Marie is here with her Romance On The go story from Evernight Publishing. this is a great line of short stories, to read, well on the go. On the train, the plane, in the bath... so...
Hi Marie, grab a drink and a gluten free cookie, take a seat and get comfy. Then spill the beans...
Thank you for having me today! I am very happy to share a
little excerpt from Your Money or Your
Life, book 2 in my Tales of the Highwaymen series. This trilogy was not
meant to be one at all, but I loved two of the secondary characters so much
that I simply had to give them both their own story and happy ending. All Mine, book 3, will be out January
30, but for now enjoy this steamy excerpt from book 2.
Blurb:
When Jacob fell moving a portrait in the museum where he
worked, he was worried about damaging it. He never imagined he would fall into it and wake up in another
dimension. Though his day does start to improve when a sexy masked man rides to
his rescue…
Gerard thought his friends Adam and Eloise would be the
enchanted portrait’s only victims, but when he finds a gorgeous but bewildered
young man wandering in the woods, he realizes how wrong he was. Now he has to
enlist the help of a man he can’t stand to put a stop to the magic, even though
he’d much rather be spending that time in the arms of the sexy man now sharing
his home.
Teaser (R-rated):
Gerard couldn’t
understand the world his new friends had come from. So many things sounded
wonderful, but at times the cruelty of their world shocked him. “I’m sorry. You
were afraid of being shunned or persecuted?”
Jacob nodded. “I
never told anyone I was gay until I met a guy I wanted to date, usually. If I
knew he was gay and knew he liked me, I’d let my guard down. I wasn’t ashamed,
but I didn’t want to be judged. My town was very small, and no one who came out
stayed long because the reaction in town was so bad. I moved when I went to
college, and I was starting to feel confident about coming out.” He shrugged
and looked around the room. “And now I’m here.”
“You’ve no need
to fear anything here, I can assure you.” Gerard smiled. “And anyone who wanted
to harm you in any way would have to get through me first.”
“So, you’re
going to be my permanent champion? My dashing outlaw?”
Gerard guffawed.
“Outlaw? I’m not quite that.”
“Aren’t you a
highwayman? I asked about your mask, and Adam and Eloise said you were.”
“But not really
an outlaw.” Gerard considered his statement. “All right, I do steal from
people, but it’s not what you’re thinking.” He searched his brain for the name
that Adam had mentioned several times. “I’m like Robin Hood.”
Jacob smiled.
“Are you, now?”
Nodding, he
said, “Yes. There’s a large gap between the very rich and the very poor here.
There’s the king and the nobles, and then we have everyone else. There is very
little social climbing, as Adam
called it. I try to help where I can. We never take jewels or personal items,
just money. And only from those who will not miss it. A few actually cooperate
because they know the truth.”
“How many are in
your gang?”
“Actually,
without Adam, it’s just me for now. My men tend to retire when they get
married. They need more stability in their lives and their incomes.” Holding up
his hand, he gestured around. “The family that lived here abandoned it, claimed
it was haunted. Hardly anyone will even come near it, so I live here
comfortably enough. No one objects. I do odd jobs here and there, but most of
the families I’ve helped see that I am well taken care of.” He grinned. “Got
lots of other men’s wives cooking for me.”
“Sounds like an
almost charmed existence, in its way.” Jacob laughed. “So, you’re looking for
new recruits?”
“Are you
volunteering?”
After a long
pause, Jacob nodded. “Sure. What else am I going to do? It’ll at least be a way
to repay you, earn my keep.”
Gerard raised
one eyebrow. “All right, though I had several inventive ideas for how you could
earn your keep.”
Jacob looked
down for a moment, and then he slowly glanced back up. “Maybe you can enlighten
me.”
Gerard tried his
best to rein himself in and hoped Jacob would not notice his half-mast
erection. “One night when you’re stronger.”
Jacob smiled as
his eyes lowered again briefly. “But you have to keep me awake tonight,
remember?”
The look in
Jacob’s eyes had Gerard hard and ready in an instant. “I wouldn’t be a
gentleman if I took advantage of my guest in such a way.”
Jacob moved
closer, running his hand up Gerard’s thigh but stopping before actually
touching his groin. “True, I’m probably not up to … certain activities … but it
seems you’re ready for anything.”
“It’s been a
while.”
“For me, too.”
Jacob cupped him, but he wasn’t too aggressive. He ran the palm of his hand
over Gerard’s shaft, locking eyes with him.
“We just met
today. I don’t want you to regret this.” Gerard didn’t want to regret it
either, didn’t want to care for a man and not be able to keep him again. But
Jacob’s touch was like heaven.
Jacob examined
Gerard’s leather pants, and then he began to unlace them. “These pants have
been driving me mad ever since I first saw you. Even when I was confused as
hell, they were distracting me.” He freed Gerard’s cock and stroked it. “I’m
tired of hiding and being timid, denying my desires. I do not want a gentleman—I want the fantasy that rode up and saved me
today.”
Gerard laughed
low in his throat, arching up a bit as Jacob worked his cock. He wanted those
lips wrapped around him, wanted to fuck that tempting mouth. “I don’t think
I’ve ever been called a fantasy before.”
Jacob stroked
harder, still looking into Gerard’s eyes. “Trust me. Compared to every other
man I’ve been with, you’re exotic and exciting, a very wet dream come true.”
Gerard cupped
Jacob’s face and ran his thumb over his lips. “Suck me off. I’ve been thinking
about it ever since I pulled you up onto my horse.”
Jacob smiled and
licked the head of Gerard’s cock. “I felt your cock against my ass. I think
that’s what kept me from going crazy, grounded me to reality.”
Gerard started
to reply, but then he groaned as Jacob’s mouth engulfed him. Their banter had
him aching, and Jacob’s mouth was hot and sweet. Gerard couldn’t believe this
amazing man had called himself timid. He knew how to suck cock, bringing Gerard
right to the edge but then easing off in a sweetly tortuous way.
Jacob’s tongue
teased up and down the vein on the underside of Gerard’s cock. He ran his
fingers through Jacob’s chestnut brown hair, loving the way the man moaned as
he sucked. Jacob seemed to be enjoying himself very much. After Alexander’s
betrayal, Gerard had believed he would never be able to inspire this kind of
desire, but Jacob was proving him wrong.
