Wednesday Briefs: One Night Part 18



Holy crap; it's May already and that time of the week again! Hump day! Particularly apt for this installment of my flash story, LOL! Please welcome a friend of mine, beta extraordinaire, and wonderful author ... Renee Stevens, to the group. She is sharing her first Wednesday Briefer flash piece this week.

So, my choices this week were myriad, including photos and: "An ounce of prevention is worth..." or use: cauliflower, pastor, enable or "When will I see you again?" or dress your characters in blue or "Count sheep? I'd rather count..." or "My ... is so sore.... (fill in the blanks).

Guess which one I picked? *winks*

One Night Part 18
 
“Fuck … yeah.” Bear groaned, desperately wanting to squirm but unable to with the arm Kameron had braced across his hips. “More.”
Kameron had his face buried between his legs, sucking hard on his cock. It had been a long time for Bear and the tight, wet heat that slid from the base up to tip and then dove back down was driving him close. His toes curled and every muscle in his thighs tensed.
Kameron circled the base of his cock with his fingers and held tight. The squeezing sensation made it feel like the tip of his cock was about to pop off and the rhythmic sucking from Kameron’s lips locked just under the crown was too much for Bear.
His balls throbbed and he hung onto that rush of feeling, so close, wishing it could last but wanting that release too. “Now!” Bear held his breath, his jaw clenched, and then it came. He reveled in the wave and then let out an explosive grunt. The hard back of the sofa hurt his head when it kicked back as the shots of cum filled Kameron’s mouth.
Bear panted. His cock ached when it slipped out of Kameron’s mouth. The cool air made him shiver and his ribs protested. “Oh god, you just sucked out every bit of strength I had through the tip of my dick.”
“Good, then you won’t fight me when I do this.” Kameron straddled him carefully. Bear looked up from the bulge tenting Kameron’s jeans that the man seemed to be ignoring, expecting a light kiss but what he got was an intense consumption of him, just as thorough as the blow job he just received.
The bitter taste of his cum wasn’t Bear’s favorite flavor but he loved that he could taste it in Kameron’s mouth. Bear couldn’t lift his arms up for long, but he gently stroked Kameron’s stomach as they kept kissing messily. He slipped his hands under the worn t-shirt, feeling the soft skin over hard muscle and the marring here and there of the wounds left by Choika’s brutality.
“Kameron,” Bear gasped when they finally pulled back to breathe. “You … you just ….”
A smirk spread across Kameron’s face. “I know.”
Bear reached for the snaps on his jeans. “I want to suck you, but I can’t bend over.”
Kameron pushed his hand inside his loosened pants and wrapped Bear’s fingers around his cock. “Pull it out.”
Bear did.
“Just stroke.” Kameron’s voice was tight and his cock was rigid in Bear’s hand. He stroked his fingers up and down lightly. The hand over his squeezed down. “Hard,” Kameron said. “Fast.” His hips rocked up into their combined grip. “I won’t last; not this time. You can suck me later.”
Bear began jerking his hand up and down almost roughly. “Are you going to come on me?” He hoped Kameron would. He liked the way a man’s cum splattered across his body, especially when it wasn’t his own. There was something so erotic about it.
Kameron leaned over him, hips rocking, one hand holding on to the back of the couch. “Ugh,” he grunted, snapping his hips up. “Now, now, now,” he chanted as he froze, arcs of white cum squeezed out between their hands to paint Bear’s torso where his shirt was pushed up.
The weight of his lover’s limp body was heavy on Bear’s thighs when Kameron rested more of his weight on Bear’s lap, but he didn’t complain. It felt good. Safe.
***
Kameron and Bear settled into a routine as they both healed and got to know each other better. Kameron was bored out of his skull though. There was only some much daytime TV a man could watch and Bear’s fingers typing away on his keyboard were driving him a little crazy. Bear had slowly begun to work again; he’d explained about using a bouncing IP signal in order to mask his location when he logged into his email or his client’s sites, but Kameron didn’t really like computers.
He could check his email and surf all the porn he wanted … well, had wanted, before he had Bear. As his stitches came out and Bear’s ribs slowly began to let him move around more easily, they’d moved from blow jobs to sex.
It still blew Kameron’s mind. He’d never met anyone like the small, incredibly snarky man, but one smirk and lifted eyebrow from Bear was all it took before his cock decided it was ready and willing. Kameron had never been so glad to have anyone’s forgiveness as he was Bear’s; the idea of missing out on getting to know him made Kameron still shudder.
Tap. Tap. Tap, tap, tap, tap.
Kameron stood up. He still couldn’t stand the typing. “I’m going out for a short walk. Do you want to come with me?”
Bear shook his head. “No way, my thighs are so sore from last night.” Bear had been limping a little but he’d wanted to be on top and there was no way Kameron was going to argue.
“Want me to pick up dinner?” Evening was already slowing the city down around them but Kameron felt like he hadn’t done a damn thing. “I feel like some of those chili dogs from that place around the corner.”
“Sounds good,” Bear said absently as he tapped at the keyboard while squinting at what looked like lines of gibberish. Bear stopped and looked up when Kameron picked up his keys. “You won’t be gone long, right?”
“No. Still, lock the door behind me with the chain, okay?”
Kameron enjoyed the breeze outside, his hands in his pockets. His chest still itched a bit and his shoulder ached when he moved wrong but they’d been hiding for a good two weeks. As soon as he was around the corner and knew Bear wouldn’t be able to see him, Kameron dug his phone out.
“Hey, Paolo. Tell me something good man.”

eBook Feature: Be My Alien

Hey readers! Yesterday I reviewed a story with not so hot aliens *shudders* ... and I'm bringing you more today featuring something from the opposite end of the spectrum. I had the honor of doing an initial beta read on this story and I loved it! Check out this eBook promo from M.A. Church and Julie Lynn Hayes, and come back tomorrow for some of my very own aliens!



Hey guys! Be My Alien is on the Coming Soon page and ready for pre-order. It’s scheduled for release by Dreamspinner on May 8th. This is the first a series of novel length books written by Julie Lynn Hayes and me. J

 
 

What’s an alien to do? Dumped at the Empire State Building by the very male he’s been trying to get a date with forever, Taz is stranded on a backwater planet called Earth with no money, no idea where the motel they rented is located, and… he’s starving to boot! The lovely moonlit skies he had admired no longer holds any appeal for him.

Where can he go, what can he do? The answer comes in a form of a human named Reed… and a love that will travel across the universe.


Blurb:

A man too busy for love…

Reed owns an upscale men’s boutique with a naughty back room. While making a late delivery to a client, he runs into Taz.

A man on a disastrous date…

When Taz agreed to come to Earth on a date, he didn’t expect to be dumped and left with no way home. Then he falls into Reed’s arms—literally.

A coffee date soon becomes a trip back to Reed’s apartment. But when Taz’s stripes begin to show, Reed discovers Taz comes from a planet far, far away.

Reed never believed aliens existed, but he’s facing one now. What in the world is he going to do?


Excerpt:

“Are you okay? Hello?”

Reed dragged his mind away from those sexy green eyes. “Ah, huh? What?”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to fall on top of you like that. You see, it was like this. I was pushed, and you just happened to be there and….” The stranger grinned at Reed. “And down we went.”

Reed shifted under the body lying so contentedly on top of him. Hell’s bells, the guy fit against him perfectly. From the feel of things, they were both close to the same height. Which also meant certain things were… aligned. “Oh yeah, I’m okay. Banged my head a little, but I’m fine.”

The stranger bit his bottom lip, his teeth worrying the tender skin. Reed debated slamming his head against the floor a few more times in the hopes of rattling his brain back to normal as the stranger rolled off him.

“I really am sorry.”

“No harm done.” Reed sat up and looked at the guy once again. Well, not much harm, anyway. His libido just had to pick now to perk up, didn’t it? But damn, this guy was sexy. Reed struggled to his feet and held his hand out to the man still on the floor, looking up at him. The guy took his hand and let Reed pull him up. “Name’s Reed. Are you okay?”

“Hi, Reed!” The guy hopped to his feet in a single, lithe movement, as if it was the most….world. “My name is Taz. Nice to meet you, and yes, I am.”

For a moment there was a flash in the guy’s eyes that belied his statement. “Good, that’s good. Glad to hear it. Well, I guess I’d better be going—”

A forlorn expression crossed Taz’s face and his pretty eyes clouded. “Oh.” 

Reed hesitated. There was something about the guy that pulled at him. When was the last time he’d felt that pull? Way too long ago. Taz was cute, sure. But there was this look of hurt. Dammit, Taz just looked so lost. Insane as it was, he wanted to make it all better.

Weekly Review: Signal to Noise by Talya Andor

Signal to NoiseSignal to Noise by Talya Andor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Signal to Noise was a very interesting story. Okay... it has underage twincest, which really isn't my thing but I could overlook the actual sex scenes and still really enjoyed the story. If you can't do that, then don't read it. Fortunately the author does warn prospective readers.

The complex universe with the various groups wasn't as fleshed out as the immediate military hierarchy but I still was able to understand the 'bigger picture' of the setting. The compound on Noise, the descriptions of the planet, and the 'bad aliens' *shudders* were very vividly described.

In many ways, this story was really well done. There were diverse 'villians' and I felt the character progression of the human ones were done quite well. The supporting characters were a larger pool than a lot of stories use in such a short plot period, but I was able to keep the different people straight-in part because as part of a military group they were so very regimented into specific roles.

If I had any complaint, it would be that the twins were too 'similar'. I'd have liked to see them have more distinct personalities ... but would that have fit in with the story as plotted? They had a unique bond (not just about the sex, so if you read this and skip that, it still makes sense)and they spent a lot of their formative time alone. I wasn't unredeemably confused ... it's just something I noticed as I read that keeping them apart and remember which had which physical appearance/personality was hard.

This story was good, enough so that I check back from time to time to see if a sequel is in the works. I'd like to read more about the twin's journey and the war overall.

Wednesday Briefs: One Night Part 17



It's that time again! This week, for my 1k flash story with the Wednesday Briefer's I chose the line prompt, "Don't stop until I tell you to..." ;) You can imagine maybe what's going to be going on. Mebbe. Read on!
 
One Night Part 17


Kameron rolled over and looked at Bear. He had a small line between his eyebrows even though he was asleep. Absentmindedly, Kameron scratched his chest, then winced when he hit a sore spot. Bear needed his pills, but he needed to take them with food.

When he drove in, Kameron saw a grocery store about two miles away. He’d go pick up a few things and bring back something from their bakery for breakfast. To do that, he’d have to leave the bed though, and Kameron didn’t want to leave Bear.

The line on Bear’s forehead didn’t disappear when Kameron gently rubbed it with a fingertip. He jerked his head and then whimpered.

Okay, he was definitely hurting.

“Bear.” Kameron gently rubbed his shoulder. “Hey, Bear, wake up.”

Blinking his eyes, Bear slowly woke up. “Hey.” He cleared his throat and winced. “Damn. I hurt.”

Kameron nodded. “We slept all night and you haven’t had any pain pills in a while. I was going to run to the store, but I need you to get up and lock the door behind me and then let me in when I come back. I thought you could bunk down on the couch and watch some TV or something.”

“Yeah. I gotta pee anyway.”

Only, when Bear tried to sit up, he collapsed backward with a sharp cry. He pressed his arms over his chest. “Motherfucker!”

“Let me help.” Kameron got up and moved over to Bear’s side of the bed.

“Don’t pull your stitches,” Bear warned him when Kameron leaned over the bed.

“I’m fine; let me worry about that.” Kameron slid one arm under Bear’s shoulders and held the other one out in front of him. “Okay, just like at the hospital, nice and smooth.” Bear held on to his arm and together they swung him around until he could swing his legs over the side of the bed and sit up.

Kameron kept his face smooth when the cut under his left nipple pulled.

“I’m fine now.” Kameron let Bear sit on the bed as he used the bathroom first, then grabbed their toiletries and got cleaned up. He stood in the living room and watched Bear slowly make his way to the bathroom.

“I’ll take our bags into the bedroom and get dressed.” Kameron put their suitcases on the bed. Once he was dressed he grabbed the top blanket and a pillow off the bed and took them out to the couch. Bear was already sitting on the end.

“It’s pretty comfortable,” he said when Kameron asked him if he would be able to lay on it.

“Good.”

Once he had everything ready for Bear, he picked up his phone, keys, and wallet.

“Cash only,” Bear reminded him.

They weren’t sure how smart the Zbrane gang was, or if they’d have electronic means of tracking them. Criminals, even thug ones, were getting technology smart.

“I know.”

At the door, Kameron leaned down and kissed Bear, unable to resist. Anyone could have walked in on them while they were in the hospital, so they hadn’t had the chance to kiss properly. Kameron licked at Bear’s lips until he parted them, then sank in, stroking Bear’s tongue and tasting him.

He pulled back before they could get too carried away. His cock was already half-hard. They were finally in a private place and Bear wasn’t mad at him. Maybe later he could convince the small man to fool around, once he’d eaten and had some pain pills. “I like the cinnamon toothpaste. Spicy.”

Bear licked his lips. “Okay, you need to go so you can come back and we can do that some more.”

Maybe he wouldn’t have to work too hard to convince Bear. Kameron chuckled. “I’m going. Lock up behind me and don’t answer unless I call you and then knock five times.”

Raising an eyebrow, Bear shook his head. “Do you think that’s really necessary?”

Kameron undid the locks. “I don’t care if it’s silly. I won’t risk you again.”

***

Bear couldn’t find anything good on TV; he didn’t want to check his email, and he certainly didn’t want to work. All of his clients had gotten a message when he first got hurt, so he was ostensibly on vacation. He decided that dozing would mean he wouldn’t feel the stabbing pains in his ribs. Of course, when his phone rang his cock was painfully rigid and tenting his sweats. He’d been dreaming about Kameron.

“Hello.” He sounded like he’d been chewing on rocks.

“Hey, it’s me. I’ll be up in a few minutes.”

“Okay. Bye.”

Bear set his phone down on the coffee table and reached into his sweats to arrange himself. He grunted, tempted to jerk off, but he didn’t. He needed the few minutes before Kameron caught the elevator to get to the door.

Rolling onto his side, Bear used the arm of the couch to slowly lever himself up. Sweat broke out on his forehead and his cock wasn’t on his mind at all by the time he was up and on his feet.

Kameron noticed it right away though.

“Ouch babe, that looks painful.”

“So does carrying,” Bear counted quickly, “seven bags of groceries! Go put those down.”

He shuffled into the kitchen and used his good hand to help take things out of bags for Kameron to put away.

“Croissants, fruit salad, and ….” Kameron produced a bag of coffee that Bear actually liked that could be bought in a grocery store.

“Oh, thank you.”

They ate sitting on the couch. Putting their plates on the table, Kameron knelt between Bear’s legs.

“I know we haven’t done this before, but I want to suck you.”

Bear’s erection hadn’t really gone away and it came back in a flash when the tall man between his legs reached for the waistband of his sweats. “I’ll stop if you want.”

Bear glared at him. “Don’t stop until I tell you to! Which I won’t.”
