Title: Resting on Velvet

Genre: LGBT/Romance 

Notes: Okay I'm a bit scared to reveal this one to you guys only because I have a feeling that this is going to be one of my big ones, so once again, please don't steal this one or any other ideas from me. 

Inspiration: Okay so my inspiration for this story struck during a late night thunder storm. Ever since I was little, I have had a thunder phobia, it's gotten better now that I'm older, but I still can't sleep some nights. Well this so happens to be one of those nights, so I was up watching the lightning flash and waiting for the thunder to roar. I like to say sometimes that an idea for a story can strike from anywhere, well in this case, it actually did. In between a random flash of lightning and the roar of the thunder clap, an image flashed into my mind of a boy, tied to a tree, in a blizzard, and I was left wondering what lead up to that. Soon after that, the thunder stopped and I was able to fall asleep. A few days later, I'm in the living room, trying to think of what would make a good slave novel because I had read a lot of them, when suddenly that same image flashed through my mind again. Slowly, I begin to uncover the story of this boy. Through trial and error I developed this plot.

Summery: In this world, all throughout the United States the people are divided into two entirely different places. The cities, where the people with high paying jobs live, and the Village's, where people who are struggling to make ends meet live.

Another fact about this world is that slavery is legal, with the right papers and permits anyway. Slaves get 3 chances to be sold to a master, after their third chance they are killed. This is the story of one such slave who only has one more chance to get sold, and the one man that will go above and beyond to save the one from his fate, even when the road turns bumpy for a while.

But what happens when there is an unexpected twist in the road, one neither of them sees coming.             

The Basic plot: In a nut shell, this story is about an abused and neglected slave named Austin Jones who is saved by a cop named Rick Velvet and taken to live with him and his two housemates, Olivia and Joseph. A few weeks go by, Austin and Rick grow close, and start a relationship. One night, this all changes when Austin's taken from Rick's house, and trafficked back into the slave trade. For the next four years, Austin's put through hell all over again. Until the night when Austin's abusive master finally gets fed up with him, and leaves him tied to a tree in a snow storm to die.

Rating: Mature (there's one scene that might be a bit inappropriate for readers under the age of eighteen)

Status: Plotting stage/Writing the first draft.
