He climbed onto the table and kneeled between Shane\u2019s thighs. Then he grasped each cheek firmly and began to push them up and out, exposing his anus. He began to knead the cheeks and pull them apart as he barely grazed his thumbs across the opening of Shane\u2019s hole. Shane\u2019s breathing changed from a steady rhythm to intermittent short gasps whenever Braden\u2019s thumbs found their mark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">When he focused his fingers in circular motions around the outer sphincter, Shane gasped, lifted his head, and then fell back to sleep. Ever so gently, Braden began to make the circles smaller and smaller until the outer sphincter relaxed and opened on its own. He rubbed the pad of his middle fingertip up and down the opening and slowly worked it in. He drizzled more oil over his finger and watched it slide into the opening as he advanced ever so slightly, repeating the circular motion until he met the resistance of the internal sphincter, but soon, it, too, opened and invited Braden to explore the depths of Shane\u2019s erogenous zone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">Shane began to moan softly in his sleep as Braden advanced deeper and deeper until he found the spongy, twin-mounds of his prostate. He reached down with his other hand and rubbed his thumb in a circular motion just beneath the back of Shane\u2019s glans, along the frenum and then traced his thumb up under his sack to the base of the shaft. Shane\u2019s cock began to swell and grow as it crept along the sheet like a turtle extending its head from its shell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">Braden reached under the shaft and lifted it from the sheet as he began to massage the head between his fingertips and his thumb, and then advanced his other finger deeper until it again pressed against Shane\u2019s growing prostate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">When Shane\u2019s moans deepened, Braden slid his fingers along the cock shaft to the base and back up to the tip, repeating the motion and intensifying the pressure. He was rewarded by the appearance of a bead of clear nectar, which he leaned down and licked with his tongue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">Shane opened his eyes. \u201cBraden, oh, my, God. What are you doing to me? It\u2019s so good. It\u2019s so good. Don\u2019t stop. Whatever you\u2019re doing, please don\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cIs this really good for you, Shane?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cYes. Yes, it\u2019s wonderful. It\u2019s amazing. It\u2019s like nothing I\u2019ve ever felt before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cThere\u2019s so much more I can do for you, if you want me to, or do you want to come now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cGod, how can you make me choose? I could go on like this forever, but I want to come so badly. It\u2019s so wonderful. So wonderful. My asshole is vibrating. It\u2019s beautiful. Beautiful. I never knew I could experience such pleasure. There\u2019s such a warmth deep inside my groin, and it\u2019s spreading out all through my body and there\u2019s a tingling that\u2019s starting inside my cock. It\u2019s inside my prostate and my balls, too. You\u2019re a devil. You\u2019re a devil, Braden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">Braden leaned down again and sucked the glans of Shane\u2019s cock into his mouth as he began to rub his prostate in circular motions. A stream of sweet and musky nectar was expelled from the slit, followed by a steady trickle. Shane curled his toes and lifted his head, shaking it from side to side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cSo good. It\u2019s so good, Braden. God, you\u2019re incredible. I want to come so bad. I need to come. I need to come!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cBut, do you want to come \u2026 now? That\u2019s all I need to know, Shane. We\u2019ve only grazed the surface of what I can do for you, but if you really want to come now, I\u2019ll give it to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cDevil! You devil! I want to come, but I don\u2019t. I want more. I want more. I can\u2019t believe there can be more than this. It\u2019s impossible. You\u2019re a liar. You\u2019re a liar, Braden. There can\u2019t be more than this. There can\u2019t be. It would kill me. You\u2019d kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cDo you want to experience something more intense than this, Shane? Do you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cYes! Yes! Please, yes!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cVery well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">Braden returned his mouth to Shane\u2019s cock and began to suck. He pressed deeper with his finger against his prostate. Then he added a second finger, spreading Shane\u2019s anus apart even further. He began sliding his fingers in and out past the sphincters as he sucked harder and harder against Shane\u2019s straining shaft. When his fingers were buried to their hilt, he tapped Shane\u2019s prostate three times. Then he added a third finger, stretching Shane to the limits of his tolerance. Then he stopped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cWhat are you doing? Why\u2019d you stop? Don\u2019t stop!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cTo give you a break, Shane. I want this to build and build. I sensed you could come at any second, but I want to make this last for you, Shane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cOh, my, God. I can\u2019t take it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cBut you want to take it. You want to. Trust me. You said you trust me, right, Shane?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cYes, but why are you torturing me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">\u201cI\u2019m not torturing you, Shane, I\u2019m preparing you.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_254\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-254\" style=\"width: 2539px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-254\" src=\"http:\/\/korysteed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-evernightpublishing-2017-VistaPrint-Mugs_Panoramic-Wraparound.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2539\" height=\"945\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.korysteed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-evernightpublishing-2017-VistaPrint-Mugs_Panoramic-Wraparound.jpg 2539w, http:\/\/www.korysteed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-evernightpublishing-2017-VistaPrint-Mugs_Panoramic-Wraparound-300x112.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.korysteed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-evernightpublishing-2017-VistaPrint-Mugs_Panoramic-Wraparound-768x286.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.korysteed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-evernightpublishing-2017-VistaPrint-Mugs_Panoramic-Wraparound-1024x381.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.korysteed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-evernightpublishing-2017-VistaPrint-Mugs_Panoramic-Wraparound-1200x447.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-254\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">When Lightning Strikes Twice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Buy links:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Amazon US &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-Book-ebook\/dp\/B078XLNKCS\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1515686266&amp;sr=1-1\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-Book-ebook\/dp\/B078XLNKCS\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1515686266&amp;sr=1-1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amazon UK &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-Book-ebook\/dp\/B078XLNKCS\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1515686266&amp;sr=1-1\">https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-Book-ebook\/dp\/B078XLNKCS\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1515686266&amp;sr=1-1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amazon CA &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-Book-ebook\/dp\/B078XLNKCS\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1515686266&amp;sr=1-1\">https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/When-Lightning-Strikes-Twice-Book-ebook\/dp\/B078XLNKCS\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1515686266&amp;sr=1-1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Evernight Publishing &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evernightpublishing.com\/when-lightning-strikes-twice-by-kory-steed\/\">http:\/\/www.evernightpublishing.com\/when-lightning-strikes-twice-by-kory-steed\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Smashwords &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/777618\">https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/777618<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bookstrand &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookstrand.com\/when-lightning-strikes-twice-mm\">http:\/\/www.bookstrand.com\/when-lightning-strikes-twice-mm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Barnes &amp; Noble &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/when-lightning-strikes-twice-kory-steed\/1127795113?ean=2940155081111\">https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/when-lightning-strikes-twice-kory-steed\/1127795113?ean=2940155081111<\/a><\/p>\n<p>iTunes &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/when-lightning-strikes-twice\/id1333282261?mt=11\">https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/when-lightning-strikes-twice\/id1333282261?mt=11<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Networking links:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Author Website &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/korysteed.com\">http:\/\/korysteed.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KorySteed\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/KorySteed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KorySteed\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KorySteed\/<\/a><\/p>\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><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m so very pleased to announce the release of When Lightning Strikes Twice, the third book in my Lightning Series, only from Evernight Publishing.
