<h3>
Re/Captured (Doms of the FBI 7)</h3>
Keith and Katrina are back! Reader favorites Keith Rossetti and Katrina Legato from Re/Paired (Doms of the FBI 2) return for another emotional, sexy, and dangerous adventure.
Blurb:
When a day helping out at Legal Aid puts Katrina in the crosshairs of a serial killer bent on sending his version of romantic gifts, life starts to spiral out of control. Not only is she trying to plan her wedding, but work and home life are increasingly hectic.
Keith has doubts about Kat and the reasons she keeps postponing the wedding, so he sets out to recapture her heart. Meanwhile, the serial killer’s obsession with Katrina only grows—threatening her entire family.
Sacrifices must be made, but can love help them survive the fallout?<br />

<h2>
PG Excerpt 1:</h2>
Understanding Keith’s message—he’d wanted to put her mind at ease with regard to the children so that she could focus on submitting to him—she lowered her gaze. “Can I have ten minutes to put my bag away and freshen up?”
“Yes. I set out what I want you to wear.” His voice washed through her senses, overpowering her with peace and excitement.
“Thank you.” Briefcase in hand, she turned to follow his instructions.
“Kitty Kat.”
The unspoken order halted her. She turned back to him. “Yes?”
“I want a kiss.”
Closing the distance she lifted her face. He caressed her cheek with one hand and wrapped the other around her waist to support her lower back, two points of contact only. His lips brushed hers, teasing at a third point. He massaged, a gentle pressure welcoming her home and to her role as his submissive.
Slave to his mastery, she sighed into it, dropping her briefcase and lifting her arms to twine them around his neck, and she pressed her chest to his. He deepened the kiss, plunging his tongue deep to taste and stab. The hand on her cheek slid into her hair, and the one on her back lowered to squeeze her ass. She forgot about everything. The stresses of her day fell away as she melted in the face of his demand.
He broke away to trail sucking kisses down her neck, stopping when the collar of her dress shirt got in his way. “Go,” he said. “Take your ten minutes, and then you’re mine.”

PG Excerpt 2:</h1>
“Put your dress on. Tell me how you look.”
Though he couldn’t see it, she parked her hand on her hip. “Keith, this is highly inappropriate, and it’s bad luck.” Her pulse raced. Though she thought of the wedding as a formality, she couldn’t help but get a little excited for the actual event.
His husky chuckle crackled through the phone. “I don’t believe in bad luck, and I can’t masturbate to mental images of you in that dress if I don’t know what it looks like.”
Her fake chagrin melted. She whispered her reply. “You want to masturbate to mental images of me in a wedding dress? That’s weird. You have actual pictures of me wearing lingerie.” He also had a picture of her pussy that he refused to delete. Good thing his phone was password and fingerprint protected.
“I like those pictures.” His voice dropped as the Dom in him asserted itself. “But, Kitty Kat, the wedding dress says unequivocally that you belong to me. Nothing is sexier than that.”
Her breath caught at his tone. “You’re such a romantic.”
“How about a picture?”
“Nope.” She smiled as she refused him. “I’m not bending on this. You can’t see my dress before the wedding.”

“Tease.”
“A tease would send you pictures of random dresses.”

Synopsis:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s been three years since Micah’s spouse, Cat, passed away
at the age of thirty-six. In the process of cleaning his house, Micah discovers
a series of letters Cat hid before he died, in which he made one request: that
Micah empty his life of Cat as a way of moving on. Micah has been able to work
through his sorrow, but he’s unable to fulfill Cat’s last wish. He can’t see a
way past his loneliness despite all the caring people around him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Enter two new friendships. Jude, Micah’s vivacious new
coworker, brings joy back into his life. But she has a big secret about her
family, and the truth will rock Micah’s understanding of who she is. Chris, the
new minister at Cat’s former church, intrigues Micah. Unlike Jude, Chris is an
open book, from his musings on theology to his work as a trans advocate and
activist. His gentle manner and deep faith become safe space for Micah to open
up about his loss.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Through them, Micah becomes involved with the town’s new
community center, where he offers a creative writing class. Using Cat’s
detailed letters, he fictionalizes their love story to share with his students.
In doing so, he at last begins to sort through his complicated grief. Micah
learns he doesn’t have to erase his life with Cat in order to make new
memories. He may even be falling for Chris, despite their vastly different
spiritual views. With a little help from family and friends, Micah will need to
open his heart to love completely again.<o:p></o:p></div>

a long-term partner. There are scenes of character death, funerals, and
reactions to loss. There are also numerous references to spiritual trauma,
lgbtqia antagonism, abusive family members, and previous suicide attempts.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">It was an
orange tabby, strikingly handsome and as cool as you please when he perched on
the stoop staring up at the open door with his unblinking green eyes. Micah had
only gone to retrieve the mail, but there was the beast. It opened its mouth
and offered a meow in greeting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">He
reached down to see if the cat had a collar and was rewarded with a <i>whap</i>
of the cat’s paw. Fortunately, the thing kept its claws retracted. Micah
straightened up and crossed his arms, glowering down at the cat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">He
retreated inside the house and went to the kitchen. Inside, he pulled out a
bowl and rooted through the fridge to see if there was anything cat-friendly.
The most he found there was last night’s leftover casserole, which didn’t seem
appealing for his guest. He finally located a can of tuna in the pantry and
dumped the whole thing into the bowl. As he turned around to cart it back to
the stoop, he nearly dropped it when the cat leaped up on the counter next to
him, purring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.0pt;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">“Jesus,
you scared me,” Micah muttered at him. “Thought I closed the door. Please, feel
free to make yourself at home.” He nudged the cat, who jumped off the counter
and wound himself around Micah’s leg.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.0pt;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Micah set
the bowl down, and the cat began eating. At last Micah could see if the thing
had a collar and tag. Unfortunately, he had neither. Micah scratched him a
little behind his ears. Poor thing looked like he hadn’t had a decent meal in a
while—he was on the scrawny side. Friendly, though, so he must have come from a
family at some point. Micah would need to ask around to see if anyone had lost
their pet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">When the
cat finished eating, he rubbed up against Micah’s shin, stretching and purring.
Micah chuckled softly. Mr. Whiskers had certainly made it clear he intended to
stay a while. No harm in that; he would be well cared-for until Micah located
his real owner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.0pt;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">He
started for the living room, and the cat followed, hopping into Micah’s lap the
moment he settled down in his chair to flip on the television. Micah put his
feet up, and the cat curled against his stomach, rumbling away. As Micah stroked
his fur, he thought about how nice it was to have a warm body in the house
again. He loved living next door to his sister-in-law, and her kids kept him
busy. But it wasn’t the same as having another soul around all the time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">“Wish I
knew your name,” Micah said to the cat. “I can’t just call you Cat.” He
swallowed the lump in his throat and fought the tears pricking his eyes. Every
little thing, it seemed, brought up his long-gone spouse these days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">The cat
placed his paw on Micah’s cheek where the tear tracked its way down. He
head-butted Micah, still purring. Sorrow turned to laughter as the cat’s
whiskers tickled Micah’s chin before the animal settled back down with his tail
curled around him. Keeping one hand on the cat’s back, Micah flipped channels
to find something—anything—which would take his mind off his grief even for a
little while. Before he knew it, both he and the cat were fast asleep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

M. Leibowitz is a queer
spouse, parent, feminist, and book-lover falling somewhere on the Geek-Nerd
Spectrum. They keep warm through the long, cold western New York winters by
writing about life, relationships, hope, and happy-for-now endings. In between
noveling and editing, they blog coffee-fueled, quirky commentary on faith,

<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">It wasn’t an enormous wedding, at least in
terms of the number of people attending—for which I was supremely grateful—but
both Kit and I would be well represented. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA">While neither of us was the ‘bride’ or ‘groom’,
we’d originally discussed my father walking Kit down the aisle—until my dad
realized that would leave me standing, alone, at the front of the room with everyone’s
eyes on me. Just the thought had made me break out in a cold sweat, so Kit and
I had decided to walk up together. Let the marriage commissioner and Mariel
stand there by themselves for a few minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“I’m ready.” And I was. I didn’t feel
nervous—well, not more than my usual baseline nervousness whenever I have to
perform in any way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I held his hand and we walked down the

creatures—besides the one I was marrying. And Boo, of course, who was pacing in
his cloth-bedecked kennel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-CA">This is the story of how Edward’s
ex-boyfriend, Bone, came to be. Back when the idea was to make My Zombie
Boyfriend as a web comic, my wife and I wanted Edward to have an associate who
worked in the morgue. Makes sense—necromancers need bodies. The web comic
didn’t make it much past Edward resurrecting Kit—my fault—but we had a
character design and even a few sketches for the proto-Bone (and another
character, who, with slight modifications as to gender and relationship to
Mariel, will be introduced in My Zombie Wedding). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Years passed. My Zombie Boyfriend <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">demanded</i> I write it, in novel form. The
original manuscript was just over 50,000 words, and then I started publishing
short stories and got distracted. By the time I was ready to look at it again,
the publisher’s minimum word count for novels had gone up to 60,000 words. I
needed to add...something. Lots of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Enter Bone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I didn’t anticipate that he’d be such a fan
favourite, but him getting such overwhelmingly positive feedback definitely
helped shape his role in My Zombie Wedding—and it’s a big one. Bone fans, eat
your hearts out. (Or you can eat one of Bone’s—he has two). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">My wife and I knew from the beginning that
Bone wasn’t human, or at least not entirely, but we never really fleshed out
(heh) what he actually <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">was</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I didn’t know. Bone wasn’t telling me.
Typical. So I left it vague in My Zombie Boyfriend, and waited. Thought about
tracking down my demonology book and seeing if anything jumped out at me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">After it had been published, my wife was
rereading My Zombie Boyfriend when she pointed out something interesting to me—how
Bone addresses Edward. I thought I’d had Bone call Edward ‘Ed’ consistently,
mostly just to be a dick, but she noticed several key instances where Bone
actually uses Edward’s full name. She thought I’d done it on purpose (which I
wish I could say I had, but I can’t. She’s always finding these happy accidents
in my writing). It made her think of the fey, and the importance of
names—especially true names. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Speaking of true names: Bone tells Edward
that his real name is Boniface but he hates being called that and prefers going
by Bone, but that’s just a cover. In reality, the opposite is true—Bone (or
rather, Bein, which is Bone in Icelandic) is his actual name, Boniface is just
what he uses for show when it comes to humans. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">So. I knew Bone was some sort of fey
creature, but not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what</i>. That’s a big
place to start. Before I got out my book on demonology or Faeries by Brian Froud (a book that scared me
shitless the first time I read it as a hapless nine year old, when one of my
mother’s ex-girlfriends gifted it to me, along with Gnomes and Giants. Probably
warped my brain forever) I started writing My Zombie Fiancé and that took me in
an entirely new direction—Icelandic magic.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-CA">Without giving too much away - you'll have to read My Zombie Wedding to find out <i>exactly</i> what Bone is - let's just say that guided me toward finally reaching an accord with Bone about what on Earth he is. We're both very happy, and we hope you will be, too. If you have a theory about what he might be before the book comes out, I'd love to hear it!</span><br />

<h2 style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Werewolves and
the gay experience<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">by Carl Redlum<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Werewolves
are my favorite monsters, but I never understood why before writing “When the
Big Moon Shines” for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Myths, Moons, and
Mayhem</i>. In the movies, they often represent the darker side of a man's
soul. An animal that still lives inside of us all. A carnality that must be
repressed or destroyed for the good of civilization.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
That,
to me, describes the gay experience. To be overwhelmed by the urge to seek out
what society told me was pure evil. Resisting those urges caused changes in
myself that I found horrifying. By giving in, I finally learned that the beast
inside of me was no beast at all. That the monsters I was told to fear were
simply men living their lives. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
That
wasn't the story I'd meant to tell when I sat down to write for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Myths, Moons, and Mayhem</i>. But the story
poured out of me, like it had been waiting for the right moment to
emerge. <o:p></o:p></div>

Excerpt from “When
The Big Moon Shines” by Carl Redlum in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Myths,
Moons, and Mayhem</i><o:p></o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Steady
chopping came from the other side of the house. The breeze streamed over the
house, carrying that rich scent. Henry backed away. He didn't want to know that
it was the smell of human flesh setting his brain on fire. He imagined rending
a man's flesh to get at such sweet meat—but that couldn't be. The smell had to
be a dear hung up and butchered. It had to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">He crept
around the house one hesitant step at a time, staying deep in the brush until
he glimpsed a figure through the hanging vines.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">A man, arms
knotted with muscles and a back carpeted with reddish hair, chopped wood
wearing nothing but cutoff jeans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Henry still
refused to believe that a man could have such a heady scent, until the wind
shifted, blowing over the man's shoulders and blasting Henry with a smell was
so full and rich Henry squatted down, groaning with the desire to feed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">The
chopping stopped. The man looked over his shoulder. His weathered face was hidden
behind a thick beard, graying on the chin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Henry
ducked behind a tree, scared to breathe. A minute passed, then the chopping
resumed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">A new scent
came on the wind, </span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">just as</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"> rich but lighter somehow. Moments later
a man shouted, "God damn you, Bruce, put some clothes on."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">"What
for?" Bruce's deeper voice scoffed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Peeking
around the tree, Henry saw a businessman striding into the yard, kicking
splinters of wood back into the pile. His scent was meaty and enticing, if not
as strong. Probably because he didn't glisten with sweat like the half-naked
hairy guy. The two discussed dinner plans—Alex, the business man, distinctly
favoring pizza and beer over grilling steaks. Henry leaned back against the
tree, half-listening as he breathed in more of their rich scents. It made his
hands ache from the hidden claws trying to emerge. He'd never turned during the
day, but the hunger had never been so strong. To keep those men safe, Henry had
to stay far away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">The men
stopped talking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">A twig
snapped. Close.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Henry
peeked around the tree and startled. Both men peered into the woods, looking
directly at him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Henry spun
around and tore blindly back through the woods, dashing through sticker bushes
and tangling vines until he crashed into his own backyard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">"Where
were you?" his mother shouted from the door. "What did you do?"</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span lang="EN-CA">On Sunday I visited Mariel. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I rang her doorbell, enjoying—as I always did—the sound of the clapper hitting the cast iron bell. It was much more satisfying than an electronic chime. There was no answer, which was unusual; Mariel was almost always home during the day. As a hypnotist, she usually works evenings, and most of the time she let me know when she was scheduled to work. I called her number. Again, no response. Just as I was starting to worry, she appeared on the path between her house and the next, waving at me. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“I thought I heard something!” She motioned for me to follow her into her backyard, then stepped around the side of the house again. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">She was kneeling in front of one of her plant beds when I entered the yard. She was wearing a broad-brimmed hat, a pair of canvas gardening gloves, and an apron over a brightly coloured, floral dress. “I had a feeling I would be seeing you today.”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">That was just uncanny—had a ghost given her a warning, too? </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Glancing up from her work in time to see my shocked expression, she laughed. “I am sorry, Edward. I was only teasing you. I did not know you would be visiting today. Oh! I still have your tarp; have you come to get it?” She inclined her head in the direction of the folded canvas. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Seeing it brought back memories of the night I’d first found Kit. I’d been looking for that tarp, so I could use it to drag his body from the park where he’d been killed to my house. I hadn’t really thought of it since then. “No, you can keep it. You’ll be needing it to cover your plants soon anyway, right?”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">She gestured at the plant bed, and the pile of pulled-up plants beside her. “I am getting everything ready for winter as we speak. Care to help?”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“You’re joking, right? I wouldn’t know which of these was a weed or not. I have the opposite of a green thumb. I have a...black thumb.” </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“That is true. Please, do not touch my plants.” Grinning at me, she continued her work. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I couldn’t tell why she selected some of them to uproot, while others got to remain; they all looked the same to me. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“To what do I owe the pleasure of your company, then?” she asked. The plant she held in her hand had small, round growths on its roots. I wondered if it was some sort of disease, but as she dug in the area around where she’d taken the plant from, she excavated several larger objects. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Those are potatoes!” </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Mariel sighed. “Yes, <i>pitit mwen</i>. Potatoes come from the ground. They do not simply appear in plastic bags at the supermarket.”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I blushed. “I-I know that! I’ve just never seen them growing before.” </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">She snorted, tossing a potato at me. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I actually caught it, and was very impressed with myself. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br />
</span></div>

Today is all about Pinterest! I love using Pinterest during my writing process, to give me visuals of scenes, characters, or images I'm creating, and so I can share them with readers once the book is finished. I have Pinterest boards for each of the main characters (see below) and I also have a general inspiration board for <a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/authortstrange/the-undead-canadian-series-my-zombie-fianc%C3%A9/" target="_blank">My Zombie Fiancé</a>.<br />
<br />
My Zombie Wedding also has a general board, which you can view a preview of here:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a data-pin-board-width="400" data-pin-do="embedBoard" data-pin-scale-height="240" data-pin-scale-width="80" href="https://www.pinterest.ca/authortstrange/the-undead-canadian-series-my-zombie-wedding/">My Zombie Wedding</a><br />
<br />
Some of the images will make more sense in the context of the book, but included are: Kit's <i>ai</i> tattoo, Kit and Edward's wedding outfits, and the flowers in Kit's wedding bouquet (flower symbolism, y'all).<br />
<br />
If you'd like a bit more of a visual tour of the Undead Canadian world, here are the boards for each character:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/authortstrange/the-undead-canadian-series-edward-grey/" target="_blank">Edward</a><br />
<a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/authortstrange/the-undead-canadian-series-kit-ward/" target="_blank">Kit</a><br />
<a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/authortstrange/the-undead-canadian-series-mariel/" target="_blank">Mariel</a> (Edward's mentor)<br />
<a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/authortstrange/the-undead-canadian-series-bone/" target="_blank">Bone</a> (Edward's ex boyfriend)<br />
<a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/authortstrange/the-undead-canadian-series-boo/" target="_blank">Boo</a> (Edward's undead cat)<br />
<a href="https://www.pinterest.ca/authortstrange/the-undead-canadian-series-winston/" target="_blank">Winston</a> (Kit's cat)<br />

<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-CA">Looking for a way to distract myself, I flipped
through my notebook, double checking that I still knew how to accurately draw a
few of the runes I hadn’t used yet. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">The ‘moon’ stave was
supposed to prevent hauntings. It was one of several staves that offered
protection from the supernatural, and I hadn’t used this particular one yet.
Partially because it was supposed to be drawn on a fox pelt with blood from my
ring finger, and I wasn’t especially keen to do either of those things, but I
wanted to be able to draw any of the staves from memory, in case I ever needed them.
</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I was still practicing when Kit came home. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Finally using one of my adult coloring
books?” he asked, setting his bag down and giving my forehead a kiss. “It’s
relaxing, isn’t it?”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I held up a finger, indicating I needed a
minute. I had to concentrate while I finished the rune; the notebook hadn’t
said anything about it, but leaving a rune unfinished felt dangerous to me.
Drawing the last few lines, I looked up at him. “Working on my staves, sorry.
Though it is kind of relaxing.” </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Kit made a face. “Kind of creepy, more
like.”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“How is it creepy?” I asked. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">He wrapped his arms around himself and made
a shivery noise. “You know, ghosts and stuff.”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I raised an eyebrow at him. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">He laughed, giving me a playful nudge with
his elbow. “Oh, shut up. No one likes a smartass. I’m making goulash for
dinner; does that sound okay?”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Better than being a dumbass, I guess. Goulash
sounds amazing.” His food was always amazing, and I felt especially blessed that
he made it for me, because he couldn’t eat more than a mouthful or two. “How
did I get so lucky?”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">Taking groceries out of his bag, Kit
grinned at me. “You ask me that all the time, and my answer’s always the same.
I guess we were just...meant to be.” </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I got up and squeezed his hand. “I’m glad
you feel that way.” I just wished he hadn’t had to die in order for us to be
together. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“What, don’t you?”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Of course I do. Don’t mind me; I’m just in
a funny mood.” </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">He put his—cool, as always—hand on my
forehead, frowning a little. “You do feel a little warm.” </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“I always feel warm to you.”</span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">He grinned. “All right, true. But I’ve
gotten pretty good at telling the difference between when you’re warm and when
you’re <i>warm</i>. Why don’t you go lie down for a few minutes? It’ll be a
while before dinner’s ready.” </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Yeah, I think I will. Thanks, Kit.” I gave his hand another squeeze,
then gave him a full, lingering hug, wanting to have more contact with him. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Not that I don’t appreciate the love,
but...are you sure you’re okay? Did something happen?” He stroked a thumb down
the back of my neck, soothingly, and I leaned in to him. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“I’m fine,” I reassured him, reluctantly
leaving his arms after giving him a final kiss on his jaw. “Just tired.” I
hated lying to him, but there was no sense in both of us being frightened of
something I couldn’t even explain. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">“Well, shoo. I’ll come get you when dinner’s
ready.” He gave me a gentle, playful swat on the behind before turning his
attention back to the meal preparation. He loved cooking—and baking, of course—and
it was a shame he couldn’t enjoy much of what he made himself. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">I must have been more exhausted than I’d
realized; I lay down on our bed, closed my eyes, and woke to Kit telling me the
food was ready. </span><span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Any city is bound to collect restless dead. Armed with the notebook of Icelandic magic his ex boyfriend, Bone, gave him, Edward Grey has been tasked with removing troubled spirits or finding ways for the living and the dead to coexist in harmony. Between planning his wedding with his undead Canadian fiancé, Kit Ward, and his continued studies as a medical student, Edward didn’t need another commitment, but he can’t turn away people who are frightened or in danger. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A particularly vicious ghost gives Edward an ominous warning—<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">they</i>’<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">re coming</i>—and a few days later Edward’s notebook is stolen from him. While he’s attempting to find it, he and his mentor, Mariel, are confronted by a very powerful necromancer and barely escape with their lives. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the run, Edward is pursued everywhere he goes, until the necromancers following him manage to capture Kit. <o:p></o:p></div>

The piece of music Edward can't remember the name of is Chopin's Nocturne No. 2 in E flat Major. I struggled a bit to come up with Edward's wedding music - I considered Victor's Piano Solo from The Corpse Bride (one of my favourite pieces of music) but my wife and I decided it was too sombre for a wedding - even Edward's wedding. We decided Chopin was the way to go, and Edward having a nocturne seemed perfect. I wanted Kit's wedding song to be modern, but still harmonious with Edward's music. My wife is a cellist and told me about several cello groups that play modern music. As soon as I saw "We Found Love" and looked at the lyrics, I knew that was the one! As for the other two pieces on this playlist - the Can-Can and In the Hall of the Mountain King...remember the last line of the blurb, about the underworld? I can't give away too much, but let's just say...they're related. <br />

"You," the college student, have been in love with Maxine as long as
you can remember, but Maxine is straight, isn't she? Despite feeling you have little
chance, you sit through Maxine’s latest theatre performance about a dragon to
show your never ending support as her best friend. Besides, Maxine’s promise of
a surprise for you following the show has piqued your interest. But what
happens at the show? Do you bump into an old flame, meet a busty beauty,
connect with a curly haired stranger, lose your sanity, or curl up next to the
love of your life? In the dark, under the stage, inside a restroom or a bar,
the allure and desire for a happy ending is within reach... Choose wisely.<br />

refers to as "Sheep Shit Nowhere" Europe. In an attempt to add some
spice to her small town life, Ms Shade began writing explicit erotica as a form
of entertainment. Exploring the boundaries of acceptable sexual literature, she
often seeks to create stories that not only entertain others, but also expose
and push against the negative stigma surrounding sex in modern day society. She
believes that sex, in literature, art, personal thought, and physical nature,
should be celebrated and expressed freely and as easily as any God given
freedom. Her favorite themes in writing include revenge, self discovery,
alternative materials for love play/bdsm, as well as anything that produces a
good tingle, sizzle, or laugh. When not writing, Ms Shade enjoys red wine,
travel, dancing, classic cartoons, baking, and creating fine art.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Kayla Quinn is living out a dream after falling in love with her high school crush. The two reconnected at a club that caters to matching couples with similar fetishes—in their case, Dominance and submission. Over the past few months Julian has introduced her to a world she'd only fantasized about. Now he wants to kick things up a notch, but is she ready for what he requests next?</span>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Julian Anders never wanted a commitment. He didn't do relationships. That was until he ran into Kayla at the club. It wasn't long before he wanted her all for himself. He never expected to fall so hard for the stunning beauty. Their exploration in the bedroom has been of the slap-and-tickle variety, but they're both ready for something more.</span></div>

Things are about to get hotter. Can Kayla do what Julian wants? What happens when she decides she'd like more than one Dom in the bedroom?</span></div>

<strong>Length</strong>: 233 pages/57,000 words<br />

<strong>Genres</strong>: short stories, contemporary romance, paranormal romance, erotic romance<br />
<h2>
Blurb</h2>
<em><a href="https://dalecameronlowry.com/books/falling-hard/">Falling Hard</a> </em>features nine of Dale Cameron Lowry’s best short romance stories, available for the first time in one book. Meet a sign language interpreter who finds unexpected love at middle-age, college students in their first relationships, a vampire who would rather be a vegan, and a proudly gay ex-Mormon atheist who sells Bibles for a living. From sweet to erotic, this collection exhibits the quirkiness, fun, and diversity Dale's writing is known for.<br />
<br />
Here are just a few of the stories in <em><a href="https://dalecameronlowry.com/books/falling-hard/">Falling Hard</a></em>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><strong>Loggerhead</strong> — Soon after they fall in love, Jake makes Eric a promise inspired by an old track uniform. But demanding work schedules at Jake’s four-star restaurant and Eric’s newspaper keep them from following through. Six years later, they take the honeymoon they never had, heading to the Florida coast in search of sea turtles—and rekindling their passion for each other in the process.</li>
<li><strong>Reading the Signs </strong>— The only thing twenty-three-year-old Theo De Jong expects when he enrolls in a summer school for linguists in New Mexico is to get more ideas for his master’s thesis in Dutch Sign Language. But then he meets the American sign language expert Alfonso Grossman, and sparks fly.</li>
<li><strong>Ghost of a Chance </strong>— When shy Jeremy Anderson meets mysterious and dapper Frank at his spooky old university library, their connection is instant. Their romance waxes with the full moon—but just as quickly, Frank’s interest seems to wane. He insists that he loves spending time with Jeremy, but then why does he keep Jeremy at arm’s length?</li>
<li><strong>Rough Love</strong> — Blake thinks new boyfriend Michael doesn't like French kissing. Michael thinks Blake doesn't like rough sex. Neither are virgins, except in the art of conversation. Can they set things straight before the honeymoon's over?</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Excerpt</h2>
From<i> Ghost of a Chance</i>:<br />
<blockquote>
The full moon was so bright we barely needed the battery-powered lantern we’d brought to light the sukkah. Frank appeared just before dinner, as I’d told him to, wearing a green polo and a light v-neck sweater with argyle diamonds on the front. He looked much sharper than the rest of us in our sweatshirts and hoodies. I swooned internally.<br />
<br />
My friend Karen gave me a significant look from her corner of the sukkah, and then a quick smile. <em>He’s hot</em>, she mouthed when Frank looked away to talk to one of the others.<br />
<br />
<em>I know,</em> I mouthed back.<br />
<br />
Her silent chuckle made her thick black curls shake.<br />
<br />
There were seven of us, including Frank, and we sat in a cozy circle around a card table topped with a barley-pumpkin casserole courtesy of the vegetarians, chicken soup, potato chips (courtesy of me, who had such a lack of cooking skills I was lucky to ever get invited to potlucks), and apple-date crisp for dessert. Frank sat close to me, our knees touching, and sometimes when he spoke he would pat my leg for emphasis. The little bit of contact made me hungry for more, and I kept scooting closer. By the end of the meal we were in almost full contact from knee to shoulder. I was giddy with it.<br />
<br />
He was charming the socks off my friends. They were deep in some conversation involving comparisons between ancient Greek and Hebrew that I wasn’t quite following because I was too busy gazing besottedly at the side of Frank’s face. The moon gave his skin a lovely glow. He almost seemed to form a silvery halo around him. I felt pulled to him, but given that he was in the middle of a conversation, the most I could do was lean my cheek against his shoulder. So I did.<br />
<br />
I felt him sigh under my weight, and then wrap his arm around my waist. I was content.<br />

<h2>
Author Bio & Links</h2>
Dale Cameron Lowry lives in the Upper Midwest with a partner and three cats, one of whom enjoys eating dish towels, quilts, and wool socks. It’s up to you to guess whether the fabric eater is one of the cats or the partner. When not busy mending items destroyed by the aforementioned fabric eater, Dale is a writer and editor who enjoys wasting time on Tumblr, listening to podcasts, studying anatomy, getting annoyed at Duolingo, and reading fairy tales. Previous careers include sign language linguist, grocery store clerk, journalist, gardener, and camp counselor.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Dale began writing for fun at the age of eight and has been making up stories ever since, from overly workshopped literary fiction to off-the-cuff fanfic. Queer Mormons have a way of popping up in Dale's work, whether it's romance or erotica, sci fi or fairy tales, slice-of-life contemporary fiction or spine-tingling horror. So do immigrants and emigrants, people with disabilities, multilingual folks, and others who live their lives navigating multiple cultures.</span><br />

Night Out is re-releasing just in time for Valentine's Day, with two brand-new sex scenes!<br />
<br />
Liam comes home from work to find only one conversation heart left in the candy bowl. It says, Bite Me. His lover, Jason, produces the other candies and tells him the heart left in the bowl is a clue. The only other clue is that they’re going out for dinner. Normally Jason is terrible at keeping secrets, and he almost always cooks for them. Liam has no idea what Jason has planned.<br />

Excerpt:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Working my way from the base of his throat, I kissed a line down his chest, nuzzling the sparse patch of hair between his pecs. He was panting softly as I continued lower, my hands sliding down his arms so I could still hold him. When my tongue dipped below the waistband of his yoga pants, he spread his legs so quickly that he almost kneed me in the head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Cooking got you all hot and bothered again?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Ha, ha. I haven't been cooking. I've been rearranging the pantry.” He looked down at me, defiantly. He and I have a long-standing rule: if he ever arranges the spices alphabetically, I'm outta here. “No, I didn't.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Good.” I slid my hands under his ass so I could tug the elastic-waisted pants down. He wasn't wearing underwear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Bare ass on the counter, Liam!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“I'll clean it. Unless you want me to stop?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I could almost smell his mind working on that one—dirty kitchen counter and sex, or clean counter and none?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He nodded, briskly, squirming a little to help me undress him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“I thought so,” I told him, smugly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Shut up,” he said, very softly and without any heat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Make me,” I said, pulling his pants down around his ankles and gagging myself very effectively.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After a few minutes, Jason laughed, pushing me away. “The counter isn’t exactly the most comfortable place to sit,” he reprimanded, gently. “If we’re doing this—and we are—let’s go somewhere more comfortable.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I licked my lips cheekily, grinning up at him, my hand slowly stroking over his spit-slick dick. I was impressed he could still talk, and I’d definitely have to do something about that. “All right. If you want to go all the way upstairs to the bedroom...” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He whined, a high-pitched, wordless sound of frustration. He visibly struggled with himself, then said, “Couch. But put down a blanket first!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">While he might allow brief nudity on a wipeable surface like the counter, there was no way either of our bare butts were ever going to touch his white leather couch. He had brought it into the relationship, and if we ever broke up, God help him, it was going back out with him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After covering the couch in a soft blanket, I returned to the kitchen and picked him up again, grunting a little with effort this time—carrying him was a lot harder than just setting him on the counter. I laid him out on the couch, taking a moment to just drink in the sight of him, naked and aroused and wanting me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“You’re beautiful,” I murmured, smiling softly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He blushed, then threw a pillow at me. I could see his hips rolling ever so slightly, and I didn’t think he’d let me stare for long without touching him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Can you sit up? Gorgeous as you are like this, it’d make things easier.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He nodded, cheeks still pink, before swinging his legs around and spreading them wide to give me easy access. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I knelt on the flokati rug in front of him, one hand on each of his thighs, just breathing on him for a moment, taking in the scent of his arousal, letting him feel my warm breath on his skin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He moaned, and I imagined his eyes fluttering shut, but he only gave me a moment before grabbing a handful of my hair—more roughly than usual; what <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">had</i> he been thinking about before I got home?—and pulling me down and forward. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I resisted, just a little, teasing him, drawing out his pleasure because I could and because he wouldn’t tell me what he was planning. I licked his head, relishing the sound he made. He released my hair, petting the top of my head instead of pulling, giving me room to do what I wanted with him. I hoped he’d regret that freedom, that he’d grab me again and force himself deep—but not yet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I opened my mouth for him, slowly drawing him past my lips and my carefully-covered teeth. I closed my eyes, concentrating only on the feeling, the taste of him, my tongue dancing over his naked cock, exploring. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He moaned again, and the sound had a sharp, needy edge. I felt his hand flex in my hair, but he didn’t pull. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I shifted back a little, giving myself more room to move. Still bracing myself with a hand on each of his legs, I drew away from him until only his head was in my mouth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">His hand tightened again. I was getting to him—triumph. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Taking him as far as I could comfortably again, I slowly built up to a rhythm, feeling him buck and thrust beneath me when I drew back, then sigh and relax when he filled me. I could feel, taste how close he was, but I wanted to make him wait, to make him beg for it, if only with his hand in my hair. He wasn’t there, not yet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I hummed softly, and he cried out above me. I felt his fingers tense, but they loosened again. I hummed again, taking him just a little deeper than I could manage comfortably for long, then pulled back, leaving him wanting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He was breathing faster, harder now, getting close to the edge. Right where I wanted him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After a few more cycles—in...out...in—I slid off entirely, only my hand stroking him now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He keened, a sound of betrayal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I looked up at him. Our eyes met, and just for an instant I saw him hesitate before his hand tightened in my hair again, and didn’t release this time. He pulled me down, hard, so my nose was buried in his thick pubic hair. He gave me a little shake, showing he meant it this time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I pulled back just enough to reach him, and I took him as deep as I could, using speed now more than moving my head all the way forward and back, my tongue lashing him closer to the edge. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He cried out, his whole body tensing, and came down my throat. I swallowed, eagerly, milking every drop out of him with my tongue and lips until he was still again, hand slowly stroking my tangled hair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Wow,” he gasped, when he could speak again. “That was—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Worth the delay?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He made a soft grunt that wasn’t quite agreement, but he couldn’t honestly say no.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I lazily stroked his fine, brown hair. He had been dyeing it blond when we first met, insisting that his natural color wasn't fit to be seen, but I had asked to see it grown out just once, and when I hadn't run for the hills, he had let it be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Where are we going tonight?” I asked, hoping a little sex had loosened his tongue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">He stuck said tongue out at me, twisting in my arms a little so I could see it. “Not telling.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Oh, very mature.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“And using sex to get me to talk is?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Valentine’s Day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’d thought about buying Kit a box of chocolates. A teddy
bear holding a heart. A dozen roses. A diamond. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did none of those things.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reminders of What Had Happened Between Us were suddenly
everywhere, in the hearts and cupids decorating every surface. I felt as
though, wherever I went, people knew Kit and I had slept together and were
silently congratulating or judging me. Kit introduced me to a few of his
classmates-cum-friends, and to my surprise, I liked them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hoped they liked
me, too, and I waited for that infernal day to end so Kit and I could get back
to the comfortable awkwardness we had been living in since our night together. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My concentration in class suddenly tripled. I hadn’t
realized how much I had been coasting since I had found Kit, or how much I had
missed my professors’<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span>praise. I felt like I was coming out of
hibernation and seeing spring happening all around me, and it was corny as
hell. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I didn’t care. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When we got home, Bone was standing on the sidewalk in front
of my house, smoking and leering at pedestrians and drivers as they passed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hurried him inside before he raised too many questions
from my neighbours. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Bone, what a pleasant surprise. Would you care for a
drink?”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Brandy, if you’ve got it. In coffee.” His voice was harsh
with cold and smoke. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wrinkled my nose. The fact that he was a smoker might have
played a part in our separation. Health issues aside, I can’t stand the smell.
“Just the coffee.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He shrugged, as if to say, it didn’t matter to him one way
or the other. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kit was staring at Bone, warily. He’d only met Bone once
before, and under rather trying circumstances. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ah, Kit, you remember Bone. Bone, Kit.”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";">
</span>That just sounded peculiar. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was happy to have the distraction of making coffee, so I
could turn my back on them for a moment and try to figure out why Bone was
here.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yeah, sure. That hospital guy, right?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That’s partially why I’m here. So I’ll be more than “that
hospital guy”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span>to you.”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span>Bone produced a rose and
held it out to Kit, smirking. “I asked Edward if I could borrow you, and he
told me to ask you. So here I am. Asking.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“<i>Borrow</i>?”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span>Kit was so outraged, he
could hardly get the word out. He shot Bone a nasty look, then turned it on me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I held up my hands to show my innocence, and Kit and I had a
brief, silent conversation. <i>I told him no, of course!<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>You should have </i>told<i> me! </i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>I didn’t think it would come up, or that you’d want to
know…</i><i><span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wasn’t at all surprised that Bone had such
a…fascination…with Kit. Bone is heavily into death, and about the only sexual
partner more death-related than a necromancer is a zombie. Still. That was no
excuse for him to upset Kit, especially on Valentine’s Day. When we might, just
possibly, have a thing. Whatever that thing might be. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Bone, we’re kind of…ah…this is sort of a bad time.”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";">
</span>I passed him a mug of steaming coffee.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He drank some. This is one of the reasons I’m convinced he’s
not entirely human—no human could drink coffee that hot and still look as
though butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. “I can come back.”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Not really the point. I mean, it’d be great to have you
over sometime. We could watch a movie or play video games or something.”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And Kit could be conveniently absent. Though I would
probably tell him to leave earlier and stay out later than when Bone was
expected to be around. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Here, why don’t I put that in a travel mug for you?”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";">
</span>I snatched the coffee out of Bone’s hands, pouring it into a thermos for
him. “You can keep that. I’ll call you. This is a bad time; did I say that
already?”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span>I drove him toward the door, opened it, and
ejected him. Closing the door behind him, I leaned against it, letting myself
slide down until I was sitting on the floor. I felt astonishingly rude, but he
was gone, and Bone isn’t the type to take offence about social niceties, or the
lack thereof. I would call him later, if he didn’t call me first. I was sure he
knew Kit and I were now sleeping together and would feel the need to bother me
about it. Which seemed like fair payment for throwing him out like that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Kit?”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span>I asked, from the floor. He
was wearing a pair of shoes I’d never seen before, which didn’t surprise me.
They were grey leather and looked very good on him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Mmm?” He leaned on the counter and peered down at me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I like your shoes.”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Thank you, Edward!”<span style="font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Bold Italic";"> </span>He sounded genuinely
touched. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you want to go out for dinner?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Tonight?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yeah.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Valentine’s Day dinner? Like, a date?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I shrugged, trying to copy Bone’s laissez-faire gesture and
probably failing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yeah, all right. If you think we’ll be able to find a place
that isn’t packed.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I don’t care if we go to McDonald’s.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’ll get my coat.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We didn’t end up at McDonald’s, thankfully, but at a small,
quiet, out-of-the-way restaurant that had one table left. It was dim and there
were candles and fresh flowers on every table. It was very romantic and exactly
what I wanted, even if it was also a little embarrassing and tacky. We didn’t
confess true love, or even discuss whether our sex had been a one-time thing. I
ate, and we talked, and carefully avoided bringing up Bone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The day finally ended, and our lives went back to normal.
Well, as normal as things had ever been between us. <o:p></o:p></div>
