Carte Blanche

A story from the Love�s Landscapes event sponsored by the Goodreads M/M Romance Group. Members of the Goodreads M/M Romance Group were invited to choose a photo and pen a letter asking for a short M/M romance story inspired by the image; authors from the group were encouraged to select a letter and write an original tale. Nash Summers responded to this request. PHOTO DESCRIPTION Close-up of two men, both in monochromatic blues and high-contrast lighting. The man on the left is showing his side profile with his eyes closed, pressing his forehead to the other man�s cheek. The man on the right is looking toward the viewer with striking, blue eyes. STORY LETTER Dear Author, I�ve never needed anyone. People are a vulnerability I don�t need or want. But then there was him. I couldn�t get him out of my head, he was a distraction I didn�t need. No matter how much I pushed him away, he kept coming back. One kiss and I know I�ll never let him go. Sincerely, Amanda
