Blurb:


Theodore Westbay has finally decided to start dating again after being dumped by his ex-lover, Daniel Worthington. Alan Peterson, a celebrity chef, is sweet and gorgeous and Theodore is slowly falling in love.

Daniel has never been able to let go of his feelings for Theodore, so he fights for the man when the opportunity arises. His ex-lover has already moved on, though. He realizes that it is too late for them to get back together. Nonetheless, they remain friends. He even hangs out with Alan, strange as it may be.

After months of interactions, Theodore begins to realize that he has fallen deeply in love with both Alan and Daniel. He doesn’t know what to do.

Does he have the courage to choose between the two men? Or will all three be hurt in the end?

Note: Contains double penetration

Excerpt:

“Hi, Theo. It’s so good to see you,” Daniel greeted.
“What do you want, Daniel?” He did not feel the need to be polite. After all, this bastard had dumped him unceremoniously without a proper good-bye. A note left on the pillow did not count. It was the coward’s way out. He took note of the expensive suit and tie. Daniel had not changed then. The man was, more likely than not, still working for his parents in their multi-billion dollar company.
He remembered the Worthingtons. Daniel’s parents never bothered to hide their disdain of him. He knew that he was just a poor baker back then, but he thought he could try to make them see how much he loved their son and maybe they would come to accept him. Sadly, they refused to acknowledge him at all. In fact, they barely even looked at him.
Daniel had two younger brothers and a younger sister. He tried to get along with them, hoping that maybe they would be more sympathetic. He was wrong. They talked to him as if he were a filthy cockroach they refused to step on with their very expensive pairs of shoes. He gave up trying soon enough.
“Theo, I…would you like to have dinner with me this evening? It’s Saturday after all. You used to close earlier for the weekend.”
“Daniel, I can’t. I have a date with Alan tonight. Is there anything else?” he asked pointedly.
“Are you guys together now?”
“I don’t make it a habit to announce to strangers the status of my relationship,” he hedged instead of replying to the question.
“Are we strangers?”
“What do you want, Daniel?” he repeated his earlier question.
“I…I can’t forget you, Theo. Give me one more chance, please. One date!”
“Too little too late. Now, if there’s nothing else…” he trailed off dismissively.
“Theo, come on,” Daniel pleaded and grabbed his hands.
He was about to pull back when the front door opened.
“Hey, babe. I…” Alan called out, but he stopped mid-sentence, staring in surprise before striding over to land a hard punch on Daniel’s cheek.
His ex-boyfriend was no pushover though. The two men were soon rolling around on the floor, punching each other as hard as they could. The only customer in the bakery, a middle-aged man, helped Theo to separate them by pulling Daniel back while Theo pushed Alan toward the kitchen.
“Babe, please. Wait for me in the kitchen.” He looked worriedly at Alan’s bleeding lip and nose. The man also had a few bruises on his cheeks. Elizabeth had rushed out from the kitchen when the commotion started. “Elizabeth, can you get the first aid kit, please?”
“Sure, Theo,” his employee said as she led his boyfriend into the kitchen.
“Thank you, sir. I’m sorry about this,” he then apologized to the customer, who waved him off.
“It’s fine, young man. Talk some sense into him, will you?” The middle-aged man gestured at Daniel.
“Of course. Thanks for your help again,” he said before pulling his ex-boyfriend out of the bakery. He rounded on the other man the moment they were standing outside. “What the hell is your problem, Daniel?”
“It’s fucking Danny, Theo. You’ve not called me Daniel in a really long time.”
“I’ll call you by your proper first name because we’re no longer together. You fucking dumped me! With a fucking farewell note, remember?”
“Theo, I—”
“Shut up, Daniel. Just go away. I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to see you anymore.”
“Theo…”
“Go, please,” he whispered tiredly.
“Okay, Theo. I’m sorry about the fight.” He did not bother to respond at all. Instead, he looked at his ex-boyfriend in irritation. He then noticed several bruises on the other man’s face. Daniel’s nose was bleeding, as well. Plus, there was a bluish-black bruising on the side of the man’s left eye. “Can’t we meet up for coffee or something?”
“Daniel,” he muttered and sighed exasperatedly.
“Please?”
He looked at his ex-boyfriend for a minute or so before he nodded. He was sure that he would be regretting this decision.
“You’re still living at our…the old place?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up. Tomorrow afternoon at four?”
“I…okay, yeah.”
“All right, see you then.”
