When do you know you have found the right moment to share your heart?
This funny, filthy, heart wrenching PREQUEL tells the story of Gay male model Simeon Duchamp and his Bisexual best friend Pieter Bayer. Simeon coverts many addictions. His main drugs of choice are booze, pills and sex. But, Sim's most torturous addiction is for his best friend. Longing is an ever present ache in Sim’s gut. And now that Pieter is in New York City for a month of modelling assignments, Simeon decides to tag along. Sim hopes that a month living with Pieter will be enough time for him to find the courage to tell him how he truly feels. But that is easier said than done! If Simeon tells Pieter, he risks destroying their friendship. But if he doesn't, he may lose his mind.

Pieter's M/M,M/F Love story continues in the book 'Schonling' (Pretty Boy 1) Simeon's M/M Love story continues in the sequel 'Sweet Thing'(Pretty Boy 2) to be released in Feb 2016

“Oh Sim, you are crazy, but I love you!” Pieter chuffed affectionately. 

Simeon froze and his heart swelled in his chest. He glanced over his shoulder, eyes wide and expectant, hoping to meet Pieter’s blue-grey gaze, hoping for a ‘moment’ that he could run with. But Pieter had stood up and turned his back to make tea. The joy churned into confusion in Simeon’s belly. Had he misheard or was Pieter just being a cock-tease? Simeon couldn’t speak. The feelings seemed to crush his lungs with their enormity, and Sim was torn with indecision. Was this the right moment? Should he just say “I love you too Peety, and I want to show you just how much.” 

In his minds eye, Simeon could see himself,

…moving to stand behind Pieter at the kitchen counter, his hands snaking round Pieter’s waist, as his cheek rested on Pieter’s solid back. He held his best friend in a warm embrace for moments, his own breath catching Pieter’s rhythm and mirroring the rise and fall of his friend’s body. And then Sim was pressing his crotch to Pieter’s ass. Pieter dropped the teaspoon and his hands moved to grip the edge of the counter. He sighed out a breath, shifted a little, pushing back, moulding into Simeon’s curves and the hardness growing between them…

“Are you drinking your coke from the can, or do you want a glass? SIM…SIM?” Pieter’s raised voice woke Simeon from his fantasy. The moment of action had been lost, and Simeon blushed at being caught day dreaming by the man he was having inappropriate thoughts about.

“Um…glass…thanks,” Simeon stuttered. He tucked his phone into his jeans pocket and moved to retrieve the vodka he kept in the freezer compartment. Simeon needed to press mute on the mischievous inner voice, urging him to push Pieter against the fridge and claim his pretty mouth. He couldn’t do it, not yet, not until he was sure. He just had to be sure.”
