Throwback Thursday - The Hammer Club Series

Today only the Hammer Club novels are on sale - there's a 25% rebate over on All Romance Ebooks. I believe the sale ends at midnight (central time) tonight. So I thought it made the perfect opportunity to make the Hammer Club books my Throwback Thursday for this week.

I've mentioned before but the whole Hammer Club grew out of a tiny cameo that Jim and Marcus had in a short story set in the Between Friends universe. Peter and Sammy visit a friend of Peter's who is a leather artist to pick out a whip and Jim answers the door. And BAM! I knew I had to write Jim and his master's story. You can find that short story here: Testing Leather. (The Between Friends books are the first series listed on my book page.)

So Bent was the first book I wrote and the guys just wouldn't shut up. It's a long one and every now and then the guys poke me to write the rest of their story. I think if I let them, I could be writing them for the rest of my life. Not a bad thing, I just haven't had a chance to do anything like that yet. Too many men, too little time!

Sidenote - Bent is one of my favorite covers ever. It's just perfect.

When Montana and Billy showed up, they took place well before the events of Bent - Tanny and Jim are close in age, but Billy found Montana when he was 18, while Marcus found Jim when he was in his late twenties.

Most of the other books all take place after Bent and can be safely read in the order they were written. The notable exception is Push, which takes place shortly after the Montana and Billy books, and Drawn takes place before Montana and Billy. But at the same time, I don't think reading them out of order would leave anyone confused, aside of course from the three Montana and Billy books that have to be read in order - Found, Snared and Owned.

Then there's the two side series that the Hammer Club inspired - the Briar Rose books, which follow from Sold - Adam and Matt go to the east coast and start their BDSM B&B (say that ten times fast!) - and the Box of Nails books which came out of the idea in Trust that the workers at the Hammer Club are often not very well off and the cheaper areas to live around the club aren't the best neighborhoods, so when Devin came into some money, he bought this big old dilapidated house near the club and turned it into the 'sub house' where Hammer Club subs could find cheap, safe lodging and have like-minded boys to share their off-time with.

Needless to say, I will be forever grateful for that little cameo by Jim and Marcus.

Hell, the Between Friends series began when I got this flash of an image in my head of two couples sitting on the couch talking about their love life and it spawned four novels. I suppose that's really where it all began!

Anyway as I'm often asked about a reading order, I thought I'd give one here. As I always say, I'd start with Bent, even though it isn't the first chronologically, just because it was the first one I wrote and I think it works well as an introduction to the series. From there, I'd work chronologically. If I were to place Bent in chronologically, it would go after Push.

Smutterday - The Briar Rose: Blended Family

And one last smutterday entry -- it has been a week since I last posted and I missed smutterday yesterday, so this should make up for such things...

The Briar Rose: Blended Family

Matt and Adam are back and this time they’re welcoming two established Master/sub pairs who want to play together. Without ruining their friendship.

Subs Peter and Max have been best friends forever, since before they met their masters. They were lovers once, but both men needed the influence of a Dom to stay on an even keel. Happily in love with their masters, Devon and Swan, the boys nonetheless want more.

Devon and Swan care deeply for each other and are willing to give becoming something more a try and the Briar Rose seems like the perfect place to give it a go. As neutral ground, if things go wrong, they should be able to put the whole thing behind them and go back to their lives as simply friends.

Can Devon, Peter, Swan, and Max become the blended family they yearn to be?

smutty excerpt:

Max and Peter kissed, their cocks rubbing together. Peter pushed him toward the bed, dropping hot, hungry kisses all over his face. Max sat down, pulled Peter along with him. Peter straddled him and suddenly they were in the same position they'd been out on the balcony. Moaning, Peter touched his nipples.

"Oh. Ache. They ache, Peter."

"They're so hot, Maxie. You should get them pierced."

He touched Peter's nipple, the gold ring so smooth. "My master likes them like they are."

Peter pushed him back onto the bed and licked at the right one, tongue gentle, but hot, making them ache even more. Max moaned and bucked a little, then spread to offer his hole to Peter's cock.

"We should make it last," Peter suggested.

"So long as you touch me."

"I'm going to touch you all over."

Peter kissed him again, fingers dragging on his skin. Max did the same, remembering the hot spot in the hollow of Peter's throat, the curve of his elbow, the small of his back. Peter jerked and moaned, rubbed against him.

He forgot about their audience, about anything but the touching, the fun, the joy. Peter was his first love, his best friend. It was a little bit like magic, getting this back again.

They licked and nibbled, and he explored the rings in Peter's nipple, the one in the tip of his cock. One day he might get one, if he could still have his jewelry, his plugs. He loved the way Peter gasped when he touched the ring in his cock.

"Is it good?"

"God yes. Tug it."

So Max pulled, sure but steady.

Peter's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he moaned.

"I'm going to feel that, inside me."

Peter whimpered for him. "Oh God, yes. Please. I haven't felt that in so long."

"Take me? Please."

"I need lube, honey."

A bottle of it landed on the bed beside them.

"Thanks!" Peter beamed at Max. "Spread 'em, Max!"

Peter made him laugh, so hard.

Max spread his legs for Peter, eager to feel that ring inside him. His laughter faded as Peter's fingers pressed in deep, stretching him. Peter touched his cock with his other hand, fingers outlining his shape. He reached up and arched, bowing up off the bed. Moaning, Peter pushed his fingers in deeper, and the sound was echoed by their masters.

"Please." So good. So very good.

"Touch me, Max? I need to be more slippery."

"Uh-huh. Lube. Please. Lube."

Peter passed him the bottle, grinning at him. "You're all needy and shit."

"I am. Your fault!"

"Guilty as charged!" He slicked his fingers and got Peter good and wet.

"Okay, okay, stop!" Peter laughed, pulling away from his touch. "You're gonna make me pop."

"Not until you take me." He tugged Peter's balls.

"Hey!"

"You said you were close!"

"Boys." Devon's voice was stern.

Peter started giggling. Max started laughing, too, because this was neat, joyful. Real.

"Okay, I'm not gonna pop so fast now." Peter pushed his legs apart.

Max moaned softly and spread wide, grabbing his knees.

"Been so long," murmured Peter.

"Uh-huh. Love you. Still."

"Always, Maxie."

Peter's long cock pushed at his hole, the head popping in. Peter moaned, the look on his face pure bliss.

"Our beautiful boys," murmured Devon.

"Perfect," Swan answered.

smutty excerpt:

Devon shifted and Peter could feel the effect that his touches were having on his master.

"Randy master." Devon needed touch, connection.

Devon nodded his agreement. "Your touch always makes me need."

"I won't complain." Peter touched Devon's belly, tugging at the soft fabric of the t-shirt.

"Are you trying to distract me or are you feeling a little better about our being here?" Devon asked.

"I'm trying to love you." He wasn't sure which of those answers were right.

"You do that without trying." Devon grabbed his hand and nibbled on his fingertips. "Are you feeling better about our being here, or do we need to talk some more?"

"I just want to do. I'm not Max. I don't have to talk for hours."

His master laughed, then kissed him, that happy sound filling Peter's mouth and his lungs. He turned, straddling Devon's thighs, holding on tight. Devon's hands landed on his ass, rolling him so they rubbed together. He slid along Devon's long, heavy cock, making sure to touch all along the way.

"So good, boy." Devon worked a hand into the back of his jeans, fingers sliding along his ass.

"I want to be, Master. So good."

"You always do your best. You make me so proud." Devon squeezed his ass, one finger pressing into his hole.

He bore back, eager for the touch. "I want you. I could ride you."

"You could." Oh, his master was feeling mellow, letting him lead.

"I'll have to go get the lube."

"You will. Then you can bend over the bed and open yourself up for me."

He groaned, considering whether he would just take Devon in dry. Devon's hand slid out of his pants and a swat landed on his butt.

"Go on, boy. Do as you're told. Oh, and take your time as you get undressed." Devon smiled. "You can get me naked first, if you want."

"Bossy old man," Peter teased.

"That's why you love me."

"Part of it, yeah." Peter helped Devon get his shirt off.

"Only part?" Devon teased, tossing the shirt onto the bed.

"Yes. Part of it is that you love weird old books. Part of it is the way you eat ice cream."

"And how do I eat ice cream?" Devon asked before licking his lips suggestively.

"With your whole soul. Like you're making love to it."
