Burning Bird: An MM Office Romance

by Greg Harding

At a TV news station, the most scandalous stories are just off-screen. * * * "Normally a shoot would end with whoops, a smatter of applause. Idle chit chat. But not today. Ezra just stared at the back of his hands, feeling the world beneath him spin out of control. He looked up. Nobody was looking at him now. Everyone was glued to their phones, or shielding their eyes. Except for one person. Mike, with his hands folded in front of him--only he looked on. Ezra caught his gaze, and like a film strip of a haunted dream, the memory flickered through his mind. His mouth on Michael’s neck. His hands against his smooth cheeks. The satin of his skin. The salt of his sweat. The gleam of his glasses looking up at him. Ezra looked away. Neither of them exchanged a word, though the same thought crossed their minds. What the hell have we gotten ourselves into?" * * * As the lead anchor for Phoenix Today, Ezra Aguilar was on fire. But when a false allegation of misconduct makes headlines, his career may be about to go down in flames. He's innocent, but to prove it he’ll have to reveal a secret he’s been trying to keep hidden for months--a secret affair with an intern, Michael Hawkins. With his reputation and career on the line, Ezra will be forced to air the truth, and race to discover who really set him up and who wants to take him down.
