The Delaneys and Me by Anne Brooke

This is a contemporary story, mainly due to some hints here and there giving a modern “taste” to it, but for all other that matter, the feeling I had was almost of a black and white crime little story. Liam is a young and handsome man who had the bad idea to threaten in public his cheating boyfriend. Pity that said boyfriend has two twin cousins who are also dangerous gangsters and who don’t like someone to mess with their family. To Liam is offered a choice: or being shot on the spot, and in a very delicate part of the body, the family jewels, or playing the role of Mark and Johnny’s little pet for a night, in public and private. Obviously is not really a choice and Liam is more than willing to devote one night to the twins to preserve his “integrity”. Even if Anne Brooke tries with all herself to describe Mark and Johnny as dangerous men, I haven’t really had the idea of them like deadly weapons; instead they seemed more like two grown boy with a new toy, and they had all the enthusiasm you usually have for something new, overplaying with it at the risk of breaking it. Only that, even if not so daring and more than willing, Liam is also a clever boy, and he understands immediately that, even if the twins are stronger, he can probably play with them and be safe; maybe with some sore muscles, but for sure with all his body parts intact.
This is only a short story, but it was funny and sexy, and truth be told, I wouldn’t mind to read more: I have the idea that Liam will end up as the Master of the two boys instead of their toy.
