This week’s sexy smutty scene is from Tigers and Devils by Sean Kennedy. I think I’ll read this for this month’s DIK Challenge review, but I still haven’t decided. I might still pick Caught Running by Madeleine Urban & Abigail Roux or True of Heart by M.L.Rhodes or I Spy Something Bloody by Josh Lanyon. All are M/M reads that are on DIK’s reading list.
At the moment I’m reading a cute, sweet anthology about Nascar racing which is not erotic at all, so I hope to pick the hottest of the above titles! Any advice is welcome ;)
The next (not too) smuttalicious M/M scene is from page 140:
“
But then I saw him staring back at me. And saw that he wanted me. There was an unmistakable hunger in his eyes, and he was eyeing me appreciatively. I didn't really understand it, and it didn't settle my insecurities completely but I managed to get over that bump in the road.
Without speaking we rose as one and stumbled out of the dining room, through the lounge, and paused as Declan realised he didn't know where the bedroom was. I took the initiative and pulled him with me, still clutching him.
We sagged against the bookcase in my room; Declan's hands were starting to pull my shirt up my body, but I pressed against him, inhibiting his actions. This time it had nothing to do with the insecurity of being naked before him. I was now desperate, close to the edge, and unable to hold on much longer. He gasped as I ground against him, searching for friction. I found it, and his gasp turned into a guttural moan as I locked into him and began getting us off.
"Simon..." he moaned, and I liked hearing my name said that way.
I pulled his lower lip between my own and then released it to lick along the side of his neck. I let my mouth rest against the hollow of his throat; Declan threw his head back. His hands came to rest on my arse as he helped me continue to thrust against him.
Declan swore to himself, his breathing becoming more hoarse. I raised my head again, I wanted to see his face when he came. He bit his lip, and closed his eyes; I kissed him, and they flew back open. His breath erupted from him in a hot rush into my mouth, and he sagged against me. I bucked against him slowly, letting him ride out his release. As he sighed contentedly and his breathing steadied, I kept eye contact with him and started thrusting again. He held me tighter, his eyes never off me until I cried out and fell against him. He continued to hold me, and his hands travelled up my back, rubbing softly. I buried my head in the crook of his neck as post-orgasmic bliss gave way quickly to Oh fuck, what have I done?
We didn't speak. The only sound in the room was both of us breathing heavily; we leaned against each other, sweating and dishevelled, unwilling to let go. Waiting for a second round.

Backblurb:
Football, friends, and film are the most important parts of Simon Murray's life, likely in that order. Despite being lonely, Simon is cautious about looking for more, and his best friends despair of him ever finding that special someone to share his life. Against his will, they drag him to a party, where Simon barges into a football conversation and ends up defending the honour of star forward Declan Tyler -- unaware that the athlete is present and listening. Like his entire family, Simon revels in living in Melbourne, Victoria, the home of Australian Rules football and mecca for serious fans. There, players are deemed gods and treated as such - until they do something to cause them to fall out of public favour. Declan is suffering a horrendous year of injuries, and the public is taking him to task for it, so Simon's support is a bright spot in his struggles. In that first awkward meeting, neither man has any idea they will change each other's lives forever. As Simon and Declan fumble toward building a relationship together, there is yet another obstacle in their way: keeping Declan's homosexuality a secret amidst the intrusion of well-meaning friends and an increasingly suspicious media. They realise that nothing remains hidden forever... and they know the situation will only become more complicated when Declan's private life is revealed. Declan will be forced to make some tough choices that may result in losing either the career he loves or the man he wants. And Simon has never been known to make things easy - for himself or for others.

Am I missing the pic of Monday's Hot Couple, you know that is my monday visual crack right!! And the smutty scene is nice...verra nice *wink*
ReplyDeleteI'm all for hot sex against the books. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that book. Although I'd be afraid my bookcase would topple over. That puts such a damper on things. LOL Nice steamy start to the morning.
ReplyDeleteYou smutty gal :)
ReplyDeleteNascar book, oh that harlequin series? is it interesting?
I loved Tigers and Devils. It's one of my favorites of 2009.
ReplyDeleteMy bookcases would definitely topple over! Heh. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteI think Caught Running might be the steamiest of the titles you listed, although I can't remember about the ML Rhodes!
@Leontine: I don't know how I could forget the pic!! Glad somebody is awake this Monday :) Thanks for the reminder, hon! I rectified it :)
ReplyDelete@Katiebabs: *g* it's the best of two worlds, isn't it? :)
@Tam: Lol, falling books can hurt, yep! But I love it that they don't seem to care :)
ReplyDelete@Blodeuedd: :D that's me!
Well, the stories of 'Racing Hearts' are short and cute, but a bit unbelievable and over the top. Like when the h/h only brushed their lips in a brother/sisterly kiss, the heroine is thinking that he's the best kisser she ever knew! Duhuh! It's a sweet, quick read though...
@Lily: That sounds really good :)
ReplyDelete@Chris: Lol, you're that wild, huh ;)
Maybe I'll start with Caught Running then, I better read a little bit in that one too... before deciding :)
Not so wild as so lazy... I never installed the anchors to secure the bookcases to the wall! :)
ReplyDeleteLol, that would be my problem too. I'm not only lazy like that but also not very handy with tools ;)
ReplyDeleteNow that is my visual crack...my monday is complete again *grin*
ReplyDeleteOhh great excerpt. *adds book to ever growing to buy list*
ReplyDeleteI will put my hat in the ring for Caught Running. It was a great book. I loved it.
Very nice pic and scene, great way to start a busy week!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoa I need to hose myself after that sexy scene. I can't wait for your full thoughts on this one.
ReplyDeleteI love Tigers and Devil.... I didn't even review it, it is such a wonderful book..
ReplyDeleteAnything by Urban and Roux is winner to go with...
Happy day hon...
E.H>
@Leontine: Glad to be your crack dealer :)
ReplyDelete@Sayuri: *grin* the ever growing to buy list is almost as bad as the ever growing to read pile ;)
That's two votes for Caught Running then, thanks :)
@Marissa: It is, isn't it? Good luck with the busy schedule, hon :)
@KC: lol, I hoped you could tell me what you thought of it :) Another vote for Tigers and Devils then :)
ReplyDelete@EH: Hmmm, sounds like a photo finish, I'm not sure which of two the winner is :)
Happy day to you too honey!
You are my smut crack honey!! That is all I can say! LMBO!!!! Love ya for it too!!! Hope all is well!!!
ReplyDelete@Cecile: Lol, I get you your regular fix on Mondays, don't worry :) I hope everything is well with you too, since it's been so quiet in my email inbox ;) I hope you're not drowning in the numbers and digits!
