BLURB
Years ago, before
tragedy struck, Alex made a child’s promise to always protect and care for his
little sister, Evie. Then piece by piece, all the good in his life was taken
away until Alex was left alone as guardian to his much younger sister.
Suffering and loss scarred Alex, causing him to withdraw from the world.
Struggling with anxiety and trust issues, Alex attempts to help Evie heal from
their shared traumatic past, but each day is harder than the last. To make
matters worse, Alex’s best friend, Ben, is pushing him to get out of his rut,
confronting him with the fact that what Alex thinks is contentment is just
stagnation and fear. The last thing he needs is for an old acquaintance to
reappear in his life, making him feel things he hadn’t dealt with in years.
The executive of
the marketing department at graphic design firm Vivid, Kelley has his life
together. While not perfect, he’s happy with his career and his three best friends.
A chance encounter with Alex, the guy he was once attracted to, is icing on the
cake. Fighting through Alex’s defenses to find the breathtaking man underneath
will be hard, but Kelley is up to the challenge. Kelley believes that the
things most worth fighting for never come easy.
To accept all that
Kelley is offering means Alex must drop his barriers. Kelley will need to keep
trying and prove that Alex can trust him, even when grief and anxiety try to
pull him back.
EXCERPT
Pushing him back on the couch Kelley straddled Alex’s body, using
his weight to hold the squirmy man in place, Kelley put his hands on Alex’s abs,
fingers at his sides as his possessed Alex’s.
Shoving Alex’s shirt up as Alex lifted to give
enough room for Kelley to pull the shirt off, dropping it to the floor.
Attacking his nipples with teeth and tongue making Alex whimper and moan. Fuck! Hearing those sounds just turned
him inside out. Turning the heat between up to
lava level.
Moving back up to his neck Kelley sucked, tasted as he
reached down with one hand greedily rubbing Alex’s dick through his pants.
Running his hand up and down giving him the same of the pressure that Kelley’s
throbbing cock was begging for.
“Oh,
God.” Alex groaned with a rough edge to
his voice as he arched his neck giving Kelley even more room to explore and
mark. He wanted his mark on this man. Wanted everyone to see that he was Kelley’s. Fearing that with all the pain
locked inside Alex he would never truly
be his.
“Your
shirt. Take off your shirt. I need to feel your skin.”
Kelley
did exactly that.
He
flattened Alex to the couch again, pressing their chest together once again,
Alex had spread his thighs, Kelley slotted himself right there. Their groins
meet and slide together. And holy fucking hell did that feel good. The pressure
of Alex’s steel length against his rock hard cock sending relief and pleasure
throughout his body.
Alex
scratched his nails down his back making him growl. He had his legs bracketing
Kelley’s body holding him in place. Like he would be so fucking stupid as to
move.
He
can feel Alex’s heart jackhammering through his chest. Their breaths panting
out between kisses and moans.
What
had started out slow had built and built
until Kelley wanted to say fuck it and rip Alex’s clothes off to get at every
inch of his skin. To have their bodies, slippery from sweat, sliding together.
And
just like that Kelley knew exactly what
he was going to do. Oh, sweet jesus the
thought alone sending lust hurtling to his aching balls, making him want to shoot.
He
was going to drive Alex to the brink over and over. Making him forget anything
and everything except the need that would be coursing through his body. The
need Kelley would put there. Have Alex begging and pleading Kelley to let him
come.
Within
minutes they lay back on the couch completely naked, kneeling between Alex’s
thighs once again. All of Alex’s gorgeous
fucking skin on display. His cock seemingly begging for attention, the crown
purple and leaking pre-come onto his stomach. Kelley mouth waters with the
thought of sliding it between his lips. But not yet.
Unable
to stop himself he slipped his hands, fingers spread wide, to his ankles, over his thighs, across his chest. Gliding
with the lightest touch around Alex’s erect nipples, back down his arms. Over
and over he did this, needing to get his fill of this beautiful man. No one should have this effect on another person. He
sat there with a naked Alex in front of him in awe of every lean muscle that
pushed up to meet his hands, every scar his traced.
“Kelley,”
Alex bites out as his body trembled under Kelley’s gentle touches.
“Yeah,
baby. You need something?”
“Fuck.
Don’t be an ass. You know want I want.”
Kelley
sank back down on top of him. Licking a path up his collarbone to his throat
and then their mouths meet stifling any more words that Alex was going to say.
Their cocks align perfectly, and Kelley
begins to thrust his cock against Alex’s as their kisses turn desperate and
needy.
Kelley
pulled away, and before Alex could utter
a protest, he moved, swallowing his cock
to the back of his throat. Letting his saliva pool in his mouth, needing all
the wetness he could get for the slide of their cocks. With every groan that
Alex had let out Kelley’s cock would twitch and throb tightening to epic
proportions.
Each
time he could feel Alex getting close Kelley would back off. Time and time
again bringing him to the brink before pulling his mouth and hand away. Alex
would whimper and wiggle, unable to lay still. He was so out of it that he
words were reduced to grunts and groans.
When
Kelley was satisfied that he had sufficiently teased Alex, he pulled off his cock with a pop. Using the spit that was now covering his hand, he coated his own cock with it before laying on top of Alex, lining their cocks
up.
His
body fitting tightly to Alex’s. Wrapping
one arm around Alex’s shoulders, holding as close to him as he could, both
needing the closeness this position gave them. Kelley began thrusting his cock
against Alex’s.
“I’ve
got you, baby. Just feel.”
Profanities
had started to spill from Alex’s mouth. Kelley’s whole body was so overwhelmed
by the slide and friction of their cocks he felt like he could’ve blown his
load at any moment, hoping that Alex was feeling even a silver of what he was.
Alex
had begun to counter thrust, writhing his
tight body under Kelley. His head was tipped back, the muscles of his neck
corded and straining.
“That’s
it, baby. Let go.”
ABOUT THE
AUTHOR
Morningstar
Ashley is a transplant from the Yankee-controlled territory of New York, and
now finds herself in the heartland of cowboys and longhorns—Texas. Armed with
her imagination, wit, and trusty sidekicks in the form of her two crazy kids,
devoted dorky husband, big lap dog, and rambunctious cats, Morningstar spends
her time reading the books she loves, crafting her own characters, and arguing
the merits of hot chocolate over the bitter brew known as coffee (Hot chocolate
wins, FYI.).
Morningstar
loves graphic design, so much so she returned to school for a degree and
regularly tromps her exams and maintains a stellar GPA that occasionally leaves
her confounded and pleased. She can while away the hours on new designs, and
perfection isn’t too much to hope for when it comes to her art.
Her
ideal career would be full-time artist and author, and so far, she hasn’t come
up against anything to stop her on her journey. A fierce and devoted friend,
Morningstar tries her best to always be kind, always be learning, and always
improving. Giving up isn’t an option, and her greatest talent may be in her
ability to convince others not to give up, either. After a lifetime of trying
to get people to realize her first name wasn’t Ashley, Morningstar decided the
best way to settle the debate was to put her name on a book cover. An avid
reader and fiction reviewer for the blog and site Diverse Reader, Morningstar
harbored a dream to one day join the ranks of her heroes, and she sweeps into
the contemporary gay romance genre with her debut novel, LETTING GO. With plans
to conquer gay, lesbian and LGBTQA+ romance, Morningstar has her gaze set on
the horizon, her determination her own guiding star.
