Chapter One

Glancing down at the piece of paper in his hand one more time and checking that he had the correct address, Justin Taylor took a deep breath before walking forward, dragging a wheelie suitcase behind him. Before him stood a double story manor-house with a lot of open land, dotted with trees all around. Reaching the front gate, the blonde glanced around for the bell, finding it almost covered by the ivy. Shifting the paper in his hand, Justin reached out and rang the buzzer.

A voice came from the intercom, "Who is it?"

"Justin Taylor, sir."

A buzz and click were his response. Slowly, he pulled the gate open and took a step forward; the gate shutting behind him with a resounding click as if to say that there was no going back now. The front door, three feet in front of him, opened and the most gorgeous man that Justin had ever seen stood framed in the doorway.

He was tall and had brown hair and the face of a god. His black jeans were riding low on his hips with a wine-red polar neck. A small boy was perched on his hip. That had to be Gus with his dad's brown hair and adorable face. The man's eyebrow rose as if to ask what the problem was.

Justin was immediately jerked back to reality. The gorgeous man was now his boss, Brian Kinney. Unbeknownstto Justin, Brian had been doing some looking of his own. The blonde had an angelic face with blue eyes that seemed to have lost their sparkle.

"Well, come on inside," Brian invited, waving his hand towards the inside of the house.

When Justin turned to get his bag, he unintentionally gave Brian a good view of his round, bubble butt. A little shocked at his thoughts about an employee, Brian spun around and walked into the living room with the blonde trailing behind him.

Justin found himself glancing around with curiosity. There were several photos of Brian and Gus, some with Gus and two women, a blonde and red head, presumably his mothers although the photos looked to have been taken a long time ago. There were also photos of several other people.

The living room was warm with a touch of elegance. It was done in beiges and browns.

"Have a seat," Brian interrupted Justin's thoughts motioning towards a sofa while sitting opposite the indicated sofa. Gus wriggled down from Brian's lap and raced across to Justin pulling himself up onto the other sofa and finally onto Justin's lap. Looking down at the grinning face turned towards him, Justin smiled for the first time in months.

"I see you two will get along just fine."

Startled Justin looked up at Brian still smiling.

"Yes, I think we will."

"Alright, so do you have any questions before we show you around?"

Too many Justin thought to himself but none were really relevant to his job so instead he answered, "Not right now."

Brian nodded his head as he stood up. Gus clambered down and tugged Justin's hand as they started their tour with the downstairs.

"This is the kitchen. If there is anything missing or that runs out just get it when you go shopping. I'll give you the household credit card later."

The kitchen was huge. The counters were marble and it was state of the art. He would have so much fun in here. There were two guest bedrooms, a dining room, an office, a guest bathroom, T.v. room as well as a sunroom. Justin fell in love with the sunroom. It would have been the perfect place to have a studio to paint. With a last longing look at the room, Justin followed Brian and Gus up the stairs.

There was another guest bathroom and an office upstairs.

"There are two guest rooms upstairs for you to chose from, Justin."

Gus suddenly started tugging Justin further down the passage to another room with Brian sauntering alongbehind.

"This is my room. It's great isn't it? Daddy had it done specially for me."

The walls were painted a soft green. There was a single bed with a forest green duvet and pillows. There were some shelves against one of the walls with a couple of photos and books. Various toys were scattered throughout the room. There was also a large window with a backless sofa below by the one wall opposite the bed.

"I love it, Gus."

Justin received a big smile from his almost five year old charge.

"You have four rooms to choose from, Justin. Daddy said so. They're all so nice," Gus chattered on as he led the blonde out of his room and back into the hallway.

"And this one is the best!" Gus announced as he flung open the door opposite his. "It's across the hall from mine and right next to Daddy's, so you will be close by if you have a nightmare and need to get into Daddy's bed and snuggle. He knows lots of ways to scare off monsters too."

Justin felt his face heat as his mind went straight into the gutter. Brian looked at him with a smirk gracing his lips. The younger man instantly looked down at his feet as his face heated even more before cautiously peering up at his employer through his eyelashes.

Their eyes locked and held. Chemistry built until sparks almost flew but Gus's impatient shout broke the spell.

"Which one are you taking, Justin?"

Brian smirked at him challengingly, "Yeah, Justin. Which room will you be taking?"

Justin looked at Brian in defiance and answered Gus but his eyes never strayed from the brunette's.

"I'll take the best one, the one next to your dad."
