Love Lessons by Athena Steller

Over a year in Surf City and James has found his place. Working as a probationary firefighter is everything James hoped it would be. Working part time at the local coffee shop introduced him to his new best friends. Everything is nearly perfect except for the grumpy Professor who James and his twin rent an apartment from. James doesn’t know why the Professor hates him so much, but he is way too busy to worry about it.

With his twin out of town before the next college starts James has the apartment all to himself. Finding a play cape that his older brother Michael left behind from Christmas James finds freedom to make believe he is a real live superhero. He is confident it will remain his little secret until a meltdown on New Years Eve brings the Professor too close for comfort.

Jacob Lambert likes the quiet and controlled life that he’s made for himself in Surf City and is excited for the new college session coming after the New Year. He might not live as exciting life as his twin Jesse in Las Vegas, but Jacob is happy to visit his brother and Jesse’s boyfriend Lake when he gets the chance. Even if he has to push down the jealousy of seeing his brother so happy with the perfect partner.

Returning home after Christmas Jacob has plans to get ready for the semester and continue to watch over the two young men that rent a small garage apartment from him. Seeing James break down after a bad shift during New Years Eve allows Jacob to finally get closer to James. There is something in James’s eyes that tell Jacob that he might not be so resistant to a firm Daddy in his life. In fact, it might just be exactly what James needs.
