Like a Thief in the Night<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Welcome E.D. Thank you for visiting my blog today with your heartfelt romance novel, Like a Thief in the Night<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for hosting my new release gay romance, Like a Thief in the Night<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gorgeous, businessman, Saxon Dearing buys a pied de terre in the city where he works. Only using the place on three nights, he goes home to his beachside house for the rest of the week. At thirty-two, immersed in his work, he doesn\u2019t know he\u2019s lonely until delicious, twenty-five year old Jon Palmer literally drops into his life during a thunderstorm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist Jon struggles to sell his paintings from a tiny studio, and works in a city gallery to pay his rent. As the two men fall in love, Jon can\u2019t overcome the idea his lack of success is a barrier to telling handsome, wealthy Saxon how he feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When his boss offers him a dangerous way of making money, Jon must make a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will he risk telling Saxon he loves him or let his lack of confidence lead him astray and away from the man who loves him, too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we welcome, Saxon Dearing one of the heroes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll make this interview fun\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saxon, If you were a dessert, what would you be? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Laughs) A dessert \u2026 well I know Jon likes ginger cookies, but that\u2019s not really a dessert, huh? Okay I know, lemon meringue pie, yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you do when you need to blow off steam? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I\u2019m in the city I go to the gym and beat the crap out of a punch bag. If I\u2019m at the beach house, I run on the beach, although I do keep to the wet sand and I like to wear my iPod<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you look for in a man?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing now I\u2019ve met Jon. He\u2019s perfect for me. I love him. He\u2019s intelligent, creative, good-looking, sexy, sweet \u2026 I could go on all day about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is in your refrigerator right now? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the city, steak, lettuce, cherry tomatoes \u2026 a half pack of beer, what else \u2026 a red pepper. There\u2019s not that much because Jon and I are going up to the beach house tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s on your bedroom floor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the city, my old baseball bat, that\u2019s under the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you wear in bed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depends what I\u2019m doing (smiles) so it ranges from a t-shirt and boxers to nothing \u2026 (smiles again) mostly nothing now<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light on or off?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either, both<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate or vanilla?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is that for licking off Jon\u2019s abs? Has to be chocolate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your biggest fear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, well, I have to think about that for a second. I could say spiders or losing on the stock market but truth is it\u2019s losing Jon\u2019s love. It would break my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your most treasured possession?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the last question \u2026 Jon\u2019s not my possession but I treasure him. If it has to be a possession, then it\u2019s a drawing Jon gave me \u2026 he\u2019s an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite outfit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have some old faded levis and beaten up leather boots that I rely on when I\u2019m not in suits. I usually throw on a t-shirt and my battered leather jacket over the top. I have to wear suits for work. I like my black one best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you like to see Jon dressed in?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything he likes, (his eyes mist a little) although I do like him in the tux he wore for our wedding, and in his ripped jeans, because there\u2019s a frayed bit high on his thigh\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a favorite music track?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My taste and surprisingly Jon\u2019s too, is eclectic. We\u2019re listening to old Coldplay stuff right now \u2026 love them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell the readers something you\u2019ve never told anyone before.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Grins) What? You mean spill a secret? You do. (Takes a deep breath) I have nothing for you, nope not a thing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll make that the last question. Thanks for visiting. Where are you off to next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Smiles) You know that\u2019s another question, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have a story teaser for you from, Like a Thief in the Night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jon struggled into a sitting position. \u201cWhat time is it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saxon shook his head. \u201cI don\u2019t know, but maybe nine or ten.\u201d Saxon sat up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHell, not ten please.\u201d Jon leaped from the bed and dashed to his backpack where he snatched a smartphone from the front zipper pocket. He ran his hand through his sleep-ruffled hair. It stood on end at the front. He cast a glance at Saxon. \u201cIt\u2019s nine. I start at nine-thirty. I\u2019m sorry, I have to dash.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay. Will I make you a coffee while you dress?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks for thinking of me, but I\u2019ll make a cup at the gallery.\u201d He ran into the bathroom and came out moments later in the jeans and sweater Saxon had seen him wearing the night before. He dropped a pair of boots to the floor and zipped up his fly as he pushed bare feet into them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saxon gazed at the spectacle. He got out of bed and walked rapidly to the kitchen remembering Jon\u2019s jacket was draped over the back of a chair. He brought it to Jon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon rewarded him with a smile. \u201cThank you. Is it okay to leave my pajamas in the bathroom?\u201d He slipped his jacket on and grabbed up his backpack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Saxon\u2019s surprise and delight, Jon kissed him by the side of his mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSee you tonight. Thank you so much.\u201d He strode to the door, opened it, and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saxon went to the bathroom and picked up Jon\u2019s pajamas. He hung them from a hook on the door and dragged on his robe from the other hook. Jon\u2019s socks lay in a damp bunch on the floor next to the shelf housing towels. His boots must leak.<\/em> Concern furrowed his brow. He put the socks in the laundry hamper. They can go in the wash. I\u2019ll get coffee first. I\u2019ve missed early trading. Perhaps it doesn\u2019t matter this once.<\/em> Saxon hummed as he heaped coffee grains into the filter. An unfamiliar deep happiness bubbled in him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Like a Thief in the Night <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gorgeous, businessman, Saxon Dearing buys a pied de terre in the city where he works. Only using the place on three nights, he goes home to his beachside house for the rest of the week. At thirty-two, immersed in his work, he doesn\u2019t know he\u2019s lonely until delicious, twenty-five year old Jon Palmer literally drops into his life during a thunderstorm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Read a teaser<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Be Warned: M\/M SEX<\/strong><\/em> +18 Readers Only!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The invitation to kiss lured Jon in a second. The delicious feel of his lover\u2019s lips mingled with the emotion that swished in his stomach. He clung to Saxon, sharing heated kiss after kiss until his heart raced. He drew away trying to cool the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Saxon traced a finger along Jon\u2019s cheek to his jaw. It left delectable sensation in its wake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jon took a deep breath. He returned to sitting in the shelter of Saxon\u2019s arm and stared at the screen where the movie played on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Moments passed before Saxon spoke softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cI know you go home Saturday after work, but can I see you tomorrow night? Will you come to the beach house? I know it\u2019s clingy, maybe even surprising, but I feel like I don\u2019t want to let you out of my sight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The sentiment sent a wave of warmth into Jon\u2019s heart. If only things were different, we\u2019d fall in love. I already feel safe with him. I want to love him and have him love me. He won\u2019t love a felon. <\/em>Jon sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Saxon must have mistaken the sigh for a refusal. \u201cYou probably have plans, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jon hurried to correct the idea. \u201cNo. I\u2019d love to see you, Saxon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWhere\u2019s your phone? I\u2019ll put my address and both my numbers in your contacts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jon couldn\u2019t help smiling. He likes me a lot, for sure.<\/em> He stood and went to his jacket. He brought his smartphone back to the couch and sat beside Saxon. \u201cHere you go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Saxon bent his head to key in the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just watching him gave Jon a soft glow of affection for the man. When Saxon gave him the phone, Jon held onto his hand. \u201cDo you want my number?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cNaturally. I\u2019ll fetch my phone from my desk.\u201d He slipped his hand from Jon\u2019s grasp, his fingers sliding along Jon\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The feeling translated into pure sex for Jon. When Saxon returned to the couch with his phone, Jon traced the shape of his lover\u2019s toned muscles in the t-shirt stretched across his chest with a hungry gaze. Desire gripped Jon and he muffled a sigh. He longed to feel Saxon\u2019s skin beneath his palms. He ached to press against Saxon\u2019s hard body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Saxon held out his phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jon keyed his number into Saxon\u2019s contacts and slipped the phone next to his own on the adjacent cushion. He turned to Saxon sitting beside him and ran his hand around Saxon\u2019s waist. He leaned to kiss Saxon\u2019s ear and neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Saxon shifted his head and found Jon\u2019s mouth. Kissing him and smiling, he murmured, \u201cI might not be able to stop at kisses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A smile crept onto Jon\u2019s lips as he recognized his own phrase. He pulled Saxon\u2019s t-shirt up and over his head. \u201cSounds perfect.\u201d He drifted his fingers in circles over Saxon\u2019s chest as he kissed his lover. An aura of sex fell over him as he opened Saxon\u2019s pants and trailed his fingertips over the shape of Saxon\u2019s cock, rock hard, the tip reaching to the top of his boxers. A low moan escaped him as he touched his tongue to Saxon\u2019s. He pushed his hand into Saxon\u2019s underwear and grasped his lover\u2019s dick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Saxon barely broke the kiss to murmur. \u201cLet\u2019s get naked. I need to feel your body clasped to mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jon didn\u2019t need asking again. He stood and pulled off his sweater. He levered off his boots and dragged off his jeans and underwear in one move. His heart pounded. His eyelids felt heavy with lust as he turned to Saxon and saw him naked, his clothes lying on the floor around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jon grabbed him close. He crushed Saxon to him, the feel of his lover\u2019s hard cock pressed on his own sent tingles through every part of his body. He rocked his hips so that their dicks rubbed together. He grasped Saxon\u2019s ass and kissed his mouth hard. His balls tightened and desperation made his stomach clench as he felt the first stirring of orgasm. \u201cFuck, Saxon, you drive me nuts. I need to come so bad I feel like begging.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
