<span style="background: white; color: #181818;"><i>It was only a
game, right? An adult twist on "Capture the Flag". Very adult,
actually. Especially the "flag" and where it went. In fact, the only
similarity between the kid version and the adult version was you still needed
to capture your opponent's flag to win. So how the hell had Camden ended up
here? Oh yeah, that's right, Tanner, Camden's good buddy from college. He was
not going to let Camden waste another birthday. In fact, he was hell-bent on
getting Camden laid. So much so, the idiot set up this entire weekend gig. And
that's where Camden found himself now; on a remote island, crashing through the
woods, playing a chase and capture game, trying like hell to stay ahead of his
pursuer. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #181818;"><i>But why was he
the one being chased? Why was Camden the prey and that big, sexy, dark haired,
muscle bound, relentless god of a man, Gunner, the hunter? It should be the
other way around because it was Camden's birthday, damn it! Well, thankfully
there were going to be three rounds played because it looked like Camden was
going down before even reaching the first check point. Yep. Going down on all
fours, flag confiscated and…well, let’s just say he would be screwed.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></i></span><span style="color: #181818;"><i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“So, Tanner
told me you had a nasty breakup with your last…lover.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Camden
choked and nearly spit his coffee right back out. “Tanner has a big mouth,” he
growled, wiping his mouth and setting his cup down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Gunner
laughed as he looked around tentatively. “That surprises you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Camden
sighed. “No.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“So what
happened?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Camden
moaned. Crap, that idiot of a so-called friend. What the hell was he trying to
do? If this was his way of getting Camden laid it wasn’t any kind of right path
to take. Keep emotions and shit out of it. But he decided to answer the
question anyway. He would just have to try harder to keep his heart safe. This
was nothing but a diversion for all of them. No one was going home engaged to
be married.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Keith was
his name. And I simply figured out the guy was nuts, that’s all.” Camden took a
long sip from the coffee cup, relishing the heat and the knowledge that sweet
caffeine was making its way to his veins. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Nuts?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Camden eyed
Gunner as he watched him look around the room. “What are you doing? Picking out
targets?” For some reason it irritated him that Gunner just might be sizing up
the other men in the room, because Camden hadn’t missed how they were certainly
sizing him up. This god he sat with was want for nothing and each and every one
of them had to know that by now. They acted like school girls giggling behind
their hands and all but pointing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Just making
sure—how did you put it again—<i>nerd face</i>—isn’t
lurking around anywhere.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Camden had
to laugh. “What? Why?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Gunner’s
beautiful blue eyes came back to rest on Camden’s face. “If he comes, and he
will, he’ll sit here and we’ll have to stop talking. I don’t want him to
overhear anything you and I talk about.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It was so
matter of fact, so genuine, Camden’s heart leaped. Then he saw Gunner smile. If
he hadn’t already been tumbling down that steep hill into the bottomless
ravine, that smile would have surly sent him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“So how nuts
we talking? Babbling idiot or evil doer?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Camden had
to laugh again, because it took him a second to come back to the original
question. “You mean Keith? Probably babbling, I guess. Actually, he just…he
constantly thought I was cheating on him. Drove me crazy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Were you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“What?
Cheating? Hell, no! I don’t do things like that. But it never stopped him from
thinking it and grilling me day in and day out about it. ‘Where’d you go for
lunch? With who? Who else did you see?’ He even hacked into my email to be able
to read everything coming in and going out. It wasn’t so bad when it was my
personal email, but somehow he was able to get into the one at work, too. I
never had anything to hide, but it was still an invasion. Not to mention the
fact he obviously didn’t trust me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Geez. The
guys <i>was</i> a fruit loop.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“That’s not
the half of it. Once he even hid out in the bushes outside where I work and
watched me with binoculars. Some old lady saw him and called the cops and the
next thing I know I get called into the office and given a warning letter like
I had something to do with it. They eventually rescinded the letter, but it was
fucking embarrassing to find out you’re being stalked by your own boyfriend.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“That when
you ended it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“I wish. No.
He claimed to have had a bad reaction to some pain meds he was on at the time.
He had hurt his back and was off work and was taking Vicodin and he swore they
were making him loopy. No, I waited until a year ago today—yep, you got it, on
my birthday—to come home to every piece of glass I owned broken and lying all
over my apartment. Keith was yelling and screaming obscenities while being pushed
up against the wall in a police headlock, all the while my next door neighbor,
Mrs. Erickson, was wagging her finger at me telling me I’m going to hell
because of being gay.” He took another large sip of coffee. “Then, while I’m
cleaning up the mess after the police took Keith away, my landlord shows up
with eviction papers. Happy birthday to me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Damn.
That’s messed up. Tanner also said something about your car?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh yeah.
Smashed to smithereens with a baseball bat the very next day.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Keith?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“I never saw
him, but he was out on bail and the bat looked suspiciously like his. Who else
would do it? But I didn’t need evidence to get a restraining order on him. Not
that he paid any attention to it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Where is he
now?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“No clue,
really. Hopefully he lost interest in bullying me and has moved on. But…it’s
taken me a bit longer.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“What do you
mean?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“I…well,
this is the first time… Let’s just say my good buddy, Tanner, intends I get
laid this weekend.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Gunner
smiled. It looked feral, like the man was going to attack at any moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

BIO</span></b><span style="background: white; color: #181818;">:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white;">Hurri Cosmo lives in Minnesota where she holds tight to the
idea that there, where it’s cold a good part of the year, she won’t age as
fast. Yep, she avoids the truth as much as she avoids mirrors. But one of the
reasons she loves writing is reality doesn’t always offer up a “happily ever
after” and being able to take control of that is a powerful lure. Being a happy
ending junkie, writing just makes them easier to find. Oh, she doesn’t mind
“real life” and she does try to at least keep it in mind when she writes her
stories, but she truly loves creating a wonderful couple, knowing they will
fall in love and have their HEA. Every - single - time. And, of course, that is
exactly the reason she loves reading this genre, too. Give her a glass of red
wine, some dark chocolate, and her computer, whether she is reading or writing,
and she will entertain herself for hours. The fact she actually gets paid to do
it is Snickers bars on the frosting on the cake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="BodyCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Simon sat at his desk, looking over yet another
financial report. The numbers were swimming on the screen, all blurring into
one large incomprehensible blob. He pushed back from his desk and rubbed his
eyes. They were watering from staring at his computer for so long.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">He stood and walked to the window. The view wasn’t
anything breathtaking, but Simon still loved it anyway. He was on the first
floor and he could see the town he loved from his window.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">His mind wasn’t on his work. Rarely had been since he’d
found out he was going to be a father. Yes, he was already a dad. He loved
Hayley with all his heart and treated her as if she were his own. But the utter
joy he’d felt the morning they discovered Zack was carrying had stayed with him
all this time, even seven weeks later.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Dr. Owens had examined Zack and let them know that he
was due to deliver at the end of February. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Only </span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">four</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> weeks</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> away and Simon couldn’t wait. He’d missed out on Hayley’s early years,
and after watching his brothers with their children, Simon really couldn’t wait
to hold his son or daughter. He was even looking forward to the midnight
feedings and the dirty diapers.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">He checked his watch. Seeing it was coming up for four
in the afternoon, Simon decided to call it a day. He didn’t usually leave that
early, but there was nothing in his tray that couldn’t wait for tomorrow, and
frankly, he couldn’t concentrate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Simon wanted to see his mate.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Zack was stunning all swollen with his child. Zack
might not think so, but Simon did. The knowledge that he had filled his mate
with his seed and they had created life together struck at the heart of Simon.
He wanted to growl with pride every time he laid eyes on the love of his life.
He didn’t think the rest of his family would appreciate it, though, so kept his
triumphant growls to himself.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Simon packed away his paperwork and shut down his
computer. He pocketed his phone and grabbed his car keys. On his way out</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">,</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> he stopped at his personal assistant’s desk.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“Mara, I’m taking the rest of the afternoon off.”</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Mara </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">looked up</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> from the papers she was reading through. “Everything
okay</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">,</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> boss?” She </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">eyed</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> him quizzically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">He couldn’t blame her, he didn’t often leave early.
Although since Hayley and Zack had come into his life</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">,</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> he no longer stayed late well after everyone else had
left like he used to.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“Everything’s fine. Just having some trouble
concentrating and my eyes are starting to hurt.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Simon</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> smiled. He couldn’t exactly tell her that he wanted
to get home to his pregnant mate and see how the man was doing. “Figured I’d
call it a day and come back tomorrow refreshed and ready for a new day.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“See you in the morning, then.”</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“Bye.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Simon felt better just walking out of work. The fact
that he would soon get to see Zack was a major factor in his cheerfulness. He
decided to stop at the local bakery on the way home and pick up one of the
lemon meringue pies Zack loved. Both Hayley and Simon enjoyed them as well, but
watching Zack eat a piece was nothing short of erotic. Simon would have to make
sure there was some left over and feed it to his mate in bed tonight once
Hayley was asleep.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">He could picture the way Zack would dart his tongue
out to lick the fork, making sure he gathered every last morsel of cake. The
quiet moan that would work its way out of Zack’s lips as he savoured the sweet
and tangy pie. The sight of his throat working as he swallowed. <i>Fuck!</i> Simon reached down to discreetly
adjust his suddenly hard and aching prick as he walked down the street toward
the bakery. He couldn’t wait to get home and get his mate alone in bed.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Living under his mum and dad’s roof again after so
many years had been a major adjustment, especially because he now had Zack with
him. He’d never really thought about the logistics of making love to his mate.
The windows of the house were opened during the night to let the cool breeze
through. They used fans as well, but they didn’t make much noise. There was no
way in hell he wanted his folks to hear him having sex</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">,</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> so they had to keep things very sedate and quiet.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Simon missed pounding his mate into the mattress. They
had tried that </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">the</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> night after they’d moved in and found the bed
squeaked outrageously. Zack had turned the most adorable shade of red and put a
stop to their actions almost immediately.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BodyCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Not that Simon was complaining. He loved his mate any
way he could get him. With Zack’s girth increasing steadily over the last month</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">,</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> things had slowed down even further. The last thing
Simon wanted to do was hurt his mate or their cub in any way. Zack kept telling
him that he wouldn’t hurt them</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">,</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> but Simon prefer</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">red</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"> to err on the side of caution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="BodyCxSpLast" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Tonight would be an exercise in restraint for him, but
he didn’t care. His mate deserved a treat. He knew his mother was more than
likely driving his poor mate up the wall. Simon could remember what it was like
when they were growing up and one of them was injured in any way. The woman
turned into the world’s biggest mother hen. Now she had one of her sons-in-law
living under her roof and pregnant with another of her grandcubs. Simon
shuddered to think what she was like.</span><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

smallest of Australia's capital cities. Born and raised in the state she's a
Territorian through and through. Growing up Toni hated english with a passion
(as her editors can probably attest to) and found her strength lies with
numbers. <br />

Now, though, she loves escaping to the worlds she creates and hopes to continue
to do so for many years to come. She's a single mother of one and works full
time. When she's not writing you can just about guarantee that she will be
reading one of the many MM authors she loves.<br />

Robert Chandler is a writer, filmmaker and sexual revolutionary. Since an early age, he dreamed of telling stories of adventure that readers would masturbate to, but put those dreams aside to focus on his cats and career. He finally worked up the nerve to put fingers to keys with his first novel, Fifty Shades of Foreskin. He is also the creator of the popular adult website, Fantastic Foreskin.<br />

I pull the door open to see a man in his early twenties with a very closely cropped, almost shaved, head. He’s young and he looks it. He’s dressed in the standard black slacks and crisp white button-down shirt but there’s something almost primal about him. It’s like he’s in a costume he doesn't belong in. I wonder what he looks like when he's not working.<br />
"Your… dinner, sir." <br />
The room-service guy, "Kieron" according to his name tag, is giving me a slight look of surprise while trying to maintain his luxury-hotel professionalism. Is it because I'm too young to be in a hotel like this? Is he getting all judgy with me? His eyes keep darting to my middle and lingering. What is it?<br />
I look down at myself.<br />
"Oh fuck!" <br />
I'm completely naked. Like, no-clothes, my-dick-is-out naked. In my haste to answer the door, I completely forgot about the bath and the nap. The towel, my only hope for modesty, is still lying way over on the bed. Worst of all, I'm hard. I must have been having some great dreams because I'm sporting some massive post-nap wood. Looking down I see a silvery drop of glistening pre-cum spill from the slit at the tip of my cockhead that barely peeks out from its foreskin covering. My entire body goes red in embarrassment.<br />
"Uh, uh," I stammer for a good minute I'm sure.<br />
"I can set this up for you, sir," Kieron tells me, ignoring the 800-pound boner in the room. <br />
"Come in," I step out of the way, trying not to look my server in the eye. I grip my cock in one hand, for all the good it does. The young Brit has already seen everything I've got and hiding it now is completely pointless. Yet, still I try. He gives me a reassuring don't-worry-I've-seen-it-all smile. He wheels the cart into the room, circling around me to set it up at the table. I make a path to the bathroom to grab a robe. I clumsily bump into him as I try to pass. I suddenly feel a hand on my cock. <br />
I freeze. Kieron stares into my eyes, completely unmoving. His eyes are so blue. And maybe just a little scary. His hand is still wrapped around my pole, which throbs with excitement. He doesn’t stroke it. He just holds it. There’s something so sexual about Kieron’s animal look. I feel like anything could happen. He raises one eyebrow as he pulls his hand over my cock and squeezes the tip of my foreskin. I can feel my pre-cum drain into his palm. He brings his hand to his mouth and licks it.<br />
"I'm bloody hungry too!"<br />
Before I know it, his lips attack my mouth. He kisses me roughly and I taste my own pre-cum on him. He grabs the back of my head and pulls me so close. He never takes his hand off my cock as we stand there making out. I'm naked, but Kieron is still in that formal uniform, the costume that seems so wrong on a guy so rough, so sexual. Now I'm experiencing the real Kieron. He keeps rubbing my shaft, slowly and deliberately. My foreskin rubs over my wet and sensitive dickhead. I think Kieron knows that if he goes too fast, I'll explode. He knows exactly how to work my cock. I'll bet Kieron knows a lot about cock. <br />
I guide him, still attached by the mouth and cock, toward the bedroom. Light headed with excitement, we both fall to the ground before we can make it to the bed. We separate, but only long enough to get that unfortunate uniform off Kieron’s body. There’s a thin sheen of sweat across his skin. He smells wonderful, like a man who’s been working all day. So natural. <br />
I stare down at his body. He has a light dusting of hair across the front of his pale skin. He’s thin but toned. He’s got the kind of hot body that doesn't get built in the gym, but by working hard and skipping meals so he can afford drinks and cigarettes. He wears a chunky metal chain around his neck that dips down to his chest. Tattoos scatter his body including a large block of text on the center of his back. But I'm not up for reading right now. <br />
I rub my hand over the light reddish-brown fur on his chest. A dark patch leads down to his belly button and then to his crotch. His soft pubes are unshaved but there’s not a massive amount of hair there. The best part about his body is definitely his cock. It’s as big as mine, but with a longer foreskin. He has so much foreskin. I feel jealous and turned on.<br />
"I hope you're enjoying your stay, sir," Kieron says, smiling right at me. "It’s a pleasure serving you." He looks rough, but sweet at the same time. I'm very interested in the rough part. <br />
"Then fuck me," I tell him. My cock is painfully pulsing. My body needs to feel his dick inside of me. "Fuck me!" <br />
We roll on the floor and I'm on top. I push our dicks together, squeezing them and letting our pre-cum run and mix down our long shafts. I moan deeply.<br />
His smile widens as he rolls me over on to my back. "Only if you stick that bloody-huge fucking American cock deep inside me fucking hole first." <br />
I moan again. If he keeps talking, he won't have to fuck me. I’ll cum just listening to his voice. <br />
Kieron pins my hands with his and kisses me hard. I feel the stubble from his face. Everything about him is so rough, so wonderfully unpolished. He’s certainly not the kind of guy on those fancy British tea-and-tophat shows my mom loves to watch on PBS. He’s the type of English guy who probably knows all of the dirtiest parts of London. And they all know him. I just want to drink everything about him in. I’ve never experienced a guy like this in Texas.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Amber Kell has made a career out
of daydreaming. It has been a lifelong habit she practices diligently as shown
by her complete lack of focus on anything not related to her fantasy world
building.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">When she told her husband what
she wanted to do with her life he told her to go have fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">During those seconds she isn't
writing she remembers she has children who humor her with games of 'what if'
and let her drag them to foreign lands to gather inspiration. Her youngest
confided in her that he wants to write because he longs for a website and an
author name—two things apparently necessary to be a proper writer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Despite her husband's insistence
she doesn't drink enough to be a true literary genius she continues to spin
stories of people falling happily in love and staying that way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">She is thwarted during the day by
a traffic jam of cats on the stairway and a puppy who insists on walks, but she
bravely perseveres.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">“You keep looking at me like that, this ain’t gonna last long,” Jase growled. Carey smirked, then twirled his finger in a turn-around motion.<o:p></o:p><w:sdtpr></w:sdtpr></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">“I feel like a piece of meat,” Jase grumbled good-naturedly, but turned in a slow circle. Carey’s mouth watered as he took in Jase's broad shoulders and muscular back, tapering in a perfect V into slim hips and high, round buttocks. Carey was a little bemused at how looking at another man’s body was revving him up, but it was. It was just… Jase. Carey already knew how beautiful he was on the inside; now he knew how stunning he was on the outside too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.45pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">Using his support leg and his arms, he pulled himself to the edge of the bed and sat up, crooking his finger at Jase.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.45pt;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">Jase’s eyes flared hot, and he took the few steps necessary to reach the edge of the bed. Carey reached up slowly and moved his hands onto Jase’s hips, stroking over the hipbones lightly before tugging him forward to stand between his legs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.45pt;">

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I am a married mom of four who
spends most of the day writing, either on stories or at the blog. I love to
write as much as I love to read. I am generally quiet and laid back, choosing
to let things slide off me rather than stick and irritate me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">And it’s really hard trying to
think of descriptives for myself, so I’ll just let y’all e-mail me or comment
at the blog if there’s something specific you’d like to know, and spare you
from reading a boring bio.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">I really enjoyed this book, like any anthology some stories really grabbed my attention while others were just so-so. A lot of the authors in this anthology were new to me and I will definitely be reading more of their work. Each story was it's own and I enjoyed the Valentine's Day theme of the book, it is a very fitting read for this time of year. </span></div>

Smith</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">, aka AJ, loves to write women, and specifically women who are strong, independent and fall in love with other women. She claims bisexuality but is probably closer to omnisexual. She's a go with the flow type of person. She loves writing urban fantasy and creatures and powers of all different kinds. She also loves writing women in uniform, because let's face it, a woman in uniform has an irresistible draw.

I have written in F/F, F/F/M, F/F/F and then of course F/M genres.... So, beware, I do not always have the most 'traditional' scenes. And one day I will venture into M/M, just have to find the time.<br />
<br />
I love to try new things and learn from every piece of work I write. I'll write just about anything once to learn from it. I've even ventured out of my normal erotica genre into Monster Erotica. Doubt you'll find me writing anything not erotic as you can barely get me to even read something out of that category, but then again, you never know what I might try next. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Senior year of college is for studying, partying, and having fun before getting serious about life. Instead, Chad’s days are filled with headaches and exhaustion, and his fencing skills are getting worse with practice, not better. Then there’s his nonexistent love life, full of girls he’s shunted to the friend zone. Is he asexual? Gay?<br />
<br />
Grad student Warren Douglas could be out clubbing, but his roommate is better company, even without kisses. He’s torn up watching Chad suffer, gobbling ibuprofen and coming home early on Friday nights. If Chad weren’t straight, Warren would keep him up past midnight. They’re great as friends. Benefits might answer Chad’s questions.<br />
<br />
A brief encounter with lab rats reveals Chad’s illness—he needs surgery, STAT, and can’t rely on his dysfunctional parents for medical decisions. Warren’s both trustworthy and likely to get overruled—unless they’re married. “You can throw me back later,” Warren says, and he may throw himself back after his husband turns out moody and hard to get along with, no matter how much fun his new sex drive is. Surgery turns Chad into a new man, all right…<br />
<br />
…but Warren fell in love with the old one.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
On his feet now, Chad looked a little shaky. For a silent moment he stood, though it wasn’t clear whether he was forcing his body to behave or thinking.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
“Uh. You’re a scientist…” Why did Chad make that sound like a question? Unless it was part of his medicine head. “I need some data.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Oh. <i>Oh!</i> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Warren didn’t flinch or pull away when Chad leaned in. Both his hands rested on Warren’s upper arms, which didn’t keep him from lurching forward so fast Warren thought he’d get hit in the face. But no, he stopped short and came in slow for the last inch. Eyes open and questioning, he met Warren’s mouth in a smooth, gentle kiss. Lips not quite parted, he brushed against Warren, searching, not demanding. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
What had gotten into him? Warren kissed back, not too startled to respond in kind, adding nothing that might frighten Chad away. He wouldn’t lift his arms, he wouldn’t offer tongue, but he would meet Chad’s mouth for as long as he was offered it. He had to tip his face up slightly and fight to stay in place when he wanted nothing more than to step forward into Chad’s arms, to plaster himself against that inviting chest, and thrust his tongue into the depths of Chad’s mouth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .5in;">
Chad’s eyes were blue drowning to black, his pupils dilated widely. Questions, but not fear, dwelled behind his irises, questions that Warren wanted to answer for him. <i>Yes, you like this, yes, you want more, yes, you want it with me. Yes.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

P.D. Singer lives in Colorado with her slightly bemused
husband, two rowdy teenage boys, and thirty pounds of cats. She's a big
believer in research, first-hand if possible, so the reader can be quite
certain Pam has skied down a mountain face-first, been stepped on by rodeo horses,
acquired a potato burn or two, and will never, ever, write a novel that
includes sky-diving.<br />

When not writing, playing her fiddle, or skiing, she can be found with a book

<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">Winning the United Kingdom’s favorite singing contest is a challenge for half-Afghani Pasha Trueman.

His strategy is simple—he’ll make the British public love him.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p><w:sdtpr></w:sdtpr></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ed and Pahsa discover that winning the Brit Pop! contest will take more than singing their hearts out.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ed put down his mug and stepped much closer. The toes of his boots touched the tips of Pasha’s scruffy knock-off Converse trainers. “Is that really what you think we need to do all of the time from now on? Be affectionate whenever there might be a camera or people around? Verbally, I mean. And act like we’re….”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Did Pasha usually sound so breathless? Ed tilted his head to one side and tracked the quick flick of Pasha’s tongue wetting his lower lip.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“That’s…” Pasha hesitated, “that’s exactly what I think we should do. And I don’t think verbal affection on its own will cut it either. We should… we should probably touch. A lot. But naturally, you know? As if we have a hard time keeping our hands off each other.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Like this?” Ed reached for the half-full mug Pasha clutched to his chest and made sure both his hands covered Pasha’s for an extended moment as he slowly took it from him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Yeah.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“And like this?” Ed pushed the strands of hair covering Pasha’s eyes to one side. “Hi.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This time Pasha slowly smiled instead of answering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“And what about if we hold hands?” Ed awkwardly threaded his fingers through Pasha’s. “Is that too much, do you think?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Pasha shook his head. “No.” He cleared his throat. “No, that’s exactly what I meant by natural.” He tugged his fingers away and wiped his palms on his trousers as if they were sweaty. “You’re taking to this much faster than I thought you would.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Excerpt: <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PETE HAD been busy while I’d been gone. I stood in front of the shiny new door to his apartment and wondered for a moment if I’d come home to the right place. Then I remembered the coarse message he’d sent me a few days ago, telling me in no uncertain terms what a bitch the new door had been to fit. A separate message—perhaps an afterthought—told me he’d left a key on top of the frame.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I reached for it and turned it over in my hand. It was silver and shiny. The old one was battered brass, bruised and familiar. It felt heavy in my pocket as I slid the new key into the lock. I considered the fate of the old key now that the door it belonged to was no longer there. Pete said I pondered the strangest things.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The new door swung open with a whisper. It felt odd after two years with a door that crunched like a gearbox. The new door was like a ghost, all shimmery and silent. I wasn’t sure I liked it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A wry grin crept over my face. <i>Really? Four days without Pete and you’re worried about a door?</i> I took a tentative step forward. The door closed with a quiet click, and this time, I paid it no heed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I glanced around the apartment. It was quiet and still. No TV, stereo, or signs of life. That was no surprise. I was a few hours early. Despite hating every moment of the flight between Chicago and Philadelphia, I’d caught an earlier plane home. Pete wasn’t expecting me, but I could feel in my bones that he was home. The invisible cord between us pulled me along, and a minute later, I found him passed out in our bed. He was asleep on his stomach, something he only did when he was alone or too tired to notice. It used to make me uneasy—sometimes it still did—but not today. Today his bare back was exactly what I needed to see. I sat down by his head and brushed my fingers over his stubbly jaw. He didn’t stir, even when I leaned down and breathed in the clean smell of his skin.<o:p></o:p></div>

deeply flawed. Throw in a tale of enduring true love, some stubbly facial
hair, and a bunch of tattoos, and you’ve got yourself a Garrett special.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><w:sdtpr></w:sdtpr></span></div>

cooking up a storm, or sitting on her behind doing as little as possible.
That, and dreaming up new ways to torture her characters. Garrett believes in

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Often referred to as "Space
Cowboy" and "Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the
moniker of "Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting,
organizing his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring
on a small secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While
collecting vast amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles
away the hours between dropping the f-bomb and pursuing the kama sutra by
channeling the long lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the
soundtrack to "Chicago."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">RJ Scott has been writing since
age six, when she was made to stay in at lunchtime for an infraction involving
cookies. She was told to write a story and two sides of paper about a trapped
princess later, a lover of writing was born.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">As an avid reader herself, she
can be found reading anything from thrillers to sci-fi to horror. However, her
first real true love will always be the world of romance where she takes
cowboys, bodyguards, firemen and billionaires (to name a few) and writes
dramatic and romantic stories of love and passion between these men.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">With over sixty titles to her
name and counting, she is the author of the award winning book, The Christmas
Throwaway. She is also known for the
Texas series charting the lives of Riley and Jack, and the Sanctuary series
following the work of the Sanctuary Foundation and the people it protects.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Her goal is to write stories with
a heart of romance, a troubled road to reach happiness, and most importantly,
that hint of a happily ever after.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On Patrick Griffin’s deathbed, he asks his daughter Brigid to do the unthinkable--leave the Township of Melbourne with a dangerous convict. If she grants his request and risks trekking into the desert with a stranger, she could lose everything she’s come to know. Ultimately, she could end up alone, with nothing but her father’s memory. <br />
<br />
After being thrown into jail, Nathaniel O'Connor comes out of the experience bitter and ready to leave the gold rush life well and truly behind him. He is determined to take for himself what he feels Patrick Griffin has stolen from him. The only thing standing between him and his goal is Patrick’s headstrong daughter, Brigid. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Forced to work together, Brigid and Nathaniel embark on the journey of a lifetime. Traveling across the vast, unexplored countryside, they face not only the elements but also a ruthless man driven by shocking greed. Their challenges draw them together, and their experiences could not only change their outlook on life forever but turn their hearts to one another as well. <br />
<br />
Sometimes, though, what the heart needs and what the heart wants are two different things. Each has a choice to make, which may result in a loss neither wants, that of a Treasured Land.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>My Thoughts: </b><br />
This story was definitely not what I thought it would be. It was better! Brigid is the heroine of the story and she takes a chance with Nathaniel. The story is full of twists and turns that keep the pages flipping and make it difficult to walk away from. I enjoyed the author's writing and the way the story flowed. I will certainly be reading more from Melanie Corona as soon as possible.<br />

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Brigid wanted to hold her breath in anticipation, silently praying they could make it past all the tents and men, without a scene. Harmonicas sounded out here and there through the night, played by the men who were winding down from a long day in the sun. The air was crisp and clear, with only the lingering scent of fires from supper floating on the light breeze. Stars littered the dark sky, lighting their way yet concealing them in the shadow of night. It was almost enough to put her to sleep. She was tired, and again they were on the run, but this time toward Melbourne. Life certainly hadn’t been the same for her since meeting Nathaniel, and she had a feeling it wasn’t ever going to be, either.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Coming over the top to stand near the trees, Brigid wanted to scream. She dropped to the ground as quickly as she could to lie on her stomach, afraid she might have been spotted already. Brigid could see the outline of a man with his arms held above his head. He hung from a rope tied up to a tree branch. Two white trees like the ones she laid between, these two were also standing on their own with nothing else around them. It was Nathaniel hanging there. It had to be, and he wasn’t alone. Someone sat at the base of the other tree, keeping guard. She didn’t know if they were alone or if anyone else was around. She would have to wait it out for a while to see. She wasn’t equipped with anything she could use to help Nathaniel, so she needed to think on what to do. Brigid was both so scared and overjoyed at actually finding Nathaniel that she couldn’t do more than simply lay there anyway, her mind racing in too many directions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">An old man with long white hair and white beard stood and came over to stand near the fire. He looked to them, nodding.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Welcome to the land, our home. Be welcome to pass by here,” Sam said, his voice coming in just after the old man spoke to them. They continued that way, the old man talking with Sam interpreting what was said. “The welcome dance also awakens the spirits of our ancestors. They welcome you, too. We want to tell you a story, a story that has changed the lives of this people.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

They both had no idea where this was going to lead, but the old man had their attention, and all they could do was listen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nathaniel just stared at Sam, not knowing what to say just then as he continued to hold a limp Brigid in his arms. Sam stood and began to drag the kangaroo away. Nathaniel was simply speechless to all that just had taken place, and he sighed as he looked back down to Brigid.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

She was too mesmerizing at that moment, sitting in the shade, soft pink cheeks, and…nostalgic. She took his breath away.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She did smile at him this time. Her pink lips parted, revealing her lovely straight teeth, and his chest swelled, honoured to have been the recipient of it. “Why do you smile, Brigid?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After six months of hot-and-heavy dating, Alex is ready to say goodbye to the sex-drugs-and-dance-till-dawn lifestyle and settle down with the love of his life, Steven. He even bought an engagement ring. But when Steven finds an illicit party favor in Alex’s pocket, the powder hits the fan. Steven breaks it off, and Alex heads out to drown his sorrows—in Wonderland…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The hottest, hippest nightclub in town, Wonderland is where every boy’s dreams come true. Where the DJ, Hatter, spins the maddest tracks, the Caterpillar sells the trippiest drugs, and the Queen of Hearts sends every drag diva off with her head. Still, Alex can’t stop thinking about Steven—even while being seduced by a pair of twinks who are tweedlehot and tweedlehotter. Things only get weirder when Alex learns that Steven is missing—and an anonymous phone call warns him that he’ll never see Steven again…unless he eats this, drinks that, and dives deeper down the rabbit hole of decadence. This certainly isn’t just another weekend—in Wonderland…<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Excerpt: </b></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">I looked around the club and couldn’t believe no one seemed to care. The party was still going on! In the booth, the Hatter was on the decks, spinning away, without a worry in the world, and below him, on the dance floor, it was a sea of bodies, shirtless, glittered, glistening. Strobes flashed and lasers wove among the crowd, and heads were thrown back, hands in the air, in ecstasy. On <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:28">Ecstasy</ins></span>, maybe. Who knew? Sure enough, the Caterpillar was at his table, and people visited him briefly, their money for his drugs, and then they were off to the bathroom, to snort, to drop, to bump whatever he’d sold them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">The air vibrated. It was the bass pounding off the dance floor, it was a hundred conversations being yelled out over the din. Here, the twins, in their matching tanks, eyes closed, muscles bulging, as they gyrated together in a cage. There, a flock of mindless twinks, fluttering about in the drama of the moment. Didn’t they know? Didn’t they care?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">I sipped my gin and cran, and shook my head. I wanted to scream! Wanted to grab some passing boy and shake him til<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:32">l</ins></span> he understood. Maybe he’d only mattered to me. Maybe I was the only one <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:32">who </ins></span>really loved him. Maybe to everyone else, he’d just been a face in the crowd, just one nameless pretty boy among all the other nameless pretty boys. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">From the first moment I laid eyes on him though, getting into his white VW Rabbit, he had been so much more to me than just some nameless pretty boy. Sure, right then, he’d just been nameless and pretty, but for the brief second his gaze met mine across the parking lot, we connected. In those few seconds, I imagined a hundred scenarios, and in all of them, we ended up with a white-picket<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:34"> </ins></span><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:34">-</del></span>fence<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:34">,</ins></span> happy-ever-after in Suburbia, away from this sea of smooth bodies, fast beats, and hard drugs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Away from Wonderland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">But no, now he was gone, and the party was still going, and I was still sitting here, on my perch at the bar, where I sat night in and night out, watching the freak-show train<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:36"> </ins></span><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:36">-</del></span>wreck I called my life. And no one in this club could give a shit. Give a bump maybe, or get shittered, but actually care? Actually reach out and genuinely connect with another human being?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Unlikely.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">The Hatter spun, and the Caterpillar sold, and the people danced, and I sat there, staring at my ice cubes, thinking it was time to go home, knowing I would order one more. It was a Friday night, and that’s what I did. What we all did. We left our real world, our <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:39">nine</ins></span>-to-<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:39">five</ins></span>s, our condos in the sky, and we came down here, under the traffic, to a dirty little hole that lit up with beautiful lights, and even more beautiful people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Another?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">It was Brandon, beautiful and blond, all abs to the front, all amazing ass to the rear, and he was leaning across the bar. His eyes were blue, and my drink was empty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Sure.” His fingers brushed the back of my hand as he took away my empty, replaced it with another. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“On me,” he said, and he was back to the line<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:41">-</del></span>up. I watched him for a while, doing the graceful dance of the bartender. He spun about, pouring shots, cracking beer, dispensing drinks and flirts and seven<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:42">-</ins></span><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:42"> </del></span>dollar ounces of happiness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">I twirled the drink around in my hands. I really had had enough, and I knew I should go, but I hoped he’d come. Still. Even though the Hatter had already announced last call for the first time. Even though the last thing Steven had said to me was that he never wanted to see me again. He couldn’t have meant it though. It was the heat of the moment and when he calmed down, when we’d both calmed down, we’d work it out. He’d come down those stairs, and through the crowd, and he’d take me by the hand and lead me to the dance floor, and with our bodies pressed together, we would kiss under the strobe, like we did that first night, and everything would be the way it was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“You have five minutes left until last call,” the Hatter counted down on the mic, and Ke<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:45">s</ins></span>ha mixed with One Direction, and the twinks squealed and the dance floor, already full, bulged with more people, one big writhing mass of beautiful, tragic homos. And not one of them knew or cared that he was gone, and it was over, and my drink was empty again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Brandon!” I yelled as he spun past me, dropping drinks down at the other end of the bar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Another?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Make it two,” I said, and slid a twenty toward<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:47">s</del></span> him. He dropped off the drinks and my change, and I took the drinks, left the change. It was just money. And his ass was easily worth the tip. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">I pushed back my stool, lurched to my feet, drink in each hand, and fought my way through the crowd. Eyes went up and down me, in that judging homo way. My eyes went up and down the people I passed, just as judging. I wove my way through fat straight girls and their skinny gay best friends, past the plaid-wearing lesbians playing pool in the corner, my eyes on the Caterpillar. I knew I shouldn’t. I knew Steven wouldn’t like it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">But he hadn’t come. And if all these people didn’t care, why should I?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Alex!” I heard my name as an arm wrapped around my waist. An arm attached to the gleaming torso of one of the twins. He pulled me into him, and I lifted my drinks over his shoulders as we hugged, as we kissed each other’s cheeks. “How’s your night?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“It’s a night,” I sa<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:49">i</ins></span>d, sipping my drink, my eyes darting past whichever twin this was to the table in the corner, where the Caterpillar watched and waited. “Yours?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Where’s Steven?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">There it was. His name. Hearing it made my chest tighten. “He didn’t come out tonight.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Too bad! Come dance with us!” He went to take me by the hand as his look<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:50">-</ins></span>alike came up and grabbed me by the other. I felt my drink spill down my arm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“No, I was just headed home. I—"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">“One dance?” Two matching smiles, four matching dimples, four sparkling green eyes, so much muscle. How could I say no? And with Steven not here, why should I say no?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">And then we were on the dance floor, hands in the air, and I had one in front of me, grinding back into my crotch, and one behind me, grinding into my butt, and all around me, people danced and laughed and drank, and the lights were bright, and the music was wordless and fast, and faster and faster we danced, and I finished my drinks and threw back my head, and let myself get lost in the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Steven hadn’t come. I had waited and waited and waited, and he hadn’t come. He had made his choice. The twin behind me was kissing my neck. I tilted my head back and met his lips with mine. He tasted like berries. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">I twisted around so we were facing each other. Behind me, the other one lifted up my shirt, and I let him take it off. His lips were on my shoulders, and I paused briefly, thinking how I must look between their tanned and toned bodies. But then the one behind me slid a hand into my pants and I stopped thinking. And we danced and we kissed, sweat and skin and sweet sweet sin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">In the mirror that ran along the dance<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:54"> </ins></span><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:54">-</del></span>floor, I saw us, and what a sight we were, the three of us, three among the many, and it was wonderful and it was beautiful and it was wrong. It wasn’t Steven. And there, at the end of the mirror, I could see the Caterpillar’s reflection, as he sat there, beer in hand, and watched and waited.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Waited for me?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">I squirmed out from between the twins, and their hands followed mine until the crowd separated us, and I looked back at them. Their hands had found each other, and they were kissing, and people watched as they danced, because the twins were beautiful and shirtless and gleaming, looking enough like actual brothers to be forbidden, taboo, exciting. I wound my way across the floor and up the stairs, and sat down across from the Caterpillar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">He smiled at me, raised his beer in salute. I raised an eyebrow in question, and I could feel the desperation on my face. It was late. What if he was out? He nodded, and I could feel the relief and the guilt and the excitement all mingle inside me. I slid my hand across the table, money hidden in my palm. He shook my hand, and I could feel the money disappear, feel the familiar little plastic <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T09:58">Baggie</ins></span>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Away from the Caterpillar I went, and back through the throng, now even more frenzied as the Hatter announced, “Last song of the night.” People were flooding onto the dance floor, and I was going against the stream, headed to the bathroom, where the strobes and lasers and swirling color went away, in an ugly fluorescent glare. I locked the stall behind me, ignoring the water all over the floor, the clumped toilet paper, the unflushed bowl. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">I held up the <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T10:00">Baggie</ins></span>, flicked it to loosen it, opened it up. I dipped in my key, scooped out some powder, and inhaled. My body tensed and then loosened. I was floating on fire. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">Tucking the <span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T10:00">Baggie </ins></span>into my jeans, I checked my reflection in the mirror, looking for any telltale signs of drug use. Finding none, and not really caring either way, I went back out in the club, where everything seemed more real now. The music was just a little clearer, the lights were just a tad brighter. The twins were still lip-locked on the dance<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T10:02"> </ins></span><span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T10:02">-</del></span>floor. I fought my way toward<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:Gary%20Sunshine" datetime="2014-08-14T10:02">s</del></span> them, and reached them just as the song faded away into the silence of a hundred conversations, laughter and shrieks and disjointed words.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA">I was high and alive, and I had a twin on each side, and as the three of us found our way out of Wonderland and into the world above, I looked around the club one last time, and right then, I didn’t care either. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This was definitely a unique twist on the classic story of Alice in Wonderland. I mean sexy gay men, a three-some with twins, dancing and pining for someone... and that is just the beginning, what's not to like? </span><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I enjoyed this story, Alex is searching for Stephen and it is just one twist after another in his quest. In the end I was satisfied with the story. I was intrigued and interested from beginning to end and am sure to read more of Rob Browatzke's work in the future. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">TL was in a fucking load of trouble. This nasty bitch of a viper was giving him one hell of a fight. He swung his arm and landed a punch to her horned nose. She hissed and came back at him with a wicked-looking blade. The viper was completely bald, her entire body covered in snakeskin. She was lean and sleek, but TL knew firsthand, she was very fucking lethal. He jumped back as she swung, and he went for his hunting knife.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">The snake had already gotten a piece of one of his wings, making it completely impossible for him to fly his way out of this situation.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">The viper female She was strong, and he was in her territory. Why the hell hadn't he waited for Boone? TL sliced the knife through the air, causing a deep gash to her chest but not enough to bring her down. She charged him, crazed, fangs leaking the venom TL wanted nothing to do with. He kicked out and missed. She tackled him to the ground, sinking her blade deep in his side.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">“Ahhh!” TL screamed out in utter agony. The white-hot pain caused him to fall back, completely defenseless as his enemy straddled him.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">With the last of his strength, he pushed up, slicing the viper under the arm. She screamed, hissed, wriggling around, more snake than human, much like the venom she presented right on top of him. TL attempted to get out from underneath, still bleeding like crazy. He managed to break free, and try to gain as much distance as he could while unable to get off his damn hands and knees.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">She came back, maddened and enraged, and TL held up his arms, waiting for his end. She slithered toward him at a speed only venom of superior strength could match.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua';">A boot shot out in front of him, connecting with her face, just a mere feet from his own body. He glanced up to see a man standing above him with a ball mace in his hand and enough other weapons on his body for a small army. The muscular man pulled a machete and went after the female. TL’s head fell back. He didn’t even have enough strength in him to see who won. Closing his eyes, he let the darkness take him.</span></div>

Short, sexy and sweet— where a little love goes a long way.<o:p></o:p><w:sdtpr></w:sdtpr></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s the best way to describe Jackie Nacht’s stories. She was introduced to M/M Romance through her sister, Stephani, and read it for years. Then, she thought it was time to put her own stories on paper. Jackie began writing short and sweet stories that ended with a happily ever after.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thinking back to her own book addiction, where there were many nights Jackie stayed up way too late so she could read just one more chapter— yeah, right— Jackie decided to write short romances for young adults as well as adults. Hopefully, they will give high school and college students, or working men and women something they can read during their lunch hour, in between classes or just when they want to briefly get away from the daily stresses of everyday life.<o:p></o:p></div>

</b> <b>Blackwood Brothers, #3</b><b><br />
</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br />
</b> <br />
<div>
Ryland and Ryker Blackwood were twins. Identical, thigh clenching bear shifter twins who had no trouble getting women into their beds. Or bed. They’d shared just about everything in life, even women. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The scent of the cat shifter they found on their construction site was driving both Blackwood brothers crazy with lust. Or was it? Every time they thought they were getting closer to finding the woman who would be their mate, one of their bears backed away. The hot and cold feeling they were getting from their animals was confusing the shit out of them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Was the cat shifter meant for one of them or both of them?</div>
<div>
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div>
<b>~Excerpt~</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
The bar was filled mostly with men who had come here to drink and forget their troubles. Or their wives. Watching one of the customers reach out and grab the ass of a waitress as she walked by, Ryker gave off a little growl. He might like to fuck women, but he never disrespected them. The crowd parted for him. Even though that had not been his intention, both he and Ryland took full advantage of the fact and headed toward the bar. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Before they could reach it, he stopped dead in his tracks, the scent of oranges pulling at him. If Ryland hadn’t been paying attention, he would have plowed into him and sent them both the floor. “Fuck.” <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The scent of the cat shifter was playing the same tricks it had on the construction site. Outside, her scent had been strong, overwhelming him. Now, it had faded again. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But he could still follow it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He jerked his head, pointing Ryland in the right direction. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Their mate was the curvy woman leaning over the bar wearing a low-cut blouse and a skirt short enough to show everyone everything should she bend over. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, fuck no, Ryker thought as he pushed his way through the crowd that had yet to sense the predator among them and get out of the way. There was no way in hell his mate was going to wear that skimpy little outfit. Or work in a bar filled with shifters and humans just waiting to grab a piece of her fine-looking ass. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Fuck no. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He didn’t even take time to memorize her features. He had a vague impression of coal black hair and a creamy, pale complexion. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He gave a little roar and the path completely cleared for him. The males threw him an uneasy look and the women gave him I’ve-got-just-what-you-need smiles. He didn’t bother to return any of the silent invitations, his attention focused solely on the woman as she got her drink order and turned to walk away. She lifted the heavy tray above the swaying bodies as she made her way around the dance floor to the tables in back. He quickened his steps dimly aware that Ryland was on his six. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As she moved, the air drifted back to him, filled with her scent. Oh, there was no doubt this luscious bundle of curves was his. He shook his head to clear away the possessive though. Theirs. She was theirs. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Her ass swayed as she walked and it was all he could do not to crush the heads of the men who ogled her as she walked by. She was definitely giving off the mate vibe—his bear and c*** had both roared to attention the moment he’d caught sight of her.<br />

Hart Emile is tired of cruising for guys, living a soulless existence. He needs a change; so when an acquaintance gives him the number of the gay friendly Red Fox Ranch that’s hiring for staff, he heads south. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Oak Redman is eighteen years old and desperate to explore his awakening sexuality. The moment Hart lays eyes on the handsome young rancher he’s smitten. Not only is Oak hot, spirited and very persistent, he is also the ranch boss’s son and strictly off limits. Hart tries to fight his feelings and to respect his boss and the family who quickly become dear to him, but after Oak's Grandma suggests he gets with Oak he can't deny himself the most exciting and enticing man he has ever met. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hart’s not the only man to have noticed how sweet and charming Oak Redman is. A family friend, Steve, is also anxious to have the affections of the young rancher. Can Hart work out Steve’s dark secrets before it’s too late and keep his job, his lover and his life?</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
Enjoy an excerpt:<br />
<br />
<br />
The following morning, Bay took Hart into town to pick up supplies. The boss had shown a lot of hospitality to him since he’d arrived two days before, and Hart wanted to work hard and prove Bay’d made the right decision in employing him. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dark sunglasses hid Bay’s eyes, but the look suited him. Hart guessed Bay must be about thirty-five, and then he added a few years to account for Oak’s age. The man didn’t appear gay, but none of the other cowboys on the ranch did either—not even Oak with his pretty, elfin face. Hart had always believed he could spot gay guys, but now he wasn’t so sure. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As they approached town, Bay turned the radio down. ”Understand you and Oak are planning a fishing trip next week.” <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Caught off guard, Hart searched for words. “Yeah…we arranged to go huntin’ and fishing sometime. I didn’t know Oak planned on next week, but it’s fine if we can get the time off.” He cringed. He’d only been in the job five minutes, and now Bay knew he wanted time off. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“I need to make one thing clear to you before you go anywhere with my boy.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hart glanced at him with caution. “Okay.” He took a deep breath.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Now, I don’t know anything about you or your sexuality, and I don’t want to know. Those things are your business. I will say this, though. My son…is not available.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“I understand.” <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“I hope you do, Hart. There are few things can make a man angry, and one of ’em’s messing with his family. Same goes for my daughter. She's not available either.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Okay.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“I’m not saying you can’t go fishin’ or nothing, and I know it’s Oak pushing me to give you time off and not the other way around, so I’m not worried about that. It’s fine if you want to be friends, but remember what I said.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Yes, sir. I understand.” Hart swallowed hard, feeling nauseated. He stared out of the window, having second thoughts about going because he didn’t trust himself. He’d intended to finish what Oak had started in the barn, but now? Hart didn’t want to put himself into a situation where something might go wrong—or right, as the case may be.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He’d thought about nothing but Oak since he’d first seen him on the porch, strong muscles moving with easy grace, and with each move Hart had felt the slamming in his chest. He wanted to trace each curve with his tongue and sate the urgent need to satisfy the young man. With his body as powerful and mature as his father, Oak didn’t seem like an eighteen-year old. Nevertheless, it didn’t make Hart feel any better about taking advantage.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The last thing he wanted was to see an angry Bay coming after him for messing with his son. It would be ungrateful and disrespectful to get involved with his boy. Hart had to try to think of a way to keep the two happy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hart loved being in Oak’s company—he was open, trusting, inquisitive, and intelligent—a real turn-on, but an obvious combination for trouble. Oak complemented Hart’s own quiet persona well. At least their friendship could continue.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He admired the actions Bay had taken to protect his kids. His own father had always been distant with him. On the other hand, at almost nineteen years old, Oak should be able to make his own mistakes. Would it be a mistake? The ranch was a workplace, and most employers discouraged relationships between employees.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“How’re you settling in?” Bay asked in a lighter tone.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>About the Author:</b>I enjoy writing both academic and fiction material. My research interests include focus on people who experience marginalization, both in historical societies and modern.

<br />
Dante Mathers, college student, fifth year, has a track record for being dishonest with himself, and is about to undergo the biggest, scariest change of his life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dante's forced himself to go out with girls in the past and he does it again when he's approached by the beautiful Serena one day on campus, desperate to prove to himself that he's "normal." But when he loses a drinking contest and is dared to go to the next campus GLBT meeting by his best friend, he’s not sure how to handle it. Sure he could blow it off and say he went, but something nagging at the back of his mind compels him to go anyway. After all, he’s had problems with intimacy in the past and his first crush was a boy in high school. But is he really forcing himself to go, or is he finally starting to be honest with himself? No need to over think this, Dante tells himself. It'll be get in, get out. No need to talk to anyone. Easy, right?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But then he meets Sven. Sexy, toned, wearing a leather jacket with spiked up bleach-blond hair, Sven's bad-boy flare sticks out on campus and catches Dante's eye. But there's more to Sven than his punkish looks, and Dante's about to find out all the sultry little details.<br />

<br />
<br />
“I’m Mandy, and I’m bi.” <br />
<br />
“My name’s Cole, and I identify as gay.” <br />
<br />
“Terry, and if you can’t tell I’m gay, you need your brain checked, okay?” <br />
<br />
The room chuckled, and then everybody’s gaze fell on me. “Uh…” I coughed. My throat felt like it was filled with sand, and I practically had to spit out my next words, “I’m Dante.” That’s it, just Dante. Now move along… </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Fortunately when he realized I wasn’t going to say any more, the man next to me piped up with his introduction. <br />
<br />
I whistled a sigh of relief. When I got out of this frigging trust circle, I was going to wring Greg’s scrawny neck! <br />
<br />
I felt like a huge asshole sitting in this circle of ten people in a secluded underground room of the student union. They were here because they wanted to share with other people like them, to hang out and not be judged. Well, I wasn’t judging by any means, but the only reason I’d found my way to this LGBTQ meeting was because I’d lost a bet and my friend was still immature enough to find this kind of thing amusing. <br />
<br />
The guy next to me nudged me in the shoulder, and I nearly flew ten feet out of my chair. I looked around the room. Introductions seemed to be over, and now everyone was just talking. <br />
<br />
“You’re a fourth year, right?” he asked. His voice was smooth and rich. It reminded me of syrup, or tree sap. <br />
<br />
“Fifth.” I swallowed. “I’m only finishing up electives this semester. I already have a job in my field.” <br />
<br />
“Ah, must be nice.” He threw back his head over the edge of his chair and sighed. “In this little town it’s hard to find an internship close to home. I’ve been going through hell trying.” He grinned. “What’d you study?” <br />
<br />
“Physical therapy.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah, that explains it. There are so many old folks and people who work with their backs around here. You’ll be in business for a long while yet. Or did you have plans to leave town?” <br />
<br />
Part of me wondered if this was the kind of small talk I’d thought about making with that girl before. This guy was a hell of a lot better at it than I would’ve been. But whatever his motives, I didn’t mind. Greg was the only close friend I had on campus, and he hated talking about school life and work. The change of topic from girls and clubbing was refreshing. <br />
<br />
“Nah, not leaving.” I shook my head. “Born and raised here in the country and no plan on leaving. I stick to my roots.” <br />
<br />
He nodded. “I feel the same.” He held out his hand to me. “James.” <br />
<br />
“Dante.” I took his hand warmly. <br />
<br />
“So…” James leaned back in his chair and gestured at the whole of the room. “I haven’t seen you at one of these before.” <br />
<br />
“Um…” <br />
<br />
“Hey, it’s cool if you don’t wanna talk about it. Just making an observation. This place is so no pressure.” <br />
<br />
It certainly didn’t feel like no pressure to me, but maybe it was the overwhelming guilt that made my stomach feel like it was tangled in knots. I wasn’t going to lie—I’d been curious in the past, but nothing ever came of it. Then again I’d never had a girlfriend either, which was why Greg had thought this would be so hilarious. I found men and women attractive in their own way, but that hardly made me gay or bisexual. Damn, if Greg knew how much stress this was really causing me inside, he’d probably look at me like I’d grown another head. <br />
<br />
“Terry over there…” James set a hand on my shoulder and pointed to the guy who’d introduced himself earlier. “Biggest flamer in the whole damn school, and proud of it. You’ll see him at every drag show, and he’ll probably win. Sets the rest of the competition on edge, I tell ya.” He chuckled and pointed to another guy sitting three seats to my left. “The guy with the lumberjack beard is Carl. He’s quiet, not too wild. You two would probably get along.” <br />
<br />
“Why are you telling me all this?” <br />
<br />
James laughed. “Because you’re new, and I can tell you’re the shy type. Just put yourself out there. Nobody here bites…” He winked. “Often. Ah, I just noticed Seven is missing. Bummer. Not surprised, though. He’s a shy guy too. He’d be the perfect one for you to talk to. Better than me.” <br />
<br />
“Seven?” What kind of a name was that?</div>

<b>~About the Author~</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I can mostly be found staring into the screen of my PC or laptop into all hours of the night, hyped on caffeinated soda and likely procrastinating something important by losing at Internet Checkers or browsing the web (The day I win a game of Internet Checkers is the day I can write more than a few pages at once without procrastinating). When I'm not doing that, I'm either out being my nerdy self or, of course, writing. I've been writing since the fourth grade, and have no plans to stop. To me, one of the greatest pleasures in life is being able to create worlds and characters whose lives I can share with others.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After an attack by the Coalition leaves THIRDS Team Leader Sloane Brodie critically injured, agent Dexter J. Daley swears to make Beck Hogan pay for what he’s done. But Dex’s plans for retribution are short-lived. With Ash still on leave with his own injuries, Sloane in the hospital, and Destructive Delta in the Coalition’s crosshairs, Lieutenant Sparks isn’t taking any chances. Dex’s team is pulled from the case, with the investigation handed to Team Leader Sebastian Hobbs. Dex refuses to stand by while another team goes after Hogan, and decides to put his old HPF detective skills to work to find Hogan before Theta Destructive, no matter the cost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a lengthy and painful recovery ahead of him, the last thing Sloane needs is his partner out scouring the city, especially when the lies—however well intentioned—begin to spiral out of control. Sloane is all too familiar with the desire to retaliate, but some things are more important, like the man who’s pledged to stand beside him. As Dex starts down a dark path, it’s up to Sloane to show him what’s at stake, and finally put a name to what’s in his heart.</div>

<strong>Excerpt</strong></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“YOU’RE GOING to get us fucking killed!”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
Dex ignored Ash and hit the gas, speeding after the ambulance heading up route 9A toward NY Presbyterian Hospital, its wailing siren and flashing lights an unyielding reminder of what he stood to lose. The ambulance had left before them, but Dex was in his Challenger with its own THIRDS installed lights flickering and sending out a warning to everyone around him to get the hell out of his way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
When Ash finally released Dex from his iron grip, Dex had stood on the sidewalk in front of his house, amidst the smoke and burning car parts unable to believe what had happened. He’d been at a loss, watching the chaos unfold as emergency teams and THIRDS agents flooded the scene. Orders had been shouted, the area evacuated, blue and black THIRDS tape marking off his personal disaster zone. And then a bright orange beacon parked near the end of the block gave him clarity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
Dex maneuvered through four lanes of traffic, changing gears and working the pedals. No one knew how to drive his baby like he did, and nothing on God’s green earth was going to make him lose that ambulance. Not with Sloane in the back of it fighting for his life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
<em>Sloane….</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
No matter how hard Dex tried, his head kept replaying the scene like a goddamn looped video: Dex bolting for the front door, not caring what might be on the other side—getting to Sloane had been all that mattered. <em>He has to be okay. Please God, let him be okay.</em> Clouds of thick black smoke. The sidewalk in front of his house looking like a war zone, littered with debris and pieces of twisted car parts. The trees on fire. Dex tackled to the ground, the breath stolen from his lungs. Ash on him keeping him safe. Bullets flying. Sloane under a piece of mangled door. Screeching sirens and uniformed bodies rushing in. Blood everywhere. Sloane unmoving. A jagged piece of metal sticking out of his side. Blood, so much blood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
<em>It should have been me.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“Fuck! Mother fucking asshole son of a bitch!” Dex slammed his hand against the steering wheel before swerving around some bastard going the speed limit. He was losing his shit. It was fast approaching much like the yellow—soon to be red—light ahead of him, yet he was helpless to stop it. The Challenger flew past the red, missing an oncoming taxi by inches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“Enough!” Ash snapped at him. “You’re gonna get us fucking killed! Keep your shit together and get us to the fucking hospital in one goddamn piece, or I swear to Christ I will fucking knock your ass out and drive us there myself.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
Dex wanted to tell Ash where he could stick his threats, but he didn’t. He heard Ash suck in a sharp breath, and Dex eased his foot off the accelerator just enough to keep the ambulance’s flashing lights in sight a few cars ahead. Ash held on to the passenger door with one hand, his other pressed against his side to ease the pain along with the slow trickle of blood seeping through his torn stitches. Stitches he’d torn saving Dex.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“Sorry,” Dex said through his teeth. They were almost at the hospital, which meant more traffic. “Sorry for being an asshole and for what I’m about to do. Hold on.” He hit the gas pedal again, and the engine thundered as he raced forward. After a couple of close calls, they got to the hospital before the ambulance. He skidded into valet parking, put the Challenger in park, jumped out, and tossed the keys to the valet guy. Ignoring his teammate’s bitching, Dex called out over his shoulder for Ash to take care of it. The ambulance arrived seconds later, and Dex ran up to it, watching with his heart in his throat as the backdoors swung open and the EMTs rushed out. The gurney swiftly emerged with Sloane strapped down on his uninjured side, an oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth, and the jagged metal piece jutting out from the right side of his torso. Removing it without surgery was clearly out of the question.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
Dex followed the EMTs as they rushed Sloane through the huge open glass doorway into the hospital, shouting out codes and medical jargon Dex couldn’t make out. One of the EMTs said something about the THIRDS, and a Therian nurse behind the desk snatched up a phone and rambled something off. Within seconds, a handful of Therian doctors and nurses came running, joining the EMTs as they stole Sloane away into a wide, brightly lit corridor. Dex attempted to follow only to have his path blocked by two male Therian nurses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“He’s my partner,” Dex pleaded, trying to get around them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“I’m sorry, sir, but you can’t go in there.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“The hell I can’t. He’s my partner!” Dex grabbed one of the nurses when a pair of beefy arms wrapped around Dex’s waist, lifting him off his feet and away. “Fuck off, Ash! Get off!” He couldn’t leave Sloane in there all alone. Sloane hated hospitals as it was. What if he woke up and freaked out? What if he didn’t know where he was? What if something happened and Dex wasn’t there? He couldn’t lose Sloane now. It wasn’t Sloane’s time. They hadn’t had enough time!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“You’re not the only one who needs him.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
Dex stilled. It wasn’t so much Ash’s words, but the subtle desperation behind them. Ash put him down, and Dex turned, the look on Ash’s dirt-smudged face taking the fight out of Dex. He’d never seen the gruff agent looking so helpless, and despite clearly having his own fears, Ash met his gaze.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“He’s all the family I’ve got. Just let them do their job. It’s the best we can do for him.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
Dex swallowed hard and nodded. He had to get a hold of himself. It was only when Ash winced that Dex remembered the guy was slowly bleeding out. “Shit, Ash. Come on. We need to get you fixed up.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“I’m fine,” Ash muttered, wiping the sweat from his beaded brow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“Yeah, you look fine.” Dex refused to give in to his teammate’s stubbornness. He called over a nurse who took one look at Ash and ran off to get assistance. Ash continued to argue when Dex spotted his dad marching their way. Tony stopped beside them, his gaze dropping to Ash’s hand against his bleeding side before he barked out an order.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“Keeler, get your ass in there and get those stitches seen to.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
Ash looked like he wanted to argue but knew better. With a resigned sigh, he headed for the anxious looking nurses. As soon as Ash disappeared, Tony put a hand to Dex’s shoulder, concern in his deep brown eyes. It was too much for Dex right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
“Hey. I’m going to take a walk. Call me if anything happens.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 40px;">
Thankfully, his dad knew him well and gave him a nod. He removed his hand from Dex’s shoulder and let him go. Right now, Tony had to be his sergeant. Anything else would break Dex’s tremulous hold on his emotions. He walked off to gather his strength. He was going to need it.</div>

<i>Like many other book enthusiasts I am setting up my challenges for the coming year. Yes there are many, but that's half the fun of it. I am joining a lot of new challenges this year and some old favorites. I am doing Monthly, Quarterly, Bi-annual and Annual challenges so the updates will be frequent. Rather than bombard you with posts I am working on pages that will track my progress. I will be doing a monthly post to let you know my progress and what I thought of some of the books I read. As of right now the challenges I am aiming to do are from the <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/20149-m-m-romance">M/M Romance Group</a> on Goodreads and there is pleanty of time to join so stop on in and sign up! </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>So far these are the challenges I am doing (Links will take you to Goodreads M/M Romance Group which you need to be a member to view.):</i><br />
<br />

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2126756-january-comfort-zone-challenge---sign-ups-open" target="_blank">Comfort Zone Challenge</a> - <span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">The purpose of this Challenge is to have a book selected for you that allows you to remain in your comfort zone. On the last day of the month participants are paired up and then choose a book for their partner to read during the next month. Since you want to have a book chosen for you that you will enjoy you are allowed to post up to 3 comforts or restrictions. I kept my request simple this month and opted for No YA. I tend to change my request up from month to month depending on my mood. Sign ups are open until the 31st at 3pm EST. (You must be a member of the <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/20149-m-m-romance" target="_blank">M/M Romance Group</a> to join or view any of these challenges.) This one is only 1 book for the month. Hosted by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/9388630-eepa-mm-loving-bookworm" target="_blank">Eepa *mm loving bookworm*</a></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2126719-january-pick-it-for-me-challenge---signups-open" target="_blank">Pick It For Me Challenge</a> - The Pick it for Me (PifM) challenge can be a little more risky. You don't get to list any preferences for this one so there is a chance your partner will take you completely outside your comfort zone. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Your partner has to choose a new sub-genre or</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"> a new and unfamiliar author, not found on your "read" shelf. I enjoy this one because I get to experience a new author or genre that I may not have chosen for myself. There have been times in the past that I haven't loved the book that was chosen for me, so it is a gamble but thats the intriguing part. Sign ups are open until the 31st at 6pm EST. This is also only 1 book for the month. Hosted by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/3395287-mammarella" target="_blank">Mammarella</a></span><br />

Not only are you choosing 8 books for your partner, but there are certain criteria for each pick. In addition to the criteria 4 of the picks must be new to them (not on any of their shelves) and the other 4 can be from their tbr list. Each month there is a different </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Host and</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> a different "Flavor". For January our host is <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/9388630-eepa-mm-loving-bookworm" target="_blank">Eepa *mm loving bookworm*</a> and the flavor is: <b>"Is fiction really stranger than truth?" </b></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">So I am really excited to see what she has come up with. ( I will be hosting this one in September!) Sign ups are open until the 31st at 4pm EST.</span><br />

In this one you select your own books to read and you can sign up at any time by creating a post in the thread. The Categories have already been posted and I have selected my books. If you want to see what I will be reading be sure to check out my new <a href="http://wickedwolvesanddreamingdragons.blogspot.com/p/monthly.html" target="_blank">2015 Monthly Challenges</a> page!

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><b>~Quarterly~</b></span></span></div>

I have been doing it every quarter since I joined the M/M Romance Group and I always look forward to it. The jist of it is that everyone that signs up makes two different shelves on Goodreads. One is a "pick from" shelf and the other is "already picked" of course you can call your shelves whatever you like. Mine are <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5704322-wendy-m-m-junkie?shelf=pickme" target="_blank">"pick-me"</a> and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/5704322-wendy-m-m-junkie?shelf=q1-gb-tbr" target="_blank">"q1-gb-tbr"</a>. Once your shelves are set up you add books to your pick from shelf that you would like to read in the upcoming quarter. Sign ups start around the beginning of the last month of the quarter. (So for 2015 quarter 1, sign ups started Dec 1.) Picking starts on the 16th and lasts until the 26th. Picking books is the start of the fun. You look at the books on the other participants selected shelf and pick 3 that you would recommend. You then PM them with your 3 selections and then they choose one of the three to read during the quarter. There are usually a lot of picks to make. This quarter I have 49 books tbr with 2 possible picks that have yet to come in. Hosted by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/13169445-jamie" target="_blank">Jamie</a></span><br />

I love that it is driven to work on that tbr list that always manages to grow instead of decline. This one has already started and I have to admit I haven't gotten very far, the holidays and prior commitments have gotten in the way, but I plan to dive in after the first. The duration is from December 21, 2015 to March 19, 2015 you pick your level and tasks that you want to complete. Levels range from Level 1: 1-5 books to Level 4: 15+ books. Of course I am all in and going for Level 4.

There are again several levels to choose from ranging from Novice to Uber Geek. Sign ups are not limited so you can join at any time. I am going for the Uber Geek level and my total comes to 68 books. To complete the Challenge we need to read books whos title or authors first or last name begins with the letter in the symbol.

<i>Well that is my Monthly and Quarterly Challenges so far, there is always the chance of adding more but I think these give me pleanty of room to maneuver. I have been successful at double dipping (making books fit multiple challenges) so it isn't as daunting as it may seem. I will be working on completing the pages so be sure to check them out. I will be back in a day or so and give you a rundown of my Bi-Annual and Annual Challenges too! In the meantime let me know what challenges you are taking part in, who knows, I may have to add more to my list! </i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tony DeLuca has to get to New York, nor’easter be damned. His older sister is getting married and it won’t matter to her if the entire east coast is shut down if it means she’s short a groomsman. She’s the only reason he’s willing to make the trip home to face a father who’s never forgiven him for wasting a perfectly good degree to become a firefighter. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to everything about Tony that his father will never accept. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dominic Tricoli’s living his dream. He’s spent the past few years working to mesh his business degree and love of the outdoors into a thriving company, providing team building retreats for some of the country’s largest corporations. Unfortunately, there’s a price to pay for happiness, and having someone to come home to at night is the sacrifice Dominic made. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Dominic overhears Tony’s plight, he’s drawn to help the man get to New York City. Little does Dominic know that one kind gesture will awaken a side of him he’s ignored for far too long. Against his better judgment, he gives in to his desires and Tony’s advances. Just for the night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When destiny steps in, giving him another chance with the charismatic man who saved his hide, Tony’s willing to do whatever it takes to earn Dominic’s forgiveness and understanding. There may not be forever, but Tony’s determined to enjoy every single minute he’s given with Dominic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can’t fight fate. Whatever’s meant to happen, eventually will.</div>

<i>So much for never seeing one another again.</i> Had I known that I was going to see Dominic this weekend, I might have tried harder to make things right with him Thursday night. If I’d realized the Cara he mentioned was marrying his college roommate was my sister, who I’ve always called Caroline, I wouldn’t have touched him no matter how much I wanted to. Actually, that’s probably not true, because he’s damn fine and I’m not stupid enough to pass up an opportunity when it presents itself. But I definitely wouldn’t have walked away until I knew that neither of us had any regrets.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I trip over my feet as I follow the rest of the groomsmen into the front of the cathedral, my attention focused on the man sitting next to Mr. and Mrs. Rossi, looking like he’s just been scolded.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Dominic was gorgeous the night we met, but now, he’s downright breathtaking. I take my place in line and, because God has a twisted sense of humor, I’m going to be stuck knowing that Dominic is directly behind me for the next hour and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
As we wait for what seems like forever for all of Caroline’s bridesmaids to make the mile-long trek to the front of the cathedral, I try to catch Kennedy’s attention. Thursday night, I told her everything. After telling her about the sexy-as-fuck scene in the truck, I went on to tell her how much it annoyed me that Dominic and I parted on bad terms. She agreed with Dominic that there was no need to feel anything since we’d never see one another again. When Kennedy finally makes eye contact with me, I nod ever so slightly to my left and watch as her eyes threaten to bug out of her head. “Oh, my God. Is that him?” she mouths. I nod subtly. “Are you going to talk to him?” she asks. I shrug, and catch the attention of my older brother, who is standing directly behind me.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Anthony, quit talking to your girlfriend,” he hisses. “Caroline needs you to make her the priority for the next hour, then you can run off and find a quiet corner to do whatever it is the two of you do.” I close my eyes tightly before glancing at Dominic, finally realizing that he probably thinks the same thing I’ve led most of my family to believe all these years. The urge to elbow Peter in the gut to show him exactly what I think of his comment is strong, but I’ve already made enough of a scene. If he noticed, I’m sure other people have as well. And sure enough, Dominic is now glaring at me. He looks across the aisle and his entire body stiffens when he notices Kennedy sitting with my family. I need this wedding to hurry the fuck up so I can get a drink.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The music changes and everyone stands and turns to see Caroline and our father walking down the aisle. I take the opportunity to admire the way Dominic’s suit jacket hangs off his shoulders. The subtle pinstripes act as beacons, drawing my eye down to his narrow hips, and suddenly I’m standing in the cathedral with a semi, thinking about the tight ass beneath those perfectly tailored pants. <i>Go straight to Hell. Do not pass Go, do not collect two-hundred dollars.</i></blockquote>

Sloan Johnson is a big city girl trapped in a country girl’s life. While she longs for the hustle and bustle of New York City or Las Vegas, she hasn’t yet figured out how to sit on the deck with her morning coffee, watching the deer and wild turkeys in the fields while surrounded by concrete and glass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When she was three, her parents received their first call from the principal asking them to pick her up from school. Apparently, if you aren’t enrolled, you can’t attend classes, even in Kindergarten. The next week, she was in preschool and started plotting her first story soon after.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later in life, her parents needed to do something to help their socially awkward, uncoordinated child come out of her shell and figured there was no better place than a bar on Wednesday nights. It’s a good thing they did because this is where she found her love of reading and writing. Who needs socialization when you can sit alone in your bedroom with a good book?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, Sloan is a tattooed mom with a mohawk and two kids. She’s been kicked out of the PTA in two school districts and is no longer asked to help with fundraisers because she’s been known to lose herself with a good book and forget she has somewhere to be.</div>

Gabriel Juarez has only one wish for Christmas, uttered moments before midnight on Christmas Eve: a hug. He wakes up the next morning to find his wish being haphazardly granted in the form of an insecure elf called Felix, who works as a wish augur and couldn't bring himself to let Gabe's wish go unfulfilled.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>~Excerpt~ </b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When he wakes with someone else wrapped around him from behind, Gabe's first instinct is to snuggle back into them and enjoy the warmth and comfort. It takes him probably a full thirty seconds to realise that there absolutely shouldn't be anyone else in his bed, no way in hell, and he cries out before scrambling away from whoever it is, pressing his back against the wall. His heart thuds in his chest and his breath comes in desperate gasps. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The person he'd just been sharing a bed with sits up. He—or at least, Gabe's guessing it's a he—has a ruffled mop of bright blond hair, but darker skin and a wide face with a sweet little button nose. He blinks huge blue eyes a few times, yawns, stretches, and then scratches his stomach before looking over at Gabe with a soft smile. He'd be really cute if he hadn't broken into Gabe's home and climbed into his bed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"What the hell, man?" Gabe stares at him. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The intruder blinks again. "Merry Christmas?" <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He looks as confused as Gabe feels, which could mean anything, but he doesn't seem like he's there to hurt him. He's just sitting up in the bed, looking at him like he's the only thing in the universe. Which, again, would be nice if it wasn't creepy as hell.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Don't you 'Merry Christmas' me. What're you doing in here?"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
His face falls. "You said you wanted … I volunteered … it was your Christmas wish? You wanted a hug."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Gabe frowns. He vaguely remembers thinking—maybe even stating out loud, to himself—that he just wanted a hug for Christmas. A total stranger shouldn't know about it, though.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"How did you know that?" Gabe eyes him suspiciously.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Santa hears everything." He smiles fondly. "He listens to all his children. Especially the ones he didn't get a chance to visit when they were little."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Are you trying to tell me Santa's real?" Gabe raises an eyebrow in disbelief. "And you're supposed to be what? A Christmas gift?"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"I'm an elf." The guy—the elf, apparently—bounces a little as he says it, and Gabe thinks he hears the faintest jingling sound. Maybe he's just going completely crazy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Right." Gabe wets his lips. It's totally implausible, because someone would have noticed Santa and elves and stuff at some point, but he's inclined to believe it all the same. Something about this elf guy seems too earnest for Gabe to completely doubt him. "From, like, the North Pole?"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The elf nods. There's a faint jingling sound again, so Gabe either is really losing it or this guy? <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Actually an elf. Or something non-human, anyway.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He's not sure he cares which one it is any more. The clock at the side of the bed tells him it's just gone six a.m. and he could really use at least two or three more hours' sleep before he faces the world. It's Christmas morning, he deserves that.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"So do elves have names?"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The elf pauses and narrows his eyes, looking away. Gabe can practically see the hamster wheel turning in his head as he thinks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Felix." He nods decisively.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Like the cat?"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Felix tilts his head sideways. Gabe takes that as a no.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Did you just name yourself?"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Well, I can't give you my real name. It's too dangerous." He draws his knees up to his chest and wraps his arms around them. "Do you not like Felix? You can call me something else if you want."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Uh, no, Felix is fine. You picked it." It hits Gabe again that he's talking to a guy who claims to be an elf. "This is insane."<br />

<b>Genre: Menage / M/M</b></div>
<b><br /></b>
Lauren is in trouble. Only the adoption agency lady knows the heartbreaking decision she’s making. But every baby deserves a father and Lauren’s ex isn’t stepping up to the plate. Without a dad for her child, Lauren doesn’t feel she can give her baby what he or she deserves. When her mother sends her to the Castillo resort in Castle, Alaska to help with a holiday celebration, Lauren jumps at the chance to forget her worries.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Jorell’s career is soaring. In charge of development for the Castillo Resorts Caribbean region, the only thing on his mind is pursuing a vice presidency. Not romance. But a forced transfer to the frozen north throws him—and his prospects off-kilter.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Zachary lives near Castle, Alaska, but the fishing guide has had little success finding a social life and fears his interest in both men and women may be too wild for the wilderness.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Two men and one pregnant woman…in charge of the holiday activities at the Christmas Extravaganza at Castle Lodge. Friendship and intense attraction blooms between them. But Madame Eve has her work cut out for her…will Jorell and Zach provide enough reasons for Lauren to change her mind?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>~Excerpt~</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Lauren,<br /><br />Your aunt and uncle love you very much and, as a special Christmas gift, they’ve allowed me to arrange a unique evening for you. Your date will meet you at the large cabin behind the lodge, for a night you will never forget.<br /><br />Madame Eve</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Perfect. Might as well get it over with—although it would have been simpler to give the guy the slip in the coffee shop or another public area. Kathryn and Nick met through Madame Eve and shared a world-class romance, even now that they were married and parents. Sweet looks, private jokes, stolen kisses…everything any girl could want. She stuffed the paper into her bodice with a sigh.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But she’d already set her course and, if it weren’t for her previous poor judgment and the fact that she’d already fallen hard for two men who had eyes only for each other, it could indeed be a night to remember. Instead, she cut through the gleaming kitchen, smiling at the late night staffers, and out the back door. A light beamed from the front window of the cabin where, according to Andie, she’d spent her first night with her true loves. For just a second an image flashed through her mind—of Jorell and Zach, their nude white and mocha bodies in a four-poster bed, arms outstretched to her in invitation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But the single tear froze on her cheek along with her dreams as she plodded up the path to the cabin and lifted her hand to the door.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It jerked open, and she gasped. Christmas music poured out on a gust of warm, pine-scented air. A tall spruce decked for the holidays glittered in a corner. Low laughter from somewhere near the flickering flames of the fireplace did not come from the auburn-bearded man who greeted her in the open doorway. It came from Jorell.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And Zach’s hand was the one that tugged her inside, when her feet became one with the doorstep. Lauren’s heart thudded so loud in her ears, it drowned out the Carol of the Bells. Her hopes rose to the high rafters then crashed down when she realized….<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“I’m so sorry to interrupt your evening. I must be at the wrong cabin.” And she’d be going back to her room after that, date be darned.<br />
<br />

<b>My Thoughts:</b><br />
I had not read books one and two prior to this tour so I jumped on the chance to read all three books. As a series these books kept me entertained. There was a good blend of Mystery and Paranormal and both are favorites of mine so I was all in. Once I finished book one I had to dive into books two and three right away. I will definitely be reading more by this author in the future.<br />

<b>Excerpt: </b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Together Once More<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite Mark’s eagerness to dive right into the
investigation, he realized he needed to be patient until the next day when the
names Raphael promised would be provided to him. He left his office for home
thinking that at the very least he could discuss the general outlines of job he
was undertaking with his lover. He had long <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
realized that, as a NYC detective, Vinnie’s perspective on
cases was a valuable resource. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately Vinnie was not home when he arrived. Hoping to
secure any possible information about the sword’s whereabouts Mark pulled out a
Bible that Vinnie’s mom had given to her son. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though there were passages mentioning the Archangel Michael,
nothing in any of them indicated what had been the fate of his sword. He was soon
frustrated. With no other ideas on what to do next, he decided he would try to
get some much needed sleep until Vinnie’s return. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite his best efforts however, all he could think about
his current lack of a clear plan to successfully complete the job. He was still
tossing and turning in their bed at three in the morning when an exhausted
Vinnie got back to their apartment. The PI heard his lover making the same type
of racket he always did when he was late getting home at night, while
endearingly trying not to be noisy. Somehow the brawny New York City detective
was simply incapable of being quiet. Mark sighed, just happy to know his
soon-to-be spouse had arrived back safely. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While he listened to Vinnie showering he wondered about the
case the latter was currently assigned too.
Normally they shared the details of their respective cases, but this one
had become the exception to that rule. For some reason, Vinnie was under strict
orders not to divulge any of the facts about it to anyone. Although he had
tried to pry something from Vinnie, the latter had insisted he had given his
word of honor to keep silent. Once Mark heard that he stopped all further
inquiries on the matter. Vinnie took great pride in keeping his promises and he
did not want to be the cause of the detective not keeping such a commitment.
Vinnie’s belief in keeping one’s personal integrity was another quality that
bound them even closer. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He heard the shower go off and then a few minutes later,
Vinnie’s quiet footsteps moving toward their bed. Bad day, hon?” Mark quizzed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Always a bad day,” Vinnie muttered. “About to get better.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a few seconds Mark felt the powerful presence of his
lover’s well-muscled, taller frame
spooning close to his own back. Mark wanted to inform Vinnie right away about
the day’s events. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Vinnie’s actions however, clearly indicated he had something
other than a nice chat in his mind. As
he felt the heat of his lover’s torso pressed against him, Mark decided to
simply enjoy the moment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They had the rest of the night to discuss the location of a
sword. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“God, I miss you every second of every waking moment.”
Vinnie kissed Mark’s ear before
beginning a sensual nibbling. His bristly five o’clock shadow erotically
scraped along the surface of the side of Mark’s neck. The vampire felt his
heart beat faster as familiar sensations of pure arousal flared. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh, you do, huh,” Mark whispered as he pushed himself backward into Vinnie’s powerful embrace. He
sensually wiggled his rump against Vinnie’s aroused manhood until, as he hoped,
he felt his partner moan with delight. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh, babe,” Vinnie grunted as he pulled Mark tighter towards
him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The detective kissed the now tender skin of Mark’s neck. His
warm breath brushed against the vampire’s hair. “More,” Mark mumbled as he used
his hips to wiggle his rump faster across Vinnie’s growing erection. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Fuck,” Vinnie gasped as he humped against Mark’s backside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Soon both men were fully erect. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Definitely.” Mark sighed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh babe, I’m so beat I don’t think I have the energy.”
Vinnie chuckled, even as the erection that was pressing on Mark’s rear seemed
to indicate otherwise. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mark shifted around so that he could face Vinnie. His own
respectable arousal now pressed against his lover’s. “Really? Too tired?” He teased
as he leaned his head forward towards Vinnie’s so they could kiss. Vinnie’s
slowly traced the outline Mark’s lips with the tip of his tongue while Mark let
his right hand descend between their bodies to fondle Vinnie’s nipples. This
action brought gasps from his partner as they stiffened under Mark’s grip. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, maybe not that tired.” Vinnie groaned as he reached
downward to firmly take their joint hardness into a grip of his own. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He slowly pumped them both as they continued kissing. By now
their bodies were sweating. “Mark, I love you man.” Vinnie hissed in the height
of ecstasy, as he rested his head on Mark’s shoulder. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Same, babe.” Mark let himself float on the erotic
stimulations being created by Vinnie’s expert mutual masturbation. Soon Vinnie
was nipping on Mark’s ear, knowing this drove the latter to an even higher
state of arousal. Mark responded by increasing his own manual stimulation of
Vinnie’s nipples. With the patient skill of longtime sexual partners, each had
by now an instinctive knowledge of precisely what turned on the other. The room
filled with their panting. Mark knew that both were edging closer towards a
climax. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Aw yes.” Vinnie groaned………………..<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The council goes to the only person from their
community who they think can find the killer and end his reign. Mark Julian, a
vampire like themselves and New York’s only private eye for the supernatural
world. With the help of his secretary Jaime, an incubus-succubus changeling sex
demon he begins the hunt. His only major problem is that one of New York’s
finest is also on the trail of the fiend who is dispatching the city’s
citizens. When hunky detective Vincent Pasquale and Julian cross paths the gay
detective finds the well-built handsome law officer is not only impeding his
quiet search but also, for the first time in centuries, getting him heated up
as well. Will they join forces or will one of them fall victim to the
sensational choirboy killer?<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />

This year, Cole’s husband, Jonah, is determined things will be different. Not only is he having their bathroom renovated to add a little luxury to their lives, he’s got plans to whisk Cole away for a Christmas vacation.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Wes pushed himself up from the couch where he’d been doing research for his latest case. “Just a sec.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">When he stepped into the hall, he froze in disbelief. Tristan was stuck in the doorway with at least three shopping bags in each hand. “What did you do?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan looked at him like he was a simpleton. “I went shopping.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Wes sighed as he held the door open so Tristan could push through. Then he followed his lover to the living room where Tristan dropped the bags in the middle of the floor and plopped down beside them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“I thought you went for a run. What the hell were you doing shopping on the day after Thanksgiving?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan again stared at Wes like maybe he’d been replaced by an alien, one without much brainpower. “Buying Christmas decorations, of course.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“Christmas decorations?” Wes did not want to consider the possibility that all those bags were full of Santas, reindeer, and glittery balls. Tristan’s balls were all Wes required this Christmas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“Sure. I thought we could put them up this afternoon.” Wes’s horror grew as Tristan pulled out a red and green sweater. “Look what I got for Cole.” Tristan held up the offensive garment and Wes fought the urge to shrink backward. On the front was a wolf in a Santa suit surrounded by sheep wearing elf hats. It said “A Wolf in Santa’s Clothing.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“That is… hideous.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan laughed. “I know. Isn’t it fantastic?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“Tris, look… I don’t—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“Check these out.” He held up lights shaped like reindeer. “They even blink.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Wes knew arguing with Tristan was useless but he felt compelled to make a small effort anyway. “I usually just put a wreath on the door.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan gave him an innocent look, the little bastard. “Really?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“Tristan.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“Oh, it’s just a few little things,” Tristan said, clearly unconcerned about Wes’s frustration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“Tell me you don’t have an album of cats meowing Christmas songs in there.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan put his hands on his hips, which looked ridiculous with him sitting on the floor surrounded by Christmas decor. “How insulting! Do you really not know I prefer the barking dogs? I find cats too… slinky.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Wes groaned. “You’re going to be even more impossible than usual from now until Christmas, aren’t you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“I’m going to be festive.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“A tree, stockings, maybe a few other small items. That’s festive enough. I can’t live in the middle of North Pole Central.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan rolled his eyes. “Stop being such a scrooge.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan’s sly, sexy grin derailed Wes’s train of thought. “I’m sure I can change your mind.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“You’re always so damn sure you can get your way.” And all too often he was right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan crawled across the floor, and talk about slinky, he looked more jaguar than stallion. Wes’s cock took immediate notice. Wes dropped his legs open, knowing Tristan was playing him but not caring. No matter how annoyed he was, he wasn’t going to turn his man down. Tristan settled himself between Wes’s thighs and put his hand on the fastening of his jeans. He caught Wes’s gaze, green eyes twinkling. “Christmas is the season of giving, sweetheart. Just tell me what you’d like me to give.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“You’re offering sex in exchange for turning the house into Tacky Christmas Wonderland?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan popped Wes’s snap. “I am. Tell me what you want.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“Tristan.” Wes tried to sound ominous but probably just sounded horny as hell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Tristan slid his zipper down, not easy in that position considering how hard Wes was. He licked his lips and looked into Wes’s eyes. “You want to tie me up? Paddle me? Tell me what it’s gonna cost.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">Wes’s breath caught as Tristan ran a finger over his cock, which was still trapped behind his boxer briefs. “This is insane.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;">“I give something, you give something. What’s insane about that?” With a mischievous smile, Tristan opened Wes’s jeans wider and pulled his cock free.<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Silvia Violet writes erotic romance in a variety of genres
including paranormal, contemporary, sci fi, and historical. She can be found
haunting coffee shops looking for the darkest, strongest cup of coffee she can
find. Once equipped with the needed fuel, she can happily sit for hours
pounding away at her laptop. Silvia typically leaves home disguised as a
suburban stay-at-home-mom, and other coffee shop patrons tend to ask her
hilarious questions like "Do you write children's books?" She loves
watching the looks on their faces when they learn what she's actually up to.
When not writing, Silvia enjoys baking sinfully delicious treats, exploring new
styles of cooking, and reading to her incorrigible offspring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
