Accursed
by Saloni Quinby
(M/M Paranormal)
Blurb:
At the request of his aunt, Medium Maxim Thomas travels to the London mansion of actor Ian Northhill to search for paranormal dangers. The first-born sons in Ian’s family have all died on their thirty-fourth birthday, and Ian’s is just around the corner. The problem is, he doesn’t believe in ghosts, demons or curses.
When Maxim and Ian meet, they’re overwhelmed by lust, but great sex doesn’t change Maxim’s bitterness toward actors or Ian’s loathing of “phony” psychics. Unable to ignore their desire for each other, the men try to overcome their prejudices. While Ian performs a retelling of Jekyll and Hyde on stage, a real life Jekyll and Hyde plots to destroy him. Will Ian trust Maxim enough to allow his lover to save him from the family curse?
Excerpt:
It took Ian almost two more days to recover from his bout of sleepwalking. Maxim was starting to feel quite rundown himself, as he was afraid to sleep much at night after Ian had left the bedroom and nearly froze to death without him realizing. He contacted Torrance again and described these new conditions — the fainting spell, sleepwalking and tiredness. Torrance replied that those could be signs of either a physical disorder or demonic intervention. Neither response eased Maxim’s mind.
After a couple of days, Ian felt quite like himself again and was back to working out and rehearsing with his usual vigor.
Wednesday night Maxim received a text from Ian before he left the theater.
Be home soon. Meet me in bed.
Maxim couldn’t keep from smiling. That was more like the Ian he knew.
He showered and climbed into bed wearing nothing but boxers. When he heard Ian’s footsteps in the hall, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
He cracked his eyes open the slightest bit to watch Ian undress. He disappeared into the bathroom and Maxim heard the shower running. When Ian climbed naked into bed, Maxim reached for him and kissed his neck.
“I knew you were pretending to be asleep,” Ian said, playfully nuzzling Maxim’s shoulder.
“Did you?”
“You were smiling.”
“I was?”
Ian nodded before kissing Maxim passionately.
