This week's excerpt comes from a short story I’m
revamping. I had a cover made so that I could have some small books made of the
story. I loved the cover so much that I decided to rewrite the story and finish
it they way it deserves.
WIP Excerpt
Tanner hadn’t been that attracted to
someone since the day he met Adam. It left him a little out of sorts, so much
so that he didn’t hear Adam come into the barn until he felt arms around his
waist. He startled just enough for Adam to feel it.
“Okay, what’s up with you? You’ve been home
for ten minutes already. Usually you come give me a kiss when you get back. And
you never startle. You have the ears of a cat.”
Tanner could play this one of two ways. He
could tell Adam that it was nothing, in which case, Adam would say, “Just tell
me”. Then Tanner would say he was fine. Adam would know he was lying and get
all pissed off. Dinner would be silent, but they would probably make up
sometime in the evening. The make-up sex would be awesome, though. Making love
to Adam was always his most favorite thing to do.
Or he could just tell Adam what had gotten
his blood so hot, or rather, who got his blood so hot. This approach, while the
most honest, wasn’t predictable at all. But Tanner wasn’t a cheater, not even
in his mind, and it looked like sexy little Isaac would be their neighbor.
Tanner would be around the guy again and it would look suspicious if he avoided
the guy.
Tanner turned in Adam’s arms. He kissed
Adam once and then hugged him close. “I met our new neighbor. Nelson’s
grandson. He’s fucking hot. Being that attracted to someone other than you,
threw me off a little.”
Adam pulled back and waggled his eyebrows.
“Ooh, now I want to see.”
Tanner chuckled. “We can pay him a visit
later if you want.”
“Yeah, I need to get a good look at the guy
that made you human.”
“You’re not mad?”
“You just looked, right?”
“Of course. You know I’d never do that to
us.”
“Then why would I be mad? You’re
ridiculously over exaggerating this. Do you know how many times I look at an attractive
man. A lot. It’s normal, my big grasshopper.”
“Yeah, I don’t think you understand just
how attracted I was. I felt that exact same thing I did the first time I met
you. Like I was staring at the rest of life. Seriously, Adam.”
Adam’s smile faded and his brows came
together. “You got all that from meeting someone one time?”
“Yep. You remember when we first met.”
“Yeah, you told me not to bother with any
other guy, because you were my future.”
“It wasn’t a line, Adam.”
Adam
cupped Tanner’s cheek and kissed him. “You’re still over thinking it, baby. So
your dick got hard when you saw a pretty face. Happens at least once to every
married man alive. You’re not condemned to the couch.”
“He didn’t make my dick hard by just talking
to him. I’m not eighteen years old anymore.” Tanner rolled his eyes.
Adam chuckled as he let Tanner go, starting
out of the barn. “Oh, that’s right. You’ll be forty in six months. I nearly
forgot just how old you really are.”
“Why you little shit.”
Adam started laughing as he ran out of the
barn. Tanner chased after him. Adam started to slow down when he got to the
yard, turning to look back at Tanner. Adam’s blue eyes widened and he laughed
hysterically. Adam turned and held out his hands, as if to hold Tanner off.
“So I’m old, huh?”
“Oh yeah, ancient.” Adam chuckled and moved
to the side.
“What does that make you then?”
“Younger than you.”
“By only two years.”
“How about later I call you daddy?” Adam
grinned.
Tanner laughed. “I love you so fucking much.”
