The Revival is a short but sweet story which
brings Danny and Frank back to the readers.
Find out what happened to them a few years
after their story in Eye of the Beholder ends.
Eye of the Beholder: The book which started it
all....
Everyone wanted to be photographed by
Frank Melina. Everyone wanted to be in his
bed. Until tragedy struck and a lovesick
assistant locked him in his developing room
and set it on fire, just before taking his own
life. Left with the guilt of that night and his
face horribly scarred, Frank retreats from
the fashion world to his native Italy,
wearing his scars as a reminder. Franks
solitude is interrupted when an old friend
pleads with him to finish a shoot with the
beautiful but shallow Danny Verdi.
Danny Verdi beds his photographers then
refuses to work with them, creating an
impossible situation for his agency. When
he’s given the opportunity to work with
THE Frank Melina, he jumps at the chance.
Normally surrounded by beauty, Danny
finds Frank’s scars shocking. But Beauty
sees another side of the Beast when he
ends up in Frank’s bed and has the best
sex of his life.
Unable to reconcile his growing feelings
with the scarred man and his reticence,
Danny leaves Frank behind…or so he
thinks. Frank has a little surprise for
Danny. He comes back to the fashion
world, this time without his scars. He’s
through hiding. Now, he’s taking matters
into his own hands.
Excerpt:
Frank opened his eyes and sat up. “What?
What is it, Danny?”
Danny walked over and climbed into bed
beside him. “Can I just stay here until it’s
over? I’m terrified of thunderstorms. I don’t
want to be alone.”
“Sure,” Frank said, his voice sleepy. “Lie
down. It will pass.”
Danny moved closer to him. He felt Frank’s
arm slip around his shoulders and pull him
closer.
“If you count right after the lightning, you’ll
notice that the thunder gets further away. It
means the storm is leaving,” Frank told him.
Danny felt his heartbeat slow; his pulses
quiet. They counted together a couple of
times. Danny felt better. In fact, he felt
calm, and secure. Frank had that effect on
him somehow. “You’re right. It’s leaving,”
he whispered. “God, I feel so safe here with
you, like nothing could ever happen.”
There was a pause. “Don’t be so sure,”
Frank murmured, his voice full of emotion.
Except for their underwear, they were both
naked. Danny’s cheek lay against his chest.
Danny raised his head. “What ... do ... do
you mean?”
“Are you that sure that lying here with me
like this is safe, Danny? Do I appear to be
that asexual?”
Danny stiffened. “I’m sorry. I’ve hurt your
feelings somehow and I ... I didn’t mean to.
I just meant that ...”
“I know what you meant. I’m sorry.” Frank
sat up and moved away. He reached over
and turned on the light. “I think the storm is
passing now.”
Danny sat straight up and looked at him.
“You have an incredible body, you know
that?” he said, reaching over to touch him.
Frank closed his eyes. “Don’t, Danny,
please,” he whispered.
Danny moved his lips against Frank’s neck.
Frank resisted for a few seconds, but then
Danny moved his mouth against his and
Frank pulled him into his arms with a moan.
Their kiss deepened, their tongues doing a
furious dance.
Danny felt strong hands move over him,
pushing down his underwear, wrapping a
fist around his sex. Frank released his
mouth, moving his lips downwards as he
pushed Danny back against the pillows.
Frank’s lips encircled one of Danny’s
nipples, his tongue dipping out to taste it
as his other hand began to fondle his
testicles. Danny arched his back, feeling
Frank’s silky hair run down the length of
him, as his mouth continued its journey. A
tongue trailed around the circumference of
his cockhead, a finger gently moving under
his testicles and in between his buttocks.
Lips inched over his cock, drawing part of
it into his mouth. Danny moaned as Frank’s
finger pushed up inside of him, then out
again, then in, as Frank drew Danny’s cock
all the way into his mouth. One of Danny’s
hands grabbed onto the blanket; the other
curled in Frank’s soft, dark hair. Frank had
positioned himself between Danny’s thighs
now, his mouth and finger making the same
rhythmic movements. Danny’s cock went
into spasms.
“Frank,” he groaned as Frank drew back,
smiling at him.
Danny raised himself up, pressing his lips
to Frank’s gorgeous chest, running his
hands over his nipples, then tonguing
them, as his hand reached down to fondle
Frank’s thick, hard cock. He took a moment
to look down at it as he reached under to
fondle his beautiful testicles. “You’re
perfect,” Danny breathed, leaning down to
press his lips to his sex. “You have the
most perfect cock ... so hard ... so big ...
thick ... I’ve dreamt about cocks like that,”
he murmured, running his tongue along the
length of his scrotum. He took it into his
mouth now, his jaws aching as he opened
wider to accept it all. It tasted delicious. He
was delicious. Danny moved his lips and
tongue around Frank’s cock, gripping it at
the base so that he could slide his mouth
up and down. He closed his eyes, savoring
it, so thick, so hard ... the thought of
having that inside of him was driving him
crazy. He withdrew his mouth. He smacked
his lips, and looked up into those big dark
eyes, “Fuck me,” he said. “Fuck me now.”
He felt Frank lift him up, taking his mouth
again, kissing him deeply, running his
hands over his arms, his back. Danny
wrapped himself around him, his body so
warm, so hard. Kissing his neck, Frank
turned him around on the bed, pulling him
back into his arms on his knees. Danny let
his head go back, savoring the way Frank’s
hands moved over his flesh, down his
stomach, across his sex, feeling his hard
cock grazing his lower back. “Baby,” Danny
groaned. Frank’s lips were on Danny’s
throat, his hands fondling Danny’s sex, his
balls. Pressing him forward, Frank let his
erection move over Danny’s buttocks, then
part his ass cheeks; he leaned down and
placed his tongue at Danny’s entrance.
Slowly, he licked him, then flicked the tip of
his tongue over the sensitive opening.
Danny began to tremble. He groaned again.
The pleasure gripping his body was almost
too intense. “Frank, please,” he begged,
his sphincter muscle tightening, then
relaxing, throbbing. With his hand wrapped
around Danny’s sex, Frank rolled a condom
onto his erection and sank it deep within
Danny’s ass. Danny cried out, gasping as
he felt the length of Frank’s cock fill him
like he’d never been filled before.

D.J. Manly has written a captivating story with
compelling characters
that stir your emotions and have you turning
page after page hoping for
the best, but expecting the worst. I really
enjoyed the way the characters
grew and became better men because of their
circumstances and their
love. I read this book in one sitting because I
couldn't stop until I had
read The End. I can't wait to see more from this
author.
5 ANGELS FROM FAR FOR EYE OF THE
BEHOLDER
I loved watching both Danny and Frank grow to
be stronger and loving
individuals. Both Danny and Frank became the
kind of men that would
stand up to what they believed and fight for
what was theirs. The
erotic scenes between them were not only hot,
but steeped with
undiscovered emotions. I found the authors
understanding of the
world of fashion one that not many people
would agree with. By
devaluing peoples real feeling and emotions,
the modeling world
causes people to loose perspective on the
things that really matter-
kindness, friendship, and most importantly
love. I hope to read more
works from D.J. Manly.
