So…are you curious what that *points to title of blog*
means? Yeah…so was I.
And that is where a certain Lee Brazil comes in. What can I
say? Lee comes up with some fab ideas…he’s so darn cool. :)
So every month (we are starting this late for March…oops)
we will have a book of the month of ours…and we’ll discount it (times may vary
as allowed by Amazon and whatnot). But during the month we will post enticing
snippets from the book every Sunday for you to enjoy.
My first book to be showcased is a Story Orgy Single The Mama’s Boy…from the Story Orgy Bad Boyfriend Collection.
I personally think this collection of three stories from
Lee Brazil, Hank Edwards and me are completely terrific…and really, who hasn’t
had that bad boyfriend that they really wished would just get boinked over the
head and maybe turn out to be the one?
But that never happens, does it? Once bad always bad? Not necessarily
true when the Story Orgy steps in…the bad boyfriend has a fighting chance.
Nice thought, right? :)
So…between 3/24 (Tuesday) until 3/30 (next Monday) you can
snap up this novella for 99¢ at Amazon US
& Amazon UK.
Blurb
Story Orgy Singles brings you...
Bad Boyfriends.
The men your mother should've warned you about, but
probably didn't.
Donnell Rastnor can’t wait to get to know his co-worker
Jaime outside the office. They share a lot of interests in common, and let's
face it, Jaime makes Donnell's body sit up and take notice. Donnell just doesn't
realize that Jaime is a package deal.
Jaime Dierdon is a good man. But, at the ripe old age of
twenty-six, he sees no reason to cut the apron strings of the woman who raised
him on her own. So what if he has to postpone certain things because his mom
needs him, surely his new boyfriend Donnell will understand.
One of them believes one plus one equals two…so why does
the other always come up with three?
Sunday Snippet
The First Date
Jaime Dierdon stood outside the
Cineplex watching all the couples pass to purchase movie tickets. He tightened
his hand around the two tickets for the already sold out show, Round Again, the
highly anticipated sequel to Round the Bend. Every showing for the rest of that
Friday night—and the first two for Saturday—completely sold out in less than an
hour.
Hell, he wouldn't even have this set
if it not for his terrific mother. She knew he wanted to impress his blind date
tonight and had called her best friend, whose husband was the regional manager
of this particular movie theatre chain.
He rubbed the pad of his thumb over
the action movie tickets and smiled. Then he blushed and shook his head from
the clouds. Damn, if anyone stopped to pay him thirty seconds of attention,
they would quickly tag him as a teenybopper on his first date, instead of a
twenty-six-year-old college graduate.
He couldn't help it. Technically
this might qualify as a blind date, but secretly Jaime wasn't as blind as the
man he planned to woo tonight. Call it cheating, but Jaime had daydreamed about
going out with Donnell Rastnor for the last six months. That was about the
exact amount of time as Donnell's employment for the same company Jaime worked
for. When he found out that Donnell shared an area in the same department as
Jaime's best friend, he finally got up the nerve to ask Sheila to set them up
on a blind date.
"Jaime?" A deep rolling
voice broke through his thoughts, and Jaime jerked his head to the left.
Standing there in a pair of crisp tan slacks and black long-sleeved tee was the
man he fantasized over.
Donnell must've cut his hair, it no longer brushed his ears
with perfect black curls, but now was cropped close to his scalp. Jaime's
disappointment only lasted seconds when he realized the shorter cut accentuated
his high cheekbones and drew attention to those thick pouty lips that he knew
would look fabulous wrapped around Jaime's cock.
"Um…you're Jaime from
accounting, right? I mean, I know I haven't actually been introduced to you,
but I've seen you around the office on the third floor visiting Sheila."
Shit. Jaime realized he hadn't even
said hello yet.
"Sorry." He shook his head
and offered his hand to Donnell. "Yeah, I'm Jaime. I'm really glad that
Sheila talked me into going out on this blind date." It was just a small
fib, not even on the level of a little white lie really.
Donnell's grip was strong but not
punishing, his skin thick and tough with calluses. Made Jaime wonder what he
did outside of work, his position in the order department didn't actually
warrant hard work with your hands.
"I'll admit, I was a little
taken aback by her subtle request that I should ask you out." Donnell's
rich voice morphed into a libido-raising chuckle that had Jaime reaching for
his crotch.
Thank God he stopped before making a
complete ass of himself.
He raised his eyebrow and smirked. "Subtle and Sheila
don't belong in the same sentence. Have you heard the story of how she snagged
her boyfriend?"
Donnell smiled and took Jaime's
elbow in hand and slowly sauntered to the ticket booth, looking up to see their
options.
"Well, damn, Round Again is sold out…" He
squinted a bit and studied the board. "Until next millennium it looks like
too." He chuckled softly. "I hoped we could catch that one, I own the
first movie. It's a surefire way to make me laugh, even though it's classified
as an action flick."
Jaime pointed to him and cracked a
smile. "I know what you mean! Remember that scene when the entire parking
lot blew sky high?" He lowered his voice and added a southern drawl.
"Look at the bright side, you didn't remember where you parked
anyway."
"Classic line!" Donnell
burst into laughter alongside Jaime.
They stood there for a brief time,
when one's laughter subsided he'd look at the other and it would start again.
The moment, to Jaime, was special and telling; something that many established
relationships didn't have the privilege of experiencing. His ribs hurt from the
laughing and his face felt stretched from the smiling and he couldn't remember
the last time he enjoyed someone's company so much so quickly.
Donnell's long slender brown fingers
wiped the moisture from his eyes that crinkled in the corner from mirth.
"Oh well, there're plenty other movies to choose from." He stepped
toward the stanchion with the red corded rope attached to it.
Jaime opened his mouth to explain
that they would indeed see Round Again, but when that bicep flexed in front of
him, he couldn't stop his hand from reaching out to touch. He curled his
fingers around that hard muscle and squeezed, when the muscle answered him with
another ripple Jaime's heart stopped beating for a second.
He quickly raised his eyes to
Donnell's brown ones—though calling Donnell's eyes brown equated to calling an
Andy Warhol original mildly interesting. The brown interwove with streaks of
golden honey and what looked like a pale green too. A thick band of gold
encircled the whole beautiful kaleidoscope effect.
Donnell raised his eyebrow but made
no attempt to shake the hand from his arm.
"Oh…um…" Jaime stammered
and held up his other hand, showing the tickets to Donnell.
Instead of grabbing them from his
hand to read them, Donnell wrapped his fingers around Jaime's wrist and held
it. Jaime watched his eyes move over the lettering right before the corners of
his mouth slowly rose into a huge grin.
"Holy shit…" Donnell's
eyes suddenly went big and he blushed. "Crap, excuse my language." He
shook his head and laughed. "Excuse that too. Seriously, this is great,
how early did you show up to get these?"
"I just arrived about ten
minutes ago. My mom plays pinochle with a bigwig of the theatre's wife. She got
the hook-up for us. She's good like that." Jaime chuckled, Donnell's
excitement fueling his own.
"Well, I think I owe you a very
large tub of buttery popcorn and a soda to wash it down." Jaime controlled
his breathing when Donnell moved his hand from the outside of his arm and
tucked it up and under.
"Sounds great, but oh…I don't
drink soda. My mom kinda instilled the whole no sugary drinks thing in me. I'll
take a bottle of water instead, though."
So…between 3/24
(Tuesday) until 3/30 (next Monday) you can snap up this novella for 99¢ at Amazon US & Amazon UK. And
don't forget to swing by Lee Brazil's blog
and check out his deal of the month too! :)
