Beneath His Robes by S.K. Pryntz

Description

As old desires resurface, the line between sacrifice and obsession blurs, threatening to draw them both into a place they cannot escape…

Elias: I took a vow to God, to my faith, to my people. As a priest, I am bound by duty, but there’s something I can never escape—Ronan.

I chose this life—a life of celibacy and sacrifice. I convinced myself it was what I wanted. To move on and let go of the past I could never have. To let go of him. His every word pulls me back where I can’t forget and awakens my own hidden desires.

I thought I had buried him—buried us—but the truth is, I never stopped loving him.

Ronan: I should have never come back. But how could I stay away when the man I still love haunts my dreams? When I left, I thought I could move on, but the truth is—I never did.

Despite the bodies I put beneath me, it was Elias I heard screaming my name. It was always him. I came back seeking closure, but when I saw him again, standing there in his priest’s robes, cold and distant, I realized he wasn’t the sweet boy I had left behind.

I can’t stop myself from demanding everything I want and need from him. I can’t stop begging for more. I would worship every part of his body and soul. If he would just let me in…I would be his god.

One bound by duty and the other caged with regret, Elias and Ronan are forced to confront the past they’ve both tried to bury…or will succumb to the fire of their love that’s spread too far to extinguish?
