Dear Author, This man is his muse. My only qualifications are HEA & more story over sex. Everything else is up to you. Photo Description: An art studio. A naked, toned, hairless young man appears to sit on the edge of an old wooden easel, his left arm grasping it behind him. His body faces left; his expressionless face is turned slightly left, toward the viewer. On a worktable stands an old Grecian-looking statue. This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Hot Summer Days" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.
