Bound for Romance - Binding Justice

Morning readers. I'll be bringing these characters back for the Wednesday Briefs. Not sure for how long but a couple of the prompts jumped out at me for their story. 

Who are they? Sire and Justice from the story Binding Justice in the Bound for Romance anthology. This awesome collection was released in July 2011 from Sizzler Editions under editor Sascha Illyvich. Four stories about BDSM, romance, and erotica all rolled up into one.

My story, Binding Justice is a May/December romance about an older hobbled man, Sire Jacobs, who lost his wife to cancer and wants someone to assist him. When visited by an old friend, Sire is reminded about his desires to be with another man and is asked to explore the fantasies with a young man who'd liven up his sex life and help him as he wants. What he doesn't expect is falling completely in love with Jarvis Densley, renamed Justice and instead of the man just being a partner and assistant, he's become an obsession. 

Here is a snippet from the only m/m romance story in the collection. 

With the help of his cane, Sire got up from his recliner. He pushed the button on the remote before walking to his bedroom where he looked at the empty bed. He hadn't been able to sleep comfortably in the room since Tawyna died because he missed her warm body. It was the room she took her last breath. The disease was so far along the doctors told her it was best to rest at home and allow nature to take its course.

It had been three weeks. Sire felt like it had been much longer. He missed her so much; the feel of her skin, her long black hair. She was beautiful all the way up to the day she died, even with the horrible menace eating away at her.

"I'll be in heaven watching over you, Sire…" she'd say when they took one of their last walks together. Sire smiled to himself when thinking of her delicate grin.

I can't do this.

Sire went a door down to the guest room where he'd been sleeping since that dreadful day. He couldn't bring himself to be in their bedroom, especially since he hadn't gone through her belongings. He couldn't bear to touch anything. He left it as if she were still living.

After undressing, Sire limped over to the half made bed, sitting lightly on the mattress before lying back on the pillow. Once he set his clock for seven, he turned in the direction of the window.

A small tear fell from his eyes when thinking of his companion for the last twenty years. He missed Tawnya Churchton Jacobs more and more everyday and he knew he'd never find another person to replace her. Trying to deal with the fact he may be alone depressed him.

Who wants this old man anyway?

"No one."

Saturday Sips---Binding Justice

Greetings!

Welcome to Michael's Saturday Sips.

Rawiya and BL actually started this trend and they bragged so much about how well it does, I decided I'd do my own as well.

Great minds think alike. *grins*

Today, my sip is from my upcoming short story to be out soon. Its currently in edits but I love the story and I know it will do well.

It's my first real bondage tale not full BDSM just a story about a man wanting to be another's dominator or Sir. In this case, Sire Jacobs meets the man he'd like to have after years of suppressing his gay desires. Binding Justice is a story of love, trust, and eroticism that I hope will be a interesting sexy read.

In this scene, Sire Jacobs meets his man, Jarvis Densley in his friends nightclub. He wants to get to know more about him.

Still gazing, he noticed Gabe pulling someone’s hand through a crowd. When Sire locked eyes with Gabe, his friend nodded with a smile as the young man with him was turned to the right. After a couple of seconds, Sire got a glimpse of the guy. He was dressed in leather, looking very appealing even from a distance.

Whoa

Sire sat up on his stool, angling his neck trying to get a good look as the twosome walked over in his direction through small throngs of people. Before he knew it, Gabe made his way over with a tall, lanky, gentleman with burgundy hair, brown eyes, chiseled features, and a wry smile. He looked a lot like one of the men on the flyer Gabe had earlier; almost the same outfit, his makeup perfect. His look was just what Sire wanted.

Gabe grinned, “Sire, this is Jarvis Densley. I been talking with him a few minutes about his choice of clothing. He looks a lot like you asked about, right?”

Sire drew up his lips, stroking his beard.

Jarvis Densley, ugly name for a beautiful man

Sire nodded in Gabe’s direction. “Right.” He held out his hand in front of Jarvis. “Hello, I’m Sire Jacobs. Nice to meet you.”

“Good to meet you too.” Jarvis accepted.

Gabe brought another seat over for Jarvis, waiving him in it. “I’ll be back, you guys go on and talk.”

Sire continued to stare at the young man as he sat. “Um, Gabe, what about my friends?”

“I’ll get ‘em,” he called back as he left.

Sire caught Jarvis gaze again, loving the sight of what was in front of him. The man was gorgeous. He looked exactly like the picture. “My friend, can I buy you a drink?”

“Um, sure, why not.”

“Whatd’ya have?”

“Um, just a Rum and Coke will be fine.”

Sire nodded, signaling for the female bartender to come over. “Love, please, Scotch for me and a Rum and Coke for my mate here. Make it a double since he seems a little nervous,” he smiled, pulling his wallet out. Sire looked into Jarvis Densley’s brown irises again. “So you came with someone?”

“Yeah, my roommate and his cousin…”

“Cool,” he said while slipping his wallet back into his coat, “No need to be nervous. Were just talkin’”

“I’m sorry Mr. Jacobs, I’m kinda shy. I didn’t expect Gabriel to pick me out the crowd and bring me up front.”

“Well, obviously, he had a reason, Jarvis. You’re really attractive for one.”

Sire watched Jarvis look away. The young man really was bashful. He would have to work on him to make him more comfortable.

More drinks were in order

Well there you go. I didn't want to share too much because it is a sip after all. Look for this story to come out relatively soon. Thanks for listening folks and we'll see you for the update and the crosspost of Manlove Monday with Kevin Slack.
