Say You're Mine!
A.J. Ridges - 2015
If Kane doesn’t want him, he’ll find someone else who does, and his twenty-fifth birthday bash is the perfect place to do it. Unfortunately that’s easier said than done, especially since Kane won’t let Drew out of his sight and purposely scares off any man who pays Drew the slightest attention. When the night comes to an end, will Kane walk away from Drew like he always does or will Drew’s birthday wish finally come true? This is a complete, short, gay, erotic m/m romance, approximately 4000 words. It features explicit m/m sexual situations, content and language and is intended for adult readers. ‘Say You’re Mine’ is the amazing result of a reader’s outlandish request. When I was challenged to: write, edit, create a cover and publish an erotic short story in less than 24 hours, I couldn’t possibly refuse. This story is the result of that fun request. Needless to say, the reader was so shocked and delighted with the result of her challenge that I decided to share Kane and Drew's story with the rest of the world. I hope you enjoy this quickie tale. - AJ
Embers
Abigail Hilton - 2010
The system is under attack by a gang of pirates called the Guild of the Cowry Catchers who prey on Temple treasure ships. The Temple Police charged with eradicating this menace keep disappearing. Enter Gerard, a young prince, exiled from his small kingdom for rashly marrying the court minstrel. He has been chosen by the High Priestess as the new captain of Police. Gerard is smart, honorable, and a little naive. To break the pirate ring, he must cooperate with a wily, amoral colleague, who has already tried to kill him twice. As Gerard struggles to protect his talented wife, obey his seductive employer, and forge a complicated friendship with his dangerous co-worker, he becomes increasingly aware that the pirates have a legitimate quarrel with the wyverns. Dark secrets lurk in the Temple dungeons, and solving them will cost Gerard far more than his honor.
