Welcome to my crazy world! Sorry I’m late posting for Seductive Studs & Sirens. (If you’re here for the Hop Against Homophobia and Transphobia or the Absolutely Erotic Blog Hop you know what to do. :))
So here it is, my snippet (picking up where last week’s left off) and my cover!
Jake shook his head slowly and started walking toward the hall without thinking about it.
“Refresh my memory.” Mason took Jake’s hand and pulled him down the short hallway to the Men’s Room. Just inside the door he turned and pressed Jake against the wall, trapping him there with his body. His mouth began to work on Jake’s neck as his hands kneaded the muscles in his arms and shoulders. “You can grab my hair while you’re fucking my face.”
Jake slipped his hands up under the soft and filmy fabric of Mason’s shirt and gasped as he found a rock-hard six-pack. Mason looked up and when Jake told him with a quick gesture there’d be no kissing, Mason’s lips returned to Jake’s neck without missing a beat.
Thanks for reading—I hope this week’s snippet feels less of a tease!
This post was brought to you by the letter S (Seductive Studs & Sirens and Snippet Sunday), the letter W (Weekend Writing Warriors), and the hashtag #HAHAT (Hop Against Homophobia and Transphobia). I hope you’ll check out every one of them. I can’t promise cookies, but there could be prizes and you will have fun!
Charley that is gorgeous. Can’t wait for you to bring it over to the chair!! So thrilled for you
Thanks Shey! It was a nice surprise in my inbox this morning! 😀
Wow, hot snippet, Charley. 🙂
Thanks Siobhan! 🙂
No kissing . . . To me, that says Jake doesn’t see this as more than a ‘buddy interaction and I’m wondering if Mason feels the same way . . .
Aaargh. Is this out yet? I couldn’t find it, but my Google-fu is intermittent.
Not yet, but thanks for asking! It’ll be out on June 9th. 🙂
I agree with Sarah, the no kissing drew a very strong line in that sand. Hot, heated, up against the wall (literally) sex. Whew!
Thanks, Sharon! I’m happy to see you back–I guess you’re not bored yet. 😉
First, this is a great snippet. Steamy interlude in the Men’sRroom, shoved up against a bathroom wall. However, I have one recommendation to make: RP (Repetition Police) on the use of hall and hallway. In the second paragraph, I would remove it and just leave it as ‘…and pulled him into the Men’s Room.’ The mental image is of them already going down the hall, so you won’t lose the description. Just my opinion, so feel free to disregard.
Hi Penny, thanks for your comment! Now I want to go through my current WIP for repetition. It’ll probably make my publisher rip his hair out if I ask for changes this late in the game. Since he made me such a cool cover, I should let him keep his hair. 😉
No kissing– tells me no emotions allowed, not attachments–just purely physical release then move on. Hmm… is that what Mason wants?
Hmm, what Mason wants… That’s easier to pin down than what Jake wants, but maybe that’s obvious! 🙂
I like a character who says exactly what he/she wants, and you’ve done that here. Excellent snippet showing your style and good writing.
Thanks!
Super cover, Charley. Can’t wait to read the whole thing when it comes out.
Thanks! I’m especially proud of this one because I found the pic & just fell in love with it. One day I may actually be able to make something like this . . . (yeah, still struggling with my graphics program :P).
I’m sure you’ll be kind, but thinking of you reading it makes me a little afraid. 🙂
