An excerpt from The Eloquent Jock...by Cassandra Carr
Brendan’s mouth dropped open. “Want…me?”
“Why is that so hard to believe?” I am so screwed, and not
in a good way. A headache began to take hold and he moved his hand to massage
harder.
“Look at you,” Brendan waved a hand in Scott’s general
direction. “You’re gorgeous, you’re successful, you’re sophisticated. I’m just
some confused shmuck who’s never even kissed a guy.”
“Never?” I should not care about this. I need to stop. No
good can come of this.
Brendan’s face bloomed red. “No. I’m not the type to walk
into some gay bar and pick up a guy. Just the thought of it kinda makes me want
to puke.”
“Not everyone is interested in that lifestyle.”
“Are you?” Brendan shook his head. “I’m sorry. I don’t have
the right to ask you that. I know I’m making an ass of myself right now, I just
don’t know what to do.”
“About what?” Scott dug himself deeper with every word, but
he couldn’t stop.
Brendan clenched his fists on the desk, tapping his
knuckles. Meanwhile, his right leg bounced and the poor kid looked as if he
would self-combust from the red suffusing his face.
After a moment of charged silence, Brendan said, “So, you
want me, but can’t have me.”
“Right.”
“Well, you’re the first guy I’ve ever wanted. I’ve known
about my sexuality for a while now, but this is the first time I’ve met
somebody who actually interested me beyond a casual attraction. And this sucks.
I’m distracted; I can’t do my schoolwork; I’m making mistakes on the ice. I
can’t have this.”
Scott leaned against the window and asked, “Then what do you
want to do?”
Brendan licked his lips and Scott’s treacherous gaze
followed the movement. “This.” Before Scott could even react, Brendan had
grabbed him and kissed him, sloppily pushing his tongue into Scott’s mouth even
as Scott tried to force his muddled brain to catch up with the program. He
moaned as Brendan’s strong arms came around his waist, pulling their groins
together. For a guy with no experience, the man revved Scott up pretty fucking
fast. His dick pushed against Brendan’s sizable erection. Brendan moaned and
the back of Scott’s head bounced off the glass behind him as Brendan attacked
his mouth with even more vigor.
The pain radiating through his skull brought Scott out of
his trance. He shoved Brendan away—shit, the guy had some strength for a man
his size—and retreated to the corner of the office. Brendan stood between him
and the door or he would’ve bolted that way.
“We can’t do this,” he managed to gasp out. His body had a
very different opinion, but Scott ignored his baser needs. Someone had to take
charge and stop this madness.
“You said you wanted me.”
Scott blew out a loud breath through his nose. “That doesn’t
mean we should do anything about it. In fact, it would be a lot safer for both
of us if we didn’t.”
“Because you’re a professor?”
“Well yes, that. And I’m, what, fifteen years older than
you?”
“You’re saying I’m just some dumb kid who doesn’t know any
better?” Brendan began to turn away, but then spun back. “You responded to me.
That might’ve been my first kiss, but I know what happened. You liked it.”
Putting up a hand in a placating gesture, Scott said, “I’m
not denying anything, but enjoying a kiss and letting it go on are two
different things.”
“I get it.” Scott tried to go on, but Brendan stopped him.
“No, I do. I get it. I’m sorry.” Before Scott could stop him, he’d grabbed his
bag off the chair he’d dumped it onto earlier, yanked open the door, and
slipped through it. As he slammed the door behind him, Scott slumped to the
floor.
“That went well, you jackass,” he muttered.
An excerpt from Switching Leads…by Mia Downing
John nodded slowly. “I never realized how you felt about me
or my riding. I never believed…” He took a deep breath. “You told me you loved
me, and then I found you in bed with Dean, and then the job…” He shrugged and
looked away. “I never believed how you felt about me then. And I’ve been pissed
for ten years.”
Finn swallowed, his heart hammering. “Now do you believe I
felt that way?” He wasn’t going to ask if John believed he loved him still.
Baby steps.
John’s gaze flickered from Finn’s eyes to mouth and back up
again in a slow perusal that seared Finn’s skin. “Yeah,” he said hoarsely and
leaned across the stool between them. His lips brushed Finn’s surprised ones in
a gentle kiss.
He’d dreamed about this for so long—John’s acceptance of his
apology—but never had it ended like this, with those firm lips sliding across
his as if coaxing belief from the inside.
John withdrew and slid from his stool. He spun Finn’s seat a
little and eased between Finn’s thighs, the beginning of an erection pressing
against Finn’s zipper. Finn’s cock throbbed at the contact, his belly
contracting with anticipation.
“I’m sorry,” John whispered, his pupils dilated, eyes hooded
as he stared down into Finn’s eyes. His chest rose and fell rapidly against
Finn’s.
“For what?”
“For being unprofessional. I’ve never kissed a co-worker
before.” John bent and brushed Finn’s mouth in another kiss, this one a little
longer with a touch of heat. Finn didn’t dare open his mouth and beg for
tongue. In the past, Finn had ruled their sex life, had directed the kisses.
The fact that John had switched leads on him was as heady as a bottle of good
Bourbon.
“I promise I won’t tell,” Finn murmured when John lifted his
lips.
John cupped the back of Finn’s head with his palm. “Good.”
An excerpt from Winning Bracket...by Annabeth Albert
“Hold up. If I filled out a bracket and mine beat yours,
you’d do whatever I wanted? Like anything?”
“Sure.” Ollie shrugged, an insolent lift of surprisingly
wide shoulders inside a too-big shirt. “I mean not all day. But sure, you want
me to be a slave for an hour or something, I can take it.”
Ka-pow. The firecracker exploded, hot want raining down on
Edwin, sparking against his skin. Anything. Ollie-as-slave images began to run
on repeat in his brain, Ollie getting considerably less clothing with each
pass. Edwin could ask for anything, and it would just be a joke to Ollie—a lark
to be laughed over later, no more of a big deal than opening up with a can of
silly string or shorting his sheets every night for a week.
Oh my god. Would it work? Could he use something like this—a
stupid bet on stupid basketball—to exorcise the Ollie demons that had plagued
him for years, all without having to admit how he felt about Ollie? Because
while Ollie had been busy with the jock-crush-of-the-month plan, Edwin had been
hung up on Ollie. For three and a half years. If a stupid bet could shake Edwin
free, then it was worth having to learn something about basketball.
“Okay,” he whispered.
“Yay!” Ollie clambered off the bed, springs squeaking as he
hit the floor. “You’ll see. This is going to be a great couple of weeks! So
what are we going to play for this week? If my bracket does better by Sunday
night, you send an email supporting the next watch party and you show up. And
if you win…”
“I want a kiss.” The words escaped Edwin before he could
call them back, before he could temper them with logic or suppress them with
reality.
We hope
you enjoy the bundle!
