The Bohemians now out!

The Bohemians is the last of the reprints from the Bus Stories and Other Tales anthology that Torquere will be re-releasing. There's a couple other fairly short stories that were in it, and I may self-publish those, but this is the last of the longer pieces.

The Bohemians

Topaz is a free-spirit, loving easily, though searching for his true soul-mate. As soon as he meets Quincy, he realizes this is the man who has been calling for him in his dreams and he offers his whole self, body, heart, mind and soul, without thought.

Quincy gives away his heart too easily, and has been hurt in love more than once. Still, that doesn’t stop him from falling head over heels for Topaz when he first meets the man.

It seems like a match made in heaven, but Topaz lives with two men who are his best friends, and also his lovers. Will Quincy ever be able to understand that Topaz has more than enough love in his heart for his best friends and his soul-mate, or will Topaz’s bohemian ways be too much for Quincy to understand?

smutty excerpt:

Topaz had shown Quincy the loom, the wall hangings. He'd shown off the yarn room and the little niche where Moira and her kittens slept. He'd shown the long circular stairway leading up into his bower.

His room was a riot of blues and greens, a nest, really. The bed took up three-quarters of the room, piled high with blankets and pillows, surrounded by a hand-woven green netting, dried herbs woven into the cloth.

His clothes and books were kept in handmade baskets, strewn over the floor. The effect was peaceful, oceanic and quiet. Beautiful. His.

Almost as beautiful as those sweet eyes.

"This is my room, Gemini."

"Wow, it certainly is different -- colorful." Quincy wandered around, glancing into the baskets.

"It's a good place." He relaxed against the doorframe, watching Quincy look. The baskets on the walls held crystals and herbs, CDs and candles, little pieces of pottery and his pincushion collection.
Quincy turned to him and smiled. "It suits you."

"Is that a good thing?" He smiled back, moving toward Quincy. "Can I have my kiss now?" He'd been very patient and very good and he was very tired of waiting.

"Only if it can be more than just a kiss." Quincy's eyes were dark, lids heavy.

"As much as you want, Gemini. I want you." Topaz moved into Quincy's arms, lifting up for a kiss.

Quincy's hand slid along his cheek into his hair, mouth lowering slowly, as if his Gemini were savoring the moments leading to their first real kiss. Finally their lips were together, Quincy's mouth pressing and warm. The softest sound left him, happiness flooding him in a warm, sweet wave. Oh. Oh, sweet heaven. Was this what they felt, Ku and Daisy? Quincy moaned, hands wrapping around his arms and pulling him closer. A warm tongue parted his lips, Quincy pressing into his mouth.

He pushed against Quincy's body, lips parting to give Quincy a taste. Strawberries. Quincy tasted sweet and tart and just like strawberries.

"Oh God, Topaz... you taste..." Quincy whimpered and pulled him closer still, the long body warm and welcoming. Quincy was warm and soft, hair tickling his fingers. They shared another kiss, this time Topaz got to explore, finding that those white-white bottom teeth only looked perfect, one tilted just enough to be fascinating. He could feel Quincy's need blazing against his belly, felt the little whimpers before he heard them.

"Bed?" Topaz reached out, pulled the netting aside. He'd have asked something more sensible, but he just... couldn't.

"I don't... I didn't bring anything with me."

"I have some." He smiled at Quincy, loving those eyes. "No stress, Gemini. I just want to keep kissing you and you make my knees jiggly."

"Oh... I want more than kissing Topaz, I just didn't want to start something we couldn't finish." Quincy was breathless and flushed. "Kissing you makes me... not jiggly."

Oh. Oh, good. He laughed, crawling back into his nest and drawing Quincy into the silken softness. "I want you. I want to know everything about you."

"I'm yours," whispered Quincy. "Do with me as you will."

"I just want to know you in my soul, Gemini." Topaz moved into Quincy's arms, lips parting as their mouths met again. When Quincy deepened the kiss, he caught that hot tongue, sucking in counterpoint to the beating of their hearts.

Quincy's fingers moved to the buttons on his shirt, slowly undoing them, oh so slowly undoing them.

He moaned into Quincy's mouth, shivers rocking his body. He was hard and fluid all at once. Lost and focused. Needing and wanting. Magic.

At last Quincy pulled his shirt off, fingers beginning to explore, warm on his skin, leaving tingles wherever they touched.

When Quincy found the scar -- long and wide, running from his lower back, around his side and up to his rib cage -- those fingers traced it, following its path.

"What happened?" whispered Quincy, fingers so gentle.

"My kidney was malformed, rotten. That's why I'm so short." He smiled, pressing Quincy's hand over the spot. "It kept getting infected, so they took it out."

"So you only have one. Is that dangerous?" Quincy asked, lips sliding over his face.

"It's in good condition. I don't drink anything but juice, tea and water, stay healthy." He pulled back, letting Quincy see the design that was inked over the scar.

"Oh!" Quincy gasped, fingers tracing the tattoo now. "It's beautiful. It suits you."

"Oh..." He smiled, undulating under the touches. "Thank you. Oh... oh Quincy. That feels so good."

Quincy bent, tongue licking at the corner of his tattoo. He arched, a soft cry pushing out of his mouth. "Oh... Oh, so... so good."

He was pushed down onto his back, Quincy's mouth moving over his skin.

His toes curled, sensation shaking him. "Gemini. Your mouth. Your sweet mouth." He was babbling, pleasure too big for silence.

Quincy murmured against his skin, tongue licking, tracing the line of his scar.

Topaz was gasping, body thrumming for Quincy. No one had done this, no one ever touched it but Stephan and Leo. No one made it sexy.

"It's beautiful," Quincy told him. "You're beautiful. Taste good -- like a banana split." Quincy looked up at him, the blue eyes dark and happy.

"You taste like strawberries. Addictive." He reached for Quincy's shirt. "Let me see you?"

Quincy shivered and nodded.

Master Takes a Name now available!

When I started writing this one, I had no idea the characters would leap to life and be so noisy, but it's always wonderful when they do. So Kyle and Master L have a warm place in my heart.

And I love how the covers in the series are all integrated.

Master Takes a Name

Kael is happy with his life. A consummate sub, he’s out, proud, and surrounded by good friends. Then he hears about Master L, a new Dom who has all the twinks aflutter. Kael’s curious, but not unduly so, until he and the stud do a scene. Then he understands the commotion. But since Master L only ever tops a sub once, when it’s over Kael is determined to forget him, even if he has to go on holiday to do it.

Liam is deep in the closet, but the Dom known as Master L also has needs. So far, he’s kept his identity a secret by never choosing the same boy twice, and frequently changing venues. After his scene with Kael, Liam finds himself fixating on the sub and willing to break his one-time only rule. But will it lead to heartache or happiness?

Currently out at All Romance Ebooks!

smutty excerpt:

L gently took his wrist, eased it behind his back, slow and careful. The man hadn’t said a word, but it was clear L wanted him to trust that he wouldn’t fall, wouldn’t be dropped. Kael forced himself to relax, to prove that he could submit.

L bent him back farther, but the arms around him were solid, steady. His heartbeat sped, but he didn’t tense, he flowed. The kissing went on, L proving it was more than just a peck for show. This was a kiss with intent, not a game. L stole his breath, made him dizzy.

When their lips finally parted, L stared into his eyes, into him. He wasn’t sure how L wanted him to respond, so he waited.

L finally smiled and brought him back up to his feet, steadying him. “You have a calmness. A center.”

“I do. I have been finding my center for a long time.”

“Excellent. I might get a work out to actually push you.”

“We can try.” Man, this guy seemed so sad, somehow.

“That’s the idea, hmm?” L grabbed his hand and led him deeper into the room. In the center of it there was a leather covered bench, the padding soft, comfortable.

L began to undo the buttons on his shirt. “I’m going to strip you. Then I might put a ring on your cock and fill your ass with a plug. Or I might bend you over the bench and redden your ass. Or possibly whip your lovely back and put my marks on you.”

Promises, promises. “Yes, Sir.”

L got all his buttons undone, then pushed the shirt from his shoulders. The movements were slow and deliberate, L’s hands warm. The touch made Kael’s skin tingle, made it sing. L hummed, gaze following the fingers on his skin. There was an intensity here, and it was growing.

L didn’t hurry to remove his slacks, to do anything more than touch his belly, his chest. A light flick of one finger touched Kael’s right nipple. He chuckled softly, the little zing tickling him.

“Sensitive?” L flicked the other one.

“Mmmhmm. I don’t mind nipple play.”

L chuckled. “That’s a ringing endorsement.”

He grinned. “I’ve seen guys that could come from having their tits worked. I’ve seen men that didn’t have any feeling at all. I’m somewhere in the middle.”

“I’m into stimulating every part of a man’s body.”

L dragged his hand down along Kael’s chest to his belly. His abs drew up, his nipples and balls both tightening. L traced his ab muscles, fingers exploring his six pack before moving around to his back. Stroking his spine, L slowly moved his hands up. Kael moaned, stretched against L’s hands.

“You’ve got beautiful skin.” L spread his fingers wide, covering more area.

“Thank you, Sir.” That was nice to hear.

Cupping his shoulders and leaning him back, L bent to his chest, tongue flicking back and forth across his right nipple. The sensation started as a slight buzz, but when L didn’t stop, didn’t let up, the buzz became an ache.

Drawing back a little, L blew across his nipple, the warmth disappearing immediately as Kael’s wet flesh became cold. His nipple drew up, almost painfully tight.

L didn’t go to his other nipple, instead kissing his way down along Kael’s breastbone to his abdomen. He fought to stay upright. L growled a little, strong arms not shaking or shifting at all. The sound made him shiver, though, that was for sure. L had some natural sex appeal, a natural confidence.

“Submit, boy,” L demanded.

“I am.” Wasn’t he?

L shook his head. “Trust me to keep you from falling.”

“I’m not tiny.” He wasn’t a twink.

“And I know my own strength.”

Okay. Okay, he could handle that. He wasn’t going to fall. He tried to relax.

L scraped his teeth along Kael’s belly, making his skin sing. A soft sound escaped him, hiccupped out of him. That had L humming, the sound pleased. His ass muscles jerked, his thighs tight.

L slowly kissed his way back up, stopping to lightly bite Kael’s left nipple. That was a sweet, sharp sting that disappeared almost immediately. L pulled him up, making sure he was steady on his feet before working on his belt.

Movie Tuesday

Just saw a couple of movies over the last two weeks. One on Shomi (which is a netflix type service) and one on blu-ray.

The first was About a Boy. I'd seen it before, but like it a lot and was in the mood for it. Out of curiosity I checked the actor who played the boy in the movie on IMDB and found out he's in the new Mad Max, and was the lead in Warm Bodies -- pretty neat! But of course About a Boy was done in 2002, so he's all grown up now -- but it's neat to see.

I first saw the movie About a Boy a year or so before the tv show came on and while the tv show was cute, it had nothing on the movie. I still feel that way upon seeing the movie again.

The other movie is only recently out on blu-ray and that was Blackhat. It wasn't quite what I was expecting but it was okay. Of course I had been told by someone that they'd tried watching it but had given up around the forty minute mark. It wasn't that it was bad so much as not quite what I was expecting. Also it could have been intense and it simply wasn't.  I wonder if a part of the problem some movies are facing these days is that a lot of TV is getting more intense and can play out over a lot more than just two hours so movies have to be... well, more.

There's still a bunch of movies coming out this summer I want to see, stuff already out even, but the next one that I'm pretty sure I'll make the biggest effort to get to is Jurassic World. We shall see.

My God It's Monday

The calendar tells me it's the last week of May. I'm not sure how that has happened. Time goes faster all the time and frankly, I can't believe it's the end of another month, let alone that this is month five of the new year...

It was rainy day today, which really, we needed as it has been a not very rainy spring. I have baby bushes of raspberries and blackberries in the back that are needing the water to go with the sun. They all started out as sticks and have since become little bushes. Some even have flowers that means there will be fruit, which is really kind of cool.

This week is submission prep week as June 1 sees another bunch of deadlines coming up. So it's head down, working hard.

Of Love is on the coming soon page at Dreamspinner, which means you can preorder it!


Of Love

Free-spirited computer programmer Kent McMann loves life, candy, his family, and his job designing apps. With his go-getter attitude, he succeeds at anything he tackles. So having a child with a surrogate mother is the perfect start to the family he’s always wanted, even though he still hasn't found his longed-for Mr. Right.

Then, into Kent’s life comes triathlete Dex Lochland, who also happens to be a successful app designer, and the two of them hit it off. They soon begin a relationship full of fun, sex, laughter, and love. But when Kent learns his attempt at fatherhood with the surrogate has succeeded, Dex is shocked. Unknown to Kent until that moment, Dex has never wanted children.

Kent's decision before he met Dex might cost him the man of his dreams.

Out on June 24, Of Love is currently available to pre-order.


Monday out.

Palin leads a well-ordered life, needing peace and quiet after spending his days working as an information broker, reading minds for money. Which is why Tigre seems like such a strange choice for him as a lover.

Together they build a new life, one of pleasure and pain, of love and discipline. When life threatens to tear them apart, they fight to keep the home they’ve created, even if the obstacles they must overcome are within as much as without.

They’ve almost forgotten that someone doesn’t seem as happy with their closeness as they are, when Toby walks into his studio to find it trashed and his little apartment ransacked. Are the authorities going to be able to apprehend the culprit before Toby decides the best course of action is to remove himself from the equation?

Wednesday Book Day

The first 'grown up' books I can remember reading were my parents' Agatha Christie books. I loved these! Ms. Marple and Hercule Poirot were my heroes. They're a great place for young people to start in the genre of mystery - they're not graphic, they're not violent and they make you think as you try to work out who the killer is right along with Marple and Poirot. So they're appropriate for a younger audience. I think that's why I basically skipped over the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys type of books - I went from Encyclopidia Brown to Agatha Christie.

If I remember correctly, And Then There Were None was my first Agatha Christie and I quickly devoured the rest. If they weren't in the house, I would scour the library for them. You've got to love those "other books" listing at the front of the paperbacks.

Do you remember the way we used to find books in a library? There were these banks of little boxes that contained index cards. They were filled alphabetically and you'd look through them for your book (so if you didn't know the actual title you were kind of screwed,) and the card would give you the Dewey decimal number of the book and then you'd go find it. Or if you were just browsing, you'd go to the mystery section, for instance, where they were all filed and look at the books themselves, titles on all the spines... I haven't been inside a library in a dog's age. You can even get your electronic books at the library online these days.

So I was a real mystery buff and then I read The Hobbit and fantasy and sci-fi overtook mystery in my reading. Not that I gave the mystery up - I still enjoyed those, but they weren't at the top of my list anymore.

Maybe I ought to investigate - I know there's a bunch of Martha Grimes and PD James books that I haven't read yet... it'd be a great place to pick up again.
