Welcome Katey 🙂

 

Hey, Dani and the Love Bytes crew, thanks so much for letting me drop in! I’ve got a new book with a sweet October theme going: WITCHY BOYS: SEXY STORIES FOR DARK NIGHTS. Sounds about right, huh? Today, I’m going to share an exclusive excerpt from one of the stories in it, “Præsidium”. Drop into the comments when you’re done and enter to win the giveaway!

 

“Præsidium” is about a witch (surprise!) named Matt and a demon hunter named Thackeray. They’re trying to deal with a few bad news witches this Halloween… and also with their unstoppable attraction. The problem being, of course, that Thackeray is constantly haunted by a creepy, voyeuristic demon called Seir. Not exactly good for setting the mood.

 

Here there are on a stake out, watching the bad witches set up their ill-conceived ritual… all while standing very, very near each other.

 

 

“We have very different definitions of cool,” I said.

Matt snorted out a silent laugh. I almost felt proud of myself, but that flash of pleasure was interrupted. A huge metal bang echoed just outside the guardhouse, setting my teeth on edge and the hair on my arms standing up straight. Inside the warehouse, the shadowy Fenwick figures froze mid-action.

I flattened myself against the wall and grabbed Matt on purely protective instinct. One arm over his shoulder, hand against his chest, his back to my front tight so we would both be hidden from the Fenwicks when they inevitably looked in our direction.

His heart thundered against his chest, and mine against his back. We both held our breath. I counted silently to ten, until the sound of shuffling footsteps and worried whispers drew near our end of the warehouse. More clanging from outside.

“Is—?” Matt started to ask.

“Shhhhh.” I didn’t mean to put my lips against the shell of his ear; it was just right there. Fuck, he smelled good.

Amazingly, he relaxed, resting the back of his head against my shoulder. He shifted, trying to put another inch or two between him and the edge of the window just in case the Fenwicks came to examine it at close range. Logically, I knew that was why.

But what it felt like was something else entirely. It felt like a very tight, very fine ass aligning with my hips in a “willing and able” way. My cock experienced a slow but steady rush of blood, and my breath hitched.

I ignored it, or tried to. Listening for the footsteps—thank god, they didn’t seem to be approaching the window as much as the exit. Twenty yards from the guardhouse, but hopefully they’d find whatever was making the noise and be satisfied.

Matt turned his head slightly left and up. I couldn’t help but look down to catch his eyes, which were crinkled with amusement behind his librarian glasses. His full, pretty mouth pressed into a smirk. He flattened a hand against my thigh.

Mmmm, pliable, said Seir.

It broke the sexual tension of the moment for me, at least. I wriggled backward as far as I could, then sideways against a crate to keep my growing erection from pressing into Matt’s backside. It didn’t entirely work, but the effort was there.

And he noticed. He curled his fingers against my thigh and didn’t back into me again.

“Goddamn raccoon!” a voice outside shouted.

I disentangled myself from Matt further, returning the arm draped over him to my own side. The metal clanging (garbage can, I realized belatedly) from outside covered the whispery sounds of our shifting. As the Fenwicks returned to their work inside, we just stood there, breathing quietly. Me with my still-swelling dick making a mockery of me, Matt with his slow breaths and thudding heart that I would swear I could still hear.

Was that me, or was it Seir who could hear it? He must be enjoying this. I was glad I didn’t know half as much about his thoughts as he did about mine.

This is why I can’t have nice things, I thought.

“We should go.” My voice came out rougher than I expected. I shifted and adjusted my dick as subtly as possible.

But Matt only smiled up at me. “That a gun in your pocket, or…?”

I pushed off the wall and past him, then squeezed through the maze of equipment and out the door.

 

 

 

WITCHY BOYS: Sexy Stories for Dark Nights

Author: Katey Hawthorne

Publisher: Indie

Publication Date: October 18, 2016

Word Count: 20,000

 

Just in time for Halloween! Two novelettes about men with magic—and the occasional demon.

 

“Blood Magic and the Mini Zombie Apocalypse”

Griff has a bad habit of getting talked into black magic he shouldn’t be using—but this time it’s even worse. His ex is bent on revenge in the form of a mini zombie apocalypse, and the only person who can help Griff is a hottie white magic practitioner named Blythe. The catch: one of Griff’s spells gone wrong left Blythe with a haunted apartment a year ago, and Blythe isn’t over it.

 

Still, Blythe agrees to work with Griff. As they unravel the ugly blood, sex, and death magic, they also discover surprising things about each other. Hopefully, it’s enough for the ultimate trust they’ll need to defeat a lot of zombies and a crazed witch, or their town will end up covered in corpses.

 

“Præsidium”

Six years ago, Thackeray agreed to let a demon haunt him in exchange for help hunting other demons. It’s a lonely life, but worth it to be the best demon hunter possible — to save families from the kind of evil that ruined his own childhood.

 

This Hallowe’en, Thackeray’s dealing with an upstart coven. A powerful, pretty witch named Matt defects to help Thackeray stop their scheme to invite god-knows-what from the other side.

 

Demons are much easier to fight than the urges Matt’s flirting inspires. But Thackeray can’t hook up with a demon watching over his shoulder… can he?
