Free Read--- Mi Familia to begin 2/25

I'm pleased to announced my latest story that I'll be featuring on the blog as a free read. The tale is from a published short story I did called Different Kind of Family Portrait in side the XOXO Tattoo Anthology Volume II.

This is the full tale, only exclusive to Tabooindeed and it will start Friday February 25th as a regular Friday feature.

Here is a blurb, I'm renaming them for the full story.

Young Diante, a Puerto Rican black male has know since he was in high school that he was gay since women never excited him. His good friends, Jared and Vince are aware and chastise him for his decision, though they are very supportive, standing by him when he is taunted by fellow classmates.

Now that they are older and attitudes have changed, their friendship has crossed over into different territory. Are they ready to face it?

The muses just wouldn't leave me alone so every Friday, I'll have an episode ready for you.

The three guys are my models only. Hope you enjoy it.

To give you a feel, here is an excerpt and blurb from XOXO publishing's Tattoo Anthology.

Blurb: Three men who find a common bond and become closer have a unique family portrait to symbolize their love.

Excerpt - PG

Once more, Joe groaned repeating the same motion on Gregory’s arm to add color to our family portrait: the addition of mocha brown to shade my figure in.

Years back when I fantasized about having two lovers, never did I think it would actually come true. Especially not with the two men, I called my best friends.

Much to our parent’s dismay, we did admit to them we were gay and happy to be so. More importantly, we informed them we would be together because this was comfortable for all of us. Even though it relaxed them knowing we would take care of one another, they still did not approve. Truthfully, what parent would?

That did not matter to us; all we cared about was our union. Of course, both David and Gregory’s parents blamed me; the one they always knew was “different” in the words of my father.

In fact, ever since I was fourteen, I was aware that I did not like girls. Nothing about them excited me. When I told my two friends about this, they laughed thinking like my folks that it was a phase. However, just as I know now this was not a growing pain but an aching desire to be with a man.

Looking forward to 2.25 to reveal the first chapter...

It's my way of saying thanks to all the wonderful readers out there and quiet my muses...

Excerpt A Different Kind of Family Portrait

David Taylor, my MIA fave porn star, is one of the models in this story, playing himself. Here is the excerpt...


“Hmph, damn baby. I wish you would have told me this was gonna hurt,” Gregory said to me as he looked at the ink he had just gotten.

“Gregory, he did tell you that, but you were a little too busy eyeing me this morning,” said David after kissing him.

The art depicts the three of us partially unclothed putting our right hands on top of one another. We had decided to do this to show our love and promised commitment. David and I went first since we had work done, quite a lot actually. On the other hand, this was Gregory’s first tattoo and he was barely making it through.

As our personal artist, continued to place the silver tool to his skin, he winced while grabbing my hand. For such a big man, he is such a baby!

“Gregory, it will be over soon, love.” David rubbed his bicep that was not being assaulted right then.

“Jason, to make him feel better we should fuck him extra special tonight right? I mean we did trick him into this by saying we’d be going to a strip club.” David massaged Gregory’s bulge in his pants.

Approvingly, I smiled at one of my husbands while looking at the other in obvious discomfort.

How lucky I am to be in love with not one, but two very gorgeous men. All of us are quite the lookers, drawing attention from everyone everywhere we go. However, it was not important to any of us. We had always known since high school that we’re meant to be together, although not in this fashion.

“Ow…God…when is this going to end?” Gregory whined clenching his fists.

Gregory is this trios’ muscleman. Even though we’re all built, he is a former Mr. America. While at a male beauty pageant showering, he figured out that he liked men much more than women.

Joe laughed at our girly man squealing because of the annoying pain.

“Greg, hon, it’s not that bad. Jason and I go through this all the time, just relax…” David kissed Gregory on the head.

David is our heartthrob. Our former porn star made his discovery after making out with a male co-star at the nude video awards after a party. In his words, Adrian’s lips were begging to be kissed; so he did. Moreover, Adrian made up his mind that night he would show David the finer things about being a homosexual through physical orientation.

David reached out for my hand, licking the back of it. “So are we gonna give our cry baby somethin’ to remember this night, the culmination of our union?”

Amused, I smiled at David taking his hand, sucking his fingers. “Yes lover, we will.” That minute I enveloped his lips with mine.

The Tattoo Anthology XOXO 10/10/10

The story I wrote entitle, A Different Kind of Family Portrait will be out in this anthology this coming Sunday. I am REALLY stoked as it will be Michael's second of five coming out very soon.

The story is about a triad of men who decide to get tattoos of themselves on each others bodies as a way to show love. It chronicles their first time as well as the actual act of them getting the art done by a not so friendly artist.

I don't believe I posted an excerpt. I will check now, and if not, it will be the next post...;P
