Complicating Roy
by Megan Slayer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary LGBTQ Erotic Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Complication doesn’t always have to be a bad
thing.
Duke Charles needs a break. He’s tired of life on
the road and never having a place to settle down. He decides to head to
Norville for a rest in his childhood home. Once there, he realizes his life
isn’t quite so relaxed—he’s not only inherited the house, but a cat to go with
it. When his friend from high school sends him on a date, he finds out how
complicated life can be…in a good way.
Roy Mars likes his life as an artist. He paints,
sells work and takes his cat, Raphael, for walks through Norville. He channels
his emotions into his art…until he goes on a date and meets Duke. His uncomplicated
life gets thrown into chaos, not least because Duke has rabid fans who insist
on knowing every detail of his life.
Can Roy handle a little complication in the form of
Duke, or will he quit before he finds his forever?

EXCERPT:
“Why don’t you get a boyfriend? Let him film you. I know a
guy who’d be perfect for you,” Erik said. “He’s quiet, sweet, and loves the
law. His name is Francis and you’d love him. Francis and Roy has a good ring to
it.”
He loved his brother, but this pushiness annoyed him. “I’m
good. I don’t need to be introduced to anyone.” Besides, he’d met Francis and
wasn’t a fan.
“You’ll like him.”
“I’m fine.” How many times did he have to say that?
“You need to stop being picky,” Erik said. “You’ll price
yourself out of the market and be lonely.”
“So? There’s nothing wrong with being picky. It means I know
what I want and won’t settle for less.” He stopped pacing. “I need to go. I
want to take Raphael home before I go to Dye Hard Style. I’m supposed to show
work at Crush Gallery tonight and want to look my best.”
“You can’t take Raphael there? James won’t mind.”
“Maybe not, but Raphael would rather go home.”
“If you’re seen out walking Raphael, maybe you’ll attract a
man who will love you and can stand your cat. If he doesn’t know you have a
pet, with your luck, you’ll meet a guy who hates cats. Then where will you be?”
“Besides confused by your statement?” He pinched the bridge
of his nose, then began to clean up the studio. “Love me, love my cat. No
budging. Speaking of not budging, the mayor still wants that painting? I’ll
leave it by the door for you to pick up. You can deliver it to him since he
likes you more. I need to go, okay? I made the appointment for five and it’s a
quarter after four.”
“Is it because James has a dog? I hear he got a dog.”
“Which is why I’m taking Raphael home—another reason why. I
need to go. Is there anything else?”
“Nope. Have fun. I’ll get the painting to the mayor, but you
need to do something interesting and put it online,” Erik said. “Film
yourself.”
“Right.” He hung up on his brother. Why did Erik have to be
such a pain in the ass? He affixed the walking harness and leash onto Raphael
after he finished putting his brushes away. Once he tucked his keys, wallet and
phone in his pockets, he turned off the lights and locked up. He headed down to
the street.
People seemed to like watching him walk Raphael. How many
people walked their cat? Not many.
He and Raphael crossed Memorial Park to his apartment. He
took Raphael inside and ensured his water was fresh. He filled Raphael’s bowl
with kibble. If Raphael wasn’t happy, then neither was he.
“Are you good?” He took the harness and leash off Raphael.
“I’ll be back, okay? I’m getting a freshen up.”
He watched Raphael eat. “You’re a good boy. I wish I could
find the human that liked me in the same way. Then I’d get Erik off my back and
I might not be so lonely.”
