Trigger warnings: Dubcon, bondage, first time gay ————— Excerpt: “You’re not getting rid of me that easily,” Tim heard a familiar voice bark as he left the apartment. “I’m not?” Tim asked, slowly turning around to face his bully. He hated that Ashton towered above him, but he wouldn’t let Ashton see how nervous he was. “I know what you’re up to, geek boy.” Tim forced a laugh. “I’m hurt. I really liked the Princess nickname.” “You’re hopeless,” Ashton groaned. “If you leave me alone, I’ll leave you alone. That’s the deal,” Tim reminded him. “What deal? I don’t care about a deal. You’re just a fucktoy. A c*ck sleeve that will get me off when I want to.” “Is that what you think this is? You’re wrong, Ashton. I’m the itch you try to scratch. Too bad for you. You just keep coming back to me. It must be a torment to hide behind a straight jock façade when you’re actually a gay man.” “I’m not gay,” Ashton growled at him. “Yeah, yeah. Just keep reminding yourself, and someday it might work, straight boy.” Tim turned away from him and walked off. “Hey, where are you going?” Ashton asked. “I have more important things to do than to talk to you.” “Wait for me later.” Tim stopped as he barely heard the words coming from Ashton’s lips. “Say that again?” Ashton walked closer, looking around to ensure no one else was listening. “I’ll drop by later.” “I don’t want you to,” Tim sneered at him. “Go find someone else to stick your d*ck into.” “I don’t want anyone else. I want you.” “Forget it. I’m busy.” “Doing what?” “That’s none of your business. We’re not friends or anything else. Nor will we ever be.” “We’ll see about that,” Ashton said. —————

Painkillers, indeed. Had they drugged him? He opened his eyes and stared at the man who’d been talking. Or man was probably to put it lightly. He looked humanoid but was way broader and taller than a normal human. His skin was a light grey colour, but the size of him and the bulge on his crotch told Toby all he needed to know. He was definitely a man, and there was no doubt that he was much stronger than Toby. It wouldn’t be easy to escape him. Toby needed to bide his time and search for a chance to slip away instead of going for a frontal attack. “Who are you?” Toby asked. “I’m Saxon. Your owner.” “My what?” The smile on the man’s face told Toby that he enjoyed watching his confusion. “You’re my new slave, human,” Saxon said. That word Toby could understand. “What the hell are you talking about?” “Less talk. It’s time to join the others. The breeding has started.” —————

Whenever you want him.” “Thanks, Alpha. I’m not turning down such a tasty gift. And I want him right now.” Marsden got up and turned toward Jason. “Come with me, Omega. The others are already waiting for us.” “Waiting for what? What are you talking about?” “You heard my Alpha. You belong to me now.” “What on earth are you talking about? I’m an adult.

Come and have dinner with us.” “Sorry, I can’t. I must be off now,” Jason said and kept walking. “Nonsense,” Milo said and grabbed his arm. He steered Jason in the opposite direction of where he planned to go, and he was surprised by Milo’s strength. Despite his large stomach, Milo was more fit than he had ever been before. But it didn’t seem like Milo was aware of how strong he was. “No, I don’t want to,” Jason objected and tried to pull his arm away from Milo. “I want to get out of here right now.” Milo sighed. “Look. Your mates said we should let you sleep, but you need sustenance to build your strength. Changing into a wolf takes a strong toll on the human body. I know exactly how exhausting it is.” “What the hell are you talking about? Mates? Those guys are certainly not my mates, nor will they ever be. I’ve had it with this place.” Milo placed his right hand on Jason’s shoulder. It felt more comforting than Jason could have expected, and he calmed down. “Let’s eat first, Jason. I’ll explain everything to you afterwards.” Milo said calmly. Jason felt confused. He wanted to leave, but the comforting touch and Milo’s kind eyes persuaded him even if he wanted to object. Before Jason could do anything else, Milo handed him a plate stacked with food. Jason stared at it while he took in the scent of a well-prepared meal. He couldn’t take his eyes off it. He was too hungry to resist. “Eat. You can thank me later,” Milo said with a wide grin. Jason felt more hungry than he had done in weeks. True enough, he had reduced his portions to save money when his paychecks arrived. Did Milo know he hadn’t had a decent meal in a long time? —————

He might receive more pleasure than he had expected, but that didn’t mean that he enjoyed his new position as a f*ck toy. But there was very little he could do about his situation. The more he learned about wolf shifters, the more he realised how difficult it would be to slip away from them without getting caught. They were constantly watching over him wherever he went. But it wasn’t just to keep him safe. It was more likely that they watched him for any chance to get into his pants. “Damn them to hell,” Jason muttered. Then he noticed the kitchen wasn’t as empty as he had thought. The Alpha’s young assistant, Levi, was also there. Jason watched Levi take a pill and swallow it down. “Do they work for headaches? If so, may I also have one?” Jason asked. Levi almost jumped in surprise. A large blush spread across his cheeks as if he felt embarrassed to be caught. Hadn’t he been aware of Jason’s presence? —————

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . . now a #1 Netflix series! In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all---beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she'll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship---jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you---and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend.
