Light a Candle — VJ Summers

Will broke Dusty's heart their senior year. One unexpected moment of passion between them, and Will freaked out. Not only wasn't he gay, but he wasn't kinky either -- or so he insisted to Dusty. Their long friendship ended, and Dusty was left with only bittersweet memories of their last movie night together.



Ten years later, out as gay and a Dom, Will auditions for membership at Club Deviant, only to find that he's been assigned an all-too-familiar submissive. His scene with Dustin feels like fate, and he's determined to get back what they once had -- and more.



Dustin had buried the pain of rejection deep, but playing with Will conjures all his memories of that one electric moment they shared and the friendship it destroyed. He's built walls around his heart high enough to keep out the Trojan Army, but together, he and Will may find the courage to move beyond their past and face their future together.
