Today is a red letter day on my calendar. 'Lessons', the first story I sold, released today in the anthology "Cherry" from Torquere Press:
http://www.torquerepress.com/fiction/cherry.html
'Lessons' features Danny O'Riordan, the main character from "Embracing the Dragon". It takes place a couple of months after the events featured in "Embracing the Dragon" and its sequel. Danny has agreed, against his better judgment to a course of lessons in the arts of love as practiced in the Tengri Empire. Here's a very brief sample:
------------------------
“Sometimes it’s more pleasurable to do things for each other than to let servants do them,” Liu explained, picking up a soft, fluffy towel. He patted Danny’s upper body dry with it, very gently, then began working his way down the back of Danny's legs. He came around in front, kneeling to dry the front of Danny’s legs.
Danny looked down at Liu, kneeling there, with his long dark hair falling around him like a curtain, the ends dripping water from the tub, and thought he was one of the most beautiful things Danny had ever seen. He reached out gently to stroke Liu's hair, brushing the tip of an ear as he did. Liu gave a pleased gasp. “Oh, yes, Danny. Do that again. That’s wonderful.” He looked up, his eyes wide in his pale face. Water drops sparkled on his chest.
-------------------------
I'll stop there because I don't want to have to mark this post as 18+. If you want the whole lesson, follow the link above and check out the book.
