Sinders and Ash
(The Pennymaker Tales Series)
by Tara Lain
 
Blurb: 
Housekeeper Mark Sintorella (Sinders) works diligently at a resort hotel while designing clothes anonymously, hoping to get into fashion school. Then his carefully planned life is upended with the arrival of Ashford Armitage, son of the fifth richest man in America—and the most beautiful guy Mark has ever seen. Ash must find a wife or he’ll lose his grandfather’s inheritance, and he settles on Bitsy Fanderel. But secretly Ash is gay, and the guy who cleans the fireplaces sets his heart ablaze.
Further stirring the pot is the little elf of a man, Carstairs Pennymaker, who has Mark wearing his own designs and masquerading as a girl to impress the fashion investors in the hotel. When the clock strikes twelve, two beautiful princesses line up for the wedding—but one isn’t a woman. Will the slipper fit? Only Mr. Pennymaker knows for sure.

Excerpt

 

Pennymaker turned and looked at Mark. “What are you working
on?”
“Excuse me? I, uh, have to clean some fireplaces this
morning. You know they keep the rooms cool just so they can use them? Makes
work for me.”
“That’s not what I mean, of course.” Pennymaker turned back
to the rack and pushed some jeans aside. “Aha!” His hand shot through the
garments to the dress form. He made an opening in the clothes and stepped
through to stand beside the red dress. “Perfect. Just beautiful. What a
talent.”
“Excuse me?”
Pennymaker beamed at him. “You have exceptional design
skills.”
God, it was hard to not be flattered. “Thank you, sir.” But
how had Mr. P known to look for the dress? Who’d told him?
Pennymaker walked over to the chair and sat. It creaked.
Hopefully the tiny man wouldn’t strain the old wood too much. “I would like to
show that dress to some people.”
“Uh, who?”
“Let’s say some potential investors.”
No. He couldn’t
get excited. “Really, sir? You’re in the clothing business?”
“I’m in many businesses, my boy.”
Okay, try not to be
suspicious
. “How did you know I was a clothing designer?”
The little man waved a hand. “That lovely T-shirt, of course.”
“No one told you?”
“Who would tell me?”
Had him there.
Pennymaker stepped back and surveyed the dress. “Now, who is
your model?”
What? Mark cocked
his head.
“Whom did you set the dress form to?”
“Oh, uh, myself. I, uh, don’t have anyone else. I’m pretty
slim, so it works.”
“Perfect. Perfect. When do you have to be at work?”
This conversation was crazy. “In about an hour. This is my
morning off. Unless they need me, of course.”
“Good. Put on the dress.”
“What? Why?”
“We’re going for a little walk through the hotel. You’ll be
my… niece. Go on, go on.” He made a shooing gesture with his hands.
Mark shook his head. “Sir, I know I fit the dress to me, but
that’s because I don’t have anyone else. I’m not a transvestite.”
“Never said you were, dear boy. But these people I want to
have see the dress will be much more amenable to taking your designs seriously
if they think of the idea themselves rather than me telling them. That’s how we
all are, now isn’t it? I want them to see the clothes. We don’t have another
model, and we don’t want anyone else in on our secret.”
Secret? “What if
someone recognizes me?”
Pennymaker cocked his head. “That’s very unlikely. You do a
good job making yourself plain and unmemorable with your cap and glasses.”
Mark felt the blush. Shoot.
The man had him dead to rights.
“Besides, people see what they expect, and they certainly
don’t expect to see Mark Sintorella in a dress. Now, put it on.”
Mark stepped behind the rack of clothing. He stripped to his
boxer briefs and stopped. What the hell was he doing? He could jeopardize his
job for this crazyassed little guy with his hairbrained scheme.
The voice came from the other side of the clothes. “Do you
have it on?”
“Sir, I don’t mean to be rude, but are you sure about this?
I really need the money I get from working here.”
“Tut-tut, my boy. Hurry. I want to make one tour around the
lobby and public rooms before you start your shift. Time’s a wastin’.”
Mark pulled the dress over his head and let it fall into
place. The skirt was just full enough to swing when he walked, so no one would
notice his cock under it. “Uh, I don’t have any boobs.”
“Let me see.”
“See what? What I haven’t got?”
He stepped out.
Pennymaker
looked at him studiously. “Gorgeous. You don’t have breasts, but then neither
do some women to speak of. I’m more concerned about the hairy legs. Go shave,
quickly.”
“What? Sir, I don’t think so….”
“This won’t be your only modeling assignment, I suspect, so
think of it as a long-term investment. Consider that brilliant young model who
used to walk the catwalks in both male and female shows. You’re at least her
equal in beauty.”
“But—”

 

“No buts. This is your future. Now go!”
