Today we have author J.R. Gray visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?

* When not staying up all night writing, J.R. Gray can be found at the gym where it's half assumed he is a permanent resident to fulfill his self-inflicted masochism. A dominant and a pilot, Gray finds it hard to be in the passenger seat of any car. He frequently interrupts real life, including normal sleep patterns and conversations, to jot down notes or plot bunnies. Commas are the bane of his existence even though it's been fully acknowledged they are necessary, they continue to baffle and bewilder. If Gray wasn't writing…well, that's not possible. The buildup of untold stories would haunt Gray into an early grave, insanity or both. The idea of haunting has always appealed to him. J.R. Gray is genderqueer and prefers he/him pronouns.

What are you going to tell us about today?

~ Blurb ~ * Love is for peasants, nobles marry for power. These are the rules Jocelynn has lived by. She is expected to be the poised and perfect vision of relentless power. Set to inherit the House of Akillie she was bred to rule. Men have never turned her head, until now
* Madden achieved the impossible, the first in over a century to escape the life of hard labor and earn a place among the elite. With the chance for a fresh start, he has to stay focused, not damn himself by falling for the one girl forbidden to him.
* Madden was an experiment in freedom, and she didn’t mean to fall. But now she can't live without him. Some choices are easier than others, while some aren’t choices at all. He’s worth running from everything she’s ever known.
* Jocelynn turns to a formidable group of rebels to escape her fate. But with a war to be won, the rebels have their own agenda. Drowning in a game of power and politics, Madden and Jocelynn can’t trust anyone if they want make it out alive. ~ Excerpt ~ * A grin spread over his face. "Like that?"
* I bit down on my lip and nodded as he slid lower replacing his hand with his mouth. My lips parted in a silent gasp as he hooked his thumbs in my shorts inching them lower.
* "Yes…" My toes curled as I pulled my knees up, opening up for him further. "Too much."
* He explored my stomach with his mouth, blowing his hot breath over my skin. My eyes slid half closed as I toyed with his hair.
* "If you keep saying too much, I'm going to start thinking you want me against your will.” He glanced up as me as he pushed my shorts even lower still with his chin.
* "It's not that…" My words trailed off turning into a soft moan when he bit at my hip.
* "Then what is it?" His voice was low and husky, laced with need.
* I had visions of us hot and sweaty, all wrapped up in each other. I flushed all over at the thought of how he would feel against me.
* "It's…" I pressed my eyes closed, tilting my head back. "I'm afraid no one else will ever feel this good, that this is my only chance, and you're five hundred light years away."

A look into...

~ Blurb ~ * I survive on avoidance. Physical pain to avoid the mental. Disposable flesh to avoid relationships. Work to avoid attachment. My club became my empire of avoidance. Inside the ring millions are won and lost. The fight is confined to breaths, actions and reactions, fists and pain. Rules don’t exist. Only my opponent exists.
* I’d been avoiding my needs for far too long when Remi stumbles into the Inferno and I’m hungry. The promise of a submissive with no attachment is far too tempting. I can’t resist him. He was only supposed to be a distraction, but I know I'll never get over him. There isn't a chance in this clouded hell.
~ Excerpt ~ * If I hadn't seen the video of the fight, I wouldn't have believed it. I clicked the button on my laptop to rewind it, to see the way his body moved. I gripped myself through my shorts and glanced over at Kai. He was busy inking a full back piece, and I doubted he'd even take a break for another hour. He couldn't see me from where I sat. It would be so easy.
* I trailed my fingers over the places Dante had left marks. I could almost taste them, even if the bruises had faded. I'd looked at them in the mirror over my bed and fucked my hand every night since I'd left. I groaned as I slipped my hand into my shorts.
* I squeezed my shaft, digging my nails into the sensitive skin. I had to bite back a hiss of pain. Kai could easily walk out and see me. The rooms in the shop were three-quarter walls to divide the space with wide open doorways. Maybe I wanted to be caught. I kicked my feet out, watching a bead of sweat drip down Dante's neck. When he threw a punch his muscles tightened, and it took me back to him swinging his belt. The sound of his fist hitting flesh was close, so close, to the way the leather sounded against mine.
* I shouldn't be imagining him touching me, but it was impossible not to. I wanted his hands on me. I wanted him to mark me with them. I was hit with the sudden realization he'd been acting when he was in the ring with me. He hadn't even gone at half speed. He was a monster when he fought. It took every ounce of self-control I had to keep from getting up and into my Jeep to drive to the airport.
* I used my free hand to unbutton my shorts and slide down my zipper, freeing my cock.

* My gay erotic romance: Veil of Scars. A look into the story

~ Blurb ~ * Steven is tall, dark and damaged. He doesn't let anyone close, comfortable on the outside of normal life where he can hide his scars behind a wall so high that nothing gets through…except them. Despite a childhood marred with black and blue, he's survived and moved in with his two best friends, Sam and Charlie.
* Life should get better, but it was Sam who held him when the dark threatened to swallow him whole, Sam who gave him a place that felt like home, and Sam who knew every scar and every broken place.
* And it's all been taken away with Charlie sharing Sam's bed.
* Without his former comfort, Steven realizes what's been hiding in the deep corners of his heart, and the truth sinks him like a weight. He’s in love with one or maybe both of his roommates. Navigating unrequited love tears Steven apart and brings him to the precipice, and he has to choose: his feelings or Sam’s…and Charlie’s? ~ Excerpt ~

* Soon the music was going and party-goers were milling about in the low lights. There were drinks and bodies on every surface. I stood behind the bar, not minding making drinks for the guests since there was little else at the party that I wanted to do. The atmosphere mellowed as the liquor took effect, and Sam had long stopped trying to drag me out to dance. Instead, he’d taken up a spot on the couch with Char. Their mouths met, skin and lips, while their hands wandered, stroking and skimming over each other’s clothes as the party moved around them. I sat back, finding I was no longer needed as everyone was sated. The few remaining people had paired off in couples for the night, strewn over the furniture and floor. The base thumped, and bodies moved with it as if the alcohol had turned them into living recreations of the music. The door to Char and Sam's room slammed shut, closing off a guy and two adventurous women.
* Sam’s head snapped back at the sound, and he cursed under his breath. He glanced around then whispered to Char. She giggled and grabbed a throw off the back of the couch.
* An outsider where I sat, I seemed to have escaped notice as the only fairly sober party in the room.
* She pulled the blanket over herself and then moved the thin fabric over his lap. Soon Sam’s head flopped back into the cushion, and his mouth fell open in a soundless moan. Charlie's eyes blazed with mischief, and she grew more eager with every reaction from her boyfriend. His hand slid up her shoulder, curling around the back of her neck. My skin burned in the same place, a physical memory of the times he’d touched me the same way.
* He dragged his head off the back of the sofa and looked at her, his blue gaze pleading louder than any words could. The air buzzed with electricity from the pair of them. He licked over his lips, and the muscles in his arm tightened as he guided her head towards his lap. Charlie ducked under the blanket, and a flash of heat ran through me.
* Was she really going to go down on him in the middle of the party?
* I held my breath, transfixed as Sam lifted up his ass below where the blanket covered him to slide his pants down around his ankles, I guessed. He groaned, this time audibly, and the sound went right to my gut. I chewed on my lip ring unable to stop myself from staring. Charlie's head bobbed under the cover, and Sam's eyes rolled back in his head.
* Suddenly I was flushed and embarrassed. I was the voyeur, spying on my friends who were caught up in drunken passion. I tore my eyes away from his lap only to find his blue gaze locked on me.

A look into the story

~ Blurb ~ * The Christmas season is fast approaching for Jesse Goldmen and George Sirus, and their forced break up weighs heavily on their sanity. Trying to keep a connection alive is almost impossible as they turn to stolen late night dinners and secret meetings, which never seem enough.
* Zac Goldmen takes an interest in George’s slave, Elliot. Being told no only makes Zac want Elliot more, so he starts a ridiculous campaign to try and shock and charm Elliot into bed. But his advances are put on hold when Elliot gets outed in the aftermath of the blackmail scandal, causing a big media storm for him and his father the Vice President.
* Kennedy seeks solace from Zac, when things just get too much for her, bringing out his hidden caring side. Zac finds himself torn between being a friend and an easy hook up. Determined to see Elliot and bring him some holiday spirit, Zac starts a battle of wits with George. Will George be able to outsmart Zac, and keep him away from Elliot, for long? ~ Excerpt ~ * The doorbell rang early in the morning. Elliot had finished his chores and was sitting on the floor next to the fire, working on his homework. There was no one else in the penthouse, and he wasn’t expecting anyone. When he wrenched open the heavy, ornate door he found Zac, Jesse’s brother, staring back at him wearing fireman pants and suspenders to hold them up. His body was smeared with charcoal, and he looked oiled. Elliot was entirely confused.
* “The exact face I wanted to see.”
* “Can I help you, Sir?” Elliot reverted to his training.
* “Yes, I have a hose that needs servicing.” Zac grinned wickedly.
* Elliot tried not to let the shock show on his face. “I’m sorry, the King is out. Can I take a message?” He shifted and squirmed, getting flustered at the seeming advance from the beautiful redhead.
* “I didn’t want it from him.” The bulge in Zac’s pants was noticeable, and Elliot tried not to stare. “And I knew he was gone.”
* “How did you know he was gone?”
* “I watched his car through the camera I installed above his parking space ‘til it left.” He flattened out his mouth and raised both brows like it was no big deal.
* Elliot stared.

A look into the story

~ Blurb ~ * With the legal trouble behind them, Daniel Caplin and Rafael Argon are ready to settle into a low key d/s relationship, but life is unrelenting, when blackmail shatters their illusion of happily ever after. Pictures from one of the Rafael’s public scenes instill fear into his new Submissive, Daniel, acting as a wedge driving the new couple apart.
* The building peril in George’s community weighs heavy on his shoulders as he struggles to find the culprit while hiding his feelings for his new house guest. Jesse is torn between ending his marriage, picking up a rebound he should have left fifteen years in the past, and the dangling carrot of a possible relationship with a man. He is forced to fight for what he wants most, a leap he may be too chicken to take.
* In the sequel to Legally Bound George battles to take down an unknown enemy, while watching helpless, as those he cares for most are broken beyond repair. Can Rafael and Daniel rebuild their trust after it's broken with lies? ~ Excerpt ~ * The back elevator dinged as he approached, and the doors slid back to reveal Jesse's face. He had circles under his eyes and worry lines in his forehead. Two fingers held a garment bag over one shoulder and a duffle over his other.
* “Is it still okay if I stay?” He put a smile on his lips that George knew was fake.
* “But of course. Let me help you.” George approached him and tried to take the bag, but Jesse didn’t move to hand it over.
* “I’ve got it.”
* “Don’t be absurd. I would have a slave do it, but he’s rather tied up at the moment.”
* The statement earned a chuckle out of Jesse, and he gave up the bag. Even hurt Jesse had a light in his blue eyes and his heart on his sleeve, a trait that made him wholly unique compared to the masks most wore to impress George.
* “I can stay on the sofa or something if the slaves use the guest rooms.”
* George laughed and turned his back to stalk down the hall. When he didn’t hear Jesse following, he cast a glance over his shoulder.
* “Slaves in bed … how naive you really are, handsome.”
* Jesse started after him, brow creased. “Where do they sleep then?” He caught up and followed George to the other side of the penthouse.
* He realized Jesse was serious, and he laughed throatily again. “I have cages for them.”
* “I love you and Daniel, but your lifestyle is fucked.”

A Look At Jesse Goldmen & Rafael Argon from 'Legally Bound' ~ @BooksByGray @evernightpub @TheOriginalGray #gay #bdsm

..Today we have Jesse Goldmen and Rafael Argon visiting from the story Legally Bound. Welcome!

..Jesse Goldmen and Rafael Argon, what would you like to tell readers about yourselves?
......Jesse walks in with a swagger and takes a seat. "We had a fight over who was going to do this, and I won." The shit eating grin on his face is pretty evident as he goes on. “I'm from the greatest city on the planet, Chicago, were I work as a public defender. I come into the story to find my partner, and best friend, has slept with our client. Momentarily I’m in shock, but then I nearly have tears of joy. Monday's are horrid, so it had potential to entertain me all day at Daniel's expense."
......Rafael walks in half a beat later and huffs. "The book is about me. I should be doing this." Ignoring Jesse he turns to answer the question. "I've lived in the city since I was about five, and I work as a paid dominant here. I got into some trouble with a cop and find out my one night stand from the night before is now my public defender."
......"Not me," Jesse added. "My partner."

..Are you happy with the way people perceive you?
......"I can't say I've ever really cared about the way people look at me. I kind of just do my own thing, you know?" Jesse pushes his fingers into his blond hair and half shrugs.
......Rafael rolls his eyes. "I guess so. Most people get the hard exterior. I don't want to let anyone in. When I do, I get burned."

..Is humor important? Why or why not? - OR - Is expressing love difficult for you? Why or Why not?
......"YES! I'd like to think I steal the book with my humor, and even though I'm a 'side,'" he makes air quotes with his fingers, “character, I think people are rooting for me."
......"You have no plot!" Raf scrubs a hand over his face. "Who let you do this anyway?"
......"I tied Daniel up and left him in the back." Jesse smooths a hand down his tie and tires to look innocent.
......Rafael sighs as he hears Daniel's muffled cries for help around what he's pretty sure is a ball gag. "Don't touch my toys again."
......Jesse whispers, "It's hard for Raf to express love."

..Does your author ever try to take over the story? And how do you deal with it?
......"Yes, I think so, since the story isn't quite about me." Jesse mutters under his breath.
......"This is why I should be doing the interview, Jesse," Raf growled.
......"Go help your boyfriend."

..If you were taken out of the story and placed into your author’s world, what would be the first thing you’d do?
......"I'd learn magic at Hogwarts. I think I'd make a fantastic wizard. Silencio," he says while pointing an imaginary wand at Raf.
......Raf groaned. “I’d be in The God Father. Then I could put a hit on his ass first thing."

..If you could pull your author into your world, what do you think would happen to them?
......"Gray and I would have a good time." Eyes light up like a child.
......"J.R. would want to top you, you know that right?" Raf looks at Jesse with an amused grin.
......Jesse scowls and shifted in his seat.

..What was the best sexual experience you’ve had?
......"Pass." Jesse puts a nice neat 'x' over this question.
......"Just wait till you get to book two, folks." There’s a glint in Rafael's eyes. "Read the book. My and Daniel’s highlights are in there." He winks.

..Now for some author information!
......My author is J.R. Gray. When not staying up all night writing, J.R Gray can be found basking in the warm glow of the Miami sun, or at the gym where it's half assumed Gray is a permanent resident. A dominant, pilot, and sword fighting enthusiast, Gray finds it hard to be in the passenger seat of any car. Gray frequently interrupts real life, including normal sleep patterns, to jot down nonsense. The bane of Gray's existence are commas, and even though it's been fully acknowledged they are necessary, they continue to baffle and bewilder.
......If Gray wasn't writing…well, that's not possible. The buildup of untold stories would haunt Gray into an early grave or possibly a mental institution where the tales would end up on the walls in crayon and finger paint.

..Now for some book information!
..A look into the story

~ Blurb ~ ......The last thing Daniel, a hard-working public defender, expected to see the morning after a one night stand was his hook-up staring back at him from the wrong side of the law. Assigned to work his case, Daniel vows to keep things professional with Rafael but has a hard time controlling his craving for dominance, the control, and the connection they shared. Rafael, a paid Dominant in the Chicago underworld, has been dealing with a cop problem for far too long. Used to sex with no emotion, he’s entranced with Daniel’s submission, his innocence, and…could there be something more? Can Daniel clear Rafael's name, keeping him out of jail and in his life, with the odds, a cop, and the mounting evidence against them?
......Be Warned: m/m sex, BDSM, branding, flogging, caning, whipping
~ Excerpt ~ ......“Oh shit," Daniel said too loud, drawing the attention of the bailiff. He waved her off, muttering, “Nothing.”
......“What?” Jesse hissed.
......“I fucked one of our cases last night,” he admitted, knowing his friend would get it out of him one way or another. There was no point fighting his partner’s excellent extraction skills.
......“Which one?” he asked, looking over his shoulder, way too amused.
......Daniel tried to nod subtly to one of the prisoners.
......“You have to give me more than that.” The blond lawyer stood up and blatantly turned around to study the men sitting in the rows behind them.
......Stiffening in his seat, he tried to keep his back to the man he had seen every naked inch of, as well as had his tongue buried inside of, till the early hours of the morning.
......“Dark hair, about six foot, green eyes.” He tried to speak out of the corner of his mouth so no one could read his lips.
......“The one with the sleeve tattoo and the huge arms?” Jesse asked.
......“Yeah,” he answered in a low, sheepish voice.
......“I knew it was that one. You so have a type.” Jesse flipped back around to take his seat once more. He instantly went for the files, lifting up folders and setting the large stack right in front of him.
......“What are you doing?” Daniel kept looking over his shoulder to see if the guy showed any signs of recognition.
......“What’s his name?” His partner didn’t look up from the stack of files as he spoke.
......“Rafael,” he whispered, face flushed at just saying his name. “What are you doing?”
......“Figuring out what your lay did,” Jesse said, positively glowing by now.
......“I really hate you,” he responded, pulling at his tie and trying to loosen it.
