Prince of the Playhouse
(Love in Laguna #3)
By Tara Lain

Blurb:
Driven by his desire to become a successful fashion designer and concerned with hiding his questionable past, Ru Maitland lets his obsession with action movie star Gray Anson on the big screen replace his social life. Then obsession and reality collide when Ru is asked to design fashion costumes for a special performance of Hamlet at the Playhouse in Laguna starring none other than Gray Anson. Gray turns out to be a compelling mix of shy and brash and, despite a high profile engagement to a female socialite, the signals Gray sends Ru have his libido doing the salsa.
Gray Anson has what most people only dream of—great wealth, huge fame, a job he loves. For that, he’s given up any semblance of privacy and the right to say no to the thousands of people who depend on him and the millions who love him. He sees everything he’s ever wanted just outside the bubble of his life, but how can he make the compromises needed to embrace it? When Ru’s shady past crashes into Gray’s paparazzi-haunted present, both men have to learn that sometimes the only acceptable compromise is the truth.

Excerpt
Ru nodded and words blurted out. “I’d say you
just bought and paid for the right to do most anything you want.”
Gray’s forehead creased for an instant, then
smoothed again. “Okay, come with me.” Gray led the way through the crowd and
stopped beside Chris. “I need to talk with Ru. We’ll be back in a few.”
“Sure thing, boss.” He turned to face the
crowd as Gray pulled Ru through the doors that led to what could now officially
be called Ru Maitland Designs. People crowded the halls. Gray muttered, “Well,
hell.” He nodded and smiled as he kept exploring all the way back to Ru’s
office. A couple of cameramen snapped pictures inside.
Ru snorted. “Had I known I was about to be
preserved for posterity, I might have been neater.”
The last door led out to the parking lot
behind Shazam. Gray glanced back at Ru. “Will an alarm go off if I open it?”
“Nope. It’s our secret exit.”
“Good.” He pushed down on the bar and opened
the door, pulled Ru into the parking lot, and closed the doors behind them. He
fished in his pocket and pulled out a key ring, then pushed a button. A chirp
came from the black limo parked under the trees. He opened the back door,
grabbed Ru’s arm, and pulled him inside with him. “Close the door.”
“Gray, I—”
“Close the damned door.”
Well, okay. He slammed the car door, closing
them into a secret hiding place, barely illuminated through the heavy tinting
on the windows. Ru turned toward Gray, who now full-on frowned. “Open your fly
and lie back.”
“What? What the fuck are you talking about?”
“I’m going to give you a blowjob. You said I
bought the right to do anything I want, and that’s what I want.”
“Fuuuuuck me.” The words came out on a long,
slow breath.
“We can do that too, but we’re a little short
on time, so a blowjob is more practical.”
“Are you always practical?”
He gazed directly at Ru. “When you’re a gay
man in the biggest, deepest closet in the world, you pretty much have to be. So
unzip.”
“Hang on. You can’t just—”
“I can’t? I thought you said I could.”
Ru frowned back at him.
“Oh, you mean we might have something to talk
about? Maybe I didn’t just spend a ton of money to buy sex from you? Is there a
chance of that?”
