This week I'm handing #MidWeekTease over to Bella Settarra and her men
‘Red-Light Wrangler’
by Bella Settarra
‘The Men of Moone Mountain’ Book 2
Can a bad reputation hide a good heart?
After
realizing everyone he has been with only wanted him for his money, Rich
Buchanan, the billionaire’s son, gives up the dream of a serious relationship
and gets his kicks sleeping around. He prefers men, but he only brings home
women, since his father would be horrified to find out Rich was gay. But
secrets are hard to keep among the rich, and his antics soon earn him the
nickname “The Red-Light Wrangler” when people discover that money exchanges
hands whenever he sleeps with a guy.
When
Nate Walker starts work as Assistant Foreman at the Buchanan Ranch, his good
looks and gorgeous body immediately pique Rich’s interest. And despite the
gossip, Nate can’t help falling for him, either. But when Rich’s cousin Joey
decides to blackmail Rich to pay off his debts, he soon realizes he could get
much more out of the situation. Outing his gay cousin and causing a rift
between Rich and his father could be just the thing to secure his own position
as Frank Buchanan’s sole heir.
Rich
has no one to turn to but his lover. But Nate has secrets of his own, and his
reasons for being at the ranch are not entirely honorable...
Story Excerpt
“Sorry to hear about your dad, Rich.” Kent
Freeman, the Deputy Sheriff, stood there with a grim expression on his face.
“Mind if I come in?”
Rich stood back, allowing the tall, handsome
guy into his house. He had expected him to go straight into the office, but
Kent turned into the sitting room where his eyes went directly to the small
table. Shit!
Rich felt his stomach lurch as Kent stared
down at the note. “This arrive today?”
“Yeah. I just found it in the mailbox.” Rich
frowned. He had expected Kent to be surprised by the note, but he seemed to
take it in his stride.
“Mind if I get it fingerprinted?” Kent asked,
not even touching the paper.
Rich shrugged. “Be my guest. You know who
it’s from?”
Kent sighed as he put on a glove before
placing the note in a plastic bag he pulled from his back pocket. “Do you?”
“I’ve got my suspicions,” Rich replied.
“Let me guess. Your cousin Joey or Cole
Jackson?”
Rich gawped at him. “How in hell do you know
that?”
“You should’ve come to us right at the
beginning,” Kent admonished. “Could’ve saved everyone a lot of time and
trouble.”
“You took Cole Jackson in about the
poisoning, said you couldn’t pin anything on him,” Rich reminded him. “Anything
after that would just sound like sour grapes.”
“We didn’t know about your cousin trying to
blackmail you. Or Dan Robertson’s involvement.” Kent looked at him, shaking his
head.
Rich sighed. “Kent, you know how it is. I’m
gay, man. Dad’ll go mad if he finds out. I’ll lose everything.” He slumped into
the nearest armchair, and Kent followed suit in the one opposite.
“Being gay ain’t a crime, Rich, but blackmail
is. And so is poisoning horses.”
“I know, but Dad won’t see it that way. He’ll
disown me, I know he will. Joey knows it, too.”
“That’s what he’s banking on,” Kent agreed.
“But you’ve lost half your livestock because of this. And if you can’t prove
you didn’t do it yourself you won’t even get the insurance pay out.”
Rich took a swig of his whiskey. “So, will
this prove I didn’t do it?” He gestured to the note which the deputy had put in
his pocket.
Kent Freeman shook
his head. “Nope. I’m afraid it just gives you a motive.”
Adult Excerpt
Suddenly Rich grabbed hold of Wyatt’s
muscular arms and pulled him down onto the bed. He got up and stood over him,
yanking the blond guy’s long, hairy legs over his shoulders. He heard a loud
gasp as he hauled him down the bed to get a better position.
Wyatt grabbed a condom from the nightstand
and passed it up to Rich. He snatched it out of his hand and grinned when he
opened it. Ribbed. He rolled the rubber onto his pulsating dick and yanked the
guy’s hairy ass open. He heard a yelp, but paid him no heed. He watched Wyatt
screw his eyes shut and barked at him. “Look at me!”
Wyatt’s eyes shot open and he stared up at
him. Rich had a sense of satisfaction at his control. He lined his cock up to
the gaping asshole and stared into Wyatt’s eyes as he thrust past the tight
rim.
“Aah!” Wyatt’s panicked eyes seemed to glaze
over and his jaw tensed.
Rich massaged the guy’s ass with one hand,
while stroking his cock with the other until Wyatt’s face relaxed. Then he
pumped hard into him, eliciting another loud yell. The cowboy’s shouts soon
became excited as the pain must have morphed to pleasure and he began grunting
with each thrust. Rich grinned as he pounded hard into the guy’s ass. He needed
this. He closed his eyes and Nate Walker’s face flashed into his mind. He felt
himself grinning as he thrust harder and harder, visualizing Nate lying naked
before him, Nate groaning in ecstasy.
When Rich opened his eyes they were watery
and glazed. All he could see was a mass of blond hair on the bed and, with his
mind still on Nate Walker, he moaned loudly. He felt the body beneath him
thrusting back toward him and heard fevered yelps and groans. The fire in his
belly was roaring now and he felt like his whole body was a raging furnace. He
hammered hard into the ass under him, yanking on the dick in his hand. With a
loud grunt the body he was fucking convulsed and he felt cum like boiling lava
trailing down his hand. His own orgasm wracked him and he pounded hard into the
guy’s ass, over and over. Lights flashed in front of his eyes and he heard
himself roar as relief swept through him. He just kept thrusting until he was
finally satisfied. His breathing was rampant as he slunk onto the bed next to
his partner, and he felt the cool air wash over his sweating body.
Both men lay in silence, heaving at the air,
eyes closed for several minutes. Rich’s eyes opened slowly and he stared at the
face next to his. For a split second he had actually expected to see Nate
Walker lying there, but realized in horror that it wasn’t. While Wyatt’s eyes
were still closed, Rich shot to his feet and grabbed his clothes before heading
off to find the bathroom down the hall. He disposed of the condom and splashed
cold water over his face and torso. His breathing was still rapid and he took a
glass of water to try to recover himself. Pulling his clothes back onto his
still-sweaty body felt horrid, and he left his shirt unbuttoned, hoping that
the cold night air would cool him off a bit.
His head automatically faced the bedroom when
he retreated from the bathroom, but he thought better of it. Like a thief in
the night he made for the front door and slipped out. The cold night air bit
him hard, and he shivered as he climbed into his car. Opening the windows wide
he relished the freezing cold of the wind as it swept through his hair and over
his flushed body. He needed the cold. He needed the space.
He needed Nate
Walker.
About
Bella Settarra
In Bella’s
world all the heroes are gorgeous hunks and the heroines are always beautiful.
Having said that, she firmly believes that ‘handsome is as handsome does’ and
that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. (She is also a big fan of clichés
as well as alliteration!)
She has
been hanging out with her ‘imaginary friends’ for a couple of years now and
finds the profession exhilarating and intriguing. Her stories are all Erotic Romances, although
they vary considerably in subject-matter.
She loves
writing Cowboy Romances and was thrilled when the first book in her The Men of Moone Mountain series,
(Etopia Press), entitled Ménage on Moone
Mountain, received a nomination for the Ménage Romances Fan’s Award 2015 and became an ARe Bestseller, and the third book in this series, Ménage on Ryder Ranch was also nominated
for the Erotic Ménages Romances 2016 . The fourth book in this series, Ménage at the Mode Boutique is now
also available in digital format. She is currently writing another Cowboy
series, Midnight in Montana (Siren
Publishing), the first of which, Dallas
at Midnight, is already available, with the second, Meet Me at Midnight due for release in June 2016.
Her Collar and Cuffs series (Etopia Press)
also received an ARe Bestseller Award
for Waiting on Summer, which has also
been nominated for the BDSM Writers Con
Golden Flogger Award 2016. This
series was set in a BDSM club in Miami, and was a joy to write.
Her
writing career began, however, in the fantasy/myth genre, with her first series
Sirens and Sailors (Siren
Publishing). Although this was a series of six novels, it actually started out
as a short story! This was a delight to write and was proof positive that her
High School Classical Studies lessons weren’t wasted.
She has
also had a couple of short stories published in Men for Hire and Men for Hire
2 (Luminosity Publishing) and even
had some rather raunchy poems included in Coming
Together in Verse.
Not everyone is perfect – but it’s the
character flaws which make them interesting, she believes. As in life, things
don’t always run smoothly, but it’s the twists and turns which provide the
drive to keep going, even when it just feels like an uphill struggle. Bella is
currently fighting her own battle against breast cancer – a battle which she is
determined to win – and believes that all women have the right to feel sexy
even when they are battle-scarred.
She hopes you enjoy your
foray into her world and would love to connect with you at: http://bellasettarrabooks.blogspot.co.uk
