“Ow. Why am I on the floor?” Boxing mishap from Wulf by Kayelle Allen #MMRomance #SciFi #MFRWhooks

Wulf, Tales of the Chosen MM Sci-Fi Romance #MMRomance #MMReads #SciFi

In this scene from Wulf, while looking for Luc, Wulf opened the door to a built-in gym where Luc and his teenaged son, Senthys had been boxing. Senthys ducked just as the door slid open, and Luc punched Wulf.

What happened?

"Wulf?" Luc's voice intruded in the darkness. "Wulf, wake up."

He opened his eyes to find Luc and Senthys both hovering over him. "What happened?"

The teenager leaned in close, peering at him. "Nose is busted."

"Senthys!" Luc snapped. "Get back. This is all your fault!"

"Is not!" the youth shot back. "I didn't deck him. You did."

Wulf pressed his nose. "Ow. You hit me?"

"He sure did." Senthys jerked a thumb at Luc. "Right in the nose."

"I did not!" Luc insisted.

"Shut up, both of you. Somebody hit me. Why?" Wulf raised himself up on an elbow.

"Don't get up." Luc knocked it out from under him.

Wulf's head bounced on the semi-soft surface. "Ow!"

"Sorry! I'm sorry." Luc caressed Wulf's face. "Why'd you come in? The sign on the door says 'knock and wait.' You could've been hurt."

"He was hurt," Senth pointed out.

Luc glared at him.

"What sign?" Wulf rubbed his brow. "My head feels like shit. Where am I?"

Senthys grinned at him. Up close, his blue eyes had slashed catlike pupils and his fangs showed. Otherwise, he appeared human. "Your head hurts because Dad punched you in the nose."

"Senthys!" Luc gritted his teeth. "This is all your fault!"

"Hey, I didn't do anything." Senthys moved to Wulf's other side. "You okay, Wulf?"

"Senthys!" Luc stiffened. "That is Mr. Gabriel to you."

Wulf closed his eyes. "Please fight later. What happened? Why'd you hit me?"

"I'm sorry he beat you up, Wulf." Senthys sat back.

"His name is Mr. Gabriel"-- Luc repeated --"And I didn't beat him up."

"Luc, let him call me Wulf. Mister sounds like you're talking to my father."

"'Luc'?" Senthys chuckled. "You let someone call you 'Luc'?"

"Son, do not use my first name."

Senthys shrugged. "Wasn't me calling you 'Luc'. I said Wulf calls you 'Luc'. I know better than to call you 'Luc', sir. I know how much you hate it when people call you by the name 'Luc'. I sure wouldn't call you 'Luc'."

"Senthys!" Luc's teeth showed in a grimace. "Knock it off!"

The youth blinked, his face a picture of innocence. "Knock off what?"

"Both of you!" Wulf covered his eyes. "Shut up!"

The perils of parenting a professional thief 😏🔐 #SciFi #MMRomance #MFRWhooks

Wulf, Tales of the Chosen MM Sci-Fi Romance #MMRomance #MMReads #SciFi

After getting a call from the Thieves' Guild Academy that Senth had been suspended from school, Luc had to hop between planets and fly home. Now, dinner over, father and son finally talk. This scene takes place on the planet Kelthia in Luc's home.

There's no rule. I checked.

Luc and Senthys cleaned the kitchen after dinner while Wulf napped on the couch. For once, Senthys didn't argue over homework and he completed his academic lessons without difficulty. Luc practiced with him for the Level 14 Advanced Pickpocket exam he'd take next week.

After Luc put Senthys through his paces, he clapped his son on the shoulder. "Excellent work. No doubt you'll pass with a perfect score."

"Thank you, Sen'dai."

"According to the Headmaster, you have the highest aptitude in the Academy."

Senthys shut off the learning pad and picked it up. "He always talks to me like I'm a screw-up."

"That's because you insist on pranks and foolishness."

"Okay, yeah, I like pranks, but I'm no screw up."

"I agree with you there. So suppose you explain to me how you got suspended from the Thieves' Guild Academy for stealing ice cream from the lunch room."

"Oh, that." His son made an off-handed gesture. "One of my friends got put on punishment for not studying, even though he knows the material perfectly. They told him he couldn't buy ice cream for a week."

"How does that involve you?"

"Well, they didn't tell me I couldn't buy it for him."

Luc rubbed his mouth, leaning back. "The way Headmaster de Laney tells it, you stole the ice cream."

"Yeah, but only because he punished me for buying it for him. That wasn't fair. There's nothing in the handbook about not stealing ice cream. I checked."

How like his son to know precisely how far to push the rules. Toes right on the line but never going over. Luc waited to see if Senthys would say more.

"You sent me to the Academy to learn to be a professional thief, yet stealing from them is against the rules?" Senthys folded his arms. "Explain that if you can."

Luc opted for the answer that would end the conversation fastest. "The headmasters don't like anyone working the system and showing them up. You know what that means?"

"Yeah. Exactly. Don't get caught again."

Handsome, seductive, and athletic, Spartak is a trophy, and not shy about using his talents to survive and protect those he loves #MMRomance #MMReads #GayRomance #SciFi #Dystopian

Handsome, seductive, and athletic, Spartak is a trophy 🔥💪🏽 and not shy about using his talents to survive and protect those he loves #MMRomance #MMReads #GayRomance #SciFi #Dystopian

The ruling elite see Spartak as a trophy; the people see him as their best hope. By the year 2115, twelve families control all wealth in America, the middle class is a myth, democracy a con game, and the Supreme Court has just legalized a new entertainment option for the bored elite. Spartak Jones is kidnapped and forced to become the first legal slave since the Civil War, a trophy birthday present for the eldest son of the richest family. Handsome, seductive, and athletic, he is not shy about using his talents to survive and protect those he loves.

When war erupts within the ruling class, he proves to be a lethal warrior, fearless, resourceful, and photogenic. His swashbuckling exploits awaken a long-dormant liberal underground hungry to restore democracy.

In a world both familiar and horribly twisted, Spartak becomes a symbol of hope, a flesh and blood icon for an America that used to be and might be again, if he can survive.

Dark, twisted, dystopian, uplifting, and romantic—The Chronicles of Spartak delivers a 22nd century LGBT action hero who will make you cheer.

A riveting tale with a powerful political undercurrent.

In this scene, it's the morning after Luc and Izzorah's first night together as lovers, and they are at the breakfast table.

Feast - Excerpt from Surrender Love

"Luc, can I help you get ready for your day?"

"Oh, Izzorah." A slow smile crossed Luc's face. "I may need a long, hot, sudsy shower and then help getting dry afterward."

A tender ache had Izzorah squirming in his seat. He offered a not-so-innocent smile. "We had that kind of shower before breakfast."

"Yes, we did." The man trailed a fingertip farther up Izzorah's arm, causing him to flush with heat. "But between now and then, I intend to work up a sweat. I'm going to need another one."

Izzorah squirmed again, spreading his legs farther apart.

"And then I'll need help to dress. Tuxedo affair. I'll teach you how to fasten everything. It's complicated. We may have to take everything off and put it back on a few times so you can practice."

They rose together and leaned across the table. Izzorah gripped Luc's robe to pull him close, deepening their kiss. The table dug into his thighs.

The servant's return with milk and coffee broke them apart.

Izzorah's cheeks flamed.

Luc reseated himself, a self-satisfied smile on his gorgeous face.

Biting into his lower lip, Izzorah resisted the urge to cast breakfast aside and feast on Luc instead.

The server poured more coffee and left.

The size of Luc's dark hands as they wrapped the white mug brought back memories of the night before. Those hands had held him, turned him, lifted him. Loved him. Izzorah had given himself over in complete trust. He'd rested in Luc's strong arms. Those loving hands had bathed him, soaped his chest and shampooed his hair. Those same tender hands had dried his skin and hair, lifting strands with patient fingers as he blew it dry.

Izzorah swallowed, his throat tight.

Don't let a mystical party fool you. 🎭🔮 Winter Masquerade by Kevin Klehr will show you that falling in love on a Wednesday can be... dangerous #Magick #PNR #MMromance

Never fall in love on Wednesday

Ferris wakes on the Sea Queen, an enchanted cruise ship sailing on a chocolate sea. He has no idea how he got here, but he desperately wants to go home to his boyfriend.

The alchemist is the only person who can help Ferris, but he's been kidnapped. The ransom is high tea with scones and jam.

Meanwhile, the passengers are gearing up for the Winter Masquerade, a ball where love and magic reign.

With a murderous musician, an absent boyfriend, and a mystical party, Ferris soon learns that Wednesday is not the day to fall in love.

 

"…if readers lean in to the dream-like surrealism, they'll come to understand there's a deeper, psychological undercurrent to the story. This is more than a dreamy tea party; it is Ferris's soul laid bare." - Nikky Lee, author

“Why is this so hard? Find her. Tell me. Not difficult.” #Excerpt free book A Stolen Heart #SciFi #MMRomance #MFRWhooks

A Stolen Heart - Thieves' Guild Academy #MMRomance #SciFi

In this scene, when Luc is asked to find a missing child, he's sure he's missing something. After all, this is the master of misdirection he's talking to: Pietas, who wants him to find a kid. Sure he does. Meanwhile, the king has brought out his panther and is petting the animal. It's far from tame, but Luc is quite familiar with it.

"Find her."

"I want you to locate the girl." Pietas stroked the panther. "Once you tell me where she is, you'll be free. I don't need you to rescue her. Just inform me."

"I see." Luc did not. "Find this ten year-old girl. Tell you where she is. That's it."

"Yes. Then after your Deshai graduates, you can move to Tarth and start that building you've been planning."

This was far too easy. Obviously, Luc had missed something. Mentally, he walked back through the last bits of conversation. "To clarify, you don't want me to bring her to you. You want me to find her and tell you where she is."

"Asked and answered." Pietas studied him. "Why is this so hard? Find her. Tell me. Not difficult. But it is urgent."

"What's so important about her?"

Pietas kissed the panther on the nose. "It's not her so much as her parents. If we find her and then take her to them, we'll have more influence."

Now they were getting somewhere. "And who are they?"

"My sister told you about the FTA, didn't she?"

"FTA." Acronyms filled his world, but this one? New to him. Why did that earlier dread raise its ugly head again? He'd probably be better off not knowing, but Pietas seemed to be waiting for an answer. "Not a word. What is it?"

"She didn't?" Pietas frowned. "Oh, I thought... Never mind." He tugged the panther's ears. "The FTA is the Forgotten Technologies Arena."

"Forgotten by whom?"

"The ancients. It's secret tech. Forbidden."

"Forbidden." The headache he'd faced over the last hour spiked through his brain. He rubbed his temples. Why him? Why now? "Pietas..."

"Oh, will you stop worrying?" The man looked over at him. "No one's going to get sucked into a wormhole this time."

Luc forced himself to take a deep breath and let it all the way out. "That's what you said the last time."

“Why are you in my shower?” #Excerpt A Stolen Heart #SciFi #MMRomance #MFRWhooks

A Stolen Heart - Thieves' Guild Academy #MMRomance #SciFi

After a day full of drama, all Luc wants is a shower and some wine. Not necessarily in that order. (To portal is to instantly transport; think "beam me up.")

Why are you in my shower?

Inside his room, Luc shut the door, activated locks and set full privacy settings. It took three seconds to choose a bottle of Skovron Blush '37. Light, delicate and sweet. He opened the bottle to let the wine breathe while he set about stripping. Everything but the shoes went into the recycler, although he considered ditching those too. If his house-droids couldn't whisk them clean, he'd let them get rid of the shoes. Not his problem.

Luc chose a wineglass, poured, then carried it into the bathing area. After a sip, he set the glass on a marble countertop and slid open the smoky-gray glass door of the shower.

Pietas stepped into view, fully clothed. "I do not need a shower, thank you."

Luc snatched a towel and whipped it around himself. "My lord--" An explosive sigh burst from him. "What are you doing in my shower?"

"I wanted to see you."

"In the shower?"

With a flirty smile, Pietas leaned one shoulder against the wall. "You must admit, it is a good place to see you."

A headache shoved its way forward. "Not happening, Pietas."

"Spoilsport."

"Again, what are you doing here?"

"I portaled into your room and heard the door open, so I came in here, and--" He lifted his chin. "I am your king. I go where I please."

"I asked you not to portal here, my lord. My Deshai are home."

"Which is why--" With a groan, Pietas clenched his fists. "Only you would expect me to explain myself." He gestured toward Luc. "You explain. Where have you been? Are you showering because you're going out, or..." He trailed a look down Luc's length. "...going to bed?" He ended the question with a smile.

"Bed. Alone. I've dealt with drama for days." Luc picked up the wine and drank it in one gulp. "I need a refill." Without waiting for a response, he marched himself back to his room, retrieved the bottle and poured, then splashed wine into a second glass.

Drinking alcohol had no effect on Sempervians, but the act itself soothed. It offered tradition. Comfort. And when needed, a means of stalling while you decided how much truth you could afford to tell.

He offered the second glass.

His king lifted it, sniffed, sipped. "This is good. From one of your wineries?"

"Yes. One of the Skovron locations." Luc swirled his wine, waiting until Pietas took another sip. "It's your sister's favorite."

Mouth twisting, Pietas set down his glass with a click.
