An Uncommon Betrothal: Chapter Nine
Alexos and Harry are introduced to expected and unexpected parts of one another.
Alexos Fox is of course quite sad when the long-time butler of his household, the man who all but raised him, retires. He is not at all prepared for the old man’s replacement: his exceedingly attractive and painfully tempting nephew, Harry Sutton.
Alexos, overcome with feelings that are simply too much to repress, tries his best to avoid him, but it seems that Mr Sutton has more than his employment on his mind as he attends his new employer with keen and concentrated focus.
CWs for period-typical homophobia and repression, internalised ableism. Erotic romance. In this chapter, drug use and chemical dependence, reference to chronic pain throughout.
