STORY EXCERPT

“Depends.” Noel glanced up at his friend. “What is Avery going to try and make this time? Emphases on try.”

Since coming to live in Silver Creek Noel had made some really good friends. The shifters here were part of the Nehalem Pack and they were really good people, almost too good. It was strange Noel wasn’t used to living in a pack setting quite like this. Henry wasn’t a dictator or anything but Devon, the pack alpha, was so laid back and everyone had a voice. Devon’s final say wasn’t law. They truly were like one large extended family.

Noel had grown really close with his cousins, Jayme and Samuel. They treated him like a little brother and to be honest Noel loved it. After Henry died he thought he’d be alone but he wasn’t. He had this large family that took him and made him feel like part of the group.

Landen and his mate Avery were his closes friends in town. They spent a lot of time together. They were all close in age and Avery and he had the whole little brother syndrome going for them. Avery’s brother Will at times forgot that Avery was in fact an adult with a loving and caring mate and treated him like he was a clueless teenager. Noel had heard from Avery all about his past and the bad choices he’d made along the way but Avery seemed to be making up for his wrong doings but it looked like it was little hard for Will to let go and let his baby brother grow up.

Now Jayme and Samuel were very nice, overly nice in fact. But they did tend to want to coddle him at times. He knew they felt bad for his mother selling him as a child but Noel tried to explain to them several times that that had been the best thing to ever happen to him. Henry took him and gave him a loving home and everything he ever wanted. His childhood had been good.

“Chicken parmesan,” Landen winced as he said it.

“Uh, no, I think I’m good. Thanks anyway.” Noel fought back a smile. He loved his friends he really did but he didn’t feel like getting food poisoning from undercooked chicken. Just the thought of under cook pasta noodles and Avery’s bland attempt of tomato sauce didn’t sound to appetizing.

“Dude, come on.” Landen put his hands together in a pleading gesture. “Don’t leave me hanging on this one.”

“Landen I nearly broke a tooth on Avery’s attempt at roast beef.” Noel shook his head. “I’m still trying to figure out what he did to that piece of meat.”

“I think it’s better we don’t know.” Landen chuckled.

The sound of Noel’s alarm going off on his watch had him jumping to his feet. He ignored whatever it was Landen was whining about and headed over to the front of the store to look out the glass windows that ran the length of his store.

Just like clockwork for the past month tall dark and sexy came running down the sidewalk. Dark black hair, deep brown eyes and tan skin that ran from the top of his beautiful head down to his shoe covered toes. Sweat clung to his short hair to stream down his chiseled face. Today he work an old and torn gray tank top ripped clear down the sides exposing his six pack abs with every sway of his shirt. Noel’s mouth fell open a little as his eyes took in the white gym shorts he was wearing. He’d swear on his life he could see tall dark and sexy’s cock swinging like a pendulum back and forth. His mouth started to water.

“What the hell are you doing?” Landen asked from behind him.

Noel just shook his head. Words escaped him at the moment. All his focus was on that gorgeous ass until it was out of sight. This man had been Noel’s torture for the past month. Every day at four o’clock he ran past Noel’s store. He always had a look of concentration on his face, lips in a straight line, and eyes focused forward. He never seemed to look a bit tired as he ran past.

“That man is to good looking for his own good,” Noel mumbled to himself.

“Huh?” Landen pushed past him to look out the window. He started to laugh. “Oh my gosh.” He brought his balled up fist to his lips as he continued to laugh.

“What is so funny?” Noel leaned to the side to see if he could catch another look the vision of sex on a stick but he was gone.

“I know that guy.”

“What?” Noel spun around so fast he knocked over a display of children’s books he’d set up earlier. “Who is he?”

Landen stopped laughing and turned his full gaze onto Noel. The corner of his mouth tilted up at the corner in a smirk. Noel didn’t like that look on his friend’s face.

“I’ll tell you what. If you agree to come to dinner tonight I’ll tell you and even introduce you to him.” Landen held out his hand. “What do you say?”

Noel glanced out the window one more time then back to his friend’s hand. He really wanted to avoid another one of Avery’s attempts at cooking but he also really wanted to know who his mystery man was. Something about the guy made Noel’s heart skip a beat. So in the end he really didn’t have any option.

“Deal but if I die from your mate’s cooking before I get to meet him.” Noel pointed out the window. “I will haunt you until the day you die.”

“I wouldn’t expect anything less.”

ADULT EXCERPT

“What’s wrong?” Noel cupped his hands to the sides of Beau’s cheeks and stared into his eyes.

Beau found himself leaning closer, getting lost in the soulful dark eyes. Noel’s pupils were so dilated he could only see a navy blue ring around them indicating that Noel had blue eyes. Beau glanced down at Noel’s tongue slipped out to wet his upper lip. Beau followed the moist pink tongue and hungered to have it in his mouth again.

“Nothing.” He nipped at Noel’s lower lip. The responsible thing to do was to stop this now. Take things slow that is what Beau should have done but he couldn’t make himself say the words. He wanted Noel with a need he never felt before. His body felt on fire with desire and the only thing that couldn’t extinguish the blaze was Noel. “I want you so badly,” he whispered against Noel’s lips as he leaned into for another passionate kiss.

“I want you too.” Noel fisted his hands in Beau’s hair and pulled him closer, tilting Beau’s head for a deeper kiss.

Beau tightened his grip on Noel’s waist and stood up. Noel instantly reacted by wrapping his legs around Beau’s waist aligning their hard shafts against one another. Beau groaned and Noel whimpered. Beau held him close and made his way back into the house, bumping counter tops and walls as he made his way to his bedroom. Finally in his room he tumbled to the bed with Noel underneath him. They both laughed as they tore at each other's clothes. Noel made him feel young, like a teenager having sex for the first time. Hands fumbled and wet sloppy kisses were given until they both lay completely naked. Warm skin against warm skin.

Beau tucked his face into the crook of Noel’s neck where his shoulder and neck met and kissed and sucked along the salty sweet flesh. Noel arched up into his touch, begging for more. Things were moving fast but Beau couldn’t stop. It was as if he and Noel fed off each other’s energy and they needed this to survive.

Beau shifted to the side and trailed his hand down the center of Noel’s lithe body. He stopped to tease his left nipple then moved to the right. Noel moaned his pleasure and his hips jerked up off the bed seeking release. Beau smiled as he followed his hand down Noel’s chest licking a path to the thick shaft jutting out from a well-trimmed thatch of dark curls.

Noel groaned and let his knees fall to the sides as Beau positioned himself between his thighs. Beau gripped Noel’s cock in a loose fist and ran his hand up and down the throbbing length. He rubbed his palm over the weeping tip then lowered his head to tease his tongue into the small slit on the crown. Tangy sweetness cascaded over his taste buds and he hummed in delight as he sucked the entire head into his mouth.

“Beau,” Noel shouted as he shook underneath Beau’s hands.

Beau smiled around Noel’s length then took him deeper. He curled his tongue to flick under the flared head then traced the thick veins running the length of Noel’s shaft. When Noel prodded at his throat Beau swallowed around the thickness pulling sweet sounds of ecstasy from his lover.

Slowly Beau made his way back up Noel’s cock and kissed his way down his inner thing until he sucked one then then the other ball into his mouth. Spit dribbled out of the corners of his mouth and Beau used it to paint over Noel’s tiny rippled entrance. Noel’s body shook as Beau circled the hole then gently applied pressure letting his finger seep into Noel’s scolding heat.

“God, you feel so good,” Beau said. He pushed up on the back of Noel’s thigh to arch his bottom up more into the air. With Noel in the right position Beau leaned in and stuck his tongue out, sweeping over Noel’s hole and wetting his finger to sink in deeper. He then pressed his tongue in alongside his finger. The need to taste and touch every part of Noel drove Beau wild. He never felt so out of control before.

“Come on, Beau, fuck me.” Noel panted as he tried to push his leg back down. “I need you inside me.”

Beau slipped in another finger and pulled his mouth away from Noel’s back door. He glanced up at the man and met his heated stare. Noel was in desperate need. Beau’s own neglected cock pulsed painfully reminding him it to needed some relief.

Sitting up, he reached for his night stand. The stretch was too far so he had to pull his hand free of Noel’s ass. His fingers felt cold and numb without Noel’s burning heat.

“Come on.” Beau snapped to himself. “Where is it?” As if by miracle the items he needed appeared. He grabbed a length of condoms and lube. He thanked the heavens the expiration date on the condoms hadn’t come to pass just yet.

Beau put one of the foil packages to his mouth and tore it open with his teeth. Noel laid breathing heavily as he watched Beau get ready. He damn near came then and there as he rolled the condom down his over sensitized length. He hissed in another breath as he rubbed the slick lube over his dick. Scooted forward he held his cock up and toward Noel’s quivering hole. He glanced up to meet Noel’s gaze.

“I’m ready.” Noel smiled and nodded his head.

Slowly Beau pushed forward. Only a small resistance met his attempt to gain entrance then just like that Noel’s body sucked him inside. Noel’s head fell back to the pillows and his back arched. Noel’s thin muscular legs wounded around Beau’s hips and tugged him forward.
