Crawling Into Bed With
Karen Stivali
And a Good Book
Important
things first, are these sheets silk or cotton?
They’re cotton and
they’re t-shirt sheets. I believe everything in a bedroom should be as
inviting, soft and touchable as possible. Okay, maybe not everything should be
soft…
*facepalm*
Why did Will not warn me about this? What are you wearing?
Did you want me to wear
something? I can go get dressed…
*sighs
patiently* Just… Pull that sheet up over your… Yeah, that. What are we snacking
on in bed while we read tonight? There are tons of
blankets on the bed so even though it’s cold out it’s nice and warm in here---I’d
say ice cream. You can choose the flavor. Just no rum raisin, please. *blech*
You
know, I've never actually seen rum raisin ice cream in a store? I'm good with
most flavors, but I get a kick out of a little salt, so let's sprinkle that
with some Spanish peanuts and drizzle it with chocolate sauce… mmm. If I open
this nightstand drawer, what will I find?
That’s my night stand so
you’d find books, pens, lotion (I love a good foot rub), lip balm, notes from
all of my novels and several that aren’t written, probably a bit of candy
(unless I ate it all the night before) and Ambien (I’ve got terrible insomnia).
You might want to peek in the other night stand as well. *whistles*
*eyes
other drawer* Oh really? Do you roll up in the blankets like a burrito, or kick
the covers off during the night?
Depends on the season.
It’s often below zero in the winter up here in NH so then I’m in burrito mode
but the summers are hot and humid and I often don’t use covers at all. It also
varies depending how hot the other person in bed is. Take that however you
wish.
*blinks*
Probably better if I just… er leave it as is. Can I put my cold feet on your
calves to warm them up?
You could try but it’s
pretty chilly in NH right now. My calves might chill your cold feet even more.
I tend to be freezing when I first get into bed. I heat up later.

Collin
expected to spend another summer fixing cars and working at the college
pizzeria. Instead, he's living in a beach house on Fire Island, waiting tables
at a hip seaside restaurant and, for the first time since he and Tanner got
together, they can publicly be known as boyfriends. Being "out" takes
some getting used to, but with the help of new and old friends, Collin is
happier than he ever imagined. And more in love. But newfound freedom brings
unexpected challenges, and when friends get flirty, old insecurities arise.
Moments of doubt and jealousy threaten their happiness, and Collin and Tanner
must confront the truth or risk losing it all.
Excerpt:
His smile twitched as he started up the
next staircase. The last one. The one that led to our room and nowhere else. My
hearth hammered hard and fast, and not from stair climbing. I needed to touch
Tanner, soon, or every part of my body from my brain to my balls was going to
simultaneously combust.
Tanner pushed our door open with
exaggerated care and stepped inside. Jesus, is he trying to make me crazy?
All I want is to….
My back slammed against the wall, and
before I could complete my thought, Tanner’s mouth was on mine. The kiss was
savage, tongue hot and heavy against mine, cock hot and heavy against mine.
Even through our shorts, I could feel how ready he was. My head swam.
Desperate for more, I grabbed on to him,
rolling us toward the door and kicking it shut. Tanner let out a grunt as I
pressed him against the hard wood. Could anyone hear us? I didn’t care. I just
needed this. Tanner. Now.
As soon as I shoved his T-shirt up his
ribs, he yanked it off and tossed it aside. Warm smooth skin greeted my
fingertips, filling my nose with his scent. God, I missed this. My mouth
returned to his, tongues dueling as my hands fumbled with his fly. I couldn’t
stop rubbing against him enough to get the zipper down. Tanner grabbed my ass,
crushing his cock alongside mine, humping against me with enough intensity I
had to force myself not to come.
I didn’t want that. Not yet. Not standing
against the door when that crazy big bed was only feet away. As if he read my
mind, Tanner shoved me backward, taking advantage of the moment our bodies
parted to strip off his shorts. I tugged off my shirt, and before I could
launch it across the room, Tanner had my shorts undone and down. Kicking them
away put me off-balance, and Tanner steadied me with one hand clutching the
back of my neck and the other wrapped around my cock.
Whimpers echoed through the room. My
whimpers. His thumb slicked over my swollen head, round and round in circles
that left me dizzy and panting.
“Let’s try out the bed.” Tanner’s voice
was low and thick. I’d have said yes to anything he asked with that voice.
I couldn’t
actually say a word, so I nodded and pulled us down onto the mattress. Holy
Jesus. Soft cool sheets, warm hard body, wet velvety tongue. Heaven. Fire
Island was heaven.Author Bio: Karen Stivali is a prolific writer, compulsive baker and chocoholic with a penchant for books, movies, and fictional British men.
