Love Letters

 

To celebrate the release of Fraud Twice Felt, (Book 2 of the Oddities series), I’m sharing a couple love letters written between the main characters, Elliot Leed and Derwin Bryant. Enjoy!

 

(Letter 1, typed on a piece of printer paper in bold black ink. Scratch outs included.)

 

Love Letters

 

From Elliot:

 

Dear Derwin,

 

Yo Derwin,

 

I’m sitting here at this new job, and Bob says he doesn’t have anything else for me to file or anyone for me to call at the moment, so I’m writing you. I’m typing on the computer, which is funny because I know I’ll have to print this out for you since you hate computers.

 

I feel so strange being awake during the day and sleeping at night, doing this normal job thing. I really like the sleeping part, lying naked with you, feeling safe with you spooning up against me. Crap. All I have to do is think about that, you know, about how your cock brushes against my ass even when you’re deep asleep and how the muscles in your arms flex, and I get hard.

 

Like I am now.

 

How can it only be 3pm? I want this work day to be over so we can go home. Then we can chat about our day—you’ll tell me some crazy story about a fugitive or demon you were chasing. Meanwhile I’m brushing Bickering since you never do a good job of it. Poor cat gets all matted. We watch some TV, and then later we go upstairs and you might spank me because I’m a brat, and then you fuck me. This whole relationship thing is pretty cool. I guess I could wish it had happened sooner, but I suppose we had the right timing to meet each other.

 

It’s 3:01pm.

 

Hurry back from your hunt for whatever demon or fugitive you’re tackling today.

 

I miss you already.

 

–Elliot

 

 

(Letter 2—written in pencil on a sticky note.)

 

Hey babe,

 

You are awesome, and I’m going to pound your ass into the mattress tonight.

 

Love holding you too. I hope you know how happy I am that I found you.

 

See you soon,

 

Derwin

About Fraud Twice Felt

 

Three weeks after solving his old boyfriend’s murder, bounty hunter Derwin Bryant is trying to let go of the past and embrace his new life with Elliot Leed, a former rentboy and fellow Oddity. Elliot, meanwhile, is trying to adjust to working at Bob’s Bail Bonds and having a real relationship despite his strange power of Object Reading. Hanging over the couple is the fear that Roy Yoshiro, notorious gang lord, will make good on his threats to claim Elliot. If that happens, not even Derwin’s superhuman strength will be enough to protect the man he loves.

 

Their concerns are overshadowed when Derwin’s friend asks for help finding her missing son. It’s not long before the case takes Derwin and Elliot back to the crime-ridden underbelly of the city and straight into Yoshiro’s clutches. Two gangs are vying for power, and Derwin and Elliot get caught in the middle of their very public fight.

 

Derwin and Elliot must find a way to thwart both gangs’ plans and escape alive. This time, one misstep could spell disaster for all the inhabitants of Nis.

About The Oddities Series

 

The government wants to control Oddities. Regular people condemn them. And the corporations want to study their DNA . . .

Derwin Bryant is a bounty hunter, a demon hunter, and has an Oddity that allows him to feed on pain to increase his strength and speed. Elliot Leed is a rent boy turned private investigator with a rare Oddity of his own—the ability to read objects with strong emotional imprints. Together they take on cases that no one else can, in a city full of corruption, crime, and the forgotten poor.

It’s a tough place for two men in love to make a difference.
