(Dianne) Fox Writes

Anah Crow and I have another short story coming out in our Pit Road series this month, and this one’s called “Heating Up.” When Denny gets bad news from the doctor about his leg, Sully wants to be there for his man, but Denny’s not so sure they should be playing with fire.

It’s not coming out until January 24th (mark your calendars!), but I’ve got a little excerpt for you, so you can get a little taste of what’s coming your way.

Sully picked up one of the candles on the bedside table and held one of Denny’s hands, letting the wax from the candle drip, drip, drip onto his palm. “Just gonna play,” he said. “Could do it on the insides a your thighs, maybe, if you want. Back’s easier sometimes, little less sensitive.”

Denny’s breath caught and his pupils flared wide and dark; he didn’t pull his palm away. There was a moment in which tension started to rise up under his skin and Sully knew what was coming. Denny was gonna push away Sully’s hand, tell him to stop fucking around, shut down. He inhaled slowly and looked Sully in the eyes. “Do it again,” he breathed. “Here.” His fingers trailed over his chest.

Sully rewarded Denny with a kiss, and then sat up again to let the hot wax drizzle down onto Denny’s chest. Down the center-line first, just to see how Denny reacted.

Denny hissed in a breath and then shivered, a chill coming up on his skin, his nipples getting hard. He was watching Sully with huge eyes, caution written all over his face. His body, though, was only communicating pleasure.

“Feel good?” Sully asked, dripping wax over one of Denny’s nipples. The way Denny’s dick was getting hard said it felt real good, but Sully figured Denny ought to get to say so, too.
