The Broker by Matthew Dante

The secrets of the past never remain buried. Somehow, they always find a way of leaking into the present, forcing people to face their demons and confront the haunting truths they have tried so desperately to keep hidden.
Isaac
25, Exotic Dancer… likes to party and have a good time.
What can I say? I like to have fun. Do I party hard? Yes. Do I make all the guys around me hot under the collar? Also, yes. But what’s my favorite thing to do? Annoy the heck out of a certain uptight, ex-army boy whose muscles are way too big for his body. Seriously. We get it. You work out, dude… but also, I want you. Right here. Right now. Nope! Not going to admit that! Never. Ever. So, forget what you just heard and move along, please.
Jared
28, Exotic Dancer, ex-army… spends most of his time making sure that a certain blue-haired pain stays out of trouble.
Why do I do this? He annoys me to no end. Constantly playing pranks and always getting on my nerves. Yet, for some reason, I always find myself looking out for him. Making sure that he’s safe and stays out of trouble. So, when the boss asks Isaac to revisit his painful past, of course, I’m there to protect him. He’s going to need all the moral support he can get. Also, if anyone touches him, they’re going to be introduced to a whole new level of pain. Just don’t tell Isaac. I still have a reputation to keep.
