Ashton has been in love with his best friend for
years, watching him grow from a pretty high school boy to the gorgeous erotic
dancer at the club where they both work. The problem is that Lance enjoys the
attention of a variety of men while Ashton wants him for his very own.
After a day spent denying his attraction for Lance,
standing by while their friend Trey openly flirts with him, Ashton decides it’s
time to make his move or risk losing his man forever. Once Lance knows how he
feels, he’ll realize they should be together. Or is it already too late?

Excerpt:
“Fuck!” Ashton shouted in a mixture of anger and
ecstasy as Lance swallowed again, then let Ashton’s softening cock slip from
between his perfect lips. Ashton leaned on his elbows, his chest heaving while
he caught his breath. With a last kiss on his thigh, Lance climbed off the bed,
sleek-limbed and graceful, and walked to the dresser with a sassy sway of his
hips.
Ashton stared after him and groaned, not sure if he
wanted to pull his friend’s ass back into his arms or punch him in the face. It
would be incredible to wake up with Lance every morning and make love to him.
But he sternly reminded himself that they were only friends and Lance needed to
stop climbing into his bed at night uninvited.
“You do remember you have a bed of your own?” he
asked, more sharply than he’d intended.
Lance gave him a smirk over his shoulder, making a
show of licking the last of Ashton’s spunk off his swollen lips. “You told me
to wake you at seven.”
“I didn’t mean… Oh hell.” Ashton fell back on the
pillows and threw an arm over his eyes. He swore in exasperation when the
mattress dipped and Lance’s familiar scent surrounded him. “Damn it—”
Soft fingers touched his mouth. “Don’t be mad, baby. I
didn’t mean anything.”
Ashton peered at him through the dark curls that had
flopped into his eyes. The guy looked positively forlorn, and Ashton sat up,
giving him a one-armed hug. “I’m not mad. But you don’t need to keep doing
that, either. You’re my friend!” He kissed Lance’s cheek, the velvet skin warm
with a blush. “You make a terrific roommate, and I like the company.”
“And I like you.” Lance walked his fingers up Ashton’s
leg.
Ashton laughed and shooed the hand away, but couldn’t
help staring at the enticing evidence of his friend’s arousal between his legs.
“Can I take care of that for you?”
“Not at all.” Lance stood up, waving off Ashton’s
offer. “I’ll deal with it in the shower. You have to save your attentions for
Mister Man.”
“Who are you talking about…? Wait!” Ashton rolled off
the bed and trotted after Lance as he crossed the apartment.
Lance giggled, slipping behind the bathroom door but
holding it cracked open an inch. He smiled at Ashton with his pouty, kissable
lips. “You know, the boss. Mister Kent.”
“I’m not saving myself for—”
Ashton blinked at the closed door. Why in the world
would Lance think he was interested in his boss? Sure, the man was handsome as
sin, but he was also an egomaniac and tyrant. Why only yesterday, he’d…
Hot blood scorched Ashton’s neck and face, his arm
tingling where Morgan Kent had gripped it, towering over him. The man had bent
to his ear, swamping Ashton’s senses with subtle cologne and a hint of sweat as
he’d whispered, “If you can’t type a simple letter without mistakes, I’ll find
a secretary who can.” He’d tightened his hand almost painfully on Ashton’s arm.
“Or maybe I should just bend you over this desk and smack your ass for each
mistake?”
Ashton’s dick jumped at the memory. He told it sternly
to behave. “We’re not falling for that bastard. We’ll stick with the sweet boys
at the club and call it good.”

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing
Ashton from Dianne Hartsock’s book STUCK ON REWIND. Hi Ashton, thank you for
agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself.
1) What
do you find attractive in a man?
Confidence is the
number one thing with me. It might even be bordering on arrogance. I love when
a man walks into a room and there’s that energy and charisma surrounding him
that’s irresistible. Lance is such a sweet man, but he knows men find him
attractive and can’t help but be confident in himself. But it’s when he’s
dancing that he really shines, beautiful and sure. He steals my breath.
2) The
first thing that went through your head when you saw Lance.
Astonishment! He
walked into my high school English class with this neon pink scarf around his
slim neck. I thought for sure he’d be ridiculed and bullied for it, but his
angel face and kindness to everyone made him popular instead. And yes, it was
love at first sight for me.
3) Do you
think you’ll insist the author visits you again?
Not anytime soon.
I’ve finally managed to get Lance all to myself. I’m not ready to share him
yet. Maybe in the future, after we’ve been together a long time and I’m not so
jealous of him. Of course he’ll keep dancing and I’ll keep drooling watching
him while I tend bar, but we don’t need prying eyes while we find out how to be
a couple.
4) You’re
going out for dinner. What’s your favorite food?
Spicy burritos
with lots of cold beer. Lance prefers Japanese Stir Fry, so we take turns where
we eat.
5) What
are you most afraid of?
Blowing things
with Lance. I’m trying not to be needy and jealous, but I’ve waited so long for
him… But this is something I’ll work on quietly until I have more confidence in
us and just hope he never finds out about.
Meet the author:
Dianne grew up in one of the older homes in the middle
of Los Angeles, a place of hardwood floors and secret closets and back
staircases. A house where ghosts lurk in the basement and the faces in the
paintings watch you walk up the front stairs. Rooms where you keep the closet
doors closed tight at night. It’s where her love of the mysterious and
wonderful came from.
Dianne now lives in the beautiful Willamette Valley of
Oregon with her incredibly patient husband, who puts up with the endless hours
she spends hunched over the keyboard letting her characters play. She says
Oregon’s raindrops are the perfect setting in which to write. There’s something
about being cooped up in the house with a fire crackling on the hearth and a
cup of hot coffee warming her hands, which kindles her imagination.
Currently, Dianne works as a floral designer in a
locally-owned gift shop. Which is the perfect job for her. When not writing,
she can express herself through the rich colors and textures of flowers and
foliage.
