Flash Friday Fiction #16


Happy Friday Everyone!!!

Are you ready for the flashing to begin????

So this Friday Flash Fiction is a number of talented authors getting together to describe a picture with just 100 words, not 101...not 99 - 100 hits the mark.

Enough idle chatter? Well if you say so...but I personally say I never can get enough...*smirks*

Ever want something or someone so bad that you don't think of what that might actually detail? Well Drake did…and I stress the 'did' part… 


Drake couldn't believe that he finally got Jez's attention. He was gonna slam her ass so good that she wouldn't remember any other guy ever. She'll come running to him and begging him for it.

He yanked her hair with one hand while lifting her little school-girl skirt with the other. She moaned and he tugged harder.

"Oh yeah baby, you'll feel this—"

He did a double take of her ass. What the fuck? He looked closer…and counted ten…maybe twenty guys' names tattooed across her cheeks…and three girls'.

Well fuck! So much for making her forget all the others.

*****************************************

Well…let's look at the bright side...at least she isn't rating them also—yeah, I'm gonna get a lightning bolt in my assets for going there *heads desk giggling*…oh-kay…*grabs your hand and makes the leap giggling* now for the fun part—let's blog hop to the next yummy morsel awaiting our presence!

Like a Virgin with Davee Jones...

When Davee Jones was like a virgin…

So…in honor of my first solo release coming out soon…I've decided to celebrate by talking to some very talented authors about their first solo release! *giggles* You see…it isn't all about me all the time…but I do love weaseling my way into the mix most of the time…heehee

Another Wednesday and another virgin story to deflower…*waggles eyebrows and giggles* I have a beautiful woman with me today that writes as hot as she is…I'm telling you—summer heat ain't got nothing on Davee Jones …and she's agreed to take us for a stroll On Ellicott Street while discussing her virgin days…*fans face* we need some external a/c happening here!

*grabs my basket of fresh baked goodies, fruits and wine* No…no I won't discuss where I got the yummies…I could have baked them myself…maybe…perhaps… *grabs Davee's hand and swings it between us as we walk down to the lake*…I thought the outdoors would be the perfect backdrop to discuss your debauched moments…heehee

*spreads the blanket…sits criss-crossed applesauced…pats seat extra close to me and smiles innocently* sooooo…want a cherry? What? I brought cherries *holds up the bag*

Let's start this off with the basics…tell us about your first ever release…and after that we can talk about On Ellicott Street…*blushes* just kidding…

Why did you decide to publish with Secret Cravings Publishing…was there something special there or just fate?
Fate, Havan, true divine intervention.
I became friends with Kellie Kamryn on Facebook. Kellie writes for Secret Cravings and I became interested in them after I read more about Kellie’s release, (Monkeys, Sex, and Other Birthday Surprises-gratuitous plug for Kellie) Anyway, I had been trying to find a home for my first novel, Finless. I had rejection letters from two dozen or more publishing houses. I decided to take my chances with SCP, and actually forgot about the submission. Out of the blue, I received a letter from Beth Walker, SCP, offering a contract for Finless! Ecstatic is an understatement for the gamut of emotions I felt at that moment. Ahh, but, you asked about On Ellicott Street…just keep asking your questions, Havan, we are getting there. *wink*

Now this question I've been hitting and missing with. I assume others are like me and have more than one WIP at a time…did you?
I only had one WIP when I submitted Finless.  Now, just a few short months later, I have about seven. My brain is on overload in a good way.
Sit back and let the sparks baby…lol

So how did it come about that On Ellicott Street would be your first book published?
While Finless went through the process of editing, I wrote On Ellicott Street, mostly out of nervous energy for the World Series and the upcoming release of Finless. Beth liked it, and actually chose to release it first, with Finless to follow. So, here we are. J
Now I'm understanding…I thought I was way off base for a second there…*giggles*

Okay…let me steal the sunlight here for just a teensy moment…I'm personally going through some withdrawal anxieties with my boys… did you have any withdrawal pains when you sent Cassie and Eli out there in the big bad world?
Heck, yes! I hoped upon hope the world would enjoy their story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Rejection is a nasty feeling, you know, and it scared my pants off, (not in a good way).
There's a bad way? Oh…I mean…yes I getcha…

Looking back—now that you have more experience under your belt—would you change anything about On Ellicott Street or your way of handling its release?
Yes, I’ve decided not to rush my WIPs just to get them out there. I’m so anxious and A.D.D. that it is difficult not to want to just get it over with and submit. I believe readers need a good fleshing out of the characters, the scenes, the situations, etc. I hope to become better at developing that in my written content.
Fleshing out is always appreciated by readers *shoulder bumps Davee and winks*

If you had to turn the experience of writing/publishing your first book into an erotic novel…what would you title it?
‘Extreme Revelations of an Unassuming Mind’

I'm big on colors—in my personal opinion they mean different things at different times and situations can easily be labeled with colors. What color would you label your first foray in publishing your book and why?
Orange for fresh vibrancy!

On Ellicott Street is an amazing cougar love story with a teenage son involved… how did you juggle all those aspects in your first book?
I thought about my friends, as well as myself, raising kiddos, and how their needs and feelings sometimes become pushed aside during the adult’s euphoria of new love. It is not intentional, but we do not always understand why they are not just as happy as we are when we enter into new relationships.  In addition, as middle age approaches, we almost revert to a panic stricken state of growing older and losing the vitality of life, our vanishing beauty, and our ability to feel joy in our fading youth. We must continue to consider everyone in our lives and understand the importance of each nuance.

Now…just because I like to toss rules to the wind and hope for a ruler paddling… *winks*…here are a few quickies for us about your couple…answer with Cassie or Eli…(Havan, I can wield a mean ruler, just a subtle warning.)
*shivers*

Most likely to get down and dirty in public…Cassie-she became a tart!
Most likely to wear a fedora and rock it…Eli-he could wear anything and still be dreamy
Most likely to not listen to the principal and get punished—oh you know what I mean…Cassie-finally an awakening of her sass!
Most likely to eat food in bed *winks*…Eli-typical guy thing.
Most likely to bring a stray kitten home…Eli-he loves and cares deeply
Most likely to be found barefoot…Cassie-toes in the grass
Most likely to do a private lap dance…Cassie-she looks exquisite in black lace
Most likely to have a sweet tooth…Eli-he sometimes eats cookies in bed
In a silly battle of wills…most likely to refrain from…um…pleasuring themselves the longest…Eli-he can turn on his intellect to get a point across, even sacrificing release, LOL

It's time *bounces and giggles* It's time It's time It's time…Davee…will you tell us a story…and can it be sexy and hot and loving and romantic? I hear you've written just the thing…*winks*


Blurb:
As Cassie approaches fifty; she believes she missed her opportunity for love.  Raising her youngest son, Joshua, alone, she faces challenges that overshadow her personal needs.  Over the years, she lost touch with her essence, vibrancy, and femininity.  Long ago, she accepted monotony and loneliness as her destiny.  Fate intervenes in the form of a program to help Joshua adjust to his own young adulthood, where she meets Ellicott, or Eli.  However, Eli, an intellectual old soul disguised as a beautiful younger man also realizes Cassie’s needs as they discuss some of the most personal details of her life.   Cassie fascinates Eli and she arouses him mentally and physically. For them, age makes no difference; it makes her more beautiful to him, as Eli renews Cassie’s faith in romance.  As their connection deepens, they stimulate each other’s minds, as well as their physical desires, to a smoldering level of passion.

Smokin Hot Excerpt:
Eli’s rock-hard manhood throbbed. The self-release he had indulged in the night before was long forgotten under the spell of Cassie’s frenzied womanhood. He had enough control that she would be fully satisfied, he guaranteed himself that. Years of self-discipline taught him to hold onto his release, but, Cassie tested every technique he previously mastered. Eli finally slid his hand toward her pulsing mound underneath her panties. It pleased him to find her fully saturated, waiting for him to fill her. She moaned, urging him to continue his hands’ course toward her heated center.
Eli stopped and slowly slid her panties down her thighs, kissing along each leg. He moved so slowly, he finally touched her, “right there, right there.” Eli pulled the panties from her feet and threw them across the room. When he stood up, Cassie gasped in wonder at his physical form. “Eli, you are exquisite!” He loved how Cassie marveled at his chiseled beauty.
Eli’s rock hard cock stood unmoving at perfect attention, each of his muscles flexed throughout his body, and he stared down intensely at Cassie. Cassie spread her legs, clearly expecting him to thrust inside her, but he stopped and shook his head no. He bent down and kissed her saturated pussy instead. He expertly guided his tongue along her velvety feminine skin until he found her clit. He explored a few maneuvers until he found the one that made her squirm away from his mouth. He knew he found it.
He slightly tugged on her delicate skin, sucking it into his mouth. Gently using his lips to bring in air to blow discreetly across her clit, he stopped to lick lightly at the same spot. Eli brought her down and re-aroused Cassie several times before he allowed her release. Cassie came with the force of hurricane winds. She arched her back off the bed and screamed a primal groan of delight. Eli held her ass tightly and kept his face firmly planted against her pulsing pussy. He kept rolling his tongue around the soft, yet swelling labia. At the peak of Cassie’s orgasm, Eli slid his middle finger deep inside her and she moaned even louder.

Like a Virgin with Dianne Hartsock...

When Dianne Hartsock was like a virgin…

So…in honor of my first solo release coming out soon…I've decided to celebrate by talking to some very talented authors about some of their first releases! *giggles* You see…it isn't all about me all the time…but I do love weaseling my way into the mix most of the time…hehe

My next Virgin victim…um…I mean guest *blushes* is an author that I just started reading and am gobbling up…um…figuratively speaking that is *blushes*. She's written this nearly perfect character that I just want to hold and cuddle with. And Dianne Hartsock has that same aura about her, too—I just want to curl up next to her and snuggle for hours on end. *looks at everyone and rolls eyes* No…that isn't just because I'm a perv…but maybe I'm a perv just because of that??? *nods knowingly*
Havan, sweetie, I feel the same way! *blushes* But then that makes me… Who cares! Snuggles are awesome.

Well now now…this is Dianne's first trip to my place, and I would prefer to not scare her away…I like her and want her coming often…*points to the back row* no comments…don't make me remove you…again…*sighs* So as I was saying, Dianne's new here and I plan on behaving myself so she doesn't mark me off of her 'must' visit list.
Don’t worry! I never listen to the ‘peanut gallery’, unless they have beer…

*clears throat* And on that note, let's start this off with the basics…Welcome Dianne and tell us about Shelton in Love.
*arches brow* Come sit by me!
Oh…I'm soooooo not saying no to that request…I have to be a good hostess you know…
That’s better. *takes Havan’s hand, looking innocent* Now, ‘Shelton in Love’ is the first book in my Shelton series. It’s the story of a sweet, beautiful man who falls for the handsome, flirtatious playboy. Nevil has captivated my darling Shelton, but after sharing a night of passion, Nevil seems bent on returning to his roaming ways. Can Shelton convince Nevil to give up his love ‘em and leave ‘em lifestyle and settle down with him, before Shelton’s heart is broken completely? *pats Havan’s hand* Don’t worry! Shelton gets his HEA in the end…err…by the time the story’s over.

Oh yeah he does…*coughs*…um…You and I are in the Breathless Press family together…isn't that cool? *shoulder bumps Dianne* We're like kissing cousins or something…Is there a special reason you chose Breathless Press to publish this first story of yours…was there something special there or just fate?
It’s kind of a long story. *hmm, I’ve never kissed my cousin. Is it nice?* Last winter I discovered Jamieson Wolf at MuseItUp Publishing while checking out their website. I followed his books to Breathless Press, where I found a whole world of new books and amazing authors. When I decided to write my m/m erotic story, BP was the first publishing house I thought of to send it to. And to my utter surprise, they accepted!

Second book in Shelton's Series
Okay…I either sound really smart when I ask this question or I fall flat on my face…time to try with you…I assume you had more than one work in progress when you published Shelton in Love…what made you decide this would be your first book published?
*don’t worry! I’ll catch you* Honestly, I had no say in the decision. *blushes* The first contract I signed was for my short paranormal story ‘Trials of a Lonely Specter’ with MuseItUp, but they didn’t publish the story until October as part of their Halloween theme. Next, I signed with Solstice Publishing for my paranormal thriller novel, ALEX, which came out two weeks after ‘Shelton in Love’. Both in May, 2011. It was simple luck that Shelton was first, since I signed with BP last!

Isn't it funny how the timeline differs with different publishing houses…lol…Now as I've notoriously said for the past interviews *blushes*…Okay…about me for a second *big smiles*…I'm personally going through some withdrawal anxieties with my boys… did you have any withdrawal pains when you sent your boys out there in the big bad world?
You have no idea! *puts head on Havan’s shoulder with a heartfelt sigh* Not only was ‘Shelton in Love’ my first erotic story, it was my first m/m erotic. It surprised a lot of people! I’d toyed with the idea of using a pen name, but then thought, ‘this is what I write. If someone doesn’t like it, then obviously I didn’t write it for them’. I’ve actually had family members ‘unfriend’ me over it, which hurts a little, but I won’t stop writing what I love. And besides, I’m very proud of my boys!
As you should be! *hugs you close* No regrets sweets…*big smiles*

Looking back—now that you have more experience under your belt—would you change anything about Shelton in Love or your way of handling its release?
*bats lashes* Babe, what would you like me to change? But seriously, I think I’ve gotten a little better with practice, and would add more of a back story and spend a little more time on character development. I’d like to get to know Percy a little better, too! As for handling its release, I had so much fun promoting that first book! I wouldn’t change anything. I’ve met some of the nicest, most supportive people on my blog tours. *gives Havan a quick hug and cuddle*

If you had to turn the experience of publishing your first book into an erotic novel…what would you title it?
Fumbling Towards Ecstasy *blushes* I know that’s a Sarah McLachlan song, but I had no idea what I was doing when I first started out. I feel a little more confident now, but still find myself stumbling over my own eagerness at times.

What color would you label your first foray in publishing your book and why?
Do fireworks have a specific color? It was all booms and bangs and cheers and laughter and terror…

As I stated in that totally unpretentious and low-key intro I did…*smiles innocently*…I have fallen for Shelton. He is just so sweet and lovable but with a backbone—such a perfect combination! And to top him off no matter how drool worthy everyone thinks he is…he will never perceive himself that way. How did he come to you? *stops and eyes go wide* Let me rephrase that…
*smiles secretly, remembering certain very steamy scenes* I’m one of those lucky writers whose characters walk on the scene in all their glory. *blushes furiously* I had the vague idea of writing a story where a secret keeps a man from finding true love, and hey, Shelton comes through the door with a shy smile on his face and a lonely look in his eyes. I couldn’t resist him! And neither could Nevil, who moved in with him despite the danger to his bachelorhood ways. Shelton’s depth of character and mannerisms and personality traits came to me as I wrote the story the same way is does to my readers.

Third book in Shelton's Series
Let's go a little off topic now—and no this isn't just for my own benefit, honest!—Rumor has it you're working on a fourth book now? How many do you foresee in this series? *whispers* And we aren't turned off by double digits…just saying *giggles*
*hugs Havan’s neck and whispers* Sweetness, how did you know I’m a sucker for compliments? I’ve just signed a contract with BP for the fourth book, Shelton’s Homecoming. Shelton was so damned lonely without Nevil at the end of book three. It broke my heart. I couldn’t leave him that way. Future books? I can’t say. I’ll have to wait and see where my muse takes me!
*fist pumps air* SCORE!

Now…just because I like slip sliding away when hotties are involved… *winks*…here are a few quickies for us about your boys…answer with Shelton or Nevil…

Most likely to get down and dirty in public… Nevil. God, Shelton would die of embarrassment.
Most likely to wear a fedora and rock it…Shelton. So sexy in a hat!
Most likely to get body art (tattoo)… Nevil, but probably not.
Most likely to eat food in bed *winks*…Nevil, but only if Shelton’s body is involved…
Most likely to be found barefoot… Shelton
Most likely to be silly and break out into a song and dance number… Nevil, especially after a couple of drinks.
Most likely to find a stray animal and bring it home… My sweet Shelton, and Nevil would think he’s a darling for it.
Most likely to blow off plans and talk the other into staying in bed all day… Nevil. He does it frequently!
Most likely to have a sweet tooth… Shelton, though he’d deny it.
In a silly battle of wills…most likely to refrain from…um…pleasuring themselves the longest… Oh, Shelton. Nevil would declare Shelton the instant winner and saunter off to the shower.

*bounces on couch and claps hands* It's time…It's time!!! We get to here first hand all about Shelton and Nevil *quiets up so Dianne can tell us a sweet story or two*


Blurb:
Shelton's falling quickly for his sexy roommate, but can he forget the pain of past rejections and give Nevil what they're both aching for?

Shelton is falling hard for his best friend and roommate, finding Nevil's dark good looks and moments of gentleness almost impossible to resist. But Nevil is more interested in affairs of the body than the heart. As Shelton's desire for the man grows, he wonders if he can change Nevil's mind. But does he even want to? Nevil might not stay, once he learns Shelton's secret, and then his loneliness would be complete.

Excerpt:
Nevil parked the car in front of their apartment and shut off the motor. His beautiful eyes smoldered as he gazed at him, and Shelton could hardly breathe when he touched his cheek. Nevil shifted on his seat and leaned over to claim Shelton's mouth again with his own.
The kiss was different this time, urgent, demanding, drawing an instant response from Shelton's love-starved body. Nevil's tongue plundered the soft lining of his mouth, plunging in and out until Shelton's head was spinning with a nameless yearning. He slipped his own tongue between Nevil's lips and thrilled at his soft moan. The scent of Nevil's cologne became a pleasure in itself, alluring, seductive, swamping his doubts in an overwhelming need.
Nevil's kisses burned down his neck, and Shelton leaned his head back to give him access as he deftly undid the buttons on his vest and the shirt beneath, spreading them open to expose his chest. Shelton's tie was still in place, in stark contrast with his white skin. Nevil rubbed the silk over one of his nipples with a decadent laugh in his throat, sending a tingle of pleasure through him. The man quickly nipped the opposite nipple and this time the current jolted straight to Shelton's groin, making him cry out in surprise, instantly aroused, his lower body straining against the confining clothing holding him in.
Nevil's lips teased at the hardened bud on his chest, then returned to his mouth for another shattering kiss. "We should have done this ages ago," Nevil murmured appreciatively, slipping an arm under him to lift him closer.
A horn blared as headlights swept through the windows, the car pulling out of the parking lot with a squeal of tires. Nevil loosened his hold, chuckling as he pulled away from Shelton. "No one's done that since high school."
Shelton stayed where he was, panting, slightly dazed. Nevil took his hand, kissing his fingertips. His eyes lingered on Shelton's heaving chest. "I could take you right here," he confessed, his voice unsteady. "But let's go inside. I need a little more privacy for what I have in mind."

Like a Virgin with T.A. Chase...

When T.A. Chase was like a virgin…

So…in honor of my first solo release coming out soon…I've decided to celebrate by talking to some very talented authors about their first solo release! *giggles* You see…it isn't all about me all the time…but I do love weaseling my way into the mix most of the time…hehe

Today I'm gonna make a fool of myself…well more than the norm that is. *blushes* I've got one of my all time faves with me!!!! *flails arms in air and screams like a fangirl*…today my blog is drenched in the awesomeness that is none other than *drum roll on corner of keyboard* T.A. Chase…and OMG she's agreed to let me question her about her No Going Home virgin days…*drops in dead faint*
I want to thank you for having me here. I always love to talk about my older books. They still hold a special place in my heart since they were my first.

*jumps up and shows T.A. to the bench seat in front of the bay windows* Okay…a part of me wants to sit as close to you as possible and rub elbows…but the sane side wants to sit opposite of you and just bask in your glow…decisions decisions…*giggles and cops a squat*…no reason to share which seat I chose…*winks*

*clears throat and composes myself…using my grown-up voice* Let us begin…

So, let's start this off with the basics…tell us about your first ever release…*stops and eyes go wide*…um…I mean your first book release ever, No Going Home
My first ever release is for another time and far more alcohol.
I got tequila…and limes...can I pencil you in for that other time? *silly loopy grin* Okay, I'll get back to you about that one…


Why did you decide to publish with Liquid Silver Books…was there something special there or just fate?
I chose Liquid Silver Books because I was friends with one of the ladies who works there. (Still am...lol) and she let me know they were looking for m/m books to start a new line with. So I happened to have No Going Home sitting on my computer waiting for me to finish it. I decided to hurry up and get it done, so I could submit to them and see what they had to say. They loved it and suddenly I was going to be a published author.


Now this question I've been hitting and missing with. I assume others are like me and have more than one WIP at a time…did you? If so what made you decide that No Going Home would be your first book published?
Yes, I had No Going Home and Here Be Dragons going at the same time. To be totally honest, I didn’t make the decision. It was the luck of the draw that No Going Home came out first instead of Here Be Dragons.


Another awesome book on my kindle…Okay…about me for a second *straightens back and strikes a pose*…I'm personally going through some withdrawal anxieties with my boys… did you have any withdrawal pains when you sent Les and Randy out there in the big bad world?
Sure I did. Every author has pains about letting their guys go out in the world, hoping no one hurts them too much. That never changes, no matter how many books you have out. There’s always a little bit of doubt about letting the story go, and trusting them to survive on their own.


Book 2 in Home series
Looking back—now that you have more experience under your belt—would you change anything about No Going Home or your way of handling its release?
Not really. Oh, I’m sure if I were to write No Going Home now, it would be better in some ways because I’ve grown as a writer. Yet for the most part, I’m happy with what I did back then to promote it. Of course, I’ll be getting another chance since I’ve taken the rights back to Les and Randy’s story. It’ll be re-released in October by Total e-Bound.
That's exciting news! *circles the month of October on my calendar* Can't wait!


Soooo…If you had to turn the experience of writing/publishing your first book into an erotic novel *waggles eyebrows*…what would you title it?
A Chaotic and Nerve-wracking Journey. Not a very erotic title, but that’s what it was like. Learning how to write gay sex scenes and hoping I get them right in a way that brings pleasure to the reader.


I'm big on colors—in my personal opinion they mean different things at different times and situations can easily be labeled with colors. What color would you label your first foray in publishing your book and why?
Oh, I think I’d make it a bright sunny yellow. It was the greatest experience I could have. If Liquid Silver hadn’t been such a great publisher to work with, I probably wouldn’t have done as well as I have.


No Going Home is the first in your Home Series that has a total of three heat inducing and tear duct working books…when you started your road to publishing it—did you already have the other two books worked out in your head or even on paper…or did they appear later down the line?
No, Going Home was going to be a stand-alone book, but then Tony introduced himself. The moment I met him, I knew he had a story to tell. Also, he deserved his own guy. Then in Tony’s story, when he met Derek on the plane, I had a feeling Derek had more to say as well. When Peter appeared in No Going Home, I always had an idea for him in the back of my mind, as well as for Yancey and Juan. Peter’s story, Leaving Home, and Yancey/Juan’s book, Home Sweet Home, will both be out next year. Finally...lol
*bounces a bit* You don't know how excited I am to hear that! *big smiles*


Now…just because I like to try to buck you off your bronco baby…*winks*…here are a few quickies for us about your boys…answer with Les or Randy…

Most likely to get down and dirty in public…I would have to say Randy. Les is a little more private.
Most likely to wear a fedora and rock it…definitely Les. He has this old world charm about him, and he’d be able to rock a fedora.
Most likely to eat food *coughs* strawberry short *coughs again* in bed *winks*…Ah, well...I’d have to say both of them. They enjoy dessert in bed a lot...lol
Most likely to be found barefoot…Les. He isn’t as tight laced as he seems at times.
Most likely to turn the laundry pink (darn those red cowboy shirts hehe)…Les because he’s always had a housekeeper to do his laundry for him.
Most likely to do a private lap dance…Randy. He likes showing off for Les, and that’s just one more way he can get Les’s motor going.
Most likely to have a sweet tooth…Les. He has a thing for strawberry shortcake and lots of whipped cream.
In a silly battle of wills…most likely to refrain from…um…pleasuring themselves the longest…Les. He’s learned that pleasure denied is pleasure doubled.
In a sillier battle of wills…most likely to buck one out first in a race to completion…Randy. He’s still young and doesn’t have as much self control as Les.


Book 3 in Home series

And now for my fave part…*grabs T.A.'s hand and holds it to my heart…batting my eyelashes furiously* will you tell us a story? Now, I'm not looking for just any story…I want one about two hard ridden cowboys who believe that their imperfections are what makes each other perfect…*sighs dreamily*…I want Les and Randy…

Blurb:
Six years ago, a hoof to the head ended Leslie Hardin’s show-jumping career and his relationship with the man he loved. Broken, hurt, and rejected, Les has focused his energies on rebuilding his life.

Les’s accident has shown him that the most valuable treasures are usually found under an imperfect surface, and his reputation for taking in strays starts to grow. But it’s one of these strays in particular, injured rodeo cowboy Randy Hersch, who captures more than just his compassion.

Between his disapproving father and his chosen career path, Randy has always felt the need to deny his passion. But when Les takes him under his wing, Randy begins to realize that he is truly strong enough to admit his true self—to himself and the rest of the world. But in the arms of a broken man, can he find acceptance…and love?

Content: Graphic M/M sex scenes.


Find No Going Home when it's rereleased in October…we'll keep you updated! And you can find the talented and beautiful T.A. Chase at her website No Boundaries. Make sure to drop by and read her blog stories—they freaking rock!


Excerpt:
Les found Randy sitting in the dining room, staring at a pair of boots. It had been twenty minutes since Randy’s father left. He had managed to compose his nerves enough to come and see if Randy was up. He knelt beside the cowboy, putting a hand on the man’s knee.

“Randy,” he asked in a low voice.

Unfocused blue eyes met his gaze and blinked.

“Do you need help getting your boots on, baby?” He clamped his mouth shut. Shit. It was one thing to call him that while he was half asleep. It was another thing entirely to talk sweet to Randy while he was awake.

Another blink and a slight smile. “Yeah. I can’t bend over real well at the moment.”

Les took Randy’s foot and placed in on his thigh. Sliding on a boot, he pulled the pant leg down over it. He did the same with the other than looked up to see Randy staring down at him. Without thought, he rose up on his knees and cupped Randy’s face.

The other man tensed, but didn’t push him away. He tried not to listen to a voice saying it wasn’t a good idea. He leaned forward and gently pressed his lips to those cut lips. Randy didn’t join in at first. Les swiped his tongue over the seam of Randy’s mouth. A gasp allowed him access to the inside. His tongue made a foray in the wet warmth.

Randy tasted like maple syrup and earth. His male tang caused Les’s cock to stand at attention. When his body demanded a harder and deeper kiss, he pulled back. Randy protested and the younger man’s shocked gaze met his. He could tell by the hesitant movement of the other man’s lips, Randy hadn’t been kissed often.

“Why did you stop?” Randy blushed when he realized what he asked.

Les chuckled and brushed a finger over Randy’s lips. “Your lips aren’t up for anything more.”

Randy ducked his head. “Why’d you kiss me?”

He lifted that stubborn chin up and whispered another kiss over Randy’s lips. “I kissed you because you’re the hottest man I’ve seen in a long time. Also, I wanted to kiss your bruises and make them better.”

“You’ve only kissed my lips.” A flirty gleam came and went in those stunning eyes.

“That’s true, but I don’t think you’re up to me kissing any other part of your body.” He stood and offered Randy a hand.

Pulling the cowboy off the chair, Les didn’t step back. He let Randy’s body brush against his own. His hand cupped the back of Randy’s head and his other hand landed on the small waist. He drew Randy close to him, savoring the feeling of the lean muscled warmth of the male body pressed to him.

Randy didn’t seem to know where to put his own hands. Those strong hands stroked over his shoulders, down his back and settled on his ass. Groaning, Les brought his mouth down on Randy again. This time the cowboy opened his mouth without Les asking him. Their tongues slid together with a gentle touch. Les didn’t demand or get aggressive. He wanted to learn Randy and didn’t want to scare the kid away.


Thank you for having me here today, Havan. I had fun talking about No Going Home, and my boys. I think they will always hold a very special place in my heart since they were my first and everything.

*tackles TA in a great big bear hug and squeezes* Awwwww…you're awesome! <3

Flash Friday Fiction #15


Happy Friday Everyone!!!

Are you ready for the flashing to begin????

So this Friday Flash Fiction is a number of talented authors getting together to describe a picture with just 100 words, not 101...not 99 - 100 hits the mark.

Enough idle chatter? Well if you say so...but I personally say I never can get enough...*smirks*


 I grabbed Josh's arm as he walked by and whispered in his ear, "Look, he's doing it again. Just laying there practically naked staring out the window. You think he's peeping on some prime flesh?"

"I don't know…how often does he do this?"

"Every Sunday morning, I know, I make it a point to be home to glimpse him in his tighty whities."

"Yeah, that's a good look for him."

"I'm waiting for my laundry to dry, jackasses! Now come in here and take my mind off our slow ass dryer or close the damn door so I can sleep!"

*****************************************

May we bow our heads for a moment of silence to thank technology for its lack of speed…*bows head and peeks at tighty whities one more time*…oh-kay…*grabs your hand and makes the leap giggling* now for the fun part—let's blog hop to the next yummy morsel awaiting our presence!

Like a Virgin with Sara York...


When Sara York was like a virgin…

So…in honor of my first solo release coming out soon…I've decided to celebrate by talking to some very talented authors about some of their first releases! *giggles* You see…it isn't all about me all the time…but I do love weaseling my way into the mix most of the time…hehe


I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to get some one on one time with my next Virgin victim…um…I mean guest *blushes*. She's sassy! She's brilliant! She's ballsy! And I've got her attention for the rest of the day! *bouncing around the room fist pumping air*…hmmmmm…I wonder if I can finish this interview in less than five minutes and attempt my ravaging plans on her the rest of the day…*face palm* Did I say that out loud? *smirks and winks*


So…without further ado…because oh yeah—I can soooooo cut myself off from babbling *giggles*…here is the ultra hot and heavy Sara York! *wolf whistles and whoop whoop's as I lead the beauty to the back porch two-seater swing and plop down next to her* Hope you don't mind…it's so pretty out here and this swing is nice and cozy…*pushes off with feet to get us swinging* (oh yeah, all puns intended…hehe)
I love porch swings, so let’s get to rocking.

Yay!!! So, let's start this off with the basics…tell us about Princess Slave.
Princess Slave came about in a flurry of what if’s. Ava is a princess, destined to be married off by her father to increase their political ties. She looks forward to helping her planet achieve more power. However, the evil king of Zebulun, Ean, has plans for her. She’s his sex slave now and she has to fight to survive.

Why did you choose The Wild Rose Press to publish this first short of yours…was there something special there or just fate?
At the time there weren’t too many epublishers. It seemed like a good fit. Looking back, I’m glad I had the experience. They set the bar high for what I would expect in the future from other publishers.

I assume you had more than one work in progress when you published Princess Slave…what made you decide this would be your first book published?
Actually, I didn’t have anything else going. I had toddlers to watch after so I didn’t have too much writing time. I wrote very slow back then, almost painfully slow.

Okay…about me for a second *big smiles*…I'm personally going through some withdrawal anxieties with my boys… did you have any withdrawal pains when you sent Jaron and Ava out there in the big bad world?
Yes, I always do. I want to keep the book all to myself, secreting it away so only I can drool over the characters. There’s a magic that happens sometimes between the author and the characters. I’ve fallen in love more than once with my characters. Right now I’m having a secret affair with one of the characters of a book I’m working on. He’s hot, smart, sexy and wonderful.
I can't wait to meet him!

Book 2 of the
Princess of Gemariah series
Looking back—now that you have more experience under your belt—would you change anything about Princess Slave or your way of handling its release?
Most assuredly! When the contract was up with The Wild Rose Press, I went back through Princess Slave and changed a few things. Then I put it up on Amazon as self-published. I’m still doing some of my books with publishers, but I’m also doing more self-publishing.

If you had to turn the experience of publishing your first book into an erotic novel…what would you title it?
Pain and Torture that Lasts Forever
I hear you there *giggles*

What color would you label your first foray in publishing your book and why?
Dark red. I loved having my first book out there, but I learned so much with that experience. I’m too nice to my editors and I don’t speak up enough. That first experience taught me to ask questions. I still am too nice, but I do ask about books when I think it’s taking too long.

Now…just because I like the hit 'em hard and fast route…*winks*…here are a few quickies for us about your hero and heroine…answer can only be Ava or Jaron…

Most likely to snag a transport for a joyride…Jaron
Most likely to get body art (tattoo)…Jaron
Most likely to eat food in bed *winks*…Ava
Most likely to be silly and break out into a song and dance number…Jaron
Most likely to find a stray animal and bring it home…Ava
Most likely to blow off plans and talk the other into staying in bed all day…Jaron
Most likely to have a sweet tooth…Ava
In a silly battle of wills…most likely to refrain from…um…pleasuring themselves the longest…Ava

And now for my favorite part…*rests head on Sara's perfect shoulder and bats eyes at her*…tell me a story please…about a beautiful and fiery princess and the man that enters her life…

Blurb:
Princess Ava Timna is prisoner of the king of Zebulun, doomed to become his sex slave. Escape means certain death but staying only delays the inevitable—the loss of her virginity. To her people, her virginity is sacred, something to be treasured and given as a gift to her future husband. Wedding King Ean isn't an option as he's rough, known for defiling women and casting them aside. She expects abuse and harshness at his hands, yet his gentle touch leaves her breathless and aching for more. Could she be attracted to him?

King Ean of Zubulun has a secret—he’s actually Jaron, Ean's identical twin on a mission to restore order and honor to the planet he loves. Keeping Ava prisoner weighs on his conscious. Returning her to her people would blow his cover and result in their deaths. Keeping her means giving in to the lustful fire burning in his loins, knowing all the while he's lying to the one woman he wishes could be more than his princess slave.

Excerpt:
Her captor pulled his robe off and threw it to the floor. Ava sucked in a startled gasp as he joined her under the spray. She kept her eyes glued to a spot on the wall, not daring to peek at his tight stomach or lean legs. She didn't even want to think about the other parts, the ones she wasn't supposed to know anything about.
Warm water cascaded over their bodies, sending rivulets of pleasure running down her skin. He turned her around so she could no longer see his face. His hands were on her, rubbing a slick bar of soap over her flesh. She wanted to rebel against his touch but couldn't move away from the calming relief being clean brought.
A wave of shock hit her as he covered one breast with his hand. His fingers caressed her, stroking her nipple until it formed an urgent peak. The vibrating rush from his touch turned her body to molten fire. She wanted to be able to shrug off his touch and she should have, but part of her wanted to encourage him. To find out how much higher she'd feel if he kept touching her.
Her ass pressed against his erection, and his shaft slid between the slit of her cheeks. She grew hot as erotic images of them connected filled her mind. The silky tip of his cock filling her pussy left her gasping for breath. The explicitness of her thoughts made fear run through her mind, leaving her wishing for escape. She pushed the thoughts of sex away, fighting the pull to turn around and let him do as he wished.
She gasped and jumped forward, swinging around to face him. "I won't let you do this."
He chuckled, amusement filled his eyes. "You don't seem to be in the position to deny me."
She spat in his face. "I would die before I let you touch me."
