Every Thursday a group of talented writers share a sample of their awesome writing here. Check them out!


This week I thought I'd share another taste from my wip...

"What exactly are we looking for?" Cole led the way down to the basement, using the flashlight to guide their path. 

Ed could adopt his animal side to better see in the dark, he was sure Cole could too, but the yellow glow saved them the effort of shifting.

"The main electric supply, the distribution board, the isolator switch – anywhere there could be a fault. I don't smell anything burning so it's probably just a blown fuse or something." Ed could barely make out the panel beyond Cole's massive frame. When he came to a standstill in the corner of the room, Ed almost collided with him.

"Well, if there'd been a fire the sprinklers would've come on." Cole swung the torch around and Ed had to shield his eyes.

"Can you quit trying to blind me?"

"Sorry." Cole tilted the flashlight up so it underlit his handsome, smiling face.

"I just need to get at the box behind your shoulder." There wasn't room to swap places, so Ed had to squeeze past the muscle mountain. For one heart stopping moment, the only sound was the heart of the hotel whirring around them.

Thigh brushed against thigh. Hot breath mingled with hot breath as they came face to face.

So this was the animal magnetism that everyone found so irresistible? Ed was beginning to get it as he was pulled into that vortex of insta-lust, keen to find out what all the fuss was about.

It was a simultaneous decision to act on the attraction as they launched at each other. There was no tenderness or finesse as their mouths clashed together. This was a blatant display of naked passion.

Cole dropped the flashlight on the floor and clamped his hand around the back of Ed's neck, drawing him deeper into the savage kiss. They wrapped their tongues around each other in exploration, and Ed soon developed a taste for the exotic hunk of masculinity fighting him for dominance. He was hard in seconds, Cole too, as steel pressed against steel in the dark.

So much for the dull weekend he'd anticipated. Less than twenty-four hours in and he was already on his way to conquest number two.
