Boots, hats,
Wranglers, and balls of steel required…only the fearless need apply.
The XYZ Ranch
is scouting for the best of the best, so saddle up, this ride will get rough in
the saddle.
Last summer I
happened upon the Love Has No Boundaries event. The premise was for readers to
post a picture and a promt for a story they’d love to read. I flipped through
countless entries, each met with, “No, no,” and, “Not for me.” The I stumbled
across this pic:
The
reader wrote: Dear Author, these two guys
were childhood friends. They tried to hide their relationship in the rodeo but
they got caught so they ran away. That is when they found the gay rodeo. HEA
and please not too much angst. Sincerely, Ang.
“Bingo.” A light bulb when off in my
head and I had that big, “Ah-ha,” moment. I immediately claimed the story and
began writing and thus the free read, Rough in the Saddle, was born. Not long after the release, I began receiving
messages from readers asking about other characters in the story. For some
reason they were entertained by my three strapping cowboys at the XYZ Ranch and
their ménage relationship. A few months went by and I still received messages.
“I want to hear about Zander.”
It was then I gave some thought into
creating a series, but in order to do so I had to backtrack to the very
beginning and tell Zander’s story, thus all stories after my free read are
prequels. Zander’s Story spurred on Warren’s Story, and Warren’s Story kicked
off Joe Ray’s Story, and then Everett’s Story hit me.
What I like most about this series is
the fact each story is different. The characters vary, as well as their
naughtiness. Eleven men are contained in five hot tales that are sure to kick
start your libido. The original story, Rough in the Saddle, became Macon’s
Story. It is still free and always will be. Start your journey with Macon and
Wade, courtesy of myself and Siren-Bookstrand.
Macon's Story
by Hennessee Andrews
Macon Sumner loves two
things in world. One is taboo, his best friend Wade Sutherland. His second love
is the rodeo, where their problems begin. When a nosy reporter clicks a picture
at a rodeo, capturing Wade and Macon kissing, life is never the same or relationships
with their family and peers.
As outcasts in their
small, narrow minded town, Wade and Macon feel the effects daily. Wade becomes
secretive with their relationship, foolishly believing that hiding is the
answer. What he doesn’t realize is how much harm he is inflicting on Macon by
doing so.
Sneaking away for intimate
moments with Wade are as hurtful as the glares Macon receives from people who
are suppose to be neighbors, friends. Even roping buddies have stopped inviting
them to functions. He can’t stand how he feels or how Wade is treating him.
When he receives a call from Zander Wesley, he sees a new life and opportunity
for him and Wade.
CODE WORD: Rough
Hot Excerpt:
Wade became nervous
and oddly excited about the notion of jacking off with his best friend. “Don’t
you feel weird about this?” he’d asked, and averted his gaze, but he couldn’t
keep his eyes from wandering down to watch Macon unzip his jeans.
“Hell no. It’s not
like we haven’t seen each other’s dicks before.” Macon sat up on his knees and
pushed his jeans down. His erection popped out, his pale flesh highlighted by
the fire. “And don’t tell me you don’t stroke yours.”
“Well, I—”
Macon had laughed and
grabbed the tube, flipped open the lid, and squeezed out a healthy dose. “Suit
yourself, liar.”
Wade watched with
eagerness as Macon lubed his shaft and groaned with enthusiasm. There was
something about the deep sound of his voice when it rumbled in his chest, and
the way his face took on a contented expression. Something about the moment
just left him awestruck and rendered him speechless.
“Oh, yeah, this is
awesome.” Macon hummed while pulling slowly from the base of his cock to the
tip, before traveling back down the length again. The fire made the lube
glisten and shine.
Whether it was the
alcohol, countless erotic pictures, or Macon stroking his cock in front of him,
Wade couldn’t decide which had him more turned on. The warm orange light of the
fire homed in on Macon’s face, accenting his cheek bones and the curve of his
lips as they opened and then smiled with a sensual expression. Wade couldn’t
peel his eyes away from the scene playing out in front of him. A new desire
percolated through his veins, a feeling unlike any he’d ever experienced when
around any girl he had dated. The feeling so overwhelming, in fact…it caused
his dick to become painfully erect.
“You know you want
to, Wade.” Macon spoke softly and opened his eyes, his hand still working his
swollen shaft. “This is between you and me. It will never leave camp.”
Wade wobbled as he
moved to his knees. The alcohol had his mind abuzz, and the moment caused his
heart to race erratically. His fingers fumbled with his belt. He couldn’t shake
the newfound thrill that made his skin tingle. Quickly, he managed to gain
control of his faculties, unbuttoning and unzipping his jeans. Macon offered an
approving smile as Wade shoved his jeans down and reached for the lube. His
hands shook as he squeezed out almost a handful, not meaning to take so much.
As his heart
irregularly beat in his chest, his hand reached for his cock. The heat from the
fire, and his nervousness, made him break out in a sweat. His cock hurt so bad,
he could barely stand to stroke it. Watching Macon pleasure himself without
regard or embarrassment caused Wade’s balls to pull up tight.
“That’s it, Wade,
stroke it,” Macon encouraged him, never losing his rhythm. His hips moved,
pushing his cock through his grip with slow and easy strokes. His flat
washboard abs flexed while his hips wiggled and thrust forward.
Wade’s breaths came
quickly, his chest rising and falling rapidly. He was so hard and so wound up
at that moment. He couldn’t stop the uncontrollable desire or the quivers that
raced through his gut. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His release
hovered seemingly at the tip. He didn’t want to blow so fast in front of Macon.
Wouldn’t that make him seem weak, he wondered, as he took another large gulp of
air.
When he found the
control he wanted, he opened his eyes and Macon was there, a few inches away.
Something feral and dark loomed in his expression. His normally playful blue
eyes were narrowed, piercing. Wade wanted to speak, but couldn’t. His words
lumped in his chest when Macon grabbed his cock and took over the task for him.
A shuddered breath was all he could manage. Having Macon grasp his cock
terrified and shocked him, but more so, it excited the hell out of him.
“I’ve always wanted
to do this, Wade,” Macon stated with an intense look on his face. “I’ve dreamt
of this, me and you…like this.”
“You—you have?” Wade stuttered,
and his stomach muscles tightened. It felt so wrong, but at the same time, so
right.
“Oh, yeah.” Macon
pulled Wade’s cock with a tight grip, sending Wade’s head spinning with an
overload of emotions. “I’ve always wanted to do this, too.” He paused and moved
closer, pressing his cock against Wade’s. He wrapped both of his hands around
their swollen shafts and slowly moved his hips back and forth, rubbing them
together. “Oh, hell, it feels better than I could have imagined.”
Wade couldn’t summon
the courage to move or mutter a word. He was overcome with longing to
experience more. The feel of their cocks gliding over each other in Macon’s
hands was out of this world. His eyes closed as he succumbed, and he reveled in
the new sensation. Each and every defined ripple of their shafts bumped over
each other’s and sent a new jolt of electricity to his nerve endings.
“It feels awesome,
doesn’t it?” Macon thrust with a little more intent and squeezed tighter.
“Yes.” Wade gasped
and opened his eyes. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to touch Macon
and feel his lips pressed against his own. With a tentative hand, he reached
out and grazed Macon’s bare chest. His skin was smooth with hard muscles
flexing under his flesh. Nature took over, pushing out all rational thoughts
and feelings. Slowly Wade moved closer, his eyes connecting with Macon’s as he
neared. He moistened his lips and his body quivered when his lips were a breath
away. “Can I kiss you?”
