An Xcite Books collection of five gay erotic stories with mixed themes including contemporary, historical, m/m, spanking, exhibitionism, voyeurism and sex outdoors.
Stud Poker by Landon Dixon
Brent had crashed at his buddy’s place after an all-night poker session. And when he woke up, he found his cock in his Jockeys as stiff as an ace-high straight, tenting his thin underwear like a tall stack of chips. And he found his buddy’s roommate, Kurt, sitting on the edge of the bed, the man’s warm, brown hand dealing Brent’s bare, muscled thigh a caress. The two events seemed to be strangely related. Virgin Brent didn’t know whether to walk away or run; or actually let Kurt play his hand out. Could “poke-him” be even more fun than po-ker?
Spangle by Alcamia Payne
Failed rocker Spangle’s life is turned upside down when he falls in love with Italian stockbroker Faldo. Spangle thinks Faldo’s fallen for his badass rocker image and, scared of ruining his macho persona by admitting he’s really an exotic stripper, he gets trapped in a web of lies which threaten to spoil everything. When Spangle shuts Faldo out of his fake late-night rocker rehearsals, Faldo becomes suspicious Spangle has a lover and their love affair is threatened. Right when Spangle is about to lose Faldo, though, a comedic error means Spangle is forced to reveal the truth, with unexpected results.
The Wrong Side of the Glass by Josephine Myles
A laugh with some mates down the pub, a few too many Screaming Orgasms made with cheap vodka, and what do you know, Pete’s got the hiccups again. Worse yet, he knows from past experience the only way to make them go away is to starve his body of oxygen, so he heads outside to suffocate himself quietly. However, the sexy, smoking man in the alleyway suggests a cure that sounds like far more fun … for both of them!
The Stable Hand by Jasmine Benedict
Victor Hatridge is the most eligible bachelor in the county. Hattie Sherritt is the most eligible lady. Hattie believes herself the perfect bride for Victor, but Victor has no interest in the tiring conventions that polite society would have forced upon him. Victor has his eye, his desire and, just perhaps, his heart set firmly upon another – a secret, forbidden lover in the shape of his gruff stable hand, Eli Brown. When Eli interrupts a dinner party, intent upon stealing a moment with his master in the stables, Victor slowly comes to realise just how little he cares for the world outside that draughty old building and them.
Boys of Summer by Michael Bracken
Delbert, Gary, and Carl are three good ol’ Texas boys trying to beat the heat when they sneak down to the swimming hole on Old Man Carter's property. Not one of them remembers to take a swimming suit and their skinny-dipping quickly leads to sex and sunburns.
These stories also appear in Bad Boys published by Xcite Book.
I took a (brief) time out from life and read the first story Stud Poker. It was a highly entertaining piece of PWP. It wasn't bad - the sentences were well constructed, engaging, and interesting. Too interesting. I can't stop grinning at the language :D I'm pretty sure the author took his writing coach's advice to heart when he/she said 'use more descriptives!' I'm totally going three and a half stars for sheer entertainment value. Example, you say?
"I pushed upwards, jamming my engorged meat into the wet cauldron of his mouth,"
"The guy wet-vacced my cock with a wicked suction, his tongue wagging across the boiling underside of my shaft, his teeth barely scraping the surface of my lust. "
So, it was free, and it made me laugh. Don't pay for it, but it would be good for like hen's night party games where everyone is drunk, and you have to guess the missing words from a paragraph.
Victor Hatridge quivered. He was not, of course, the breed of man to permit such feeble things, but there it was. Climbing like a creeper, winding its tendrils round his spine, a shiver thrilled through him, despite his prime position at the fireside. Leaning with his elbows on the grand, marble mantelpiece, Victor bowed his head and cocked it aside gazing intently into the rampant flames that frolicked behind the grate while feigning an eligible bachelor of a laugh.
Please read Erica's review too, because she got all the good lines from the first story.
I couldn't finish two of the five stories, and one is a super-short baby ficlet.
This was a free one, I picked it up as it had a Josephine Myles story in it and I like her writing. There 5 stories. As I said, I'm preprogrammed to like Jo Myles and I enjoyed her story. The others were a bit hit and miss but if taken in the spirit of they are free, they are short stories (so have to cut to the chase quickly) and dont expect too much, then worth a quick read with your coffee.
