What if the walls

An architect and construction worker meet and fall hard for
one another. When certain circumstances arise they are pulled apart. Can they
find their way back to each other, or are they destined to be alone? With the
help of a mysterious old woman and a newly formed family of great friends and
odd ball characters, they may just stand a chance!
~
Nathan is the hottest young architect around and a greatly
sought after as he is the most eligible trust fund bachelor playboy. Everyone
wants a piece of him and many seek out his artistry. Nathan however is lonely
and keeping a very big secret from the entire world. He is kind and shy and is
always afraid in the back of his mind that he will once again loose everything
that matters to him in life, as he did once before.
Joe is a construction worker who is large and in charge. He
is what he is and doesn’t hide a thing…except how empty he his life has began
to feel. He is tired of one night stands and desperately yearns for something
deep and real…a love that will last, and a relationship beyond the physical. He also has a desire to know the finer
things in life…he wants to drink wine and know if it is a good vintage, he
wants to look at paintings and understand their secret language…he wants a
better life where poverty is a distant memory. He would happily and
thankfully however, settle for true love even if he never gets the rest.
When these two meet, lives and emotions collide and great
transformation is around the bend and life will never be the same for either
men.
Will these two
unlikely lovers be able to overcome their differences? Why do both men feel
like they have met each other, upon first glance? Will Nathaniel let go and let
Joseph knock down the walls of his careful facade to come in? If he does…what
will the fall out be?
Main Character descriptions;
Nathaniel Langly: is the hottest young architect in Chicago. Sought after by
everyone and caught by none. In fact dating none…as in ever; not really. He
goes on fake dates four times a week, and the evening always ends after dinner.
Despite his status, his business achievements, and his talents…he is shy, kind,
gentle, soft spoken, and utterly hopeless when it comes to seeking what he
really wants…what he really needs. A big strong man to come in and share his
life with him…and a big strong hand on his behind. He never had a father to
show him how to be a man and he has always wanted a father figure…a father
figure with benefits. Unlike the circles he runs with… he doesn’t care about
money, prestige, or any part of the superficial facades that the upper class
concern themselves with in desperate attempts to hold on to their fortunes, and
distract themselves from the miseries in their own lives. The fact that
Nathaniel looks like the love child of Emmet Cullen and Clark Kent, with a
side of Michael Angelo’s David doesn’t always help him in his personal life,
though it most likely did get him his first few jobs that made his career. He
doesn’t think of himself as all that attractive though a lot of people tell him
that he is. When he looks in the mirror all he sees is hopelessness and what he
doesn’t have. Despite this fact, he always finds a way to put a smile on face,
ever the professional and soldier on through all the lonely nights. Until he
meets Joseph and his world to changes almost overnight.
Joseph Hays: is a
usually quiet, very intense construction worker with a longing to better his
life and situation. Not that he minds hard work and anyone can see that. Hard
work turned him into one of the hottest men ever to walk the earth. He is the
definition of tall, dark, and handsome. He is not shy about who and what he is
either, which despite the differences from his co-workers earned him some
respect. While the other men cat call women to no end, he himself cat calls
young college age boys confusing some, infuriating others, and making a few
feel orgasmic when he looks their way. He is the manifestation of what it would
look like if you crossed Eros and Adonis the Lords of sex and beauty, with the
dark knight on his black steed, and then threw in a little cowboy for good
measure; did I mention he was born and raised in Texas…and they really do grow
them Bigger in Texas! He moved to Chicago at sixteen. A
couple of his peers and ex’s would describe him as a blue collar god. He likes
guys a little younger than himself. They are more open and more malleable then
men his age, who seem so stuck in their ways. His friends often call him Smokey
Joe because his sexual attractiveness is evident even to his straight fellow
co-workers. Smokey Joe doesn’t exactly refer to a cup of coffee, but alludes to
the fact that Joe is smoking Hot. He wants someone to share his life with. He is
tired of the occasional one night stands. He wants to be adored by one person
who he considers truly worthy of his time, attention, skills, and oh yes…
actual Love! He also wants someone to let him take control in the bed room, and
also to show him the finer things in life that he longs to know!
Main Character
Physical Descriptions and Inspirations;
Nathaniel Langly is taller than the average man, standing at
six feet. He has black curly hair that always manages to look flawless and
perfect. He has kind, soft, blue eyes, and a complexion that is almost unreal;
looking as if porcelain can have a natural bronze tone. His face is angular
with both sharp and rounded features, and high cheek bones that make him look
as if he is descended from royalty…or possibly from a mythological deity.
Joseph Hays is taller than Nathaniel by a good five to seven
inches; he is built, and broad. He has dark hair that when not tied back hangs
just above his shoulders and around his chin. When it is tied back short
strands fall out and hang in wavy tendrils around his face. His dark eyes are
intensely warm and bright. They are a mix of dark chocolate brown, and copper,
with flecks of amber and red. The guy smiles a large sexy grin. He has a cocky
swagger, his hips sauntering so that when he walks he looks as if he is making
love to the entire world.
The Physical Inspirations behind Nathaniel and Joseph are
Henry Cavill and Joe Manganiello.

Author Bio:
A Mystic Born into the wrong
century and on the wrong continent, L.C. Bellami somehow ended up being born
and raised in Texas.
He was born into a family which has long been in The Ministry. Religion and
Spirituality play a part in all that he is, though as a proud Queer he has a
far different perspective about life than most people. He was raised loving
Literature and The Arts. After Deciding traditional education was not serving
him all that well, he enrolled in vocational school and became an Alternative
Health Practitioner; and later went on to become an Ordained Minister. He had
many interests growing up and many dreams that never came to fruition; however
one dream never left him. The desire to be a published author has been a life
long aspiration. As a Survivor of abuse and bullying he loved to escape into
books, movies, and music. Stories were and still are a lifeline that takes him
to a brighter place. His goals as a writer are as follows; to write the stories
he always wanted to read as a young queer man and never had, to bring the
awareness of God and Spirit to people with a new perspective, and to help
people understand that sexuality is neither wrong or without sacredness and
beauty!
