Happy Sunday!

Are you taking it easy? Napping? Watching movies? Me, too! 🙂

Here’s a snippet from “Junk M.A.L.E.”, published by JMS Books.

—

“I just punched a guy who was about to come after you with a knife, Guff. You owe me.”

“No, I don’t!” he snapped, and that was the first hint of fire I’d had from the man since I’d met him. I liked it. Or maybe I had a death wish.

“I didn’t ask you to come in here, and I would have handled it just fine. I was handling it. Go home, Jerry. You don’t know what you’re messing with. These are dangerous people.”

“You don’t think I know anything about danger? Have you ever tried running in five-inch heels? I’ll have you know my ankles were in danger every damn minute.”

Happy Sunday!

I hope you’re well. I’m enjoying the change in weather. Are you? 🙂

Here’s a snippet from “Grateful for You”, published by JMS Books.

—

I froze with my cigarette hanging out of my mouth. Walt Schneider, all six-foot-five inches of him, stood there, still as
beautiful as ever. Why couldn’t time have been cruel? His auburn hair hung in waves around his face, gray eyes still mesmerizing as fuck. The overhead streetlight showed me everything.

Mom set this up.

“No way,” I declared. “I’ll walk, thank you very much.”

I flicked the cigarette into the snow and grabbed my duffel bag. Before I got very far, Walt grabbed my arm. His grip
reminded me of nights spent writhing together in bed, at his mercy.

I’d rather forget that.

Happy Saturday!

How are you? It’s a lovely, cool fall day in Atlanta – love it!

Here’s a snippet from “Can’t Buy His Love”, published by JMS Books today – yeah!!! It’s a conversation between Tory and Wheeler, our main character, a couple of hours after Wheeler saved a kid who almost got hit by a car. And then Wheeler gets hit instead. Enjoy!

—

“It’s all over town, you know. Some of the guests at the motel were even talking about it, and Maury”—Maury Landrum was Tory’s boyfriend—“called me from the bookstore. You’re a hero, buddy.”

I rolled my eyes. “Not even. Although it got me a lunch date with Gregory and his little munchkins on Thursday.”

Tory was astonished. “Really? You save a kid, get hit by a car and you land a date with your obsession?”

“Who knew that’s what it would take, huh?” I grumbled as I turned onto my back. “It’s a step in the right direction.”

“Only you would be able to turn something like this into a potential adult sleepover.”

“Ha.” I briefly closed my eyes. “I’m relieved he’s finally giving me the time of day. I plan to make the most of it.”

Happy Saturday!

How was your week? I hope it went well. I’m getting better after my five-day hospital stay, and then pulling four teeth on Thursday – I think that’s enough health issues for now, don’t you? 😉

Here’s a snippet from “Crank Me Up”, published by JMS Books. It’s a conversation between Marius and Larry, his boss, about a love interest. Enjoy!

—

“Larry, is everything about sex with you? Yeah, okay maybe I’m interested, but he is way out of my league with a major stick up his butt. I don’t even know if he’s gay. For all I know, he could be asexual. But some of his life attitudes rub me the wrong way, you know?”

“And you want him to rub you the right way, don’t ‘cha?”

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!

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

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.”

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.

Here’s a snippet from “Dion’s Redemption,” published by Less Than Three Press. Dion is reminiscing about his first kiss with Nolan. Enjoy. 🙂

—

But this tasting… Nolan’s lips had been soft and supple. He’d taken his time, cradling my head in his huge hands and angling for the perfect melding. I’d gasped at the touch of his tongue to mine, my eyelids falling closed as my body melted against his. The urge to wrap my leg around his ankle and hump him like a dog had crossed my mind, and then it was like cold water washed over me.

I’d pushed him back, my fingers gripping briefly in the material covering his broad, solid chest before falling away. The tingle running down my spine was something new, too. I’d covered my mouth with a trembling hand, confused at the sensations that flowed through me.

Happy Sunday!

Here’s a snippet from “Remember Me Not, My Love,” published by Less Than Three Press. It’s from a bittersweet scene between Terry and Ishmael in a park. Enjoy. 🙂

—

I closed my eyes at his candid disclosure, a sharp pain piercing me over all that he had endured.

“I’m so sorry,” I said, yet again.

“You said that already,” he replied. I looked at him. I wasn’t sure about the expression on his face, but it might have been reluctant amusement at my almost incessant apologies. There was nothing more I could say anyway. My tea sat untouched. I grabbed my backpack and got up from the table.

“Okay then. Well, thanks for being willing to hear me out. I gotta go catch the bus. You have a good night.”

As I grabbed my cup, he said to me, “Hey, Terry Conway. How come you don’t have friends? What happened to all your rich buddies? And why the hell are you working in a fucking shoe store? Shouldn’t you be working your way up the ranks at something corporate by now?”

Maybe he needed to give me some of the hell I’d caused him in the past. Whatever the reason, I had nothing to hide. I shrugged as I turned to walk away and said, “I came out.”
