Auctioning the Bat

One lie by omission. That was all it was. But that one simple decision cost Zeno his relationship, not only with his lover but with one of his longest friends. Brutus never forgave that lie but put it to the side in the name of his brother's own friendship with the man Brutus thought could never hurt him and the plan Felinus had for the city. Now it has been seven years of a cold war between them with unspoken pining and passive aggressive reminders of past mistakes. When an auction for the annual charity sends out the call for eligible bachelors, Zeno decides to take the risk. He's tired of being alone and since the man he desires shows no sign of taking him back, he will take his chances with the highest bidder. But nothing is so simple in the Three Rings when Brutus finds himself in the crowd, watching Zeno slip away. Will this simple act of moving on bring lovers together again? Or will it spell the end of the Zoo as it is known?
