Kyle was spinning. “What, sir?”

“Shit,” Nate hissed. “You always knew what I liked. And I like your long, fat prick. They can look all they want, but it’s mine. Tell me.”

“Yours, sir.” Kyle regained some semblance of power when he turned and kissed Nate. Quick. Rough. Teeth and tongue and biting force. “Now get down there and suck.”

Nate chuckled, their game made playful with a single sentence. He released the collar and found purchase along Kyle’s tense thighs. Head down, Nate’s mouth so fucking close to what Kyle wanted. The sight was incredible enough. The feel of Nate’s tongue dipping beneath the waistband—that was mind-blowing. The wet tip slid against Kyle’s throbbing head, darted, teased. Every movement was concealed by Nate’s face and the hunched power of his shoulders and burly upper arms.

Then slurp, lift, swallow. The shot was gone.

Tim and his partner were kissing with potent intent, oblivious now, caught up in each other as Vertigo Dreams took to the stage. Their music had been the soundtrack behind every step in the tentative, then torrid young relationship between Kyle and Nate. For a moment, they both stilled. Fingers interlaced. Gazes fixed. Sure, the band had aged. Glam was a little less shiny, a little more weary. Kyle didn’t care, and it didn’t seem like Nate did either. Simultaneously, they squeezed each other’s hands as the first song began.

Something more unfathomable than desire punched Kyle in the chest. Old years. Old hurts and desires and hopes.

Maybe Nate felt it too because he grabbed Kyle’s collar and pulled. It was either stumble or follow, so Kyle found his feet and yanked his jeans back into place. He hooked his discarded shirt and two more shots, slurping both for himself.

It was obvious Nate didn’t know where they were going. He simply led. Searching. Hunting for something. Kyle grinned, knowing exactly what his lover sought. He could only imagine how hard Nate was, how ready he was to satisfy this aching want, ready to indulge the best of what they’d been.

Club patrons clapped and shouted like mad. Kyle grasped Nate’s powerful wrist where he still held fast to the collar.

“This way.”

Again, that suspicious brow appeared. “Where?”

Kyle petted up and down the taut tendons of Nate’s bare forearm. Soft, golden hair added a vulnerable counterpoint to their lust, but it was no less powerful. “Trust me.”

With a curt nod, some of the tension eased from Nate’s features. “Make it good, college boy.”

Family Man

 

 

 

Heidi Cullinan and Marie Sexton

 

 

 

 

Sometimes family chooses you.

 

How does a man get to be forty without knowing whether he’s gay? That’s a question Vince Fierro is almost afraid to answer. If he is gay, it’ll be a problem for his big, fat Italian family. Still, after three failed marriages, he can’t help but wonder if he’s been playing for the wrong team.

There’s only one way to settle it, once and for all—head for Chicago’s Boystown bars, far from anyone who knows him. Naturally, he runs smack into someone from the neighborhood.

Between working two jobs, going to school, taking care of his grandmother, and dealing with his mother’s ongoing substance abuse, Trey Giles has little time for fun, let alone dating someone who swears he’s straight. Yet after one night of dancing cheek-to-cheek to the sultry strains of Coltrane, Trey finds himself wanting to help Vinnie figure things out—no promises, and no sex.

It seems like a simple plan, until their “no-sex” night turns into the best date of their lives and forges a connection that complicates everything.

 

Warning: This book deals with alcoholism, broken promises, and overbearing little sisters.
