Lone King by K.M. Scott

Marius

I love my life. I do as I want, when I want, and with whomever I want. It’s a good life.

I’m the King brother who’s always single, but I’ll let you in on a secret. I’ve been with the same incredible woman for two years. She makes me happier than I ever thought possible. I’m crazy in love with her, like the kind of love I never thought actually existed in real life.

So why doesn’t anyone know this? I like to keep things to myself. Anyway, my brothers would have a million questions they’d expect me to answer if they found out, so why would I tell them?

It’s not certain how long I can keep things on the down low. The woman I love wants to tell the world, and I have a hard time denying her anything. Except this. So for now, she and I will be happy, and no one will know.

That is, until our secret comes out.

Duck

Like the nickname he gave me? I didn’t for a long time, but it’s grown on me. Plus, he’s so cute when he calls me it.

I’m the woman Marius King loves. Except nobody but he and I know that.

I guess to some people that would be strange. I’m not sure we aren’t strange. How we got together wasn’t exactly a meet cute, but then again, neither of us is the meet cute kind. How we’ve been since that first day would likely be considered strange by some too.

That’s okay. We don’t care. I love him and he loves me, so we’re good.

That is, until everyone finds out our secret.
