Hurt Me

Rate this book
When my sweet baby brother, my angel, my everything, shows up on my doorstep in tears, interrupting a Grindr hookup moments before I blow, there’s no question what’s gonna happen. The hookup needs to GTFO and my cock will just have to deal. Because Emory? I lost my heart to him the day he was born, and I haven’t wanted it back even once in the nineteen years since.

If Em needs me, he’s got me, full stop… not gonna lie, though, I really wasn’t expecting him to need me for this.

HURT ME is a 25,000-word taboo gay smut adventure between an innocent little virgin and the overprotective big brother he knows he can ask anything of. Run the other way if you’re not down with some seriously OTT affection and adoration, unapologetically incestuous brotherly love, and filthy sexual explorations with the creative use of kitchenware. And boo? Note the title. Sweet little Em wants to be hurt. If that’s not your jam, pass this one by, but if you’re down with reading about one hot night that changes everything for these boys, then scoop up this delicious piece of porn-flavored candy and get ready to suck it until your cheeks ache.

3.25 ⭐⭐💫

He was gorgeous.
So damn pretty it actually hurt.
He’d been beautiful from birth. But this?
Nothing, nothing looked as good on my angel as pain.

3 “plain sluts” Stars

Summary: Emory shows up at Danes door 🎶knock knock open up the door it’s real🎶 in tears. Danes in the middle of hookup but as he is wont to do, he drops what he’s doing and rushes to Ems side. They take sibling bonding to a new level. Danes calls him sweetheart and babe, hugs him, and kisses his check and forehead. He goes into “big over protective mode” and asks wait sorry demands what made Em cry. He eventually reveals that he was wrestling with one of his friends and they ended up in a period where said friend was crushing Em’s balls. Emory identifies as ace so this comes as a surprise, not to mention he think he’s a freak. And since he always goes to Dane if he has a problem this time is no different. Dane immediately reassures him that there’s nothing wrong with getting off on pain. With his spirits high he asks Dane if he could/should (I don’t exactly remember) it again and Dane finds that for once he can’t say yes to Em. He offers to “help
him out” and then they’re processing their love for each other all in chapter 1. The next 8 are pretty much the same, they have some kinky sex with a heavy dose of ewww feelings (jk it was pretty sweet)

Characters
Em:
19, brown hair (I think), and irresistible blue eyes.
Described as a twink by Dane. Oh and he’s a pain slut. There’s not much depth to him at all but he was still fun to read about
Dane:
He’s been in love with Em since the day he was born
Every guy he’s been with looks exactly like Em
He does everything for Em
Yada yada you get the point, he lives breathes and shits for Em

Commentary:
Even though this review might sound a little like a rant I still enjoyed it. I wasn’t expecting much but I sure wasn’t expecting sex every chapter. It was definitely pwp but it worked and was highly entertaining. If you’re looking for a quick dirty read this is the one ;)
Pros:
The sex was super hot
Dane and Em were sweet
The writing was pretty good

Cons
Too much sex 🙊😳
Not enough depth

“Anything for you, Emory,” I said, brushing back his too-long bangs and pressing a kiss to his forehead. A chaste one. The last, dying gasp of platonic, brotherly love.


Emory has always thought he was asexual but has accidentally realised that he definitely does feel arousal, except it only seems to be triggered by pain.

His overprotective brother can't let him go out there and be hurt by just anyone though, so he offers himself up for the role. It certainly helps that he's been inappropriately lusting after his brother for some time...good thing for him that the feeling is mutual.

This was written in a really casual style that isn't usually my thing, but was perfectly appropriate for the characters so I was able to get into it pretty easily.

The whole novella is an extended sex scene and it's well written but I think it would have been worth having even just a brief scene of them afterwards instead of just the insinuation that that's their ever after. And the author mentions it herself, this kind of sits in the middle of the pain scale and I'd have liked her to go just a bit harder...like the accidental CBT that triggered this revelation for Emory, that would've been great to replay between them.

Bonus points for "peanut" as a nickname which I think is cute as.

A bit short, basically one giant sex scene. Pretty good all around, with a bit of additional plot a bit like romance this could be awesome. To sum it up, „hurt me quick and dirty, oh brother mine“ 😁

Things that are not okay to do when your baby brother comes to you for comfort and bares his soul with weird sex shit: a) immediately start picturing fucked-up porn, but with his sweet little face photoshopped in place of the actors’; b) grind your primed-up cock against him before you catch yourself, but not before you get about three seconds from drenching him in your cum; c) forget that he’s your goddamn brother, not a sex doll, and that none of that shit is appropriate or ever will be.

Moja pierwsza książka Chary Croft (po tej zdążyłam przeczytać już dwie inne) i chyba na razie dam sobie spokój.

Napisać nudną książkę o zakazanej tematyce jest umiejętnością wybitną. Autorka za dużo "siedzi" w głowach bohaterów - te natrętnie powtarzające się wewnętrzne myśli są po pewnym czasie męczące. Za dużo myślenia, za mało rozmowy.

Ok so it turns out that I really love brocest books, who would have known?! 😳
Another really hot kinky smut book by Chara, between two brothers who would do anything for each other, including some controlled hurting

*fans self* Taboo? Check! Masochist? Check! Absolutely inappropriate shenanigans? Check, check check!!
I can see this hot little bundle of fun being my go-to read when I hit a slump. It's just the thing to fire up the nerve endings and make the blood pump in all the juicy places!
Emory hits all my subbie buttons with his needy ways and Dane's protectiveness makes me melt!
If you can't tell - I LOVED this book.

This is erotica so I don’t do full reviews but this was very sweet and hot! Brocest, sadomasochism, and sweet love.

Well written, super quick novella. Normally, my problem with books this length is the inherent lack of emotional connection. With this taboo subject matter, the connection is already there. Obviously avoiding the ethics of the topic itself, damn can Croft write some steamy smut.

M/m, hea, incest

Okay so this is a short story. It is basically just one scene between two brothers. I actually got a little bored and I'm not sure why? Maybe it was the fact that a lot of what took place was inner dialogue and seemed to revolve around repeating that they shouldn't do this but they WANTED to.

Oh shit... I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Pain and stuff isn’t my thing and sometimes I feel a little cringey when I read it, but this book definitely made me feel different. I could tell that Emory wanted the pain, needed it, and that Dane wanted to give him whatever he needed because he wanted to take care of him. I felt the love behind it which made it different for me. Dane didn’t want to hurt Emory, but he did it anyway because it’s what Emory really enjoyed, but he also did it in a loving way. It probably helped having both of their POVs.

This book was just one huge sex scene during one night and holy shit... just wow. I’m going to go download some more books from this author now.

(2) coming off of Henry the HuCow, this just felt too…tame. pain is definitely one of my top kinks i love reading about—the more pain, the better imo. it can probably be my life motto. anyways, this was more sweet than pain. there was also too much inner monologue which made me exhausted to be in the characters’ head, and sometimes i would lose the dialogue trying to follow their train of thought.

Re-read 7/11 still as deliciously porny and hot!

Original review: Freaking hot! I'm on a bit of a porny taboo binge right now, and this was perfectly what I was craving. Might have to go take a cold shower...or just read some more deliciously well-written trash!

Well. There's another one.
I can't stop it, what's wrong with me??



So, again, we have two brothers, Emery and Dane.
Emery is the little brother, an asexual/demisexual, that realises he gets off sexually with extreme pain.
Dane is his big, muscled, older firefighter brother.
They're very close and both gay.

☀️THE WHOLE BOOK is just about this one sex-pain-session they experience together.☀️

That's it, that's this book. Their first time getting together.

The story includes a lot of pain-induced pleasure, but the MC's don't have the dom/sub dynamic, Dane just wants to give Emery what he needs and he doesn't trust anyone else to give it to him and really take care of him so that they won't hurt him.
Being the good brother that he is, he's the one making it happen.




➡️A few things that didn't work for me, now that I've read a few things from this author and it's repetitive;

🔵Kissing - the author explains everything in great detail, EXCEPT kissing, and that's a negative for me, the experience is just not complete; it's not enough to write "they kissed", "he kissed him hard", no, please tell me about the tongue!!!

🟣A lot of inner monologues, a lot of story telling, not enough of dialogues, you feel like certain events drag on for hours, when it's been just a minute or less, but the author takes up pages and pages just for explaining the emotions and the mindset of the MC's

🟠I liked the smut, I just wanted for something else to happen in the book; the author does give a few sentences to let us know they lived happily ever after, but again, no actual epilogue


If you want a smutty, hot, short read, this is for you, absolutely no plot, no angst, just a lot of spanking and a lot of sex.


Needless to say the characters are good and if the author would consider giving them a chance and writing a full book about them, I'd read it in a heartbeat, but since it left me a bit unsatisfied, I can't give it more than 2.9⭐.

My interest in taboo reads has peaked once more and I have just been looking for something to really get me going, but this story was not quite that.

Hurt Me features Emory who turns to his big brother, Dane for reassurance when he learns that he might be a pain slut. And, Dane who is in the middle of hooking up finds himself dropping everything to make sure his angel, his baby brother is all right. But when he realises what Em is telling him, he knows he can't let anyone else hurt him, especially because no one else cares for Emory quite as he does.

I really liked the dynamic between Em and Dane, because Em knows he is taking advantage of how much Dane loves him but he is not beyond using it to get his undivided attention. Dane on the other hand thinks the world of his angel and will do anything for him. It made sense how they ended up in this situation because they are both scared of losing the other's attention and love.

The sex was hot, and it was good but unfortunately, I have read a lot of books with CBT and in comparison to that this book felt way too tame. I feel like someone who is reading books featuring kink for the first time or someone who dabbles in kink sometimes but hasn't read a whole horde of books with BDSM will definitely get more enjoyment from this short than I did.

It makes sense that Em and Dane who are both trying out this kink for the first time aren't going to go hardcore the very first time but for a book that focuses on sex, it is imperative that the sex blow you away because that's literally the only thing you are reading this story for. And, unfortunately, it didn't blow me away. So, while I liked it and enjoyed it, I feel like this book wasn't for me, I have read way too much taboo and kink.

“I’ve got you,” Dane promised, his lips so hot it was like he was branding the words into my skin. And then he suddenly bit me, one hand still fisted tightly in my hair and sending wave after wave of that rippling, heatpainhurtyesmoreohmygod feeling down my spine as his teeth closed on the most sensitive part of my throat and utterly claimed it.
Hello, yes, this book was pretty hot. They already had a deep brotherly bond & love until their man parts decided to get involved and elevate the relationship.

“You put Mom’s chip clips on me,” I said, still channeling my inner Captain O.
Dane’s lips quirked up in the sexiest smile imaginable. “Don’t tell.”
#1 requirement of 'cesty tales is remind me constantly that you're related and this one does it so well. Big bro stole chip clips from their mom's kitchen and used them as nipple clamps on little bro😆 Only small complaint was a lot of inner monologue.

Lol well this was a fun, super quick, and taboo read, which is what I was wanting. It was fast-paced, sweet, steamy, and OTT in an entertaining way. It kind of reminded me of Jessa Kane novellas. Had similar vibes. Like the MM version of JK novellas.😆 Overall, I liked the writing and the story. I don’t think I’ve ever really read a book that included masochism and the MC needing pain in this way, so it was interesting and different.

Full disclosure: the book does delivers what it promises (brocons getting down and dirty real fast), and I do love me some co-dependent big bro/younger bro incest. But I guess I kinda expected a little bit more plot and that's on me. The writing style also wasn't my favorite.
Dane, though. [adds him to the Big Brother Supremacy list]

Eh - this book didnt hold my interest like I thought it would.

About brothers - one who is experienced and literally about to get it on with a twink and the other who is inexperienced and as the title states wants to get off by being hurt.

It tries to be hot and taboo but it ends up being messy fluff.

It started off well but then it kind of just repeated itself and ended with a fizzle.

I wish this took place over a longer period than a single day but it was fine and still pretty cute despite it being literally ALL sex. Also — way too much inner monologue and too little dialogue. It’s to an awkward and unnecessary degree that every actual line of dialogue feels like it was delayed while the characters just took their time THINKING

Sweet little Emory isn’t so sweet after all and Dane, who will do anything—I mean anything to make his Em happy—knows exactly what he needs. Who knew chip clips could be so sexy? But nothing is as sexy as these two!

Emory and Dane’s dynamic in this story make is loving and sweet where you forget that they are brothers. Dane is overprotective and wants Emory for himself and Emory wants his brother to help him hurt. It was a fun enjoyable taboo read.

Hot, sexy, kinky, taboo short story. Dane and Emory are very close. Emory idolizes his big brother Dane, and Dane will do anything for his little brother. So, when Emory explains to Dane that he likes a little pain, Dane is more than happy to provide it. This is one long very hot sex scene.

My first read from chara croft. It was a short incesteous story stretched over a single sex scene. I enjoyed reading it although I feel like I would have loved to read more of it. Dane and emy were so adorable together.
