Excerpt:
"You belong to me, Leo."
The voice
spilled over him like liquid silk, the man's face a dark shadow in the
twilight. Leo lowered his head to nuzzle the hairless balls, to drink in the
rich, hypnotic scent he craved. Under his palms, strong thigh muscles tensed,
moving under sweat-soaked skin. Leo moved his mouth, pressing kisses up his
lover's long, hard shaft. Strong fingers twisted in Leo's hair, dragging his
mouth to the weeping slit.
"Open your mouth. Suck me." The
deep, sensual voice commanded.
Leo swiped
his tongue across the tip, the familiar, rich, musky flavor bursting across his
tongue. His heart clenched. He loved this man with a soul-destroying passion.
This man completed him. His dream lover, his ultimate fantasy. Leo moaned in
bliss. He couldn't wait to taste him again and lunged forward to slide his
tongue across the velvet shaft.
I don't know
your name. Tell me your name.
The bed
began to lurch and roll. The dream faded and he awoke achingly hard and
frustrated. Damn it. Why do I always have the same dream?
"Winds of up to one hundred and fifty
miles an hour . . . ."
Leo Marshall lifted the baseball cap off his
eyes and yawned. What was that?
Stretching,
he eased out of the chair and moved to the edge of the boat to pull in his
fishing rod. The balmy summer day had vanished, hidden behind a violent, black
storm front. Clouds of every shade of grey charged across the sky. An icy wind
cut through his t-shirt and whipped the once glassy blue ocean into angry white
caps. In the distance, lightning illuminated flashes of the coastline,
misshapen behind a wall of torrential rain.
Fuck. Leo secured
his belongings and ducked inside the cabin. On the two-way, he could hear the
Coastguard giving out warnings. He radioed in his details and position.
"You
won't make it to Harper's Peak. Didn't you hear the warnings?" came the
response. "You will have to try and ride it out. We have your position. Do
you have a satellite beacon?"
Leo ran a hand through his hair. He’d ridden
out many storms and his boat was well equipped to handle a storm front. "Yes,
I do, thank God."
The
Coastguard signed off and Leo stood transfixed, watching the sea join the inky
blue of the sky and close in around him, plunging him into twilight. The Laura Jane rolled and dipped, huge waves
crashing over her bow. Leo dragged on his life jacket and pulled his way to the
stern to up anchor. Wind tore off his baseball cap; it dragged his long hair
from its binding and whipped it across his eyes. Brushing at his face, he
looked up at the savage sky; his eyes widened. "Holy fuck."
Highlighted
by blanket lightning, a funnel rose from the sea. The awesome beast swirled
high into the clouds and danced across the ocean like a giant hydra. Long
trails of water undulated from its twisting neck with gaping maws. The wind
roared, lashing salty rain into his face and tearing at his clothes with icy
fingers. Leo dropped the anchor on the deck and battled his way back to the cabin.
I have to get out of here. He depressed the start button on the engine,
once, twice.
Nothing.
He ran his
arm over his face, swiping at the seawater stinging his eyes, and depressed the
button again. "Come on girl."
The motor
caught and burst into life. Leo laughed in triumphant desperation and fought
frantically to turn the craft around. A great surge of white water picked up
the Laura Jane and dragged the small
craft up to the crown of a gigantic wave. Leo clung to the wheel, water
swirling in the cabin up to his knees. The boat hovered on the crest then
surfed down the shimmering wall at world record speed. Leo looked down the face
of the twenty-foot wave and gasped. I'll never out run it.
The boat
crashed into the foaming water, bobbing like a cork. It lurched to one side and
the crab basket and fishing tackle slammed against Leo's legs. In his hands,
the slippery wheel fought against him, spinning one way and then the other. The
bow dipped sharply and the propeller broke free of the waves, the engine
screaming in protest. The sea roared its discontent, and before him, a
whirlpool opened up, a giant vortex sucking everything into oblivion. Leo
swallowed, fear closing his throat, ears deafened bythe roar that sounded like
a freight train. The Laura Jane lay
on its side, dark, swirling water pinning it in its embrace. Whipped into a
giant centrifuge in hell, Leo joined the speeding procession of marine debris.
Above, a mountain of spinning black water, below, a swirling orifice of black
and green sank down to the depths of hell.
Leo clung to
the cabin door, his legs floating in midair. The howl of a thousand devils
shrieked in his head. The roof of the cabin ripped off in a whine of twisted
metal. He looked up one last time, seeking the heavens. Within the madness, a
strange calmness enclosed him. His fingers grew numb and slipped off the cabin
door. Goodbye, Mom and Dad.
