Intro:
His business consulting firm has just made Drake a partner when his ex-wife informs him that their two little girls will be living with him until she returns from her two month long singles cruise. Drake is scheduled to work with a very important client this weekend and has no idea what to do, until he thinks of Jules. Jules has been at the firm working with Drake for two years now, and Jules loves Drake’s little girls. Jules has begged Drake many times to let him take his little girls to the playground or some other fun place, just to give Drake a little time to himself. Jules is more than happy to watch Drake’s two little girls, and moves in for the weekend. There is only one possible problem that Drake can foresee with this arrangement. Drake has had feelings for Jules for two years now, from the moment Jules joined the firm. Drake knows that Jules is gay, but what Drake does not know is that Jules has fallen in love with him over the past two years while at the firm. Drake is certain that he can ignore his feelings for Jules for three days. He will be much too busy with his client this weekend to even notice the sweet young god of a man he met two years ago, and who he has fantasized about for the past two years.
Book Content:
Drake knew that he was going to need help with his two little girls this week. His ex was supposed to have them over the weekend but had bailed, as always, saying that she had a sick aunt to attend to that would take her five hundred miles away, and she wouldn’t be back until the following weekend. Drake was used to her excuses and lies. Her refusal to grow up and be a mother to her own children was one of the reasons their marriage had ended. It was too bad for the girls though, the kids that she, too, had said that she wanted badly. She had loved being pregnant, but just didn’t seem to want to be a mother once the girls were born.
Drake had a very important client to meet with this weekend during the day, both Saturday and Sunday. If the kids were older they could take care of themselves somewhat, but they were only five and three. Drake had just moved into a townhouse and had only two beds, one for the girls and one for him. He thought about what he could do. He couldn’t cancel his meeting with the client. It was much too important to the firm. He had just made partner at his business consulting firm and had worked too hard to jeopardize that.
He then thought of the young man who had joined the firm two years ago and who he had been working closely with the entire time. Jules loved the girls, and the girls loved Jules. Jules had been begging Drake to let him take the kids to the playground or something. Maybe I could get him to stay over, at least for the weekend, thought Drake. He hated for anyone to see the mess his house was in, but Jules wouldn’t mind. He had seen his house in disarray before. “I would love to take care of your kids. I can take Monday off, too, and that will give you three days without worry. I’ll get some stuff together and be right over,” Jules had said. That was a relief. There was only one thing wrong with the situation. Drake had worked with Jules now for a couple of years and was pretty sure that Jules was gay. As attracted to Jules as Drake was, he was pretty certain that he was gay as well, despite having been married, and despite having tried to convince himself that he was not gay. It wasn’t that Drake disliked gays. On the contrary, he had been attracted to a number of men over the years. It was just that Drake had seen firsthand how difficult society had made life for gay men. I’ll be too busy to even notice him with all that I’ve got to do this weekend, Drake tried to convince himself.
