
left a note and eventually let them know my address, but in all the years, I’ve
gotten one letter.”
“I’ve talked to my parents twice
since I left, and both times left me feeling shredded inside.”
“I’m sorry.” Hudson scooted closer
and pulled Jude into a tight embrace. The feel of Jude’s warm skin against his
own had Hudson’s body responding in no time flat. He kissed Jude’s neck and the
sharp line of his jaw. He thrust his fingers into Jude’s spun-gold hair and
drew their mouths together.
Jude moved his lips, pressing
chaste kisses to Hudson’s, and then he snaked his arm between their bodies.
Jude splayed his fingers across Hudson’s chest and pushed him away. He hung his
head, looking down at the mattress in what appeared to be shame.
Hudson took the sting out of the
rejection by thumbing over Jude’s bottom lip, shiny with saliva. “You have a
delectable mouth, like it’s made for kissing.”
Jude laughed. “So do you.” Then he bit his lip and made brief eye contact before scooting back a few inches.
