“As a general rule, you won't find the love of your life while you're on your knees under a table." -- Helios Dayspring”
Belinda McBride, An Uncommon Whore

“That's new.” His gaze was hot and fierce.
“My cock? I'm fairly certain it's always been there.”
His grin flashed briefly. “No Lio, you've been cut. Circumcised.”
“Oh.” I stared at the smooth column of my shaft. “That must have hurt.”
Belinda McBride, An Uncommon Whore

“A whore is a whore is a whore.
Except when he's something else completely.

From the writings of King Helios Dayspring, High Priest of the Temple of the Sun”

Ingie Hi Belinda, thank you for your friend request. It maked me glad.
I'm now reading the lovely, and so tender, story about Blacque and Blue, which you probably saw. I like them both so much and keeping my fingers crossed that they will get together for ever and officially. Please say it will be a happy ending to the story.
Liking this first one read by me so much, I will surely read more of your books. (... already have two of the others in my book stack.)
Keep on writing nice and sweet books about men in big love.
