Lesson in Truth (A Short Story)

**Includes bonus story Swept Away**  A LESSON IN TRUTH: David's a graduate student about to finish his thesis. Michael is his advisor and former instructor. The two shouldn't have feelings for each other, but after two years of friendship and longing, David can no longer deny what he's feeling. Is Michael ready to accept being more than a teacher to a man fifteen years younger? And if they give into their desires, is it only a way for them to say good-bye?   SWEPT AWAY: The biggest case of Eddie's career and nothing's going right. He's stuck in a stifling courtroom with no air conditioning during the worst heat wave in years, and the judge has denied his latest motion. He just wants to spend a quiet night celebrating with his partner, Mike, on their fifteenth anniversary. But Mike has a surprise in mind this year. A surprise that may be more than Eddie imagined possible.
