And Manny Makes Seven, Cream and Screwdrivers coming December 3

The next Mannies book is coming out on December 3!

This one was fun to write, although with a family of six siblings, it was also a challenge!

When Adam's parents died three years ago, he kept his five younger siblings together, playing parent as best a twenty-one year old could under the circumstances. Now his mentor Helena has passed away from cancer and Adam doesn't know what to do. He's shocked, but grateful when a reading of the will determines that he's not only inherited her beloved shit-zhus, but also the house, a generous trust for everyone's education, and three million dollars, some of it earmarked for hiring a nanny.

Hutch has worked as a nanny since he was nineteen and took over the care of his neighbors children when both parents were killed in separate missions overseas. He's worked with several families since and feels confident he can handle five children aged four through seventeen.

Hutch's arrival is just what Adam needs and as Hutch begins to turn the big house from Helena's place into their home, Adam and his siblings begin to see Hutch as more than just the nanny.

Can a path of tragedy and sorrow turn the corner to happiness and love?

This will be out on December 3 at Torquere Press.

Also coming out the same day from Torquere is the next Hammer Club novel -- Cream

Cream, a Hammer Novel

Storm owns the Beat & Cream bakery, popular with the Hammer Club members for its name, the amazing pastries Storm bakes, and his willingness to make all sorts of naughty creations. Not into the lifestyle himself, Storm loves the punny nature of the name of his establishment and everyone he's met have been nice.

Zeb, an unattached Top and Hammer Club member hears about the bakery and knows he must check it out for himself, given he has the world's biggest sweet tooth. He finds the pastries delicious, but he's even more taken with the owner himself, and sets out to woo Storm.

It's easy to fall in love with someone who makes you laugh and brings your life joy, but what happens when that happens with someone who isn't into the same things you are? Zeb and Storm are about to find out if they can find some mutual ground, or if Zeb's lifestyle will keep them apart.

And the collection of Hammer Club short stories featuring Marcus and Jim, Billy and Montana, and Simon and Jeremy also comes out December 3!

My God It's Monday, holiday edition

I am having a relaxing and extremely fun time visiting with BA Tortuga and Julia Talbot. There has been so much laughter, the kind that is deep and bellyful and continues on long enough to make your eyes tear up.

We have tons of wonderful Thanksgiving food planned out. Everything from mimosas in the morning to turkey and sweet potatoes, deep fried brussels sprouts and cranberry sauce. Mustn't forget the dessert -- pecan pie, pumpkin pie, cranberry salad just to name a few.

Share your Thanksgiving menu (or just your favorite Thanksgiving food) with me in the comments for a chance to win a copy of No Regrets, which comes out on November 30. I'll randomly draw a winner on Saturday the 29th. If you don't celebrate thanksgiving, you can still enter by telling me what your favorite celebratory meal/food is.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not.

Coming Soon, the Holiday Stories Edition

I have five Holiday themed stories coming out in the next few weeks. That's more than any other year when it's been one or two, which makes me happy. I do love Christmas, so it's always a pleasure to write holiday themed stories -- even if it is in the middle of July!

Speaking of the holidays, I have Christmas Cards and I'm not afraid to send them! If you'd like one, please email me at seanmichaelwrites @ gmail . com (without the commas) with your mailing address and I will pop one in the mail to you when I get home.

I don't have access to my files while I'm on holiday, so unfortunately, I can't share any excerpts of these stories, but I can share the blurbs and let you know when they'll be available.

The first one coming out was actually written quite a few years ago. It's been out of print for over a year and I'm so pleased that Amber agreed to re-publish it for me, right in time for Christmas, too! So if you haven't read No Regrets yet, now's your chance!

Drake is a musician and singer with a career that has spun out of his control. When he gets an invitation from an old friend to come and spend some downtime in the country, he happily turns off his cell phone and heads to the middle of nowhere.

Artist Scott hopes Drake will find some peace on his little farm, and sets about making his old buddy right at home. Can the two of them fight off Drake's fame and find happiness together, at least for the Christmas season?

No Regrets will be available on Sunday November 30 at Amber.

The next Christmas story to be released is a part of Dreamspinner's "Celebrate" Advent Calendar. Beginning December 1, the stories will be available individually, but if you pre-order the package, you get all 31 stories delivered throughout the month for a much lower price than buying them individually.

Check out the whole package here.

My story is The Swag Man Delivers.

Orpheus “O” Drummond, a recent Ph.D. graduate, is visiting Australia after defending his thesis, and being dumped by his boyfriend. While alone on the beach in Australia was not how he’d originally planned on spending his Christmas, when O runs into Gage, he figures Santa knew exactly what he was doing.

Gage is traveling away from his Texan home, trying to “find himself.” When he finds O instead, he doesn’t think things could have worked out better. Together Gage and O celebrate Christmas in the best way they can think of.

Next up is Guns, Leather and Tinsel, featuring the owner of a biker bar and an undercover leather-daddy cop. Strangely enough there are gunrunners, lots of leather and also some tinsel in this book!

Undercover cop Brian “Boom” Simpson is working the week before Christmas so the guys with families don’t have to. He’s on the hunt for a motorcycle club that’s running guns. His work leads him to The Rusty Tailpipe, a biker bar just outside of town where the Bloody Sundays hang out.

Raptor Evans, owner of The Rusty Tailpipe, loves his life. He owns a bit of land, and his bar, where he doesn’t put up with any trouble, running a tight ship with the help of his trusty baseball bat. When Boom comes walking in, the drool worthy stud turns Raptor’s world upside down, in more ways than one.

Can Boom and Raptor’s fledgling relationship survive Boom’s job, the Bloody Sundays, gunrunners, and Christmas?

This one will be out on December 3 from Resplendence Publishing.

After that is my story with Changeling. They do a different theme every year and this year's theme was Peppermint Twist. I had a lot of naughty pun with this one. (And no that isn't a typo.) 

Bad Elf, No Candy Cane

When candy maker Syllabub runs away from the North Pole, Claus sends his best enforcer after the wayward elf.

Power is good at his job, but when he finds Syllabub in the sweltering heat of Ottawa in July, the last thing he wants to do is return to the North Pole.

Is there something between them? Or has the heat gone to Power's head? Only time will tell.

This one is coming out on December 12 (Changeling is usually early, though, so look for it on the 11th!)

And finally, we have my annual Hammer Christmas Auction story. I don't have the cover for this one yet.

 It's been two years since Neil's Master Chris passed away unexpectedly and he's ready for someone to touch him again. More than ready. The problem is that everyone is respectfully keeping their distance. Participating in the annual charity Hammer Auction seems like the perfect opportunity to announce his readiness, and to get some of the touches he craves so badly at the same time.

To Neil's surprise, his best friend and neighbor, Master Dalton makes the winning bid, leaving Neil to wonder if he must continue exist alone and untouched. Master Dalton has a secret, though, one that might change Neil's life forever.

This one will be out on December 17 from Torquere Press.

Believe it or not, I have five other releases in the month of December that aren't related to the holidays! That's what happens when I do holiday themed stories on top of 'regular' stories! I'll save them for another blog post.

Happy Sunday!

My God it's Monday

Today was spent wrapping up a million and one little things so that I can relax and have an amazing time on my holidays, which start tomorrow at an ungodly hour (I have to leave the house at 4am). I will still post here and on twitter and facebook I'm sure as the mood takes me, but I also may not.

Meanwhile, I got to see my part of the world entirely blanketed by snow today. It is so beautiful, it takes my breath away.

Everyone be good, or at least don't do anything I wouldn't do - which yes, leaves you wiiiiiiiide open!

Throwback Thursday - Fine as Frog Hair

If you have any requests for Throwback Thursday, just let me know!

Today, I'm throwing back to one of the earlier novels I wrote: Fine as Frog Hair. Did you know that's an expression? I first heard it from BA Tortuga, and new it would make a great title. And you know me and titles, we're not fast friends at all - in fact that's an understatement, titles are the hardest part of writing! - so if I have a title before I have a book, I have to run with it!

Fine As Frog Hair follows Russ as he sets out to see America and finds something even better in Trey, a true cowboy and all around good folks. Russ and Trey have a wonderful guy next-door quality, taking their romance one step at a time, but when sparks fly it heats up fast, and we’re swept right along with them. These two have it all, from laughter to heartache to the hottest sex West of the Mississippi, all the while proving that while life isn’t perfect, it’s just fine by them. Fine as frog hair.

Somewhat Smutty (and seasonal!) Excerpt:

They finished their coffee, Trey's hand still just touching him as they listened to carols playing on the radio. He reached for a cookie and nibbled at it. The sugar was sweet in his mouth and on his lips and he licked them and his fingers to clean them.

A soft moan split the air, Trey's touches stuttering. He glanced up, fingers still in his mouth. It wasn't until he saw the look in Trey's eyes that he realized how suggestive what he was doing was. His cheeks colored.

Trey blushed dark. "I'm sorry... It's just... You're so sexy, Russ..."

"Me?" He shook his head. "Now you, with those long legs and that sweet little butt? You're the sexy one."

Trey's eyes went wide and those cheeks got darker. "You like my butt? Russ... You... You're a damned fine man."

His own cheeks were hot enough he was sure they were going to be starting a fire any minute now. He stood up. "Floor's getting awful hard." Not to mention it was awfully far away from Trey.

"There's room by me." Trey patted the sofa.

"I was hoping there would be."

He set his cup on the little side table that held the lamp and sat next to Trey, right next to him. His hand landed on Trey's knee and he stroked softly.

Trey put his mug down, too, hand sliding around his waist. "Can I kiss you?"

"Yes, please, Trey." He leaned forward, meeting Trey halfway.

Their lips met, Trey's tongue sliding into his mouth so carefully. Coffee and sugar and whiskey and cream and cinnamon -- Trey tasted just like Christmas. He sucked lightly on Trey's tongue, need expanding in his belly and rushing down into his balls. A low noise slipped into his mouth, Trey's hand tightening on his waist, pulling him closer. He could feel Trey all along his side and their legs were pressed together. He put his arm around Trey's shoulders, holding on, staying close. They fit together well; Trey's body was warm and relaxed, not soft, though, the muscles firm against him.

Russ lost himself in the kisses, in the way Trey's mouth fit against his, in the tastes and scents that were Trey. One of Trey's hands slid around the nape of his neck, massaging, rubbing, making him melt. He wasn't a virgin, had made out with guys before, but he couldn't ever remember kissing feeling so good, so amazing.

Trey leaned back a little, breathing a little quick, dark eyes almost black. "You taste good."

He nodded. "So do you. Better than anything I've ever tasted." He brought their mouths together again. "I don't want to stop kissing you."

There's a smutty excerpt here from my smuterday post, and here's another one right here.

Smutty Excerpt:

Dick went through the leather costumes on the bed, trying to figure which one to try on first. Ralph had dropped them off earlier so he could find something for the Mardi Gras party they were going to next week.

And no one was home, making it the perfect opportunity.

He was half in this contraption, all straps and metal rings, when he thought he heard the door.

Nothing happened for a few minutes, then he heard something hit the floor. Rig was standing in the doorway, briefcase at his feet, blinking. "Jesus Christ. You... Oh, Pretty..."

His cheeks heated and fuck, he was too old to be getting all nervous and hot-cheeked like that, but all he was wearing was the leather separating his balls from his cock, holding both tight, and the... he supposed it was a harness, though it wasn't quite on right. He thought maybe the straps at the bottom were supposed to go around his thighs.

It really was more than a little... perverse.

Of course, when a fresh-from-work, still in his suit Rig just stumbled up to him and dropped to those skinny knees, mouth sinking over his cock?

Perverse wasn't a bad thing.

"Fuck... oh fuck." He moaned, legs spreading just a bit so he didn't topple over. Fuck, that felt good.

Rig was moaning, mouth working his prick like it had been days, those white curls bobbing furiously. He was maybe going to have to keep this one... It was his last thought before he came, Rig just Hoovering the spunk right out of him.

Rig drank him down, then kept sucking, hands tracing the leather, his skin, gray eyes hot and bright as they looked up at him.

He smiled down, fingers stroking through Rig's curls. "So you like this one?"

Rig blinked, staring up. "There's more?"

He chuckled and nodded back at the bed. "Ralph dropped off a bunch so we could try them on for that party. You're supposed to wear this under your shirt and pants, right?"

Rig laughed, mouth moving over his belly. "I reckon. There's no way Rock's letting you out of the house like this."

He snorted. "No way I'm letting me out of the house like this." He stroked Rig's cheek, traced the man's lower lip. "Of course, I might start walking around the house like this..."

"Oh, I could fucking vote for that." His fingers were drawn into that warm mouth, sucked gently.

"Me, too," he whispered, cock jerking as Rig loved on his fingers.

Rig's eyes got darker, hotter, a low sound vibrating his fingers.

"Well would you fucking look at that. It's a fucking porno, right in my own bedroom!" Rock's voice was thick, husky.

Remembrance Day 2014

To all the veterans of all the wars and, this year especially, those who were killed here at home - we remember.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

John McCrae - May 1915

Author Spotlight Tuesday - Katherine Halle

I have the lovely Katherine Halle in the spolight again today -- she has a new release with Dreamspinner to share.

What is your favorite thing about Fixing the Hole?

Hmm, probably that it's such a sweet story. Very little angst in this one.

In general, are you a morning person or an evening person?

Oooh, that's a tough one. I have an internal alarm clock that wakes me up about 0530-0600 just about every morning. But I don't necessarily WANT to be up at that time. There are days I get up and get on my Mac and get quite a bit accomplished. So I guess I'm a morning person? But I used to be a night owl. Used to be able to stay up late and work on things, now though, most days I'm so tired I end up in bed asleep before midnight. /o\

When is your best writing time?

Really anytime I can have unbroken, uninterrupted time. I can write in the morning, in the afternoon, but usually not at night because I'm just too tired LOL. 

Salty or sweet?

To quote Cordelia Chase from Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer…"Hello salty goodness."  But then there's this, "There is nothing that cannot be solved by chocolate."  So both?  :D

What is your favorite comfort food?

Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. Or baked steak, mashed potatoes and gravy. What can I say, my grandmother was from the South, I grew up on good Southern food :D

What inspired you to write Fixing the Hole?

Well, I actually wrote it for the Snow On The Roof anthology but it wasn't accepted. However, the email I received said the editor liked the story so much that she wanted me to expand it to novella length and resubmit it. So I did. The rest is history :D

Deep or shallow?

Oh well, isn't this a naughty question ;p Depends on the circumstances both have their advantages.

How many contractors does it take to change a lightbulb?

None. They don't change lightbulbs – they hire other people to do that.

Hot or Cold?

Hmm, I'm gonna say cold, I'd much prefer to wear layers then sweat to death. Oh wait, you meant…ha ha ha ha definitely cold then ;p

Are you handy with a hammer?

Yup, comes with the territory of being a Navy wife. I can fix a toilet, hook up all our electronics, unclog a sink, change a tire, all that good stuff. I'm the handyman AND the nurse around our house :D

Who was easier to write, Steve or Riley?

I actually enjoyed writing both. Riley is such a chatterbox, it was easy to get into the groove of his speech pattern and just go. And Steve, quiet, insecure, Steve, getting into his head was a breeze. The self-doubt practically wrote itself.

Are Steve and Riley grow-ers or show-ers?

HA HA another dirty question you little minx! I believe Steve is a grow-er, it totally fits his personality, plus you always have to watch out for the quiet ones…they tend to be wildcats in bed ;p  As for Riley – a little bit of both? He doesn't grow as much as Steve because he already starts out showing some ;p

Can you share a few sexy lines from your release?

Hoping the sun was giving him just as many problems as me and that his rapid-fire monologue would distract him, I shifted my gaze from his sunglasses and gave an appraising glance up and down his body. Same jeans as yesterday, so his thigh muscles were easily on display along with just a glimpse of his nicely toned ass.

“See something you like?”

“Wh-what?” I stuttered out, almost choking on my tongue. My face flared red with mortification at the knowledge that he’d caught me staring. This was definitely one of those moments where I sincerely hoped—prayed—that the ground would open up underneath me and swallow me whole. But of course it didn’t and Riley moved closer.

I shoved the coffee at him. Luckily his hand closed around it before I spilled it all over his shirt.

“You made me coffee again,” he said, his smile taking over his face before he closed his eyes to take a first sip.

He moaned in appreciation and I groaned in response. The sound he made went straight to my dick, which decided to sit up and take notice, as if I needed its input.

I watched him down the coffee and set the cup behind me on the step. “Thanks for the coffee. It was delicious; makes me wonder if everything you touch is equally as delicious.”

The heat in my cheeks deepened. It made me jealous of Riley’s sun-kissed skin, because then I could have at least excused the ruddy tinge on too much sun. Of course, now I imagined touching his skin, tasting it, and proving his theory correct. He would definitely be delicious.

"I'm gonna get started. Feel free to watch as much as you want. You know, to make sure you're getting your money's worth."

Heavy rains and strong winds slammed an uprooted tree through Steve Crowell’s roof, leaving a gaping hole to match the one in his heart. After his ex left him for a younger man, Steve’s not sure he’s ready to handle another disaster. His best friend highly recommended the contractor, but the man’s already late, and when he shows up with his music thumping, Steve isn’t impressed—until Riley steps out of his pickup truck. Personable, gorgeous Riley talks a mile a minute, which Steve finds both ridiculously endearing and terrifying. Piecing together a heart isn’t as easy as fixing a roof, but Riley might just be the right man for the job.

Katherine Halle is known as the “Queen of Happy Endings.” She firmly believes that no matter what the obstacles, what the struggles, or how much angst is involved in the journey, that the ending should always be a happy one.

Katherine’s love of the written word started at a very early age with repeated demands of “read to me” to any who would listen. It was only natural that writing would follow. As a child, she could often be found daydreaming, thinking up fanciful stories and writing them down. Now she does it on a laptop. Much faster.

Katherine’s favorite animal is her dog. She likes books, movies, and quirky television shows, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Hart of Dixie. She loves cooking and watching cooking shows. She has lived in both Europe and the United States and loved both. When she’s not writing or plotting, 

Katherine enjoys spending her time listening to music, reading books written by other people, and being with her family.

Smuterday - Jarheads Style

9 of the Jarheads short stories will be out on Wednesday in a little anthology collection called Everyday Stories.  I thought it would be nice for them to get a turn at Smuterday.

Here they are, without further ado.

Steamy Jarheads Excerpt:

Rock kept working his nipples, mouth moving from one to the other and occasionally heading south to lick at his navel, or his hips. And all the while Dick's hand moved over him, his Pretty's breath hot on his neck as one sucking kiss after another was left there. It didn't take too long before he shot, moaning as he sprayed Dick's fingers with his spunk.

Rock's head popped up, that shit-eating grin back. "Slut."

"Uh-huh. Yours."

Dick laughed, hands sliding to cup his balls, and then to card through his pubes. "We're gonna shave you now," he whispered. "Me and Rock." There was a note of excitement in Dick's voice, hips pushing against his ass, jeans and the prick behind them rubbing.

"Hmm? What've y'all been up to?" His head was all loose on his neck, just bobbly and wobbly.

"It's the kid’s idea." Still, Rock was the one setting out the razor, making sure they had extra blades for it, finding the shaving cream.

"Been too long since we saw that tattoo," murmured Dick, fingers pushing his pubes this way and that, showing the black beneath them.

"Y'all are pervs." His cock jerked, trying to think about recovering.

Rock snorted, hand wrapping around his cock and pumping it a few times, encouraging that recovery. "We're not the ones with a tattoo'd dick."

"I was drunk. It was the Philippines. What else was I supposed to do?"

"Pine for your marines." Rock gave his cock one last stroke, winking at him. Behind him Dick was swallowing his laughter, body shaking against him.

"Pine for my..." He chuckled, shook his head. "I'll kick both your asses. You've seen the ink."

"Not in ages." Dick turned his head and took a kiss, tongue pushing deep as Dick rubbed against his ass. Rig sort of forgot anything but that kiss, especially when his Blue started touching him again, loving on him.

"Okay, let’s do this," growled Rock. "Before I decide I'd rather just have a blow job."

"No, let’s do it -- that way you get this and a blowjob, Rock."

"You're bartering with my mouth, Pretty." Not that he minded; it was a pride thing.

Dick grinned and nuzzled into his neck. "Actually, I don't remember specifying who was going to give him the blowjob. Only who was going to get it." Dick's lips wandered up to his ear and his Pretty whispered. "I'll give it to him while you fuck me with that gorgeous cock of yours all bare."

Jesus, when did Dick get so good at that?

"Oh, sweet fuck."

He could feel Dick's grin against his skin.

"Are you two lovebirds about ready to move this along?" growled Rock impatiently.

Dick’s grin turned into a chuckle. "How do you want it, Rig? I could sit on the can with you in my lap."

"Perv. You'd get all hairy."

"Maybe, but I'll have a lapful of you and that's pretty good trade."

Rock rolled his eyes. "Sit. Now. Both of you."

"Bossy old man." He leaned over, took Rock's lips in a hard, hungry kiss.

Rock opened right up for him, rumbling right into his mouth. Oh, hell yes. He dove into it, just giving Rock all he had. He didn't even notice they were moving until he landed in Dick's lap, Rock's mouth still locked onto his. He got himself settled, hands sliding over Rock's shoulders, just holding on. Blue's hands slid over him, and his legs were spread, ankles hooked around his Pretty's calves.

Breaking the kiss, Rock grinned at him. "Look at you."

"You mean this skinny old cowboy?" He grinned right back, winked. Sexy fucker.

Rock frowned and looked around. "You see a skinny old cowboy here, kid?"

"Nope. Just you, me and Rig."

Rock grunted, nodded and smiled at him. "You hear that? Nobody old here."

Rig just reached up, touched Rock's face. "I hear you, Marine."

Those eyes held his for a moment and then Rock waggled his eyebrows. "All right, let’s get this show on the road. Someone's about to lose some hair."

Dick cheered and slid warm hands down to Rig's inner thighs, stroking.

"Y'all are big muscly pervs."

Rock chuckled. "Yeah, because you're not enjoying this. At all." Rock bopped his prick gently, making the hard flesh bob.

"It's just being polite, paying attention." He leaned back, Dick laughing and shaking against him.

"Polite..." Rock snorted and then laughed, too.

TGIF!

It's Friday! Another week flown by. At least I stopped waking up at 5:15 this morning (thank you time change for screwing me up!) 6:30 has never looked so good! I'm hoping to get that moved up to at least 7 over time, but for now, I'll take it. It's all relative, isn't it?

I've got a couple of things to share today.

Check it out!











Also today The Piercer's Game is available at Totally Bound for early download!

This is the last book of the Chess series, featuring the Luke the piercer, who made a cameo in the foursome's story. Even though he isn't onscreen for long, he stuck with me!

Luke sees a lot in his job as a piercer, but for all that, he’s shy and lonely. Can live-in-the-moment Temple open his eyes to life’s pleasures?

Luke’s a piercer and owns a successful business with his tattooing partner. Despite his job and his inked and pierced appearance, Luke is actually quite shy and lonely, not to mention inexperienced. An event from his past has left him unable to open up completely to anyone and it’s easier for him to just keep to himself.

Temple is a cancer survivor, coming up on five years cancer free. He’s travelling across North America on the back of his motorcycle, just going where the wind blows him. Ever since first being diagnosed, he turned into a true believer of living in the moment.

When Temple first turns up at Luke’s shop, Temple is immediately drawn to the quiet piercer. First he’s going to have to convince Luke that there’s something between them…then he’s going to have to work his way past Luke’s defences.

Get it today at Totally Bound (it'll be available at all the distributors later in the month.)

Shibari Auction House: Brent out today!

The follow up to Shibari Auction House: Joel is out today at Changeling Press!

Six months ago, Joel auctioned himself off to the highest bidder for a no holds barred subbing contract. Intrigued, Brent bought the contract and the two began a magical journey of discovery together. Now that the contract is almost up, will Brent and Joel go their separate ways? Or have they found something together that is far more than either of them could have hoped for?

Shibari Auction House: Brent is available here.

There's also an excerpt on the book's Changeling page, but I know you all want a steamy one, right? Right. This picks up shortly after this one ends.

Steamy excerpt:

“Washing dishes...” It didn’t really sound like a complaint.

“You’re almost done,” Brent pointed out.

“Almost.” There was a single pasta pot left.

Brent stripped off his clothes, then stepped back up close to Joel, their bodies touching, rubbing.

“Master.” The pot was rinsed, put on the rack.

“Yes?” Brent started rocking them, his prick sliding along Joel’s ass. This man drove him to distraction, made him want. Made him need more than anyone ever had.

“Yes.” The single word was full of satisfaction, Joel’s voice becoming thick.

“Yes.” Brent nodded, mouth sliding against Joel’s neck.

Finding a spot, he bit at Joel’s skin, then began sucking. Reaching around, he flicked Joel’s sweet, ringed nips. These rings had been the first thing he’d added, Joel screaming for him. And coming. It had been a glorious tug of war between their wills, between pain and pleasure and need and pure, beautiful stubbornness.

The Prince Albert had been next. That had been the nipple rings times a hundred, times a thousand.

Then they’d started with the tattoos. Each beautiful line had been discussed, traced first with fingers, then drawn by the artist and finally inked in with needles and pain. The end result was so beautiful.

Now Joel was his, head to toe.

“Dishes are done.” And Joel was hard, so eager for him, for his touch, his will.

“Excellent.” He let his hand drop down and grab Joel’s leather-wrapped cock. The sound at the tip went in deep, piercing the sweet cock.

He tapped the tip, then reached down for Joel’s balls. Sweet, bare nuts. So sensitive, so delicate.
“I’m going to whip these tonight.” He’d never done that before, only ever dragged the whip and flogger across them. But he had a new whip, small and soft. Perfect for the job.

Joel whimpered for him, balls wrinkling in Brent’s hand. His boy’s body vibrated, like Joel didn’t know whether to push forward or pull back. Joel no doubt wanted both.

Humpday!

Happy Hump Day to you all.

If you didn't get a chance to read all about the sparkly winged elves of spunky goodness yesterday, check out the chat posted yesterday at Cafe Risque.

There's a naughty sneak peek of my November 30th release No Regrets over on the Amber Quill Press blog.

Over on the All Romance Ebooks bestseller list, Special Teams has climbed back up to #11, while Living the Dream is at #17 and Velvet Diamonds is at #24. I have to give a shout-out to you my readers, because it is totally down to you. I love writing; I've always said it's the best job in the world, but the fact that people want to read what I write is what makes it special. So thank you, I appreciate you all very much.

Speaking of appreciating my readers. It's gearing up to be that time again. If you would like a holiday card from me -- please send me your snail mail address with to seanmichaelwrites @ gmail . com (without those pesky spaces) and I'll put you on my naughty list for a Christmas card. Please put Xmas Card in the subject line so I try to stay organized (Ha!) Still, I can try ;)

The sixth and final book in the Chess series - The Piercer's Game - will be available for early download at Totally Bound on November 7! You can already pre-order it so it's waiting for you on Friday. The general release for this at the distributors is December 5.

Luke sees a lot in his job as a piercer, but for all that, he’s shy and lonely. Can live-in-the-moment Temple open his eyes to life’s pleasures?

Luke’s a piercer and owns a successful business with his tattooing partner. Despite his job and his inked and pierced appearance, Luke is actually quite shy and lonely, not to mention inexperienced. An event from his past has left him unable to open up completely to anyone and it’s easier for him to just keep to himself.

Temple is a cancer survivor, coming up on five years cancer free. He’s travelling across North America on the back of his motorcycle, just going where the wind blows him. Ever since first being diagnosed, he turned into a true believer of living in the moment.

When Temple first turns up at Luke’s shop, Temple is immediately drawn to the quiet piercer. First he’s going to have to convince Luke that there’s something between them…then he’s going to have to work his way past Luke’s defences.

Find it here.


Happy Humping Day to you all -- have a good one!

Author Spotlight Tuesday - Lily Vega

Today I have Lily Vega in the author spotlight!

What is your favorite genre to write?

I love to write paranormal romance, because of the creative freedom with supernatural characters.  It's fun to let the muse play and see what ends up on the page, especially with steamier tales. The best part is when a story takes a turn I hadn't expected and it makes sense with the plot.

Devils or angels?

Devils of course. I'm a huge Supernatural fan and I find the demons way more interesting than the angels. In the Devil May Care trilogy, the demons have sexual enhancements when they do the nasty in their natural form. It adds a fun kink factor to those scenes.

Black and white or all the colors of the rainbow?

All the colors of the rainbow. I enjoy reading the rainbow. It's fantastic to find great stories that feature gay and lesbian characters. I've been adding LGBT characters to several of my works in progress. Also, the theme of the Devil May Care trilogy is that there really is no cut and dried white or black; good or bad.

What is your favorite time waster?

Social Media (Facebook and Twitter) and video games. My favorite games are the shooter games with zombies, but I admit to loving the dancing and cheerleader games even though I lack coordination. It scares me that my xBox Kinect takes pictures while I’m playing.

Hard or soft?

Hard all the way.

Long or thick?

This is a tough one. I’m going with thick.

Which character was harder to write - Natalie or Ben?

Ben was harder to write because I had a sense of Natalie from the first book of the trilogy. When I finished writing Devil Inside, I needed to tell Nat’s story. She has a small part in the first book, but her issues with demons have really messed with her ex-husband Blake’s psyche. I love that she’s learning to accept demons and ends up with a brand new demon problem in the second book. It was fun to show her point of view on her relationship with Blake and his new lady love, Arianna. Sean, I love that Joel and Brent’s story continues in your new release in the Shibari Auction House series. (Thank you, Lily!)

How many demons does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

If Xanthe could shrink herself and a bunch of her friends, she’d be all over having a demon orgy in a light bulb. The more the merrier. She’d pack it like a clown car. She’s a lust demon, so I think she’d like the challenge and the exhibitionism factor.

Sunrise or sunset?

Sunset. I'm a creature of the night. If it wasn’t for coffee, I’d be screwed.

Abs or glutes?

Glutes. I’m with Flash in that I love a good “end”.

What's the sexiest food/meal?

Sushi. Especially when served on a gorgeous naked body. Of course Sixx would say whipped cream.

Do you procrastinate more at the beginning, middle, end of a story, or not at all?

The end of the story because I want to give the reader a great resolution and if possible inject a little humor.

Can you share some sexy lines from The Devil You Know?

Goddess, he felt so good, but she refused to let this experience ruin any chance of finding happiness with another man. This was like helping move a couch or mailing a letter. Just a favor for a friend.

Despite her mental efforts, her body betrayed her, reacting to Ben's hands, Ben's lips, Ben's cock. She had it wrong. If she was going to become addicted to something it would be to Ben and the pleasure he gave her.

Natalie Owens agrees to perform a sex magic ritual to help her crush, dreamy Ben Nixon, summon a familiar. Being just friends with Ben after a night of magically enhanced sex will be next to impossible, but the hot steamy encounter might be enough to stop her ex-husband's new fiancée from playing matchmaker.

But instead of a familiar, they summon a naked lust demon -- who seems to know Natalie.

The Devil You Know comes out on Thursday from Changeling Press!

My God It's Monday

Man, the Monday after the time change feels like Monday on steroids! A time change hangover. 

Today I was listening to auditions for the audiobook of Cupcakes. Firstly, how cool is it that Cupcakes is going to be an audiobook? Pretty damn cool :) Secondly, I thought this was going to be easy, but man, it's much harder than advertised. Who knew? I do now.

This week I have a release on Thursday -- the next Shibari Auction House is coming out from Changeling Press!

Brent is the follow up story to Joel.

Six months ago, Joel auctioned himself off to the highest bidder for a no holds barred subbing contract. Intrigued, Brent bought the contract and the two began a magical journey of discovery together. Now that the contract is almost up, will Brent and Joel go their separate ways? Or have they found something together that is far more than either of them could have hoped for?

It'll be available on Thursday November 6 at Changeling Press!

And next week is the release of the collection of Jarheads short stories -- 9 of them gathered in one spot! The collection is called Everyday Stories.

This collection brings together nine Sean Michael short stories that follow the everyday lives of everyone’s favorite Jarheads: Rock, Rig and Dick. Whether working in the garden, fooling around with paint, or just plain fooling around, nobody loves like these two Marines and their Nurse.

All stories previously published by Torquere Press:

Re-Sounding Love

Boys at Play

Hot and Pink

Just Perfect

Loving Away the Grumps

One Lucky Fucking Redneck

Possessor and Possessed

Rig and the Gym Bunnies

Working Late 

It'll be out November 12 from Torquere Press.

I have lots of books coming out in December, but I'm going to wait a bit to tell you all about them. (insert evil laugh here).

I hope everyone has a good week!
