For Wulf, who really got Dorian.
Thank you for all the conversations, the advice, the constant Skyping….
This one is for you, baby.
As always, my thanks to my ever-growing list of wonderful betas: Lara, Tina, Mardee, Will, Max, Wulf, and Jason.
But here I must also mention two very worthy charities which play a part in this book, both of which need your support:
George House Trust (GHT) is a well-established and vibrant charity that was established in Manchester way back, in 1985. They are the second-oldest HIV charity in England.
To quote from their website:
“At GHT we have a very clear vision—for all people living with HIV in the North West to live happy and healthy lives and be free from stigma and discrimination. Our vision is for all people to know their HIV status and to be HIV aware.
“Over the years GHT has grown substantially and earned a reputation (both regionally and nationally) for developing ground-breaking services in its field.”
The Albert Kennedy Trust supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans homeless young people in crisis. Every day they deal with the effects homelessness can have on young people’s lives. They have offices in London, Manchester, and Newcastle.
I
WISH
it were me
.
That thought had been bouncing around in Dorian’s head since he got the call from Master Leo to attend Ben and Scott’s wedding. He didn’t really know them, beyond seeing them at the club, but a call from Leo was something Dorian just couldn’t refuse.
Except it wasn’t Ben and Scott’s wedding, was it
?
Leo Hart had got down on one knee and asked Alex Daniels to marry him, right then, right there, and suddenly that made it so much more personal. Dorian had watched them be joined in marriage, a smile pasted across his face like all the men around him. He listened to the applause, whistles, and shouts from the club members, saw their expressions of joy, and all the while he felt hollow inside. Oh, he wished the couple nothing but success. They were obviously meant for one another, but….
There it was again. Surrounded by genuine happiness, all eyes on the happy couple, and yet that one thought was still hammering in his brain.
I wish it were me
.
He watched Alex at Leo’s side, laughing and smiling, drinking champagne and accepting all the congratulatory wishes of their guests. Leo hadn’t stopped smiling since Alex had said yes. His face glowed with love for his new husband. Dorian had sat through the whole wedding, transfixed by the looks that passed between the two men—and wishing he could feel what every other man in the room seemed to be experiencing.
Damn it, I need another drink
.
Dorian turned away from the joyful scene and looked around for one of the waiters who were circulating, holding trays of champagne flutes filled with golden bubbles on high. Dorian stopped the nearest waiter and took a glass, placing his empty one on the tray. He took a long drink, enjoying the dryness of the champagne. He couldn’t help himself; he turned around to take another look at the happy couple.
All the best, Sir
, he silently toasted Leo in his head.
“How many of those have you had?” Pietro’s voice broke through, making him jump slightly. Dorian could hear his friend’s amusement in every syllable. The slim sous-chef looked relaxed, a half-empty glass of champagne in his hand.
Dorian raised his glass and gave him a grim smile. “Not enough.” He drained half the glass.
“Whoa there, go easy. Are you feeling okay?” Pietro placed his hand on Dorian’s arm.
Dorian’s throat tightened to see the genuine concern reflected in Pietro’s voice and expression. Pietro’s gaze flicked over to Alex and Leo and then back to Dorian. The look of understanding in Pietro’s eyes made his gut wrench. Of all the subs at Collars & Cuffs, he was the one who knew Dorian best. And right then that was
not
a good thing.
