Things are heating up in this installment of a full scene from The City War, my new novella from Riptide Press!

It was better, he thought, when they were face to face. He might have less leverage that way but he could feel the warm press of Cassius’s cock against his stomach, the hot wet rush when he came, the scratch of fingernails along his shoulders. But sometimes this was good too, with Cassius warm and sleepy, willing, his slight movements all Brutus needed as he thrust between his thighs, feeling the head of his erection brush up against the soft skin of Cassius’s balls. Small wonder the Greeks loved this; there was no feeling quite like it in the world. He spread kisses over Cassius’s shoulders, and Cassius reached out to cover his hands where they were braced on the bed, fingers caressing his knuckles.

He felt the low, tight curl of his orgasm building, the urgency of his thrusts grow more frantic. He bit down on Cassius’s shoulder, and when Cassius twisted a little and said, “Marcus,” he pulled back and pressed his cock to the swell of Cassius’s ass, coming all over his back. Cassius chuckled and stretched while Brutus panted through his release.

“Ten stripes for insubordination,” Cassius said, shameless, amused.

Oh my god all the things. No Saturday should be this insane.

I am going to be like...nonstop talking about this book for a week, but I did want to let people know that The City War is is doing a special pre-release weekend where if you "preorder" the e-book you get INSTANT GRATIFICATION in the form of the e-book being available immediately. And also you still get entered to win a Nook Simple Touch! AND if you shop direct at the Riptide Press website, as with most small presses, I get more of the revenue than if you shopped for it at, say, Amazon. Which is evil anyway, Amazon does not deserve your shiny dollars.

This is my Blog Tour week too, so come Monday I will be linking you to exciting new blogs where I will be talking about writing and history and all kinds of sexy things. It's gonna be fun! I'm not at all terrified of doing it wrong! :D (In all seriousness, the Riptide staff continue to be awesome about things like "Sam doesn't know what he's doing" and "Sam fears publicity which makes his choice of profession somewhat odd".)

I'm still working on the NaNo too but I haven't really written enough to be worthy of posting first-last-favourite lines. There's been a bit of a spanner in the works with some real-life drama surrounding the will which has killed my LOL I WILL WRITE ABOUT THIS spirit a bit. I kept feeling awful that I was portraying Lucky's sister-in-law as such a dreadful person in the novel but she has outstripped her fictional counterpart which takes some doing.

I have spent the remainder of the day immersed in fanfic and stupid movies. It seemed the thing to do.
