    Summary

    “I’m a sadist,” Regulus said, cutting him off completely.

    James stared at him, confused at the collection of words Regulus had just said. He was cowering in on himself, like he was ashamed, his hand holding James’s like it was a lifeline.

    ***

    James Potter is a thirty-year-old photographer hired to photograph Lawyer Sirius Black and clothing designer Remus Lupin's wedding weekend, where he meets Sirius's beautiful brother Regulus Black. After a weekend of flirting and dancing around with one another, they learn that Regulus has a penchant for sadism, and James is well...he's a virgin. They dive head first into a dom-sub relationship to tend to their own individual wounds, but find that they love one another's company more and more with each scene.

    OR

    James is a 30-year-old virgin and Regulus is a sadistic dom without a play partner.

    Summary

    James flops onto the bed, sated and content. His bones all feel like jelly, and his chest is warm. He tilts his head to the side, beaming, and watches as Regulus stares dumbstruck at the ceiling.

    “Yeah. Amazing, right?” James says.

    Regulus blinks a few times before he finally looks over at him.

    “That…. was fucking awful.”

    When James Potter learns that his bedroom skills are... lacking, he turns to long-term rival, Regulus Black, for help. The price? A fake relationship to get Regulus’s parents off his back. What could possibly go wrong?

    Or: Bad Sex, Stupid Rules and a Ridiculously Large Inheritance.

    Summary

    “Who’s he looking for?” Marlene asked, not even bothering to whisper which James thought was actually very rude.

    Remus smirked from behind Sirius. “Dunno.” He propped his chin on Sirius’ shoulder, “But his neck always gets a bit red when he’s pretending he’s not thinking about Regulus.”

    “I am not-”

    “Did you invite him?” Lily said, arching a brow.

    James harrumphed stroppily. “Didn’t have to. Pandora did.”

    “Ah.” Lily reached over Remus to pat his shoulder. “Well, you’re doing a really good job of pretending not to care, lovely.”

    James didn’t answer. Because he was suddenly distracted and also choking on a mouthful of beer. Beside him Evan snorted which James ignored, because maturity.

    Regulus Black had just walked into the pub.

    Being a late bloomer sucks. Being an Alpha sucks. Finding another Alpha willing to marry him and go along his perfect plan without trying to kill him su… maybe doesn’t suck as bad as it should. Two Alphas are meant to tear each other’s throat, but if Regulus is a little too obsessed with his fake husband’s neck indeed, then what?

    Regulus Black has everything under control. His parents can set him to fail, they won’t get in his way this time. A deal is a deal, and six months is all he needs.

    Freedom has no price he can’t pay.
