When Malcolm Jenner’s
sex-on-the-side turns into more, he isn’t above begging for a second chance.
High profile attorney Malcolm
Jenner is looking for a bit of fun, nothing serious. He's got duties and
responsibilities, after all. He doesn't usually choose his lovers from the
office, but his attraction to Jacob Renault is too compelling to resist.
However, Jacob isn't interested
in temporary. He wants it all—Prince Charming, the castle, the happily ever
after. There's no rule that says the younger man can't have fun while he's
searching for his prince, though…
At first neither is willing to
compromise on their stance, but an agreement is reached, with each man planning
to do his best to subvert the other to his viewpoint. Lust turns to love, and
what’s impossible becomes merely improbable, but is it going to be enough?
Malcolm gritted
his teeth and reminded himself that an office fling with a man who had to be at
least ten years his junior was out of the question. He and Penny had long since
relinquished any pretense of monogamy in their marriage and reached an amicable
agreement to conduct their affairs discreetly out of respect for their son and
their friendship. Fucking purple-eyed twinks in the elevator at work? Not
discreet.
He kept his gaze
focused on the gleaming silver metal of the doors as the elevator made its
excruciatingly slow way up to the third floor. His glance flicked to the
reflection beside his. The younger man stood casually, shoulders propped
against the wall, licking pink lips. His purple gaze in the hazy reflection was
focused…fuck…on Malcolm's obvious erection beneath his dark dress pants. Discretion. Discretion. He snarled at
his libido. There will be no casual
hookups with people from the office, he warned his eager cock. He shifted
to the side slightly, hoping to hide the evidence of his arousal from the other
man. Damn it. That kid had the sexiest eyes he'd ever seen. He wanted like hell
to see them glaze over as he fucked the tight ass hinted at by the khaki pants
he wore. He didn't go much for the intimacy of face-to-face encounters, but for
the sight of those eyes and that mouth in the throes of orgasm, he'd make an
exception. His tendency toward quick casual encounters disguised his preference
for male partners and kept word of his homosexuality from getting back to his parents,
his partners in the firm, and out to the public.
A law office, like
any other place of business, was a microcosm of the world at large. Malcolm
knew from being on the receiving end of gossip from his secretary Marge that
every action and interaction between employees was fodder for the gossip mill.
Being the subject of water cooler gossip lacked appeal and offended his sense
of dignity, as did the knowledge that he apparently couldn't control his urges
around the tech guy.
He threw in the
towel and gave up the fight against his attraction to the young man from the
technology department. Malcolm caught that sultry purple gaze on his cock for
what must have been the hundredth time. The slight young man brushed against
him in an intentional teasing slide while he tried to exit the elevator on the
second floor.
Impulsively,
Malcolm grabbed Jacob's hand and pulled him back inside the otherwise-empty
space. He kept that small, soft hand locked in his own as he allowed the heavy
metal doors to slam shut and the elevator to rise to his own floor. There he
slapped his palm against the button that prevented the doors from opening. He'd
had all the titillation he could stand. Malcolm swept the young man into his
embrace. He tilted Jacob's head upward with one hand and dropped his mouth
passionately, almost brutally, to kiss the other man. His other hand tangled in
the black curls that had taunted his senses over the past weeks. He forced the
soft pink lips apart, then swept his tongue inside. Instantly he was absorbed
in the heated, slick haven of Jacob's mouth. The honeyed sweetness drew him
further in and his tongue eagerly sought the textures and flavors that had been
hidden there. Fuck. He could drown in
the wet heat he found behind those soft lips. It was addictive. Jacob didn't
even try to escape the kiss; in fact, he seemed to be doing his best to
encourage it. He brushed his tongue against Malcolm's, sweeping it gently along
the roof of his mouth, seeking and finding the sweetest spots. Both men were
panting heavily when they separated.

Flash Fiction Friday: My Pet
My Pet
My Pet
Don't tell him I love him. I see the way he treats his
lovers. Man or woman, he takes what he wants and heads back to the streets, preying
on the unwary. The fools jump in his bed, never heed my warnings. I hiss and
scratch, but they coo and moan. They never fucking listen. And they always
leave in tears.
I see through his mystique, know the man behind the illusion.
Fuck him.
A stroke isn't all the affection I need.
One day, My Lord,
you'll see your place in this relationship.
We'll talk "nice kitty" then.
Like that flash?

Crawl in Bed With Silvia Violet
Crawling Into Bed With Silvia
And a Good Book
*crawls into bed and stretches out* Important things first, are these sheets silk or cotton?
*snuggles in next to Lee* smooth, crisp high thread count cotton
*grins* Ease of removal is a pivotal point when choosing sleeping attire. What are we snacking on in bed while we read tonight? I made
cookies. Oatmeal chocolate chip and classic peanut butter.
Okaym, now that we're all cozy and comfy here, what are we reading? My newest release, Reef's Guardian in
which a marine biologist and a shapeshifter heat up the underwater world.
Reef's Guardian by Silvia Violet
Available at Changeling Press:

Blurb:
Brett Leland serves as the director of an underwater research
station located near one of the world’s last healthy coral reefs. His life’s
work is focused on protecting the reef and discovering why it has remained
healthy as others are failing. But his university plans to sell the research
station, and someone is trying to sabotage his final mission.
Setiwan Maramis is one of the legendary shape shifting guardians
of the reef. He’s been watching Brett since the scientist first came to the
station, and he wants Brett as both an ally and a lover. He is forbidden to
reveal himself to humans, but when an enemy puts Brett’s life in danger, Setiwan
follows his heart rather than the dictates of his people.
Excerpt:
“We can’t destroy the station.” Setiwan paced the length of his
father’s office. Being on land too long always made him restless. He needed to
get back in the water that afternoon even if only for a swim.
His father shook his head. “If the station falls into the Stanley
Corp’s hands, we’ll have no choice.”
Seti fought the urge to yell. Why wouldn’t anyone listen to him?
“If we fund a research team, the university won’t sell it.”
“Possibly. They may simply want to be rid of the burden.”
Seti sank heavily into one of the upholstered chairs in front of
his father’s desk. He glanced out the window but from this angle a matrix of
tall buildings blocked his view of the beach and the ocean beyond. “There are
still enough humans who care about the environment to raise an uproar. The
academics don’t need more bad press. Not if they can get the money elsewhere,
at least that’s what Dr. Leland thinks.”
His father arched a brow. “You seem quite enamored of Dr. Leland.”
Heat crept into Setiwan’s face. He didn’t want to discuss his
interest in the researcher with his father. “He’s an excellent scientist, and
he’s passionate about reef conservation. He would help us protect the reef.”
His father frowned. “He’s human.”
“So are most of the people who work for you.”
“They’re in our land-based offices, not on the reef. If we let the
humans work with us underwater, they are certain to learn our secrets and that
–”
“Is forbidden by Guardian law.” Setiwan just managed to keep from
rolling his eyes. “I know. You’ve been quoting these laws to me since I was a
toddler. When those laws were made, the current levels of pollution and climate
change were unimaginable.”
Setiwan’s father sighed. “True, but I can’t make a unilateral
decision to change our protocols.”
Setiwan squeezed his hands into fists. Why was his father so damn
reluctant to take charge? “Who can change the policy if not you? You’re one of
the most respected and powerful Guardians. You’re in a position to fund
research which could help the reef and even transform other reefs whose
Guardians have renounced their duties.”
“I will not simply ignore the laws that have guided our people for
centuries.”
But he could if he wanted to. Few Guardians had even half his
power or his business sense. He’d started ExploreSafe and made it into an
internationally respected company providing environmentally friendly equipment
for diving and marine research. His father still worked out of the original
office in Indonesia, but they now had offices in Australia, Japan, and the US.
His father wanted the Guardians to have resources and contacts in the human
world. Why wouldn’t he use those now?
His father tapped a pen against his desk. Setiwan looked up, his
attention back on the man in front of him. His father spoke again. “Imagine
what would happen if knowledge of our abilities got out.”
Setiwan frowned. That would be disastrous. He could see the
headlines now, ExploreSafe CEO Practices Witchcraft, Businessman Claims He
Can Change Form. And yet, what choice did they have if they were going to
save their reef? “We have no way of knowing how much worse the situation will
get. We may reach a point where we no longer have the power to keep our reef
healthy. My energy is drained daily simply from counteracting the effects of
pollutants and overly warm waters.”
His father tapped the end of a pen on his desk, a rare show of
agitation. “What exactly are you asking me to do?”
“I want you to give the university enough funding to keep the
station running and let their researchers work hand in hand with us to protect
our reef and others in the region.”
His father frowned. “I can’t promise you that, not without more
evidence that these researchers are trustworthy.”
Setiwan barely kept himself from grinning. His father hadn’t said
no. He was actually considering his idea. What his father didn’t know was that
Seti had extensive knowledge about Brett Leland’s research as well as the work
of other research teams who’d spent time on the station.
Every time a new group of scientists arrived, Seti waited until
they were all asleep and entered the station through the moon pool. He checked
on the animals they’d taken from the reef and read through their records to
ascertain their research goals. If their test subjects weren’t being properly
cared for or their motives weren’t pure, he made sure little things went wrong,
nothing to harm the humans but enough to hassle them and make them less likely
to want to return.
The last time Brett Leland had come below, Setiwan took his
explorations further. He’d crept into the station’s bunk room and watched Brett
sleep. He couldn’t explain why the man called to him, but he hadn’t been able
to stop himself from leaning down and brushing the man’s lips with his own.
Brett had groaned, a low soft sound that had Seti stroking his cock and wishing
he dared take his explorations further.
“I’ll go on board and talk to them.” Setiwan’s heart pounded. No
other Guardian would dare make such a statement to his father. Hiding from
humans while underwater was the number one Guardian law.
