End of the Chapter

 

I appreciated every single one of the comments on yesterday's post. The encouragement sure helps.


That said, here's the end of Chapter Three of my smut novella, Murder at The Woods. Some Faithful Readers have sent in suggestions for edits. Those have not been applied...yet. They will be before I submit to the new publisher. 

(Blue is to get you oriented to where we left off. But you can read from the beginning, if you care to, by clicking the "novella" label.)

[This will be the first full night at Deven's cabin.]

“Enjoying yourself?”

“Parts,” I said taking a moment to glance down at his hard-on. If more fun with those parts was on the horizon, then absolutely.

“That’s what I wanted to hear.” Reaching over to gather a bead of clear semen from the tip of my cock onto a finger, he stuck it into his mouth and sucked. Then abruptly turned his attention to the bobbing and weaving and waving arms of the dance floor.

I sat there with my cock as stiff as the beams of the pergola. He had this selfish, devious smirk on his face; so pleased with himself. What the fuck. Did he just like seeing how aroused he could get me? Deven had never given any indication he would go any further than enjoying the effect of his labor, other than expecting favors in return.

My head pounded from the noise of the music and my upbeat attitude slipped to sullen weariness. I yawned, tapped him on the arm, and stabbed a thumb over my shoulder to indicate my imminent exit. He nodded, set his beer down, and we walked back to the cabin.

We no sooner closed the door on the chirping crickets and nightbirds than he grabbed my t-shirt by the hem, pulled me to him and lifted it over my head. Exhausted from the very long day, I wanted to flop down and sleep.

“Okay,” he said in a whisper and led me to the bed.

I rolled to my side, the position I always slept in. He curled himself up against me, his package nestled into the small of my back. He nuzzled my neck with soft, wet kisses. A moan escaped without permission as my cock grew hard. A hand found it and started a slow, gentle stroking up and down the shaft. His boner thrust against me to the same rhythm. I rolled to my back to grasp it and he pushed my hand away.

“No. Just enjoy this. You’ll sleep better,” he said, even though he stroked himself.

Well, why not? I’d read that lots of men liked jacking off with other guys and would even lend a hand. I let myself relax into it. He stroked me, massaged my balls, and fingers slid and pressed along the very root. I sensed the storm gathering, my hips undulated. My nuts pulled up, signaling the explosion.

I barely registered his change in position, but I sure noticed the mouth lower over my cock. His tongue tickled the underside of the head. I uttered “Oh, fuck.” as the eruption began. And he sucked until it subsided. He licked me clean. Tired as I was, I wrestled with returning the favor. He gently pushed my hand from his shaft, whispered, “Go to sleep.” and I drifted off.

I woke with filtered dawn light through gauze curtains and morning wood doing its best to hold the full bladder at bay. At least one foot had to be in open air or sleep escaped me. The sheet covering my torso tented at my crotch. I pushed it aside, and rushed to the tiny bathroom. My brain registered the urinal and let the stream loose despite the usual trouble pissing with a stiff dick.

The subsiding erection pointed the way back out to the room proper and an empty bed. I dug the sleep grit from my eyes, and wandered about looking for the shirt that Deven had pulled off me.

The door opened and his body cast a shadow over me. “What do you need?”

“Coffee and a shower. In that order.”

He held a cup aloft. “Black, I hope.”

“Thanks.” At that moment it didn’t matter, really. The stronger the better to help make sense of what was happening. He spends every weekend night with a different woman, but brings me here for sword play and sucks me off to boot? Okay, so maybe he was one of those mythical bisexual dudes one heard about. Maybe he was more fluid than I gave him credit for; able to masturbate together and, maybe, share a blow job.

The coffee had cooled during the time it took him to walk it from the Lodge, and I gulped it down. Weak-ish. I held the empty out to him and wanted more.

“Leave it on the table next to the couch. Come on, walk to the showers. They’re right next to the Lodge, you can grab another cup.”

“Towels?”

“You’re not very talkative first thing in the morning, are you?” He chuckled. “Tracy puts a whole stack of them on a shelf.”

I followed him, this time drinking in every luscious flex of his ass. My cock noticed. He noticed my cock.

The showers were under a tin roof. No walls, just a roof. Pipes grew out from the ground along the edge of the cement pad, running up to rain-style heads. Dim bulbs in protective metal fences shone from the peak. Shoulder to shoulder we stood under the spray. I tipped my head back to let warm water cascade over me. Almost heaven. A soapy hand wrapped around my erection and stroked.

Reaching over to reciprocate felt so good. Stroking a cock that wasn’t mine made for a delightful change of pace from the past several months. Okay, now it was heaven. Deven put his hands on my shoulders and pressed. An easy signal to follow, but he still added, “My turn.”

As mush as temptation bit at my brain to ask if he’d cum last night, I put my mouth to better use. And realized his “normal cut cock” got hard but not a lot larger, much to my preference. Having some monster, like the twins sported, rammed down my throat never did appeal to me. Being able to suck and lap at all four inches or so without straining, without worrying about a gag reflex? Yeah. I also appreciated the hairless shaft and ball sac. A hetero, well, sort-of hetero, man who believed in proper hygiene and grooming surprised me. Maybe he’d watched the original Queer Eye.

He stood on his toes, trying not to go over the edge when he pulled me off. “Not yet.”












Hope you enjoyed this little excerpt.

Enthusiastic


Channel-surfing yesterday, we landed on Midsommer Murders (?) on PBS. In the episode, a "historical romance writer's" publisher wants her to write more contemporary stuff. "They want more smut," she says, and she's just not down with it.


My friend who encouraged me to try my hand at writing smut has been researching publishers and sent along a couple of suggestions for submissions since his turned me down. I think he feels really bad about it. And I can't seem to get enthusiastic.



For some reason, I can't get enthusiastic about anything.
Today, my attitude seems to be: "Meh."









Maybe I'm tired of waiting for Summer.

Another Snippet

 

A couple people have asked for another snippet of the novella. Blue is the very end of Chapter 1 to get you oriented.

            I picked up my small overnight duffle and we went in. With the exception of a water closet with both a urinal and toilet, and small sink, it was one large room. A couch and two occasional chairs faced a flat screen tv on the wall. A stereo system sat on a table below the television. Hugging the back wall: a single king bed.

Chapter Two

Detective Belted Blue Jeans bored into me like I’d been up at the Woods for the past two weeks. “Your neighbor’s calendar has you up there with him. How long were you there?”

“Uh, yeah, I went with him. I mean, he drove, you know? I st— we stayed for a week. I had to get back to work. I work from home.”

“It would appear that everyone works from home these days. Well, everyone who doesn’t have to be tromping around the tri-state area trying to solve a murder.”

Murder? Deven had been murdered? My knees buckled. The detective’s instinctual reach missed due to the social distance required. I grabbed onto the low wall separating the properties. “Are you sure? I mean, Deven was a really decent guy, I think. He was neighborly, you know?”

“The coroner over there found his death suspicious and brought us in to help investigate. You never know what can turn up in a victim’s house.” He eyed me as if to make sure I got the point. “But while you were up there with him—you say the two of you returned after a week, I can verify that, you know.” More pointed eye contact. “But while you were there, was there anything that may have struck you odd? Did his behavior change at all?”

Hoo, brother. What a loaded question. In the three years he lived in the house next to me, he conducted himself like a master womanizer. So many different women. Every one of them stunning. I wondered what he had that attracted them. What do women even look for? A nice-looking guy with a tiny bit of a belly and little love handles, so it wasn’t his body though I liked the dad-bod look. It’s not like he packed a package, either. He possessed an…average cut cock.

The minute we entered the cabin and I noticed that one bed, doubts crept up for me. This was not going to go well, was it? I did the only thing I could think of to avoid an awkward bedtime or, worse, an immediate return to the city.

“I’ll take the couch. I mean, you paid for this, the bed should be yours.”

He looked at me like I had suddenly developed three heads. “Why? Are you afraid of sleeping in the same bed with a guy?”

“Uh, no. I just thought…you know.”

“What?”

“You, you know, you wouldn’t want….”

He laughed. “You don’t know me very well. But you will. Before the day is out, you will. I promise.”

I managed a smile. “Uh, okay. Cool.”

Still naked from when he stopped on the roadway, he headed for the door which hung open. “Now, drop the bag. And for fuck’s sake take the clothes off. Come on, I feel like going down to the lake.”

There seemed to be nothing else for it. I pulled the t-shirt off, popped the buttons on my pants and shed them, tossed everything on top of my bag and followed. It felt weird to be walking around in shoes and a mask but that’s how everyone was dressed. Or, undressed. Deven walked with such sheer confidence, a swagger, really. Waving to other guys as we passed them, it seemed he knew everyone by name. Well, why wouldn’t he if he made this an annual trip?

I had to admit he had gorgeous legs, like a dancer’s; long, and well-toned, well defined muscles. His ass flexing with every step he took I really didn’t want to catch up to walk alongside him. I also didn’t want him to notice the chub developing. But I didn’t want to creep him out, either, and did my best to act as if my cock was always like that, even though he probably knew better.

Just some random photos that might fit the prose.









Someone asked if I heard from the publisher yet. Nope. Their submission FAQs say it can take 4 to 6 weeks to get a response.

Much patience is needed to be a writer.

Have a wonderful weekend

I hope you are still intrigued enough to want more.
