Blurb: Las Vegas isn't just a glamorous, glitzy playground for high rollers, Elvis impersonators, and blushing newlyweds. It's also a seedy, worn-out dumping ground for the lonely, the broken, and the lost. Eric Moss is one of those drifters, just marking time, until he meets two very different men, both of whom could change his life. Marc Evans is a rich casino owner. He offers Eric safety, security, and a chance to regain some of his ravaged past. Brad Torres is a garage mechanic. He offers Eric nothing at all. The choice might have been easy, if Eric weren't intensely attracted to both men. He has to choose between Sin City's sparkling lights and a life in the shadows-will he be able to live with his heart's decision?
Excerpt:
As Eric drifted back to consciousness he could feel someone touching him, firm hands stroking tenderly through his hair and tugging slightly through the ends. He sighed happily. "Nice," he murmured without opening his eyes.
"You feeling better?" Eric recognized the voice now and remembered that he wasn't floating peacefully in his apartment's tiny bathtub but was in some hot spring somewhere with Brad. He let one eye crack open and could see Brad sitting close to him in the hot pool.
"Almost human," Eric replied softly, wondering how long he had been asleep. Up close like this he was struck once again by the amazing beauty of Brad's face. It shouldn't be, as it was all angles and planes, but the very strength of the features lent to the man's appeal.
"That's good." Brad's head was close to his, their temples rubbing together, red and blond hair melding and spilling into the water to drift around them. "You need someone to look out for you, Eric."
"Do I?" Eric wasn't sure why he was whispering.
"You do," Brad affirmed as he closed the distance between them, one hand rising from the water to caress Eric's cheek as he brought their lips together.
There was just something about kissing another man, Eric thought through the haze of pleasure. It was different than kissing a woman, different and infinitely more arousing. Brad's lips were soft, but they were also firm and knew how to best coax a response from Eric.
Eric sighed, the breath leaving his lungs and mixing with Brad's as the other man invaded his mouth with a flickering tongue that seemed determined to seek out his deepest secrets. It seemed so long ago that he and Brad had first kissed. Even then Eric had been drunk and unsure of his memories.
This was definitely worth remembering.
Eric turned his body toward Brad. The sound of the water sloshed around them, faint and distant beneath the thrumming pulse of his blood as it raced to his groin. Either he was used to the heat, or he was going to risk scalding a vital part of his anatomy. Perhaps it was simply that the feel of Brad's skin under his wet hands was hotter than the water or that the feeling of being alive for the first time in days was worth the risk.
The kiss deepened as one of Brad's hands traveled behind Eric's head and the other down onto his lower back to pull their bodies flush. Eric groaned at the sensation and rubbed his stiffening cock against Brad, seeking friction through the liquid that surrounded them, only to slide off the firm, wet muscles.
Brad's hand moved down under Eric's ass, cupping his cheek and easily lifting him, the mineral salts in the water aiding Eric's buoyancy. He grunted as Eric responded eagerly, wrapping his legs around Brad's waist and letting Brad's erection rub against the underside of his balls.
"Oh God," Eric groaned again, their lips still mashed together in what had become a sloppy and energy-stealing kiss. He rested his arms on Brad's shoulders and let his legs slide down, trapping Brad's cock between his thighs and squeezing when he felt the instinctive thrust forward from Brad in response.
"Is this what you want?" Brad gasped as he broke the kiss, his face buried in Eric's neck as he panted and trembled in Eric's arms with the tension of holding back.
"Hell, yeah," Eric grunted into Brad's ear. "Give it up for me."
"Squeeze tighter." Brad ran his hands down to Eric's hips, tightening his grip as he thrust deep between the strong thigh muscles, pulling Eric toward him at the same time. "Oh God."
They were anchored in one of the corners of the pool; Brad tucked into the vee with Eric's body weight holding him pressed against the cement. They kissed again, deep, devouring kisses as they grunted and groaned into each other's mouths.
Hips rocked and ground together while the water splashed around them. Eric worked at tensing his thighs, feeling the smooth heat of Brad, hotter than the water, hotter than fire, as he slid back and forth against the soft and secret skin high up and between Eric's legs.
"Now. Touch me now!" Brad's fingers dug deep into Eric's skin, bruising with the intensity of the hold like he was afraid if he let go, Eric would slip away in the water and leave him hanging on the edge. Eric reached down between his legs and took hold of Brad firmly, squeezing the head so that when Brad came with a muttered curse the creamy fluid coated Eric's hand under the water.
Brad sagged against the corner of the pool, fingers reaching up to stroke Eric's hair and tangle his fingers in the silky wet strands. Even as he panted and murmured Eric's name, Eric was coming. He released Brad's cock and stripped his own with hard, brutally short strokes that were all he needed to bring himself off as well.
Eric felt drained and let his forehead rest against Brad's as the two of them floated together without words.
