Danny may be a virgin, but that's not all he is...

When a fellow dom points Aaron in the direction of the new guy visiting in their local leather bar, there are a lot of things that draw him to Danny. One of those things is the rumor that Danny is a virgin in terms of leather, guy-on-guy action, and even in so far as his experience with girls. Add to that the fact that Danny is hot as hell and knows how to throw down a challenge, and Aaron is helpless to resist.

Danny knew as soon as he laid eyes on Aaron that he wanted him. He's not going to let a little thing like complete inexperience get in his way. He survived his best friend drunkenly admitting their virginity to the entire club on their first night there, but that doesn't mean he likes the way people have treated him, or the assumptions they've made about him since that night.

Can a virgin handle coming face to face with a serious and experienced dom? Maybe the real question is, can the dom handle the virgin?

 

 

Excerpt:

 

“Fresh meat.”

Aaron Banks ignored his friend’s words in favour of handing his money to the bartender and picking up his beer.

“Are you listening to me?” Steve demanded from just behind Aaron’s left shoulder.

“Not really.” He took a deep swig from his glass. He’d heard enough talking over the last eight weeks to last him a lifetime.

All projects had their complicated moments and, God knew, he was used to awkward customers, but the bickering pair of barristers he’d just finished working for hadn’t just taken the biscuit, they’d bloody well run off with the biscuit barrel too.

Aaron sighed and rolled his shoulders in an effort to rid his muscles of two months’ worth of tension. Closing his eyes for a moment, he let the noise of all the guys in the bar wash over him. The murmurs of muted conversations all blurred together. The whole place pounded to the rhythm of the music from the dance floor on the other side of the club.

There were no lyrics to the song, no syllables to spoil the deep base. Combined with the scent of leather and sex filling the air, it was sheer perfection.

A few hours spent doing something that required no words at all, and he knew he’d be back to his usual self.

“Does that mean you’re not interested in breaking him in?”

Of course, Steve never had been very good at shutting the hell up and letting a guy relax in peace.

Aaron turn around. “What are you babbling about?”

“The new guy.”

“Any new guy in particular?” Aaron asked idly, as he ran an assessing eye over the men around him. He wasn’t even sure that he was in the mood to play with a new guy. Hard-core with a stranger would take way too much negotiation. Quick and dirty in the men’s room could be arranged with nothing more than a look, but wouldn’t be entirely satisfying.

An old friend who just happened to also be a horny sub would probably give him the best of—

Steve grabbed Aaron’s arm and dragged him several paces to the left, almost spilling both their beers in the process. “I’m talking about him.” Through the press of men, Steve pointed out a young guy standing with a group on the other side of the room. “We have a virgin in our midst!”

 

 

 

That's it for me at the moment. I'm still editing Masochist's Choice. Hopefully I'll have some concrete news on it that I can share soon.

Better than Sex - Available Now

Hi everyone!

Better than Sex has just been released by Amber Allure. You can buy it now, direct from the publisher's website, at a special new release price.

Clicking on the cover will take you to the publisher's website. Or, you can scroll down to read the blurb and the excerpt.

Blurb:

Brody has been admiring the new guy at the engineering firm where he works for the last six months. Wallace is all the things Brody isn’t—confident, stunning, sex-on-legs. Oh, and straight. Working alongside Wallace is the highlight of Brody’s week, and fantasizing about Wallace is the full extent of his sex life.

But Wallace has other ideas. The moment he joined the firm, Wallace knew he’d have trouble keeping his hands off Brody. In an effort to stay professional at work, he’s kept his sexuality to himself, but that’s about to change.

When he hears Brody say that seeing the latest project leave the premises is “better than sex,” Wallace knows he has to take action. It’s time someone taught Brody how good sex can be—especially when it’s served up with a generous helping of leather.

Excerpt:

“It’s a bloody wonderful feeling, isn’t it?”

“Hell, yeah.” Brody rested his forearms on the railings, leaving just an inch between his elbow and Wallace’s hand, and peered down into the loading bay.

As they watched, a van revved its engine and pulled away, taking with it the last parts of McFadden, Rutledge and Jones’s latest completed project. The carefully calibrated machines were, at long last, safely tucked away in their containers, each one of them wrapped up with the same kind of care a doting mother might bestow upon her newborn.

The job was done. It was on time, on budget and, best of all, it was now officially on its way out of the building.

As the van turned a corner and rolled out of sight, Brody’s attention strayed, not for the first time, to the man standing beside him.

As Brody subtly observed him out of the corner of his eye, Wallace rolled his shoulders. “Feels like a ton weight’s been lifted off my back,” he said, with one of those lopsided grins that inevitably made Brody’s cock rise very quickly to the occasion. “It’s better than winning the bloody lottery.”

“Better than beating England at Rugby,” Brody offered, in a vague effort to make it seem like he was paying attention to Wallace’s words rather than just admiring the view he presented.

Wallace already had his regulation overalls halfway off, the arms of the dark blue boiler suit tied around his waist. Only a close-fitting white T-shirt now stood between Brody and Wallace’s naked skin. The leather jacket tossed over Wallace’s shoulder only added a hint of welcome darkness to the picture.

Wallace laughed, but he didn’t look away from the loading bay and make it necessary for Brody to drop his gaze. “During the last minute of extra time, to win the grand slam,” he suggested, upping the ante even more. His Scottish accent deepened in line with his enthusiasm.

“Better than sex,” Brody said, now speaking entirely on auto-pilot.

Silence fell between them and stretched out for several seconds. Wallace tilted his head to one side. “Maybe you’re doing it wrong.”

Brody frowned, wondering if he’d missed an entire segment of the conversation. “What?”

“Maybe you’re doing it wrong,” Wallace repeated, his gaze still never leaving the bare concrete floor below them.

“You’ve lost me,” Brody admitted. He decided it was best not to add that any such lapse in concentration probably had something to do with the way all his blood had rushed to his cock the moment Wallace joined him overlooking the loading bay. Not for the first time since Wallace joined the company, he sent up silent thanks for the fact that his own overalls were baggy enough to hide even the most flourishing erection.

“Finishing a project feels good, agreed—especially one which was this much of a bugger. Meeting a tight deadline is a rush, and God knows the bonus is going to come in useful,” Wallace said, as he turned to face Brody properly. “But, if you think any of those things comes anywhere near feeling as good as sex does, then you’re doing something seriously wrong in the sack.”

Brody stopped leaning on the railing and automatically mirrored Wallace’s posture. He swallowed several times in quick succession and pinned his best imitation of a friendly, but distinctly non-sexual, smile to his lips. “Thanks, but I think I worked out the basics a long time ago, mate.”

He was about to make himself turn away when Wallace huffed. “The basics? If all you’re doing is inserting tab A into slot B, it’s no wonder what we’re doing at work is the highlight of your week.”

Brody’s feet welded themselves to the floor. Walking away when Wallace was talking about sex was simply not possible. Brody was slightly shorter than Wallace and had to tilt his head back to meet his gaze. Their eyes locked and Brody willed suitable words to his lips, but they wouldn’t come.

It was bloody hard to lie while maintaining eye contact with Wallace, and the truth was that Brody’s working hours had been the best part of his week ever since Wallace joined the team. Fantasising about Wallace had also comprised the entirety of his sex life during that time.

Unfortunately, Brody knew damn well that Wallace was only interested in inserting his particular tab into female slots. Admitting that he was all in favour of being the slot to Wallace’s tab, was not a good idea.

Brody swallowed. Apparently nothing, not even the kind of weird lingo usually reserved for constructing dodgy flat pack furniture could make being screwed by Wallace anything other than bone tinglingly erotic.

“I…” he mumbled.

Wallace took half a step forward and dipped his head to put his lips near Brody ear, as if to share a secret. “I’m not talking about the basics, angel. I’m talking about the kind of sex that makes you scream so loudly your throat aches—the kind that involves every bit of your mind as well as your body. I promise you—once you get past the basics and bring out the leather, a whole new world will open up to you.”

“Leather,” Brody repeated, as if he’d never heard the word.

Wallace closed the gap between them even farther. The scent of his jacket immediately overloaded Brody’s senses.

“Yeah, leather,” Wallace whispered. He dipped his head so his lips almost brushed Brody’s ear. “Specifically, the kind that’s used to make whips and paddles.”


Thanks for reading! The story is available here.

Flashback - M/M Romance Group Stories

Hi guys,

My story for this years free story event with the Goodreads M/M Romance Group is finally with the proof reader, so I thought this would be a good time to poke everyone and remind them about the stories from the previous years events.

 *****

Back in 2010, they the group started off with a Christmas story. 25 writers contributed stories.

 

My story was called A Bugger to Pack and was inspired by this image.

 

  

 

 

You can read it in this anthology....

 

 

 

 

*****

 

In July 2010, I picked this picture and wrote a story called Masochism 101.

 

 

The story is now in this anthology...

 

 

*****

 

 

On to 2012 and I wrote Safe, based on this picture...

 

 

 

 

You can find the story here. (I'm pretty sure it's in one of the anthologies for the event too, but I'm drawing a blank trying to remember which one, lol.)

This year the event is....

And my story is based on this pic....

I think it was probably the most challenging story to write, both because it's a long time since I wrote high fantasy, and also because when you have four guys rolling around together, there are a lot of limbs to sort out!

*****

That's it for now. But I should be back later in the week, because I had lot of new cover art through today and it should be finalised soon :)

Have a great week all!

*Hugs*

In other news, April is the end of the tax year in the UK. So, I've been tallying things up, including the donations made via the charity books.

 

So far...

 

Gay Friendly has raised £789.87 for Ty Hafan Children's Hospice.

 

Touching Wood has raised $186.69 for ALSO Out Youth (Florida).

 

In the Blink of an Eye has raised £172.08 for Dogs for the Disabled.

 

***

 

On a similiar subject, by my math, Riptide publishing has so far raised $674.00 for The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom via sales of O, Come All Ye Kinky. (You may remember that the original charity chosen was the Domestic Violence Project of the National Leather Association - International. Unfortunatly, that no longer appears to be in operation, which is why another charity was chosen to take its place.)

Moving on to giveaway results!

 

Anna won a copy of Temporary Mark on Emily's Birthday Bash.

Masochist's Choice will be the fifth title in the Sun, Sea and Submission series. It will hopefully be released in June.
