This time I'm doing things a little differently since it's also my second year anniversary at Dreamspinner Press. I'm having a Book Release party tomorrow here:

I'd love it if you'd stop by and comment. I'm posting a couple of excerpts, an interview that was done recently, and a short blurb on how I was inspired to write Taste. Everyone who has commented so far is on my list for the contest. I'm giving away two e-books, and one signed paperback, so this is your last chance to win.

I hope I'll see some familiar faces tomorrow.

Meanwhile, here is a very short excerpt to entice you. Lil has just spent the entire day with Grier and they're getting ready to go dancing.

Lil waited outside the bathroom door, which was off his bedroom. He heard the flush, the sound of running water in the sink, and then Grier opened the door and stood in front of him. There were drops of water spiking his lashes, and his breath was minty fresh after using the toothbrush Lil had handed him right out of the package. He'd urged Grier to use whatever he needed, and he could smell his own Calvin Klein in the air since Grier had applied it quite liberally. He looked rejuvenated with the little bit of sprucing.

They'd been together all day and apart from the brief peck on the boat they had never moved beyond handholding. Lil pushed Grier up against the wall and studied the man he had trapped in-between his arms. He stared into eyes that were as black as a starless night and could think of nothing beyond kissing him. He wanted a taste, and he wanted it now. He thumbed Grier's lips and sighed when Grier flicked out his tongue and drew in Lil's finger, sucking on it gently. That move went straight to Lil's groin, and he felt his cock surge in response. "Kissing you," Lil announced, one second before he crushed Grier's mouth.

Grier arched into him and met his passion head on. They tangled tongues, and Lil's hands were all over Grier's ass, kneading the firm muscles encased in tight jeans. He was grinding against him shamelessly, encouraged by Grier's matching boner and the soft whining sounds coming from deep in his throat. "Shit, you're killing me," Lil sighed, pushing Grier away reluctantly.

"Don't stop," Grier protested. He wrapped his arms around Lil's neck and began kissing him again. Lil was lost in a swirl of sensation. Grier's tongue swept his mouth aggressively. He knew that Grier was just as eager to move onto the next step, but Lil was hesitant. There was something holding him back, and so he chose to wait. Once more, he stepped away from the beautiful man in his arms. Grier's lips were swollen from the kissing, and he looked dazed and disappointed. "Lil?"

"Yeah?"

"I want you."

Lil closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "We've got all night."

"Do we?"

"That's unless someone's waiting for you?"

"No," Grier said slowly. "There's no one."

"Your absence won't turn into an Amber Alert?"

"I'm not twelve, Lil, even though I still live with my father."

"Do you?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Long story."

"You have all night to tell me," Lil said gently. "Give me a minute to get ready."

Lil stepped into the bathroom, and leaned up against the closed door. He took several deep breaths to try and regain some of his composure, which had been blown apart by the kiss. He was completely captivated, and wanted Grier desperately, but there was an element of vulnerability he'd never expected from his sexy bad boy, despite the tattoos and the self-assured persona. Lil wanted this endless date―ten hours since the boat ride―to be more than just a one-night stand. He knew there was no future for them, but he wanted the sex to be memorable at least. A quickie wasn't what he had in mind.
