I was a pretty boy. Everyone said so. I had the
right looks for the modeling business and I'd made a lot of money plastering my
face all over the world. I had a brain, too, but no one seemed to notice
anything beyond my good looks. It was aggravating when they didn't.
I wanted Sgt. Dennis Cooper to notice. I wanted
him to see my pretty face and realize
I could carrying on an intelligent conversation at the same time. I wanted him
to want me the way I wanted him. It was frustrating when he didn't.
When someone else does notice, keeping Cooper safe
from them becomes more important than proving to the man that I was as smart as
I was pretty. It was just too bad Cooper didn't seem interested.
STORY EXCERPT
If I had to smile at one more idiot or shake one more
clammy hand, I was going to scream. Why my agent had suggested I attend this
stupid party, I would never know. I was really starting to think I needed to
find a new agent. I was nothing but window dressing at this damn thing.
The number of people who thought they could feel me up
because I was a model was staggering. I was pretty sure I had bruises on my ass
from being pinched so many times. And if one more person tried to get their
hands down my pants, I was going to hurt someone.
This was ridiculous. I had been at this party for over
two hours already, and I was so ready to go home. I glanced at my watch. It was
only eleven. The party would not doubt go on until the wee hours of the
morning. I had a shoot in the morning. I couldn't do wee hours. The
photographer would have my ass in a sling if I had bags under my eyes.
Maybe I could slide out without anyone catching me. It
wasn't like I'd be missed. This party was all about being pretty. There were at
least ten models here who were by far more attractive than me. I wasn't even
the most attractive waiter. Soon enough, there would be someone prettier than
me to take my place and I wouldn't have to endure these horrid cocktail
parties.
I hated them.
I wasn't putting myself down. I knew I had the right
looks for this business. My hefty bank account attested to that. Most models
made about what I did. I just invested better than most, and didn't spend
frivolously.
It wasn't like I needed all
that much. I had a spacious loft apartment. I had gotten it cheap because it
was above a Cuban restaurant. The smells were intoxicating. The music was
lively, but played all too late in the evening.
Strangely enough, I had grown
used to it.
There was always some sort of
buffet on the shoots, so I ate relatively cheap. I didn't own a television, but
I had the top of the line computer set-up. My biggest expense was my sweater
budget. As most of my clothes were provided for my shoots, I didn't need much
else. I usually showed up for shoots in my jeans and sweaters.
I had a strong addiction to
cashmere. I liked how soft it was, how it felt against my skin. I liked how it
made me feel. Cable-knit was my next favorite. I owned three pairs of well worn
jeans. I had over forty sweaters. Five Armani suits. Two tuxedos.
I didn't even want to
contemplate how many pairs of shoes I had.
I didn't indulge in drugs or
over-drinking. I wore one piece of jewelry, a silver bracelet given to me by my
grandma before she passed away. I never took it off, even for photo shoots. I
didn't travel all that often, and when I did, my travel expenses were paid for
by whoever I was modeling for. I had actually been around the world on someone
else's dime a couple of times.
The trip to South America a few months back had been
all on me. Just knowing my cousin Hank was really alive, and now living happily
with his boyfriend made any amount of money I had spent chartering a plane and
arranging everything more than worth it.
No matter how much I'd had to dip into my savings to
pay for that trip, I didn't regret one bit of it, except the car. I regretted
that damn car...if it could be called a car.
Metal box from hell came easily to mind.
I was going to regret a whole of a lot more if I didn't
get some fresh air. The air inside was stagnant, stale, and filled with the
overwhelming stench of smoke and sweat. I moved toward the balcony. It was a
bit chilly to be outside, but if I didn't, I was going to gag.
I pushed open the double glass doors leading to the
balcony and stepped through them. I took in a deep breath of fresh, clean
air—or at least what qualified as clean air in the city—and realized almost
immediately that I wasn't the only one out here.
I could smell at least four...no, five people out here,
and one of them smelled very familiar—and delicious. I craned my neck to get a
better view of the balcony. It was actually quite a large space with several
different seating areas, an infinity pool, and an unmanned bar.
The sound of a scuffle reached me. Considering who I
was scenting, that couldn't be good. I moved around the large wall divider and
spotted several men standing by one of the seating areas. They did not look as
if they were having a friendly conversation.
I tilted my head and lifted my ear toward them,
shamelessly eavesdropping.
"Who are you?" someone snapped. "Why are
you here?"
"I told you. I was just out here having a
cigarette."
The sound of flesh hitting flesh made me wince.
"Who are you? What did you hear?"
When I heard the unmistakable sound of a gun being
cocked, I knew I had to do something. All of my instincts were screaming at me.
Considering who—or rather what—I was, that was saying a lot.
"Darling," I called out as I stepped around
the corner. "Are you done with your cigarette yet? I'd like to head
home."
I plastered one of my award winning smiles on my face
as I strolled toward the small group of men. "There you are, love. Are you
ready to head home yet? I have a shoot in the morning. I need my beauty
sleep."
When I reached the men standing there staring at me, I
sent them all a friendly smile before leaning leaned up and pressing a kiss to
the lips of Sgt. Dennis Cooper.
My eyes widened just a bit when I felt an electrical
zing zip through me at the contact.
I hadn't been expecting that.

Louis Redgrave knew Etienne was his rajaaka the moment he laid eyes on the

STORY EXCERPT
"Five…
four… three…"
Charlie
O'Bannon laughed as someone on a loud speaker counted down the seconds to
midnight. He never knew a New Year's Eve party could be so much fun.
"Two…
one…"
The
spirit of celebration, excitement, and maybe just a little too much hot spiced
rum, made Charlie feel bold and inhibited. The moment someone shouted "Happy New Year", Charlie swung
around and grabbed the closest person to him and smacked their lips together.
When he
felt strong hands grab his hips and pull him close to a wonderfully hard body.
A rough tongue brushed against his. Charlie leaned into the kiss, all but
melting against whoever held him.
Charlie
had purposely stood under the mistletoe just for this reason. He had one New
Year's resolution this year and he planned to get it one way or another. He wanted
to get laid before the end of the year. He was going to start the new year with
a new outlook on life. He was going to start the year without being a virgin.
The lips
pressed against his were hard and searching, demanding, and Charlie loved every
moment of it. The low growl that rumbled through the chest pressed against his
sent tingles of desire shooting through every nerve ending in Charlie's body.
He
moaned and pushed closer, wanting to feel every contour of the hard body
holding him. Charlie couldn't remember the last time someone had kissed him
with such passion...maybe never.
The
mouth that hungrily covered his made him feel something all right, mostly the
hard cock pressed against his abdomen. Charlie was thrilled, but only because
it was a man holding him. At the beginning of the night when he'd devised his
plan, Charlie hadn't been particular. He would have taken a man or a woman.
He was
much happier with a man, though.
And the
one holding him, kissing him with a cruel ravishment, was perfect as far as
Charlie was concerned. There was such passion in the kiss, such hunger. Charlie
was shocked at his own eager response.
The lips
kissing him left his mouth to nibble a path to his earlobe. Charlie moaned,
arched his head back, baring his neck. He felt small pricks of pleasure and
pain as the man's teeth raked across his tender throat. The lips moving over
his skin were still warm and moist from the kiss.
Charlie's
heart began to hammer in his chest. His skin prickled at the man's touch,
little shocks of electricity shooting through his body.
"You
will be mine, kisa."
Charlie
shuddered, the deep timber tone of the man's voice whispered in his ear making
his knees quake. The man didn't question, he didn't ask. He demanded, as if he
knew Charlie was helpless to deny any want he had.
Charlie
nodded. A hot ache grew in his throat when he felt the man's teeth graze his
skin once again. Damn, he couldn't remember ever feeling anything so erotic. He
couldn't ever remember wanted to give in so much either. The overwhelming ache
pitting in his stomach was battling with his need to feel the man's teeth on
his throat again, and that was just weird.
"So beautiful, my little pet."
Charlie's
head snapped back. Pet? Drop dead
gorgeous or not, he was no man's pet. "Hey, man, the kiss was great and
all, but I can't—I don't even know your name."
"I
am Marcus." The man's large hand encircled Charlie's throat, his thumb
rubbing over the rapidly beating pulse. "But you can call me master."
Charlie
frowned. Master? He started to argue
until Marcus smiled and the light from the chandelier above flashed on his
perfectly white teeth...fangs.
Oh shit.
"Uh,
I don't think this is—"
"Do
not think, kisa. Obey."
"Uh…"
Before
Charlie could say more, Marcus's lips claimed his. Charlie tried to inhale, to
protest, but there didn't seem to be any air left in his lungs. Marcus had
sucked it all out with one simple touch of his lips.
Marcus
took his mouth with a savage intensity. Their tongues brushed together, each of
them fighting for dominance. Charlie finally groaned and leaned into the man's
body, giving up control and letting Marcus lead.
"I
have a room on the fifth floor," Charlie whispered, hoping he didn't sound
too forward.
"Lead
on, kisa."
Charlie
started for the elevator. Marcus walked so closely behind him, he could feel
the man's body heat. Charlie fumbled with the lock when they reached the hotel
room he had rented for the night. The tongue licking along his neck was driving
every thought out of his head except finding the closest flat surface.
Large
strong hands squeezed his ass sending a shock of arousal spiraling through
Charlie. "Open door, kisa."
Charlie
shivered at the strength of Marcus's words and concentrated on opening the door
to his hotel room. He was quickly pushed into the room. The door slammed closed
before he could even turn around.
Strong
arms wrapped around him from behind. Hot breath blew across the side of his
face. Large hands started quickly stripping his clothes away. Charlie didn't
know what to do. He just wanted to lean back into the hard body behind him and
let the larger man take control and continue to touch him.
When
Marcus's hand wrapped around his naked cock, Charlie's thoughts fragmented and
he couldn't think of anything else except the heat filling his body at each
little touch.
Charlie
groaned and tilted his head back as Marcus nibbled on his throat. It felt so
damn good. Charlie wasn't sure he'd ever felt so aroused in his entire life.
His skin burned, ached for the feel of Marcus's hands.
"Marcus,
I need—"
"I
know what you need, kisa."
