Official Description:
When Edward pays for a night of harmless fun, he didn’t expect to get the purchase of a lifetime. Will his nights in Seattle change his whole life in Chicago? Full length story for the second place winner in the Slash/Backslash Contest. Rated M, J/E
Check out the one-shot that inspired the fic: .
Mergers and Acquisitions was written by Touchstone67 and Domward’s Mistress as a one-shot contest entry for the Slash/Backslash contest back in November of 2009, where it took 2nd place. I was thrilled when they decided to expand it.
The original one-shot opens with Jasper, a Seattle escort, lamenting his attraction to a repeat client, closeted gay corporate executive, Edward Cullen.
[dcs_p]… as soon as I was finished, even before my cock had stopped pulsing the last squirts of cum over my hand, I was furious with myself for letting my imagination take over, to let wishful thinking of something that would never happen even enter my mind for a second.[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]I fucking knew better.[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]I knew I would never be Edward Cullen’s.[/dcs_p]
Edward is closeted only to protect his family’s pharmaceutical company from scandal. Traveling to Seattle to broker a delicate merger provides him with a perfect opportunity to ‘live a little’ away from the scrutiny he faces at home. He finds Jasper on an escort service website, and schedules their first encounter.
[dcs_p]Before I knew it, we were both undressed and tangled together on the king-size bed, the silk sheets caressing my naked form as he hovered above me. … I had been overwhelmed with the urge to touch and kiss and lick every inch of his smooth tanned skin. We had kissed, slow and sensual, his tongue swirling with mine as he rubbed our cocks together gently with each roll of his slender hips, moving in the same sweet rhythm as our lips.[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]I remember being so hard for him that I didn’t think I would make it past the kissing without coming.[/dcs_p]
The continued version of M&A begins a little differently than the one-shot, as Jasper prepares for his first ‘client,’ with the off-the-charts heat and sweet naiveté Touchstone67 always delivers. Later on, we see that Edward’s life in Chicago is one of painful restraint as he conforms to the expectations of his family. When he and Jasper finally meet, the sparks are instantaneous.
[dcs_p]There was no seduction with Edward. Instead, we gripped shirts, unbuttoned pants, pulled and tugged and practically tore the clothes off each other, letting them pile up in a mess of Armani and Ralph Lauren on the floor. Our lips only left each other when we were forced to part to remove another piece of clothing.[/dcs_p]
Every one of their encounters is just as powerful.
Eventually, though, we get to the hard stuff. Fair warning: some readers may find portions of his story extremely difficult to hear. In context, however, it perfectly frames the enormous impact Edward has on his life, his self-image and his sweet dream of life Over the Rainbow.
[dcs_p]“I went through it all so it could lead me here to you, baby,” I assured him. “I have nightmares about what happened, I have them when I’m alone and when I’m with other people, but I’ve never had one when I’m with you. You keep me safe from them.” Kissing him again, I tasted the salt of his tears. “It was worth it, Edward. Every second of my life was worth it if it meant finding you.”[/dcs_p]
Wait until you meet side characters Peter Carlson, one of Jasper’s favorite clients; Riley, a drug-addicted street whore and Jasper’s only friend; James, Riley’s horrific pimp; and Spencer, Edward’s devious co-worker. Don’t forget, this is the story of the love life of a male escort. After 31 hella-long chapter jam packed with more sex than you can catalog, it would be impossible to express the incredible hotness. Toys, oral, voyeurs, 3-ways, DP-ing, beach sex, bathroom sex, shower sex, first-time topping/bottoming… Oh, and when you finally meet Seth? You’ll beg for an outtake just for more of him.
[dcs_p]“You’re a virgin?”[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]Blushing so heavily it was visible under his dark skin, he nodded.[/dcs_p]
[dcs_p]I took his hand and led him to the bed and sat down. “Seth, do you really want your first time to be with an escort? Your first time should be with someone you love, not with someone you hire.”[/dcs_p]
Unless the escort you hired is Jasper Whitlock… *wink*
Even if you’ve read the original one-shot, and you are clinging to it like a life-preserver, every new chapter is a must-read. You may think you know where things will end, but getting there is a heart-squeezing ride.
Thanks to Kassiah for asking me to contribute my 2 cents on this amazing fic!
