The Patron

After the stormy and sensuous start of their relationship, Lothar Mintze and Thomas Greenbourgh have finally found peace together, in England. Their relationship has settled into a comfortable routine, and life is mostly peaceful, enjoyable, and filled with the music that they both love so much. Mostly, but not entirely. All is not as perfect as it seems.As Lothar falls deeper into bitterness and depression, Thomas can't help but be curious. He knows that something from Lothar's past is the reason for his lethargy, something related to the men he'd only heard of in passing. Something to do with the name, "Huntington." He becomes more and more obsessed with that name, and the stranger it belongs to. Lothar decides that the only way to sate his lover's curiosity, and hopefully restore peace, is with the truth. The two of them launch off on a trip around the world, to finally introduce Thomas to the other members of his blood family. Along the way, Lothar finally reveals the truth about his past. The whole truth. Will Thomas still be able to stay at his lover's side once he knows everything that the violinist has kept hidden from him, or will those dark secrets tear their budding romance apart?
