The Secret Life of Thomas Commons
By Brittany Weekley
Genre: Historical Romance / LGBT

The Secret Life of Thomas Commons is about the emotional struggles of Mr. Thomas Franklin Commons and Mr. Wesley Tobias Ashfield as they battle their tragically structured upbringing and predetermined lives. Mr. Thomas Franklin Commons is a wealthy, but bitter twenty-two year old man living in London, England when he meets Mr. Wesley Tobias Ashfield, a cheerful and charming young man whom he is soon to enter into business with. However, Thomas is soon caught off guard when Wesley’s friendly nature gradually begins to warm his frigid temperament, and their friendship becomes more than either of them expected.

As their relationship evolves from friendship to love, they find themselves caught up in a romance that transcends infatuation and gives way to dangerous consequences. The feelings of both men are tested when they’re arrested for sodomy and imprisoned for their alleged crimes against the nature of human sexuality. Thomas and Wesley’s affect on each other becomes so strong that their feelings give way to a slow epiphany that neither of them may come out alive. Both men are thrown into the reality of their situation when they must make decisions based on what is realistic or where their happiness for themselves and one another, truly lies.

I aggressively clasp onto his jacket and pull him close to me. “You already have, but I was not ready for you to take my heart in your bare hands. I was too hasty and you were too cruel; tormenting me with your affections and leaving me like a wounded soldier with no weapon. You have only just recently awakened me from a nightmare that I have endured all my life, and yet, you wish me to beg the venomous creatures away; creatures that have taken comfort in my heart since I was a boy.”
“Release me,” he demands, pushing me away once more. “I wish that you would love me more than you love the idea of me. I bend to your every whim; I care for you more than I care for myself; tis not enough for you. Look at me; love me like you don’t regret it, captivate me more so that I have the motivation to stay in your arms. Do not lie; do not give me the false hopes that you feed to the world.
Let every word you speak be only those of truth. Don’t lie to yourself, Thomas.”
“There is no such thing as a gorgeous tongue. Every mouth has told a lie, gluttonous on the deceit it feasts upon. You are no different, even if you do not lie to me, your tongue has wagged lies, breathing deceit to the listener. You are imperfect, just as I am. Stop tearing me apart for something that all humans are guilty of,” I rejoin.
