A Novella in Frankie's
Series
Ed Winters despises his
job and hates everyone he works with—especially out and
proud, happily in love Frankie Mason. He spends his days wishing he could
dance, rather than work.
Late to go shopping one
day, Ed ends up soaked in Marchant Belarus’s spilled Coke. Ed’s humiliation
increases when Marchant, the owner of a BDSM club, realizes Ed is a sub, albeit
a very closeted one. Marchant’s attempts to draw Ed out of his shell release
years of pent-up anger and hurt over the abuse Ed’s mother and grandmother
heaped on him.
Marchant is patient, but
nothing he does seems to help until he discovers Ed’s secret love of dancing—a
forbidden passion that might be the key to unlocking the confident, secure man
Ed could be.

EXCERPT
FROM
THE isolation of his cubicle, Ed Winters watched over the top of his rimless
glasses as two members of his staff twirled around the office, and his lip
curled. “One day soon, Mr. Mason, you will get what you deserve.”
It
was wishful thinking on Ed’s part. Frankie Mason was Teflon-coated. He could
waltz in late, flirt with all the women, and screw up, but nothing touched him,
and everyone worshipped the ground he walked on. Even the bitches in management
thought Mason had golden balls. The bollocking Ed had received for snitching on
Frankie still rankled bitterly.
Ed
hated his job… and his staff, including Frankie Mason. Especially Frankie
Mason.
Of
course the feeling was returned in spades. Ed knew exactly what his staff at
the insurance company thought of him. He had once heard Frankie describe him as
a 1950s Tory poster boy who disliked “women, black people, anyone from the
Indian subcontinent, curry, the French, the Irish, dogs—” and after that
damning (and stunningly accurate) indictment, Frankie had minced across the
room with a limp wrist, enunciating “—hom-o-sex-uals.”
Frankie
was a screaming queer (his words) and didn’t give a flying fart what Ed Winters
thought about him (also his words).
Ed
despised him.
It’s
not as if anything Frankie said was incorrect. Ed hated all those things and
more. If anyone had asked him what he did like… well, no one asked him. No one
talked to him at work unless they had to, which was exactly the way he
preferred it, and he didn’t have any friends or family.
In
Ed’s pristine ivory home, nothing and no one disturbed his peace. He could shut
the door behind him, place his shoes neatly in the shoe rack, hang up his
jacket, and forget about the idiots and lowlifes that infested his existence.
No
one knocked at Ed’s door or called his phone. His flat was his castle, and
there he found peace. His sanctuary soothed his soul. It kept him going through
the eight-and-a-half hours of the miserable drudgery of work.
If
he lived close enough, he would escape back home at lunchtime, but it was just
too far away to make it feasible. Instead Ed ate his spinach salad and
sparkling water at his desk every day, looking out the window to the park
beyond and wishing he was there. Not in the park. The park was fine, but the
other occupants—the screaming kids, filthy dogs leaving their shit over the
paths, and shrill mothers—were the bane of his existence. But the park was on
his route. A place of joy at five thirty in the evening and doom and despair at
eight thirty in the morning as he approached the office.
Ed
looked down at the files on his desk, and his lip curled. “How on earth did I
end up here? I had plans.”
He’d
planned to set the world on fire with his dancing. Instead he’d ended up in a
dead-end job that drained his soul. Not just his job. His life. Ed refused to
admit, even to himself, the soul-sucking loneliness of his existence.
Ed
looked over at Frankie now engaging in an obscene tango with that slut, Charlotte,
also a member of his team.
“You
think you can dance?” he muttered. “I can dance. I could make you cry with my
paso doble.”
But
the world was never going to weep tears over his paso doble, and Ed was going
to shuffle papers, hating his life until he died, bitter and alone.

Watching
Marchant train his new sub leaves Tony unhappy at not having found a Dom of his
own. Running Marchant’s BDSM club, Tony sees who the Doms prefer and it isn’t
him—too big, too old, and too hairy. When his friend Jordan suggests he look
outside the club, Tony’s mind turns to Leo, a man he met in a traffic jam. Tony
manages to arrange a date and happily learns Leo is funny, very toppy, and not
averse to Tony's lifestyle. As a bonus, Leo sells sex toys.
When tragedy strikes the club, Tony fears he
can’t help the mourning club members, but Leo offers his unwavering support.
After such a tough start, Tony believes Leo is the Dom he’s been looking for...
until he catches him kissing another man.
