Stand-alone Stories

Now We're Even 


College students Callie Read and Haines Bennett rub each other the wrong way. And that’s the way they like it. But there’s an undercurrent of sexual interest that has their mutual friends betting that it’s only a matter of time before they’re doing it the right way.

But after a typical Friday night partying at the local campus pub, Hainsey takes is upon himself to teach Callie a much needed lesson about teasing the wrong guy. For her own good, of course. But tying her up while she’s passed out, he takes things a little too far.

The next weekend Callie retaliates, getting even and giving Hainsey some overdue instruction of his own. The proverbial tit for tat.

Can they bury the hatchet and call it even or have they effectively ruined an already precarious relationship with their raunchy one-upmanship?

+18 Excerpt from Xmas Spouse Swap

“Check it out!” Kyle cheered when he got an eye full of the two of them in their similar low-cut short nighties, topped off with the Santa hats.

“How about a little holiday hoe-down, fellas?” Siri invited, seductively doing a full body roll. 


“Merry freakin’ Christmas!” Kyle bellowed, then cranked the music. 


Siri seemed to perk up at his exuberance. 

“How about we give them a show they won’t ever forget?” Siri pulled alongside Iris so they were hip to hip and gave her a playful bump. Then she tempted Kyle and Brett with the most sensually fluid arm gestures, using her wrists and her fingers to beckon them closer. “We’ll get them so hot and horny they won’t know what to do with themselves.” 

Kyle all but floated over to them. “What have we here?” He placed one hand on Iris’ hip and his other on Siri’s and began to move with them to the rhythm. 

Both women sidled up to Kyle. Greedily, he wrapped his arms around each of them. 

“Fuck you, Brett, my Christmas wish came true!” he called. “I got both Beaulieu sisters.” 

For a few minutes, Brett sat in a chair across the room with his snifter of Brandy and simply watched the girls dance provocatively with Kyle. 

For some reason, Iris couldn’t keep her gaze from straying to Brett. Yes, he was keeping close tabs on his wife and Kyle, but Iris could also feel the heat of his intensity on her as well. It made her want to move more sensually, just for him. 

“Your husband likes to watch,” Kyle said to Siri. 

“Indeed he does,” Siri replied in a sultry voice. 

For some reason, the thought fascinated Iris. 

Iris pried her attention away from Brett to look at Kyle. His eyes were heavy with arousal. He was definitely getting off on dancing with the two of them. Siri was feeding off him, as well. 

Wickedly, Iris wanted Brett to take pleasure in them, too. “Come, Brett, join us.” Iris tried to imitate the same dramatic gestures with her arms as Siri had when calling to Kyle. She was pleased when Brett set his glass down and made his way over. 

To her delight, he didn’t immediately go to his wife. Instead, he placed his hands on Iris’ waist and moved with her. She, in turn, raised her arms and cupped his broad shoulders. Tentatively, she petted the soft fleece of his pullover. 

For a big man, he moved fluidly. His gaze traveled over the deep U shape of her borrowed camisole before returning to her face. 

Gradually the guys moved in, practically sandwiching Iris and Siri between them. Iris ended up back to back with her sister. 

Brett was so close his brandy-scented breath fanned across Iris’ face, but it was the potency of his stare she found intoxicating. 

Before long, Kyle, who was still holding Siri, reached for Iris. Skimming with his hand, he followed the curve of her neck and shoulder and part way down her arm. He then detoured around to the front, where he cupped her breast and fondled it. She was both mortified and turned on at the same time, especially when Brett lowered his gaze and watched Kyle’s hand at work. Brett ever so slowly trailed his hand up her side and rested his palm on the side of her other breast. He caressed her side boob with his thumb. The soft gesture sent the most delicious tendrils of sensation straight to her pussy. 

Iris had to bite her lip to keep from moaning. Her nipples hardened to aching points as Brett and Kyle double-teamed her. Yet she wanted more, much more. What would it be like to be touched by both men at the same time? She tried to resist the urge to fidget, hoping to direct Brett’s hand where she craved it most. 

Not to be outdone, Siri turned her back to Kyle, yet kept him close. Iris wondered if her sister could feel her husband’s erection nudging her ass. There was no doubt that all four of them were equally aroused at their spontaneous play. 

“Move your hip just a smidge, Eye,” Siri whispered. 

Shamelessly, Siri reached around Iris and palmed her husband’s cock through his trousers. “Ohhh, aren’t you nice and hard!” Siri crooned. 

Iris fisted her hands. Her fingers itched to find out for herself just how hard he truly was. She peered up at Brett, wondering about his reaction. 

But to her surprise, he wasn’t even looking at Siri. His focus was squarely on her. It made her yearn to touch him all the more. 

Siri chuckled. 

Iris was sure the low devious sound went through them all. It certainly did her. 

“Seems Kyle isn’t the only man who has a twin fetish.” Siri all but purred. She was enjoying this, and not only in the physical sense. She was pushing Iris right out of her comfort zone, and if Iris wasn’t mistaken, she was doing the same to Brett. 

Iris had to occupy her hands or she might do something insane, like swat her sister’s hand aside so she could take the full and complete measure of her hunky brother-in-law’s mouth-watering erection. Yet she was loath to turn away from Brett, just in case he, too, decided to do the unthinkable—like fondle her breast and not merely tease the side. God, how she wanted him to. Instead, Iris reached behind her and groped for Kyle. With Siri’s new positioning, she could now reach him. She bumped his thigh. He stepped closer, repositioning, obviously eager for some attention as well. Iris dragged her hand up to his balls and gave them a firm squeeze. 

“Mmm,” he hummed, and tucked his hips under, seeking more TLC. 

Iris caressed him, working her palm up and down his stiff shaft. 

“Yeah,” he drawled. 

Just when she thought there was nothing left Siri could do to shock her, her sister proved her wrong. 

She leaned in and murmured, “Touch him.” With a lift of her chin, she offered her husband. 

Siri’d always been the devil on Iris’ shoulder, whispering in her ear, prodding her to act. Or was her twin simply reading her mind—somehow all-knowing when it came to her deepest, darkest desires. 

When Iris hesitated, Siri gripped her other hand from where it sat benignly upon Brett’s shoulder and guided it over his chest and washboard abs. Iris was inordinately pleased when his muscles rippled under her touch. 

For the moment, she didn’t possess the dexterity or mentality to stimulate both men at the same time. Her grasp on Kyle relaxed, yet he continued to thrust his hips, pumping his cock between her inert fingers. 

Bit by bit, Siri eased her hold, then finally left Iris to her own devices. 

Selfishly, she continued to explore the hard plains of Brett’s chiseled core. 

“Touch her,” Siri urged her husband. 

With apparently single-minded calculation, Siri was pushing their respective boundaries toward the tipping point. 

Brett’s nostrils flared, his pupils dilated. His grip at her waist tightened. 

He wants to. A wicked thrill raced through Iris. Goose bumps erupted all over her highly sensitized skin. 

Siri turned away from them and shifted her focus back to Kyle. His firm cock slipped from Iris’ grasp. 

Now Iris had the advantage of using both hands. She placed her palms over Brett’s firm pecs, and after giving each an appreciative squeeze, she changed direction and made a slow and deliberate journey down his ribcage. She sensed the tenuously harnessed tension in him. 

Brett’s fingers twitched at the side of her breast. 

Reflexively, she arched her back, desperate for his touch. 

It became a silent battle of sorts between them—who would step over that forbidden line first? 

The pad of his thumb brushed her areola, coming ever so close to her straining nipple. 

“Oh, God,” she murmured. Her eyes fluttered as she tried to maintain eye contact with Brett. That connection in and of itself was stimulating her on a whole other level. 

A nerve in Brett’s jaw ticked erratically. 

By accident, she bumped the bulge at his waistband. Hastily, she jerked her hand away as if she’d been burned. 

A growl radiated through his chest. She more felt it than heard it. 

The tip of his thumb nudged her aching nipple. 

She whimpered and fisted her hands in his sweater. The action pulled him closer. 

His gaze dropped to her mouth. 

Suddenly he cleared his throat, dropped his hands, and took a step back. “I think it’s time for bed.” 

Stunned, Iris blinked rapidly, feeling as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her. 

“Right. Bed.” Kyle agreed. 

Each man grabbed his woman and practically ran for their respective bedrooms.

#MySexySaturday Date Night #excerpt from #GayForYou Better Than Another Man

Welcome to the 78th week of My Sexy Saturday.


This week’s theme is My Sexy Date. Not every couple falls in love at first sight. Sure, many do know the moment they see someone but what about those who don’t. They go on dates. Sometimes lots of dates. Sometimes not enough dates. Hopefully there is at least one they can consider a sexy date. The type where fireworks goes off from the moment they are picked up. This week is about those dates that turn into that special one. 

This week a snip from Better Than Another Man...

Blurb: 


Better than Another Man is a love story between two best friends, Bryan and Carey. Bryan is straight and Carey is gay, but they stand by each other through the milestones of their lives, including Carey’s coming out.

But when a family tragedy strikes, Bryan turns to Carey for support, and their relationship moves in an unexpected direction.


Can a straight man and a gay man enter into an intimate relationship, or will it destroy their friendship forever?


Who knows Better Than Another Man…



Excerpt: 

Carey and I had an ordinary meal out together. We’d done it a thousand times, but in this instance, I was looking at him in a whole new light. Frequently, I found myself jerking my hand back from taking his or touching him across the table. I knew that he was amused. But this was all new to me. I wasn’t sure of myself or him. Or how our friends might react to seeing us this way. Not that I’d care what they thought. I was proud of Carey.

Our interaction with each other seemed different, too. At moments we were just our typical selves, and other times it was almost flirty and teasing. The customary insulting yet playful banter took on a whole new sexual connotation.


But on the ride home, the reality of the situation sank in and I realised what might happen when we got there. I was eager yet anxious. I still felt that excited simmer in my stomach, the sensation that you get when you know it’s a sure thing and you’re going to have sex at the end of your evening. But I didn’t know how far I could go. Was it enough that I was eager for the attempt?


We entered the apartment and I felt more than uncomfortable.
“So? Your room or mine?” Carey asked, out of the blue.


I stared at him.


He grinned, taking me by the shoulder, obviously sensing my uneasiness. “Relax,” he advised. “Taking it slow. Right?”


I released a nervous laugh. “Right.”

#MySexySaturday - Better Than Another Man #GLBT #Erotica


This week My Sexy Saturday belongs to Carey and Bryan from Better Than Another Man released by eXtasy Books. This book had a completely rocky start and continues to get comments from nasty to nice. (One of the nice ones is featured on my review page, from Gabbi at Top 2 Bottom Reviews)

It all depends how you look at the world, I guess, and what you consider a happy ending. Publishers want you to keep your writing as real as possible but when you give readers real, sometimes its not what they're looking for. Perhaps this is why we as readers devour so many books, because we get enough of reality in our day to day lives. When we read we want to escape. And sometimes this is also why authors write. Often an idea comes and we have to be true to it. Its why I didn't change the ending of BTAM just to get it published. I knew what the conclusion of this book had to be from the very first word and I did so, to be true to myself and the characters. And in all honesty, I consider it to be a happy ending.

I hope you enjoy the snippet from a bittersweet story about real friends and deep love.

warning: this is a love story meaning that while there is love, there is not a romantic ending.
Excerpt:

Carey wrapped one of his big hands around the back of my neck, his deep blue eyes searching mine. “And so it begins, huh? What are we gonna do without each other?”

I felt myself moving as if in a dream. My gaze fixated on his lips. I wanted to taste them again. I placed my hands on either side of his face as if I was afraid he might pull away, but somehow knowing that he wouldn’t. I gave into what I’d wanted to do since this morning and I kissed him.

Carey didn’t even tense this time but moved into my kiss, his lips firm and warm. He looped his arms around my back and pulled me closer. It felt good. It felt right. But so wrong at the same time. What the fuck was I doing? My cock was rock hard in an instant. I was so aroused and taken aback at the same time.

I was out of my element here. When Carey ran his tongue over the seam of my closed lips I opened for him and accepted his tongue, sliding my own tentatively against his.

He dropped his hips, bringing his equally hard dick in contact with mine, rubbing our parts together expertly, increasing the exquisite awakening in me.

I moaned with a combination of need and helplessness. Part of me wanted to go further and the other half didn’t and as always, my best friend knew what I could handle.

Carey brought the kiss slowly to an end and he held me as we both struggled to breathe.

I didn’t know what to say or do. I had no idea what was going on with me, other than I needed him.

Carey ran his thumb over my lower lip, drying it. “You’re not gay. I know.”  
I laughed, relieved in a way, disappointed in another.

'Better Than Another Man' Release Day

My first m/m story Better Than Another Man and my first release with eXtasy is now available!!!

I'm really excited about this story. This is not a genre that I write in, or one that I particularly read. It is a new one for me and to my knowledge, this will most likely be the only m/m story that I produce, unless my muse has other ideas, but for now he is keeping silent. But when this story came to me, I had to get it down.

The story has already been described as very moving and real. These words meant a lot to me, because these men were very real to me while I was writing them. I feel like the relationship that Bryan and Carey have, is the kind of friendship and love that only a lucky few get to experience and the rest of us strive endlessly to find it. It doesn't matter what gender, we all just want to be loved.

I really hope that if  you choose to read this story that you will enjoy it. I'd love to hear your thoughts. 

Thanks for stopping,
 H K

Author News - Streetlight People General Release Day and a 5 Star Review for Lost Time

Today is general release day for Streetlight People an erotic mΓ©nage Γ  trois m/f/f  short story from Total-E-Bound. This was a little departure for me, a genre I have never written in before.

Streetlight People is a story about some college kids and a little experimentation.

I hope you'll check it out and hope you enjoy it.
(I will post more buy links for Streetlight Peeps throughout the day as they become available.)

Blurb:

We all have hidden desires. Sometimes we conceal them, even from ourselves.

Andrea, your average college co-ed, has signed up for some extra courses at the local university, but so far the only thing that has sparked her interest is the sexy guy on campus with the tight-fitting jeans, muscle-hugging T-shirt and ever-present shabby cowboy boots. From their fiery exchange of awareness, the admiration is not completely one-sided.

After a miserable day at her part-time job and a few drinks, Andi takes a walk, only to find herself in the arms of her campus crush, Street. As the two get to know each other rather robustly against a storefront window, Street’s girlfriend appears and issues a deliciously steamy proposition.

Andrea soon realises she’s about to get a crash course in down-and-dirty street smarts that she won’t soon forget, under the smouldering tutelage of Street and his exotic-looking girlfriend, Toni. Apparently, you can score anything on the street these days—even a threesome!

After a frenzied night of satisfying experimentation, Andi sneaks out while her two companions sleep, escaping the particularly awkward morning after. But in the stark light of day, Andi has to admit that her feelings for Street are more than simple infatuation, and Toni isn’t a part of the new equation.

Could Andrea possibly hope Street might feel the same?
 
Also this past week I received my first review for Lost Time an erotic time-travel romance, it's one of my favourites. And I was ecstatic to receive 5 Stars from Alberta of Manic Readers.

Blurb:
Within this frame, his curse is time…

Hannah Keys thinks she’s setting off on the trip of her dreams, but after one mishap after another—beginning with her best friend abandoning her in the airport and ending with the man of her dreams dead—she’s renaming it the vacation from hell.

When Hannah Keys discovers a four-hundred-year-old portrait in Wales, she is intrigued and somewhat saddened by the handsome Highlander portrayed by the artist’s masterful, lifelike strokes. But when she runs into the majorly hunky model for the painting—in the flesh, in the middle of the night—she learns first-hand all about masterful strokes when she shares a night of medieval passion with him.

Lockhart Munro has been cursed inside the portrait until he meets Hannah Keys. For four hundred years, no one has heard him or seen him, let alone touched him. The one woman who can do all these things may be the key to his long-awaited freedom.

But if Hannah sets Lockhart free from his prison, will she be cursed to spend the rest of her lifetime without him?

Or perhaps freeing Lockhart will be just the beginning…

I believe your stay in purgatory has only just begun... 

Scotland - 1307 - During the Scottish Wars of Independence

Gard Marschand will stop at nothing in his pursuit to regain what is lost. Concealing his true identity, he will associate with his enemies, kill his own countrymen, even sell his soul to the devil if all else fails. He will lie, cheat, steal, rape and siege his way across two countries gaining power and reputation in his malevolent wake. His determination all consuming, until King Edward commands Gard to lay siege on Ross-shire holding, where Braelynn Galbraith obliterates his single-minded purpose.


Braelynn Galbraith wants peace for her beloved Scotland, marriage to her childhood sweetheart, Callum, and a house full of children. In that order. But evil incarnate in the form of Gard Marschand, turns her life inside out and destroys all hope of a decent marriage. 
 
 Can Gard abandon his deep-seated need of revenge for a love that might just save his soul, or will he succumb to the demons that hound him and surrender to the devil within?


Thanks for all the support my Streetlight Peeps,

Happy Reading...
