and Thomas take over the world! By Eva Lefoy

Arjun Mukesh and Thomas Barkley are two
characters from my novella, Lover Enslaved: 24 Hours in Mumbai. The book
releases today from Decadent Publishing. Woot!
I think of any of the characters I’ve
written, Arjun and Thomas are two that I’d most like to go hiking with. Arjun
is an Indian male, a prostitute and he’s full of light and ease. He accepts his
life, in the crazy metropolis of Mumbai, India, as his preordained fate. He
doesn’t question if there’s another for him – until he meets Thomas. Then, he
must accept the possibility it even exists before he can grasp onto the change
fate has given him.
Thomas is an American business who’s pretty
jaded. He travels for work a lot and he’s seen far too much trouble. From the
minute he finds Arjun’s pimp harassing him, Thomas goes into protection mode
and before long, he starts falling for the dark-eyed beauty. Deep inside, he
needs to rescue Arjun and make him his. But first he must deal with Arjun’s
boss, Ranjeet, who’s little better than a snake with clothes. And, he must
convince Arjun a new door can open for him, allowing him to try a new path.
So, I’d bring Arjun hiking with me for the
stories and the laughter, and Thomas for the firepower in case I ran into any
real-life snakes on the trail!
Here’s
the blurb for Lover Enslaved:
Stranded for
twenty-four hours in Mumbai, India, contract negotiator, Thomas Barkley
searches for a man who can make him forget his pain. When a trip through the
red light district leaves him cold, he turns to Madame Eve’s service and finds
a shot at redemption—but first, he has to survive it.
Indian male
prostitute, Arjun Mukesh, begged Madame Eve to set him up for one night of real
pleasure. He knows better than to expect anything but a brief hiatus from his
miserable life. When Thomas showers Arjun with tender and very real affection,
his heart begins to ache for the more than a taste of the life he cannot have.
Unfortunately, his boss Ranjeet won’t to let him go without a fight.
Amidst a spray
of bullets, Thomas must convince Arjun to take a chance on a new life in
America before it’s too late for both of them.
And if you’d like an excerpt…. Read on!
Reveling in the gorgeous sight, Arjun
came as well, something he never did with his clients, a part of himself he
never let them see. This was Thomas, who already seemed a part of him. Not like
a client but...a true lover. He came over his belly, the liquid warmth
culminating their joining. The very real affection he felt for Thomas nearly
breaking his heart.
The impact of Thomas collapsing on
him stole his breath, sending waves of delicious security over him. His heart
clenched and he closed his eyes, embracing Thomas and holding tight for however
many seconds the glorious pleasure would last.
“Arjun.” Thomas kissed his neck, up
the side of his face, his forehead, his lids, his nose, his chin, and then the
other side. All the while, his fingers caressed and traced over the welts
covering his back as though trying to erase them, replacing the bitter memories
with new ones. With love.
Tears formed, unwelcome. No, he
couldn’t think like that. The idea this man could really love him was too
far-fetched.
Thomas gave him a squeeze. “That,
Arjun, is how a man is supposed to make love. Do you understand the difference
now?”
He whined out a soft “yes,” and
Thomas immediately covered his mouth with a sweltering kiss. He melted into it
with his whole heart and soul.
Long moments later, Thomas broke the
kiss and sighed. “Arjun, that was…perfect. You’re perfect.” Thomas lifted him
from the bed. “Now, let’s get you cleaned up.”
Thomas cradled him in his arms all
the way to the shower, then set him on his feet gently. Protecting him from the
first cold blasts of spray, he adjusted the water temperature. Then, even in
the shower, he caressed and soothed with his hands. Arjun felt...cherished.
Pampered. A piece of his heart he hadn’t known existed flowered into happiness
and drifted freely toward the light, bringing more tears. He buried his head in
Thomas’ shoulder and let the salty drops mix with the water and fall. They’re
only tears from a whore. They are of no consequence.
Thomas washed them, his devilish
hands partly fixed to their task but lingering in certain areas guaranteed to
arouse heat. Before long, their cocks had hardened again.
“Ready for more?” Thomas asked.
“Yes, please.”
Thomas pinned him to the shower stall with his soapy body, rubbing his
mouth and cock against him relentlessly, opening him to more long, slow loving.
And, once more, storm clouds gathered in Arjun’s heart, drowning him with
sorrow for a love he could never possess.
