Happy Sunday!

Wishing you a great start to the week. 🙂

Here’s a snippet from “Paulie and the Wedding Bell Grouch,” published by JMS Books. A conversation between Paulie (our hero) and Van (who was with Nigel, below).

—

“I’m sorry you saw me with Nigel. But his ass is so tight, I couldn’t help myself.” He was trying to bait me, and I wasn’t having it.

I made my response sound as indifferent as I possibly could. “Why should you be sorry? We’re nothing to each other, remember? I wanted something permanent, but that’s not your thing. So you can do whomever you’d like, whenever you’d like, wherever you’d like. I suppose it was my fault for not waiting to hear you say ‘come in’ before opening the door to see Nigel riding your dick like it was a prize pony.”

Happy Sunday!

Sorry I haven’t been around much. I was in the hospital all last week, and now trying to catch up. Hope you are well!

 

Here’s a snippet from “Truck Me Back to Normal,” published by MLR Press.

Just as I took another sip, Bear walked into the kitchen, and I almost dropped my cup.

Jesus, he was hot. My reaction to this man was getting out of hand. I’d never felt such a powerful pull to anyone else in my life. And it wasn’t just because I hadn’t had sex in years, though that was a part of it. A small part, I kept telling myself.

Weekday Bear was all about work—stiff, polite, stern. But weekend Bear? The man could out-flame fire. He wore a T-shirt that on a smaller man would have been ordinary, but on Bear, not quite. It was well worn, with holes here and there that gave me a peek of hot skin I wanted to taste. It molded to his massive chest like it was a part of him. He wore old gym shorts that showcased legs like tree trunks. I wanted to wrap myself around them and hump.

Shit.

Happy Sunday! Sooooo late – sorry!

Here’s a snippet from “Truck Me All Night Long,” published by MLR Press. (R for language)

“That was a helluva fuck, baby. Thanks,” I said, when we went back into the bar area.

“Glad you liked it,” Matt replied. “You looked like you needed a pick-me-up.”

“Did I now?” Had he been watching me?

“I saw you earlier, talking to that smoking hot guy that left.” So what am I, then?

“The bartender told me you only did one-night-stands with guys around my age, so after your friend left, I kept my eye on you. You seemed a little down.”

Oh no.

“So you felt sorry for me, is that it? You gave me a damn pity fuck?” Jesus.

“Maybe.”

Happy Saturday!

I actually managed to post this a day early – go me! Hope you’re well. 🙂

Here’s a snippet from “To Catch His Mate,” published by JMS Books and just re-released today. It’s a shifter mystery/romance, and my one and only novel to date. I tend to write shorter stories due to my work schedule and life commitments. I enjoyed writing this story, a lot.

This is a scene between Felix and his adopted father, Ben, who’s dying in the hospital.

“What’d you go and do, old man?” I asked, as I pulled up a chair beside him.

He tried to lift his left hand, but couldn’t. I picked it up and held it in both of mine. “Sorry,” Ben whispered.

“Nothing to be sorry for, Ben. You took me in when I had no one else. I owe you my life.” I kissed his hand and held it to my cheek.

“No,” he whispered again. “I owe you…mine.” I saw him struggle to get up, so I found the remote to raise the bed. He continued, “I wanted to say…something…to you before I…”

“Okay, Uncle Ben.”

“I…love you, son. You’ve made me…proud.” I closed my eyes and felt moisture on my cheeks. “I love you, too, Dad.” Because, that was what he was to me.
