Jared and Kyle's first kiss.

Better late than never. Here is an excerpt from Bringing Him Home. It's not set in stone and it may get changed slightly in the final draft, but hopefully it will give you a taste of what Jared and Kyle are up to.

Jared has just come out of a shower stall to find Kyle standing there waiting for him. He'd only met the man a few mintues earlier when Kyle had asked to borrow some toothpaste. He doesn't know Kyle's name yet, or what it will be like between them, but he's already fantasied in the shower, and now he's going to find out for real...

Jared stood his ground though he felt like backing into the stall behind him and slamming the door again. It was safer, if not exactly constructive. The other man seemed to know what he was thinking, because he smiled. Jared had to hold his breath to stop the air from being forcefully expelled from his lungs. Wow, the man knew how to smile. Did he know how to kiss, too? Though Jared thought he also knew the answer to that, he wanted to find out. Really wanted to find out.Natural caution warred with a desire to explore the possibilities which didn't just end at a kiss. Caution won, and he wasn't a tease. He didn't want to lead the man on, or be led on."Look, this is not going to happen between us," he said, noting the sound of regret in his tone and wondering at it."Why not? You can't deny the attraction. You're not denying your sexuality, are you?""No, I'm not." Jared didn't want to get angry, not in the face of such open sincerity. He supposed the question was normal. "But I don't do quick fucks in shower rooms.""Nor do I. I like to fuck real slow." The soft, husky drawl did things to Jared he hadn't thought possible, not from just hearing someone speak.The man smiled again and this time Jared huffed a breath out, but then couldn't draw one back in.The smile turned into a grin. "Can I buy you a coffee, then?" the blond asked."Coffee?""Yeah. You know, the dark aromatic brew.""I know what the fuck coffee is.""Well, do you want one?"It only gets hotter between them, believe me. Hope you enjoyed their first kiss, because I sure as hell loved writing it.
