Rhodes St. James is used to people liking him. He's the charming lawyer who always has the right words, and when he's not winning cases, he's fronting a band with his college buddies. Life is good, predictable even, until Theodore steps into the picture. Hired by the St. James family, Theo is completely unaffected by Rhodes' usual charm. Stone-faced, no-nonsense, and frustratingly immune to his playful jokes and easy smiles, Theo quickly becomes Rhodes' new project. It's all fun and games at first-trying to make Theo laugh, teasing him until he cracks. Rhodes is determined to get under that tough exterior, convinced it's only a matter of time before Theo warms up. But the more time they spend together, the more Rhodes starts to see a different side of him. Beneath the stoic, unyielding facade is someone who's been hurt before, someone who keeps the world at a distance for a reason. And the challenge suddenly becomes more than just getting a smile. Rhodes wants to break through Theo's walls, not just for the fun of it, but because he's drawn to the person hiding beneath. But Theo's heart is off-limits, scarred by a past relationship that left him shattered, and he's sworn off love entirely. The closer they get, the more Rhodes realizes that this won't be as easy as he thought. But Rhodes has never been one to give up easily...

That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me. "What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin. "Who cares." Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things. - YOP
