Blurb:
Jack is on the verge of silent film stardom, but Hollywood glory won’t heal his broken heart. Then the seductive screen idol—Roman Pasquale—sweeps Jack away, and makes him his own. Will Roman’s obsessive love finally bring Jack true happiness? Jack is devastated by the loss of Nick, his best friend and lover. His only other friend, new Hollywood star Trixie Fox, comes to his rescue. What he doesn’t know, is that she’s also helping Roman Pasquale in his carefully planned seduction of the shy and innocent Jack. Suave film screen idol—Roman Pasquale—has been obsessed with Jack Stone from the moment he spotted him at a Global Studios party. He will stop at nothing until the golden-haired young man belongs to him. An expert at getting what he wants, Roman plans every wicked word, look and move to bring him closer to achieving his prize. Jack is on the brink of stardom, and can’t believe that his movie star crush, Roman Pasquale, is taking an interest in him. But he resists the older, more sophisticated man’s attempts at seducing him. After all, he still loves Nick, and just isn’t ready to try again with anyone else. But when Roman turns on the charm, Jack is tempted. Can Roman replace Nick in Jack’s heart? Or is the magical world of the great Roman Pasquale all an illusion?
Jack didn’t even bother taking the
menu. He knew Roman would order and, truthfully, he didn’t care one bit what
they ate anyway. Even if he had to beg Roman to make love to him, it was going
to happen that night. There was a sense of freedom as soon as the thought hit
him. It was okay. He could be with Roman, and it would all be wonderful. He
could feel it.
“They are bringing us both Crab Louie salads. I thought we might not want
to eat anything too heavy this evening.”
Roman paused, seeming to gauge Jack’s
reaction.
“I agree.”
Roman’s mouth curled into a
seductive smile and Jack knew it wouldn’t be long.
“I asked them to add avocado to
yours. I know how you like it.”
“Thank you, Roman. You always seem
to know what I want.”
“Do I? Hmm. I wonder what it is that
you might be wanting right now.”
Jack swallowed. “You.”
Roman adjusted himself in the booth.
He gave Jack another smile, and waved his hand in the air. The waiter appeared
immediately.
“Cheque, please.”
That seemed to confuse the server.
“Sir?”
“The cheque. Now. You may box up the
salads and give them to my driver.”
The waiter left, shaking his head.
Roman moved in closer to Jack.
“Shall we?”
“Yes. We shall.”
“Then I am the happiest man alive.”
Jack left it at that. Anything else
he might try to say could ruin the moment. And he wanted this moment to stay
forever in his heart as potent and alive as it felt right then.
Jack wasn’t sure how he made it back
out to the car, but he was aware of the cooling night air, and how well Juan
kept his expression blank. It most likely was a skill he had learned from
working for the great Roman Pasquale for so long. Jack waited for Juan to open
the back door this time. He was getting the hang of the whole movie star thing.
It still seemed silly in a lot of ways, but it wasn’t bad. After all, if it
meant Juan had a good job, then he supposed it was worth it.
As soon as they were both seated and
the car drove out of the parking lot, Jack could feel the tension and heat
between them. He looked shyly over at Roman. There was such a look of
anticipation on Roman’s face as he considered Jack, that he didn’t know how
they would be able to contain themselves for the ride home. Touching was out of
the question.
“Only twenty minutes more, Jack
Stone.”
Jack’s breath hitched in his throat.
It was impossible for him to speak.
The ride took what amounted to
forever for Jack, and as they passed through the elaborate wrought iron gates
and up the driveway past the marble fountain, tears stung Jack’s eyes. It was all too much. The last
time he had been there, all that had happened since then, and now…
As soon as the vehicle came to a
halt on the gravel driveway right next to the front steps, panic rose inside
Jack.
Roman gently touched his shoulder.
“Jack?”
He gulped in mouthfuls of air and
gripped the edge of the back seat of the Hudson.
He heard Roman say something to Juan
about leaving the car for later, and Jack was relieved that Juan had left. He
just wanted to be completely alone with Roman. He laughed. That was the exact
opposite of the way he’d felt a while before.
Roman slid in the seat next to Jack,
put an arm around his shoulders and drew him close.
“Jack. If you’re not ready…”
Jack turned in Roman’s embrace,
threw his arms about Roman’s neck and kissed him hard on the lips. He thrust
his tongue in Roman’s mouth, aching to taste him there, and everywhere. Roman
yanked Jack onto his lap, and battled him for dominance. They grasped and clung
to one another in the raw hunger of denial. Roman clutched the greased strands
of Jack’s hair, and held him fast in the ferocious kiss.
Jack struggled to get as close as he
could to Roman, and was finally able to straddle him. Their dress clothes
tangled between them, the soft fabrics sliding into bunches, creating
frustrating barriers. Jack ground his erection into Roman’s abdomen, his
swollen ball sacs rubbing against Roman’s impressive hardness as he rocked back
and forth.
Roman broke the kiss and bit the
side of Jack’s neck. It was just enough to simultaneously hurt and drive him
wild. Roman licked the spot he’d nipped with long slow caresses of his tongue.
Cum dripped from Jack’s tip, and he knew he couldn’t last. Still Roman lapped
at his neck, nibbled at the sensitive crook and moved to his throat, licking
his way up to Jack’s chin.
“Oh, Roman, I need you. I need you
inside me.”
Roman stopped his journey. He pulled
Jack’s head back by his hair. His eyes were even darker than Jack remembered.
“Then you shall have what you want.
But not here.”
M/M Erotic Romance author Morticia Knight enjoys a good saucy tale – after
all, who doesn’t? Since she loves several genres, you may find your heroes in a
contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi setting. One of her passions is
bringing people's fantasies to life on the page, because life is too short for
even one boring moment. Her stories are volcanic in heat, deep in emotion, and
sprinkled with doses of humor.
When not indulging in her obsession for books, she loves the outdoors, film and music. The Pacific Northwest is the ideal spot to enjoy both hiking and beachcombing. Once upon a time she was the singer in an indie rock band that toured the West Coast and charted on U.S. college radio. She now resides on the northern coast of Oregon, where the constant rain and fog remind her of visits to family in England and Scotland when she was a child.
She is currently working on the Gin & Jazz series about the glitz and glamour of 1920’s Hollywood – with more naughtiness to follow in 2014.
