Six Sentence Sunday: Accidental Love

Today’s Six Sentence Sunday is another little bit from my college roommates novella:

Keith buried his head against Greg’s neck again and drove his hips hard and fast, reaching his own finish line less than a minute later. A low growl escaped his throat as his orgasm tore through him.

He relaxed against Greg as his body shivered with aftershocks. Holy shit, was all his mind could seem to serve up. All the sex he’d had for the past year and a half put together couldn’t measure up to that.

He might have just spoiled himself for nameless, faceless casual sex forever.

Six Sentence Sunday: In From The Cold

For this week’s Six Sentence Sunday, here’s a little first-kiss snippet from the second Christmas-season short I’m trying to get finished up and submitted this week. With everything else I have going on, it’s going to be pretty tough. Wish me luck. 🙂 

Neal shuddered against him, but he didn’t pull away, instead tucking his face into Jeff’s chest. Eventually, he slid his own arms around Jeff’s waist, tugging them even closer, and Jeff closed his eyes and tried to hold back a shiver that had nothing to do with the temperature. He wasn’t entirely successful, though, and he felt Neal stop breathing for a few seconds.

Slowly, Neal lifted his head, and their gazes met, faces just inches apart. Jeff didn’t ponder what he was about to do. He just moved one hand to the back of Neal’s head and pulled him in for a kiss.

Six Sentence Sunday: The Cabin on the Hill

For this week’s Six Sentence Sunday, I dipped into the backlist and came up with this little snippet from my short story “The Cabin on the Hill.” Sleepy!boys for the win!

“Mmmm.” Eli coughed a little, and Jesse heard him swallow thickly. “Don’t tell me it’s morning already.” 

The rough edges of his sleepy voice made Jesse smile and certain parts of his body sit up and take notice. “Barely,” he murmured back, rubbing one hand over Eli’s where it sat on his stomach. “No reason to be awake yet, really.”

Six Sentence Sunday: Sand & Water

With release day for Sand & Water coming up tomorrow, my Six Sentence Sunday this time around is another little glimpse at Bryan and John:

Bryan’s fingers brushed over the light stubble along John’s jaw, and his thumb rubbed the edge of John’s chin. The light touches sent tingles across John’s skin, raising goosebumps like a cool breeze on a warm day. His body wanted more, the desire and arousal inside him begging to be set free, but he tamped it down. Slow and steady, he told himself. This feels amazing. Enjoy every moment.

Six Sentence Sunday: Accidentally In Love

For this week’s Six Sentence Sunday, a moment from a soon-to-be-submitted novella about college roommates.

Grant slipped into the room as quietly as he could. Keith sure seemed to be sleeping, sprawled out on his stomach, one leg pulled up and one arm under the pillow supporting his head. Grant tried not to stare, but the sheet had pulled down, exposing the long line of Keith’s back in the low light from the window, and Grant couldn’t look away. Keith shifted as he watched, muscles bunching and stretching under his smooth skin, and Grant spun around on his heel, setting his backpack on his desk and pressing his eyes shut.

Cut it the hell out, he ordered himself. No crushing on the roommate.

Six Sentence Sunday: Christening

My Six Sentence Sunday this week is from a super-short freebie coming up as part of a promotion in a couple of months. Enjoy!

Adrian curled an arm up and ran his fingers into Tucker’s hair. He hit a tangle, looked down, and laughed when he realized it was a blob of paint. “Jesus, Tucker, I think you got as much on you as on the wall.”

Tucker turned his head, propping his chin up on Adrian’s chest. He grinned and raised that eyebrow again. “Lucky for me, I have a boyfriend who loves helping me get clean after a hot, sweaty workout.”

(Embarrassment of the day: misspelling my own name in the links list. Ack.)

Six Sentence Sunday: Learning Curve

My first attempt at scheduling a blog post on WordPress, so let’s hope it works. 🙂 My Six Sentence Sunday this week is from a novel-in-progress with a twist on a teacher/student storyline.

Ben glanced up and had the good fortune—or misfortune, considering the circumstances—of catching David’s gaze. If Ben had been expecting David to still be laughing, he would’ve been badly mistaken. Instead, David’s eyes were open wide, dark and burning into Ben’s, and his lips were parted slightly, shining, as if he’d been licking them. His cheeks were lightly flushed, and Ben could see his chest rising and falling quickly.

All in all, he looked like nothing less than a model of pure, unadulterated lust. Ben knew he should look away, but he couldn’t, even as he felt his own body responding.

Six Sentence Sunday: Sand & Water

Missed last week because I was traveling and internet-less, but back for this week’s Six Sentence Sunday with a paragraph from my upcoming first novel, Sand & Water.

Bryan’s fingers brushed over the light stubble along John’s jaw, and his thumb rubbed the edge of John’s chin. The light touches sent tingles across John’s skin, raising goosebumps like a cool breeze on a warm day. His body wanted more, the desire and arousal inside him begging to be set free, but he tamped it down. Slow and steady, he told himself. This feels amazing. Enjoy every moment.

Six Sentence Sunday: The Christmas Spirit

Jumping into the Six Sentence Sunday fray with a sample from the Christmas-themed story I just finished, titled “The Christmas Spirit.”

I follow Cord’s gaze, and just a few yards away, at the dark edge of the dance floor, I finally see myself. I’ve got my hands in the back pockets of some guy whose name I don’t know, with another body pressed up behind me. This time I can’t remember what happened next. Neither of the men looks familiar, and it’s at that moment I realize how few of the men I’ve bedded—or walled, or chaired, or whatever—have been memorable enough for me to recall their names, much less their faces. Stick it in a hole long enough to get off; that’s been enough for me.

Suddenly it doesn’t seem like enough anymore, and I’m ashamed to watch myself doing it.
