Book Excerpt from Sidhe

 

Book Excerpt

There was a tremble in Nathan's hands when he first reached for the hem of Sasha's shirt. He wasn't desperate for oblivion like he had been the night he left the Gatehouse, but he did want and need with enough urgency that he was shaking.
"Nathan," Sasha whispered against his lips, warm hands reaching down to take Nathan's and still his trembling. Sasha helped him then, he didn't push Nathan's hands away, just guided them, lifting the T-shirt up his body until it was off. "It's okay," the shirt fell to the floor and Sasha reached for Nathan's face with both hands, "I love you. Nothing's ever going to change that."
Another kiss, just as new, like breathing, like coming up out of deep water and breathing again for the first time. Nathan didn't even realize at first that he had started to back Sasha toward the bed. It was instinct, moving for a comfortable surface so this could be easier, so he didn't have to struggle to stay standing when his knees were weak.
Sasha smiled when they neared the bed, pulling back and lowering himself onto it with nothing but trust on his face, and love, and encouragement.
Nathan didn't hesitate. He sunk right down into Sasha, kissing again, touching the pads of his fingers to the smooth skin of Sasha's chest. It felt so natural, even as it was fresh, and new, and different. It didn't feel rushed or wrong like Nathan had feared. Dave had taken the shadow from Nathan's heart, and though it wasn't yet bathed in light, it knew how to turn toward it and seek the light out.
Nathan's over-shirt was pushed down his arms, his T-shirt pulled up over his head and tossed away, leaving both of them only in jeans. They scooted up the bed as they kissed, smiling throughout it all like they almost couldn't believe they could have this again.
It had been three weeks at least, close to four, since the last time they were together long enough for Sasha to feed. Sasha had to need this more than he was letting show, and Nathan had to wonder what the incubus would have done if he had been in the Veil for longer than a week's time on Earth.
They shared a smile as they came up for air, but Nathan wasn't sure what to do next. Well, he knew what to do. It was just difficult to undress Sasha the rest of the way when his hands were shaking.

Book Excerpt The River Leith




Excerpt 


Leith could still taste the sweat. Hear the cheers, and smell the stench of cheap beer. “I won. But then he started puking blood. It was unreal. Everyone panicked—they just broke and ran. Sweets tried to convince me to leave, too, but I couldn’t just let that kid…I mean, he was…there was blood everywhere and it just didn’t stop.”
“So you called 911.”
“I did.”
“And you waited for them so he wouldn’t be alone.”
Leith could smell the copper of blood as he whispered, “Yeah.”
“And he lived because of you.”
“He also almost died because of me.”
“Well, you got to spend two years in prison for that, so I figure you paid plenty for that lack of judgment. Time to stop flogging that dead horse. He lived. You did your time for your bad choices. It’s done. And now you’re here with me. Life led you right into my arms.”
Leith snorted. “You’re kind of a hippie romantic.”
“You’re kind of determined to beat yourself up about stuff you can’t control. And you’re a romantic, too, so we’re matched there.”
“You make me feel good,” he blurted. “Really good.”
Zach crawled over, pushing him down on the ground and climbing on top of him, running his hands over Leith’s chest. “I can’t help it. I just know exactly what you need.”
“Oh really?”
“Oh yes.”
Leith kissed him, and thought that Zach did know what he needed. But he also sensed that in some way he didn’t yet understand, Leith held the cards between them. Somehow that made him want to protect Zach, and that feeling always made him want to fuck him.
A few minutes later Zach was riding him, his head thrown back and his skin beautiful with red, orange, and blue flickers from the campfire. Leith gripped Zach’s hips and watched his cock bounce, the strings of pre-come glistening in the flame’s glow.

Memory is everything. 


After an injury in the ring, amateur boxer Leith Wenz wakes to discover his most recent memories are three years out of date. Unmoored and struggling to face his new reality, Leith must cope anew with painful revelations about his family. His brother is there to support him, but it’s the unfamiliar face of Zach, a man introduced as his best friend, that provides the calm he craves. Until Zach’s presence begins to stir up feelings Leith can’t explain. 


For Zach, being forgotten by his lover is excruciating. He carefully hides the truth from Leith to protect them both from additional pain. His bottled-up turmoil finds release through vlogging, where he confesses his fears and grief to the faceless Internet. But after Leith begins to open up to him, Zach's choices may come back to haunt him. 


Ultimately, Leith must ask his heart the questions memory can no longer answer.
