Blurb:
Finn has been fighting his feelings for his trainer Raven since arriving at the Sons of Thanatus compound. Raven is attractive, strong, and completely unattainable. On the night of their friends Josh and Madden’s wedding, Raven finally gives Finn a clear sign that he, too, is interested. The night is heavenly until Finn realizes Raven’s feelings for him are only casual.
Left feeling used, Finn tries to ignore his still growing attraction to Raven. The men must work together on a mission to recruit a member of Finn’s old unit, and sharing his body with a man who wants only a bed buddy is breaking his heart.
When Raven’s cold treatment of him hits a new low, Finn is crushed, and he decides he and Raven need a clean—and final—break. Will Raven let him go, or will his facade finally crumble in the face of Finn’s departure?


STORY EXCERPT

“Finn, dance with me, big guy,” Josh said as he took my hand. I looked at Madden with wide eyes, and the jerk just laughed, giving me a nod that it was fine with him. So much for hoping it wasn’t polite to take the groom from the groom at a wedding.
As we started moving, I realized what the little sneak had been doing. “Thanks, Shortie.”
“I don’t know what you’re speaking of,” he replied as he batted those long eyelashes at me playfully. Then he stopped as if realizing what I’d called him. Sure enough, he smacked me in the chest. “And I’m not short!”
“Vertically challenged?”
“Oh, blow me!”
“Um, no, you have a hubby for that now,” I teased, feeling much better that we weren’t in the group. Plus, Josh was a wicked dancer, and I couldn’t remember I’d actually been the one dancing instead of just watching. But since I worked at a gay leather-and-chains bar until Madden and Josh found me six weeks ago, it made sense I didn’t get to have the fun. I worked security. Not who people rush to try and dance with at most clubs.
I started to really let loose when I saw Madden and the man of my dreams leaning in to each other, whispering. And then I stumbled when Raven shoved Madden, ready to jump in. But then I realized they were just playing around.
“He’ll pull his head out of his ass eventually,” Josh said gently as he grabbed my arm to make my stumble seem as if he’d been in my way.
I probably should have acknowledged his comment or played dumb and asked who he meant. But it was Josh’s wedding reception. It wasn’t the time for my aching heart. “So most everyone got you guys some fun toys. Word leaked out into your kinky-ass activities.”
“Really?” he exclaimed. “Sweet!”
“Yup,” I answered, glancing over at the man I’d love to get kinky with. As if Raven knew my thoughts, he chose that moment to look at me and lick his lips. Fuck! I was a goner. One glance from him and I was ready to cream in my cargos. And then I realized he was coming over here. “What do I do?”
“Play it cool,” Josh answered as he took my hand and had me spinning him. Just as he finished, Raven tapped Josh on the shoulder.
“Mind if I cut in? Your husband needs a little TLC,” Raven said calmly as he looked at me with heat in his eyes.
“Of course,” he replied, giving me a quick wink. “Maybe we’ll play with some of our presents.”
“Just pace yourself, Shortie.” I chuckled and patted his shoulder.
“No promises!” he yelled before racing over to Madden and leaping into his arms. I smiled. They deserved to be happy.
“Do you have a thing for Josh?” Raven growled as he stepped closer. “I heard you kissed him.”
“Josh isn’t my type,” I answered firmly, taking the leap and making sure he knew exactly what I was implying. “I did it to help Madden pull his head out of his ass. Josh is just my buddy. He’s sweet and makes sure I’m okay, always like a good friend.”
“Why wouldn’t you be okay?” He raised an eyebrow as if confused… not concerned. If he had sounded concerned, I might have answered, but he wasn’t, so I wouldn’t. Instead, I shrugged and stepped away from him, about to leave. The party was over for me. Raven reached out lightning-quick and grabbed my wrist. “I thought we were dancing?”
“I thought you came over here to tell me to stay away from Josh,” I answered as I gave in and stepped closer to his firm body. As confused as I was to his sudden notice of me outside of a professional capacity, I wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity to touch him. Raven was stunning, six-two, nicely built, and well-toned. But since I was six-eight, his head reached my shoulder.
“I thought we should talk about our trip,” he said as he moved one of his thighs in between mine. “We were supposed to leave at the beginning of next week, but the Patriarch likes the idea of looking into those tracking chips when we’re out on assignment. So if you think you can swing it with your contacts, we’re leaving in a few days.”
“You don’t have to dance with me to talk business,” I replied as what he was saying sunk in. I started to push away as he slid one hand up my chest and around my neck while moving the other to my hip.
“I’m not here for that,” he said huskily when my hard cock brushed his stomach. “Yes, we need to talk some business, about your contacts and your Marine friends in Iraq we’re going to see, but that’s not why I came over to you and asked to dance.”
He had really asked Josh if he could cut in, not asked me if I wanted to dance. But he was in my arms where I wanted him, so why split hairs? I moved my hands slowly from his arms, down his ribs, past his stomach to his lower back, my fingers grazing the top of his firm ass.
“How does a man with blond hair get the name Raven?” I replied, leaning in much closer than I needed to so he could hear me over the music. His bright blue eyes sparkled with mirth as he licked his lips.
“I was born with a full head of black hair, so my mother thought it was fitting. A few months later, it turned blond, so the joke was on me.”
“I like you as a blond,” I purred as I reached up with one hand to run my fingers through it.


ADULT EXCERPT

“Yeah, let’s go fuck in your room,” he groaned.
Well, that was easy! I stood there shocked for a moment before I realized he was tugging on my arm. I let him lead me out of the ballroom, catching Josh’s wink and gesture to call him with details. Dork.
I hurried and unlocked my door when we got to my room, standing aside for Raven to go first. Once inside and the door locked behind us, I watched in awe as Raven quickly stripped.
“Are you just going to stand there, or are we going to fuck?” he asked as he stopped getting naked and eyed me over with his hands on his hips, looking annoyed. I snapped out of my stunned stupor and yanked off my shirt. “Better. Hurry up and get on the bed on your hands and knees. Are your supplies in the nightstand?”
“Um, yeah,” I answered, shocked at how fast he was going. By the time he retrieved my well-used, small bottle of lube, I was naked and crawling onto the bed.
“Been getting a lot of action since you got here?” Raven asked as he tossed the lube by my knee. I couldn’t see his face, but his tone didn’t sound like he approved of the idea.
“No.” I laughed at the idea of me being a slut. “You’re the first person since I’ve been here. Actually, you’re the first person besides me to touch that bottle. I like to play with my ass when I jerk off.”
“Good to know.” I heard him taking off his belt and then his slacks as I started to shake with anticipation. He knelt on the bed when he was naked, and I glanced over my shoulder so I could at least get a glimpse of him naked. “Spread your legs.”
I did as he asked, shivering when I saw him pick back up the bottle and slick up his fingers and then his cock. Moaning as his fingers rubbed my hole, I leaned forward on my arms. I knew I looked like a wanton slut presenting my ass to him like that. But I didn’t care. I wanted Raven from the moment I saw him.
“Oh, you like that, do you?” He grunted as he pushed in a finger. “I love a nice firm ass begging to be fucked.”
I didn’t answer since it seemed to be a rhetorical question. Instead, I simply felt the rush of sensation he was stirring in my body. While I’d told him the truth that I hadn’t been with anyone since I came to Miami with them, I left out the detail that it had been much longer for me than that. It took me a moment to think of the last time I’d had sex. When I realized it had been over a year, I didn’t feel so bad for hopping right into bed with him.
“Look how pretty your hole is.” He purred as he pushed in a second finger. “It’s almost begging me to take it.”
“Okay,” I groaned, not sure what else to say. Hell, if he was happy, that meant I was about to be very happy. I wasn’t sure why he was giving me a commentary, but to each his own.
He quickly stretched me out, rushing a little as he slid in a third, then fourth finger. I was so on the edge of losing control, I didn’t mind some rough play. The next thing I knew he was pulling his fingers back out, which got a whimper from me.
“Gonna fuck you now, don’t worry,” he said as he pushed his cock against my hole. Before I could say anything, he thrust hard into me, bottoming out in one shot. “Oh yeah, your ass is as good as I thought it would be. Bet you’re loving a hard cock shoved in you.”
Again, I wasn’t sure what to say, so I decided to just enjoy finally being with him. He started hard and fast, no preamble or foreplay. I found that odd but then decided he was probably too excited for us to be together to have worried about the niceties. Next time I’m sure there would be some tenderness.
“This ass was made for fucking,” Raven grunted as he slammed back into me. “How many men have enjoyed this ass? I bet lots, with an ass this great.”
Not really, but okay then. Maybe he just got off on talking dirty? I pushed back so I met him thrust for thrust. Raven had a huge slab of meat, because I’d never felt this full during sex before. I loved it. We didn’t say anything for a while, listening to the erotic song of our bodies. He was fucking me within an inch of my life, setting a punishing pace that barely left me enough time to gasp for air before he slammed back into me.
“Can’t hold out any longer,” Raven moaned as he grabbed my cock roughly. “Come now.”
“Almost,” I gasped as I moved my hips faster, fucking his hand.
“I said now,” he growled.
I don’t know if it was the demand for me to find my release or the growl that set me off, but set me off it did. I hollered as I shot my load, lights flashing behind my eyes at the intensity.
“Yeah, this ass was meant to be fucked good,” Raven groaned before going stiff. Then his cock exploded in my ass. I gasped at the sensations of feeling a partner’s seed for the first time. I hadn’t known before this that I was immortal and couldn’t catch diseases, so I’d always made my partner wear condoms. As soon as we were both spent, I collapsed on the bed, and Raven pulled right out of me. “You liked that, baby?”
“Of course,” I panted as I tried to get more air in my lungs.
