Healed, whole, and ready to renew their growing love, they begin to plan a future together. With their first night of torrid lovemaking, they dream of many more, but fate is against them.<\/p>\n<p>A dark nemesis from Jason\u2019s past reappears with lethal intent, driven by a grudge from having been disgraced by a military tribunal. The fallout for Jason and Aaron is far-reaching and heart-wrenching and tears into the fabric of the life they have so carefully begun to weave.<\/p>\n<p>When hatred strikes in a barrage of gunfire, they are left fighting for their lives. Their only focus is to take back what has been ripped away from them; their only hope, that the strength of their love will be enough.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>+18 Reader ONLY Excerpt:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cYou look beautiful,\u201d Aaron said as Jason approached the bed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo do you. How did I get so lucky?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLuck had nothing to do with it, baby. You saved my life. You were kind to me, and you took care of me, and day by day, I fell more and more in love with you, and now you\u2019re stuck with me.\u201d Aaron opened his arms, and Jason climbed into them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can live with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As they began to kiss, Aaron rolled Jason onto his back. \u201cNow let me take care of you for a change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust go slow, Aaron, and remember, just because I can\u2019t go for too long doesn\u2019t mean that I don\u2019t want to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, baby. I\u2019m going to take such good care of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m all yours, Aaron.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, you\u2019re mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron rolled to his side and began to slowly run the back of his fingertips across the thick, trimmed hair that covered Jason\u2019s chest, lingering over each nipple when he crossed them. Then he moved it up and down his belly, barely making contact, raising goosebumps. \u201cI could do this for hours, baby, but I know I\u2019d be pushing it, and I don\u2019t want to put too much stress on you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to, it\u2019s just\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHush, my love, I know,\u201d he answered as he covered Jason\u2019s mouth with his own.<\/p>\n<p>He ran his fingertips through the manicured lawn above Jason\u2019s growing shaft and then cupped his balls into his palm, gently squeezing and massaging them.<\/p>\n<p>Jason\u2019s lips parted. As he let out a moan, Aaron drove his tongue deep inside Jason\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBaby, I could come just like this,\u201d Jason moaned again as he pulled his mouth away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that what you want?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I want to come with you inside me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I\u2019ll make that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron slid himself down along the length of Jason\u2019s body until his face hovered above his shaft. He lowered his head and gently squeezed his balls as if he was testing the ripeness of an orange, just enough to bring the first drop of sweet nectar to the surface. When it appeared at the slit in the head, he flicked the tip of his tongue across it, lifting the drop as it emerged. Immediately, he encircled the reddened helmet with his mouth and began to flick his tongue around the corona and down the frenum. Then he began to suck.<\/p>\n<p>Jason\u2019s body spasmed. \u201cOh! Oh, my! Aaron.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron rose to his knees and pivoted around while moving his right thigh across Jason\u2019s chest until he straddled it. He opened his mouth as wide as he could and slid down the shaft, deep throating it until his nose became buried in Jason\u2019s balls.<\/p>\n<p>Jason lifted his head and pulled Aaron\u2019s sack into his mouth as he nuzzled his nose behind it, inhaling Aaron\u2019s musk.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron sucked Jason\u2019s shaft hard as he pulled up and lingered over the crown, and then he released it for a moment. \u201cOh, Jason, your scent. It drives me wild.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instinctively, Jason spread open his thighs when Aaron began to milk his shaft with his mouth. When Aaron reached down and began to circle his middle finger around Jason\u2019s hole, Jason groaned and tightened his abdominal muscles, causing his hips to roll upward. \u201cOw! Aaron, help me. It&#8217;s pulling on my ribs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere the chest tube was?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve got you, baby.\u201d Aaron grasped Jason\u2019s butt cheeks with his hands, spreading them apart, while he slid his mouth from the head and traced his tongue downward along the underside of Jason&#8217;s shaft. When he reached his balls, he mouthed them one at a time, rolling them against his tongue. Then he moved down further, licking along the shaft as it ran beneath the base of his pelvis until he reached Jason&#8217;s clenching hole. In one long motion, he spread his tongue wide and licked along the crack from the base of Jason\u2019s cock and across the hole, until he came out the other end. Then he tightened his tongue into a lance and began to drive it against Jason\u2019s outer sphincter, jabbing and wiggling it as he went until it relented and opened itself to him.<\/p>\n<p>Jason&#8217;s body began to tremble and lurch in time with Aaron&#8217;s advances. Guttural sounds erupted from his throat as Aaron devoured him like a predator feasting over a fresh kill. The louder Jason became, the more Aaron was driven into a feeding frenzy as he sucked and slurped and swallowed until he breached the final barrier.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron pulled away and reached for a bottle of lube. He popped it open and squeezed a huge glop over his fingers, then wiggled his middle finger against the outer sphincter of Jason\u2019s hole at the same moment he dove down on his shaft again and began to suck, feverishly. Jason\u2019s hole puckered, but then opened as he advanced past the inner sphincter. Making small circles as he probed deeper, he massaged the muscles and coated them with the slick lube until his finger was in to the last knuckle. Then he added his index finger and began sliding them together in and out and around and around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod!\u201d Jason shouted. His breathing became ragged as he gasped against the advance of Aaron\u2019s ministrations, and when he added a third finger, Jason began to pant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re almost there, my love,\u201d Aaron said as he readied the fourth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m ready, Aaron. Please. I\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Aaron had all four fingers inside him and began to caress his prostate, Jason\u2019s hips began to buck, wildly. A jet of pre-cum was ejected from the now purple head, and Aaron sucked it down his throat, greedily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEasy, baby. I don\u2019t want you to hurt yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t help it, Aaron. Not when you do that!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I was too aggressive. I forgot\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t apologize! Not for that! Not ever!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoll onto your side, baby. I\u2019m going to take you slow. Slow and steady. Just let me do everything. I don\u2019t want you to rip open any stitches. How would I explain that to your doctors?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron, forget the fucking stitches! They\u2019re coming out tomorrow. Now, please,\u201d Jason moaned, \u201cmake love to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron\u2019s cock bounced with each heartbeat, aching for release. He slid his body next to Jason\u2019s, rolled him back onto his side, and encircled him in an embrace. Then he slowly slid his shaft along the cleft between Jason\u2019s butt cheeks, through his thighs, and under his balls until its head found daylight on the other side. Jason reached down and scooped up what remained of Aaron\u2019s saliva and mixed it with the pre-cum that oozed from his slit. He grasped the engorged head of Aaron\u2019s cock and began to lubricate it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Buy links:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon US &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B075G48LH4\/ref=series_dp_rw_ca_2\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B075G48LH4\/ref=series_dp_rw_ca_2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon UK &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B075G48LH4\/ref=series_dp_rw_ca_2\">https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B075G48LH4\/ref=series_dp_rw_ca_2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon CA &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Lightnings-Hidden-Menace-Lightning-Book-ebook\/dp\/B075G48LH4\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1507422200&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Lightning's+Hidden+Menace\">https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Lightnings-Hidden-Menace-Lightning-Book-ebook\/dp\/B075G48LH4\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1507422200&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Lightning%27s+Hidden+Menace<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evernight Publishing &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evernightpublishing.com\/lightnings-hidden-menace-by-kory-steed\/\">http:\/\/www.evernightpublishing.com\/lightnings-hidden-menace-by-kory-steed\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barnes &amp; Noble &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/lightnings-hidden-menace-kory-steed\/1127096745?ean=2940154548813\">https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/lightnings-hidden-menace-kory-steed\/1127096745?ean=2940154548813<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iTunes &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lightnings-hidden-menace\/id1282617754?mt=11\">https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lightnings-hidden-menace\/id1282617754?mt=11<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Networking links:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Author Website &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/korysteed.com\">http:\/\/korysteed.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KorySteed\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/KorySteed<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KorySteed\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KorySteed\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goodreads &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/16591892.Kory_Steed\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/16591892.Kory_Steed<\/a><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m so pleased to announce that\u00a0Lightning&#8217;s Hidden Menace has been published and is now available through Amazon, Evernight Publishing, and\u00a0BookStrand.
