This is a tale of seduction. The seduction of pleasure upon chastity.

In a fantasy medieval world (and only cause it's fantasy I forgive to Mike Shade to speak of tea and coffee in a medieval european setting...) the twins Jakob and Matthias are alike and very much different. Jakob is a man who enjoys the life and eager to know more of the world outside their small village, and instead Matthias is a pious soul, who wants to be a monk. But perhaps Matthias' desire of saintliness is due to the guilty feelings he has for his brother. Cause Jakob and Matthias share a love for each other they only dare to free in the safe shelter of their home, at night.

But one day Gustav, a lord from the north, arrives to their village, speaking of treasures and comfy life in his castle. He wants both the twins with him and lures Jakob with promises of pleasure and Matthias with promises of a library full of books. And then starts the seduction, but in the end, the less willing twin, Matthias, will be the more eager to learn, learn a new eternal life, cause Gustav is not a simple man.

The book is all play in the contrast between Jakob and Matthias, on their different behaviour, so different that only as one they are complete. Gustav is 100% pure temptation, but it's not an evil character. He is a man who has lived long, a dominant man but who knows when helds on and backs off to not frighten a skittish soul like Matthias. And in the end he will prove the old motto, "knowledge will set you free".

The book is quite long, 100 pages, but not so long you can't read it in one session. It's smooth and enjoyable, quite sexy and erotic (remind that it's a tale of seduction...)

This is nothing more than a scene, less than 25 pages, and I'm perplexed. I like it but I feel like someone has stolen my happy ending...

Mr. MacDonald is  a 41 years old high school teacher for a private Academy. He is specialized in troubled kid, and he is known for his discipline. He is a very good teacher and he is proud when, every year, during the Alumni days, he could see his past student and know that they are now good men.

This year he will see again James, coming home after 5 years in Iraq. James and him share a secret: one afternoon, of James' last year of school, he has found an eighteen years old James mourning on the fact that he has finally admitted to be attracted by men. And they shared also a kiss, but nothing more. Then James left and this will be the first time he sees him again.

James comes to speak to Jack's class, and when the bell rings, he remains and now they share a lot more than a single kiss. And then James goes away and Jack is proud to see his past student like a man, and smiles. And... nothing more, not a blossoming relationship, not a promise of a future encounter, not an hope for an happy end together... I feel like someone has stolen my happily ever after... the story was so hot and tender, why I can't have my happily ever after?
