Happy Holidays, everyone! And who wants a Merry Kinkmas to go with that?

Out today from Loose Id is the Rated XXXmas Anthology, which includes a story by me and JA Rock, called Fall on Your Knees.

Here’s the blurb:

Asa and his longtime partner, Javier, are looking forward to a cozy, kinky Christmas together. But when Asa discovers his coworker Drew has nowhere to go for the holidays, he invites Drew home for dinner. His motives aren’t entirely pure: Asa and Javier are both dominant, and occasionally arrange one night stands with submissives. Asa’s been hot for Drew for months, even though he has no proof Drew is kinky.

Drew has wanted Asa since the day they met. Drew could never come between Asa and his partner, but it doesn’t stop him from fantasizing about belonging to Asa. About letting Asa do filthy, painful, incredible things to him. He accepts Asa’s dinner invitation reluctantly, not eager to witness Asa and Javier’s domestic bliss firsthand.

When Javier discovers Drew’s profile on a BDSM site shortly before Drew’s arrival, the game changes. A bold proposition leads to Asa and Jav sharing a night of play and passion with a dinner guest who’s nowhere near as innocent as he looks. But as their not-so-silent night progresses, all three find themselves on shaky ground. Can they keep this no strings attached? Or is there a way for each man to get what he really wants for Christmas?

This is basically a 30 000 word kink fest. And we do things here with toy trains and gingerbread that may scar you for life. You’re welcome.

Here’s an excerpt:

Javier was rinsing out the mixing bowl and didn’t hear the front door open. He jumped at Asa’s “Feliz Navidad!” behind him.
“It’s a little early for that, isn’t it?” Javier shut off the water and set the bowl down.
“Nope. You can start saying ‘Merry Christmas’ as soon as Thanksgiving’s over. That’s the rule.”
“Well, in that case, Feliz Navidad.” Javier shook his hands dry and turned to kiss Asa. “What’d you do about Drew?”
“Invited him over. He went home to change.” Asa headed to the fridge and got out a bottle of water. Asa always drank bottled water, which Javier had never understood. Tap water did the job just fine. Asa uncapped the bottle and stared at Javier as he drank.
Javier knew the look in Asa’s eyes—Asa was dying to tell him something. “What?”
Asa set the bottle down and leaned against the counter. “I think he’s a sub.”
“You asked?”
“Well, no.”
Javier rolled his eyes.
“I can tell!”
Javier caught his wrists and pulled him close. “You think every hot boy is a sub.”
“But listen—”
“You live in a fantasy world.” Javier kissed Asa’s cheek, released him, and went to check on the doughnuts in the oven. “You think you’re some kind of mind-reading dom who can tell from a single glance across the grocery store that the boy standing by the Triscuits is a sub; he just doesn’t know it…”
Asa took off his coat. “That is not what I think.” He peered into the large stockpot on the stove. “Can I try the stew?”
“Not yet.”
“Don’t you even want to hear my evidence?”
Javier did, but he wanted to antagonize Asa a little more first. “You should be in one of those novels called, like, Man of Steele—handcuffs on the cover, dark background. You’d be a billionaire security systems magnate named Drace Steele, and you’d meet some innocent, trembling little flower of a boy who’s never so much as kissed with tongue. But you know—”
“Drace? Really?” Asa tossed his coat on a chair.
“—you know he’s dying to get down on his knees and call you Master—he just needs you to awaken the desires he’s kept hidden even from himself.”
“Sounds about right.”
“Put your coat away. I won’t have your secret sub thinking we’re pigs.”

Oh, and if Man of Steele was a thing – and let’s not pretend it couldn’t be – the cover would totally look like this:
