    About this ebook

    Five years ago, Sam pushed Gabriel away because he couldn’t face his own fears about being openly gay in his small hometown. He had another secret too, but he believed no one could help him, not even Gabriel. He took actions that broke Gabriel’s heart, and his own, but then tragedy unexpectedly freed him from the need for secrecy. And Gabriel returned.

    Gabriel told himself he only wanted to comfort Sam, but in his heart he knew he wanted more. He wanted answers, and he wanted Sam’s love. Just as Gabriel is convincing Sam they can be happy together, events force Sam to reveal all his secrets to his family. These revelations cause all the disharmony Sam always feared, and Gabriel can only hope that this time Sam will realize their love is worth fighting for.

    Be Warned: m/m sex.

      SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW

      Chapter One

      Gabriel gripped the bedpost to keep from crossing the room to Sam, who stared out the bedroom window and refused to turn and face him. Sam fingered the blue curtains and intently studied the pattern on the material. Gabriel had been waiting all night for Sam to say something, to somehow explain himself. He didn’t understand how Sam could stay silent. Gabriel felt like screaming at the top of his lungs.

      Sam, I want an explanation from you. I’ll get it from Laura if I have to.

      Sam finally turned around. What do you want me to say? I didn’t think she would tell everyone tonight at the party. I thought I would have a chance to talk to you first and somehow explain what’s happening. He fixed his eyes on the unmade bed.

      Gabriel’s eyes flicked over the bed and the hunter green comforter bunched at the foot. The bed hadn’t been made since the last time they had made love two nights ago. He set his gaze on Sam again, unable to keep the bitterness out of his tone. Well, an engagement is big news. He moved closer to Sam. "It was huge news to your boyfriend."

      Gabe, just listen to me. Laura is pregnant—

      Gabriel cut him off. "Yes, everyone knows! It’s a very poorly kept secret that Michael knocked her up. But you dating a guy? Fucking a guy? That’s been kept well under wraps, and now I see why!"

      Sam looked into his eyes. You don’t see at all. Gabe, I love you, but Michael has abandoned her. I don’t just mean he dumped her. He has left town. She has no job and no one to take care of her.

      She should have thought of that while she was fucking him without a condom. Tell her to go home to her parents.

      Sam shook his head. Her mom’s dead. And her stepdad? They don’t need to be alone, if you get what I mean.

      Gabriel cringed. His anger lessened a little because he’d always suspected Laura had had a rough childhood, but how was she their problem? Sam, just be honest with me. If this was just about helping her, you’d ask her to move in with you, not marry you.

      She…she loves me. Sam turned away again.

      Laura had always flirted with Sam, but she’d never made a hard play for him that Gabriel had seen. Since when?

      Since freshman year of high school. I never liked girls, ever, so I didn’t notice for a long time. Lots of other people knew she liked me. To them it makes sense I would come to her rescue now. How can I make you see? Colbert is my hometown, Gabe.

      What did that have to do with it? Gabriel shifted his stance and crossed his arms over his chest. I know. I never get a chance to forget. It’s the reason I’m the only one who knows you like guys. I sure as fuck hope you don’t think we’re going to still be together after this. I don’t care if the marriage isn’t real. It’s just another way for you to hide from who you really are. With a wife and kid, no one will every look at you and wonder again. Your family won’t have to worry you’re a perverted freak anymore. They’ll all heave a huge sigh of relief and dance at your wedding.

      That is not why I am doing this! Sam said, putting his hands over his face.

      Gabriel grabbed Sam by the shoulder and turned him around. Yes, it is. Now, I have something to tell you. He loosened his grip a little, letting his fingers massage Sam’s shoulders. I’ve gotten into the grad program at Stony Brook University. For anthropology, I can hardly do better, so I have to go. I wanted you to come with me. I was going to ask you tonight, but then… He let his voice trail off as he released Sam.

      That’s great. Did they offer you money?

      "Yes, but I don’t want to talk about what’s going on with my funding. I want to talk about what’s going on with my life.
