“Bluff” by Gianni X<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are a few minor spoilers here, but I don\u2019t believe there is anything that will take away from your reading pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my first review of a work by Gianni Holmes and it\u2019s long overdue, as I\u2019ve been reading her stories for a few years now. Here, writing and publishing as Gianni X, her spicier nom de plume, I have to hand it to her. This one was a winner right out of the gate. I\u2019m not usually attracted to conniving bitch-wife stories, but when I saw who the author was, I took a chance and downloaded it as a BookFunnel freebie when I saw she posted it in the Free MM Ebooks group at Facebook. I wasn\u2019t disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written in the first person narrative of the husband, \u201cBluff\u201d opens with the briefest interaction between him and his wife, Liz. It wasn\u2019t until just now, as I had to search for it, that I realized we don\u2019t learn his name until midway through the story. It\u2019s mentioned only twice. That\u2019s how good of a writer Gianni is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discover at the onset that Liz has pressured her husband into allowing her to screw around on the premise that they need to spice things up in the bedroom. Once he has picked out a partner for her, she will reciprocate. He reluctantly agrees after she informs him that whether he participates or not, she is going forward with her plan. Liz has already had her encounter with, as it turns out, the husband\u2019s best friend, Wes, and tonight it\u2019s the husband\u2019s turn. With the parting words of \u201cEnjoy, love,\u201d Liz is out the door, leaving the husband to wonder, and fantasize over who, from among her friends, she has selected for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Liz\u2019s brother, Griffin, shows up at the house, it all becomes clear. Liz, the bitch, has screwed her husband over once again. I could easily envision Griffin drooling over the prospect of an encounter with his brother-in-law, as we learn he\u2019s had the hots for the guy for like forever. When Griffin witnesses his brother-in-law\u2019s sharp, negative, knee-jerk objection, once he realizes what Liz has done, he is crestfallen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What begins as an attempt to ease some of Griffin\u2019s disappointment, and teach his wife a lesson at the same time quickly snowballs into the brother-in-law finding himself aroused by the possibility of his first man-on-man encounter, and let me tell you, snowball it does! It\u2019s kind of cute (and titillating) how he vacillates back and forth between fear, shock, and arousal as Griffin\u2019s ministrations start him on a fantastical journey of erotic ecstasy once he discovers the heights of pleasure a man can experience at the hands, tongue, and other body parts of another man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we know it, he\u2019s experienced Griffin\u2019s head between his legs, blowing his mind and something else, to discovering the pleasures Griffin\u2019s tongue creates as he moves from one erogenous zone to another, to him learning how to reciprocate as Griffin guides him through his first manly encounter while he moves from one end of Griffin\u2019s body to the other. One might believe that sliding into the tightest, most stimulating hole he\u2019s ever been in would be the crescendo of orgasmic pleasure, but let me tell you, Gianni, as a master of erotic description, has more in store for you. So as to not to take anything away from her method, I\u2019ll let you find out for yourself just how HARD you\u2019ll become at her physical descriptions of their bodies and lovemaking, let alone the mind-blowing, emotional rollercoaster they ride, repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the way Gianni ends the story. Again, I\u2019m not going to steal her thunder, but I will say it was wonderful to read how Liz was handled. Sometimes, the satisfaction one craves in screwing over others can be forestalled by the unintended benefit others might experience from the encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little housekeeping; I recognized only two typos. The first, \u201cchest collides\u201d instead of \u201cchests collide\u201d near the end of the story. Piggy backed to the repetition of \u201ccollided,\u201d three words later in the same sentence, was a bit awkward. The second, \u201cotherwi-se honest about,\u201d where the line break is not between syllables, also near the end of the story tripped me up a bit. This could easily have been written as \u201chonest about otherwise,\u201d thus avoiding the necessity to hyphenate the word. I can easily forgive these, minor glitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve intentionally left out quite a bit about \u201cBluff\u201d so that you can experience for yourself just how good of a writer Gianni Homes really is. There\u2019s nothing that displeases me more than to encounter major spoilers in a review, thus sabotaging the joy of discovering them for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
