Pete and Chris live and work in Chicago’s Boystown, a gay community where pride and same-sex love is a way of life. Aiming to boost his career at his uncle’s tattoo shop, Pete enters the ink he’s doing on muscleman Chris into a local contest. However, to bare his body for the crowd, Chris wants a chance at more than friendship with the sexy artist. At minimum, Chris demands a real date—and hopes he’ll get dessert.

Pete doesn’t mix business with pleasure. His rules are clear but Chris is out to break every single one and win Pete’s heart and body. The sex and ink are hot but Pete knows it’ll catch up to him. However, since he’s doing the work for free, that means Chris isn’t really a customer anymore…

Opening Night

A heated one-night stand a year ago doesn’t stop Barb from starring on Broadway with Drew, a hot young hunk. Their new play is a hit, and Drew is out to prove there’s more to their relationship than that one fling. Locking them in a dressing room, he ties her up and uses sex to reveal the truth of her feelings—which is exactly what she needs from him. He might be young, but he proves he’s the strong partner she needs to free her from the mask she wears every day.

Mustang Shifters Anyone??

2011-11-02T17:10:00.000-07:00

Shifters are hot...most are predators. I wanted to do something a little different;)

The Mustang round ups out west were getting a lot of press and what could be more perfect??

Wild mustangs who've never been saddled! That's a shifter waiting to happen!!

Blurb:

Mustang roundups by the government are nothing new out west. When two horses turn up on Diane’s ranch, she isn’t shocked until they turn into hot men then have sex in her barn. The shifters ask for her help but letting them stay the night turns into much more. All the extra hands help with the chores and fulfill her needs…but wild mustangs deserve to roam and Diane won’t saddle them—bareback is a much better ride!

Link: http://www.resplendencepublishing.com/m8/384-201-119-469-12--moonlight-and-mustangs-phases-series-book-eleven-by-cheryl-dragon.html

Excerpt:

Roaming the great plains of Nevada with the wind whipping through his mane, Marshall Featherstone was one with the earth. His ancestors had lived here, taming dogs and horses to work with them. Those days called to his animal side, the times before reservations and government dictated the fate of his people. Looking at his mate, Buck, a perfect, splotchy-paint horse, it felt damn near perfect. All their muscles and free mustang spirits were unleashed as they ran with a mass of untamed horses.

Not all the horses shifted to human form, most didn’t, but Marshall loved that part—being free to explore their true totem and run with the real thing. He and Buck James both loved the wild and rugged land north of Vegas. Bright lights and big cities weren’t for them. Yet, they’d wandered through most of their twenties and had yet to find the female to complete their life. They needed that final piece for them to set down roots and build a home. Marshall wanted a place to call home. Their nomadic days needed to come to an end.

A new noise spooked the horses. Beyond the thunder of hundreds of hooves, Marshall heard something cut the air. Spotlights came down on them, and the group angled in a new trajectory. Fear and panic were fragrant in their reactions. Looking to Buck, Marshall was concerned. The man was sensitive, but in mustang form, he gave in and went wild. He’d earned his nickname “Buck” from his horse behavior.

Other horses pushed into Buck, and one fell. The contact set off Buck, and he kicked and stomped, finally rearing like a rodeo horse trying to dump a rider. Marshall maneuvered out of the group as best he could and came around to his mate. It was unnatural horse behavior, but he couldn’t leave his man. Nothing would separate them.

Losing sight of Buck sent Marshall’s heart pounding. Glimpses helped but a larger horse bounded by and knocked Buck off balance and to the ground. The sounds of vehicles grew closer, and Marshall knew it was a government roundup.

Wild mustangs were dying from disease and lack of food. He could see the ribs of many of the true horses running along the path. The wild grasses were sparse, and the drought and wild fires out west weren’t helping matters, but nature could be rough. Survival of the fittest was how animals lived. Breaking their spirit with saddles didn’t mean salvation for this breed.

No matter what Uncle Sam wanted, no one was taking him and Buck. That would be too dangerous. Finally, Marshall found Buck, who was back on his hooves. Marshall moved in next to him. The bumps and bruises didn’t show yet, but Buck’s gait was off.

They should’ve known better than to shift and go out during the Hunter’s Moon. Mustangs had no natural predators here, but they forgot that man was always the supreme hunter. In some way, man had to dominate every inch of earth and the animals on it.

Marshall picked up the pace and tried to get to the farthest right side of the group so they could veer off to avoid capture. As much as Buck tried, he couldn’t keep up. They’d fall back and be caught for sure. If they were lucky, they could escape, but if they were discovered, Marshall didn’t want to think about what might happen to them.

Generations had kept the secret of animal shifters, people so connected to their animal totem and the spirit of the wild they could become one with them. Shifting between animal and human form was a gift, and the government wouldn’t let them waltz out of custody with that power.

Marshall and Buck would not be the ones to betray their legacy and expose their existence. Buck snorted, and Marshall knew the pain was getting to his lover. When Buck darted out of the group and off down a trail, Marshall followed and prayed no one else did. The herd mentality was sometimes hard to shake, but so many of the other horses were bounding toward the trap that Marshall and Buck broke free.

No one seemed to notice. No one followed.
Buck galloped down the path toward a fence. One of the boards was broken. Marshall turned as Buck crashed through at the weak spot and entered private property.

Marshall turned and trotted to the fence and followed Buck. They might get shot. Weird ranchers sometimes wielded rifles before they saw it was a harmless animal. Marshall waited for some old coot with no teeth and a long beard to rush out of the house. But the pair made it into the barn before anyone appeared. It was a good hiding spot. The government couldn’t invade private property—well, they could and had, but for a couple of horses? It wasn’t worth the potential lawsuit.

Inside, Buck shook his head and paced slowly. They were stronger in animal form, but sharing energy for healing was far more erotic in human form. Marshall nudged Buck’s neck, and the connection helped. The energy sparked, but Marshall sensed Buck’s pain. They needed to rest. This would be safe for now. If they were lucky, no one was home and they could stay the night.

The rustling of feathers made Marshall look to the back of the barn. He didn’t see anything, but the noise seemed to be coming from farther back on property. Feet stomped the ground. Someone lived here and owned those animals. Maybe they were away? Or it was an old deaf guy who wouldn’t be bothered to come out now. Marshall tried to be hopeful. He’d make sure he and Buck were gone by morning.

The pounding of hooves stopped, and Marshall knew the government had the horses in their gates. All those horses were now captives and fenced in for life. The quiet made Marshall’s skin twitch. Only the bird sounds and Buck’s heavy breathing filled the air now. Then a door slammed in the distance. Buck startled and exhaled loudly.

Buck’s injury could be many things, a broken rib or just a bad bruise. Marshall needed to get Buck to human form and look at him, but as the footsteps grew closer, they had a bigger problem to deal with first. They could try to run but Buck wouldn’t last long. There were other ranches, but would they find a safe one before Buck gave out? Marshall had trusted nature to guide him through is life. He had to trust again that they’d made it to the right place to survive.

Dealing with the human world was necessary and not unwelcome, but shifters had to be careful. They lived for the freedom and would die trying to protect each other. Whoever the rancher was, Marshall would die before he’d fall into government hands or let Buck be shot. The big debate was in what form to face the rancher. Human or horse?

Hope you like a shifter or two with hooves instead of claws:) I had a blast writing about these peace-loving desert roamers who find a home!

M/M erotic romance....just in time for Illinois legalization of civil unions (weddings start June 1st)....

Winner Takes All

Released 5/25/11

Genre: M/M Erotic Romance

Blurb:

Kyle wants Jim and Kyle gets what he wants no matter how hard he has to fight. This time, he’ll fight harder than ever because Jim thinks Kyle’s a player and he’s been around players before. He suspects Kyle’s games have ulterior motives, and he’s not about to fold.

As competitors at a tradeshow, they show off their martial arts skills to demonstrate their products, but they soon discover they share a fetish for taking wrestling and fighting to the next level—late night wrestling matches that end with the winner getting whatever he wants. But with everything on the line, it will be a fight to the end to discover which winner takes all.

Excerpt:

Kyle Ogden never got tired of tradeshows. As he and his coworker, Arthur, put together their booth at the Martial Arts Supply Show in Vegas, Kyle kept an eye out for friends and customers.

Like most businesses, even with a big market, it was really a small world. Kyle had started with the Right Fit Equipment company out of college. At first, he’d done everything from Youth Sports to custom athletic shoes, but once his boss had learned Kyle had a brown belt in Karate and was working on other martial arts, she’d put him on the wrestling and very hot martial arts circuit. Kyle loved it!

“Your boy toy is over there.” Arthur nodded to the booth across the aisle. If Kyle was the demo specialist, Arthur was the tech guy.

“Shut it. His company isn’t exactly gay friendly.” Kyle looked over. Jim Park stood there surveying the booth area with his ice queen of a coworker, Ms. Chen. Both were Asian, but Jim was friendly and laid back. Ms. Chen wasn’t very social especially with the competition.

Arthur just shook his head. “He gives you a different excuse every show. Why do you bother?”

“Do you give up every time a potential customer says no?”

“He’s not a customer. He’s the competition. Dating the enemy when you’re in marketing and strategy wouldn’t be smart. Jim’s got some sense. You’re crazy.”

“Well, he won’t date me so it’s not a problem.” Kyle stared at the lean muscle on Jim’s tall body. With dark eyes and straight black hair that flopped into his eyes at times, Jim was hot. Kyle enjoyed the view when Jim bent to work on the booth. A firm ass, strong legs, and a sculpted back all hinted at the sexy man under the clothes.

Jim worked for the private company, Ping Inc. They were smaller but loved to put a dent in Right Fit’s market share. Not only conservative, Ping went for the traditional styles in everything.

“Get yourself an Asian boyfriend and get it out of your system. Jim isn’t going to bite. You’ve been trying for over a year. It’s getting boring,” Arthur said.

“I’ve dated all types of guys, it’s not the Asian thing. It’s him. He’s intense when we talk.”

“I’ve heard he’s straight.”

Kyle shook his head. “No way. He’s playing it for Ms. Chen. Some companies you just can’t be out at. Go distract Ms. Chen.” Arthur had a thing for her. Kyle knew it was just a fantasy, but he’d use Arthur to get Jim alone.

“No, she’s better in my imagination wearing leather and riding me.” Arthur turned and went back to work.

Kyle chuckled. “We’ve all got our things, man. Go ask her how she is with a riding crop?” Working these shows together for a while now, Kyle and Arthur knew each other well. Kyle would lay down good money that Arthur liked his women in charge.

“Kyle! She’d slap me and stab me with those high heels.” Arthur’s tone wasn’t scared or repulsed.

“You’d love it.” Enough torturing Arthur. “Fine, tell her you heard a couple distributors talking about acquiring Ping. That they are in talks with the big boy owners. You don’t want to spread rumors, but you thought she should know.”

“You’re mean. Then what? She’ll ask who and where they are.” Arthur was a tech guy in more than sales. He knew how much force a fall mat could take and the strength of their clothes. Most of what they did at shows was clothing and safety related gear. Safety was essential as kids got into martial arts more and more.

Clothing styles varied and individualization was growing as more people tried it. Which meant new supply companies popped up all the time to compete. Many flopped. Some like Ping had found a niche in traditional styles. Their lines were classic. Right Fit wanted to be cutting edge.

Ping employees were conscious of the competition and that the owners could sell them in a second for a tidy profit. “Tell her you didn’t get names, but you’ll find them. Take her around looking. Of course, you can’t find them. Maybe, they’re in a private meeting? You’ll let her know when you see them. That way you can go back and flirt more with her.”

“Wild goose chase.” Arthur didn’t object too much and smoothed his hair.

“And compliment her shoes. Buy her a coffee. Geez, I’m gay. Getting girls shouldn’t be my area.”

“Her shoes? She’ll think I’m gay,” Arthur said.

Kyle took another look. Open toe with red painted toenails, black high heels with red dragons on the side. “No man, those are fuck me heels. Tell her you like the Chinese dragon art. She’ll bite.”

“Her restraint is better than Jim’s. You need to get Jim alone and make a move.” Arthur popped a breath mint. “You owe me one.”

Kyle watched Arthur catch Ms. Chen and lure her away with business talk. It was the one thing she couldn’t resist. A little tradeshow fun couldn’t hurt. Kyle enjoyed yanking Jim around since Jim refused to flat out say he wasn’t interested or to just go out with Kyle. He needed to find Jim’s weak spot. What couldn’t Jim resist?

Walking over, Kyle helped Jim position part of the booth backdrop. “You can run, but you know you’ll see me again. Nice set up today.”

“Ping and Right Fit. Close in the alphabet so close in proximity. Your company should pay for prominent end space.” Jim pointed to the huge booths on the ends.

Kyle shook his hand. “Nah. We do quality and style in the martial arts stuff. Those guys are into quantity and flash for the uncommitted. We’ll take that business, but we don’t go in that big. Wastes money to over compete.” He moved closer. “Hit my next belt in Tae Kwon Do. How are you doing?”

Straightening the picture on the booth wall, Jim shrugged. “Good. I’m considering others. I’m more about control and strength.”

“I’d be good for that,” Kyle joked. “Come on. Ms. Chen is nowhere in sight. Quite being so paranoid.”

Jim stopped arranging and looked at Kyle. “Stop. We have a lot in common, and we could be friends, but I’m not playing out my personal life at a work function.”

“You won’t see me outside of work so you’re tying my hands.”

Jim glared. “I’ve told you. It’s not right. We’re competitors. There are at least four good reasons for us not to do anything. Our careers are number one.”

Leaning in, Kyle got close to Jim’s ear as if what he said was a trade secret. But he inhaled the masculine scent and had to control his desire to kiss Jim right there. “When I get you naked, we won’t be talking about customers or company policy. You’ll be begging for more.”

Jim took a half step back and leveled a harsh stare at Kyle. There was fire behind his eyes. The stare lacked the icy edge Ms. Chen managed, but it said back off.

“You seem to be doing the begging. I think you’re working very hard for another no. Plenty of men here would say yes so it must be our products.” Jim set a new pad sample on the counter area.

“I didn’t know you had a new mat coming out. Actually innovating, Jim? Shocking for Ping.” Kyle felt the pad.

“As much protection with half the bulk.” Jim nodded with pride.

“Nice. But I’m not the tech guy. I’ll let Arthur press Ms. Chen for specs. I want to know why you keep dodging me. Even at the martial arts class, you won’t spar with me even though we’re well matched.” Kyle had first notice Jim at the academy. Maybe that was it, seeing Jim all sweaty in combat. L.A. had a few good
academies. Jim had walked into Kyle’s about fifteen months ago.

Then Jim had been at the very next tradeshow Kyle had worked. It was fate. With Jim’s passion for the competitions, Kyle knew they were a fit. If only Jim would give it a try.

After the initial rejection, Kyle had truly tried to get Jim out of his mind. Hitting on other men, dating and enjoying them was one thing, but he couldn’t get the idea of Jim’s quiet restraint out of his head. Sparing with Jim would be ten times as arousing, especially in competition.

Enjoy the Excerpt!!!

Jessica’s Salon was a fixture in Lucky Springs. Some had tried to open competing places, but they never lasted. People were just used to coming here. Her great aunt had owned it and passed it down. Every day, Jessica styled hair and listened to all the news. Part therapist, part friend, and part beauty genius—she loved it!

This morning was her favorite client, the one who actually wanted to hear what was going on with Jessica. Her cousin, Cassie. She’d been home for six months straight and showed no sign of going back to her nomadic ways to take pictures. A handsome neighbor had gotten wandering Cassie to stay put.

“Hey, Jess!” Cassie grinned from ear-to-ear as she slipped into the salon before the official opening time. Cassie was always smiling now.

“Hi, Cassie. You look like the cat that got the rat.”

“Or three.” Cassie hugged her cousin and headed for the shampoo station. “Hi, Andrew!”

Jessica had completely forgotten Andrew was coming in early to help his boyfriend, Stuart, with inventory. Andrew was the best stylist and her best friend in Louisiana. She’d met him in beauty school and hired him as soon as she had her own salon. He brought along Stuart. The cute and serious man managed the office, payroll, ordering and inventory. Most of the women loved having cute, younger men fussing over their hair. Their husbands felt better knowing the pair was gay. It worked out.

“Hey, Cassie!” Andrew winked from the back room.

Jessica caught an extra bounce in Cassie’s mood today. “What’s up?” she asked automatically as she shampooed Cassie’s soft brown locks.

“Nothing new here. Life’s great. What about you?” Cassie stared up at Jess.

“Same old here, too. The guys are doing inventory.”

“You don’t look okay.” Cassie toweled off her hair and moved to the big chair.

“I’m fine. When you’re about to turn thirty-five, we’ll see how you take it.” Jessica combed out Cassie’s hair and saw the smile in the mirror. “Okay, fine, maybe you’re so happy and in love with Dominic that you won’t care.”

“Sorry. I wish you were this happy. So it’s your birthday? Or is the problem that Frank hasn’t been around?” They acted like sisters, and the honesty between them was refreshing.

Normally, Jessica had to support and sympathize with clients, whether she agreed or not. But with Cassie, Jessica couldn’t hide her real feelings. “Both. Neither. Frank never made any huge promises to come back. But I always thought by now he’d be back.” Frank was her high school boyfriend, but he’d wanted college and to take the world by storm with his best friend, Eric.

Jessica just wanted to cut hair and stay in small town Lucky Springs forever. Her family, her friends and life were all right here. Frank planned to make millions and move back to run his business from Lucky Springs. But times had been tough, and now those dreams felt silly and idealistic. “I’m an idiot.”

“No, you’re not!” Cassie jumped in. “Frank has come back every year, sometimes twice. To see you! He’s got it just as bad as you do. The economy is still tough. Lucky Springs is doing okay, but the factory is slowing down. No layoffs but still. Not that that is an excuse. Frank should’ve moved back years ago. Has he called or anything?”

Jessica shook her head.

Andrew slid out from the back room and hugged Jessica from behind. “No and he’s crazy, if you ask me. That man might be hot, but he doesn’t know what he’s got.”

Smiling, Jess let her head rest on Andrew’s strong shoulder. He was sexy with blond spiky hair, blue eyes and a winning smile. Stuart was more classically handsome with brown hair, but the pair always teased her, hitting on her as if it were a dare for her to say yes. Some days, she wanted to call their bluff just to see what they’d do. They were so sexy. She loved them, knew them and they were here. To watch them together would be amazing. “What is it about the one that got away?” she asked.

Cassie shrugged. “Until now, I was always the one going away so I can’t answer that. But you’ve dated other guys. It’s not as if you’ve been in a convent for fifteen years. Maybe Frank’s pal Eric is the problem? I don’t remember him being a jerk in high school, but swinging single men in the big city…”

“No, Eric is a great guy. He always gives Frank and me plenty of time alone in town, but he’s great to hang out with. I had a crush on him in junior high. If Frank ever dumped me, I might go after Eric but they’re always together so it’d get weird. What am I doing wrong?” Jess hated it. All these hot men, and she slept alone.

“Nothing!” Cassie and Andrew said in unison.

“You’re the hottest single woman in Lucky Springs.” Andrew pointed her toward the mirror. “Look at that sexy mocha skin, glossy brown hair with those auburn highlights done by yours truly. And you have green eyes that men get lost in. It’s not you. What can we do to make you feel better?”

“I don’t know. A one-night-stand won’t fix it. I want to feel sexy and desired, not cheap and used. I want someone to pay attention to me. I just want to enjoy my birthday and not think about everything. Great sex and to feel beautiful. Is that too much to ask?” Jess stared in the mirror. She wasn’t a bad package.

“Stuart and I are always available.” Andrew squeezed her waist.

“I wouldn’t ask you to sacrifice like that.” Jess kissed his cheek.

“We might be able to fix this.” Cassie smiled.

Jess held up her hands. “No, not your boyfriend’s brother. I don’t want charity.”

“You’re too hot to be labeled charity.” Andrew nudged her into the chair.

Cassie looked at Andrew. “Not him. I think we need to tell her.”

Andrew lifted an eyebrow. “You’re sure?”

“What? Tell me what?” Jess’ hopes lifted. Maybe Frank was coming in? She refused to ask out loud. No doubt about it, Jess needed to wean herself off the dream.

Cassie sat in the next chair. “I got mixed up with Dom because of these parties he has. He was my neighbor and attractive, but when I moved back, I heard a lot of noise and went over to check. They’re into the group thing—sort of. And I got pulled into it, too. Way hot.”

“Parties? Group?” Jessica’s brain spun, but her body tingled. “You sleep with just random groups?”

“No, not random. It’s not like that.” Cassie blushed. “Just Dom and Monty and Alex and sometimes Ham.”

“Wow.” Jessica swallowed. “Sometimes Ham?”

“He’s a little kinkier than I am, but I’m sure he’ll find the right girl. You’re not right for him, but I think we could arrange something. Plenty of guys at these parties would love to make your birthday memorable.”

“Not your guys?” Jessica shook her head. Was she really thinking about this as an option? Cassie was serious. If she were lying, she’d be giggling by now. Cassie wasn’t this good at practical jokes.

“No, those are all mine. Ham is unique. But the other three, no other girls for them. But we still do the party thing once a month. It’s really hot to watch and be watched.”

“You’re serious?” Jess looked up at Andrew. “You know about this?”

“Yes. It’s not like I go every month. But Stuart and I have been known to go just to show off and watch. There are hot men. We like looking at girls, too.”

“Sure. But how is it I don’t know about this? I know everything that happens in this town! People spill their guts in these chairs. Why didn’t you tell me?” She smacked them both on the arms.

“Stuart and I have offered to help you personally. Repeatedly.” Andrew folded his arms.

Cassie gave her cousin a look but let that comment go. “I didn’t know until I moved back. It’s a big secret so the more conservative of the town don’t freak. It’s not that big, really. I know it’s not normal, but it works for us. Not that I’m suggesting you need that every day. But one time with a group of men just focused on pleasing you… It’d be a birthday you’ll want to remember.”

“Pleasing me?” Jess pushed away thoughts of porn with demanding men.

Andrew leaned down. “Exactly. There are men who love sex and love to get women off. You deserve it!”

“I couldn’t do that at a party with people watching.” Jessica rejected the idea on her reputation alone. The grandmothers of Lucky Springs came here to get their hair set. They could ruin her weekly revenue.

“Okay, fine. We can set up a private party. That’s how it started for me. I think four men would be good. Three can get the job done, but it’s your birthday.” Cassie made it sound as if they were ordering enough cake.

Jess took a few deep breaths. “Who are these men? I don’t want to know. This isn’t about love, Cassie. It’s about sex and birthday fun. I don’t want to pick men. This is insane. How will I know it’s safe? I mean, will they just show up at my house?” Jess got up and grabbed her scissors. “I need to trim your hair before the regulars arrive. Thanks for the offer, but it’s too much for me.”

“Don’t say that. You’ve had a bit of a dry spell.” Andrew leaned on the counter. “What if you’re blindfolded? You won’t see them. We’ll pick the guys. It’ll be really safe and mysterious. Super hot.”

Cassie smiled wide. “Definitely. And they’ll never tell you. These are guys from the party who will keep the secret. They’ll play by the rules, always use protection and want to please. We can trust them.”

“But I won’t know who they are. I’ll be blindfolded. This is nuts. That’s not safe. What has Dom done to you?” Jess asked.

“So many wonderful things. I’m trying to share the goodness. Just not my men.” Cassie shrugged.

“Stuart!” Jessica called.

He stepped out from the office with clipboard in hand. “What do you need?”

“Do you hear this? Do you know about this?” she demanded.

A smile tugged at his lips. “Obviously, I don’t let Andrew go to parties alone. I think it’d be good for you. If you’re not sure about the safety, have Cassie and Dom chaperone the private party. She can get video just in case you ever want to see it. If you’re at all curious, you’ll like it more than you think.”

“Sure, my cousin wants to watch me in a group sex romp, blindfolded, and she’ll record it.” Jess tapped the scissors to the back of her hand. The pinch told her it was no dream.

Cassie spun in the chair. “Remember Kitty and Violet from junior high? My friends who sort of drifted away?”

“Sure,” Jess replied.

“I’ve seen them together, with the hubby. They’re a three-way since forever. Watching you have a great birthday won’t bother me. I’m sure the men will be worth watching. That’s what I’m into watching. So quit being a prude and let Andrew and I set this up. Blindfold and lots of condoms and lube. Any other requests?” She winked at Andrew.

“Sure, tie me down so I can’t change my mind.” She threw her hands up in the air.

“I was going to suggest that.” Andrew nodded to Stuart.

“Sounds good to me,” Stuart added.

If Stuart thought it was safe, it wouldn’t be that extreme…and Jess wasn’t a prude. Her brain argued, but her body liked the idea. “Back up a second. Being blindfolded you want some sense of security. How is Cassie safety? Four men. She’s no match for them if something goes weird.”

“They aren’t into force. These aren’t BDSM parties. Stop being paranoid.” Cassie used her stern voice.

“If Dom and you are there, to make sure it’s all safe. And it’s in your house. Fine.” Jess got busy cutting hair. She needed to focus on reality because what she’d just agreed to felt like someone else’s life.

“You’ll thank us later.” Andrew gave her a kiss on the cheek and followed Stuart into the back. No doubt, they were deciding whom to cast in Jess’ birthday orgy. The idea alone aroused her.

Once a Texan, always a Texan, and Brian Beaumont has come back home to open his high-end western-wear shop. Not everyone is thrilled with the gay son of a Texas millionaire opening a clothing store. Lucky for Brian, his new brother-in-law sends protection from Raider’s Bodyguard Service. If only Brian could resist the hunky muscled Texas native assigned to guard his body day and night.

Jones never wanted to go back to Texas. He left at eighteen for many reasons, but his career is more important than the demons of his past. Always a professional, he meets his match in the tempting Brian. The line between business and pleasure vanishes when their mutual love of sex, rope and power play takes over.

Excerpt :

The Western wear shop designed like an old saloon wasn’t yet open, but the flurry of activity made Brian smile. His dream was coming true, and in a couple weeks, the shop would open. Brian’s cell rang, and he grabbed it off the hardwood counter.

“Hey, Mrs. Raider,” he answered teasingly. His sister, Penny, had pulled off the biggest wedding in Texas history and jetted off to Hawaii with her bodyguard hubby, Grayson Raider.

“Stop it,” she replied.

He could hear the smile. “How’s that sex on the beach? Make sure you use sunscreen. You burn.”

“Brian, it’s my honeymoon. I’m not doing that on the beach. You’re terrible. How’s the shop?” she asked.

“Coming together. You didn’t have to come up for air to check on me.” Brian was so happy for his sister. The couple glowed with passion, and Penny marrying a Yankee had sent tidal waves through the family. The fact that it didn’t bother Penny at all told Brian it was forever.

“We’ll be back in time for the grand opening, but we’re sending you an early present.” Her voice was soft.

Brian knew it was more than a gift. “Present?”

“Dad mentioned you might have some issues. Protestors and stuff.”

“Please. It’s leather, boots and jackets. Pure Texas with a bit more class. They’re only going to protest because I’m gay and a Beaumont. It’s nothing. Ignoring it is best.” Brian had heard it already, and nothing would stop him.

“But you are high profile because of Dad’s money. Isn’t that the excuse you used when I went to Italy?” she replied.

“Oh no, you don’t. No, Penny, I’m not a sweet girl who needs a bodyguard.” Brain knew being gay meant he might as well being wearing a dress to a lot of his family, but Penny didn’t think that way. Brian worked out and could defend himself, but the gay label came first. Still he loved everything Texas, riding, roping and leather.

“Big tough movie stars use bodyguards. Grayson went to a lot of trouble to pick the right team.”

“Team?” Brian leaned on one of the pillars in the store. The rope to wind around them was still in a box. He had so much to do. “I don’t need men underfoot to get in the way.”

“Think about your employees, Brian. All the workers and delivery people. It’s not just you that could be hurt or scared. The bodyguards will keep things under control.” Penny made it sound so sensible and easy.

“Is this what I did to you?” he asked.

“Pretty much. And you drooled over Grayson. I won’t do that to Jones. Just take the help. Family perks from your new brother-in-law.”

“Is this Jones a Raider?” Brian knew how attractive those men were. That was another type of distraction he didn’t need.

“No, Jones is an employee from the L.A. branch. He’s dealt with this stuff before—all that gay marriage back and forth. It’ll be fine.” Penny sounded confident.

“This is Texas, not California,” Brian reminded her.

“Will you relax? He’s a professional. And when Grayson and I get back in for the opening, he’ll review the situation and decide what’s best. Now, I’ve got to get changed for the luau. Promise me you’ll play nice with Jones and let him do his job.”

“When is he arriving?” Brian asked.

“Promise me,” Penny pushed back.

The front door opened, and Brian looked up. A tall man with shoulders that took over the doorway stole Brian’s focus. Black hair, dark eyes, and muscles for days. Jeans and a gray T-shirt were filled out to perfection, but the black boots were the hottest part. Those told Brian that this guy knew style. Brian’s gaydar tingled.

“Fine, I promise to play nice. Gotta go. Work to do. You need to get back to making me a niece to spoil and style.”

“Brian!” Penny replied.

“Aloha.” Brian disconnected and turned to the new guy. “Can I help you?”

“Brian Beaumont?” His deep voice made Brian pray this was Jones.

“Guilty.” Brian smiled. “You are?”

“Jones Preston from Raiders. You’re expecting me?” He held out a hand.

“Just got the news from my sister.” Brian took his hand, and the spark made his shake a little too long. He pulled back and wiped his palm before his turned into a giggling idiot. “I’m still putting the place together. Not much for you to do.”

“Protection is all the time. My team is scouting the area. Interviewing other owners and making sure what we’re dealing with. Seeing if anyone will be trouble.” Jones looked around. “Nice set up.”

“Thanks. But really, I picked a gay friendly area. I can’t imagine there will be an issue. It’s the conservatives. My Dad runs in those circles. So it could be an issue there. Texas can be weird about things like that. My Dad is big; so odds are they won’t hurt me or anyone. It’s just a big show.”

“Let me worry about that.” Jones walked closer. “For the next two weeks, you let me worry about your safety and you listen to me. I’ve got your back, and I’m not putting up with any arguments or games.”

Brian could think of dozens of naughty games to play with a man so tightly wound. Jones oozed power and control. “I appreciate my brother-in-law’s concern. I’ll let you do your thing. But I’m not a damsel in distress. I grew up in Texas. I know what I’m dealing with. Not sure L.A. guys can handle it.” Brian leaned in with his hands on the counter and tightened his muscles to show off.

A barely noticeable tug at the corner of Jones’ mouth gave Brian a thrill. The man wasn’t all gloom and business.

“I’m sure you can defend yourself. These situations can get heated and tense. Protestors can turn crazy. You need more than muscle for that. You need a neutral party to calm things down.” Jones glanced at Brian’s nice sculpted arms.

“I’m not looking for trouble. It’s not like I opened a gay bar or dating service. Penny and I always loved fashion. I like leather and the Texas look. Being gay owned doesn’t make this a gay business. It’s not like my leather jackets are done in rainbow.” Brian took a deep breath. Part of him believed he’d found his place in the world. He knew what he wanted, but still he felt so alone. Was the world against him?

“I understand. Once you’re open and people are here for the merchandise, things will probably calm down. It’s the grand opening and the prep time…this is when you’re most vulnerable. Others are forming opinions without information. Anything can happen.”

The urge to keep arguing with the sexy man kept Brian’s mouth going. “But nothing has happened. No threats or protests.”

He’d only been in the space for a couple days.

Jones nodded. “Fair enough. But you’re barely started by the looks of it. Grayson said the lease began a day or so ago. Troublemakers take time to get followers. The classy ones are putting pressure on your dad to do something to stop you. Move you to L.A. or New York. It might be quiet. Or it could escalate. You have deliveries coming. Strangers will be in and out. Very vulnerable. One could slip in and plant a bomb.”

“A bomb?” Brian shivered at the idea. “Come on. Get real.”

“I am. With my guys watching, no one will get in and cause trouble. All strangers will be watched and names taken. It lets people know we’re paying attention so if someone tries something, we know who was in the shop. Just asking for identification is a deterrent.” Jones was confident and serious.

Brian relaxed. “That’s where you come in. Protecting my employees is important to me. They shouldn’t be in danger because of my personal life.”

“So you’ll let me do my job?” Jones asked.

“Not sure I ever had a choice.”

“It’s your shop. I can’t protect you without your cooperation,” Jones admitted.

“Met my sister?” Brian asked.

Jones shrugged. “No, got my orders from Grayson by phone.”

“My sister is a force of nature. She gets her way. You report I’m resisting, and I’ll never hear the end of it. But I’ll cooperate.” Brian studied Jones, wanting to flirt and cooperate naked, but the all business signals shut down Brian’s boy cruising. Clearly, Jones was serious about his work. “So how do you think you’re going to handle all the Texas stuff? I promise, this isn’t L.A.”

Jones smiled wide. “No, it sure isn’t. But I’ll manage.” The soft Texas drawl rolled off Jones’ tongue.

Dazzled, Brian wanted more of Jones and that magic tongue.

“You’re from Texas?” Brian asked.

Jones smiled. Brian recovered quickly, but Jones had thrown him off balance. Jones seemed at ease.

“I lived here until I was eighteen. As soon as I could, I left for a safer place.” Jones didn’t talk about his sexuality much. At least not at work. “L.A. is much safer.”

“Dallas isn’t bad in the city. I escaped to New York for college, but this is home. I’ve accepted it; now, they’ll accept me.”

“Like it or not?” Jones admired Brian’s courage and conviction.

That and his piercing green eyes. Brian’s brown hair was short and would pass any manly inspection. The lean muscled form also met with Jones’ approval. Brian could protect himself, but Jones knew his interest in Brian’s body was not at all professional. He’d avoided involvement with a client thus far, but the day had arrived. Jones was attracted to a client. To deny it was pointless, but Jones had to push it away. His job was far more important than a fling.

“Texas is home. I’m not running. I like my Uncle Lubby’s little ranch. I could ride and rope as well as any kid growing up. I bet you’re good with a rope.” Brian flirted.

“I do okay.” Jones wanted to give in. Back in L.A., if they’d met in a bar, they’d be making out by now. Jones would take him home, and after a night of great sex, they’d be over. But Jones valued his job. No way would he ruin his reputation.

“So you went to L.A. and became a bodyguard?” Brian prompted.

It was normal for people to want to know something about the person they’d let into their life to protect them. This was less flirt and more sanity. “I started as a bartender and then found I preferred the bouncer role. I got hired by some minor celebrities who wanted security.”

“The boy toy in a gay bar,” Brian teased.

“It was a gay bar, but I was hired for muscle, nothing more. This celebrity liked the biker types. Anyway, it got me other work, and discretion goes a long way in this business. I ended up at Raider’s.” Jones looked Brian in the eye. “So I know something about Texas and about being gay. Trust me, I’ll keep you safe.”

Brian nodded. “Thanks.”

Jones wanted to get closer. To feel the heat from Brian. He’d been single a long time. Random sex never gave Jones what he wanted, but most relationships never got as deep as the information he’d just shared with Brian.

Blurb:

In a small town, secrets are hard to keep. But when photojournalist, Cassie Hawks, comes home to Lucky Springs, no one says a word about what her neighbors have been up to while she’s been away. Noises next door draw her to peep on a sex party that enthralls her. The passion, the openness and the multicultural mix inspire and arouse her— the home owners most of all. The sexy Meriwether men tempt her into a private party, and she’s hooked. They willingly help her with her photography and keep her coming back for more. But can she stay put and get on board with their big sex parties?

Excerpt:

It was a cool evening, and Cassie threw open the windows of her small house. She’d only been back for two weeks, but Lucky Springs, Louisiana was home. While she enjoyed New Orleans for vacations, her work had taken her there far too many times in recent years.

First Katrina then the oil spill. Both brought photojournalists from all over. She needed a break from the outside world. Lucky Springs was small and filled with friends and family.

Her neighbors on one side were new. In her town, “new” meant in the last five years. Old Roscoe Meriwether had passed away, and his sons, Dominic, Hamilton and Montgomery had moved in. Some thought they would only settle the estate, but they’d opened a business and stayed. There was a fourth man, Alex, she knew from elementary school. Cassie had met all of those attractive men over the years, but one left an intense impression.

Mrs. Jenkins, the neighbor on her other side, informed Cassie that those Meriwether boys had kept Cassie’s yard spotless. Cassie owed them a thank you and a homemade pie. Tomorrow, she’d venture over and be neighborly. No doubt, she should’ve done it sooner.

Her elderly Cajun neighbor could be counted on to have all the gossip and updates including details about the three sexy black men she called “those Meriwether boys”. Cassie was curious, but in a small town she needed the update.

It’d been a long time since Cassie had enjoyed anything like a personal life. Traveling around made it hard to enjoy more than a fling here and there. She was determined to take a break and reconnect with friends and family. There were men here, most of whom she’d known all her life and most of whom didn’t go for career girls who traveled around the world. The small town had a big factory on one end and lots of farms on the other.

Looking out the window, she could see the lights from the Meriwether place in the dark night. They had a big lot while her home used to be a guesthouse on Mrs. Jenkins’ property. Mrs. Jenkins had kept most of the land, and Cassie had a cozy place with low upkeep.

The wind whispered along the houses, and odd moans traveled along from the Meriwether place. Moans and shouts. What were those men up to? Three were related, but Alex was involved with Monty. Hot but gay, that still left two sexy straight men around— all were good to look at.

Curiosity and lack of sex got the better of her. Cassie put on a robe and shoved her feet into old hiking boots by the door before she slipped out into the night. The walk was longer than she’d remembered, but the men had planted lovely additions to the backyard.

The big, screened-in porch was void of people, but a couple of windows were open, letting out the sounds of sex. Quietly, Cassie slipped into the screened area and crouched by an open window. Peering in, she quickly ducked down.

Blinking deliberately, she looked in again. There had to be twenty people, maybe more if the group extended to the front of the house. She’d seen a lot of things in her work. Blood, death, nudity and tears didn’t shock her when viewed through a camera lens. But up close and in her home town, right next door— this shocked her. It could only be called a sex party. An orgy on her own street?

Lucky Springs Book Two comes out in April....you can preview the cover, and March's release on the coming soon page.

Tonight's Glee

2011-02-15T18:01:00.000-08:00

Tonight's Glee officially sucked! I have no idea what happened but the whole thing flopped for me. Sue's insults were good as ever and a nice twist with Sue coaching an opposing team...b ot that's about ten minutes of the hour.

But the songs were ick and the drama is dull. I can watch a soap opera.

Next week's must be better!!! My happy hour wasn't so happy this week!

Double the Glee!

2011-02-12T09:36:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I didn't care about the super bowl but I loved the episode of Glee after it:) Sue is back to being her evil self...

And another new episode made it the best TV week ever!! Kurt is so cute...I hope they get that story line moving. It's been stalling slow. In a book the reader would be getting bored already:) But it's TV so they can stretch it out and break into a musical number.

I'm also enjoying Raising Hope after Glee. We'll see if it lasts and stays great. But Glee is still fun. As long Katy Perry keeps writing good songs, they've got plenty to sing...

the weekend is here! so many errands, and I still haven't watched Bones in my DVR...

I know sitcoms have fallen out a lot in TV but I'm glad to see some are still out there.

Now retired at 35...which follows Hot In Cleveland over on TVLand....that show leaves me mixed. the premise is cute but I'm so jealous. i'd LOVE to quit my job and write full time while living off my parents retirement. but my parents aren't retired yet....so I guess I'll keep my day job.

M/M/M Ménage Shifter Erotic Romance

http://www.resplendencepublishing.com/m8/273-201-118-469-4--taken-by-the-pack-by-cheryl-dragon.html

Blurb:

Danny loves Alaska, but it doesn’t seem to love him back. The full Wolf Moon sparkles over Fairbanks, but he’s alone for those long nights. He wants to come out of the closet and date, but his frail family might implode. All he wants is the right man in his bed.

Brandon and Justin are lovers and wolf shifters native to Alaska. They’re out to protect their way of life, and sometimes that means extreme measures. When Danny’s brother proposes aerial wolf hunting, Danny enters their sights. Danny was the closet case in high school, and now, he’ll be their sex toy. The shifter pair is ready to do whatever it takes to stop the hunting and maybe add a sexy human man to their pack.

Excerpt

Danny hated hunting. For a long time, he’d actually believed he hated his native Alaska. But looking up at the moon over Fairbanks, the full Wolf Moon, glowing at four in the afternoon. He felt as if he were ten years old again and full of wonder at the magical place few people would experience.

The loss of sunshine bothered many, but with enough activities and happy lights, they made it through. Hiking through the snow with his oldest brother Frank, Danny missed his college days in the lower forty-eight. There, he could be himself fully. Moving back to Alaska had been very hard, but there had been no choice when his dad had gotten sick. His family was close and they needed him.

Sometimes, he felt his family was too close. Fairbanks was a large city but also tight-knit. His being gay would shock his family and send ripples through the circles in which they ran. He was the one they all turned to when things went wrong. He was the good one. The youngest who was always there when needed.

“Where the hell are you, Danny?” His brother snapped his fingers. “Damn. A juicy kill could walk right out in front of you and you’d miss it.”

“Hunting isn’t my thing,” Danny said.

“You do great at target practice. Always have. Good thing you’re a pilot and not a hunter.” He looked around. “Fine. I don’t smell anything. No luck today. I’m heading home. Think about the business idea I mentioned. With your helicopter skills and my hunting skills, we’d be a hell of a team.”

Danny sighed. “Okay, I’ll think on it. See you Sunday.” His sister-in-law had taken over the Sunday dinners with Mom busy looking after Dad. Even with Dad recovering, more things changed. As much as Danny loved his family, he felt alone in a crowd. They didn’t know the real him. Maybe he’d never get up the courage. Not that they’d believe him anyway. All the men in his family were the same. They charmed women and hunted animals with big muscles and macho attitude. Danny looked the part, but he didn’t go after animals or women.

After hiking over a mile or so, Danny arrived back at his house on the edge of the woods. The exercise felt good, but his big brother’s idea left him flat. Aerial hunting? It was big business but hardly sporting. Where was the challenge? It would be like those lavish wildlife hunting grounds where they fed the animals so they trusted people then trotted them out for rich guys to hunt. No tracking or skill involved. Wolf hunting, what his brother meant to do from the air, wasn’t even for food. Feeding a family was one thing; hunting only to kill was another.

Luckily, Danny had skills and an education. Pilots were always in demand—especially in Alaska. Bush pilots were good. He could fly small planes, but helicopters were his specialty. He was the pilot on the medical crew for Fairbanks Medical Centers. Getting in and out of impossible places to rescue people and get them to the hospital was a challenge. The adrenaline rush kept him going but offered no personal life.

Flying was his love. But now his brother wanted him to use that skill to make money off hunting and tourists. Danny wasn’t interested, but it was family.

Frank would be doing the hunting part. Danny just had to fly. His brother had been out of work for over a year and struggled to make ends meet. The whole family helped as much as they could. A mortgage, two kids and no work was hard to deal with. If they didn’t have a freezer full of Caribou meat from a recent, flash-frozen road kill, Danny would feel even more pressure to help.

He paused and surveyed the back of his property. Normally, there were plenty of animals around. Even when he hiked, he’d see a moose, jack rabbits, a fox, a wolf or two. He didn’t bother them, and they generally ignored the human. Now, there was nothing.

Danny knew that meant something more dangerous was around. He looked around more carefully. The snow on the ridge didn’t look avalanche prone. He didn’t smell any fire in the air. Possibly a bear had moved through and flushed all the other animals away. He shrugged it off. He was only yards from his back door. A nice cozy fire, a little gay porn and he’d feel a lot better.

The gay scene in Fairbanks was decent enough, if you dared to be “out”. But there was no going back. Once you entered, word got around and everyone knew.

Danny was ashamed to be in the closet. It felt so complicated. He hated living in fear of his family finding out he was gay. He could hear his brothers now. “How could you do that? And with Dad sick? Mom doesn’t need this stress. You need to get over this phase and get yourself a girlfriend!”

As the youngest, Danny felt as if he had to go along with the majority to keep the peace. Illness and joblessness plagued members of his family. He was healthy and employed. He had no right to complain or burden his family further. Maybe, someday, the time would be right. If only his sister-in-law would stop trying to set him up with women. A good wife and mother, Christy tried to arrange Danny’s life since he was the single one left. His brother needed her type of pushing to keep him in line and his life in order.

Danny didn’t. He just got lost in dreams of his past, being back in college where he was at ease with himself and free to date men. Now, he hid away in his house and lost himself in fantasies of being sandwiched between two hard men. Nicknamed the lumberjack because he was from Alaska, Danny had been very popular in college. A very manly man with a big axe. Currently, the only one admiring his tool was Danny himself.

Kicking the snow off his boots, he heard a rustling in the trees. Maybe the animals were returning? He wasn’t a hunter, but on a quiet evening, he could sit on the back porch on his house and watch the wilderness for hours. Nature proved very soothing when it was calm. Those periods were rare and things could turned dangerous is seconds.

Danny never wanted to hunt but felt naked without a rifle in the woods. One couldn’t underestimate Mother Nature. Not here and not with that big full moon looming over the day.

He turned the doorknob and heard a growl. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted two wolves staring him down. Big ones. The pair were both large males. One nearly black and one a lighter gray.

Instantly, Danny froze. Warning shot or dart inside? It was a close call. The wolves could lunge the distance and attack before he got inside. But turning to shoot left him vulnerable, and with his hands occupied, one could get to him. He couldn’t shoot them both. They watched his every move, so going slow would only provoke them.

Yanking open the door, he darted inside. The thud on his back was a wolf knocking him to the ground. Danny felt the adrenaline kick in. Its front paws held his shoulders as the canine bit at the back padding of Danny’s jacket.

Danny was reaching for the knife on his ankle when the other wolf pounced on him. Claws pressed to his lower back. Wolves tore their prey apart, living or dead. He’d be dead in seconds.

With all his muscle, Danny managed to turn over and made a last grab for the gun. But the wolves jumped on him. The animals were dominant, but this wasn’t normal behavior. They should be tearing him to shreds by now.

The wolves were a blur of black and gray fur then he was dragged into the house. He blinked as they kept going until he was on his bed. The house looked normal, but the wolves were changing before his eyes. Now, the pair were naked men. Hot, naked men and Danny knew them.

If he’d been drinking, he would’ve sworn his brother had made a bad batch of Alaskan moonshine. But they never drank while hunting. Danny was totally sober. It felt like a dream with two men lying on him, but it wasn’t. He knew them, Brandon and Justin. They’d been in his dreams, but he’d never fanaticized about wolves. It’d been so long, he wanted to just give in and enjoy the hallucination.

One of them got up, slammed the door closed and looked around. “We need to talk,” Justin said.

The other guy pressed to Danny and grinned. “Relax, Danny, we’re going to be here a while.”

///
“I think he remembers us.” Brandon tugged open Danny’s shirt.

Justin checked all the doors and windows then returned to the bedroom. He didn’t relish going to extremes, but sometimes there was no alternative. From the erection tenting Danny’s jeans, Justin believed they’d all enjoy his plan. But he knew Danny was stubborn. All this time back home and he was still in the closet.

“He remembers us,” Justin confirmed and untied Danny’s shoelaces. “I think he wants to be naked with us.”

Brandon yanked the coat and shirt off Danny as Justin removed the boots. But when Brandon reached for Danny’s fly, Danny pushed back.

“Wait! What the hell?” Danny sat up. “What just happened? I got attacked by wolves not men.”

Justin smiled. “You weren’t attacked. Not a scratch on you. You’ve been kidnapped.”

“In my own house?” Danny rubbed his eyes. “Maybe I hit my head on the porch. It’s just a dream. I passed out or something.”

“I bet you’ve been dreaming about us since freshmen year of high school.” Brandon rubbed Danny’s cock.

Danny shoved Brandon off the bed.

“No, no. Play nice, or you’ll have a lot less fun than we planned. We don’t want to tie you up. Unless you like it that way.” Justin grabbed Danny by the arm and twisted.

Danny grimaced in pain. “Okay. So it’s not a dream.”

“Glad we’re clear on that point.” Justin released him. “You didn’t hit your head. You’re not hallucinating. We’re shifters. Wolf shifters.”

Danny laughed. “Please. This is a joke. Or a trick. You trained some wolves or something.”

Sitting back on the bed, Brandon leaned over and kissed Danny’s chest. Then he shifted to wolf form.

Danny shook his head and rubbed his eyes as he stared at the wolf on his chest. The claws dug. The panic in Danny’s eyes turned to wonder. When Danny reached out to pet Brandon, Justin knew the shock was over.

Shifting back to human, Brandon lunged and kissed Danny’s lips before he could avoid it. One hand was on Danny’s straining erection as their mouths fused.

Justin’s cock reacted to the view. He’d wanted Danny since high school, but there had been no chance then. Danny’s stubbornness and loyalty ran him to denial. Apparently, he’d accepted himself while away at college.

“What the hell?” Danny pulled away. “I thought you two were a couple. You dated in high school.”

“We are a couple. That doesn’t mean we don’t like fresh meat now and then. We’ve got a thing for humans.” Brandon winked at Justin.

“So you’re going to rape me then eat me?” Danny started to look for an escape.

Justin and Brandon laughed.

“Rape?” Justin pulled open Danny’s fly. “With your cock begging for attention? You wanted us in high school. I don’t think we’ll have to force you to do anything.”

“But we will for fun.” Brandon walked across the room to Danny’s big television and DVD player. He looked through the drawers.

“Stop it. What are you doing?” Danny protested.

“Relax. We aren’t going to eat you. We rarely need to consume food in wolf form. Then it’s usually just small game for the blood and the chase. You’ll live through this.” Justin opened Danny’s belt and freed the button, then he took off Danny’s jeans completely.

“Found it.” Brandon returned to the bed with a stack of DVDs, all man-on-man porn. He opened the nightstand. “Lube, magazines and a toy.”

“I don’t get it. This is a forced outing?” Fear filled Danny’s eyes. “You can’t. My family. They won’t understand. They can’t handle it now.”

Justin tugged the warm wool socks off Danny’s feet. “We’re not outing you, so long as you play nice and give us everything we want.” The plot had gone perfectly so far. Danny wanted them anyway. A little blackmail and they’d all be happy.

“I won’t have to suck wolf dick, will I?” Danny tensed.

Brandon leaned over him with a grin. “You’ll suck or fuck whatever we tell you to. And believe me, we’ll take some pictures for proof. Call it insurance.”

“Find his cell and take pictures of the porn with him. Email it home.” Justin had no desire to expose Danny, but they needed the leverage. And Justin knew once the sex and the real push for what they wanted came out, he’d need real evidence already in the bag.

Brandon grabbed the cell from Danny’s jeans pocket and scrolled through the existing pictures. “No need. I’ll just forward these pictures. Danny you were wild in college. You should lock you phone so no one finds them.” Brandon turned the screen so Justin could see it.

The picture clearly showed Danny smiling as he licked a set of balls on one cock while holding another in his hand. It was even date stamped. “You’re making this so easy on us. Thanks!”

“Don’t!” Danny made a grab for it.

“Oops. I just sent it to your entire contact list.” Brandon held it out of reach. “Let’s see what else you have.”

“No, you didn’t. You jerk!” Danny rushed Brandon and knocked him to the floor.

“Oh nice. Hot young men. College. We really should’ve gone.” Brandon let Danny get his phone back.

Justin shrugged it off. “To be a tattoo artist like your dad and work in his shop, you didn’t need college. And I got my job at the tourism bureau without it. They sent me to some seminars. Danny just needed to get away. Far away so he could suck dick and kiss men.” Justin walked to them and stood over the pair. “So you have experience with more than one man at a time?”

“You didn’t send it to everyone. Thank God!” Danny punched buttons on his phone. “It’s locked now.”

“We have what we need. Proof of your preference is in our email. Now, you can’t say we forced you or it was your first time.”

Brandon chuckled. “Yeah, you’re smiling way too hard in this picture, Danny!”

“Must be hard to be back in the closet.” Justin ran his fingers through Danny’s black hair. “All the porn in the world isn’t the same.” He guided Danny to his knees.

“You’re blackmailing me for sex? You two can go to the Pipeline and get all the ass you want. Probably an orgy in the backroom.” Danny pulled back.

Justin leaned down and kissed Brandon then he kissed Danny. “If you want to go that far back in the Pipeline, we’ll take you. I bet you were popular in college. This must be hell. Frozen hell. Don’t worry about why we do what we do. You do what we want, whatever we want, until we decide to let you go. Or we’ll put that picture up at the Pipeline and on every gay guy’s phone in

Alaska. I don’t need to send it to your brother for the family to find out.”

“You’ll be so popular!” Brandon gripped Danny’s cock and stroked it to tease him.

Danny groaned.

“We don’t need to blackmail you to fuck you. That’s pretty damn obvious. So you just enjoy us for now. You’re our charity case.” Justin couldn’t continue it for long. Brandon was man hungry. Every member of his family was a shifter, and during the full moon, he needed to hunt, to fuck in either form and to live wildly.

Blurb:

For Laura, dating Craig, an air force pilot, has been nothing but great. Bonding with Craig’s three housemates who served with him has been an experience in military closeness and deep admiration for men in uniform. The news that they’ve shared everything, including women, is arousing and a bit of a challenge. And Laura wants to take it on. The guys ease her into action, and soon, she can’t imagine life any other way….even if one of the guys is a bit reserved with her. But Laura's biggest adjustment will be to their weird work schedule. Three months on duty and three months on her!

Excerpt:

Some days, Laura swore she was dating four men instead of one. When she’d met Craig, all stunning in his Air Force uniform, she’d had no clue he was a package deal. It was movie night, and she hung out in the living room with them.

“Anyone want more pizza?” Craig asked.

Craig lived with three other Air Force pilots who had served together in Iraq. The more time she spent in their Cape Cod house, the more she learned. They’d saved each other’s lives, shared everything and kept each other sane. The idea of any of them in danger made her anxious. They were all great guys.

“We should’ve gotten Chinese,” she replied. After almost three months of dating him, she spent most of her time at their house rather than her apartment. Four sexy men, who wouldn’t want that eye candy around? And at night, Craig kept her coming back for more and coming loud.

Sitting on the couch, watching a movie with all four, she wondered why Craig encouraged her to be loud in bed. It seemed insensitive to his pals. Still, there was no reason to rub in that he had a sex life. The others were single.

Nick sat on the loveseat and was openly bisexual. He was on the shorter side for a military guy but with dark hair, lots of muscle to admire and eyes that never missed a thing. Nick talked about sexy men with

Laura, but she’d caught him eying her breasts like the rest of them. “Yeah, bet I can swallow an eggroll deeper,” he challenged her.

Laura glared at him and grinned. “I bet you can.”

Craig was on one side of her, a tall, brown-haired, blue-eyed muscle man she leaned on. On the other side of her, Sean played “remote commando”. He was blond with green eyes and lean muscles. He was the guy in the house who flirted with her the most outside of Craig. She knew he’d been through a bad breakup just before she’d started dating Craig, and she suspected he was just lonely for a woman.

Roger sat on the loveseat with Nick, a bowl of popcorn between them. Tall and lean, he said the most with his silence. With rust-brown hair and hazel eyes, Roger had a couple of years on Craig and the others and was the most withdrawn, but he treated her like a lady. Laura guessed he’d had it rough overseas. Craig told her Roger was the rock who kept the younger guys in line and focused. They tended not to talk about the danger they faced in those days, but she sensed it.

Snuggling closer to Craig, the testosterone fog enveloped her. Four men made the masculine feel of the house palpable. But she was so grateful to the other three that Craig was here to be with her. She loved them all. Knowing them for three months now, she truly liked them. They were so different yet they got along.

Still it was hard not to be able to crawl into Craig’s lap and screw him or just get naked and suck him off. The idea of the other men watching added a thrill. But she and Craig only did stuff in the bedroom when they were alone.

She broke the silence. “You’re all really going away for three months?”

The prospect of being alone that long didn’t thrill her, but it made her more aware and appreciative of every minute they had together…intimate or otherwise. Maybe that was what added to her sex drive?

“That’s the schedule. Get used to it.” Sean yawned.

Craig had been upfront about it when they’d started dating, but now, it was here.

“You’re going to miss us?” Nick teased.

“She’ll miss Craig. No one will miss you!” Roger grabbed some cheese popcorn from the bowl between them and pelted Nick with a few pieces.

Laura grinned. They were so close. At times, it felt like they were brothers, but she knew the military service bond was deeper.

“I’ll miss all of you. I feel like I live here sometimes. I’m not in the way of bonding time, am I?” She glanced at Nick, Roger and Sean then to Craig.

“Hell no. It’s good to have someone pretty to look at around here.” Sean tickled her toes. “If you two want private time, just go. Or kick us out.”

“I have an apartment; I just like it here. It’s a real house.” Since grad school, she’d moved around, college to college, until she’d found the right professor position with tenure track. “And I grew up with all girls so it’s nice to have some men around.”

“Your dad bailed?” Roger asked.

Laura realized Craig hadn’t told them her background. And she’d never gone into it with them. “He was a truck driver, long hauls. Nothing tragic, but with three sisters and a mom all needing attention, it was hard. He worked a lot. I was the independent one who took care of myself.”

“It’ll be déjà vu when we all leave.” Nick threw popcorn at Roger.

“I’m an adult now. I can entertain myself. Work and plenty of friends. I’ll live.” She picked the most buttered piece of popcorn from the bowl she shared with Craig and Sean.

“Ms. Independent.” Craig kissed her softly.

“Not like that needy bitch Sean tried to date.” Nick frowned.

“What? She couldn’t handle three months alone?” Laura asked.

Sean sighed and shot Nick a dirty look. “No, she couldn’t deal with the idea of it. I told her when we were dating for a week.”

“Honest is good.” Laura patted Sean’s shoulder. “It does take some getting used to for people who have normal routines.”

“I told her. She met the guys, said she liked them. We dated. I reminded her when I was going. She said fine.”

“Denial,” Roger said.

“Bingo. She said she had a wedding to go to on the weekend after I left. She flipped when she realized I couldn’t go.”

“Flipped!” Nick nodded. “Here at the house in front of all of us.”

Sean looked down. “We broke up.”

“I’m sorry.” Laura shook her head. “I have a sister like that. The baby. She wanted all the attention from everyone. It was on her terms, or she wasn’t happy.”

“Did she grow out of it?” Craig asked.

“No, she married a guy who was an only child so she got all of his attention and his family’s attention. People find the right match eventually.” She hugged Craig. She’d found her match. Laura loved how Craig could be playful in bed and go off to fly military aircraft.

“You don’t need to worry about the house. Our neighbors will look in on it. That’s normally what we do.” Roger had a leadership streak, and he focused on business. Craig had told her Roger had been divorced in his mid-twenties. He seemed in no hurry to marry again.

“I don’t mind. It’s on the way to work. If the weather gets bad, I can always sleep here.” Then she rethought it. “But I don’t want to be pushy. If your neighbors already have a key…”

“No, come by. You practically live here anyway.” Nick shot Roger a scolding look. “If you don’t mind.”

“Fine by me.” Roger shrugged.

Roger had always been the most cautious about her. Maybe his ex had left him for a younger man or a woman? He didn’t trust women. Laura decided to change the subject. “So Sean. How old was this girl you dumped?” Laura asked.

“Twenty-two.” Sean munched a handful of popcorn. “Why?”

“Too young. For college kids, the world revolves around them.”

“She’d graduated.”

“Still too young. You’re twenty-seven. You need an adult.” Laura licked butter off her fingers. She worked with college kids, maturity and trust made all the difference in a relationship.

“Go for an older woman like I did.” Craig said.

Laura slapped his knee. “I’m twenty-eight. You don’t call me old!”

“Older.” Craig emphasized. “Roger is thirty-four, he’s old.”

“I can still kick your ass.” Roger never seemed to get ruffled. “But I won’t because you need to report to work in less than a week.”

The tough talk made Laura’s skin tingle. “As long as Craig isn’t planning any more overseas tours.” She kissed his shoulder.

“No, I’ve done my time.” Craig wrapped his arm tight around her. “I’ve got other plans.”

She let Craig’s attention sink into her. Soon she’d be missing him, but he’d be back and, she’d enjoy the emotional high of the reunion.

“Well, my ex liked when I was deployed for over a year, both times. She got to cheat. That’s why I stick with the military pals now. They don’t screw your girl behind your back.” Roger got up. “I’m off to bed.”

“True. If a military man is going to take your woman, at least, they let you watch. They’d want you to know about it.” Sean shut off the movie no one was watching.

Laura frowned. The party was breaking up, and asking about the sexual games these guys played in the military didn’t feel right. Nick cleaned up the cheese popcorn. Roger finished his usual door and window check before setting the alarm. Craig and Laura handled the buttered popcorn. Once things were clean, they headed up to bed.

A Raider's Bodyguard Tale

Blurb:

Going to Italy with a sexy man should be hot but for Penny it’s all business. The plus sized designer of plus sized fashions met Grayson Raider at her best friend’s wedding, and now, he’s her bodyguard. While she doesn’t expect trouble, Penny’s rich Texas family is overprotective. She has no reason to protest—Grayson makes her feel safe and beautiful.

Grayson knew the moment he met Penny that she was the challenge he’d been looking for. Confident in her work, Penny needs to let him lead in the bedroom. His Dom side enjoys giving her pleasure and pushing her limits. Being tied up naked by a man she's paying to protect her is hot enough, but when he starts using mirrors and fashion to drive her crazy, he might just push Penny right out of her comfort zone.

Excerpt:

Shame the devil, tell the truth. That was a phrase Penny Beaumont had been raised on. The words echoed in her mind as she reviewed her packing for her first international trip. The truth was she’d always been overweight. Everyone had a truth, and that was hers. Her brother Brian was gay. Her baby sister was skinny, blonde and a perfect southern lady. Their daddy was a Texas millionaire and their grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher from Baton Rouge.

All the Beaumont women were good, old-fashioned, southern ladies who did charity work, raised children and kept a perfect home. They didn’t drink, didn’t smoke and didn’t drive, but her mother was the rebel—she drove her own car. International travel was a new world for Penny.

Today, Penny had a flight to Milan to show her plus-size fashions to the European market. Her American debut had been a success, but this was more pressure. She sat on the bed and looked at her brother. “I should cancel. It’s a mistake.”

Brian hugged her. “It’ll be fine. You’ll be a hit. They invited you.”

“It’s probably all a joke. Europeans think all Americans are fat, and it’ll be a big tabloid story.”

“Stop it. This isn’t high school. You need to clear away the bad thoughts. You’ve worked so hard, and it’s amazing stuff. It’s Milan, Mecca of fashion. And you can’t tell me that there aren’t any plus-size Italian women.”

She rolled her eyes. “I’ve never traveled outside the US. Dad freaked when I bought a foreign car.”

“He’s so old school they hadn’t invented chalk. He sheltered the girls and I had to fight my own battles. That’s not doing anyone any favors. Between the extreme religion on mom’s side, dad’s money and my being the most popular gay grad student in New York, you have every right to be confused. Just do your thing and be yourself. You’re not backing down after all that work. I’m just glad Andrea talked you into a bodyguard.”

“It’s so unnecessary and over the top. No one is stalking me. But she’s right. After what happened to her cousin, I’m not taking any chances.” Brian and Andrea, Penny’s best friend since college, both thought it was a good idea, and Penny trusted their judgment. “At least, I’ve met the guy. I do feel safe with him.”

“A hard-bodied bodyguard?” Brian teased. “Hot?”

“Sorry, he’s straight. Met him at Andrea and Jake’s Vegas elopement.” She knew her brother was always on the lookout for a new guy. Brian would be drooling soon. Grayson was unbearably hot, strong, and quiet. When they’d met as best man and maid of honor, his touch had sparked everything in her. That man had a way of looking right through her. It had been an intense experience for her. She wondered if he’d even remember her. Hot men tended to forget the big girls. But this was a professional arrangement, not a date.

Brian flopped on the bed. “For shame, Penelope. Vegas! Did you drink?” He imitated their easily offended grandfather.

“Yes,” she confessed.

He propped his hands on his hips. “Did you gamble?”

“Yes.” She smiled.

Brian got nose-to-nose with her. “Did you dance with the sexy hunk?”

“No.” Penny told the truth. Her brother knew what it meant to be different. He was the only one in the family who didn’t make her feel as if she didn’t fit. During his brief stint as a drag queen, she’d made his gowns. It had helped set her on her current career path. Before that Penny had only designed for herself. All the queens had admired her work, even though Brian wasn’t very good on stage. He found being the hot, young, southern guy got him more men while others performed.

“No dancing? It was a wedding.” He nudged her.

“They eloped. It was a five minute wedding and dinner at a steakhouse that rotated. The view was lovely.”

The doorbell to her condo rang.

“Got it.” Brian jumped up.

She knew he wanted a good look at the bodyguard. He opened the door and sighed. “That view is more than lovely.”

Penny marched up to rescue Grayson. “Sorry, my brother is a bit comical at times. I was telling him about the view of Vegas from the restaurant.” She opened the door wider.

“Beautiful.” Grayson’s eyes stayed fixed on her.

Brian brushed her elbow with his, but Penny ignored him. Grayson, technically Jake’s stepbrother, was thirty-one and tall with jet black hair and pale blue eyes. All muscled body and calm demeanor. Grayson had turned Penny on from the start. She really didn’t need Brian adding to it. A tiny part of her didn’t want Grayson along to Milan. She didn’t need the distraction or the rejection.

Still, she’d agreed to a bodyguard. She’d lived in Texas until college then made a bold move to the east coast and met Andrea. Penny wasn’t well traveled by any interpretation.

Her manners finally kicked in. “Grayson, this is my brother Brian. Brian, my jailer for the week, poor man, Grayson. Come in, please.”

“He can frisk me any time.” Brian could flirt with a lamppost when the mood struck him. It annoyed Penny how well he’d played it straight for so long. But Brian loved Texas from horses to roping. He just wasn’t meant for the small towns where being a gay man could be dangerous.

Penny wished she could be as confident as Brian. But flirting was way out of her skill set.

“Be nice, Brian.” She turned to check her home. This distance from Grayson let her think and breathe. She handed Brian the keys. “No wild parties.”

“Me? No way.” He gave her a peck on the cheek and turned to Grayson. “Anything happens to her…”

“Brian, it’s his job. He knows what he’s doing.” Penny hated being the center of attention. It was always uncomfortable. “No need to make a fuss.”

Grayson held out a hand. “It’s fine. Nothing to worry about.”

Brian shook his hand and gave Penny a wink.

The driver saved her by stepping into the doorway. “Ready, Ms. Beaumont?”

“Yes. All this luggage please and his.” She pointed toward her large pile of bags then turned to her bodyguard. “Passport, identification, ticket and everything?”

“All set.” They headed out. “You’re very organized.”

“Yes. Especially with new endeavors.” She shrugged as they boarded the elevator. Alone with him she felt self-conscious. His calm confidence was something she envied. Like a dog that seemed nice but was guarding something he’d kill for. It also made her very aware of him. “I’m sorry to drag you to Italy. Having a bodyguard makes everyone more at ease, but I really don’t think there is anything to worry about.”

“Those jobs are the best. But normally, they don’t ask me to pose as a model. I’m not qualified.”

Not qualified? He was sexy and tall. The idea of him without a shirt or modeling briefs made her wet. But he only had to wear a tux. “Don’t worry. The rest of the models are women. It’s just the finale. It’s a gown and it doesn’t look right without an escort. Brian volunteered, but he has finals. Plus I don’t want people to think I’m paranoid so it’s a good excuse.”

“I’ll be discreet. Security is important. Ask Andrea’s cousin.” He waited until she was settled in the limo before he joined her. No fuss, no hurry. She liked him.

“I know. Poor Denise. That’s part of why Brian was so insistent. I don’t have a current boyfriend or any ex-boyfriends who are stalkers. No one in Italy knows my family. They certainly don’t care that my father has a little Texas money.”

“More than a little from what I found.”

She looked at him. “You did your homework.”

“Part of the job.”

Job. Right, she was a job. “You’ve been highly recommended. I’m sorry to drag you way from your family and girlfriend.” He was being nice because he was a professional. She couldn’t let her imagination run wild. At the wedding, he’d been very enthusiastic about Jake and Andrea and, all the time, very considerate and kind to Penny. He probably was a genuinely nice guy, but he could have any woman. Half her size or less. Trish, her little sister, for instance. Penny was so grateful not to have her sister around right now. No one would notice Penny with Trish in the room. Certainly no man ever did. But in Milan, there would be much steeper competition.

Grayson could have anyone. Penny would have to lock him up to have him to herself. Or pay him. Both of which weren’t things she’d consider. If a man didn’t want her, she didn’t need him. That was Brian’s motto. Penny generally was single and had grown used to it. She needed to put Grayson out of her mind.

He’d said something and she’d missed it with all her mental lecturing.

“I’m sorry?” she replied.

“I said you’re not taking me away from anyone. I don’t have a girlfriend. Still looking for the right challenge.”

The word gave her a chill. Challenge? It had to be a joke. “Challenge? You sound like my Uncle Lubby trying to decide which horse to break.”

“Not break. Set free. But you can’t ride and love a truly wild horse. If it doesn’t trust you, it can’t feel safe that you’ll feed and take care of it.”

“Oh please. Have you ever ridden a horse in your life?” He filled out his jeans, a T-shirt, and sport coat well, but he wasn’t a southern type. “You’ve got New York City written all over you. Men want skinny and pretty, not a challenge. Believe me, I’ve been a challenging woman all my life and men don’t like it. Ask any of the men in my family.”

He shifted to look at her. “They clearly aren’t the right type of men. Not for you.”

What type of man did he think was right for her? Penny knew this plane ride would be torture. The smell of him, the way he made her feel, and that intensity he projected made her long for her bedroom and toys. He’d be in her fantasies for months.

Blurb:

Call it a compliment. Call it offensive. The whistles and shouts of hot, young construction workers have become Catherine’s latest sexual obsession. To protect her professional reputation, Catherine uses a service to fulfill her blue-collar fantasy and the two men hired for the job, complete with hard hats and hard-ons, do it just right. Problem solved—or so she thought.

One fantasy isn’t enough for Tony. Catherine failed to recognize him as part of the crew who remodeled her office. After the best sex of his life, he wants more—their combined fantasies with no services, no secrets. Anywhere, anytime and anything she wants, if she can handle a little reality in her fantasy life.

Excerpt

Walking back to her office building with her lunch, Catherine enjoyed the warm summer sun. New York had fabulous weather today and she ignored the noisy traffic and construction. Luckily she wasn’t walking with a judge or legal colleague. It was inevitable.

The hooting and whistling from the construction workers began as soon as she was in sight and continued after she’d passed by. Catherine had worked hard to make partner at the prestigious old law firm Archibald and Whitney. At forty-four she’d achieved her career goals and wasn’t about to let harassing men keep her from a nice day. Still, she’d learned not to conduct any work walking by construction workers.

She simply pressed her lips together and looked away. Ice queen, an unoriginal nickname around the firm, but she took pride in it. The only female partner, she hadn’t slept her way to the top. She’d won her cases and worked hard. Professional was professional and anything personal remained completely separate. When in doubt, she did what a man would do and beat them at their own game.

When she entered the building, Catherine relaxed a bit. Once in her thirtieth floor office, she felt in charge again. The dark wood and marble desk, the huge windows and the legal admins who feared her…this was her element.

Still the dirty comments of sweaty and muscled men hung in her mind. Her body reacted completely opposite to her mind. The tingling of arousal had to be ignored in favor of work.

Unwrapping her sandwich, Catherine spotted her admin peeking in the slightly open door. Catherine waved Sara in. “It’s beautiful outside. Go get some air.” The only downside of her office was the huge windows didn’t open.

“I need to study. Maybe I should try it outside?” The pretty young woman smiled. “Here are your messages.”

“Thanks. I’m not sure you’d get any actual studying down with those construction workers. I don’t know what they think will happen, making all that noise.”

“You let them get to you. Just smile, put your ear buds in and act like you can’t hear them. They do it for the reaction.” Sara shrugged.

"They’re not children.” Catherine wanted to be outraged but the image of many of them, shirtless but for the bright safety vests, wet her sexual appetite. The hard hats. The sunglasses. The muscles.

“Catherine? Hello?” Sara snapped her fingers. “You okay? Maybe you got too much sun. You work too hard. Take half a day off.”

Shaking off the fantasy, Catherine bit into her sandwich. “I’m fine. It’s humid out there.”

“Okay, I’m going to the coffee shop downstairs. Want anything?”

“Caramel coffee. Iced. Thanks.” Catherine handed over some cash and tried to focus on the messages Sara left.

As soon as the door closed, Catherine pulled out her private cell phone. All summer with these construction workers would make her crazy. She needed to get rid of the fantasy or she’d do something stupid.

She logged in to her private account at Elite Fantasy Match and reviewed the fantasy she’d input last week. It wasn’t posted, only in review for her eyes. The service matched people discreetly to fulfill fantasies. No real names, never at home, they used an upscale hotel and false names plus a safe word to break the fantasy roll play scenario.

The service had saved her several times over the years. Always safe and discreet, that was exactly what she needed. A judge she’d dated as a young lawyer introduced her to it. No wild clubs or key parties permitted if you wanted to make partner or be a judge someday. That guy turned out to be too kinky for Catherine’s tastes but she used the service still.

The fantasy was basic, uptight executive woman needs to be roughly satisfied by two hot construction workers. They catcalled her and she had them written up. It was silly back story but it added a layer for her. In the notes, it spelled out what was acceptable and her limits. Her pussy throbbed just reading it over. Her trembling thumb activated the fantasy request.

Blurb:
Kelly always tried to be a good girl. Finally, she found the man who let her be a little bad with him and gave her the playful discipline she craved. That’s the man to marry! Engaged and looking forward to a nice Christmas with his family, she couldn’t be happier with her great guy and amazing sex life. Could she?

When her fiancé Mark’s two sexy cousins come to stay for the holidays and burst in on the couple during sex, her shock quickly turns to arousal. She goes from having one hot man to three, and Mark is behind it all. A girl could get used to having three men fulfilling her sexual needs. But is this a treat for the holidays or can she actually keep them all?

Excerpt:

Kelly put all the stress of the wedding plans and freelance graphic projects out of her mind as she lit candles around the living room. Mark’s big project at work was done, and they had a nice weekend ahead of them. She wanted to make sure they took full advantage.

She lit a fire in the big stone fireplace and laid out a thick blanket with a couple of pillows, hiding the handcuffs beneath one. She wanted her fiancé to get the message. She needed some attention.

Mark made her fantasies come true, but he’d been working so much she ached for his time. Being tied up, spanked and a little rough sex was in her future. He loved role playing, and she never felt self-conscious with him. They were a great match sexually and in the rest of life.

It was almost time for him to walk through the front door. She dropped her long silk robe, leaving the see-through lace slip she’d worn underneath. It was cheap and itched a little, but Mark tended to rip her lingerie. He liked that it was the same light blue as her eyes.

Plus the lace hid nothing from view. Kelly grew moist in anticipation. She pulled her hair free from the ponytail she’d worn while she’d worked, and the reddish brown curls spilled over her shoulders.
His key hit the lock, and her cunt tightened. No more working late for him; no more meeting and calls at all hours. Not this weekend. Christmas was this week so they’d have more time alone.

Mark dropped his briefcase as soon as he opened the door and tossed his keys on the side table. Taking off his coat, he finally looked at her.

Kelly smiled. “I missed you.”

Mark pushed the door closed. His wavy brown hair and big brown eyes made her melt, but that strong jaw and muscled form made her ache. The man possessed a confidence in bed she envied and needed. His devilish grin told Kelly the timing was perfect for a seduction. “Looks like you really missed me.”

His dress pants and shirt were gone shortly after his shoes. When he finally got to her, he kissed her hard, holding her against him so all that rough fabric rubbed her tender skin. Mark’s erection throbbed on her hip through his boxers.

“Sure you weren’t waiting for the UPS guy?” he asked.

“Only if I get you both.” It had taken her a year to talk like that. Mark had helped her be freer with her sexual needs and fantasies.

She knelt down and took off his socks then the boxers so he was completely nude. Licking up his shaft, she squeezed his balls. Kelly sucked him down then tongued the tip. It felt like forever since they’d been able to put the outside world truly outside their home.

“In a hurry?” He grabbed her hair and tried to ease her back.

Releasing him, she pulled him down to the blanket. “Not a rush. We’ve got all weekend. But I am in serious need of round one.”

Mark lay on his back and moved a pillow under his head, revealing the cuffs. “You’re begging for a marathon.”

“Not up for it?” She flicked her tongue on the tip of his cock and rolled the taste of his pre-cum around her mouth.

“Oh, you’re in for it.” He smacked her ass through the lace. “You need it faster so you better ride.”

She waited a few seconds to get another sweet slap on her ass. It felt so good her hips wanted to grind back for more. But her pussy’s needs won just then.

Straddling his hips, Kelly slid down onto his cock and felt that sweet reward of fullness. Then Mark gave her a preview of the roughness, jerking the front of her slip until it ripped and her breasts spilled out into his large hands.

He gripped her breasts and held as his teeth and tongue gave her nipples needed attention. The nips and sucks made her cunt quiver, and her hips took over. Riding Mark, she planted her hands on his shoulders and drove hard and fast. She could come twice to his once if she tried. But he could help or hinder that. He loved to tease her.

Her hips worked overtime, grinding on him, not wanting to lose the feeling of fullness. Mark lifted and his hands went from her front to her ass, alternately squeezing and spanking her. “You’re mine this weekend. You’ll do whatever I say.”

She gasped. Didn’t she always play into his fun? She’d do anything. The orgasm hit fast.

“Yes!” Her cunt contracted around him, and she fucked him fast to feel the full impact until the pounding of her release finally slowed.

She heard cheers and clapping. Her fantasies of being watched were never that vivid! Opening her eyes, she saw two familiar men standing there in jeans and T-shirts with big grins.

“Mark!” She jumped up and grabbed her robe.

“Damn it.” Mark tried to follow her.

She slammed the bathroom door behind her and locked it, something Mark had clearly forgotten to do with the front door.

“What the hell?” she demanded.

“Kelly, calm down and let me in.” Mark didn’t seem alarmed.

They needed to talk in private.

“Just you.” She flipped the lock.

Mark entered and locked the door behind him. “I’m sorry, but it’s really okay.”

She looked at herself in the mirror. Torn slip, breasts out, and a pink ass. “Okay? How is this okay?”

“They swear they knocked, but we didn’t hear them. I’m sorry I forgot to lock the front door. I grew up in a small town; I never remember.” Mark pulled her close and kissed her. “But it’s not a big deal.”

His cock, still hard and slick, pressed to her. She wanted more, but how could they do anything with guests waiting?

“Not a big deal?” she repeated. “How is it not a big deal that your cousins saw us screwing? Me in full orgasm. I can’t face them.”

His reaction wasn’t normal. They’d seen her practically naked.

A voice came from the living room. “Handcuffs. Kinky.”

“Mark’s lucky,” the other cousin said.

Mark sighed. “I’m sorry. It’s just not. I know you had a rigid upbringing about this stuff. But Jack, Paul and I all went to college together. The three of us shared an apartment for five years. We use to…share.”

“Share? Girls?” The idea sank slowly into Kelly’s brain. Her body and mind were both intrigued. Mark was sexually adventurous. “You’re all hot guys. You could have plenty of girls to yourselves.”

Mark grinned. “We did. I know it’s not typical. Look, Paul had a girlfriend who had a fantasy about multiple guys. She trusted us not to get greedy or nasty. She asked Paul, and we talked about it. It was amazing.” He shifted his arms around her, holding her hands behind her back.

“You don’t do stuff with each other?” How far did his kinky side go? These were thing a fiancée should know.

Mark laughed. “No, all the focus is on the woman. We’re related and none of us go that way. Trust me. Sharing is hot if the woman is into being adored and pleasured by more than one guy. We don’t do it all the time. Paul and Jack were totally into you at the family reunion and every time we’ve hung out. But, knowing your history, I wasn’t going to scare you off bringing it up before the wedding.”

“So the plan was to scare me after the wedding?” She shrugged. It wasn’t scary but shocking. Her family was so closed mouth about sex that don’t do it was all they’d say. When her older sister got pregnant at sixteen, she’d been thrown out. Kelly was left with the overbearing and overprotective suspicion heaped on her until she’d gotten away for college—still a virgin.

Mark made her feel safe and free to explore without the judgment her parents had dished out without even letting her date as a teen. She’d dated other guys but until meeting Mark when they were both twenty-seven, no one had made her feel free. Two years together and he kept amazing her. They were engaged and had a nice house.

“No, no scaring you. That was never the plan. I didn’t want to add to the stress of the wedding and the jobs and the holidays, especially if it wasn’t something you’re into. You like fantasy, power and role play stuff. I was trying to figure out how to bring this up.” He pinched her ass, and she pressed back for more. “Maybe you’d like it? Three hot guys, six hands, three mouths and cocks for you. I saw you looking at them on the beach at the family reunion.”

A Firm Hand

Blurb:

In public they are a proper couple in every way, but behind closed doors they explore rough desires that could prove more than they can handle.

Mariah and James share dark passions and are a match in every way but marriage is only the beginning of their journey.
Mariah wants more of James' intense instruction but James pulls away. She must tempt him, trust him, and prove to him that the ghosts of their childhood losses won't keep them from a long and happy marriage and unspeakable pleasure.

Excerpt:

James Montford slowed his horse to a walk as he took in the view of Mariah Griffin trotting her prize black mare. The woman’s lush curves and fearless nature called to him.

When she looked over her shoulder for him, she pulled up and turned to trot in his direction. “Are you tired, my lord?” Her breasts bounced as she brought her horse to a stop. The dress was in no way revealing, but James had an active imagination.

“Not at all. Simply enjoying the view of your uncle’s estate.” He knew she’d never believe it, which was precisely why he’d said it.

“If you’re bored, please do not continue on my account. Alice’s headache ruined your afternoon of riding with her. I simply needed to get some air, and on my uncle’s estate I can ride alone with no impropriety. You need not feel obligated.” She walked her horse around his, circling him like a vulture.

“I enjoy riding as well, Miss Griffin. Your company only adds to the view.” James had no designs on Alice, Mariah’s cousin, but her parents wanted him for a son-in-law. With neighbouring estates, the socialisation was inevitable. Until Mariah’s arrival, part chaperone and all friend for Alice, James had not spent much time here.

He and Mariah spoke rather openly to one another but stayed away from any topics of significance. That suited him well. He was in no haste to marry. The institution made most people he knew miserable. Mariah didn’t pressure him about Alice or any other attachment.

“View?” She looked down with a grin. “My mare is not for sale, my lord.”

He chuckled. She rebuffed his compliment and yet a touch of pink glowed in her cheeks. “I’m not shopping for horses. I have a well-stocked stable.”

“So I hear. My aunt wanted me to invite you to dinner. Hopefully, Alice’s headache has passed.” Mariah’s face turned serious as she nodded to the sky. “Rain is coming.
We should go back.”

“Eager to escape me?” He glanced up and saw her assessment was accurate. Annoyance boiled in his veins. Nature plotted to keep him from some relaxing time alone with Mariah. His desire for her fought his need to remain unattached.

Mariah made him feel things no other woman had. But she was a lady, the daughter of a rich man. Innocent and honourable in all things. Yet they had a connection. He was an earl, worthy of her, but if she knew his true nature, he suspected she’d run.

He knew she had three brothers. Perhaps if he treated her like a little sister, the lust would pass. “Shall we race?” he asked.

She nodded. Few men would suggest such a thing to a grown woman, but they’d begun a habit of teasing one another already. He wanted to watch her best him. It’d provide interesting dinner conversation.

“One, two, three.” He took off, and she didn’t sprint past him. Her lighter body and sleeker horse should’ve overtaken him at the average pace he’d set his mount. James wondered if she was now taking in the view? He felt lightheaded for a moment as his stomach ached in confusion and desire. To posses her was a dream, but dreams were false and easy. Reality hurt people, and he had no wish to upset anyone. He’d created a quiet life he could tolerate.

He pulled up at the stable and entered. Dismounting, he looked about for the stable boy and heard rustling in the hay. Defiling a chamber maid was no excuse for neglecting duty. James rounded the stall to chastise the couple. He stopped in his tracks and wanted to use his riding crop in a multitude of ways. Alice’s headache had apparently been cured by the affections of the vicar.

“Edmund?” James levelled a challenging glance at the man.

The vicar stepped in front of the dishevelled young woman. “Forgive me, my lord.”

“Your lordship.” Alice tried to cover herself.

“You’ve won, my lord. The rain is starting. Where is everyone?” Mariah followed James’ path, and her jaw dropped as she took in the scene.

James helped her off her horse, relishing the feel of her firm body beneath his hands. She barely gave him a nod as she glared at her cousin. The play of the race and the weather no longer proved of interest to either of them.

“Alice!” Mariah grabbed her cousin and pulled her away from Edmund’s arms. “What are you doing?”

Blurb:

Sex and friendship don't mix but the explosion can trigger love if only Tom can convince the sexy Greek, Gus, to open himself up to the possibility.

Can two men have sex and stay friends? Best friends since college, Tom and Gus have been through a lot. Dragging Gus out of a bad mood is easy, but the problem is Gus' recent breakup with a mutual friend. Tom wants Gus for himself and sets out to prove that friends can screw around and stay friends. But he wants more and confessing his feelings is harder than seduction.

Excerpt:

Tom Stewart parked in front of Little Mykonos in Greek town and headed into the bar side of the building owned by his friend Augustus Theomopolous, better known as Gus.

The opposite side was a cosy Greek restaurant typical in Chicago, but this one felt like home to Tom.

When he entered, things seemed immediately out of place with Gus’ Uncle Louis behind the black lacquer bar. “Where is he?” Tom asked.

“Back booth. I know it’s Gus’ place, but he knows he can’t drink while he works. I called his brother in. Nemo’ll be here soon.”

“Thanks.” Tom walked towards the back. He and Gus had been fast friends at Northwestern, both on the swim team with scholarships. Tom had even worked summers here at Louis’ restaurant for extra money. And to hang out with Gus.

They’d stayed close along with two other friends from the football team. Gay wasn’t necessarily cool ten years ago when they’d started college, so the jocks who didn’t go for the cheerleaders stuck together and kept quiet for the most part.

The familiar zing of desire hit Tom as he saw Gus. Six feet tall, with medium olive complexion, dark brown eyes, and lots of jet black hair, he looked full-blooded Greek despite being only half. Tom knew Gus’ family almost as well as his own.

They’d been so close for so long, Tom had learned to hide his desire and be happy with the friendship. But the feelings never went away. In all these years as friends, Tom had never made a move. It always seemed one of them was in a relationship when the other was free.

And friends dating friends got messy, as Gus had recently discovered.

Shifting Sides
Cheryl Dragon

In spite of being held captive by sadistic scientists, shifters Kiren and Breman forged a relationship. The evacuation of Earth forced them apart but their mutual lust never died. Now Breman has the chance to bring Kiren back to the rebel colony with him.

Cat-shifter Kiren has missed her dragon-shifter mate and when Breman catches up with her on Old Earth, their lust gets the best of them—for once without limits or spectators. Finally sharing all their secrets, Breman has a plan. Freedom and passion are within reach if they can escape the assassins in orbit.

Excerpt:

An Excerpt From: SHIFTING SIDES
Copyright © CHERYL DRAGON, 2009
Kiren turned suddenly and her green eyes flashed with recognition and relief Breman wanted to see. No anger or fear reflected in her body language and he knew her well enough to read every muscle twitch.

“Long time no see.” He leaned on the wall next to her and felt something move under his shoulder.

Out of nowhere the vault doors slid shut with no chance to make an escape. He stared at it, stunned. Nothing with power still worked on this planet as far as he knew. The backup to this deep vault had somehow remained untouched. A pressure trigger? A booby trap?

“What did you do?” She ran to the door and tried to move it.

He threw all his strength into helping her but it was no use. “I don’t know what happened. Everything electronic here is dead.”

“Obviously not or it’s a different sort of lock. What are you doing here anyway?” She turned to him, her angled features furrowed in frustration.

“I needed to see you. You’re okay?” he asked.

“I’m fine. I can take care of myself. How’s your rebel colony?” She tried the switch for the door and examined the wall for a switch or trigger. Finally she slammed it with her fist.

Breman was in no hurry to escape. A captive audience would help but her heat and scent distracted him from logic. “Good. Safe. Free. You’d be happy there. No experiments or captivity.” He slid a hand on her tense shoulder. Kiren didn’t want to be locked anywhere.

Neither did he but being locked up with her made it better.

She relaxed a bit under his touch. “The experiments don’t happen anymore. Nothing like that with the new government. I work recovering items and I’m not a captive. You and your shifters can live like wild animals—I won’t.”

“It’s not that bad. Shifters are free. Some have human mates. Some live in packs while some live as humans and only shift when they feel the need. We’re not the only ones the government oppressed. You’re sure you don’t want to try freedom. Do you like a leash?” He moved behind her and pressed his chest to her back. Kiren’s skin was always so soft.

All the things he’d longed to do with her rushed to mind. All the things the scientists made them do left him wary of her reaction. One shift and a swipe of her claws and he’d be dead.

Judging the risk worth it, he nuzzled the back of her neck, brushing her long brown hair aside. “I’ve missed you.”

Kiren leaned into him. “You know there is a death order out on you from New Earth. You’re considered dangerous.”

He pulled her closer and her rear brushed his erection. “Don’t you ever wonder about it? The freedom. All the things they’d never let us do?”

“They were experimenting with our reproductive capabilities. If it didn’t result in potential pregnancy…” She shuddered.

“The shock collars are gone.” He held her, letting his hands glide over the curve of her hip and onto her flat stomach. “I wanted you before the experiments. I don’t care about reproduction. I want you still.”

“All the things we couldn’t do.” Her voice cracked as her fingers pulled his hands up. “I’ve thought about it.”

Her high round breasts felt warm and her hard nipples pressed to his palms. Relief and arousal mixed in him. She wanted him now—not just in captivity.

Breman turned her and pressed her back to the wall. They could be locked here forever for all he cared. He kissed her mouth slowly and then deepened it as her arms pulled him closer. No rush of people watching, no pressure to perform—only here and now could he sample and seduce her.

Her hands worked down his back and cupped his ass. Kiren’s eagerness aroused him more. He looked around, waiting for the shock correction. Finally he laughed at himself. They were truly alone. He didn’t have to share her with others or hide anything from the prying eyes of the scientists. They weren’t going to be watched and that fact only made it harder to control his need for her.

“No one is watching. We’re free. I want your tongue on my body. Your mouth.” She kissed his throat.

He wanted that so badly his own mouth went dry. “What about the death order? You don’t want to kill me?”

Kiren smiled up at him. “Right now I want you alive. We deserve this much.”

And check out the other great authors in the anthology with me:)

Blurb:

Exes Evan and Stacey get a lesson in mixing business with pleasure that might just bring them back together.Three-ways and sharing men are nothing new for Evan and Stacey, but when their potential clients invite them to an optional company sex retreat on a tropical island, these exes jump at the chance to explore their sexual fantasies in a private villa. Mixing business with pleasure could lose them the deal of their careers or bring them back to the love and relationship they both need.

Excerpt:

Evan walked into Stacey’s office without knocking, closed the door and locked it. “Told the boss. We’re good.”

“No issue with us both off for a week?”

“I told him the deal was in the bag if we play nice. It’s a Euro thing to do the details. When he heard Carpe Amor is picking up the tab, he told me to get the deal.” He looked into her soft brown eyes and saw a spark of hesitation. “What? Sex with no strings, no guilt, and no repercussions. That’s what you’ve always wanted. There are people who will like you better because you’re not as uptight as you act.”

She stood and smacked his arm. “I’m professional, not uptight. I don’t make the rules. Before you, I was normal.” A strand of pale blonde hair escaped her trendy twist hairstyle that kept her wild waves in check.

All the men fantasised about her. Five foot eight with curves that never quit. She was no skinny model, but who wanted bony? Lush and fair, she kept herself in a size ten. Her nails were polished, her makeup perfect, but he’d seen her without any and wanted more of that wild side. “You’re normal, just sexually charged. You don’t have to be professional this week. You have to enjoy yourself, and that’s all.” He pulled her close and let the feel of her curves fire him up. Their encounters at work were quick so as not to be caught. Now they had a week together. Evan refused to screw up again.

“What if they want something we don’t like?” She pressed to him, resting her head on his shoulder as though they were still together. The mixed signals drove him crazy, but he’d rather have a bit of her than nothing. The darker and deeper side of him wanted all of her, all the time. If only he deserved her.

“You can’t like every kink out there. Relax.” He kissed her neck. “You’ll want enough to prove yourself not a prude. Just shut off your work brain. It’s a vacation, and we don’t even have to use vacation days for it. So get that through your head.”

He felt her arms relax and wind around his waist. Evan had missed her, not just women but her. All the blame belonged on him. He’d pushed her away, but she’d let him be himself the way no one else had. Giving in to men without her had been a mistake, and he’d paid for it. Two years with her, one year without. He knew what he was missing and hated himself. Maybe someday, he’d tell her there had been no women but her in that year. For now, he had a chance to share a fantasy with her again. He couldn’t screw it up. Instead, he’d take every advantage.

“Once we’re there, it’ll be real. It still feels like a dream.” She nuzzled his neck as her hips rocked side-to-side, egging on his growing erection. “We’re a good team for this deal.”

“We’re a good team, period.” He kissed her slowly, letting his hand dig into her thick hair. As he deepened the kiss, Evan pulled the combs out of her hair and let it fall. Then he tugged up her skirt to reveal those hot-pink, lace, thong panties she favoured. The contrast to her pale skin made Evan fully hard. No matter how many times he saw her like this, he craved her. Classy with a classic style, she’d risen above her poor roots, a background they shared. Now, she let herself enjoy small luxuries and let her little quirks show where no one would see.

“Not here,” she protested.

Tugging her thong to one side, Evan slid two fingers between her soft thighs and over her bare pussy lips. All the way back, he found her moist and her hips swayed for more with the slightest flicks.

Closer & Leverage

2009-08-31T16:36:00.000-07:00

I missed out on last week thanks to insane work....but I must comment on the season finale of Closer (before I share my new release...and I will:)

The Closer kept advertising things would change....and while I was amused by her niece getting Brenda high on 'special' brownies and how pissed off Fritz got (love to see him fuming...yummy!) but I wasn't blown away by this season much at all.

Now the latest Leverage....that was awesome!!!!!! The gang going against a similar gang that's bad and also protecting Sophie. Then a hint of maybe some relationship going further with Nate & Sophie. Nice! Good action. And Wil Wheaton was the most evil guy. I loved him in ST:TNG...so it's nice to see him embrace his geek again and being the ultimate hacker who gets caught by the good guys!!

Leverage rules....The Closer needs to up it's game for next season!

Stay tuned...

It's been a crazy July....

One of my favorite shows is back on TNT. Leverage started up again:)

Good angel vs. not so good angel....and a tricky case, awesome!!

It's amazing. That show doesn't shy away from anything. This other angel tried to save hitler and all these terrible people. he'd lost over a million souls and tried to bribe everyone.

If you missed it, catch it online. Might be my favorite Saving Grace episode, ever!

New Closer...getting good!

2009-06-23T18:47:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone,

Glad you enjoyed my latest release:)

The Closer season opening was a bit predictable, I thought. But the two episodes since then have been great. The killing of the real estate scammer made all of us little guys feel good! And last night seeing justice for self defense was nice.

But poor poor Kitty. As a cat person that was just terrible to lose Kitty.

New Saving Grace on tonight. That show is wild but I like the unpredictability!

I got a new cover for an August release that's just great... I'll have to share that later this week!

New Release: Psychic Rebels

2009-06-16T02:42:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone!

New Release Today from Loose Id. Here's the info and a hot excerpt:)

Psychic Rebels

M/M Paranormal
Available Now at Loose Id
Link: http://www.loose-id.com/prod-Psychic_Rebels-965.aspx
Excerpt Link: http://www.loose-id.com/CDPsReex.aspx

Blurb:

On again, off again lovers Colin and Dennis know they are meant to be together, but the world is against them. Dennis, a healer, wants to avoid the paranormal even though he loves a talented psychic. But his psychic loves the chase and wants to save the world daily, and the strain on them is too great.When fate brings them together again, they decide to give it another go. Lust and love are on their side, but evil strikes again. Against her will, Dennis's sister is turned into a werewolf and now they must face the paranormal truths, fears, lusts they have been hiding from. And hope love is enough to forge them into a team.
Excerpt:

Today had felt familiar and frustrating all at once. As Dennis approached the old motel room, anxiety filled him. Colin waited on the other side. It’d been a long day. With his energy completely drained from healing the rescued boy, Dennis didn’t need the hurdle of facing the one man who could turn him inside out.

His BlackBerry chimed, and Dennis shook off the fog. Colin’s text messaged wanting to know where he was. His mind wandered easily when his energy dipped severely. He felt safe with Colin; his heart might get broken, but physically he was in no danger. Colin’s interaction with the paranormal world made it hard for Dennis to let his guard down, but Colin would die before he let anything bad happen to him.

Opening the door with the key, he paused and inhaled not the musty smell of old motel dust but the delicious aroma of pepperoni pizza. His stomach knotted in hunger. Leave it to Colin to know exactly what he needed.

“They didn’t give me a separate room.” Dennis had had a futile argument with the police chief already, so he’d known that he and Colin would be sharing a room. The comment kept distance between them, exactly the way Dennis wanted it.

Colin Lockland grinned and tossed his T-shirt onto his overnight bag. Even if his ex weren’t bare-chested, Dennis would have stopped at the sight of his muscled ex-lover. His black skin glistened as he rubbed his bald head, and his brown eyes always seemed to be searching for something. The ring through one of his nipples was new. “Don’t blame me. The chief didn’t know we broke up, again. She didn’t ask me either. I had no clue she was going to bring you in on this case. The hotel is all booked up with reporters now.” He opened the pizza box and sat on the bed.

After closing the door and dropping his overnight bag in the corner, Dennis grabbed a slice and ate fast. They hadn’t worked a case together in six months. Most of the time, the cops only needed Colin’s superpsychic brain to locate a body, a missing person, or whatever. On a few occasions, Dennis got called in to help. His healing gifts and psychic skills focused on feelings more than facts. Tapping into people’s emotions when all hope seemed lost was where he excelled, but it didn’t rate high in police work.

“Don’t be pissed. They’re used to you on a case with me. The chief bugged me about you on my last two. I told her you needed to get paid or you weren’t coming. On this one, they needed you enough to cough up the cash.” Colin shrugged.

Nodding, Dennis took another slice. Money played no part, but it allowed him to distance himself. He couldn’t turn down this case. The missing boy survived cruel treatment for over a week, kept in a cage in a closet and brutalized. Colin had the vision of where, but to get the kid to come out so they could treat him proved harder. Kids learned quickly, and this one had lost all trust in adults he didn’t know. Today Dennis connected and helped the boy, but it had an emotional cost. “I’ll sleep for a week.” He grabbed one of the two bottles of Coke on the nightstand. Eyeing the one king-size bed in the room, Dennis knew they’d found trouble tonight.

Then Colin dipped into Dennis’s thoughts. Dennis could always tell when he did by the soothing sensation that filled him. He felt too exhausted to be annoyed or even to mentally swat Colin away. They’d endured so much that it felt comfortable to have Colin there. Most of the time, they kept thoughts private, and Dennis could block him easily, but not tonight.

“You can drive back to Chicago tonight if you want. Only two hours.” Colin patted the bed.

They both knew Dennis wasn’t that crazy. “I’d pass out. It’s three a.m. I hate when they do that standoff crap. The criminal knows he’s going to jail or going to die. Pick one and get it over with.” Dennis gave in and sat on the bed next to the pizza box.

Colin’s devilish eyes called to him. “We needed you. That kid will recover faster and be less traumatized because of you.”

“You found him.” Dennis shrugged off the compliment. He hated police work. His psychic skills only brought him to the worst cases. Tonight they’d had the FBI, two different police department jurisdictions, and more backup than he’d ever seen in attendance. Plus reporters! Dennis didn’t care for an audience. He and Colin agreed on that at least.

“The police like me better when you’re around.” Colin ran a hand over Dennis’s tense shoulder. “You ground me and even me out. Helps me focus, and I’m not such a single-minded jerk to them.”

Dennis couldn’t hide a smile. “We work well together, but we’ve tried it before.” The issues wouldn’t disappear because of one fun night or one tense one, no matter how much he longed for Colin.

“I didn’t say anything about getting back together.” Colin’s hand moved up to Dennis’s hair. “You’re filthy and exhausted. Let’s hop in the shower and get you recharged.”

Some men would’ve taken Colin’s comment as a euphemism for sex, but he was being very literal. “I’m not taking your energy. You’ve been up and working as long as I have. I don’t need it.” Dennis barely had the energy to psychically nudge Colin back.

“Like hell. You poured all you’ve got into that kid and you look like shit.” Colin pulled Dennis closer. “You couldn’t fight off a puppy.”

Colin got up and tugged on Dennis’s hands until he stood. Dennis gave in physically, knowing Colin could handle his weight and then some. Colin grew up on Chicago’s South Side in the area where kids went to jail, joined a gang, or left completely. They didn’t turn out gay and psychic. When Dennis met Colin, Colin lived on the down low, claiming to like women but sleeping with men. The denial confused Dennis, but Colin’s need to fight paranormal creatures that preyed on the helpless intrigued him.

Colin’s familiar touch electrified every bit of Dennis’s skin. More than anything, Dennis wanted to kiss and hold Colin. What kept them apart wasn’t love or fidelity or any of the usual issues. Dennis couldn’t even focus on the complex history that brought them here. He couldn’t focus on anything as Colin stripped him naked and led him to the bathroom.

“I’m okay.” Dennis leaned on the cold tile wall as Colin turned the shower full blast and removed his own clothes. The sight of Colin naked, all hard muscles and dark intentions, made Dennis’s cock awaken. He toyed with the nipple ring, and Colin pressed for more.

“Sure, you’re great. I could have you any way I want ten times, muscle man, and you couldn’t fight back if you wanted to.” Colin closed in as his hands rubbed over Dennis’s tense body.

Health, good energy, and balance—that’s what Dennis loved about Colin. Dennis worked out and loved how fit and healthy Colin kept himself. Using his powers to help people beat disease and injury… Dennis got immense satisfaction from it. Colin’s work tended toward the more dangerous end. Why couldn’t they fit? Dennis shook his head. “Don’t.”

Colin kissed him, and Dennis thanked whatever powers ruled the universe that Colin didn’t listen. The sexual energy Colin sparked in Dennis infused him, but it was only a start. Dennis couldn’t deny the weakness.

Not breaking the kiss, Dennis followed Colin into the hot shower. The water helped his body, and Colin’s strength and touch eased his mind. Colin pressed Dennis back to lean on the wall. “I missed you,” Colin whispered.

“Me too, but we can’t…” Dennis tried to open his eyes.

“Don’t. Don’t think or argue. You’ll kill yourself if you don’t relax and let someone help you for a change. We need to get cleaned up, and you need energy.” He pressed chest to chest, that little ring grinding between them, and all the way down. Rubbing cock to cock deepened the energy and connection, but the tease of their tangling legs fueled an intimate desire.

Dennis held on, his palms flat against Colin’s shoulder blades. The heat Colin’s body produced pulled Dennis in until he rested his forehead to his ex-lover’s.

Colin knew how to project his energy and let it flow so Dennis had to do nothing but receive. Energy, life force—whatever people called it—was real. Some people naturally projected positive energy, and that attracted people. Other individuals sucked energy, and people near them felt the fatigue. Most people handled their energy unconsciously, but when focused, energy could be very powerful.

Dennis had never felt more grateful for the man he loved. If Colin could stick to helping humans, Dennis would never let him go. Colin was the only one Dennis trusted to help him balance out his energy. He couldn’t help the vulnerability; he hated it.

“Drink it in,” Colin urged.

Colin’s use of the word “drink” set off red flags that rekindled Dennis’s tension. “I’m not a damn vampire.” He hated using Colin like this, even though it caused Colin no pain or harm.

“No, I didn’t mean it like that. At the worst, you’re a psychic vampire. You give and receive, just energy though. Stop fighting it. Vamps aren’t all bad.” Colin kissed his neck and teased Dennis with his teeth. “You like it when I bite you in some places.”

“No, you know how that bugs me.” If Dennis possessed his full strength, they’d be in a fight about Colin’s connections to the underworld, the whole dark scene that Dennis avoided. The saga, a pointless rerun, served no purpose at the moment. Vampires remained a part of Dennis’s history, a dark part he tried to repress and avoid.

Now Colin nuzzled Dennis’s neck instead. “Is there a clinical term for vampire-phobic? Believe me, humans can be much worse.”

Dennis ignored the question and pushed against Colin to suck the energy from him. They understood each other’s limits, and Dennis could never hurt the man he still loved. He’d die first. Yet his history suggested otherwise. “I need you,” he whispered.

“I know.” Colin put out more energy as the ego stroke fueled him. Their psychic connection snapped back to full strength the minute they were near each other. His cock rubbed Dennis’s, and Dennis felt the warm glow as he grew harder. Taking a deep breath, Dennis felt his energy return. Sexual hunger consumed him. Dennis pushed Colin back and started to kneel.

“No, I’ve got to clean you up first.” Colin reached for a bar of soap.

Dennis knelt, refusing to let Colin guide things further. The mythical theory of a man’s power being in his cum tempted him. Or was it just the need for Colin’s flavor after six months apart? It didn’t matter. “I need this.” Dennis licked over Colin’s erection and down to his sac. He’d felt tortured every night they spent apart. They belonged together but couldn’t get their worlds to mesh without explosions.

Rubbing up the shaft in firm, circular motions, Dennis felt Colin give in. Two years of off- again, on-again made them appreciate each other every time they were on. Dennis knew all Colin’s buttons and quirks, yet the need for him never lessened. The bar of soap clattered to the floor as Colin thrust against Dennis’s lips. Sucking the precum from the tip, Dennis held on to Colin tightly with strength restored and lust ignited by the man he’d been avoiding.

New Season of the Closer

2009-06-14T14:42:00.000-07:00

Okay...so I'm a HUGE Closer fan. I love Brenda & Fritz. Get a kick out of Provena and Flynn.

But Kitty...poor kitty has to get sick:( How awful. I'm a cat person and that's just awful. she loves that cat!

I liked the story, though I did figure this one out withing the first 15 minutes. Most of them have twists and turns but this time it was more obvious.

We'll see what happens on the Closer this season. Saving Grace starts this week. I've got to wait until July to see Leverage...oh well. hopefully it stays as good as it started. Grace just keeps getting weirder. I go on and off that show.

Have a nice week! Check back Tuesday for my release announcement:)

Bones Season Finale

2009-05-23T11:40:00.000-07:00

Okay, I was all geared up for the coma episode of Bones where they're married, everything is wacky and yet they solve a murder.

It was well done but I didn't enjoy it as much as I expected. I wanted to like it. And it wasn't the ending (not very original, amnesia)....it was the difference in the main two characters. They seemed like themselves and yet very much not. It ruined the will they/won't they chemistry. That anticipation is gone. It was just an annoying episode to me.

And what's with NBC canceling My Name is Earl?? That's just crazy....

Oh well, new Closer and Leverage seasons are coming this summer;)

The Office & My Name is Earl Season Finales

2009-05-18T18:39:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone!!

Catching up on my DVR'd tv. Two of the season finales were just perfect!!

The Office made fun of company picnics and the crazy things they make us do. Most companies aren't even putting up the $ for those events this year so they should be grateful if not for one the odd competition. And of course a great cliffhanger, hoping Pam is pregnant but not being sure. At least we know the Scranton branch isn't going anywhere.

Now onto My Name is Earl. I loved this show since the beginning. Except for that weird part where Earl is in coma, it's been fairly consistent. Good laughs and a look at trailer park living I've never seen!

The season finale surrounded the question who is dodge's real dad. Little chubby? some random guy?? i hate to spoil it but the writers did a great job with the twists and turns and hooks right up until the end when we get a new question about Earl Jr.

Now I'm eager for new episodes.

Thankfully the Closer starts new in June and Leverage in July. Enough new tv to keep me entertained!!

Tonight, Paranormal State's season finale!

Paranormal State....

2009-05-13T16:40:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't know, a lot of stories have paranormal elements. One of my favorite is psychic elements. So it's no wonder I love Paranormal State on A&E.

Monday's episode was really intense. Dead and Back had a really evil ghost and the woman who was being haunted actually had died herself and been brought back twice. And she brought the ghost back with her...Freaky! Don't want to spoil too much but this one will give you chills...

I love Chip! He's so funny...and his channeling is so intense I swear one day he will just hit Ryan (because the ghost/demon makes him).

Anyway, that's one fun show down. Tonight is a new Ghost Hunters and a new Monsterquest!

Cheryl

Family Guy does King

2009-05-11T17:55:00.000-07:00

Okay, the Sunday night episode of Family Guy was cute. 3 spoofs of Stephen King novels....the usual messing up Joe's legs in every one.

But where was Death???

I mean Stand By Me is all about finding a dead body and Death doesn't show up?? I love Death...he just makes an episode!

Still I thought the Stand By Me spoof was the best....the other two weren't too off the wall. Why couldn't they do Carrie or the Shining?? Meg has enough issues to be Carrie:) And Stewie is made to say "Redrum"

Speaking of redrum...on my recent trip down to FL for the Romantic Time convention, some friends and I stopped in a liquor store. I don't drink much...but they had tiny little bottles of Redrum (fruit flavored rum). That was a keeper!

But as far as Family Guy...it was good but not their best. I want them to bring the cast of Star Trek, Next Gen on again. That was so insane it was great! But I'm a Star Trek geek so what can I say??

okay...enough Family Guy fun. New Paranormal State is on tonight...it always freaks me out. but my friends say I'm psychic so that's part of it. I wish I could see/hear/ talk to the dead. But I do get my share of deja vu and strong feelings.

Like right now, I feel I'm babbling! So I'll call it a blog for today...

Available Now in ebook
Pub: Loose Id
Genre: GLBT Ménage/ Role Playing (Halloween themed)
Buy Link: http://www.loose-id.com/detail.aspx?ID=802

Blurb:

Being bold for the first time by dressing as a slutty convict, good girl Abby never makes it to her Halloween party. She's pulled over by two sexy men dressed as cops: her best gay boyfriends, Zach and Kevin. They know about her lead foot and her fear of getting caught by authority so it's the perfect spooky scare. But the lovers take it one step further and arrest her, taking her to their home for a night of kinky fun.

The terms: she has to fulfill their every sexual whim or be taken to jail.

Abby has no interest in resisting except when it adds to the pleasure. She's secretly wanted a three-way with them since her friend Zach started dating the rugged alpha Kevin. Not that she imagined they'd really do it, but she'd never felt free like she does with them.

The problem: Once won't be enough for Abby or Zach.
In love with them both, Abby's going to have to seduce Kevin. The sexy bad cop has never had a woman before now and may not be willing to share Zach again.

Genre: Ménage

Blurb:

Cassie has found the man of her dreams. Neil’s rich and smart and hotter than hell! He's perfect. Except for one small thing. Their sex life is cooling off and he’s not talking. It's not her, she's almost sure, and she's not giving up. She's determined to get to the bottom of it. And fix it.

What Cassie doesn't know is that Neil used to have a boyfriend. Lou. They used to pick up women together, have sex with them, enjoy them, but they never found one they wanted to keep. Then Lou moved on. Neil tried. He tried to go straight for Cassie and for his career, but he never stopped loving Lou and without that man in his bed, he's never going to have everything he needs, no matter how much he loves Cassie.

Once Cassie starts digging around, the truth can't be denied. And neither can the chemistry between Cassie and Lou. Is she the one they needed all along? Cassie's never had two men before. Not even just in bed. The idea of a ménage life scares her a little, honestly. But now that she knows how to please her boyfriend, she's not letting him go. Even if it means learning to love her boyfriend's boyfriend.

Intro Cheryl Dragon

2009-05-08T17:40:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone!!

Okay, I did the blog thing....two reasons.

1--I keep missing my one day a month where I was group blogging due to work/life/writing....

2--I finally had an idea of what I want to chat about. At least weekly.

I write erotic romance for Ellora's Cave, Loose Id, among others. Here I will post when I have a new release or great review. For more info www.cheryldragon.com

My latest release is Her Boyfriend's Boyfriend...a contemporary menage. I'll do a seperate post this weekend on that...

In addition to writing, I love tv. the stories and characters are great....it's my background noise while I'm writing.

So last night I was watching one of my favorite shows and wanted to share about it. Suddenly a blog seemed like the right idea!!

One of my favorite shows right now is Bones. Smart, funny, and fast moving. But last night they combined another of my favorite shows...bringing over Stewie from Family Guy to be a guest on Bones. How great is that? Of course the show ended on a serious note but Stewie stole the episode. I can't wait until next week for the season finale!

So that's what my blog will be about. My books and my love of tv. I'll post at least once a week about whatever tv show grabbed me best. I've listed my favorite shows below...it's subject to change of course.

Bones
Family Guy
The Closer
My Name is Earl
Ghost Hunters
Paranormal State
The Office
Monk
Leverage
Dollhouse
South Park
Reno 911
Monsterquest
Saving Grace

A variety of things...as you can see. But check back and see what I think of your favorite show...

And don't forget to check out my hot stories...

Stay Tuned!

Cheryl
