I'll Be There

Shawn Bailey

Summary

Pop singer Michael Anderson has just finished a concert in the Bronx when he gets a call informing him his old friend Christopher Moore has been in a horrible car accident. Though Michael has no idea why Christopher listed him as his emergency contact since they haven't spoken or seen each other in ten years, he hurries to the hospital. He and Christopher once dated in high school, and if Christopher needs him, Michael will be there for him.
Fashion model Paul Smith is married to Christopher, who is a travel photographer. Paul, separated from Christopher and living in Paris with his current boyfriend, returns to the Bronx after getting a call from Christopher's father about the accident. Imagine his surprise when he gets to the hospital and discovers Michael, the guy he stole Christopher from when they were sixteen, holding vigil over him in the ICU.
As he lies in a coma, Christopher's conscious returns and he overhears two voices. One is his cheating husband, and the other is the only guy he's ever loved. It's Michael's face he sees when he finally awakens. Old memories come rushing back, including the reason he's with Paul instead of Michael. Christopher wants to undo the injustice he did to Michael years ago, but first he needs to rid Paul from his life. Will it be enough for Michael to take him back?

Now all Hayden can think about is failure, and after today's horrible rehearsal, he's certain that's where he's headed. If he blows this chance, he may never get another one. What he really needs is to get this off his mind for a while. The best way to do that is a good night with Charlie, his Alpha. 
Fortunately, tonight is the first night of their monthly date weekend, which means all of Charlie's attention should be on him.

Oh, well. If this omega knows one thing, it's how to deal with those pesky consequences that come from tempting his Alpha. In fact, it's one of Hayden's most favorite things to deal with in the world.
