Body and Soul by Aiden Bates

Brax is too young. Too vulnerable. Too perfect.
My dominant nature craves someone to care for.
Someone to command.
Brax could be that guy if the circumstances weren’t all wrong.
His brothers would kill me if I hurt him. So would my FBI partner.
That doesn’t mean I can stay away.
The young artist is everything I want in a partner.
And when danger comes for him, I need to keep him safe.
But how can I keep him forever?
I’ll never be good enough.
My brothers got me off the streets, but Ry doesn’t know the truth.
I’m dirty.
I’ve done things I’m not proud of. Things none of my former boyfriends could see past.
Why would Ry be any different?
He sees the world in black and white.
I know where I stand.
But he looks at me with a heat I can’t ignore.
And when I’m in danger, he keeps me safe.
Will he accept me when he learns the truth?
