In this follow up to Between Us, Matt is back from Gatlinburg and Jason
is thrilled that they can be together now. He’s ready to see if they can
become a couple for the long haul. It seems that Matt feels the same
way, so things should be fine. Well, until the police think that Matt
has kidnapped a child from the school where he works.
It hits the fan and there are many things to be sorted out before they
can get down to building a life. Matt falls for Jason’s two dogs, Jock
and Audrey, and the photo shoot takes place, as promised. It’s autumn
and the area around Nashville is beautiful. Matt and Jason’s love is a
beautiful thing, too. Their love is strong, but can they work everything
out?
Review
Kiernan Kelly, author of In Bear Country, writes: Jason and Matt are simply made for each other. Although they’ve only been dating for a short while, neither can stop thinking of the other, particularly what they’d like to do to the other in bed. The sex is fresh and hot and new, but it’s not all they have going for them. They connect on a much deeper level, and although it’s much too soon for the “L” word to be mentioned aloud, they begin to see their relationship heading in that direction. But will drama in the form of an eleven year-old abused boy chip away at the foundation they’re building together?
In “Between Us Two,” AKM Miles creates characters who pluck at the heartstrings. Matt and Jason are men who aren’t afraid to seek comfort in each other, both physically and emotionally. The character of eleven year-old Frankie is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming. All in all, Miles brings us a touching love story and a terrific read!
Sample
Jason’s eyes took Matt in, and his heart nearly beat
out of his chest. He watched as Matt talked briefly with the hostess and
then looked up to see him. Jason raised his hand, and Matt’s face lit in
that smile that just melted Jason where he stood.
“Stupid, stupid, stupid,” he muttered to himself.
“Sir?” a passing waiter asked, perplexed look on his face.
“Uh, nothing, sorry.” Jason wanted to push the guy out of the way so he
could watch Matt walk to the table. Jason's mumbled words had been for the
idiocy of his idea to meet at a restaurant when Matt got back from his trip.
What was he thinking? No lips, no tongue, no body, no hands in Matt's lush
hair that was tied back tonight. Jason should have at least waited outside
so they could go to the car and maybe get at least one kiss in before the
meal that was now at the bottom of his list of needs.
“Jason! Hey, man, it’s good to see you. How could one week seem so long?”
Matt stood inches away from him, and it was all Jason could do not to
embrace him and take that mouth. He watched Matt nibble on his bottom lip
and couldn’t stop the groan that erupted. Matt looked hesitant when Jason
didn’t answer, like maybe he was worried that Jason wasn’t on the same page.
“Has it only been a week? Are you sure? Seems longer. Too long.” To hell
with it. Jason reached out to grab Matt in a quick hug, patting him on the
back and forcing himself to let go before anything started that they
couldn’t continue here. He couldn’t help running his hand down Matt’s honey-colored
hair, making sure he hadn’t cut any of it. Thank God, it was still almost to
his waist. Jason actually shivered in response.
“Whew! Scared me there for a second. I thought I was the only one who
thought this last week was a year long and lonely as hell.” Matt grinned at
Jason, then turned to sit down in the booth.
Jason sat, too, and looked over at Matt. His heart pounded with elation at
seeing Matt again. Since he’d returned from his trip to Gatlinburg, where
they’d met, Matt had been all he could think about. Leaving Matt there and
returning to his work in the entertainment business here in Nashville had
nearly killed him. “I’m so glad to hear you say that. I was thinking how
stupid my idea was to meet here when you got back. Somehow, eating is not
high on my list right now.”
“Me, either, Jason. How close are we to your house?” Matt said, looking into
Jason’s eyes, his reason for asking clear
