GENRE: Contemporary

BLURB:
Kratos, God of power
and strength, has been imprisoned in pure white marble for more than two
centuries. His lover can break the spell—if only his lover would find him.

ancient artifacts. He spends his days restoring works of art. When the
sculpture of Kratos enters his studio, he can’t hide his attraction. Will he be
able to free the god or will forces beyond his control destroy everything he’s
earned?

“Do you have some … clothing?” Kratos
waved his hand in front of Andy. “Something like you have?”
“I’ve got a change of clothes in my
car. I don’t know if they’ll fit you, but anything is better than running
around nude.”
“Nude can be freeing.” If he had his
way, he’d strip the odd clothing from Andy’s body and learn every bit of him.
“Freeing, but it can get you
arrested. Public nudity is against the law on campus.” Andy grinned. “Give me a
minute or two. My car’s in the back lot.”
“Car?”
“Ah—it’s like a chariot, but without
the horses.”
“Interesting.” He had so much to
learn. He’d been able to observe some things, but not enough to venture out on
his own. Andy would be invaluable, and not just as a guide.
Andy picked up keys. “Stay here.
I’ll be right back.” He hurried out of the room, leaving Kratos to his
thoughts.
Kratos glanced around the room. The
human race evolved so well. Tall windows opened the view to the other rooms in
the building. A couple of other statues waited in the room. They weren’t the
vessels for imprisoned deities. He touched the face of the female statue. He
remembered seeing the work back in Athens. Praxiteles carved Aphrodite well and
captured the very essence of her faint smile. He’d been vanguard to sculpt her
without clothing. Then again, Aphrodite preferred to spend her time in the
nude—usually with one of her many suitors.
He sighed and folded his arms. He
missed the other gods and goddesses. What he didn’t miss was the water and the
ship. The man who’d rescued him from the depths of the sea didn’t please him
and couldn’t free him from the marble. He shuddered at the memory of the man’s
hands on his body. Rough touches, fondling his ass while the man grunted and
rubbed his own dick on Kratos’s thigh. His stomach churned. Was the rescuer the
man who sent him? Couldn’t be. That man had to be dead by now. Then who was his
owner? He wanted to think about better things—like Andy. He closed his eyes. A
vision of Andy’s bright-blue eyes formed in Kratos’s mind. He could listen to
Andy’s voice and moan into his touch.
“You’ve broken the curse.”
